DYING TO LIVE

Dying to live, Javier Figuerola or Haripada dasa
Srila Bhaktivinoda Thakura said, "reasons ill who says that pure devotees of God or Krishna die, they die to live and living expand the glories of God throughout the Universe". People who are absorbed in material life, begin to worship the Supreme Lord because of the fear of death. I have practical experience of this, once a friend of mine died suddenly, he was young and his older brother who was very materialistic came to me and told me to teach him to chant Hare Krishna and started me many spiritual questions. People who think that Srila Prabhupada is not a living guru demons are first class.
By the mercy of Srila Prabhupada understand and accept that everything in this material world is born must die, so that what is born and dies is the material body, not the spiritual soul, the spiritual soul is eternal and has neither beginning or end. The pure devotee of God or Krishna experience God through devotional service performed with faith, love, attachment and gratitude and the materialist and atheist experience God at the time of death. To death serves the devotee, in Srimad Bhagavatam in the fourth song in the history of Dhruva Maharaja is said that when he went up to the transcendental plane that would take the spiritual world appeared the personification of death and I take it that for support your foot on the head of death and climb the transcendental plane.
Krishna says in the Bhagavad Gita that I am death, for Krishna devotee is your best friend, so death for the devotee is your best friend.
Share a story I once Hare Krishna devotees were distrubuyendo the books of Srila Prabhupada at the airport in Los Angeles in USA, and devoted a person showed drawings of Srimad Bhagavatam where Yamadutas or lords death takes the soul to be judged by Yamaraja, the man saw this was very frightened and ran, he spent time and the man turned to speak to the devotee and told him that he was about to die and he saw the Yamadutas, and to explain all this, then that person became a devotee of Hare Krishna and had a glorious death chanting Hare Krishna devotees in his deathbed.
Chant the Maha-mantra: Hare Krishna, Hare Krishna, Krishna Krishna, Hare Hare / Hare Rama, Hare Rama, Rama Rama, Hare Hare and be happy.
Srila Prabhupada Serve with love, faith, gratitude and attachment and your life will be successful and sublime.

SRIMAD BHAGAVATAM KI JAYA

By the mercy of Srila Prabhupada understand and acept here what  a devotee’s old age or disease in the present life is but an impetus to such guaranteed eternal life.
SB 2.3.17

āyur harati vai puṁsām
 udyann astaṁ ca yann asau
tasyarte yat-kṣaṇo nīta
 uttama-śloka-vārtayā
Word for word:
āyuḥ — duration of life; harati — decreases; vai — certainly; puṁsām — of the people; udyan — rising; astam — setting; ca — also; yan — moving; asau — the sun; tasya — of one who glorifies the Lord; ṛte — except; yat — by whom; kṣaṇaḥ — time; nītaḥ — utilized; uttama-śloka — the all-good Personality of Godhead; vārtayā — in the topics of.
Translation:
Both by rising and by setting, the sun decreases the duration of life of everyone, except one who utilizes the time by discussing topics of the all-good Personality of Godhead.
Purport:
This verse indirectly confirms the greater importance of utilizing the human form of life to realize our lost relationship with the Supreme Lord by acceleration of devotional service. Time and tide wait for no man. So the time indicated by the sunrise and the sunset will be uselessly wasted if such time is not properly utilized for realizing identification of spiritual values. Even a fraction of the duration of life wasted cannot be compensated by any amount of gold. Human life is simply awarded to a living entity (jīva) so that he can realize his spiritual identity and his permanent source of happiness. A living being, especially the human being, is seeking happiness because happiness is the natural situation of the living entity. But he is vainly seeking happiness in the material atmosphere. A living being is constitutionally a spiritual spark of the complete whole, and his happiness can be perfectly perceived in spiritual activities. The Lord is the complete spirit whole, and His name, form, quality, pastimes, entourage and personality are all identical with Him. Once a person comes into contact with any one of the above-mentioned energies of the Lord through the proper channel of devotional service, the door to perfection is immediately opened. In the Bhagavad-gītā (2.40) the Lord has explained such contact in the following words: “Endeavors in devotional service are never baffled. Nor is there failure. A slight beginning of such activities is sufficient even to deliver a person from the great ocean of material fears.” As a highly potent drug injected intravenously acts at once on the whole body, the transcendental topics of the Lord injected through the ear by the pure devotee of the Lord can act very efficiently. Aural realization of the transcendental messages implies total realization, just as fructification of one part of a tree implies fructification of all other parts. This realization for a moment in the association of pure devotees like Śukadeva Gosvāmī prepares one’s complete life for eternity. And thus the sun fails to rob the pure devotee of his duration of life, inasmuch as he is constantly busy in the devotional service of the Lord, purifying his existence. Death is a symptom of the material infection of the eternal living being; only due to material infection is the eternal living entity subjected to the law of birth, death, old age and disease.

The materialistic way of pious activities like charity is recommended in the smṛti-śāstras as quoted by Śrīla Viśvanātha Cakravartī Ṭhākura. Money given in charity to a suitable person is guaranteed bank balance in the next life. Such charity is recommended to be given to a brāhmaṇa. If the money is given in charity to a non-brāhmaṇa (without brahminical qualification) the money is returned in the next life in the same proportion. If it is given in charity to a half-educated brāhmaṇa, even then the money is returned double. If the money is given in charity to a learned and fully qualified brāhmaṇa, the money is returned a hundred and a thousand times, and if the money is given to a veda-pāraga (one who has factually realized the path of the Vedas), it is returned by unlimited multiplication. The ultimate end of Vedic knowledge is realization of the Personality of Godhead, Lord Kṛṣṇa, as stated in the Bhagavad-gītā (vedaiś ca sarvair aham eva vedyaḥ). There is a guarantee of money’s being returned if given in charity, regardless of the proportion. Similarly, a moment passed in the association of a pure devotee by hearing and chanting the transcendental messages of the Lord is a perfect guarantee for eternal life, for returning home, back to Godhead. Mad-dhāma gatvā punar janma na vidyate. In other words, a devotee of the Lord is guaranteed eternal life. A devotee’s old age or disease in the present life is but an impetus to such guaranteed eternal life.

MERCY

Mercy, by Javier Figuerola or Haripada Dasa
By the mercy of Srila Prabhupada understand and accept what justice means the balance, everyone has what they deserve, the law of karma, and that mercy is much higher than justice concept because mercy means that you are giving something you do not deserve. A merciful person suffers when he sees others suffer and are happy when they see others happy in the consciousness of God or Krishna. Mercy and tolerance are linked, a merciful person is very tolerant, eg Jesus Christ envious people asked many offenses, humiliated, beaten and crucified, had to tolerate the intolerable, yet at the same time Jesus was merciful and prayed to God to forgive their offenders because they knew what they were doing, also the great devotee Srila Haridasa Thakura by chanting Hare Krishna Muslims whipped in twenty markets, and the head of Muslims told the executioners if they killed him not kill all their families, and Srila Haridasa Thakura compassion executioners not to kill their families went into a coma and died, Muslims threw the body of Srila Haridasa Thakura river Ganges, and when touched water rose and went out the other side chanting Hare Krishna, seeing that Muslims realized they had committed a great offense to a holy person were there and threw the lotus feet of Srila Haridasa Thakura to forgive them, here we see a big difference between Jewish and Muslim race until today the Jews have never apologized for all the offenses they did to Jesus Christ, yet Muslims then asked Srila Haridasa Thakura pardon for their offenses.
The materialists and atheists are neither mercy nor tolerant to satisfy your palate sent every day to slaughter millions of innocent animals, and when they are at a traffic light turns green and the car behind him hard, to a man grab the false ego and leaves the car and fix fist.
Once a disciple of Srila Prabhupada told sentimental plan to give him his mercy, Srila Prabhupada told him that I have given 80 books of 400 pages each, if you read my books and practice what you read, the result will be your dormant love for God or Krishna wake up, your human life will be a success and you will live with me, you think this little mercy. The difference between Srila Prabhupada and other gurus is that God or Krishna Srila Prabhupada sent from the spiritual world for a mission on Earth, so called Jagat-guru or śaktyāveśa avatara, the Guru of the universe or the Savior of the world the mission of Srila Prabhupada was giving us his books, he called his spiritual ecstasy meanings, unfortunately many people have used very demonic figure of Srila Prabhupada to meet their personal and selfish interests, and do this or Krishna God is punishing very severely. The transcendental activities of God or Krishna and Srila Prabhupada bring pleasure to the pious devotees, but for the envious and demonic bring pain. Srila Prabhupada always said that preach Krishna consciousness is not easy, because the preacher must always go ahead with the truth and people who have much false ego will feel insulted and sometimes kill preachers.
I share a beautiful verse from Srimad Bhagavatam, 4, 12, 36:
The self-effulgent Vaikuṇṭha planets, by whose illumination alone all the illuminating planets within this material world give off reflected light, cannot be reached by those who are not merciful to other living entities. Only persons who constantly engage in welfare activities for other living entities can reach the Vaikuṇṭha planets.

MY CONCLUSION

My conclusion, by Javier Figuerola or Haripada dasa
My conclusion is that there is new under the sun, all events that happen in the material world are repeated again and again, the only real change is the change within ourselves and in the purification of the soul.
My conclusion is that it is very difficult to find in the material world to a free pure soul of envy and selfishness.
My conclusion is that if you do things well and perfect, there will always be envious and annoying people who find defects and will criticize.
My conclusion is that no one can be happy without being conscious of God or Krishna.
My conclusion is that this was Kali-yuga is the best there was, and that by the simple process of chanting the holy names of God, the Maha-mantra: Hare Krishna, Hare Krishna, Krishna Krishna, Hare Hare / Hare Rama, Hare Rama , Rama Rama, Hare Hare one becomes worthy of going back home back to Godhead. People who have no faith in this are very unfortunate.
My conclusion is that God or Krishna is the light and ignorance is darkness where God is darkness can not be.
My conclusion is that the books of Srila Prabhupada will be the law books for mankind for the next 10,000 years, one who has faith in this is very lucky.
My conclusion is that if you tell the naked truth nobody will thank you.
My conclusion is that the essence of all religions is the same, love God above all things and your neighbor as yourself, since you wake up until you go to bed adores and glorify thy God, thy Lord. The problem is human hypocrisy, people claim to be a religion and put a stamp but we see in practice that do not obey the commandments of the religion.
My conclusion is that the result of Srila Prabhupada serve with faith, love, attachment and gratitude is that God or Krishna is very satisfied and will reveal who is really Srila Prabhupada.
My conclusion is that the most important thing in life is to have your own personality and not be influenced by people full of ignorance.
My conclusion is that the only way to see the things that happen is through Scripture and not through the media.
My conclusion is that the materialists and atheists can not understand how a pure devotee of God is happy wearing a simple living and high thinking.
My conclusion is that people do not understand the simplest things that are full of sinful activities.
My conclusion is that if a person has a bona fide spiritual master, representative of God, lives 24 hours a day speculating.
Chant the Maha-mantra: Hare Krishna, Hare Krishna, Krishna Krishna, Hare Hare / Hare Rama, Hare Rama, Rama Rama, Hare Hare and be happy.
Srila Prabhupada Serve with love, faith, gratitude and attachment and your life will be successful and sublime.

SB, 2, 2, 27

By the mercy of Srila Prabhupada, understand and accept here what all the bona fide ācāryas preach this truth of returning home, back to Godhead, and warn men not to make a false plan for happiness in a place where happiness is only a myth.
SB 2.2.27
na yatra śoko na jarā na mṛtyur
 nārtir na codvega ṛte kutaścit
yac cit tato ’daḥ kṛpayānidaṁ-vidāṁ
 duranta-duḥkha-prabhavānudarśanāt
Word for word:
na — never; yatra — there are; śokaḥ — bereavement; na — nor; jarā — old age; na — nor; mṛtyuḥ — death; na — nor; artiḥ — pains; na — nor; ca — also; udvegaḥ — anxieties; ṛte — save and except; kutaścit — sometimes; yat — because of; cit — consciousness; tataḥ — therefore; adaḥ — compassion; kṛpayā — out of heartfelt sympathy; an-idam-vidām — of those who are ignorant of the process of devotional service; duranta — unsurpassable; duḥkha — misery; prabhava — repeated birth and death; anudarśanāt — by successive experience.
Translation:
In that planet of Satyaloka, there is neither bereavement, nor old age nor death. There is no pain of any kind, and therefore there are no anxieties, save that sometimes, due to consciousness, there is a feeling of compassion for those unaware of the process of devotional service, who are subjected to unsurpassable miseries in the material world.
Purport:
Foolish men of materialistic temperament do not take advantage of successive authorized knowledge. The Vedic knowledge is authorized and is acquired not by experiment but by authentic statements of the Vedic literatures explained by bona fide authorities. Simply by becoming an academic scholar one cannot understand the Vedic statements; one has to approach the real authority who has received the Vedic knowledge by disciplic succession, as clearly explained in the Bhagavad-gītā (4.2). Lord Kṛṣṇa affirmed that the system of knowledge as explained in the Bhagavad-gītā was explained to the sun-god, and the knowledge descended by disciplic succession from the sun-god to his son Manu, and from Manu to King Ikṣvāku (the forefather of Lord Rāmacandra), and thus the system of knowledge was explained down the line of great sages, one after another. But in due course of time the authorized succession was broken, and therefore, just to reestablish the true spirit of the knowledge, the Lord again explained the same knowledge to Arjuna, who was a bona fide candidate for understanding due to his being a pure devotee of the Lord. Bhagavad-gītā, as it was understood by Arjuna, is also explained (Bg. 10.12-13), but there are many foolish men who do not follow in the footsteps of Arjuna in understanding the spirit of Bhagavad-gītā. They create instead their own interpretations, which are as foolish as they themselves, and thereby only help to put a stumbling block on the path of real understanding, misdirecting the innocent followers who are less intelligent, or the śūdras. It is said that one should become a brāhmaṇa before one can understand the Vedic statements, and this stricture is as important as the stricture that no one shall become a lawyer who has not qualified himself as a graduate. Such a stricture is not an impediment in the path of progress for anyone and everyone, but it is necessary for an unqualified understanding of a particular science. Vedic knowledge is misinterpreted by those who are not qualified brāhmaṇas. A qualified brāhmaṇa is one who has undergone strict training under the guidance of a bona fide spiritual master.

The Vedic wisdom guides us to understanding our relation with the Supreme Lord Śrī Kṛṣṇa and to acting accordingly in order to achieve the desired result of returning home, back to Godhead. But materialistic men do not understand this. They want to make a plan to become happy in a place where there is no happiness. For false happiness they try to reach other planets, either by Vedic rituals or by spacecraft, but they should know for certain that any amount of materialistic adjustment for becoming happy in a place which is meant for distress cannot benefit the misguided man because, after all, the whole universe with all its paraphernalia will come to an end after a certain period. Then all plans of materialistic happiness will automatically come to an end. The intelligent person therefore makes a plan to return home, back to Godhead. Such an intelligent person surpasses all the pangs of material existence, like birth, death, disease and old age. He is actually happy because he has no anxieties of material existence, but as a compassionate sympathizer he feels unhappiness for the suffering materialistic men, and thus he occasionally comes before the materialistic men to teach them the necessity of going back to Godhead. All the bona fide ācāryas preach this truth of returning home, back to Godhead, and warn men not to make a false plan for happiness in a place where happiness is only a myth.

THE FIVE CONTAMINATIONS

The five defilements, by Javier Figuerola or Haripada dasa
No one can practice genuine spiritual life and see or experience God or Krishna if not free from envy, fear, fanaticism, prejudice and doubt. I will try to explain these five contamination and how to get rid of them.
Envy, God or Krishna says in the Bhagavad Gita, 7.27 that all persons born in illusion, subjugated by the illusory duality of desire and hate, and Srila Prabhupada says in meaning because of the desire and hatred, the ignorant person wants to become one with God or Krishna and envy Krishna as the Supreme Personality of Godhead. How is freedom from envy? glorifying God or Krishna 24 hours a day.
The fear, the meaning of the Bhagavad Gita, 10, 4-5, by the mercy of Srila Prabhupada understand and accept that fear is due to the concern for the future. A person in Krishna consciousness of God or no fear because by virtue of its activities, you are sure to return to the spiritual sky, back home, back to Godhead. Therefore, his future is very bright. Others, however, are unaware of what their future holds for them, not aware of what lies next life. So, live in constant anxiety. If you want to get rid of anxiety, then the best method is to understand God or Krishna and love him and always put ourselves in Krishna consciousness. That way, we will free from fear.
Fanaticism, Srila Prabhupada always said that religion without philosophy is sentiment or fanaticism, also Jesus said that to build a house with stone bases nobody can break down, but build a house with a foundation of sand, the first ventorral will take the house, when faith in God or Krishna a person is based on a genuine philosophy and personal experience, no one influence, but if faith is based on sentimentality or fanaticism, sooner or later that faith disappears. The solution is to apply the essence of all religions, since you get up until you go to bed always glorifies God your Lord.
Prejudice, remember a video that Srila Prabhupada was explaining the philosophy of Krishna consciousness to a gentleman from Australia, Srila Prabhupada to see that this person does not accept anything told that unless you are prejudiced, and the man was honest and told Srila Prabhupada that of course I'm prejudiced. A prejudiced person does not trust anyone, not herself. The solution to this is that we have to go through life with an open heart and have full faith that God or Krishna and Lord Nrisimhadeva protejerán us.
The cause of the doubts is the lack of faith that big reason was the great spiritual master Jesus Christ to say that faith moves mountains, doubts are like demons that attack us, God or Krishna is so expert in killing demons, no one can be happy if you live with doubt, the solution is to take full shelter at the lotus feet of Sri Guru and Sri Gauranga and doubts disappear. Srila Prabhupada also told us that reading my books doubts disappear.
The other day I was talking to a friend and told him that in 1984 dropped everything to know God and love Him, I have been to India many times performing devotional service in the Foor for Life Vrindavan distributing prasadam or food offered to God, I've been in 16 Latin countries preaching God consciousness or Krishna and collecting donations for the program in India, God or Krishna distributed through my quarter of a million books of Srila Prabhupada, I will talk face to face with 4000000 people, this has helped me to see the suffering of people and have done what my grandmother always told me that each person is different, by the mercy of Srila Prabhupada chanting 16 rounds each day maha-mantra Hare Krishna or 27,648 names of God and follow the four regulative principles, do not eat meat, fish or eggs, no gambling, no illicit sex, no intoxication, no tea, no coffee, no wine etc, my God realization is that I always felt his help and His presence in my life, now I am sharing my personal experiences with many people and am trying to build relationships with some people based on spiritual love and trust, spiritual love means that at the center of our life is God and trust means no betrayal, I try to always be happy in God consciousness or Krishna, try to see the good in people and I'm always full of positive energy and am always thanking God for all he gives me. The most important thing in life is to lead your personal example and always will be envious and annoying people, that can not be avoided, a person who has not been delivered to the lotus feet of a bona fide spiritual master, representative of the Supreme Personality of God lives in the darkest ignorance and speculating live 24 hours a day, evil is the absence of good, darkness is the absence of light, fear is the absence of love.
Chant the Maha-mantra: Hare Krishna, Hare Krishna, Krishna Krishna, Hare Hare / Hare Rama, Hare Rama, Rama Rama, Hare Hare and be happy.
Srila Prabhupada Serve with love, faith, gratitude and attachment and your life will be successful and sublime.

VAISNAVA APARADHA

Śrīla Prabhupāda Says - [Regarding how one must be very careful not to offend a pure Vaiṣṇava devotee - however one must also distinguish between a neophyte and a pure devotee]

When one thus criticizes a pure devotee, he commits an offense (vaiṣṇava-aparādha) that is very obstructive and dangerous for those who desire to advance in Kṛṣṇa consciousness. A person cannot derive any spiritual benefit when he offends the lotus feet of a Vaiṣṇava.

Everyone should therefore be very careful not to be jealous of an empowered Vaiṣṇava, or a śuddha-vaiṣṇava. It is also an offense to consider an empowered Vaiṣṇava an object of disciplinary action. It is offensive to try to give him advice or to correct him.

One can distinguish between a neophyte Vaiṣṇava and an advanced Vaiṣṇava by their activities. The advanced Vaiṣṇava is always situated as the spiritual master, and the neophyte is always considered his disciple. The spiritual master must not be subjected to the advice of a disciple, nor should a spiritual master be obliged to take instructions from those who are not his disciples. This is the sum and substance of Śrīla Rūpa Gosvāmī's advice in the sixth verse.

[Book: Nectar of Instruction]

REAL EDUCATION

Śrīla Prabhupāda Says - [Regarding what is real knowledge/education]

The spirit soul transmigrates even in the duration of one life as the body changes. When the body is first manifest in the womb of the mother, it is very small, just like a pea, and it gradually develops nine holes—two eyes, two ears, two nostrils, one mouth, one genital, and one rectum. In this way the body develops, and as long as it needs to develop within the mother's womb, it remains there. When it is sufficiently developed to go outside, it comes out and grows. Growth entails changing of the body. This change cannot be understood because it is imperceivable to the living entity. In childhood we had small bodies which now no longer exist; therefore it can be said that we have changed our bodies. Similarly, because of the nature of material things, we have to change this body when it ceases to work. Every material thing deteriorates, and like a broken machine or an old piece of cloth the body becomes useless after a certain length of time.

Although this process of growth is always taking place, the educational system in modern universities, though considered advanced, unfortunately does not deal with this. Actually there is no education without spiritual knowledge. One can learn to earn bread, eat, sleep and mate without a formal education. Animals are not educated—they are not technicians, and they have no university degrees—but they are also eating, sleeping, mating and defending. If the educational system simply teaches these processes, it does not deserve the name of education. Real education enables us to understand what we are. As long as man does not develop his consciousness by understanding the truth of the self, all of his actions will be performed in the mode of ignorance. A human life is meant for victory over the laws of material nature. Actually, we are all trying to attain that victory in order to counteract the onslaught of material nature. The ultimate victory is to conquer birth, death, disease and old age, but we have neglected this important point.

[Book: The Matchless Gift]

SRI GURU TATTVA KI JAYA

Śrīla Prabhupāda Says - [Regarding how even a bona-fide Guru cannot change any word of the predecessor Guru]

So this kind of guru, this kind of rascal, will not help you. Guru must come from the paramparā system by disciplic succession. Five thousand years or five millions of years, what was spoken by the supreme God or guru, the present guru also will say the same thing. That is guru. That is bona fide guru. Otherwise, he's not guru. Simple definition.

Guru cannot change any word of the predecessor.

There is one instance in Caitanya Mahāprabhu's life. One gentleman, (he) is Vallabha Ācārya. He was very much devotee of Caitanya Mahāprabhu. He wrote one comment on Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam, Subodhinī-ṭīkā, it is called. That is recognized, nice ṭīkā, comment. But he approached Caitanya Mahāprabhu. He was very great devotee of Caitanya Mahāprabhu. So he simply said that "Caitanya Mahāprabhu, Lord Caitanya, if You hear my comment on the Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam, You'll find it is far better than Śrīdhara Svāmī's."

Śrīdhara Svāmī is the very old commentator. So Caitanya Mahāprabhu immediately rejected: "Oh, you are claiming that you have written something better than Śrīdhara Svāmī?" He chastised him. Svāmī means another... He sarcastically remarked, the word svāmī, Śrīdhara Swami, svāmī, another svāmī means "husband." So He said, svāmī jīva nāhi mane besa bali guṇī(?): "I think one who does not recognize svāmī, he's a prostitute." He immediately said. "You do not recognize Śrīdhara Svāmī, then you are a prostitute. How can I hear from a prostitute?" He refused.

Only word, that "I have written better than Svāmī." So this is the process of guru. You cannot disobey the previous ācārya or guru. No. You have to repeat the same thing. Not research. Sometimes rascals come, that "You are speaking the same thing. Why don't you speak something new by research work?" We say that we have no intelligence, we cannot make any research. We are... Guru more mūrkha dekhi koriyā vicāra [Cc. Adi 7.71].

Caitanya Mahāprabhu said that "My Guru Mahārāja saw Me a great fool number one." So one who remains a great fool number one before his guru, he is guru. And one who says that "I'm advanced so much that I can speak better than my guru," then he's rascal. This is the process.

[Lecture: What is Guru? - London 22 Aug 1973]

Happy and free

Happy and free, Javier Figuerola or Haripada Dasa
According to the Nectar of Devotion there are three kinds of happiness, one is sense gratification, that happiness also experienced by dogs and pigs, the other is the experience that I am not matter but spirit soul and the goal of the life is merging into the Brahman Impersonal or light rays of the transcendental body of God or Krishna, and the third and this kind of happiness is eternal, is the happiness of loving relationship with God or Krishna. God or Krishna has unlimited names and chant the holy names one lives with God or Krishna and experience this happiness.
Srila Prabhupada wanted his disciples to be people with an independent intelligence, that means you get used to depend on God or Krishna, there is true freedom. It does not matter if a person is married or is in the order renounced, or if you work in a factory, etc, freedom of the soul is something internal, the soul is free when it is pure, if not already done sinful activities, nobody can understand himself or God or Krishna if performed sinful activities. To illustrate this point Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Saraswati Thakura Prabhupada put this example, once in Bengal was a wedding and as it was far seized and were guests on a boat on the Ganges, overnight paddling and when it dawned saw that they were in the same place and the boatman realized that he did not raise the anchor, a person can perform devotional activities but does not leave sinful activities not advance anything. Srila Prabhupada always said that very few people want to be happy and free, most people like to fool them and suffer. Sometimes materialistic people do not understand the position of the devotees of God, can not understand that the devotees of God without anxiety live, and critics say they are parasites who do nothing nor family, nor the nation, nor for humanity, these criticisms are full of pure envy. In my personal life when I see someone wants me to control immediately cut the relationship with that person.
OM TAT SAT PEACE AND WELL
Thoughts to ponder:
"Among deceivers and deceived there can be honest and spiritual relationships."
"The fake or unauthorized gurus are cosmic clowns".
"The illusion, deception, pretense, ignorance, deviation and the fact of committing offenses are different aspects of pride."
Chant the Maha-mantra: Hare Krishna, Hare Krishna, Krishna Krishna, Hare Hare / Hare Rama, Hare Rama, Rama Rama, Hare Hare and be happy.
Srila Prabhupada Serve with love, faith, gratitude and attachment and your life will be successful and sublime.

KUNTI AND ARJUNA

Kunti and Arjuna by Javier Figuerola or Haripada dasa


"In answer to your second question, you should know that Kunti Devi Arjuna and Krishna Loka are not. They are eternally associated with Krishna only in the material world. Exactly Krishna and is always in the spirit world and likewise He is always in the material world, and hobbies are also produced here in the material world, Krishna is also eternal associates as Arjuna and Kunti Devi, a difference between the body and soul of Arjuna and Kunti Devi. But while Arjuna is with Krishna in innumerable universes materials while still only one spirit soul is Arjuna. This spiritual soul expands in many different organs and therefore can understand that there are incarnations of the devotees and incarnations of Krishna. This is the spiritual power of the soul which is unlimited. Such a concept can not be understood when one is still in the conditioned state ".
Saradiya Letter December 12, 1968 Vol. 2 Pag.1261
This letter from Srila Prabhupada explains many things in the Gita 4.42 is said that a bona fide spiritual master is in the disciplic succession from time eternal, there's the answer that letter from Srila Prabhupada, I asked that question a lot of devotees and no knew the answer. That's it, the people that make up our guru-parampara are special souls that were never conditioned, but sends Krishna from the spirit world, they are all nitya siddhas, while in the material world are preaching Krishna consciousness in their bodies spiritual are in the spirit world. Once a devotee told me that Srila Prabhupada in a dream told him he was traveling by planets preaching Krishna consciousness, and when a planet devotees are very close, Krishna consciousness expands rapidly, but on this planet Earth, not only the devotees are not together, but when someone stands for purity and devotion, instead of rejoicing envy him, so it takes longer to spread Krishna consciousness.

In the book, Amrita - vani of Srila Prabhupada Bhaktisiddhanta Saraswati Thakura says: "Only the great personality who has been sent by the Lord from the spiritual world to the material world to save the conditioned souls like us, that frees people afflicted by the three types of anguish and sends them back to God, who is very dear to the Supreme Lord and you represent, and that is the herald of the transcendental subject, is capable of acting as our spiritual master, the first step in the obtaining perfection is the shelter of a spiritual master, by the grace of God, the person receives a spiritual teacher according to your personal requirements. But if we are lucky and we sincerely seek a spiritual master, and if we pray humbly the Lord's grace that guru is obtained, then by the grace of God there will come a bona fide guru in this life, then taking refuge in Him our life will be successful. This is stated in the CC Madhya (19-151, 22-47) in the Adi (1-44, 1-45, 1-47, 1-58). There are two kinds of gurus, one sends God or Krishna from the spiritual world and is for very serious and sincere people in the spiritual life as God or Krishna knows there will be many people who will want to be deceived no other guru is false or unauthorized , that guru is deluding himself and others. "
Chant the Maha-mantra: Hare Krishna, Hare Krishna, Krishna Krishna, Hare Hare / Hare Rama, Hare Rama, Rama Rama, Hare Hare and be happy.

SRI KRISHNA PUSYA ABHISEKA KI JAYA

Krsna Pusya abhiseka

During the morning puja, or worship, the Deity or a salagrama is bathed in pure ghee. Srila Prabhupada once explained the festival this way: "Krishna was just a toy in the hands of the Gopis, so one day the Gopis decided that we shall decorate Him. Pusya abhisheka means a ceremony to decorate the deity profusely with flowers, ornaments, cloths. After there should be lavish feasting and a procession through the streets, so that all the citizens should see how beautiful Krishna appears.
