Devotees save us

Devotees save us, by Haripada dasa

Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Saraswati Prabhupada called his disciples those who saved me from danger, in October 1972 Srila Prabhupada gave talks at the Sri Radha Damodara in Vrindavan, there he said that the spiritual master should be treated as Hari, the Supreme Person, but the spiritual master does not think that he is Hari, although he is offered the same respect as Hari, he should think that he is a humble servant of Hari and of all, a spiritual master thinks of his disciples as if they were his spiritual teachers, that is the position, he must think that Krishna has sent him many spiritual teachers, he does not think of himself as a spiritual master, he thinks he is a servant, because they must be trained, Krishna has named him as the one who he will train, therefore he must think that he is the servant of his disciples. Here we see the great humility of Srila Prabhupada, that is the difference between a spiritual master authorized by Krishna and another who is not authorized, but who becomes a guru by artificial means. All false gurus and their followers are a society of deceivers and deceived.

In Bhakti yoga the principle is faith, faith means the full conviction that by chanting the Maha-mantra: Hare Krishna, Hare Krishna, Krishna Krishna, Hare Hare / Hare Rama, Hare Rama, Rama Rama, Hare Hare will automatically fulfill all the duties and will complete all the pious activities, then the second step is the association with the devotees, by associating with serious and sincere devotees the faith increases, I take advantage of to thank all the devotees who are helping me that if Krishna wants to take sannyasa , the devotees relate with love and trust through these 6 transcendental activities: 1.- Offer gifts as charity, 2.- Accept charitable gifts, 3.- Reveal the mind in a confidential way, 4.- Ask confidentially, 5. - Accept prasada and 6.- Offer prasada (Upadesamrita, verse 4), if the devotees, as I said in the previous message, were united, we could make a group of devout experts in the books of Srila Prabhupada to On philosophical questions and thus remove the doubts of others, living without doubts is very ecstatic and pleasant, for example I ask that in the Bhagavad Gita, 4, 42 Srila Prabhupada says that a spiritual master is in the disciplic succession from eternal time , what does that mean?

Have a happy RAMA NAVAMI 2018
