THE FIRST LESSON PART 2

The first lesson Part 2, by Javier Figuerola or Haripada dasa
First of all, I want to clarify that all the information I am giving in my messages comes from the books of my spiritual master named Srila Prabhupada, Srila Prabhupada translated the Holy Scriptures from Sanskrit into English and wrote 80 books of 400 pages each and Have been translated into all the languages ​​of the world, Srila Prabhupada with its meanings helped us to understand everything, from the year 1967 until today his disciples and admirers have distributed more than 500 million of his books. I thank God I did my bit and from 1984 to 2011 I distributed more than 200,000 books by Srila Prabhupada traveling and living in Spain, in 16 Latin countries, the USA and India. The origin of this spiritual knowledge is God or Krishna and descends into human society through the guru-parampara or chain of disciplic succession, the genuine gurus who are representatives of God. Srila Prabhupada instructed us to share this knowledge with all human society, spiritual knowledge is the cause of unlimited happiness and ignorance is the cause of all suffering. If anyone wants to read the books of Srila Prabhupada they are in this web: www.vedabase.com
In this second part of the first lesson we will try to understand and accept the origin of the eternal spiritual soul. In all the Scriptures of the world it is said that the origin of everything is God. God has unlimited powers and energies, so that we understand them the great sages have classified them into three main, spiritual energy, material energy and marginal energy. We belong to the marginal energy, it is said in the Holy Scriptures of India that the soul has a glimpse of the spiritual world and also has a glimpse of the material world, 99 percent choose to go to the spiritual world to live with God or Krishna and Never fall into the material world, and there is one percent that we, who, seeing the opulences of God, envy us and we turn our backs on God and choose to go to the material world, free will means that you choose. To understand this point I advise you to read the lost paradise of Milton. It is said that three-quarters of God's creation is the spiritual world and the material world is only a quarter of God's creation.
To understand the difference between God and us there are several examples that illustrate this, God is like a great fire and we are like sparks of that fire, God is like the great ocean and we are like drops of that ocean, God is unlimited and infinite And we are infinitesimal, God and we are qualitatively one, ie we are spirit, and we have consciousness, but quantitatively God is infinite and unlimited and we are infinitesimal, so that one of the limitless names of God is Achyuta which means never It falls because it has complete knowledge, but we being infinitesimal we have a tendency to fall into ignorance and suffer. The whole process of Krishna consciousness is made up of spiritual activities that help us to transfer from the material world to the spiritual world.

THE FIRST LESSON PART 1

The first lesson Part 1, by Javier Figuerola or Haripada dasa
The first lesson in the spiritual life is to understand and accept that we are not the temporary material body, but eternal spiritual souls, loving servants of God or Krishna and His devotees. Let's analyze the difference between a living body and a dead body, living body means that the soul is inside the body and dead body means that the soul left the body. In reality the body is always dead what gives life to the body is the soul. If you burn a dead body, nothing happens, no one will protest, but if a living body you pinch it with a pin the person will protest, that is why the symptom of the soul is the conscience and that consciousness passes through everything Our body through the blood. For example, you, the person is inside the shirt and the jacket, but you are not the shirt or the jacket, in the same way the soul is the person, and the body that covers it is impersonal, we have two bodies that cover To the soul, one is called the coarse or gross body that is composed of earth, water, fire, air and ether, that body we see, and there is another body that is subtle, that we do not see it and is composed of mind, intelligence And false ego, that's why it's called subtle because we know we have it but we do not see it. Both gross and subtle bodies are impersonal bodies, but the soul is the true person.
The causes of all wars is to live in corporeal concept and religious fanaticism, Hitler thought the Germans are the maximum, we are going to kill the others who are inferior, the Christians thought we are the maximum we are going to kill the Muslims, and the Muslims thought we are the greatest, we are going to kill Christians, all this is pure ignorance, people living in the corporeal concept are full of ignorance and envy, and the result of this is much suffering, if the rulers of the world taught this Scientific knowledge that we are not the temporal material body but eternal spiritual souls, this is called extra education, if there were in each country a Ministry of Spiritual Education and educational institutions teach spiritual education, the result would be that people would be free and Happy.

THE HOLY NAMES OF THE LORD, PART 2

The Holy Names of the Lord, Part 2, by Javier Figuerola or Haripada dasa
In the chanting of the Holy Names of the Lord there are three stages: the offensive stage, the clarifying stage and the pure stage. The singer, in the offensive stage, wants material things; For there is purification. When one is in the clarifying stage, one has a glimpse of the holy name and becomes a liberated person; And in the pure stage, one experiences the love of God, and laments, why do I have only two ears? I wish I had millions of ears to hear the holy name. Why do I have only one language? I wish I had millions of tongues to sing. In order to reach the stage of pure singing, the ten offenses must be avoided. Jesus Christ said, "Hallowed be thy name." Why did Jesus Christ not say the name of God? Because He knew that many offenses would be done to Him, how He would allow them to offend also God, His father. The first offense to the holy name is to criticize or belittle the devotees who are devoting their lives to the propagation of the holy names of the Lord. The second offense is to consider that the names of the demigods, such as Brahma or Shiva, are equal or independent to the name of Lord Visnu. The third offense is to disobey the commands of the spiritual master or to envy his exalted position. The fourth offense is to criticize or belittle the Vedic scriptures or those that are consistent with the Vedic version. The fifth offense is to give an interpretation to the holy name of the Lord. The sixth offense is to sin with the confidence that by singing will erase the guilt. The seventh offense is to listen inattentively or without due attention, of this offense come all the others. The eighth offense is to sing for material gain. The ninth offense is to preach the glories of the holy names to those who lack faith, as Jesus Christ said: "Do not give pearls to swine." And the tenth offense is to have material attachments after having heard so many instructions about it. He who is able to avoid these ten offenses reaches the stage of love for God and his life is a success and sublime.
The spiritual master of Srila Prabhupada named Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Saraswati Thakura Prabhupada in his youth, made the vow to sing 300,000 names of God or Krishna every day, and that he would sing in a few years a thousand million holy names, when he completed his vow he went out to preach Krishna Krishna, Hare Hare / Hare Rama, Hare Rama, Rama Rama, Hare Hare (Hare Krishna, Hare Krishna, Hare Krishna, Hare Krishna, The H is read as J de jouta).
