THE HOLY NAMES OF THE LORD, PART 1

The Holy Names of the Lord, Part 1, by Javier Figuerola or Haripada dasa
The books of Srila Prabhupada inform us that God or Krishna has unlimited activities, and for each activity, it has a name. They also inform us that He has some so-called secondary names and other main or personal calls. For example: Visnu means the maintainer; Acyuta, the one who never falls; Paramatma, the supervisor and sanctioner; Allah, the greatest; Jehovah, the creator, etc. These names belong to the category of secondary names, related to their different energies. And then the main or personal names are those related to the relationship with their beloved devotees: Yasomatinandana, the son of mother Yasoda; Nandana, the son of Nanda; Gopijanavallava, the lover of the gopi; Giridhari, the one who raised the hill Govardhana; Govinda, who gives pleasure to the cows, the spiritual senses and the earth; Gopal, who cares for cows, etc. For us to understand these relationships we can set the example of a supreme court judge, when he is playing the role of judge, everyone respects him, gives him honors, etc., that same judge, when playing the role of father, His wife calls him Juansito, his little son plays with him to the horse, etc. All of us have an eternal relationship with God, but we have forgotten, because forgetfulness is part of our nature. Sometimes we say, I have forgotten this, or that. For those who want to know and remember God, He gives us very mercifully all means, and what means are these? He sends us the spiritual teachers, sends us the holy people and gives us the sacred scriptures. And as we have said before, for this age He also gives Himself in the form of His holy name. The holy name of the Lord is absolute, what does absolute mean? That is outside the material laws, there is no duality. For example, a law of nature, is satiety, what does this mean? That things get tired. For example, you see a movie, and the first time you like it, the second time you like less, and when the time many times, even dislike you. What does duality mean? Two things, the name and what the name represents. There is the handle and the word that describes it; Happiness, affliction; Fear, courage; Cold, heat, etc. In the holy name of God there is no duality or weariness; The holy name and God himself is the same. That's why there are people who can be singing it twenty hours a day and feel as fresh as a lettuce. The holy personal names of God have more power than the secondary ones. There is a whole theology behind all this.

THE MASSES ARE TERRIBLE

The masses are terrible, by Javier Figuerola or Haripada dasa
In the books of the talks, Srila Prabhupada is talking to his disciples about the death of Jesus Christ and Srila Prabhupada said that Jesus Christ was killed by the masses, the masses are terrible, this statement of Srila Prabhupada has a lot of depth when one enters into The masses lose their individual identity and intelligence and are carried away by the masses, the basis of the masses is fanaticism and false identification, for example Hitler led the war to his country by saying that the Germans were the superior race and Others are worthless, so let's kill everybody, the basis of this is fanaticism and false identification, political leaders use the masses as tools to satisfy their personal ambitions, and as those political leaders live in The corporeal concept and are full of ignorance and envy create havoc in society. The first thing we are advised in the Holy Scriptures of India such as The Bhagavad Gita and The Srimad Bhagavatam is that they come out of the darkness of ignorance and come to the Light, God or Krishna is Light, and ignorance and illusion is the Darkness, where God or Krishna is, there can be no darkness. The masses are like a flock of lambs, all go together, and if the leaders of those masses are people full of ignorance and envy carry the masses down the street of bitterness, that is why one must be very brave and determined to leave Of the masses and find their true spiritual being.
Srila Prabhupada always said that people do not understand the simpler truths of life because they live full of sinful activities. The first lesson in spiritual life is that we must understand and accept that we are not the temporal material body but eternal spiritual souls, we are parts and portions of God or Krishna and our true happiness will find it serving God or Krishna and His devotees. Today this simple truth is not taught in educational institutions, nor is it taught by religions, hypocritical people need to put a stamp to identify with a religion, but those religions are false because they do not teach the truth, and leaders Of these religions live as kings at the expense of the ignorance of their followers. At the end of The Bhagavad Gita, God or Krishna tells Arjuna that He abandons all religions and only surrenders to Me, I will free you from all your sinful activities, do not fear. The true religion is to know God and to love Him, and since there is only God and His Energies, naturally you will love everything and everyone, but people are not interested in knowing God or loving Him, Like to suffer and to deceive and live like a lamb in the masses and spend the 24 hours of the day lamenting.

RESPECT

Respect, by Javier Figuerola or Haripada dasa
In chapter five, verse 18 of The Bhagavad Gita, it is said that he who has spiritual vision sees with equal equality a humble priest, a cow, an elephant, a dog and a dog, that is to have true respect. Today people do not respect anything or anyone because they do not respect themselves, the other day a young woman went with her drugged car and ran over 3 cyclists and killed them. Respect is the basis for coexistence, when you lose respect come insults, people do not know how to live without offending others. There are no educational institutions that teach people to be peaceful and respectful, and parents do not want their children to be peaceful and respectful, once parents told me that they had to take their child to the psychologist because they saw that their child was very Strange, he did not go after women and he did not go to discos, he went to the mountains and he was a vegetarian, that's why they were very worried. Political leaders do not want people to be peaceful and respectful, political parties are made to expand materialism and atheism, today they make hate judgments, they do not believe in the law of karma, the law of karma means that any Suffering that you do to another living entity, that same suffering you will have to suffer in your own person, violence breeds violence, animals follow the laws of nature in a natural way, it is an act of hatred when you kill a Animal because when you kill it you are interrupting its evolution, I explain, if an animal had to live 20 years, and you kill it when you are 10, that soul that lives in the animal has to be reborn in the same species to complete its 20 Years, to understand this point the example given is that I go to your apartment and I break everything, that is a criminal act because I am causing inconvenience to the person who lives in that apartment, not violenc Ia means that you let the animal live and die naturally, and an act of hatred is that you kill the animal. If you want to eat meat, that's fine, you eat it when the animal dies, but do not kill it, because killing is an act of hatred. Why do not they make a judgment by act of hatred to all the people who eat meat, fish and eggs?
Srila Prabhupada says in his books that only by the slaughter of innocent animals, the karmic reaction of this is that every so often there is a world war and millions of people die. Nowadays people do not believe in anything, they are worse than animals, they only believe in money and power. People generally do not awaken to a higher consciousness because they are full of envy, fears, doubts, fanaticisms, speculations, prejudices and are full of sinful activities, and have no interest in purifying themselves. I end this message with a beautiful verse from Srimad Bhagavatam that says you are not a father or mother, do not be a ruler, do not be a spiritual master, but you are able to release your dependents from the cycle of birth and death.

THE BOOKS OF SRILA PRABHUPADA

The books of Srila Prabhupada, by Javier Figuerola or Haripada dasa
There is a prophecy that says that the books of Srila Prabhupada will be the books of laws for all humanity for the next 10,000 years. The teachings that Srila Prabhupada gave us in his books are eternal and practiced with joy, Srila Prabhupada lives forever in his teachings and he who obeys them lives with him. There are two ways to relate to Srila Prabhupada, one is when he was in his physical aspect one could serve his body, fanning him, giving him gifts, etc., and the other is obeying his instructions, it is said in the Holy Scriptures that Two ways the best is to obey his instructions, because in the physical relationship one can commit offenses, for example, at the end of his life Srila Prabhupada said that he was being poisoned, and also one can see Srila Prabhupada as an ordinary person, or envy him .
I will try to expose those eternal truths that Srila Prabhupada taught us, the first lesson to be understood and accepted is that we are not the temporary material body but eternal spiritual souls, we are parts and portions of God or Krishna, and our happiness is in serving To God or Krishna and His devotees taught us that God is Krishna and gave us a process to awaken our latent love that we all have for God or Krishna, and as there is only God or Krishna and His energies in a natural way when we love God Or Krishna, we will love everyone and everything, taught us that everything is from God or Krishna because He has created everything, and that a person becomes honest and wise when he uses everything to serve God or Krishna and His devotees, he taught us that There is the spiritual world, and that the goal of human life is to go back home, back to God. He taught us that the real problems are to be liberated from birth, death, old age and disease, taught us that the only spiritual process in Kali yuga or the present age is to chant the Hare Krishna Maha-Mantra, Hare Krishna, Krishna Krishna , Hare Hare / Hare Rama, Hare Rama, Rama Rama, Hare Hare, and taught us that the pure and intimate devotees of God or Krishna never die, they live eternally in their instructions, and Those who obey his instructions live with them. When humanity obeys these eternal truths there will be peace and prosperity in the world. From 1984 to 2011, thankfully, I have been traveling around the world distributing the books of Srila Prabhupada, God or Krishna has distributed through me more than a quarter of a million books, I will have spoken face to face with more than 4 million people, all this for me has been a great personal experience. Since 1966, more than 500 million books of Srila Prabhupada have been distributed throughout the world and in all languages.
Thought to meditate:
"A devotee of God or Krishna never exploits others for him to be happy, his only desire is for people to be happy in the consciousness of God or Krishna."
