Return to God

 Return to God, by Haripada dasa

Human life is to achieve values. This form of human life is one that can provide values. And, what is the greatest value that can be achieved in life? To return home, back to Godhead, one's egoism should aim to go back to Godhead. Notice how merciful is God or Krishna, Pure Kindness, even though we have turned our backs on Him, He keeps us by giving us food, water, etc., everything, the reason we are in this material world, the world of envy, is that we have misused free will, and we have turned our backs on God thinking that we will be happy without God, and God is so merciful that he does not interfere with our freedom, the material world is a true prison where rebellious souls are punishes them, so-called material pleasures cause more suffering, but because punishments are remedies, souls are reformed through suffering, when a person suffers the false ego loosens, but how right Srila Bhaktivinoda Thakura was when he always said that the rebellious soul is hostile to serving God and His devotees.

The consciousness of God or Krishna is a spiritual science, and to reach the goal of life which is to have love for God, one has to go through nine stages, the first is faith, then one associates with pure devotees of God, the The result of this is that faith increases, then one begins to chant the Hare Krishna maha-mantra, by singing and leading a sinless life, the heart is purified of the bad qualities that rob the soul of energy, these are the lust, anger, greed, envy, pride and ignorance, then one gets fixed in spiritual life, then one likes spiritual life, then one becomes attached to spiritual life, then when one does spiritual practices he feels spiritual emotions, tears in his eyes and the hairs on his body stand on end, etc., and then love for God, when one reaches this goal he cannot live without God just as a fish cannot live without water.

The difference between the spiritual culture of India and other cultures is that in the Holy Scriptures of India there are ten billion verses that inform us of the unlimited names, forms, qualities and pastimes of God, and there are also many detailed information about God. what is the Kingdom of God, there only exists God, His Devotees and the love relationships between God or Krishna and His Devotees.

In the Nectar of Devotion in chapter 9 it is said the price that must be paid to return to God, to return to our true home, in other words, we must learn to cry for the Lord. We must learn this little technique, and we must be very eager ---and actually cry--- to engage in some particular kind of service. This is called laulyam, and those tears are the price of the highest perfection. If this laulyam, or excessive yearning to find and serve the Lord in some particular way, develops in someone, it is the price for entering the Kingdom of God. Otherwise, there is no material way to calculate the value of the ticket that allows us to enter the Kingdom of God. The only price for that ticket is this laulyaí lālasāmayī, or desire and longing.

Disciples of Srila Prabhupada

Disciples of Srila Prabhupada, by Haripada dasa

The example of a perfect disciple of Srila Prabhupada is Jayananda Prabhu, he was always busy serving Srila Prabhupada with love and devotion, he always chanted his 16 rounds of The Maha-Mantra Hare Krishna, Hare Krishna, Krishna Krishna, Hare Hare / Hare Rama , Hare Rama, Rama Rama, Hare Hare (H is read as J for J), strictly followed the 4 regulative principles and chanted his 3 Gayatris, the result of this is that this great devotee was the friend of the whole world. Now I am going to analyze the mentality of the false disciples of Srila Prabhupada, they think that because they are disciples of Srila Prabhupada they are the chosen ones, and if they see that someone does wonderful services, but is not a disciple of Srila Prabhupada, they think that this devotee is worthless , is doomed, the fake Srila Prabhupada disciples, they don't chant the 16 rounds or follow the 4 regulative principles, and yet they want everyone to respect them, and the followers of these fake Srila Prabhupada disciples, are worse than them , because they think that when my guru dies, I will be his successor, so those people create a society of cheaters and cheated, and they are very strange, envious and very dangerous people, you have to be afraid of those people, and you have to ignore them .

It is very interesting what Srila Prabhupada says in Chaitanya Charitamrita, Madhya lila, 15, 111: Being properly initiated or not is not something to be taken into account. An initiated person may still be contaminated by the Māyāvāda philosophy, but a person who casually chants the holy name of the Lord will not be subject to such contamination. A properly initiated Vaiṣṇava may be imperfect, but one who casually chants the holy name of the Lord is completely perfect. I take this opportunity to thank Nalini Kantha prabhu for having initiated me in the name of Srila Prabhupada, that has helped me a lot to feel the presence of Srila Prabhupada and in my life and to purify myself from the contamination of having been previously initiated by two false gurus, and i also want to thank mahatma prabhu because thanks to him i have known the glories of jayananda prabhu.

Negative and positive changes

 Negative and positive changes, by Haripada dasa

This message is related to the changes that have been made to Srila Prabhupada's books, these changes are negative and positive, this requires an explanation, an example of negative changes is for example verse 4, 34 of the Gita, in the original it says that the self-realized soul can impart knowledge to you because he has seen the truth, that is, he puts the guru in the singular, but they changed him and put the self-realized souls can impart knowledge to you because they have seen the truth, these changes have not been made to satisfy Srila Prabhupada but to satisfy the personal interests of the many iskcon gurus, or in other words, they belittled Srila Prabhupada to favor others, and that is a mistake and a great offense against Srila Prabhupada, in negative changes there is always malice against Srila Prabhupada, and now I expose the positive changes.

For example in the meaning of the Gita, 10, 29 it is said that there is also a planet of trees where Aryama presides, we all understand that there is no planet of trees, as I understand the devotee who was listening to Srila Prabhupada's tape and writing the Gita he understood it that way, but if you look at the verse word by word it says that pitrinam means of the ancestors or ancestors, so in the meaning it should put that there is also a planet of ancestors or ancestors where Aryama presides, another example of positive changes, in the CC, AL, 6, 73 Srila Prabhupada says in the purport that this verse was spoken by Queen Kunti, but actually that verse was spoken by Rukmini, positive changes means that we are helping Sria Prabhupada in his service of writing his books, and unlike the negative changes that are based on malice against Srila Prabhupada, the positive changes are based on love for Srila Prabhupada. I would like to know your opinion on all this.

I like the spiritual life

 I like the spiritual life, by Haripada dasa

Material life means sense gratification, egoism, me and mine, and the law of the funnel, wide for me and narrow for others, spiritual life means pleasing the transcendental senses of God or Krishna, always thinking about doing the good to others without wanting anything in return and it is also the law of the funnel but in reverse, the spiritualist sacrifices the wide part for the good of the narrow. I like to sing every day The Maha-Mantra Hare Krishna, Hare Krishna, Krishna Krishna, Hare Hare / Hare Rama, Hare Rama, Rama Rama, Hare Hare, (H is read as J for J) 16 rounds are at least 27,648 saints names of God, this with practice is from an hour and a half to two hours. I like to offer incense to the Altar and to the Deities, I like to offer food to Srila Prabhupada, Sri Gauranga Mahaprabhu and Krishna, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, I like to share spiritual experiences online and on Facebook, I like that my life is not controlled by worldly and demonic people, I like to go to Vrndavana in India, to distribute prasada or spiritual food to school children, to bathe in Radha Kunda, to make pilgrimage to the holy Govardana Hill, I like to study the books of Srila Prabhupada, that means associating with Srila Prabhupada, Bhaktivinoda Thakura always said that he reasoned badly who says that devotees of God or Krishna die, They are still living, in the sound!, they die to live, and while they live they try to spread the Holy name around the world. Many people asked him what will happen to his movement when you die, and Srila Prabhupada always said that I will never die, I will always live in my books and those who obey my spiritual instructions will always live with me, Srila Prabhupada wrote 80 books of 400 pages each , there is everything a person needs to practice genuine spiritual life.

I like to see that so many people are deprogramming themselves from material life and are having a great interest in knowing and loving God, I like to lead a pure and sinless life, that is why I have abandoned illicit sexual life, games of chance, drugs and the consumption of meat, fish and eggs, Krishna consciousness is the practice of spiritual activities, the result of these practices is that we transfer from the material world to the spiritual world. I like to go to bed at 10 at night and get up at 5 in the morning, God helps those who get up early. I like to establish relationships with other devotees based on spiritual love and trust. I like to be a humble servant of Srila Prabhupada and all of humanity.

Thanks to God or Krishna and His representative my spiritual master Srila Prabhupada since 1984 I detached myself from society, love and worldly friendships, since then I have tried to establish a relationship with people based on spiritual love and trust, love spiritual means the full conviction that success in life is to please God or Krishna and His devotees and confidence means that there will be no betrayal.
