LOVE IS BLIND

Love is blind, by Javier Figuerola or Haripada Dasa
The result of practicing genuine spiritual life is that the person or soul is purified and in a natural way awakens the qualities of the soul that were previously covered by the dust of materialism. The 26 qualities of a pure devotee of God are:
1) He is always kind to all, 2) He does not seek quarrels or fights, 3) His interest is in the essence of life, which is spiritual, 4) He is equal with all, 5) No one can find fault In him, 6) His mind is magnanimous, 7) His mind is always pure, 8) His mind is always clear, 9) His mind is always devoid of material obsessions, 10) He is a benefactor to all living entities, 11 ) He is peaceful, 12) He is always devoted to God, 13) He has no material desires, 14) He is very humble, 15) He is always fixed in his purpose, 16) He has triumphed over the six material qualities (Lust, anger, greed, envy, pride and ignorance), 17) He does not eat more than he needs, 18) He is always prudent, 19) He is always respectful to others, 20 ) He does not demand respect for himself, 21) He is gracious, 22) He is merciful, 23) He is friendly, 24) He is poetic, 25) He is expert and 26) He is silent.
If you love someone, you will never find fault with it, love is blind. Srila Prabhupada used to say, "I follow my Guru Maharaja blindly." One of the 26 qualities of the pure devotee of God or Krishna is that no one can find fault with it. Of course if someone finds defects in a pure devotee of God or Krishna, surely it will be out of envy towards him. A serious and sincere follower of Srila Prabhupada is one who repeats what Srila Prabhupada says in his books, and carries or demonstrates correct behavior, in other words he is not a hypocrite but practices what he preaches.

THE MOST INTELLIGENT PEOPLE

The most intelligent people, by Javier Figuerola or Haripada dasa
At the end of Srimad Bhagavatam it is said that this era of kali, the age of hypocrisy, quarrels, sinful activities, arguments, where you will see defects and errors, 80 percent of the population are bad people, people They live full of doubts, anxieties, fears, fanaticisms, envy and selfishness, and the most intelligent people of this age will be those who will always be chanting Hare Krishna, Hare Krishna, Hare Hare / Hare Rama , Rama Rama, Hare Hare, the meaning of this Maha - Mantra is very simple, the word Hare is the way to address the energy of God or Krishna, and the words Krishna and Rama Are ways of addressing the Lord in Person, both Krishna and Rama signify the Supreme Pleasure, chanting is a spiritual call to the Lord and His inner energy, Hare, to protect the conditioned soul, in other words, it is a prayer to God or Krishna and His energy asking them to engage us in His service. In this song there are three stages, the offensive stage, there are ten offenses against the Holy Name, the stage in which offenses are purified and the pure stage.
In a magazine of the Hare Krishna Movement the devotees put a caricature or joke, there was a lady sitting in front of her husband, and the lady said to her husband Hare Krishna sings and be happy, and the husband answered, I can not, no I can, I can not ... Srila Prabhupada always said that people are very unfortunate, they could sing Hare Krishna and obey the laws of God, but they do not want to, they like to suffer and be deceived.

"My friend, those who do good will never be overcome by evil."

THE MOST BENEFICIAL

The most beneficial, by Javier Figuerola or Haripada dasa
By the mercy of Srila Prabhupada we understand and accept that there is nothing more beneficial as associating with the pure devotees of God or Krishna, association with the pure devotees of God or Krishna is more valuable than all the riches of the Universe and more valuable than going To the heavenly planets, a moment of association with the pure devotees of God or Krishna can liberate you from birth, death, old age and disease and go back home to God or Krishna. If the association with the pure devotees of God or Krishna is so valuable because people do not associate with them, the answer is that the generality of the people, or heads of families, think that their primary duty is to give in to solving family problems , And that self-realization or enlightenment in spiritual knowledge is a secondary matter, and it is also that such people are very poor in heart so they do not associate with the pure devotees of God or Krishna. I remember a class from Srila Prabhupada who said that people think that as long as I'm going to be listening to a Bhagavad Gita or Bhagavatam class, that time is best used to be in the office or at work and earn money. It is a very practical fact that one's desires and ambitions develop according to the company one has. If one maintains association with the devotees of God or Krishna, he will surely develop love for God or Krishna.
I share this beautiful verse Srimad-Bhagavatam (3-25-25) which says: "Talks about the pastimes and activities of the Supreme Personality of Godhead in the company of pure devotees are very pleasing and satisfying to the ear and the heart. The one who cultivates this knowledge gradually advances along the path of liberation until it is liberated and its attraction is fixed. Then true devotion and true devotional service begin. "
Evil people who think that great Masters like Srila Prabhupada and others die, they live eternally in their instructions and those who obey them live with them.

INTRODUCTION TO SRILA PRABHUPADA

Introduction to Srila Prabhupada, by Javier Figuerola or Haripada dasa
In 1922 in Calcutta, India, the spiritual teacher of Srila Prabhupada named Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Saraswati Prabhupada told him that you are a very educated person and you know very well English, it would be good if you were to the western countries to preach the conscience of God or Krishna, and then in 1935 told him that if you have money print spiritual books. In order to fulfill the orders given to him by his Gurudeva, Srila Prabhupada left India on a boat in 1965 when he was 69 years old. Srila Prabhupada's dynamic presentation of the Consciousness of God or Krishna, as a positive alternative to a society lacking in spiritual values, especially attracted intelligent Western youth. Many of these intellectuals sought the true meaning of life, being sick of hedonistic materialism, nihilistic atheism, and hypocritical and sentimental religions. He began to sing the Maha-mantra: Hare Krishna, Hare Krishna, Krishna Krishna, Hare Hare / Hare Rama, Hare Rama, Rama Rama, Hare Hare in a park in New York and there began his movement, many young people approached him To receive spiritual training. Many people abandoned illicit sex, gambling, drugs and consumption of meat, fish and eggs and sang 27,648 names of God each day in their rosaries. These people felt so much spiritual happiness that in a natural way they wanted to help Srila Prabhupada spread his movement so that everyone would be happy. Srila Prabhupada initiated 10,000 disciples around the world, struck him around the world 14 times, wrote 80 books of 400 pages each, answered more than 7,000 letters and gave thousands and thousands of lectures, opened more than a hundred temples throughout the world World and many agricultural communities and in 1972 founded the program of Food for live or food for life, and ordered that in 15 kilometers around their temples no one should go hungry, millions and millions of prasada dishes have been distributed, or Food offered to God or Krishna. He slept every day for 3 hours from 10 p.m. to 1 p.m., there he got up to translate the great classics of India as Srimad Bhagavatam and Sri Caitanya Charitamrita, his disciples and admirers have distributed more than 500 million His books in all the languages ​​of the world. Srila Prabhupada is Acharya that means one who preaches with his personal example. Unfortunately a few days before entering his samadhi lila he said that he was poisoned, and after disincarnating his disciples taken by their personal interests changed their instructions, these people received much mercy from Srila Prabhupada and still betrayed him. Many people like me and others who were in their movement, we left to be complicit in all the offenses they are doing to Srila Prabhupada, the result of offending Srila Prabhupada is that people become atheists and live in unconsciousness, There is nothing new under the sun and history repeats itself over and over again, the person authorized by God or Krishna comes and establishes the principles of religion, but when it goes away again the disorder. To people who have sacrificed their lives to please Srila Prabhupada, God or Krishna reveals to them who Srila Prabhupada really is. Evil people who think that great Masters like Srila Prabhupada and others die, they live eternally in their instructions and those who obey them live with them.

SELFISHNESS AND ENVY

Selfishness and envy, by Javier Figuerola or Haripada dasa
It is very difficult to find in this material world a person who is free of selfishness and envy, people think of their ignorance that I will free myself from selfishness and envy taking pills, or doing some gymnastic exercises, or doing meditation and falling asleep, It is not so easy to get rid of selfishness and envy. God or Krishna moved by His mercy comes personally to this world to invite us to return home back to God, and leaves us Holy Scriptures such as The Bhagavad Gita or Song of God and Srimad Bhagavatam, or send from the Spiritual world to their most intimate servants such as Jesus Christ, Mohammed, Budha, Srila Prabhupada, etc., these great spiritual personalities do not invent any philosophy but always repeat the same philosophy, that God is the Supreme Person, the Absolute Truth, that religion Means that from the time you rise up until you lie down, you glorify God your Lord, that we are not the temporal material body but eternal spiritual souls, loving servants of God or Krishna and His devotees, that this material world is a prison we come here To pay condemnation, that we are here because we have misused our free will, and if you want a guest to leave do not feed him, so our guests such as lust, anger, greed, ignorance, envy and Selfishness will go away when we do not feed them. The process of the consciousness of God or Krishna works by contact, an iron rod has no value but if you put it on fire then it acts like fire, burns, so do we when we connect with God or Krishna through singing The Maha- Hare Krishna, Hare Krishna, Hare Hare / Hare Rama, Hare Rama, Rama Rama, Hare Hare, and when we connect with the representatives of God or Krishna obeying His instructions we acquire His qualities.
Srila Prabhupada always said that people can not understand or accept the simpler truths of life because they are full of sinful activities, it is said in the Spiritual Scriptures of India that people are so sinful in this age that they will not see the Human form of life in millions and millions of births. People do not understand how valuable this human form of life is, the purpose of life is to understand and love God or Krishna, and since there is only God or Krishna and His energies you will naturally love everything and everyone.

SRI VRINDAVANA DHAMA KI JAYA

Srila Prabodhananda Saraswati
Vṛndāvana-mahimāmṛtam (6.1)

Sarvān eva sadā stuvaṁs tata itaḥ sarvān sadā prīṇayan
Sarveṁāṁ sukha-sampadaḥ svabhilaṣan sarvātma-bhāvaṁ bhajan
Sarvāgre vinayātibhāva-namita-grīvo nirastākhilā-pekṣas
  Tu svayam āvasāmy aham idaṛ vṛndāvanaṁ pāvanam

Always glorifying everyone. Always being nice to everyone. Always eagerly longing for the happiness and prosperity of all. Always serving everyone as if they were my own self. Always bowing to everyone with extreme humility - [someday] - I will personally reside in this very purifying abode of Vrindavan, free from all selfish desires and expectations.

WE ARE ALL DEVOTEES

We are all devotees, by Javier Figuerola the Haripada dasa
Srila Prabhupada always said that we should always be ready to offer respect to all, because every living entity is originally a devotee of God or Krishna, but circumstantially the soul being covered by ignorance, is acting like a demon, in this world there are the Divine and demonic people, the divine ones obey the laws of God or Krishna and the demonic ones do not, but the original nature of all is to be a devotee of God or Krishna. The first thing to do in devotional life is to purify designations, designations means things that we are not but we believe we are, for example people in general think that I am the body, and therefore I am Spanish, American, Hindu, etc., I am the master of everything, my house and my family belong to me, I am the enjoyer, the controller of everything, this woman is my wife, here is my son, here my brother, etc., all that Are designations, the result of living with designations is that the person lives full of fears, envy, ignorance and very conditioned, a soul free of designations believes and experiences that I am not the body, but an eternal spiritual soul, loving servant of God Or Krishna and His devotees, my relatives are also children of God or Krishna, my house and everything I own is from God or Krishna and I use everything for the service of God or Krishna, the result of having that God consciousness or Krishna, is that the person lives happy and free.
In devotional life there are three kinds of devotees of God or Krishna, the neophyte, the intermediate stage and the perfect devotee. First, one must understand what faith is, faith means to have complete conviction that in chanting Hare Krishna, Hare Krishna, Krishna Krishna, Hare Hare / Hare Rama, Hare Rama, Rama Rama, Hare Hare. Reads like J de jouta) will automatically fulfill all duties and complete all pious activities. The neophyte devotee exhibits a faith that is formal, even worldly, worshiping the Deity but has not developed an interest in serving the representative of God or Krishna, the authorized spiritual master, the middle-stage devotee develops loving affection for God or Krishna , Makes friends with other devotees, has compassion for innocent people, an innocent person is one who believes in God or Krishna, but is not advanced in spiritual life, and evades the company of atheists, and the perfect devotee is one who See God or Krishna everywhere, and God or Krishna is his life and soul, his life revolves around 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 de jota), for him, the Holy Name of God or Krishna is the essence of everything.

INSPECT RELIGIOUS AND POLITICAL

Inspect Religious and Political, by Javier Figuerola or Haripada dasa
This message has been sent to the media, the Ministry of Justice, some religious and the politicians of Spain.
Hi Rajoy, I am writing to present you two proposals, and I would very much like you to tell me your opinion on all this.
Spain is a secular country, that means that there is freedom of religion, and that the Government does not identify with any religion, I propose that the Government through the Ministry of Justice inspect if the religious are following the commandments of their religions or if they are Deceiving the people in the name of their religion. I will put two examples, in the Christian religion the Lord Jesus Christ ordered not kill, but we see in practice that Christians have the best slaughterers, that is to deceive people and that should be a crime. The other example is that the Founder of the Hare Krishnas before disembodying ordered his disciples to initiate in his name, his disciples carried away by his personal interests did not obey this command and became gurus to control and exploit his disciples, and that too Be a crime. In other words, I propose that the government inspect religions and see if they are following their commandments or if they are deceiving people.
The other proposal is almost the same but this is for politicians, each political party presents some programs for people to vote, I propose that the Government through the Ministry of Justice will inspect if the party is fulfilling what it presented, given that Not meeting that would be considered a crime. And if the President of the Government swears that he will comply with the Constitution but will also be considered a crime, for example if the Constitution says that every Spaniard must have a job and house and does not comply with that is a crime.
Inspecting religious and politicians would end with hypocrisy and deception, if religious and politicians are given free rein can create havoc and much suffering in society.
Thought to meditate:
"If religious, politicians and bankers are good people will do much good to humanity, but if they are selfish and envious people, will cause much suffering in society."

GIFTS OF GOD OR KRISHNA

Gifts of God or Krishna, by Javier Figuerola
By the mercy of Srila Prabhupada we understand and accept that we are here in the material world, the guilty world and envy because we used bad free will, we were with God or Krishna in the spiritual world and we wanted to come here to exploit and enjoy matter, fijaros full of pure goodness that is God or Krishna that we are not able to create the environment to exploit and enjoy the matter, but God or Krishna which creates it. So all there is here in the material world are gifts of God or Krishna, water, earth, fire, air, ether, mind, intelligence and false ego, all these elements are created by God or Krishna, and when we use the gifts God or Krishna gives us to please our senses we engage more and more in the law of karma, but when we use God or Krishna gifts to serve God or Krishna we become in free people, happy, honored and satisfied.
Srila Prabhupada says in his book that the Communists used psychological techniques to remove faith in God or Krishna in people, went to a village and they told people to go to church to pray to God or Krishna for our daily bread each day, then when people left the Church asked whether God or Krishna had given them bread, and they said no, then the Communists brought their truckloads of bread and gave to the people, then they asked him to people who is better God or Krishna or the Communists, and people said the Communists are better, if there had been a wise, brave and intelligent person would have told them the communists, you have created the rain that has grown wheat , you have created wheat, you have created the fire to bake bread, all the ingredients to make bread has created God or Krishna, you all you have done is rob God or Krishna, that's the truth.
Thought to ponder:
"The only way not to commit sinful activities is always to devotional activities".

SPIRITUAL VISION

Spiritual vision, Javier Figuerola or Haripada dasa
Srila Prabhupada always said that in the world there is everything, no intelligence, no money, have beauty, there are natural resources, etc., all that there is spiritual vision or God consciousness or Krishna, and the result of this crisis God consciousness or Krishna is that people are very happy that people suffer and suffer much when they see God or Krishna devotees happy and free. Srila Prabhupada always said that no one can be a devotee of God or Krishna if not practice non-violence and morality. Material vision is terrible, with that vision politicians to satisfy their personal interests sent to war innocent people as cannon fodder, they do not see people as part and parcel of God or Krishna, as something divine, but try people like her were machines such as washing machines or computers. Material vision full of ignorance and envy makes people live in the bodily concept of life, so they think I am Spanish, the other is Catalan and fight against each other, with the deceptive religion is the same, I am a Catholic , you are Protestant, we will fight.
spiritual vision means that nothing is ours, everything is God or Krishna as He has created everything, and when one uses all the service of God or Krishna a pure person, honest and wise becomes happy. If I had spiritual vision would not have borders, because there would be an understanding that everything is God or Krishna and we are all His children will share with love and trust all that God has given us or Krishna. If I had spiritual vision there would be no copyright, because everyone would understand that the song, or book or whatever I have done is pure mercy of God or Krishna. If I had spiritual vision everyone would understand that the laws made by men are imperfect and the laws of God or Krishna are perfect, in the laws of men if a person kills another is punished, but if you kill a fly or a ant not, but the laws of God or Krishna say that if you kill a man punished but if you kill a fly or an ant you will also be punished. The law of karma is infallible.
Thought to ponder:
"Spiritual Vision means seeing everything through Scripture, there is happiness and satisfaction material vision means seeing everything through your mental speculation, there is suffering, frustration and defeat.

BAHULASTAMI - SRI RADHA KUNDA KI JAYA

Bahulastami - Appearance of Radha Kunda
The anniversary of the appearance of Radha-kunda and Syama-kunda lakes where Srimati Radharani and Sri Krishna bathed in Govardhana Hill, Vrindavan.
On the eighth day of the Damodara phase marks the appearance day of Radha Kunda.
Bathe in Radha Kunda is especially beneficial on this day. This Radha's favor, by which one's favor Krishna win win. Radha Kunda appeared at midnight.
People go to Radha Kunda and offers prasadam, garlands and pumpkins in the water, then at midnight bath in Radha Kunda take and then bathe in Syama Kunda. Many people like bathing in a Ghat where the shakti of Nityananda, Jahnava Mata used to bathe.
Origin of Radha Kunda
After killing a demon in the form of bull named Aristasura, Krishna went to Radharani. However, she rebuked him, saying that he was unclean for committing the sin of killing a bull, the symbol of religion. She suggested that to counter this sin He should bathe in all the holy rivers.
Krishna, immediately pushed His lotus feet on the floor, making a big hole, and asked all the sacred rivers enter it. They appeared before him and formed the Syama Kunda, the bathing place Syama, who has the color of a dark rain cloud.
After bathing, Krishna declared that had been purified by bathing in Syama Kunda, but that the gopis had become impure, being a demon side, although it had appeared in the form of a bull.
Radharani, along with some of His gopis friends, broke her bracelets and dug a hole with broken pieces. But there was no water, so Krishna laughed. Then the gopis formed a line to the Manasi Ganga and began to fill the hole with water that is passed from one to another.
At that time, all the sacred rivers again arrived in person and asked permission to enter the Kunda Radharani, Radha Kunda, which they did after receiving the blessing of Radharani.
Raghunatha dasa could not live after Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu left this world, so he went to Vrindavan to end his life by jumping from Govardhana Hill. Sri Rupa and Sanatana Goswami received him warmly and convinced him to continue living and illuminating all Vrajavasis Vaisnavas with Sriman Mahaprabhu's pastimes in Puri. For three hours he spoke on the banks of Radha-kunda Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu.
Raghunatha dasa Radha-Krishna performed bhajana at Radha Kunda for forty years. He lived an austere life in pure devotion. Raghunatha dasa Goswami showed the standard of renunciation required to obtain the eternal loving service of Radha-Giridhari in nikunja nitya lilacs in the Radha-kunda. His perfect example excites all Gaudiya Vaishnava to develop unshakable pure love of Radha-Krishna.
The daily bhajana of Sri Raghunatha Dasa Goswami included 64 rounds of japa (100,000 holy names), do manasi-seva in his spiritual body, worship of Govardhana sila, bathe thrice in Radha-kunda, offer thousand obeisances to Krishna, offer two thousand Vaisnavas and hug, rest ninety minutes and sometimes nothing, do service internally in the mind when an eternal associate of the Lord rests externally. Daily ate only 100 grams (a cup made with leaves) cream (butter).
Very close to Vrindavan, the village of Radha Kunda also keeps the kunda, or lake, which Sri Krishna ofrendara Srimati Radharani as their particular Ganga, is the treasure of the Goswamis, and for me, in my innate sensitivity to the mystical simplicity, the asrhrama of His Divine Grace Om Vishnupadi Paramahansa Parivrajakacharya Bhaktisiddhanta Saraswati Thakur Asttotara Srila Prabhupada.
In a glorious corner house Bhaktisiddhanta Saraswati offers simple and rendered to give grace of Acharya Srila Prabhupada, his very skilled in English disciple, the order to preach Krishna Consciousness in the West.
To our good fortune, Srila Prabhupada answered the order of his spiritual master and in August 1965 embarked on the Jaladuta, a boat Scindia Line of India and in September of that year, he landed in America, where, in New York, less than a year after his arrival, with some of his first Western disciples, created ISKCON, on July 13, 1966.

SHARE, PART 2

Share, Part 2, by Javier Figuerola or Haripada dasa

I share that yesterday I saw a video of Srila Prabhupada talking Swan and ravens, this is very interesting, pure devotees of God or Krishna are compared to the swans, the swans have the ability to draw from a mixture of milk and water only milk and leave the water, likewise pure devotees of God or Krishna have the ability to extract the spiritual part of everything and let the material part, the swans like to live in clean, clear water full of lotuses, also the pure devotees of God or Krishna like good philosophy, take food offered to God or Krishna, go to temples where there is a peaceful atmosphere with incense, the ravens do not like that, to people who are like crows do not like that, they're going to dirty places where meat, fish and eggs, nightclubs, where there is alcohol and drugs you eat, that's a practical fact that birds of a feather flock together, crows Do not go where the swans are, do not like, and swans do not go where crows are, do not like, another difference between people who are like swans and they are like crows is that pure devotees of God or Krishna are free from lust and greed, and those who are like crows, are full of lust and greed.

Once a few reporters were to interview Srila Prabhupada, one of them told him that all great spiritual personalities like you do great miracles, miracles have you done, Srila Prabhupada was surrounded by his disciples and said you see all these people before coming to Krishna consciousness were addicted to all kinds of sinful activities, they ate meat, fish and eggs, were addicted to alcohol and drugs, practiced gambling and also made illicit sex, were like crows, now are swans, now only eat prasadam or offered to God or Krishna food, only drink pure water, do not practice gambling because they are completely satisfied with what they have, and if they marry only have sex to procreate and but celibate, it seems little miracle turn crows into swans.

SHARE, PART 1

Share, Part 1, by Javier Figuerola or Haripada dasa
I agree that once invited me to a school to show videos of the social benefits that our ong ago in Vrindavan, India, after showing the videos spoke and said that the word most beautiful and important dictionary is sharing, Related to this story ... ..había told a disciple of Srila Prabhupada called Yamuna he learned all the culinary art of India Srila Prabhupada, his spiritual brothers told Yamuna to share everything he learned with others, and Yamuna he said no, that she had all rights reserved, then went to see Srila Prabhupada to complain Yamuna, and Srila Prabhupada called her and told her that if you do not share what you know with others you may become envious, so Yamuna as good disciple wrote a book and revealed all the culinary secrets he had learned from Srila Prabhupada.
It is very sad and unfortunate situation of educational institutions, there bullying to the extent that here in Spain several children have committed suicide because they could not tolerate the other day 6 children for no reason beat him beat up a girl, now I understand why Srila Prabhupada called MATADEROS educational institutions, this means that if a soul has done devotional service to God in their previous lives there in educational institutions with their materialistic education kill those pious activities. In the Srimad Bhagavatam that Prahlada Maharaja was born as a pure devotee of God or Krishna, and his father was a demon first class and tried many times to kill his son, but the Lord Nrisimhadeva is an incarnation of God saved him. Teachers Prahlada Maharaja taught to children's policy, which means that those of our party are our friends and the other the other party are our enemies, and Prahada Maharaja rebelled against these teachings and told the teachers that you say that because are full of ignorance and envy, I see that we are all children of God and we are all equal and do not do those differences. Today educational institutions do not teach science as free from ignorance and envy, the science of God, science of the spirit soul, for them these issues are passé, teachers give them a salary to give some information, and these teachers, and parents and students live full of ignorance and envy, and the result of this and see it. Of course in educational institutions, either teachers or parents or students like the word share. To be continue………

SATISFIED ITSELF

Satisfied itself by Javier Figuerola or Haripada dasa
Satisfied itself does not require anyone's love, these people are absorbed in thoughts of the Supreme Personality of Godhead and, therefore, do not care if someone loves you or not, these people are oceans of mercy, and try help human society so that people pure devotees of God or Krishna become. Srila Prabhupada his spiritual master ordered him to go to Western countries to preach God consciousness or Krishna and at the age of 69 years came from India to the US to comply with the order that he gave his spiritual master to spread the message Krishna consciousness in the English language. Began to chant the Maha-mantra: Hare Krishna, Hare Krishna, Krishna Krishna, Hare Hare / Hare Rama, Hare Rama, Rama Rama, Hare Hare in a park in New York and there began his movement, many young people approached him to receive spiritual training. Many people left the illicit sex, gambling, drugs and consumption of meat, fish and eggs and sang every day 27,648 names of God in their rosaries. These people felt so much spiritual happiness in a natural way Srila Prabhupada wanted to help spread their movement so that everyone was happy. Srila Prabhupada started to 10,000 followers worldwide, hit around the world 14 times, wrote 80 books of 400 pages each, answered more than 7,000 letters and delivered thousands of lectures, opened over a hundred temples throughout the world and many farming communities and in 1972 founded the program food for live or food for life and ordered 15 kilometers around their temples no one should go hungry, have distributed millions and millions of plates of prasadam, or food offered to God or Krishna. He slept every day 3 hours from 10 pm until 1 am, there he rose to translate the great classics of India as the Srimad Bhagavatam and Sri Chaitanya Charitamrita, his disciples and admirers have distributed more than 500 million his books in all languages ​​of the world. Acharya Srila Prabhupada is that means one who preaches by his personal example. Unfortunately few days before entering the lila samadhi said he was being poisoned, and after desencarnar his disciples carried by their personal interests changed his instructions, these people received much mercy of Srila Prabhupada and yet betrayed. Many people like me and others who were on their movement, we walked for not complicit in all offenses are doing to Srila Prabhupada, the result of offending Srila Prabhupada is that people become atheistic and living in unconsciousness, there is nothing new under the sun and history repeats itself over and over again, the person authorized by God or Krishna and establishes the principles of religion comes from, but when you go back again disorder. People who have sacrificed their lives to please Srila Prabhupada, God or Krishna reveals who is really Srila Prabhupada.

THE TRUE FORMULA OF PEACE

The true formula of peace, by Javier Figuerola or Haripada dasa
The guru of the universe called Srila Prabhupada teaches us that true peace formula is in chapter 5, verse 29 of the Bhagavad Gita, there God or Krishna declares that He is the ultimate beneficiary of all sacrifices and austerities, in other words when everything we do we offer it to God or Krishna with love and devotion, that activity purifies and is the only action that is outside the law of karma, then he says that I am the proprietor of all planets and demigods, this statement has a lot of logic and reasoning, no one in the history of mankind has said that I am the owner of all, God or Krishna can tell because He has created everything, if known this simple truth, there would be peace in the world , things are already there given by God or Krishna, are people full of ignorance and envy and claim that this land is mine, and others say no, it's mine and fight, if people want out of ignorance, think, this land has given us our Eternal God or Krishna Father, and we are all brothers, we will share this land with love and trust, and the third statement made by God or Krishna is saying that He is the benefactor and friend of all living entities, there God or Krishna refers not only to humans but to all species of life, there 8400.000 species of life, including plants, insects, fishes, mammals and humans, is just out of sheer envy, hypocrisy and ignorance that people say that I love you very much my pet, dog, cat, etc., but others like me in the spiritual culture of India to all living entities are given the same respect for of course the law of God is a living entity is food for another living entity, but the idea is to make minimal violence to nature to feed the tiger has intended to eat another animal, the tiger does not come to eat your grapes , human beings can feed grains, fruits, milk, nuts, vegetables, fruits etc., but man mimics the tiger and the animals eat, but as your teeth is not like tiger has to go to dentist, today science is very advanced, but no intelligence to understand and accept that the teeth of the tiger and the human being is different, and because of that dentists become millionaires, tigers do not go to the dentist. God or Krishna says is our best friend, so the best friend is one who never leaves, so from time eternal God or Krishna lives with us in the form of the Supersoul, God or Krishna is located in the heart of all living entities as our best friend.

4 KINDS OF PEOPLE

4 kinds of people, by Javier Figuerola or Haripada dasa
I agree that Srila Prabhupada taught us that there are 4 classes of people, the first called karmis or fruitive workers, these people work very hard to gain material benefits and the basis of his life is the pleasure of your senses, in Srimad Bhagavatam 5 , 5, 4, appoints saying that materialists who work hard like dogs and pigs, just to please your senses really are crazy. They just do all kinds of abominable activities to satisfy your senses. Materialistic activities are not at all worthy of an intelligent person, because as a result of such activities one gets a material body, which is full of suffering. The second class are called mental speculators, these people are trying to break free from suffering, birth, death, old age and disease, they think if I founded in God will be immortal and cease to suffer, but it is considered that their knowledge it is impure because it has no information about devotional service, and they forget the direct worship of the lotus feet of the Supreme Personality of Godhead. The third class are the yogis, they want mystic power, in India there was a yogi who was naked and police locked him in prison and his mystical power to become smaller than an atom out of the prison, modern yoga has nothing to do with it, that's gymnastics, yoga means the science of the relationship with God, but modern yogis are all atheists, and the fourth class are the pure devotees of God or Krishna, they just want to satisfy God or Krishna and His devotees, and are the only people free of fear, the causes of fear is not knowing what will happen in the future, envy and lack of love.
Karmis want gratification of their senses, mental speculators want to get rid of suffering and yogis want mystic power, these three kinds of people live full of anxieties, but devotees of God or Krishna are free from material desires, so they are only peaceful people there.
Thought to ponder:
"To you I will stop deceiving when you stop deceiving others."

THE CIVILIZED PERSON

The civilized person, by Javier Figuerola or Haripada dasa
I agree that the meaning of the verse of the Srimad Bhagavatam, 1, 9, 26, Srila Prabhupada says: "Bhīṣmadeva recommended nine qualities that should exhibit all human beings: 1) no angry, 2) not lie, 3) equitably distribute wealth 4) forgive 5) to beget children only legitimate wife of one, 6) being of pure mind and healthy body, 7) not be hostile to anyone, 8) be simple, and 9) keep servants and subordinates. A one can not be called a civilized person, if not acquire the above preliminary qualities.
Srila Prabhupada always said that now there is no genuine religious, they spread false doctrines disguised and hidden from the world pure philosophy of religion, there is no administrators or honest politicians, they are only interested in their party, in power and money, and have no sympathy for others, they are agitators demons, and if anyone afraid of these infernal leaders to take refuge in the process of Krishna consciousness, there is no cow protection, spiritual culture of India there are seven mothers and one of them is the cow, because it provides milk, and the demoniac thanks him and cut off his head, so the only thing there are now people from fourth class, no one can find happiness being run by people of the fourth class, spiritual culture of India is so high that a person is not considered civilized if not abandon illicit sex, gambling, alcohol and drugs and the consumption of meat, fish and eggs. Preach God consciousness or Krishna is not easy, only serious and sincere in spiritual life people appreciate your preaching, evil and jealous people do not appreciate, and when they are extremely evil and envious kill the preacher, as in the case of Jesus Christ and others.

THE CORRECT PHILOSOPHY

The correct philosophy, by Javier Figuerola or Haripada dasa
Srila Prabhupada always said that we all seek the truth, that is the philosophical way of life, also he said that religion without philosophy is sentiment or fanaticism and philosophy of Krishna consciousness is very easy because we have to invent anything but repeat the message given by the spiritual masters predecessors. Vedic or the Vedas, Veda scriptures means spiritual knowledge, consists of ten billion verses, there are described the unlimited names, forms, qualities and pastimes of God or Krishna and His devotees. In the Vedas there are ten main lessons, the first is the test of true knowledge or base are the Vedas, and the other nine teachings in the Vedas say, they destroy ignorance and establish the true spiritual knowledge.
The second lesson or Krishna explains that God is the only Supreme Absolute Truth. The third is that God or Krishna is omnipotent, all energies are themselves contained within Him. The fourth emphasizes that God or Krishna is the embodiment of all spiritual mellows and He is the source of bliss for all living entities and he resides eternally in his abode in the spiritual sky. The fifth lesson discusses how spiritual souls are integral parts separated from God or Krishna, the spiritual souls are of two kinds, the eternally liberated and eternally conditioned, they populate both material and spiritual planets. The sixth teaching notes as spiritual souls fall in love with ignorance, and forget God or Krishna and remain tied to this world full of suffering and temporary material. The seventh lesson is that the eternally liberated spirit souls reside in the spiritual world and enjoy loving relationships with God or Krishna. The eighth teachings is that God or Krishna and His energies are one and different, are one means that the cause of causes is God or Krishna and are different means that there is variety, variety is the pleasure. Nine teaches the nine members of devotional service to God or Krishna, are: hearing, chanting, remembering, worshiping, serving, do the orders of God or Krishna, be a friend of God or Krishna, serve the devotees of God or Krishna and completely surrender to God or Krishna. And the tenth teaching says that the result of practicing devotional service is that one will attain love for God or Krishna.

TEN OFFENSES TO HOLY DHAMA

Dhama-aparadha: The ten offenses that must inhabit the holy Dhama

1. Disparaging or disrespecting the guru who is the one who has revealed the holy dhama.
2. To think that the holy dhama is temporary.
3. Committing violence against any resident of the holy dhama, or against any pilgrim
     I go there, or think that they are ordinary worldly people.
4. Run mundane activities while living in the holy dhama.
5. Make Money or make a business of worshiping the Deity and chanting the holy name.
6. To think that the holy dhama belongs to a worldly city or province, as
     Bengal, or think that the Dhama of the Lord is equal to a sacred place related to some
     demigod, or attempt to measure the area of ​​the Dhama.
7. To commit sinful activities while in the Dhama.
8. Consider that Nabadwip and Vrindavan are different.
9. Blasmefar against sastra glorifying the holy dhama.
10. Be disbelief and think that the glories of the holy dhama are imaginary.

WE ARE INDIVIDUAL

We are individual, by Javier Figuerola or Haripada dasa
Today there are philosophies invented and strange, one of the most widespread is the one that says that we are all one, that philosophy is wrong that equality between God or Krishna and the spiritual souls must never be accepted as homogeneity, each and every one of the living entities it is an individual entity, if that homogeneity is accepted, then with the release of an individual soul, all other individual souls would have been released immediately, but the truth is that all individual souls are enjoying and suffering in the material world in a way that differs from one another. Also in the Bhagavad Gita, 2, 12, God or Krishna tells Arjuna that there was never a time when I did not exist, nor you, nor all these kings, nor in the future any of us cease to exist. Here God or Krishna openly declares his individuality and all in the past, at present and in the future. To God is compared to the flaming fire and innumerable spirit souls are compared with the sparks of that fire, although both God and the spiritual souls are qualitatively fire, yet there is a distinction, God is infinite while the spiritual souls are infinitesimal in other words, we are one with God as both God and we are consciousness and eternal, but we are different in quantity, God is infinite and we are infinitesimal.
God or Krishna has unlimited and varied energies, and the great sages have divided them into three, the spiritual energy, the material energy and the marginal energy, the spiritual world or the Kingdom of God is made of spiritual energy, the material world and the gross and subtle bodies of spiritual souls are made of material energy and we are marginal energy, that means we have two tendencies, one being with God and His devotees in the spiritual world and the other is to give back to God and live in the material world, in other words, we are free to use our free will to use it right or wrong.
Thought to ponder:
"In my personal life when I see that someone wants to control me immediately break my relationship with that person and always live free and full of happiness."

IMPERSONALISM

Impersonalism, by Javier Figuerola or Haripada dasa.

I share that is very interesting the meaning of Srila Prabhupada The Bhagavad Gita, 4, 10, there it is said Consequently, they consider that Krishna is God or impersonal. And because they are too absorbed materially scares them the concept of retaining the personality after liberation from matter. When they are informed that spiritual life is also individual and personal, are frightened of people come back again and so naturally prefer a kind of merging into the impersonal void. In the pranam-mantra Srila Prabhupada we say Sunyavadi nirvisesa Srila Prabhupada came to liberate Western countries impersonalism and nihilism. Srila Prabhupada has so many enemies for that, because he realizes that is a person, and that is in the material world preaching Krishna consciousness somewhere while also serving Sri Radha and Krishna in his spiritual body in the world spiritual. That is the specific difference between all ACHARYAS OR SPIRITUAL MASTERS COMING OF THE SPIRIT WORLD TO PREACH KRISHNA CONSCIOUSNESS IN THE MATERIAL WORLD, and all impostors who pose as spiritual teachers, that is the answer to so profound question the Bhagavad Gita, 4, 42 Srila Prabhupada says: tHAT IS a GENUINE spiritual master in the disciplic succession from time eternal. Now two questions arise, why act this supposed spiritual teachers deceivers? and why the alleged devotees follow these deceivers ?, the answer is very obvious, WHY PEOPLE ARE AFRAID TO BE when one is afraid of being a person becomes an impersonalist. Why most teachers are supposed spiritual deceivers people dressed devotees, the fate of these and their followers is very dark. These people are attached to evil by not practice anything genuine, and that's the answer to that when they see someone genuine or following the genuine are filled with envy and make plans to go against that person. Why Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Saraswati Prabhupada in his article all about the guru said there are two gurus, one that comes from the spiritual world and that guru is for very serious and sincere in spiritual life people, and there is another kind of guru that Krishna sends to those who want to be deceived, as there are so many people who want to be cheated as they are also some deceivers, Krishna or God has put there to those deceivers gurus. That is the reason why Srila Prabhupada has so few earnest and with clear ideas followers, and because of impersonalism so many people posing as followers of Srila Prabhupada but in reality they are offending 24 hours a day. That's also the answer to that devotees assumptions it so difficult to relate to people, IS PURE FEAR OF PEOPLE THINK THEY ARE. Freedom from fear is the hardest thing to do in this world, that is why Krishna or God says in the Bhagavad Gita, 18.66, fear not.

RELATIONS

Relations, by Javier Figuerola or Haripada dasa
One of the biggest impediments for people to relate well, is that people are used to living with hidden desires, do not forget that we are in Kali-yuga sinful era, arguments, hypocrisy and brawls are reduced all good things, mercy, sympathy, bodily strength, memory, or in the homes of the most noble and pious people talk about God or Krishna and His devotees, is an era full of ignorance and violence. Find in this was a balanced person is very difficult to say to find a pure devotee of God or Krishna, Srila Prabhupada at the end of his preface to The Bhagavad Gita As It says that if only a man becomes pure devotee of the Lord, we consider all our mission a great success. Usually people do not wake up to a higher consciousness because they are full of jealousies, fears, doubts, fanaticisms, speculation, prejudice and full of sinful activities.
People relate to others in worldly matters, football, money, women reveal their problems, etc., when people interact with others do not talk about how we can be better people, how we can help people suffering the big problem is that people do not listen to anyone, the other day my older brother complained and told me you're talking to one and he wants you to listen to him, but when you speak you see that he does not listen, no one will the world with great humility saying I am fool number one and I need your mercy, everyone goes that I am the most and the others are worthless. There are people living in the pure, God or Krishna goodness and His devotees, they never will hurt you, and never deceive you with they can go with an open heart, with others that are influenced by the modes of ignorance and passion must be very careful with them, at any time can betray you. Once they asked Srila Prabhupada how we can live in the mode of goodness and Srila Prabhupada replied to follow the 4 regulative principles, abandoning illicit sex, gambling, drugs or intoxicants and meat consumption , fish and eggs and singing every day 27,648 names of God in the rosaries, the Maha-Mantra Hare Krishna, Hare Krishna, Krishna Krishna, Hare Hare / Hare Rama, Hare Rama, Rama Rama, Hare Hare (H reads J iota).
Thought to ponder:
"It is better to understand our position to criticize others."

GOD´S CREATION

God's creation, by Javier Figuerola or Haripada dasa
All the world Scriptures say that God created this material world. One of our spiritual masters in the disciplic succession called Srila Visvanatha Chakravarti Thakur said that when you see a pitcher, this is the practice proves that there is a potter that made him, in the same way when we see the cosmic manifestation with planets, stations that follow one after another, etc., that is the practical proof that God exists and He is the one who created everything, and always said that God means 5 words, 1 God 2 is 3, 4 High, 5 Controller . Today there are many theories that have neither head nor tail, for example the big bag, there was an explosion and everything was in order, when they put a bomb terrorists, the first thing the police question is who put the bomb, because the big bag not ask this question, because they have no intelligence, another theory is that everything happens by chance, you ask him a millionaire you you became rich by chance, and he will tell you that no, he did this business , the other and so I am now rich, you ask him a doctor you have done you doctor by chance, he'll tell you no, I studied at the University, and passed exams, and now I'm a doctor, you ask him to a criminal, you're in prison by chance, and he will tell you no, I stole, killed, was tried and now I'm here in prison. So the conclusion is that chance does not exist.
Once Srila Prabhupada was giving a talk about Theologians, and said openly that he who denies the existence of God is a madman, one of Theologians this statement seemed very strong and told Srila Prabhupada that it would be better to call it stupid or foolish, and Srila Prabhupada said that insanity is the sum total of all the stupid, and everyone laughed heartily. Again he went to visit a guru who said he was God, and Srila Prabhupada asked him if he knew what God meant in the dictionary, and the guru said no, then looked in the dictionary and put God means the Supreme Person, the Supreme Authority, and Srila Prabhupada challenged and asked you are the Supreme Person, the Supreme Authority, and the guru said no, then Srila Prabhupada said this guru claims to be God and not know what it means God, and everyone laughed readily.
Thought to ponder:
"The devotees of God or Krishna are experienced people in happiness, and can be called peaceful because their senses are always fixed in the service of the Supreme Lord."

THE HUNTER AND THE WISE

The hunter and the wise, Javier Figuerola or Haripada dasa
Srila Prabhupada wrote a little book called the hunter and the sage, this story is in the Scriptures of India. There was once a terrible hunter, not kill animals directly but killed the half and seeing the suffering of the animals was a great pleasure. Once passed through the forest hunter the great sage and pure devotee of God or Krishna called Narada Muni, seeing the dead means animals felt great compassion for them and went looking for the hunter, the hunter with their bows and arrows seemed a assistant lord of death called Yamaraja, Narada Muni told the hunter that all the suffering that was causing them to animals, those same sufferings have to suffer in your own person in your next birth, the hunter became frightened and said, Narada Muni to help him purify this karma, then Narada Muni told him to break his bow, the hunter protested and told him that if I break my bow that I will live, Narada Muni said that if you give yourself to God never you will lack nothing, then the hunter broke his bow and told Narada Muni to instruct him, Narada Muni told him to plant the Empress of plants called Tulasi Maharani and chant the Maha-Mantra Hare Krishna, Hare Krishna, Krishna Krishna, Hare Hare / Hare Rama, Hare Rama, Rama Rama, Hare Hare circling the Tulasi plant. When people learned that the hunter had become a pure devotee of Krishna or God came to him and brought him gifts of grains, vegetables, fruits, milk, honey, etc. He spent time and Narada Muni visited the hunter, the hunter saw his Gurudeva became very happy and was about to give his obeisance saw on the ground were many ants and not crush them with the edge of his clothes the removed, and Narada Muni said very happy that you are now a pure devotee of God or Krishna and now can not cause pain or an ant.
In this connection I share a story of my mother God rest his soul, was a neighbor of my mother who was very jealous of my mother and one day for no reason punched him my mother, my mother as a good Christian put the other cheek, the neighbor to see the attitude of my mother began to mourn and feet pulled my mother saying to forgive my mother hugged her and then were very good friends, my mother with her personal example always taught us to love our enemies. When a person knows God or Krishna becomes very happy and spread that happiness to others.

SPIRITUAL CULTURE

Spiritual culture, by Javier Figuerola or Haripada dasa
The essence of spiritual culture of India is always remembers God or Krishna and never forget, and all activities such as music, dance, theater, politics, etc., were intended to achieve that point. Unhappily for years political leaders of India absorbed in economic development have abandoned their spiritual culture and now imitate the West, the result has been utter chaos. It is very surprising that Srila Prabhupada before coming to the West tried to make devotees of God or Krishna in India and it was very difficult then to fulfill the order of his Gurudeva to preach in the West came to New York in 1965, from the year 1,965 to 1,977 that he disembodied, Srila Prabhupada hit around the world 14 times, wrote 80 books of 400 pages each, started more than 10,000 disciples, opened over a hundred temples and farming communities, answered more than 7,000 letters and in 1972 he founded the food for life to give food around the world, he was 69 when he arrived in New York and disembodied at 81, thanks to his inspiration many people abandoned illicit sex, gambling, drugs or intoxicants and consumption of meat, fish and eggs and sang every day 27,648 names of God in their rosaries.
Seeing the superhuman activities of Srila Prabhupada many people asked if he was God and always answered that I am not God, I try to be a humble servant of God, a servant of God is not an ordinary thing. Then Srila Prabhupada led his Western disciples to India and Hindus to see that Westerners were becoming devotees of God or Krishna, they also became devotees. Srila Prabhupada presented God consciousness or Krishna as a spiritual culture and as a spiritual science, so he always said that religion without philosophy is sentiment or fanaticism.
Thought to ponder:
"I pray to God or Krishna never offend any mobile or stationary living entity, because the offenses are the cause of all suffering."

JESUS CHRIST

Jesus Christ, by Javier Figuerola or Haripada dasa
Srila Prabhupada told us many times that Jesus Christ was a saktyavesa avatara, a very special soul that God sends from the spiritual world to make a mission on earth, preaching by time, place, circumstances and climate. Srila Bhaktivinoda Thakur also glorifies in his books. I have heard that in the Bavisya Purana is a prophecy of the coming of Jesus and says that the son of God will come and be crucified by the yavanas or meat eaters. A very interesting thing of the disciples of Jesus who had so much faith, love, devotion and gratitude towards him that many of them became martyrs sacrificed their lives for him. Full faith and Christian hope is based on the second coming of Jesus. In this connection it is very interesting quote one JUAN 16, 25 there is said that Jesus said that I have spoken to in proverbs but the time will come when I will speak clearly FATHER. If we look at all the great personalities who have come after Jesus, we find that the only genuine, authorized and transparent person who has taught us that God is Krishna and that has given us the spiritual world is Srila Prabhupada, I feel that Srila Prabhupada is the second coming of Jesus, do you you think of this ?, have been someone other than Srila Prabhupada has taught us that Krishna is God and that God was always talking about ?, is very interesting that Srila Prabhupada said that if I OS WHO TOLD mE I would not believe it. History repeats itself and there is nothing new under the sun, Jesus was crucified him and Srila Prabhupada was poisoned, (Srila Prabhupoada says in the book of conversations in Volume 36 on page 367 I are poisoning), one might be the question why people act like this, the answer is obvious, envy and the desire to please their personal and selfish interests. I suspect that many of us did a lot of service to Jesus and we are now continuing that service to Jesus in the form of Srila Prabhupada, and Jesus had many enemies and Srila Prabhupada too many assumptions disciples of Srila Prabhupada were enemies of Jesus and now continue being enemies of Jesus in the form of Srila Prabhupada, and people like me and others to continue our service to Srila Prabhupada we have had to go ISKCON (ISKCON is the institution that Srila Prabhupada founded in 1966), by which we understand that if he was poisoned Srila Prabhupada that we may do to us. The question may arise now is where all those disciples of Jesus who sacrificed their lives for him are, the answer to this question is that Srila Prabhupada said that this generation of devotees will not be very good but then come very good devotees. What do you think of this ?, other point is that the leaders of Iskcon consciously have been since 1977 until now hiding the truth and living a lie, the result is that now are people full of fears, envy, bigotry and prejudice, I personally when I think that I no longer give obeisance to those bad people, I am filled with happiness and freedom, and I thank God or Krishna and Srila Prabhupada for allowing me to live the truth, the truth will MAKE YOU FREE.

GOD LOVES THAT PERSON

God loves that person, by Javier Figuerola or Haripada dasa
With love and trust I share of Bhagavad Gita or the Song of God in chapter 12 verses from 12 to 20. If a person wants God to love you must have those qualities. One who is not envious but, rather, is a good friend of all living entities, who do not own anything is believed and is free from false ego, which maintains equanimity both happiness and distress, which is tolerant, that is always satisfied, which is self-controlled, and engaged in devotional service with determination, his mind and intelligence fixed on Me, such a devotee of Mine is very dear to Me. One for whom no one is put into difficulty and who is not disturbed by anyone, keeping balance in happiness and in sorrow, in fear and anxiety, it is very dear to Me. My devotee that it is not of ordinary course of activities, who is pure, who is an expert, who has no worries, it is free from all sufferings and craves not get a result, is very dear to Me. One who neither rejoices nor grieves, who neither laments nor desires, and who renounces both favorable and unfavorable things, a devotee of that kind is very dear to Me. One who is equal to friends and enemies, who maintains equanimity amid honor and dishonor, heat and cold, happiness and distress, fame and infamy, who is always free of contaminants relations, which is always silent and satisfied with anything, who does not worry any residence, which is fixed at the level of knowledge and who is engaged in devotional service, that kind of person is very dear to Me. Those who follow this imperishable path of devotional service and who faithfully engage in it entirely, having me Me as the supreme goal, are very, very dear to Me.
I practice since 1984 bhakti yoga, bhakti means devotion or love and yoga means the science of one's relationship with God, religion means to know God and love him, here the point is that religion without philosophy is sentiment or fanaticism, there so hypocritical people who say that I love God, but we see or know him ... you can not love a person who does not know, to me helps me spiritual literature of India there are 10 billion verses speak of the unlimited names of God, His ways, His qualities, His pastimes, etc ... it is good to talk about these things whenever there is respect when respect one enters the plane of the offenses is lost, and that's the fanaticism....
Thought to ponder:
"The only crisis that exists today is the great lack of awareness of God and the great lack of people who are conscious of God."

PURITY IS THE FORCE

Purity is the force, or Haripada Javier Figuerola dasa
A sinful person can not understand love God, God is pure and is in pure goodness, only the person who is pure and is in pure goodness can understand and love God. Therefore it is said that, who is a pure devotee of God or Krishna?, A pure devotee of God or Krishna is one that is beyond the influence of gold, women and Tigress of fame ... Such a person is detached and pure ... Such a person can defeat the ignorance of the world. By chanting the Maha-mantra: Hare Krishna, Hare Krishna, Krishna Krishna, Hare Hare / Hare Rama, Hare Rama, Rama Rama, Hare Hare (H reads j jota), one is purified and becomes extremely happy, and if you follow the four regulative principles, and abandon illicit sex, gambling, drugs or intoxicants and consumption of meat, fish and eggs, there you take a pure and sinless life. For those who are sinful, atheists, fools and liars, they can not transcend the duality of desire and hate.
Srila Prabhupada always said that religion without philosophy is sentiment or fanaticism and philosophy without religion is pure mental speculation, why Srila Prabhupada left us 80 books of 400 pages each so that by following his instructions we become pure devotees of God or Krishna . People are very lazy to spiritual life and why there are so deceiving people, and as people are so lazy to do the awakening take advantage and tell people you give me 30 euros and I will give you a mantra and six months thou shalt you are God and the people are so stupid that they believe it. Why this society is deceivers and deceived. So Srila Prabhupada always said that what he likes most people are suffering and that misleads, very few are interested in being extremely happy and free.
Thought to ponder:
"Let others do what they want, I do not concern, I already have enough work condemned purified my mind."

LIFE IS BEAUTIFUL

Life is beautiful, by Javier Figuerola or Haripada dasa
 This message comes to you out of love for life.
 Life is beautiful because God is a non-dual spiritual personality full of bliss, full of knowledge and full of eternity and we as are its parts and portions also in our pure and natural state have three qualities mentioned above, as the saying goes : LIKE FATHER LIKE SON, the difference between God and us is that He is infinite and we are infinitesimal, being infinite God never falls from his position, but we are one of the infinite energies of God called marginal, that means say we have two tendencies, one is to be with God and love Him with devotion and the other is that we want to enjoy apart from God, on this topic I suggest you read the book titled Milton's Paradise Lost. Now a question may arise whether life is beautiful, because there are so many people who suffer from anxiety, poverty, depression, diseases, cancer, etc. There is the law of karma, infallible law, in society there are laws made by men, and if your the break nothing happens, for example if you will pass a red light and not see you the police nothing happens, but the law of karma made by God is infallible, the law of karma is the law of action and reaction, the boomerang, each person reaps what he sows, IF YOUR CROPS GOOD WILL GET GOOD aND IF YOUR CROPS EVIL WILL RECEIVE tHE EVIL , EVERYONE hAS WHAT yOU dESERVE, eye for eye, tooth for tooth, when Jesus asked his disciples, Master this person born blind by their reactions in this life or the previous ?, Jesus replied: "he was born blind to show God's law, "God's law is the law of karma, there is karma or individual, collective destiny and each country has its own karma. A few years ago in England in an interview with the coach of the England football team, was asked why a person is paralyzed, and he said that's their karma or destiny, that answer shocked much English and were one month in all the media talking about the law of karma, we also have in Spain the child's history of Granada remembered all the details he had been a lama of Tibet in his previous life and went to Tibet and the boy remembered all. Everyone is subject to its past actions, but he who is versed in the philosophy of karma and its reaction is a man with knowledge, who does not grieve any incident, happy or sad. The greatest gift that God has given us is free will, freedom of choice, but we would ROBOTS, we can choose to live with God by obeying his laws or commandments or live exploiting and enjoying the matter and suffering the effects that this entails. a society in which all follow the law of God, love God above all things and your neighbor as yourself, where people were always thinking of doing good to others, to share what they imagine God been given with others who have less, where people related with love and trust, where it did not exist in people selfishness, envy, greed, lust, anger and ignorance, unfortunately the Bishop of Carterbury used to say: "MEN WANT THE KINGDOM OF GOD BUT NOT GOD". The hardest thing about taking off one is hypocrisy, people are already accustomed to delude themselves and others. As always I told my spiritual master Srila Prabhupada called "THIS PRESENT COMPANY IS cheaters and cheated". Unfortunately everything is polluted by personal and selfish interests, family, religion, politics, medicine, police, the military, the media, employers, unions, finance (stock exchanges, banks) etc, there is a great crisis of simple people at heart, full of integrity, honesty and wisdom. People who transmit positive messages for people to reflect and change their lives for the better without wanting anything in return, to make them understand the people that this human body life is a great blessing that God has given us, as we have the capacity to understand things that animals can not entenden, who I am, I do in this world that suffer, that is what awaits me at the time of death, etc, animals are conditioned to eat, sleep, fear and mate, and if only one person does the same as animals is animal also. Unfortunately today in the media only transmit negative messages, the other day a friend told me that seeing the Telediario you entered a depression, better not see it, nothing positive, all negative. Life is beautiful when one used to LOVE GOD AND WHEN ONE LOVES GOD EXISTS ONLY AS GOD AND ENERGY, LOVE OF A NATURAL WAY TO ALL AND TO ALL.

VYASA PUJA 2016

With love and trust I share my letter of Vyasa Puja 2016 to Jagat-Guru Srila Prabhupada
Do not try to understand Srila Prabhupada, that is not possible, in this connection see Bhagavad Gita, 9, 28. But it is a practical fact that anyone serving Srila Prabhupada with love, faith, addiction and thanks his life becomes successful and sublime.
It helped me understand what it means Acharya letter Vyasa Puja to Srila Prabhupada offered his Gurudeva in Bombay, this comes in the book called the science of self-realization, that Srila Prabhupada presents his Gurudeva not as the founder of the Gaudiya Matha but as the Jagat-Guru Guru of the universe, the guru of all. In this connection I share that I had a very vivid dream with Srila Prabhupada, he said he traveled through all the planets preaching Krishna consciousness, and planets in that devotees were very close Krishna consciousness was expanding very quickly, but on this planet Earth devotees are united not only no but when they see some very pure devotee instead of rejoicing envy, so on this planet Krishna consciousness take longer to expand.
It is very interesting what Srila Prabhupada says in the Bhagavad Gita 4, 42, that says a bona fide spiritual master is in the disciplic succession from time eternal. All are eternally related with Srila Prabhupada, we all need to Srila Prabhupada, is not the same chant the Gayatri meditating on Srila Prabhupada that someone else is not the same offer food Srila Prabhupada to another person. I do not talk in theory but in terms of my personal experience. Some say that Srila Prabhupada's a dead guru and you need to be a living guru, but Prabhupada is dead for those who offend him with strange philosophies, Srila Prabhupada always said I never die but live forever in my books and guru you who obey my instructions in my books always live with me.
As I understand it is that God's desire is that Krishna or through his books Srila Prabhupada is the Acharya for the next 10,000 years and there will be much devotees love to Srila Prabhupada and Srila Prabhupada will be representatives and help and educate people to serve and love Srila Prabhupada, and anyone who goes against this desire of God or Krishna is punished very severely.

GOOD PEOPLE AND STRANGE

Good people and strange, by Javier Figuerola or Haripada dasa
In this world there are two kinds of people, good people and strange, I will try to expose them to the qualities do not be fooled, because this world is a world of cheaters and cheated. The difference between the good people and the strange is that the former are not selfish and always think of doing good to others and strange are very selfish and never think of doing good to others.
Good people always live happily in God consciousness or Krishna and are free, (The Truth will set you free) and are kind, tolerant, friendly with everyone, always respect everyone and never want to be respected, are true, pure of heart, conquer hunger, thirst, lamentation, envy and old age, not deceive themselves or others, they are happy when they see others happy in God consciousness or Krishna and suffer when they see others suffer and have as their best friends to God or Krishna and his representatives. At no time forget God or Krishna and His devotees, in every moment of life feel God's protection or Krishna and His devotees. They live free of fear that their future is very bright and know they go back home back to God or Krishna. God or Krishna hold to turn strangers into good persons. They use their selfishness to go back home back to God or Krishna. They do not envy anyone for living filled with peace and satisfaction. Know God or Krishna and love him as God or Krishna and His energies only they exists naturally love everyone and everything.
Strange people live always filled with fears, doubts, envy, bigotry, prejudice and intolerant, dirty heart, only they seek to be respected and they do not respect anyone, are very envious and do not believe in God or Krishna, themselves they think they are God, or Krishna. They are very adept at exploiting and control others. His greatest suffering is good to see happy and free in God consciousness or Krishna people. If a person is associated with good people just being a good person and if associated with strangers ends up being a stranger, tell me who your friends are and I'll tell you who you are. When strangers are good people instead of rejoicing envy them, and thus become more strangers.
Thoughts to ponder:
"You shall not lie without knowing a thing, life is a continuous learning and can also be a continued degradation."
Who is a pure devotee of God or Krishna?, A pure devotee of God or Krishna is one that is beyond the influence of gold, women and Tigress of fame ... Such a person is unattached and pure ... Tal person can defeat the ignorance of the world.

SAVE ONESELF

Save oneself, by Javier Figuerola or Haripada dasa
I share a letter from Srila Prabhupada that says that this is our true mission, to rid the world to preach the message of Krishna to others, but even the best performance, the highest realization is the save oneself. In this connection I share that several months ago I was talking with a friend and saw very depressed and frustrated, I gave him a japa or rosary and a sheet with the meaning of the Maha-Mantra Hare Krishna, Hare Krishna, Krishna Krishna, Hare Hare / Hare Rama, Hare Rama, Rama Rama, Hare Hare, after a few months I saw again and looked like another person, I saw her radiant and happy, told me that singing the Maha-Mantra Hare Krishna felt the presence of God in his life and could not stop singing the Maha-Mantra Hare Krishna, I was very happy to see the very positive change this friend and told him that everything is in you, if you are happy and positive even around you is negative and sad will not affect you, and if you're negative and sad though around you is happy and positive, you're negative and sad.
The problem with people is that it is very hypocritical and jealous, make you a very pretty face in front of and behind you criticize and envy, and are always arguing, that's because they have no faith in anyone or themselves. He personally helped me a lot to be from 1984 to 2011 in direct contact with people, distributing the books of Srila Prabhupada, I estimate that I have spoken face to face with 4 million people, God or Krishna distributed through my more than a quarter of a million books of Srila Prabhupada, I lived in Spain, in 16 Latin countries, in USA and India. That has helped me to have a universal vision, and we all understand and accept that the great crisis there is God consciousness or Krishna, religions are pure hypocrisy, the mandate of all religions is the same, since you rise until you go to bed glorifies God your Lord, but people that do not practice and a stamp that I am a Buddhist, Christian, Muslim, Jewish are made, etc. And they fight with others saying that my religion is better than yours ones. The first lesson is to understand and accept that we are not the temporary material body but eternal spirit souls, and that have forgotten our relationship with God is the cause of all our suffering, and that the goal of human life is to understand and love God and go back home back to God, religion or cultural institution preaches this, Srila Prabhupada sacrificed his life for us and left us 80 books of 400 pages each for autorrealicemos us, and always said that to obey my instructions was given in my books always live with me

THE REAL ANTI-SYSTEM

The real anti-system, by Javier Figuerola or Haripada dasa
Practically speaking no one believes in God, for it is said that the one God who has no atheists is money, this is true for anti fulfill the vow of starting and sing every day at least 27,648 Holy Names of God. This in practice takes an hour and a half to two.
Everyone makes sex as dogs, pigs, camels and donkeys, the real antisistema for this is celibacy, celibate result is that one has a lot of body glitter, health, lots of memory and longevity.
To forget the suffering or to turn off the penalties everyone takes alcohol and drugs, and we're pretty intoxicated by being in contact with matter, the real anti-system for this is to take only mineral water.
Everyone covets the money and why everyone practiced gambling, the real anti-system for this is used to depend on God, in the end everyone has what he deserves.
Almost everyone eats meat, fish and eggs, the real antisistema for this is to have a vegetarian diet, personally take on this diet since 1983 and not what is being sick, and to spiritualize the food I offer it to God or Krishna in my temple.
After evacuating almost everyone cleans the anus with toilet paper, the real antisistema for this year is cleaned with water is cleaner than the mouth, in India everyone does that.
About politics, I am fully convinced that the basis of political material is that members of our political party are our friends and members of other political parties are our enemies, what is the cause of this philosophy? ignorance and envy, how can citizens obtain some benefit from people full of ignorance and envy ?, if political or executive heads of state are only interested in themselves, they can never ensure the welfare of citizens. In the Srimad Bhagavatam, 2, 3, 19 defines these politicians like donkeys, political and materialistic atheist is entangled in many illusory to raise the position of others, as leader of the political emancipation and economic development occupations. There is nothing wrong with trying to achieve political emancipation and economic development, but one should not forget the true purpose of life, all these philanthropic activities must be coupled to the return to God. It is also said in Srimad Bhagavatam that one who is not a pure devotee of God can not have good qualities. Srila Prabhupada always said that those who are afraid of these infernal politicians who take refuge in the process of Krishna consciousness. Another point we need to understand is that to know and love God the person must be pure and without sin, sinful people only understand that suffering is happiness.

KRISHNA CONSCIOUSNESS

Krishna consciousness Javier Figuerola or Haripada dasa
When Srila Prabhupada in 1966 in New York founded the International Society for Krishna Consciousness, a friend of his told him why not put God consciousness instead of Krishna and Srila Prabhupada replied that God is somewhat vague, but Krishna is something concrete, and if someone does not know that Krishna is God to come here and we'll explain.
In the book's preface Krishna Srila Prabhupada explains that Krishna is God: Now, one can ask the question Why Is Krishna the Supreme Personality of Godhead? The answer is, because He is set to accurate and detailed descriptions of the Supreme Being, the Divine, in other words, Krishna is God because He is supremely attractive. Beyond the supreme principle of attraction, there is no other meaning of the word "God." How can anyone be supremely attractive? First of all, if someone is very rich, if he has great riches, it then becomes an attractive person for people in general. In a similar way if someone is very powerful, it also becomes an attractive person; and if someone is very famous, very beautiful, or wise, or is unattached to all kinds of possessions, he also becomes an attractive person. So from practical experience we can observe that one is attractive due to: 1) wealth, 2) power, 3) fame, 4) beauty, 5) wisdom, and 6) renunciation. One who simultaneously possesses all of these six opulences and that has unlimited degree, is understood to be the Supreme Personality of Godhead. Parasara Muni, a great Vedic authority describes these opulences of God. We have seen many rich, powerful, famous, beautiful, learned and erudite people; We have seen many people who belong to the order of renounced life and are detached from material possessions, but we have never seen anyone like Krishna in the history of mankind, which was simultaneously and unlimitedly rich, powerful, famous, beautiful it , wise and unattached. Krishna, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, is a historical figure who appeared on this planet five thousand years ago and behaved as a human being; but their activities were not parallel, from the moment of its appearance until the time of his disappearance. Each of its activities is unique in world history, and therefore who knows what we mean by the word "God," will accept Krishna as the Supreme Personality of Godhead. No one is equal to God, no one is greater than Him. That is the meaning of the familiar proverb "God is great."
Krishna consciousness means the art of concentrating our attention on God and give our love. Many people think they will be happy to promote the cause of moral principles and religious rites, others think they will be happy in economic development, and others through the indulgence of the senses, but the fact is that people can only be happy loving God or Krishna. And all the great representatives of God in different cultures as Jesus Christ, Srila Prabhupada, Muhammad, Confucius, etc., preach this truth: Love God above all things and your neighbor as yourself. Krishna consciousness is not a sectarian but universal process, and is practiced worldwide, Srila Prabhupada always said that Krishna consciousness is simple for simple-hearted and for those who are serious and sincere and it is difficult for those of twisted mind. Although the origin of consciousness of Krishna is India, punya bhumi the land of piety, caste systems ruined the whole spiritual culture of India, so Srila Prabhupada came to the West to preach Krishna consciousness and then went to India with his Western disciples and Hindus were very surprised that Westerners full of love for God chanting the Hare Krishna maha-mantra. It is very interesting what Srila Prabhupada says in the introduction of the Bhagavad Gita about the difference between faith and Sanatana dharma, faith can change, we see that a Christian Muslim does, or is Hindu, or vice versa, but Sanatana Dharma does not change, sanatana means eternal, and dharma means duty, the duty of eternal espirtual eternal soul is to serve God or Krishna and His devotees.
I am personally very pleased and happy to see that so many people are interested in knowing God and loving him, it is a fact that today there is a great spiritual awakening throughout the world, and increasingly there are peaceful dialogue between religions, the other day a friend of mine told me that Pope Francis spoke about the law of karma and when Srila Prabhupada asked him what he thought about Jesus Christ, he always said that Jesus Christ is our spiritual master, thank God we are no longer in the age media in the era of the Inquisition, which say that the Earth was round you burned at the stake, while this was happening in the West in India Sri Gauranga Mahaprabhu and his associates were discussing the Srimad Bhagavatam that informs us of the nature of all planets in the universe and the distances between all the planets in a scientific way.

CONTROL THE MIND AND THE SENSES

Control the mind and the senses, Javier Figuerola or Haripada dasa
My spiritual master Srila Prabhupada says in the preface to the nectar of the instruction that the first duty in all spiritual matters is to control the mind and senses, unless you control your mind and your senses, you can not move anything in life spiritual. Once a disciple of Srila Prabhupada asked as I can control my mind and my senses, Srila Prabhupada replied that you by yourself can not control your mind and your senses, but when you occupy your mind and your senses in the service of God or Krishna, Krishna God or you control your mind and your senses, and you become an instrument of peace of God or Krishna. Unfortunately people are servant of his mind and his senses, the mind tells you want alcohol and drugs, immediately, I want to eat any junk, immediately, I want to see naked women immediately want to listen to degrading music, immediately, I want to have sex immediately I want gambling, immediately, etc. People living full of jealousies, fears, doubts, fanaticisms, speculation, prejudice and full of sinful activities can not control their minds and senses and sooner or later make any crazy, the craziest thing is that they fail to fulfill the mission of human life, the mission of human life is to know and love God and go back home, back to God. Regarding the subject is very interesting what Srila Prabhupada says in the Bhagavad Gita, 6, 34: "The individual is the passenger in the car of the material body, and intelligence is the driver's mind is the instrument. which is conducted, and the senses are the horses. therefore, the self is the one who enjoys or suffers in the company of the mind and the senses. This is understood by great thinkers. "
Once a disciple of Srila Prabhupada asked him how one can live in the mode of goodness, and Srila Prabhupada responded by chanting the mantra Hare Krishna maha 16 rounds, that are 27,648 names of God and following the 4 regulative principles, abandon life illicit sex, gambling, drugs or intoxicants and consumption of meat, fish and eggs. I end this message by sharing the first verse of the nectar of instruction: "A sober person who can tolerate the urge to speak, the demands of the mind, the influence of anger, and the urges of the tongue, stomach and genitals he is qualified to make disciples all over the world. "

BUT THEY ARE HAPPY

But they are happy, by Javier Figuerola or Haripada dasa
I agree that I have spoken to many people in the West who have been in India and they all tell me the same thing, people live in a very simple way but they are happy. When I came to Vrindavan first thing I do is call my friend Raju to tell you that I come and bring me milk every two days brings me to my house two liters of milk, a liter make cheese and half a liter volume each day One day I asked Raju few cows you have, your family all right, he replied that he had 3 cows and wife and two children and all good, Raju every morning and evening out with your bike to distribute milk to their customers, and with that live very happy, he does not know what a bank or a mortgage, or know what it is to live in anxiety or impatience, the leads a simple life with high thinking.
Here in the West people do not like to lead a simple life with high thinking, we all understand and accept that the causes of anxiety and impatience is unkindness, there are three modes of material nature, ignorance, passion and goodness, when a person lives full of ignorance and passion are full of jealousies, fears, doubts, fanaticisms, speculation, prejudice and sinful activities, such people get very happy when they see others suffer and their greatest suffering is to see devotees of God or Krishna full of happiness and freedom, when a person lives in goodness is filled with spiritual knowledge and is happy and free, understand and agree that we are not the temporary material body but eternal spirit souls, and that the goal of human life is to know God and love him and as there is one God or Krishna and His energies naturally loves everyone and everything, and returns back home back to God in the spiritual world. That person suffers when he sees others suffer and is very happy when he sees happy people in God consciousness or Krishna, that person is not interested in wealth or power, he leads a simple life with high thinking and is the person most intelligent of all that is always glorifying God and His devotees, he always thinks others to do whatever they want to me does not concern me, I already have enough work condemned purifying my mind.
Thought to ponder:
"Idle mind devil's workshop, devil's workshop means where there is money and women."
