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).

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.
