The truths of life, by Haripada dasa
Srila Lochana dasa thakura wrote a book about the pastimes of Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu entitled Sri Chaitanya Mangala, in this book there is a conversation of Sri Chaitanya with his wife Sri Visnupriya before He took sannyasa or the life of the renounced order, thanks to that conversation we understand and accept the truths of life: "Seeing the enthusiasm of Mahaprabhu for taking sannyasa, said Vishnupirya," he said, his voice choking with emotion: "Tell me, oh Prananatha, Lord of my life, are you going to take sannyasa? I have heard this rumor circulating among people, on hearing this, my heart is broken, if it is true, I will enter the fire.You are the treasure of my life.Your beautiful form is always refreshing and youthful. to leave everything and go? If I am deprived of your association, I will give up my life for drinking poison. "Hearing the pitiful words of lamentation spoken by Vishnupriya devi, Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu smiled a little and said the following uiente: "Listen, oh you who are more dear as life itself, please, do not be in any anxiety, there is no need to worry, what I am going to say is for your own benefit, please listen to me with attention, with all your mind tries to see that in this world it is all false, the only truth is God or Krishna and His devotees, and everything else is all illusion, to know this is a fact, children, wives, husbands, ladies, fathers, mothers, and everything else, all these relationships are illusory, temporary and transitory. In the course of life we ​​have a set of children, wives, husbands, mothers and fathers, and in our next life these change. Apart from the lotus feet of God or Krishna and His devotees, we have no real family. Everything else we see as our family is an illusion of maya, what we see as man and woman is unreal. Under the surface of all souls is the spiritual energy, the relationship between men and women is an illusory connection of maya. Sri Krishna is the true husband of all, He is the teacher. Everything else is material, but unfortunately this is not understood by people in general. The souls are incorporated into a mixture of semen and blood from which it is born in a body composed of faeces and urine. In this way the soul moves on the earth in ignorance. From childhood to youth and old age, we suffer different miseries, while thinking that this body as our true self. Absorbed in the false ego, we make friends, enemies, etc., and we suffer until we reach old age. Even in hearing the truth, however, even our eyes are blind, and while our suffering in the material world makes us cry, we never worship God or Krishna and His devotees. Abandoning the service of Krishna, we keep these bodies in the material world of birth and death, trapped in the slavery of maya. Crazy of false ego we have forgotten our Lord, and therefore we make sure our passage to hell. Your name is Vishnupriya, however you have to fulfill the real meaning of Vishnupriya, and do not lament for what is false. Remembering what I have said here, put your fears at a distance, and always think of Krishna within your heart, day and night. "
Srila Prabhupada always said that people's problems are that they are not afraid of ignorance, they have no faith in the Sacred Revealed Scriptures and the person who lives full of lust, anger and greed will never be happy.

Innocent people

Innocent people, by Haripada dasa

In Srila Prabhupada's books, he tells us that an innocent person means that he is not an atheist, he is a believer, but he is not very advanced in the spiritual life. Spiritual life means to please God or Krishna and His devotees and material life means, to please oneself, "Me and mine". Let's analyze the situation, at one extreme are people with demonic tendencies, at the other extreme are people with divine tendencies, and in the middle are the innocent. When human society is directed by demonic people, the innocent follow them and acquire their tendencies. When human society is directed by divine persons, the innocent follow them and acquire divine qualities. The desires, aspirations and qualities of one are developed according to the company one keeps, or in other words, "tell me who you are with and I will tell you who you are."

The problem is that people are very lazy for the spiritual life, and another great impediment is that many deceiving people, it is said that finding a pure devotee of God or Krishna is more difficult than throwing a turtle to the ocean and a lifesaver and that the turtle comes out and puts his head on the lifesaver, Srila Prabhupada has already had all the success, he at the end of his preface to the Bhagavad Gita says that if we are able to make a person become a pure devotee of Krishna our entire mission it will have been a success, his beloved disciple Jayananda prabhu practicing Krishna consciousness 10 years with great sincerity and seriousness he became a pure devotee of Krishna, and when he left the body Srila Prabhupada said that he was with Krishna in Goloka Vrindavana. What a great truth it is that if one obeys the instructions given by Srila Prabhupada one will live with Srila Prabhupada.

Your eternal well-wisher

Your eternal well-wisher, by Haripada dasa
Srila Prabhupada answered more than 7,000 letters to his disciples and admirers, under the letters always put your eternal well-wisher A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami. The relationship of the representative of God or Krishna or authorized guru with his disciples is eternal, if the disciple offends and does not obey the instructions of his guru, there the relationship is broken, and if the disciple repents of his offenses to his guru and a serious, sincere way, full of love and devotion returns to serve your guru, the relationship is again established. The coming of Srila Prabhupada is prophesied many times, 500 years ago a book was written entitled Sri Caitanya Mangala of Srila Lochana dasa thakura, it is said there that Narada Muni was in the spiritual world speaking with Sri Gauranga Mahaprabhu, and He said that now I will descend to the material world to flood all of India with love of God, all will sing the Hare Krishna Maha-Mantra, Hare Krishna, Krishna Krishna, Hare Hare / Hare Rama, Hare Rama, Rama Rama, Hare Hare, then Narada Muni will He asked and what will happen to the people who live outside India, and Sri Gauranga Mahaprabhu replied that in due time I will send my mor sena pathi, my commander-in-chief of my Spiritual forces, and he will flood the whole world with the chant of the Hare Krishna maha mantra. When Srila Prabhupada was born the astrologer made some very special predictions, he said that this child when he is 70 years old will leave India to re-establish the universal religion in the whole world, open more than 100 temples and his books will be the law books for all the humanity for the next 10,000 years. Srila Bhaktivinoda Thakura predicted that a very special soul will soon come to realize the verse of Sri Chaitanya Charitamrita which says that the Hare Krishna maha mantra will be sung in every village and village in this world. Once I saw a video of Nostradamus, there he said that an old man from the East would come with a cane and establish the universal religion.
Srila Prabhupada is the Jagat guru, the guru of the universe, the guru of all, no one can say that he has the monopoly of Srila Prabhupada, the people who think that Srila Prabhupada is the guru of some people and not the Jagat guru is because they have feelings sectarian and separatist, Srila Prabhupada says in the prologue to the teachings of Lord Chaitanya, that He declared that partisan sentiments and sectarianism were the two great enemies of spiritual progress, and in Srimad Bhagavatam, 9, 11, 23 Srila Prabhupada says that in the material world, everyone feels envious of others, even in religious life we ​​sometimes see that, if a devotee has advanced in spiritual activities, other devotees envy him. My conclusion is that finding a person who is free from envy is very difficult.

The truth about the guru

The truth about the guru, by Haripada dasa
Srila Prabhupada always said that a guru or spiritual master is the authorized representative of God or Krishna or the faithful servant of God or Krishna, in Srimad Bhagavatam, 4, 8, 54 it is said that one should receive initiation from a genuine guru belonging to the disciplic succession and that has been authorized by the spiritual master who preceded him, and in chapter 14 of the Nectar of devotion Srila Prabhupada says that there are people who are not duly authorized and become gurus to have followers and riches, that service does not it is of high degree, those people deceive themselves and others, and in Chaitanya Charitamrita, Madhya-lila, 15, 108 Srila Prabhupada says that as long as we are not initiated by a bona fide spiritual master all our devotional activities are useless, and that person can descend back to the animal species.
Srila Prabhupada's guru ordered Srila Prabhupada to go to Western countries to preach Krishna consciousness, Srila Prabhupada arrived in the USA in 1965, he was 69 years old, in 12 years Srila Prabhupada initiated more than 10,000 disciples, gave him 14 times around the world giving lectures and preaching Krishna consciousness, opened more than 100 temples and agricultural farms, translated from Sanskrit and Bengali into English all the spiritual classics of India, and published 80 books of 400 pages each one, all over the world more than 500 million of his books have been distributed, I share some chronological events about the truth of the guru in Srila Prabhupada's movement, in a conversation on April 22, 1977 Srila Prabhupada said that none of his disciples were Qualified to be a guru, in a conversation on May 28, 1977 Srila Prabhupada said that he would appoint some of his oldest disciples to be ritviks or their representatives and will initiate on his behalf, on July 9, 1977 Srila Prabhupada sent a letter to all his temples saying that from now on his disciples named there should initiate in his name and at the end in his testament Srila Prabhupada said that all his properties and temples should be administered by his disciples, when Srila Prabhupada disincarnated in November 1977 his disciples said that Srila Prabhupada had authorized them to be gurus, so a schism was created, schism means difference of opinions in a group, we that we believe that Srila Prabhupada did not leave anyone as his successor but ordered his disciples to be his representatives and initiate in his name, we can not live with the other group that says that Srila Prabhupada left them as gurus but not what You can show where Srila Prabhupada said that. Thanks to Krishna and Srila Prabhupada that there are some disciples of Srila Prabhupada who are initiating in his name. As Srila Prabhupada's guru always said that others who do whatever they want to me does not concern me, I already have a lot of work chanting Hare Krishna to purify my damned mind.

We meet again

Hare Krishna, my intention and attitude in sending you this message, is that Srila Prabhupada wanted us to transmit his teachings to everyone, without wanting anything in return.

We meet again, by Haripada dasa
When I met Srila Prabhupada through his books, videos, photos, etc., the first thing I thought was that I would like to be like this person, this person lives in pure goodness and has all the good qualities, this person always lives happy in God consciousness or Krishna and is free, (The Truth will set you free) and is kind, tolerant, friendly with everyone, always respects everyone and never wants to be respected, is truthful, pure of heart, conquers hunger , thirst, lamentation, envy and old age, does not deceive himself or others, is happy when he sees others happy in God or Krishna consciousness and suffers when he sees others suffer and has as his best friends to God or Krishna and His representatives. At no time do you forget God or Krishna and His devotees, in every moment of life feel the protection of God or Krishna and His devotees. Live free of fear because your future is very bright and you know you will go back home to God or Krishna. God or Krishna seizes it to turn bad people into good people. Use your selfishness to go back home to God or Krishna. He does not envy anyone because he lives full of peace and satisfaction. He knows God or Krishna and he loves him and since there is only God or Krishna and His energies naturally he loves everyone and everything. When a devotee serves Srila Prabhupada with sincerity, seriousness, love and devotion he acquires those qualities.
We meet again means that as we are eternal and we have had many births people meet again, when I met Srila Prabhupada I thought that this person is as if he knew her for life, that feeling also happened to me with Devarshi prabhu that it was the devotee who introduced me to Krishna consciousness, and it also happened to me with Nalini Kantha prabhu that I met him in Calcutta on the centenary of Srila Prabhupada and that in 2008 he initiated me in the name of Srila Prabhupada, the point is that if in other lives we have had a relationship with some people based on love and trust, now we meet again and that relationship continues, and also happens when without any reason some people are hostile to us. The conclusion of all this is that nothing happens by accident or chance. Srila Prabhupada always said that God or Krishna means 5 words, Krishna is the Supreme Controller.

10 Offenses against the Holy Name

HARINAMA CINTAMANI, CHAPTER 4
"Offenses against the Holy Name are analyzed as ten, according to the Scriptures. You should be fearful of committing the following offenses:

1) Blaspheme or criticize the Vaisnavas. 2) Consider that the other living entities, such as the demigods, are independent of Krishna. 3) Disobey or disrespect the guru. 4) Disrespect the authority of the Scriptures. 5) Interpret the meaning of the Name and think that the glories of the Holy Name are imaginary. 6) Commit sinful activities, trusting in the protection of the Holy Name. 7) Deliver the Holy Name to the infidels who are not ready to accept it. 8) Consider the Holy Name as karma and pious activity. 9) Be distracted while singing the Holy Name. 10) After having received the perfect knowledge and being aware of the glories of the Name, remain attached to the material world of 'I' and 'mine' and, finally, reject the Name.

I have become Hare Krishna

I have become Hare Krishna, by Haripada dasa
The other day I was walking through the town and a car started to whistle me and the man in the car shouted: Haribol, Haribol Haribol !, he parked and told me that it was Javier his childhood friend and that he always carried the wheelchair of the Paralytic Paco, I immediately recognized him, I had not seen him for more than 25 years, he told me that he had ended his life full of sense gratification for 7 years and that he sang The Hare Krishna Maha-Mantra, Hare Krishna, Krishna Krishna , Hare Hare / Hare Rama, Hare Rama, Rama Rama, Hare Hare (the H is read as J of Jota), 16 rounds a day and followed the 4 regulative principles, abandoning the illicit sex life, gambling, drugs and the consumption of meat, fish and eggs, had broken the relationship with many friends and although his wife is Catholic they get along very well, he cooks for God or Krishna and she cooks for her, and he has two children studying at the University they respect him very much, he is in the line of Puri Maharaja, t They have a Temple and they are like 90 devotees, they give a monthly fee to maintain the temple and the marriage that takes the Temple, in the holidays a year goes with his wife to the beach and the other goes to India to Vrindavana and Jagannatha puri, there are some social assistance programs, I told him that I settled in Spain in 2011, and that thanks to Krishna the Government is giving me money to support me, we talked about how difficult it is to preach Krishna consciousness , I live in the town where I was born, has 11,100 inhabitants, 1,100 of them are Muslims from Morocco, and they have become a Mosque and the others are Catholics, there are 3 Churches and everyone goes to the Church, and if you do not go they look like a weirdo, the Hare Krishna group is considered the most dangerous sect, we talk about it being Kali yuga, for nothing two people, two families and two nations are fighting, people are full of impersonalism, materialism and atheism, there is a lot hypocrisy, Jesus the one He wrote very well criticizing the religious of his time saying that on the outside they look like whitewashed tombs, but inside they are full of rottenness, in the end he gave me his email and his telephone to be in contact, if Krishna wants to we will meet in my Temple the Sundays in the morning.
Srila Prabhupada says in his books that there are devotees everywhere, but they have forgotten, the truth is that people suffer a lot because they do not have Krishna consciousness, Srila Prabhupada always said that what people like the most is suffering and cheat them.

Obey the instructions

Hare Krishna, my intention and attitude in sending you this message, is that Srila Prabhupada wanted us to transmit his teachings to everyone, without wanting anything in return.
Obey the instructions, by Haripada dasa
It is very interesting what Srila Prabhupada says in Chaitanya Charitamrita, Adi-lila, 1:49: "These pure devotees, always immersed in the knowledge of Kṛṣṇa and absorbed in Kṛṣṇa consciousness, exchange thoughts and experiences, such as the great scientists exchange their opinions and talk about the results of their research in scientific academies. These exchanges of thought concerning Kṛṣṣṇa please the Lord, who, therefore, favors these devotees with full enlightenment. "
Srila Prabhupada taught us that in the consciousness of Krishna the first thing is faith, faith means the full conviction that by chanting the Hare Krishna Maha-Mantra, Hare Krishna, Krishna Krishna, Hare Hare / Hare Rama, Hare Rama, Rama Rama, Hare Hare (the H is read as J de jota), will automatically fulfill all the duties and complete all the pious activities, that faith increases by associating with serious and sincere devotees of God or Krishna, any kind of association with a pure devotee, even for a moment, it creates immeasurable amounts of blessings, we associate with Srila Prabhupada and the guru parampara through obeying his instructions.
I share here the final instructions of Srila Prabhupada's guru Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Saraswati Prabhupada: "I have caused anxiety to many people. Perhaps many people have considered me their enemy because I was forced to tell them the pure truth. I asked them to serve the Lord in all sincerity. I have put many people in anxiety just because I wanted to inspire them to serve Krishna sincerely, without material desires or duplicity. Someday you will understand this. All of you please preach about Sri Rupa and Sri Raghunatha with great enthusiasm. The supreme goal of our desires is to become a particular dust at the lotus feet of the followers of Sri Rupa Goswami. Remain united in the refuge of asraya-vigraha to satisfy the transcendental senses of the Supreme Entity of non-dual knowledge. Live in this temporary world with the only goal of serving the Lord. Please, do not abandon your devotional service despite hundreds of dangers, insults, or persecutions. Do not be discouraged to see that most people in this world do not listen to the transcendental topics of devotional service. Do not give up listening and singing about God or Krishna and His devotees, which becomes your own worship and your only property. Always sing the name of the Lord, and be humbler than a leaf of grass, and more tolerant than a tree.
