THE REAL ANTISYSTEM

The real antisystem, by Javier Figuerola or Haripada dasa
Everyone thinks that I am this body and that the goal of life is to satisfy my senses to the fullest, the real anti-system for this is that I am not the body but an eternal spiritual soul, and that the mission of human life is Know God or Krishna and go back to God.
No one believes in God, that is why it is said that the only God who does not have atheists is money, the real anti-system for this is to fulfill the vow of initiate and sing every day at least 27,648 Holy Names of God. This with practice takes an hour and a half to two.
Everybody has sex like dogs, pigs, camels and asses, the real anti-system for this is celibacy, the result of practicing celibacy is that one has a lot of body shine, health, a lot of memory and longevity.
To forget the suffering or to quench sorrows everyone drinks alcohol and drugs, and we are quite intoxicated by being in contact with matter, the real anti-system for this is to take only mineral water.
Everyone covets money and that's why everyone practices gambling, the real anti-system for this is getting used to depend on God, after all everyone has what they deserve.
Almost everyone eats meat, fish and eggs, the real anti-system for this is to have a vegetarian diet, personally I have been using this diet since 1983 and I do not know what it is to be 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 anti-system for this is to clean the anus with water, it is cleaner than the mouth, in India everyone does that.
On politics, I am fully convinced that the basis of material policy is that the members of our political party are our friends and members of the other political parties are our enemies, what is the cause of this philosophy? Ignorance and envy, how is it possible for citizens to derive some benefit from people full of ignorance and envy? If political leaders or state executives are only interested in themselves, they will never be able to look after the welfare of citizens. In Srimad Bhagavatam, 2, 3, 19 defines these politicians as donkeys, the atheistic and materialistic politician becomes entangled in many illusory occupations to elevate the position of others, as leader of political emancipation and economic development. There is nothing wrong with trying to achieve political emancipation or economic development, but one should not forget the true purpose of life, all those philanthropic activities must be coupled for return to God. It is also said in The Srimad Bhagavatam that one who is not a pure devotee of God can not have good qualities. Srila Prabhupada always said that those who fear these infernal politicians take refuge in the process of Krishna consciousness. Another point that we have to understand is that to know and love God the person must be pure and sinless, sinful people only understand that suffering is happiness.

THE ISKCON AS IT IS


The Iskcon as it is, by Haripada dasa
The Iskcon as it is consists of people who with much enthusiasm and determination have decided to put their words, actions and thoughts to please Srila Prabhupada. They have full faith and are very convinced that if they please Srila Prabhupada, then Krishna will be pleased with them, and their return home, their return to God is more than guaranteed.
THE SLOGANS OF ISKCON AS IS AS WE ARE: WE WANT TO NECTAR, THE TRUTH WILL MAKE YOU FREE, IT WILL ALWAYS BE BETTER TO PRAY THAT TO CRITICIZE, THE ONLY WAY TO ELIMINATE THE MALDAD IN PERSONAL AND COLLECTIVE LEVEL, IS THROUGH GOODNESS, THAT DOES NOT LIVE TO SERVE, IT DOES NOT SERVE TO LIVE AND PEACE AND WELL. MALDAD WILL WIN AS THE GOOD PEOPLE DO NOT DO ANYTHING TO PREVENT IT.
To Iskcon as it is he does not like to criticize anyone, in relation to this, Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Saraswati Maharaja Prabhupada, said: "That others do what they want, it does not concern me, I already have much work purifying my damned mind". The Bhakti plant feeds on NECAR, not on rare stories, gossip, etc. We have very definite spiritual ideals, try to follow all the instructions given in the books by Srila Prabhupada, and we help others to do the same, in doing this we live with Srila Prabhupada and acquire his qualities. Our LOVE and SERVICE is for Srila Prabhupada, and we have full faith that Srila Prabhupada is the person who will take us back home, back to Krishna.
The Iskcon as it is is nourished spiritually with these 6 transcendental activities:
1.- Offer gifts as charity, 2.- Accept charitable gifts, 3.- Reveal the mind confidentially, 4.- Ask confidentially, 5.- Accept prasada and 6.- Offer prasada.
The 10 philosophical points that the Iskcon accepts as it is are:
1.- We are not interested in the opinions of an ordinary person, ordinary people have four types of defects, the first defect is that it tends to make mistakes, another defect is to be in illusion, the third defect is the propensity to deceive and finally Our senses are imperfect. Any opinion other than revealed truth is devoid of any value, revealed truth means, truth, or writing that comes from a reliable source, the chain of disciplic succession formed by genuine spiritual masters is the reliable source; Since these people are self-realized and pure souls, and are free from the four defects mentioned above.
2. God or Krishna, the beautiful reality, is the source of everything.
3. God or Krishna, the Supreme Being, is the master of all powers and energies.
4. God or Krishna, is the ocean and the personification of all spiritual mellows; There are five kinds of transcendental mellows, one is the passive melosity, the other is the mellow of service, the third mellow is that of friendship, the fourth is the parental and maternal mellows and the last mellow is the conjugal.
5. The spiritual soul, that is, we are not a direct part of God or Krishna, but separate parts of the Supreme Lord. Spiritual souls are the innumerable living entities, all infinitesimal spiritual sparks. Spiritual souls are of two kinds: a) Eternally conditioned and b) Eternally liberated, they populate both the material and spiritual planets.
6. The sixth teaching notes how the conditioned spiritual soul falls in love with the dazzling illusory power of ignorance. She has forgotten God or Krishna and remains eternally bound in this phenomenal world, enjoying material existence.
7. The eternally liberated souls are eternal associates of God or Krishna, they reside in the spiritual world and enjoy spiritual loving relationships with God or Krishna, the source of all pleasure.
8. Everything material or spiritual comes from God or Krishna. Spiritual souls and matter, both are transformations of the energy of God or Krishna. Everything is part of God or Krishna and has something in common with Him and something different from Him. This is inconceivable.
9. The only way to attain pure devotion to God or Krishna is devotional service. The nine members of devotional service are: 1) Listen to the name and glories of the Supreme Personality of Godhead. 2) Sing your glories. 3) Remember the Lord. 4) Serve at the Lord's feet. 5) Worship the deity of the Lord. 6) Offer obeisances to the Lord. 7) Act as a servant of the Lord. 8) Make friends with the Lord and 9) Deliver completely to the Lord. The chanting of the Holy Name is the most important devotional activity. The sacred writings have many volumes that describe the glories of the Holy Name.
10. The tenth teaching gives us the understanding that the supreme goal of life is DIVINE LOVE, pure love for GOD or KRISHNA. Sometimes people complain that there is a lot of crisis and I tell them that the only crisis there is is LOVE FOR GOD, and people say, "You are absolutely right."
The authoritative source of these ten philosophical points have been extracted from the Hari Nama Chintamani of Srila Bhaktivinoda Thakura.
Everyone is welcome to the Iskcon as it is, only the insane and the lazy have no place (a madman is a person who does not believe in God and a lazy person is a person who does not like to cook). Here there is no place for opportunists or to climb posts, here we are all friends and humble servants of one another, we are all friends and spiritual brothers and sisters, and the one who has the most capacity to serve we accept as a natural leader. Here they all sing their 16 rounds without offenses of the Maha Mantra Hare Krishna, they all follow the 4 regulative principles very strictly, they all sing the three gayatris daily, they all follow the Ekadasis, the Chaturmasya, Kartika Vrata, the appearances and disappearances of the Supreme Lord and Their devotees, all avoid the bad association and are always happy and eager to associate with the serious and sincere devotees of Srila Prabhupada, always carry the tilaka marks on their body, always have Srila Prabhupada in the center of their lives and help The people to put Srila Prabhupada at the center of their lives and every day read in the morning and at night the books of Srila Prabhupada, they only eat Krishna prasada, food offered to Srila Prabhupada, Sri Gauranga Mahaprabhu and Sri Krishna, The Supreme Personality of Godhead. Here everyone obeys the instructions given by Srila Prabhupada in his books on how we should use our earned wealth VERY ARDUALLY, Srila Prabhupada sets the example of Srila Rupa Goswami, when he withdrew from service to the Muslim government and surrendered to the lotus feet of Sri Gauranga Mahaprabhu divided his wealth into three parts.1-50 percent gave it to the Brahmanas and Vaisnavas, 25 percent to their relatives and the other 25 percent to personal emergencies, by practicing this creates a transcendental atmosphere and Selfishness is destroyed. Here nobody speculates, we understand and accept that a person is speculating, when he does things in a capricious way without leaning on GURU, SADHU and SASTRA. In the Iskcon as it is only the original books of Srila Prabhupada are used, we are totally against all the changes that have made to the original books of Srila Prabhupada.
In the Iskcon as it is we have full faith that Srila Prabhupada is the way, the truth and the life, and if someone goes back home to God or Krishna, it is by the mercy of Srila Prabhupada.
May the Jagat-guru, the Savior of the Fallen, Saktyavesa Avatara, MOR SENA PATI, THE COMMANDER IN BOSS OF THE SPIRITUAL FORCES OF SRI GAURANGA MAHAPRABHU, HIS DIVINE GRACE ABHAY CHARANARAVINDA BHAKTIVEDANTA SWAMI PRABHUPADA bless and protect you all.

Vedic Explanation of Solar/ Lunar Eclipses

Vedic Explanation of Solar/ Lunar Eclipses

The movements of Rāhu cause both solar and lunar eclipses
It appears from these verses that aside from the sun and moon,
there is an invisible planet called Rāhu. The movements of Rāhu
cause both solar and lunar eclipses
Solar Eclipses are NOT Caused by the Moon
On solar/ lunar eclipses what people usuly do, including the so called scientists, is look up in the sky and see what is happening there, but they have no idea how the things are actually working. What they do is they make a speculative theory and test the theory with what they observe and if the theory predicts what they observe they accept that theory and gradually they forget it is just a theory and start stating it as a fact.
That solar eclipses are caused by the moon (or shadow) coming in front of the sun is nothing but a speculative theory only. So called scientists do not know this for a fact. They just presume this is what is happening. And in this case their speculative theory does seem to be be a good possible explanation of what is happening.
But they have no actual information. All they can see is something like a dark planet coming in front of the sun, they presume it is the moon or the shadow. But it can not be the moon if it is dark since the moon has light and illumination. If it is the moon it will be like in a spotlight of reflection from the earth, so it will be illuminated and all the features of the moon will be clearly visible at the time of the eclipse.
So you can test it yourself on the 21st. Observe the eclipse, if during totality all the features of the moon are clearly visible then this is compatible with the theory that the moon is coming in front of the sun, however if the sun just goes dark then it can not be the moon coming in front of the sun. So observe yourself, if the moon is dark during the eclipse then you have proved that all the scientists in the world are totally wrong about the cause of solar eclipses. This is the scientific process, test the theory and if it fails reject the theory and find a new theory.
In USA (from my location in the Pacific Northwest of USA) millions of foolish people will  gaze thru their “special glasses” at the solar eclipse. In some towns people are driving in from thouands of miles away just to view this “event”. They want to have a party while the sun is eclipsed by Rahu the demon who had his head cut off by Lord Vishnu.
Even with ordinary common sense, if the suns rays, which gives life to the entire solar system is being blocked, one should think-how can this be good?? But because these foolish people are being guided by equally or more ignorant people (the so called scientists) their misfortune only increases. And worse still here in the USA  President Trump has his ascendent (rising degree) fall on the solar eclipse date. Here below is what one professional  devotee astrologer has to say:
“…Yes, the August 20-21 date coincides with the total solar eclipse that falls exactly on the ascendant (rising degree) of Trump’s chart. Already his entire administration is unraveling, yet the impact of the eclipse will be severe on him and he may have some kind of health crisis, or at least a complete and thorough meltdown of his presidency.  This isn’t something that happens very often, and in fact this is the only time it will ever happen in Trump’s life. By the end of the year, he may not be president anymore. It is said that the chart of the President, is a proxy for all the people of the country. So whatever happens to him, will have far-reaching negative outcomes on people in general. I see this happening anytime from Monday the 21st, and up to the following 6 months. ..”
PURPORT–According to the Jyotir-veda,(vedic astrology) the Rāhu planet comes in front of the full moon, and thus a lunar eclipse takes place. It is customary in India that all the followers of the Vedic scriptures bathe in the Ganges or the sea as soon as there is a lunar or solar eclipse. All strict followers of Vedic religion stand up in the water throughout the whole period of the eclipse and chant the Hare Kṛṣṇa mahā-mantra. At the time of the birth of Lord Caitanya Mahāprabhu such a lunar eclipse took place, and naturally all the people standing in the water were chanting Hare Kṛṣṇa, Hare Kṛṣṇa, Kṛṣṇa Kṛṣṇa, Hare Hare Hare Rāma, Hare Rāma, Rāma Rāma, Hare Hare. (CC/adi/13/92)
According to Vedic Astronomy, the most ancient and accurate system of astronomy on the planet, solar eclipses are not caused by the Moon coming in front of the Sun as astronomers believe. Rather the Moon is described as being further away than the Sun and what happens at the time of a solar eclipse is the Moon goes behind the Sun and a dark planet called Rahu comes between the Sun and the Earth. Considering this, Rāhu, the black planet, covered the full moon, and immediately vibrations of “Kṛṣṇa! Kṛṣṇa! Hari!” inundated the three worlds.

BLESSINGS

Blessings, by Javier Figuerola or Haripada dasa
In relation to the blessings, Srila Prabhupada always told a very interesting story, once a Spiritual Master walked with his disciples, and in the course of the walk gave different blessings to several people, first they met with a King, and the Master Spiritual told him that I bless you to live, but do not die .... later on they met a butcher, and the Spiritual Master told him that I bless you not to live and not to die .... Then they met with a Pure devotee of God or Krishna and the Spiritual Master told you that you are the same as living and dying, hearing these blessings the disciples did not understand them and told the Spiritual Master to please explain the blessings and the Spiritual Master said That the King lives but does not die means that now that he is King, the opulence that God has given him instead of using it to serve God and His devotees, is using it for his gratification of his For that reason, live, but do not die because when you die you will have to spend a lot of time in hell, then the butcher you do not live or die, it means that this person his life is a hell, always cutting meat, his Hands full of blood, and when I die more hell, and the pure devotee of God or Krishna I said that you are the same as living and that you die, because living you are living with God or Krishna always, and when you die you will continue to live with God or Krishna And His devotees in the spirit world. A great Spiritual Master always said that he wrongly says that the devotees of God or Krishna die, they die to live, and living are always expanding the glories of God or Krishna and His devotees.
Nowadays there is no interest in knowing God and loving Him, people have very few reserves of pious activities from their past lives, from the time they get up until they go to bed they only do sinful activities, so their brain is full of cow droppings, Do not understand the simplest truths of life, there is only gratification of the senses, a demonic principle, the symptom that one has an interest in spiritual life is that he asks spiritual questions, for example what and who am I, why I do not want Suffer and suffer, what and who is God, how can I purify my existence, what awaits me after death, etc., when a person asks himself these questions he is said to be conscious of God, the problem is pride, one thinks I know everything, nobody is above me, I am the maximum, because of his pride that person will never learn from anyone, only the humble person learns from everyone.

MOST AMAZING

Most amazing, by Javier Figuerola or Haripada dasa
Once a great sage asked King Maharaja Yudisthir what is the most amazing there is, and the King replied that you see relatives, friends and other people die, but you think I will never die. Usually people do not like to talk about death because they are very afraid, it is said that the devotee of God or Krishna experiences God through devotional service and that materialists and atheists experience God at the time of death , I remember a video of Srila Prabhupada talking to some theologians and Srila Prabhupada telling them that God will come as death, and all his money, his prestige, his family, etc. God or Krishna says in Bhagavatha Gita that I am death, I remember that in the fourth song of The Srimad Bhagavatam Maharaja Dhruva came for him a plane of the spiritual world and taking advantage of Which came the personification of death, put his feet on the head of death to board the plane, so even death is pleased to serve the devotee of God or Krishna, it is very interesting that the personification of death is the Represent as a skeleton with a harvest, that is to remind us that what you sow, harvests, in other words each person is the architect of their destiny, each has what it deserves, and God or Krishna also says that this material world is A place of suffering and temporary, someone can argue that I have a lot of money, women, material enjoyment, yachts, etc., you have it because you deserve it because surely in your past life you performed many pious activities, but n Or forget that everything is temporary. God or Krishna has created everything, therefore everything is from God or Krishna, as Srila Prabhupada always said that a person is honest and honest when he uses everything to serve God or Krishna and His devotees.
The process of the consciousness of God or Krishna is a scientific process, and it is for very brave people who want to raise their consciousness to a higher state, unfortunately today people think that the things of God or Krishna have already gone out of style , Now we are going to live full of lust, anger, greed, envy, pride and ignorance, and we will suffer and be deceived, that is true happiness, and out of envy criticize and say that devotees of God or Krishna are parasites of The Hare Krishna, Krishna Krishna, Hare Hare / Hare Rama, Hare Rama, Rama Rama, Hare Hare (the H is read as J Of jota), it is said that in the paradise of the fools and ignorant, being a wise is a great nonsense.

BHRIGUJI PHAL RAM NAVAMI ( APRIL 2017 )

I share this message sent to me by the best astrologer in the world, named Nalini Kantha.
Bhriguji phal  Ram Navami (april 2017)
Sri Shukraji , with folded hands, asked of Maharaja Bhrgu, "For everyone's welfare and benefit, and to help them overcome internal enemies, illness, pains, feelings of happiness and distress, and to destroy the demons from which mankind suffers---would You kindly give your holy words of protection to frightened humanity?"
Maharishi Bhriguji replied: "In Chaitra mas (month), waxing Moon phase, after the 8th tithi, betwween Monday and Tuesday and under Punarvasu nakshatra---this planetary yoga is calld jagmangalakari (doing good for the whole universe).  See Shukra, until mankind calls out, in full surrender, to the Supreme Lord, they will always be surrounded by such enemies and in fear.
And besides realizing God, he has to think of his self within.  Atma jnana is most important.  The atma IS free from hankering and lamentation, and IS detached; but according to destiny, the soul is embodied.  After death, if we have kept even the smallest desire, we will take another body; thus one must always remember what may happen after death.
Wealth, youth, beauty, power, respect, and strength---when death approaches, these all become meaningless.  So, don't waste your life endeavoring for such things.  When you do acquire them, you may become arrogant and proud and your soul's progress will be blocked.  Life here is unpredictable; be like a lotus, which is always calm, though in the water.  Keep yourself in a peaceful state of happiness.
When you call out to the Supreme Lord earnestly, then all enemies, internal and external, leave the body.   Mankind swayed by worldly things becomes beaten down and desperate; the mind becomes cluttered and afflicted by these thoughts.  The mind is searching for a favorable condition, but becomes overwhelmed by worldliness even though searching for a better state.
One must call out to the Lord!  Accept the dualities of material nature, and move forward.  It has never happened that everything will be just as we desire here. Seek the shelter of the Lotus Feet of Lord Hari, and by His mercy, transcend duality.  Always seek this mercy in a mood of full surrender, and continually endeavor to rid yourself of faults.  Be focused on surrender, and nothing else.  Get rid of false ego and pull out the roots of desire and of anarthas.
On this auspicious day of Lord Rama's appearance, continually glorify Him.  Be doing this japa, you will destroy all misdeeds (papa-karmas).  Take a vow to do this; plead that He accepts you as a surrendered soul.  Softly and innocently, call out to Him----then we will become fearless, even of death.  Always be in saranagati, surrendered to His Lotus Feet.  This is the path of progress.
Now a time is coming which can cauze a lot of pain, misery; with increased cancer, heart disease and diseases of liver and of blood.  For this, I give a divine ausadhi.....
take 1 tsp giloya, with 11 dried yellow Chameli flowers (or 11 leaves of chameli); add juice from 27 tulasi leaves; mix in gold water, dipped 54 times.  Take during brahma-muhurtha on Tuesdays and Saturdays for the whole year.  Donate channa dhal on Tuesday  Chant one hour daily the victory mantra, "Sri Rama, Jaya Rama, Jaya Jaya Ram; Sri Rama, Jaya Rama, Jaya Jaya Rama."
And every day, take giloya (guduchi) in any form.
(Bhrguji then went into a description of the main events of the next year in India.   For the USA, he only mentioned, that after a long, hard struggle, he sees the possibility of a Hillary Clinton comeback).

ORGANIZED RELIGION

Organized Religion
by Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Saraswati Thakur



Sri Krishna manifests His eternal birth, the pure cognitive essence of the serving soul who is located above all mundane limitations. King Kamsa [the demon king who wanted to kill Lord Krishna] is the typical empiricist, ever on the lookout for the appearance of the truth for the purpose of suppressing Him before He has time to develop. This is no exaggeration of the real connotation of the consistent empiric position. The materialist has a natural repugnance for the transcendent. He is disposed to link that faith in the incomprehensible is the parent of dogmatism and hypocrisy in the guise of religion. He is also equally under the delusion that there is no real dividing line between the material and the spiritual. He is strengthened in his delusion by the interpretation of scriptures by persons who are like-minded with himself. This includes all the lexicographic interpreters.
 
The lexicographical interpretation is upheld by Kamsa as the real scientific explanation of the scriptures, and is perfectly in keeping with his dread of and aversion for the transcendental. These lexicographical interpreters are employed by Kamsa in putting down the first suspected appearance of any genuine faith in the transcendental. King Kamsa knows very well that if the faith in the transcendental is once allowed to grow it is
sure to upset all his empiric prospects.
 
There is historical ground for such misgivings. Accordingly, if the empiric domination is to be preserved in tact it would be necessary not to lose a moment to put down the transcendental heresy the instant it threatens to make its appearance in earnest. King Kamsa, acting on this traditional fear, is never slow to take the scientific precaution of deputing empiric teachers of the scriptures, backed by the resources of dictionary and grammar and all empiric subtleties to put down, by the show of specious arguments based on hypothetical principles, the true interpretation of the eternal religion revealed by the scriptures.
Kamsa is strongly persuaded that faith in the transcendental can be effectively put down by empiricism if prompt and decisive measures are adopted at the very outset. He attributes the failure of atheism in the past to the neglect of the adoption of such measures before the theistic fallacy has had time to spread among the fanatical masses.
 
But Kamsa is found to count without his host. When Krishna is born, He is found to be able to upset all sinister designs against those who are apprized by Himself of His advent. The apparently causeless faith displayed by persons irrespective of age, sex and condition may confound all rabid empiricists who are on principle adverse to the Absolute Truth Whose appearance is utterly incompatible with the domination of empiricism.
 
But no adverse efforts of the empiricists whose rule seems till then to be perfectly well-established over the minds of the deluded souls of this world can dissuade any person from exclusively following the Truth when He actually manifests His birth in the pure cognitive essence of the soul.
 
Putana [the demoness who tried to kill Krishna] is the slayer of all infants. The baby, when he or she comes out of the mother's womb, falls at once into the hands of the pseudo-teachers of religion. These teachers are successful in forestalling the attempts of the good preceptor whose help is never sought by the atheists of this world at the baptism of their babies. This is ensured by the arrangements of all established churches of the world. They have been successful only in supplying watchful Putanas for effecting the spiritual destruction of persons from the moment of their birth with cooperation of their worldly parents. No human contrivance can prevent these Putanas from obtaining possession of their pulpits. This is due to the general prevalence of atheistic disposition in the people of this world.
 
The church that has the best chance of survival in this damned world is that of atheism under the convenient guise of theism. The churches have always proved the staunchest upholders of the grossest form of worldliness from which even the worst of non-ecclesiastical criminals are found to recoil.
 
It is not from any deliberate opposition to the ordained clergy that these observations are made. The original purpose of the established churches of the world may not always be objectionable. But no stable religious arrangement for instructing the masses has yet been successful. The Supreme Lord Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu, in pursuance of the teachings of the scriptures enjoins all absence of conventionalism for the teachers of the eternal religion. It does not follow that the mechanical adoption of the unconventional life by any person will make him a fit teacher of religion. Regulation is necessary for controlling the inherent worldliness of conditioned souls.
 
But no mechanical regulation has any value, even for such a purpose. The bona-fide teacher of religion is neither any product of, nor the favourer of, any mechanical system. In his hands, no system has likewise the chance of denigrating into a lifeless arrangement. The mere pursuit of fixed doctrines and fixed liturgies cannot hold a person to the true spirit of doctrine or liturgy.
 
The idea of an organized church in an intelligible form, indeed, marks the close of the living spiritual movement. The great ecclesiastical establishments are the dikes and dams to retain the current that cannot be held by any such contrivances. They, indeed, indicate a desire on the part of the masses to exploit a spiritual movement for their own purpose. They also unmistakably indicate the end of the absolute and unconventional guidance of the bona-fide spiritual teacher. The people of this world understand preventive systems, they have no idea at all of the unprevented positive eternal life. Neither can there be any earthy contrivance for the permanent preservation of the life eternal on this mundane plane on the popular scale.
 
Those are, therefore, greatly mistaken who are disposed to look forward to the amelioration of the worldly state in any worldly sense from the worldly success of any really spiritual movement. It is these worldly expectants who become the patrons of the mischievous race of the pseudo-teachers of religion, the Putanas, whose congenial function is to stifle the theistic disposition at the very moment of its suspected appearance. But the theistic disposition can never be stifled by the efforts of those Putanas. The Putanas have power only over the atheist. It is a thankless but salutary task which they perform for the benefit of their unwilling victims.
 
But as soon as theistic disposition proper makes its appearance in the pure cognitive essence of the awakened soul, the Putanas are decisively silenced at the very earliest stage of their encounter with the new-born Krishna. The would-be slayer of herself slain. This is the reward of the negative services that the Putanas unwittingly render to the cause of theism by strangling all hypocritical demonstrations against their own hypocrisy.
 
But Putana does not at all like to receive her reward in only form which involves the total destruction of her wrong personality. King Kamsa also does not like to lose the services of the most trusted of his agents. The effective silencing of the whole race of pseudo-teachers of religion is the first clear indication of the appearance of the Absolute on the mundane plane. The bona-fide teacher of the Absolute, heralds the Advent of Krishna by his uncompromising campaign against the pseudo-teachers of religion.
 

LETTER TO SRILA PRABHUPADA

Letter to Srila Prabhupada, by Javier Figuerola o Haripada dasa
On August 16 we celebrate the Transcendental Appearance of Srila Prabhupada, all the devotees we serve and love Srila Prabhupada we make a letter called the letter of Vyasa Puja, Vyasadeva is a literary incarnation of God or Krishna, He wrote all the Vedic literature , The Bhagavad-gita, the Srimad-bhagavatam, the Mahabharata, etc., and the birthday of our spiritual master is called the day of Vyasa Puja, on this day the spiritual master is glorified and thanked for all his mercy , All this spiritual knowledge that Vyasadeva gave us is transmitted from the guru to the disciple through the chain of disciplic succession, all those truths are eternal and never change, so Srila Prabhupada always said that the philosophy of Krishna consciousness is very easy , Because we do not have to invent anything, we just have to repeat what the previous spiritual masters said.
Thanks to Srila Prabhupada we have found the Truth and the Truth will set you free. Thanks to Srila Prabhupada we have come out of ignorance, which is the cause of all suffering. Thanks to Srila Prabhupada we have understood the purpose of human life, to understand and love God or Krishna, and since there is only God or Krishna and His energies, in doing this in a natural way one loves everyone and everything. Thanks to Srila Prabhupada we have understood that this material world is full of envy and is not a place for a gentleman, here are only deceivers and deceived. Thanks to Srila Prabhupada we hope to return home with God and Krishna and His devotees, and the experience of being in this material world will be a bad nightmare. Thanks to Srila Prabhupada we have understood that we are not the material body, but eternal spiritual souls, eternal loving servants of God or Krishna and His devotees. Thanks to Srila Prabhupada we are no longer a ship without a rudder, now Srila Prabhupada is the person we most trust and love the most. If Srila Prabupada had not come, it would have been us.

THE WITNESSES

The witnesses, by Javier Figuerola or Haripada dasa
I share this beautiful verse of Srimad-Bhagavatam, 6, 1, 42 which says that Sun, fire, sky, air, demigods, moon, afternoon, day, night, directions, water , The earth and the Supersoul itself witness the activities of the living entity.
Meaning of Srila Prabhupada
Members of some religious groups, especially Christians, do not believe in the reactions of karma. Once we had an argument with a very learned Christian teacher; He argued that, in order to punish someone, it is normal that witnesses should first be questioned of their misdeeds, and then he asked: where are the responsible witnesses that we suffer the reactions of past karma? In this verse, the yamadūtas or lords of death, respond. The conditioned soul believes that he can act slyly, without anyone seeing his sinful activities, but the śāstras or Holy Scriptures tell us that there are many witnesses, among whom are the Sun, fire, sky, air, moon, Demigods, the afternoon, the day, the night, the directions, the water, the earth and the same Supersoul, accompanying the individual soul in his heart. Do you need more witnesses? There are witnesses, and there is also the Supreme Lord; That is why so many living entities rise to the higher planetary systems or degrade to lower planetary systems, even reaching the infernal planets. There is no inconsistency, for the Supreme God organizes and arranges everything perfectly. (End of the meaning of Srila Prabhuada).
The most absurd thing in this world is that people think that we can do what we want and that nothing is going to happen to us. There are laws made by men and there are laws made by God or Krishna, laws made by men are imperfect and those made by God or Krishna are perfect, for example if you kill an ant or a fly, in the laws of Men do not pass, but in the laws of God or Krishna you will have to have a karmic reaction to do that.
