Help each other

 Help each other, by Haripada dasa

As I understand it, association with devotees means helping each other, and if in this association we see someone who has a lot of hypocrisy, personal interests and contradictions, our duty for the sake of that person and others is to help him, Srila Prabhupada He said that I am very proud to have had a disciple like Jayananda prabhu, and he also said that everyone should follow his example, the essence of Jayananda prabhu's life is that everything he did was for Srila Prabhupada to be happy, in him no vested interests existed, having vested interests in Krishna consciousness is terrible, once I sent a message titled the spiritual aspect, the gist of this message is that Srila Prabhupada taught us in practice that when the spiritual aspect is very strong, God or Krishna is very pleased and reciprocates with giving much intelligence and material opulence, association of devotees means open relationship based on love and trust, due We would like to ask each other, how are your 16 rounds going, are you chanting them, are you following the 4 regulative principles, are you reading Srila Prabhupada's books, when there is a good relationship with devotees we overcome our hypocrisy and impersonalism, I share a very nice poem Srila Bhaktivinoda Thakura who has helped me a lot, he always said: "Forget the past, it is asleep, and in the future your heart must not dream, and in the present you must become Krishna conscious, that is your obligation".

When Srila Prabhupada arrived in the USA, he wrote some very beautiful poems, in one of them he said that when all the souls that are suffering in this material world are happy in Krishna consciousness, the wish of the Acharyas or authorized spiritual teachers will have been fulfilled. . That is the only wish of a true devotee, that everyone be happy in Krishna consciousness. Regarding leadership in Krishna consciousness, my humble opinion is that a leader is one who has the greatest capacity to serve, Jesus always said if you want to be a leader, become the servant of all, I agree that Srila Prabhupada gave readings on the Nectar of devotion in the 1972 Kartika at the Sri Radha Damodara in Vrindavana, his topics were the association of devotees, the position of the spiritual master and living in Vrindavana. "The spiritual master should be treated as Hari, the Supreme Person, even if he is offered the same respect as Hari, he must think that he is a humble servant of Hari and everyone, he thinks of his disciples as if they were his spiritual masters , that is the position, he must think that Krishna has sent him many spiritual masters, he does not think of himself as spiritual master, he thinks that he is a servant, because they have to be trained, Krishna has appointed him as the one who will train them, therefore he must think that he is the servant of his disciples."
