Our mission

 Our mission, by Haripada dasa

As I understand it the mission of those people who have full faith that Srila Prabhupada is the way, the truth and the life, and if someone goes back home back to God or Krishna, it is by the mercy of Srila Prabhupada It is helping each other to obey Srila Prabhupada's instructions and free ourselves from doubts, the result of doing this is that we will live with Srila Prabhupada, acquire his qualities and qualify ourselves to go back home, back to Godhead. In relation to this it is very interesting what Srila Prabhupada says in the Bhagavatam, 5, 12, 13, there he says that this movement for Kṛishṇa consciousness has been founded to engage people in the service and glorification of the Lord the twenty-four hours of the day. In this institution, students engage in Kṛishṇa consciousness cultivation from five in the morning until ten at night. That way they don't have a chance to waste time unnecessarily talking about politics, sociology and current affairs. All this follows its own course. The devotee is only interested in serving Kṛishṇa in a serious and positive way.

Another point is that we always have to emphasize strictly following the spiritual standards given by Srila Prabhupada, here everyone chants his 16 offense-free rounds of the Maha Mantra Hare Krishna, everyone follows the 4 regulative principles very strictly, 1, do not eat meat, fish or eggs, 2, no illicit sex, only sex is allowed to procreate and with one's wife, 3, no gambling, and 4, no tea, coffee, alcohol, drugs, etc., all sing the three gayatris daily, everyone follows Ekadasis, Purusottama month, Chaturmasya, Kartika Vrata, appearances and disappearances of the Supreme Lord and His devotees, everyone avoids bad association and is always happy and eager to associate with serious and sincere devotees of Srila Prabhupada, they always wear the tilaka marks on their body, they always have Srila Prabhupada at the center of their lives and they help people to put Srila Prabhupada at the center of their lives and every day they read in the morning and p Hearing Srila Prabhupada's books at night, they only eat Krishna prasada, food offered to Srila Prabhupada, Sri Gauranga Mahaprabhu and Sri Krishna, the Supreme Personality of Godhead.

Here everyone obeys the instructions given by Srila Prabhupada in his books on how we should use our hard earned wealth, Srila Prabhupada gives the example of Srila Rupa Goswami, when he retired from service to the Muslim government and surrendered to the lotus feet of Sri Gauranga Mahaprabhu divided his wealth into three parts. 1-50 percent gave it to the Brahmanas and Vaisnavas, 25 percent for their relatives and the other 25 percent for personal emergencies, by practicing this a transcendental atmosphere is created and egoism is destroyed. Here nobody speculates, we understand and accept that a person is speculating, when he does things in a capricious way without relying on the Guru, Sadhu and Sastra.

In the Iskcon as it is only the original books of Srila Prabhupada are used, we are totally against all the changes that have been made to the original books of Srila Prabhupada.

Annoying people

 Annoying people, by Haripada dasa

I share that I have a DVD that Srila Prabhupada is being interviewed by some journalists in Australia, these journalists were very negative against Srila Prabhupada and he defended himself by saying that Jesus Christ was crucified, he did nothing wrong, and still crucified him, in this world there are always annoying people, you can do things right and right, and yet they will criticize and envy you. There is also another dvd in the temple of Dallas, USA, that some reporters are interviewing him and a reporter began to say that the gurus live full of luxuries, have cars, yachts, etc., and Srila Prabhupada told them that that is why I have sitting on the floor or not on the throne, because I already knew that you are very envious, and everyone even the reporters laughed.

When Krishna Himself came in the form of Sri Gauranga Mahaprabhu, the Mayavadis sannyasis of Varanasi criticized him saying that He is not a sannyasi, He is a sentimental or a magician, the devotees were very distressed to hear these criticisms, and to please His devotees Sri Gauranga made all the arrangements and turned all the Mayavadis sannyasis into His devotees.

Even when Krishna came there was a king named Satrajit, who offended Krishna by saying that He had killed his brother Prasena and that he had taken away the Syamantaka jewel, and Krishna made all arrangements to clarify the situation, and King Satrajit was very ashamed for having offended Krishna and handed him the jewel Syamantaka and his daughter. Krishna says in The Bhagavad gita, 9, 11, that fools despise me when I descend in a human-like manner. They do not know My transcendental nature and My supreme dominion over all that exists.

I share that for years that I am preaching Krishna consciousness on Facebook, I don't know why Facebook blocked my account, now, yesterday, Facebook told me that I had my account locked for 24 hours, also on Facebook there have been people who wanted to establish a material and mundane relationship, so that I have not misunderstood and with much education I have told you that I am not interested in that, I am only interested in a spiritual relationship, this means putting God or Krishna and His representative Srila Prabhupada at the center of our life, the result of this will be that one will experience supreme pleasure, spiritual knowledge and eternity.

The Three Kinds of Happiness

 The Three Kinds of Happiness, by Haripada dasa

This information is in the Nectar of Devotion, chapter 1:

Śrīla Rūpa Gosvāmī has analyzed the different sources of happiness. He has divided happiness into three categories, which are: 1) happiness derived from material enjoyment, 2) happiness derived from identifying with the Supreme Brahman, and 3) happiness derived from Kṛṣṇa consciousness.

In Tantra-śāstra, Lord Śiva speaks to his wife, Satī, in this way: "My dear wife, a person who has surrendered to the lotus feet of Govinda and who has developed pure Kṛṣṇa consciousness, can receive easily all the perfections desired by impersonalists; and beyond this, he can enjoy the happiness attained by pure devotees. "

Happiness derived from pure devotional service is the highest because it is eternal. But the happiness derived from material perfection or from understanding oneself as Brahman is inferior because it is temporary. There is no way to prevent one from falling from material happiness, and there is even every chance of falling from spiritual happiness derived from identifying with impersonal Brahman.

And in the Bhagavad-Gita, 18, 37 to 39 it is said that what at first may be like poison but which in the end is like nectar, and which awakens one in self-realization, is said to be happiness in the plane of the mode of goodness. The happiness that comes from the contact of the senses with their objects, and which at first appears to be nectar but at the end appears to be poison, is said to be of the nature of passion, and happiness that ignores self-realization, that it is a delusion from beginning to end, and that it proceeds from sleep, laziness, and illusion, is said to be of the nature of ignorance.

I am very happy

 I am very happy, for Haripada dasa

Some time ago I prayed to Srila Prabhupada and to God or Krishna to send me mature and pure devotees of Krishna, by the mercy of Srila Prabhupada and Krishna, now I am associating with such devotees, I am very happy, it is not necessary to mention their names because such devotees are very humble and do not like to be glorified.

These pure devotees of Srila Prabhupada obey the order of Srila Prabhupada and initiate in his name, thanks to one of them I have learned of the glories of the perfect devotee of Srila Prabhupada, said devotee named Jayananda Prabhu practiced Krishna consciousness for 10 years 1967- 1977 and sacrificed his life to please Srila Prabhupada, and when he left the body Srila Prabhupada wrote a very nice letter and said that he was now in the spiritual world, in Goloka Vrindavana.

These devotees have a lot of love for Srila Prabhupada, and they want everyone to serve and love Srila Prabhupada. One can see how powerful this chant is.The Maha-Mantra Hare Krishna, Hare Krishna, Krishna Krishna, Hare Hare / Hare Rama, Hare Rama, Rama Rama, Hare Hare (the H is read as J for jota), is said in the Sacred Scriptures that by chanting the word Krishna only once, one can counteract all sinful activities, of course you have to chant on the pure platform, in the chanting of the Hare Krishna Maha-Mantra there are three stages, one is the offensive chant, There are 10 offenses that are made when singing, then there is the clarifying stage, and then pure singing, it is said in El Chaitanya Charitamrita that if one sings with offenses, one can spend millions and millions of lives singing and one will never reach the goal of singing which is to have love for God. That is why there are very demonic people who dress as devotees and pose as devotees, but all they do is deceive and take advantage of innocent people, only a pure devotee can understand another pure devotee.

What I mean by this message is that the most important thing in spiritual life is association with devotees, once a devotee told Srila Prabhupada that Jesus Christ said that I am the way, the truth and the life, and Srila Prabhupada He told him that this is very true, because without the association of a pure devotee, no one can become a pure devotee, I am very happy and happy to see that there are still devotees of Srila Prabhupada who have things very clear and without wanting anything in return They share all their experiences with everyone, I sense that people are already fed up with so many deceptions, that people want to live the truth, the truth will set you free, I remember a program on television and there was a psychologist who said very interesting things , I remember that he said that the result of material and atheistic life, he is a very believing person in God, is that people suffer a lot, and the most important and necessary people for now will be the spiritual advisers, of course this s spiritual advisers will be pure devotees of God and will not cheat people by charging money.

 Best friends, by Haripada dasa

A friend is that person who always wishes us our good, in which one has a relationship based on love and trust, and one knows that there will never be betrayal, our best friends are God or Krishna and His devotees, by the mercy of Srila Prabhupada we understand that God or Krishna in His Paramatma or Supersoul form is in the hearts of all living entities, and He is our best friend because He never leaves us.

By the mercy of Srila Prabhupada we understand and accept that we are all in the material world for having misused our free will, it is very interesting what is said in the book of Krishna in the chapter entitled the prayers of the personified Vedas, there it is said that there cannot be any influence of chance on living entities, they have knowledge and, therefore, they are called chaitanya, which means knowingly, their location in different conditions of life, therefore, it is not accidental, it is due to they have chosen like this, since they have knowledge, in other words, that is, it is we who have turned our backs on God or Krishna and have come to this material world, and God or Krishna is so friendly and merciful to us that he believes the material world for the living entities to play God or Krishna.

 The fall of the soul to the material world was illustrated very well by Jesus in the parable of the prodigal son, the son told his father that I want my part of the inheritance to have a life independent of you, the inheritance was spent pleasing his senses with prostitutes, wine, etc., when he had money he had friends, when he ran out of money he ran out of friends and saw himself eating carob beans with the pigs, there he reflected and realized the big mistake he made, he thought with my father he had his love and I never lacked anything, I had everything, what a big mistake I have made, I am going to ask my father for forgiveness, and when he got to his father he threw himself on the ground crying and asking his father for forgiveness, his father was very happy to see his son again and hugged him, and then made a big festival to welcome his son.

Srila Visvanatha Thakura in his book entitled Madhurya Kadambini illustrates very well the entry of the spirit soul into the spirit world, when the spirit soul comes to the spirit world in the form of a cowherd boy and sees Krishna faint, then Krishna goes there and It says that I know all the sufferings that you have had to undergo to be My devotee in the material world, because I have always been with you, all your friends and family despised you, they all thought you were crazy, and you had to tolerate everything for Me, and I have not done anything as a reward for all your sacrifices, therefore I have become your debtor, then the spirit soul tells Krishna that to satisfy my desire to serve at your lotus feet, you deposited the syllables of Your mantra in my ears, You destroyed my sufferings, You purified me with the process of hearing, chanting and constantly remembering Your qualities and Your name and through association with Your devotees You made me understand how to do e service to you, a person as miserably selfish as I deserves to be punished, but on the contrary, you have made me drink nectar by showing me your own personality.

The bottom line is that our best friends are God or Krishna and His devotees.

Hare Krishna

  Hare Krishna, with love and confidence I share this message that I have sent to the President of Spain.

Hello, thanks for your reply, now I am writing to ask you 2 questions:

1 The entire government has sworn allegiance to the King and the constitution, which will happen if the government makes arrangements for the Catalans and Basques to become independent of Spain, that the entire government will go to jail for treason and make false oaths.

2 They have done many ministries, there is some ministry that helps people free themselves from lust, anger, greed, envy, ignorance and pride, that helps people understand that the goal of human life is knowing God and loving him, that helps people understand the law of Karma, the law of action and reaction, infallible justice, that helps people understand that the cause of climate change is that Nature punishes us because We do not want to obey God's laws, to help people understand that the result of practicing atheism and materialism, is that people live full of anxieties, unbalanced and very disturbed, to help people understand that we are not the temporary material body, but eternal spiritual souls, if people knew those things they would live full of peace and prosperity, and there would be no more gender violence.

Waiting for your reply, attentively, Jose Javier Figuerola Perez.

There are two kinds of gurus

 There are two kinds of gurus, by Haripada dasa

In the book entitled Amrita - vani by Srila Prabhupada Bhaktisiddhanta Saraswati Thakura says that there are two kinds of gurus, one is sent by God or Krishna from the spiritual world and it is for very serious and sincere people in the spiritual life and as God or Krishna knows that there will be many people who will want to be deceived there is another guru who is false or unauthorized, that guru deceives himself and others.

Only the great personality that has been sent by the Lord from the spiritual world to the material world to save the conditioned souls like us, who frees the afflicted people from the three types of anguish and sends them back to God, who is very dear to the Supreme Lord and that you represent, and who is the herald of the transcendental subject, is able to act as our spiritual master, the first step in obtaining perfection is the refuge in a spiritual master, through the Thanks to the Lord, the person receives a spiritual teacher according to his personal requirements. But if we are lucky and sincerely seek a genuine spiritual master, and if we humbly pray to the Lord, you get the grace of such a guru, then, by the grace of God you will get a guru of good faith in this life, then by taking refuge in Him our life will be a success.

I share that last November I made an account on Facebook, it is called Haripada dasa and I put a very nice picture of Srila Prabhupada Bhaktisiddhanta Saraswati Thakura, now I have almost 3000 friends, almost all of India, in the 5 song of Bhagavatam it is said that He who was born in India, is because he has done many pious activities in his past lives, and also Sri Gauranga Mahaprabhu instructed that all who were born in India, must become Krishna conscious and their life will be successful and help others People to do the same.

On Facebook I participate in several Hare Krishna groups and I put my spiritual messages, several people who like my messages tell me that you are my guru, so that there are no misunderstandings I tell you that here the only authorized guru is Srila Prabhupada, and if you want you and I can be friends and spiritual brothers, so I don't fool myself or anyone else.
