15 degrees below zero

15 degrees below zero, by Haripada dasa
I share more stories of Sankirtana, in 1986 we did the Christmas Marathon in Navarra, Spain, we were 15 devotees and we rented a very big apartment for the whole month of December, that winter was very hard, we were on the street distributing the first song from the Srimad Bhagavatam, a luxury book with more than 1,000 pages, it was snowing and it was 15 degrees below zero, we rented a large van and put a butane stove inside, and when we could not stand the cold we went to the van to warm up , I would tell people, please, a question, and people would reply that there is no time for questions, it was difficult to give the books, God or Krishna distributed through me every day from 20 to 25 Bhagavatams, I I think people bought us books out of compassion, I remember we gave a Bhagavatam to a local policeman and this man phoned the Nueva Vrajamandala farm and told them that here in Pamplona there are some young Hare K rishnas distributing the first chant of Srimad Bhagavatam, I have read it and I have come to the conclusion that these young people are heroes, because they are sacrificing their lives to give us the purest and sublime message that can be given to human society.
This story that I am going to tell now is incredible, we were distributing the first song of The Srimad Bhagavatam, a luxury book with more than 1,000 pages in a car park in the center of Valencia, Spain, there were going to park politicians, businessmen, professionals, etc., I gave a very successful entrepreneur a Bhagavatam, in a few minutes we made a great friendship, and at the time of giving me the donation he took out his wallet and told me that I do not know what to give you as a donation, and I with all the tranquility of the world I grabbed the wallet and looked in the wallet for the largest bill, I grabbed a bill of 10,000 pesetas or 100 dollars, seeing this the employer caught a fit of laughter, began to laugh and kept saying this I did not I can believe it, I can not believe it, I got his laugh and I also started to laugh, when we laughed enough the businessman gave me his card and told me that if you want work there you have your house, I told him what thanks per or that I work for the Supreme Chief, God or Krishna, He is Pure Goodness and the Supreme Controller, the man was very pious and told me that that is very good.

Saved my life

Saved my life, by Haripada dasa

With love and confidence I share this story of Sankirtana, the devotees translated it from Spanish to English and put it in the magazine back to the Supreme for everyone to read it, I was distributing Srila Prabhupada's books in a town in Murcia, Spain, in the town square I saw a car parked with the window open and the driver inside, I approached and gave the man the science of self-realization, seeing the picture of Srila Prabhupada on the cover the man was very impressed, I I told him that we are doing a cultural program with these books and the result of reading these spiritual books is that one gets a lot of inner peace and freedom from anxiety, I saw that in the seat next to the driver was a large knife , and that there was a bottle of alcohol and drugs, I wrote him down on a paper The Hare Krishna Maha-Mantra, Hare Krishna, Krishna Krishna, Hare Hare / Hare Rama, Hare Rama, Rama Rama, Hare Hare (the H is read like J de jota), and I told him if you sing this mantra all the negative things that you have will disappear, the man gave me 2,000 pesetas or 20 dollars of donation and he left. I continued with my distribution of books and spent half an hour and the man in the car came and told me I want to talk to you, parked the car and I got in the car and the man revealed his mind and told me that you saved my life and I come to thank you, it turns out that I left my best friend 10 million pesetas or 100,000 dollars to do a business, the business went very well and he made a lot of money, and when I told him to give me back what I I gave him half and he told me that the other half would give it to him, when you saw me I was going to kill him, but seeing the photo of your spiritual master and chanting the Hare Krishna mantra that you gave me, my mentality has changed totally, now I do not care if you are going to pay me the other half, thank God I have a lot of money, and what I want is to live happily with my family and not get into trouble, I told him that in the book was the address of the Hare Krishna Rural Community and that there has its house, the man To very excited and crying he hugged me and told me that I will never forget you, thanks for everything.

By the mercy of Srila Prabhupada and Krishna, these personal experiences have been a great source of inspiration for distributing Srila Prabhupada's books, the influence of Srila Prabhupada's books on people is inconceivable, and that is the practical test that Srila Prabhupada is a living guru. The result of practicing the instructions given in Srila Prabhupada's books is that one acquires the qualities of Srila Prabhupada and qualifies to go back home, back to Godhead.

Stories of Sankirtana

One question: A few days ago I sent you two messages titled 8 Spiritual Riddles and Answers, you have received these two messages.
Stories of Sankirtana, by Haripada dasa
With love and confidence I share this story of Sankirtana, this story of Sankirtana the devotees translated from Spanish to English and put it in the magazine back to the Supreme for everyone to read, it was the marathon of December of the Centenary of the Appearance Transcendental of Srila Prabhupada, 1996, we were 12 devotees and we rented a country house, this was in the Basque country, in Spain, by the mercy of Srila Prabhupada I won the marathon, the marathon was the whole month of December, we became very famous to Reina Kunti, we distributed thousands and thousands of hardcover books of Reina Kunti's prayers, my daily quota was to distribute more than 100 books, in the whole month I distributed 3,300 books, every day I collected more than 80,000 pesetas, 100 pesetas they were a dollar, the day that I distributed the most were 130 books and I collected 150,000 pesetas or fifteen hundred dollars, in the capital of San Sebastian we put ourselves in the Plaza Mayor, once a very elegant gentleman I went and with a bill of 2,000 pesetas in his hand he told me that please I also want a book, it seemed strange to me and I asked him why you want a book, he answered that I live there in those apartments, and When I see that you are distributing the books I stay all day watching them, and I have come to the conclusion that you are happy and transmit this happiness to others and that is why people buy you books, so for please give me a book because I also want to be happy, my hair stood on end and I was thrilled to hear this gentleman, I gave him the book and I told him God bless you.
In relation to the subject I remember a class of Srila Prabhupada that said that if a devotee practices Krishna consciousness and is sad something is wrong, the symptom that a devotee is practicing Krishna consciousness correctly is that he is always happy , and in reality that is our best preaching, to transmit our happiness to others. The devotee of God or Krishna is the only one who is not selfish, all others are selfish, the only desire the devotee has is to see that everyone is happy in Krishna consciousness.

The Answers

The Answers, by Haripada dasa
Here I share the answers to the 8 spiritual riddles
1-In what part of Srimad Bhagavatam Srila Prabhupada glorifies Columbus for discovering America.
1-The answer is in Srimad Bhagavatam, 2, 5, 17: The vast expanse of land was already there because of the omnipotence of the Supreme Lord, and Columbus, because of the past service he rendered to the Lord, was blessed with merit of having discovered America.
2 - In which part of the Srimad Bhagavatam the personified death serves the devotee.
2- The answer is in The Srimad Bhagavatam, 4, 12, 30: When trying to get on the transcendental plane, Dhruva Mahārāja saw that the personification of death was directed towards him. Without worrying about her, he took the opportunity, and, putting his feet on the head of death, got on the plane, which was as big as a house.
3 - The spiritual potency of Krishna has 3 aspects, Hladini, (bliss), Samvit (knowledge) and Sandhini (existence), the personification of Hladini is Srimati Radharani, which is the personification of the other two.
3-The answer is in Chaitanya Caritamrita, adi, lila, 5, 10: Śrī Balarāma is the servant God, who serves Lord Krishna in all matters of existence and knowledge.
4- In Bhagavad gita 4, 42 at the end of the meaning Srila Prabhupada says that a bona fide spiritual master is in the disciplic succession from the eternal time, which means this.
4-I share an investigation that I made about this riddle: Hare Krishna .... I have asked that question to many devotees of the Bhagavad gita, 4, 42 that says that the guru is in the disciplic succession from the eternal time, I share my personal research ...
"In answer to your second question, you should know that Arjuna and Kunti Devi are not in Krishna Loka, they are eternally associated with Krishna only in the material world, Krishna is always in the spiritual world and at the same time He is always in the world. material realizing pastimes Krishna also has eternal associates like Arjuna and Kunti Devi, there is a difference between the body and soul of Arjuna and Kunti Devi, but while Arjuna is with Krishna in innumerable material universes, but there is only one spiritual soul that is Arjuna This spiritual soul expands into many different organs and so it can be understood that there are also incarnations of the devotees, as well as incarnations of Krishna.This is the spiritual power of the soul, which is unlimited.This concept can not be understood when one is still in the conditioned state. "
Letter to Saradiya December 12, 1968 Vol. 2 Pag.1261
This letter from Srila Prabhupada clarifies many things, in Gita 4.42 it is said that a spiritual master is in the disciplic succession from eternal time, in that letter from Srila Prabhupada is the answer, I asked that question to a lot of devotees and nobody knew the answer. All the gurus of our guru-parampara are in their spiritual bodies in the spiritual world and are also simultaneously in the material world preaching Krishna consciousness, this is inconceivable, but it is true, a devotee once told me that Srila Prabhupada in a Dream told him that he was traveling on all the planets preaching Krishna consciousness, and when on a planet devotees are very close, Krishna consciousness expands rapidly, but on this planet Earth, not only the devotees are not together, but when there is a pure devotee and has bhakti, instead of rejoicing they envy him, so it takes longer to spread Krishna consciousness.
In the book entitled Amrita - vani of Srila Prabhupada Bhaktisiddhanta Saraswati Thakura says: "Only the great personality that has been sent by the Lord from the spiritual world to the material world to save the conditioned souls like us, who liberates the afflicted persons by the three types of anguish and sends them back to God, who is very dear to the Supreme Lord and that you represent, and who is the herald of the transcendental subject, is able to act as our spiritual master, the first step in the Obtaining perfection is the refuge in a spiritual master, through the grace of the Lord, the person receives a spiritual master according to their personal requirements, but if we have the luck and sincerely seek a genuine spiritual master, and if we pray humbly to the Lord, the grace of such a guru is obtained, then, by the grace of God that we reach a guru in good faith in this life, then to take refuge in Him. This life will be a success, this is affirmed in the CC Madhya (19-151, 22-47) in the Adi (1-44, 1-45, 1-47, 1-58).
The theme of guru tattva is very deep, all the personalities that make up our guru-parampara are nitya siddhas or liberated souls who were never conditioned souls like us, that is the difference between a guru authorized by God or Krishna, and the many gurus who they are deceiving themselves and others.
5 - It is said that Sri Gauranga comes in every day of Brahma, in a day of Brahma there are many Kali yugas, who comes in the other Kali yugas.
5- The answer is in The Srimad Bhagavatam, 7, 9, 39: that way, my Lord, You appear in different incarnations, in the form of a human being, an animal, a great saint, a demigod, a fish or a turtle, thereby maintaining all creation in different planetary systems and ending with the demonic principles. You, oh, my Lord, protect the principles of religion proper to each era. However, in the age of Kali you do not claim to be the Supreme Personality of Godhead, and therefore you are known by the name of Triyuga, the Lord who appears in three yugas.
6- In a meaning of Bhagavad-gita Srila Prabhupada says that this is the essence of the Gita and in another meaning it says that therefore, this verse is considered as the essence of the Bhagavad-gita, what are these two verses.
6-The answer is, Bhagavad gita, 10, 11 and 11, 55.
7- God or Krishna has created the universe for all living entities to make ajnata sukriti, ajnata sukriti means to do service for Krishna without one knowing, how is this.
7- The answer is in The Srimad Bhagavatam, 4, 9, 20-21: The Supreme Personality of Godhead continued: My dear Dhruva, I will grant you a resplendent planet: the Pole Star. That planet will continue to exist even after the dissolution, at the end of the millennium. No one has ever ruled that planet, and it is surrounded by all solar systems, planets and stars. All the stars in the sky revolve around him, like oxen that walk around a central axis when grinding grain. Presenting always its right side, all the stars inhabited by the great sages, such as Dharma, Agni, Kaśyapa and Śukra, revolve around that planet, the Pole Star, which continues to exist even after the dissolution of all others.
8- Since 2010 I do not visit Jagannatha puri, however every day I respect maha-prasada from the temple of Jagannatha puri, how is this possible.
8- Every year in Kartika vrata some Puris vasis or inhabitants of Puri go to Vrindavana to sell things, they bring a maha-prasada that is dry rice wrapped in a pink cloth, I give them a donation and they give me several packages of that maha-prasada, and every day I respect some granites, and that lasts for years and years.

The clouds of the Nectar

The clouds of the Nectar
I share that the great spiritual master named Visvanatha Chakravarti wrote a book called the Madhurya Kadambini or Clouds of the Nectar, there he explains in a scientific way all the experiences that the devotee must go from faith to pure love for God or Krishna, in the end the book is the essence of this book, there is said that the false ego has two functions, one is to think that I am temporary matter, and the other is to think that everything I own is mine, when one by the mercy of the representative of God or Krishna, the spiritual master, understands and accepts that I am not temporary matter but an eternal spiritual soul, eternal and loving servant of God or Krishna and His devotees and that everything is of Krishna because He has created everything, there pure love for God or Krishna is obtained, and this is declared as the crown of jewels of all human goals. Now describe the nine states until you reach pure love for God or Krishna.
It begins with faith, one with a lot of determination thinks that I am going to give up worldly affairs and I am going to serve God or Krishna in association with the devotees, the result of associating with the devotees is that the faith increases, then one is initiated by a spiritual master, and under his guidance performs devotional service, the result of this is that all the dirty things that are in the heart such as lust, anger, greed, etc., disappear, then when you fix your conscience in the service devotional spiritualization becomes more penetrating and material life decreases a lot, the next state is that one likes the spiritual life, likes to get up early, sing Hare Krishna, worship the Deities, always be in the company of the devotees, etc., the next state is attachment, there the spiritual aspect that I am eternal and loving servant of God or Krishna and His devotees is complete and the material aspect is partial, the next step is the state in which one when performing devotional service he experiences ecstatic emotions, there the spiritual aspect becomes absolute and the material aspect is reduced to an empty shadow and in the last state called pure love for God or Krishna, the spiritual aspect becomes extremely dense and the material aspect it is completely absent, and there is direct association with God or Krishna, there one can not live without God or Krishna as the fish can not live without water.

Annoying people

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. And if you want you can give me your opinion about this message.
Annoying people, by Haripada dasa
I share that I have a DVD that Srila Prabhupada is being interviewed by some journalists in Australia, these journalists were very negative against Srila Prabhupada and he defended himself saying that Jesus Christ was crucified, he did not do anything wrong, and even then they crucified him, in this world There are always annoying people, you can do things right and correct, and even then they will criticize and envy you. There is also another DVD at the temple in Dallas, USA, that some reporters are interviewing and a reporter started saying that the gurus live full of luxuries, they have cars, yachts, etc., and Srila Prabhupada told them that that is why I have sitting on the floor or not on the throne, because I already knew that you are very envious, and everyone even the reporters laughed. When Krishna Himself came in the form of Sri Gauranga Mahaprabhu, the Varanasi Mayanvadi sannyasis criticized him by saying that He is not a sannyasi, He is a sentimental or a magician, the devotees were very distressed to hear these criticisms, and to please His Devotees Sri Gauranga made all the arrangements and converted all the Mayavadi sannyasis into His devotees, even when Krishna came there was a king named Satrajit, who offended Krishna by saying that He had killed his brother Prasena and that he had taken away the Syamantaka jewel, and Krishna made all the arrangements to clarify the situation, and King Satrajit was very ashamed for having offended Krishna and handed him the Syamantaka jewel and his daughter. Krishna says in The Bhagavad-gita, 9, 11, that fools despise me when I descend in a human-like way. They do not know My transcendental nature and My supreme dominion over everything that exists.
I have come to the conclusion that here in this material world, the world of envy, we are all subject to being questioned, only God or Krishna and His pure devotees are above all doubt and suspicion because they live on the transcendental platform or in pure goodness, and if someone criticizes them or envies them, they have very severe karmic reactions.

Save yourself

Hare Krishna, my intention and attitude to send you this message, is that Srila Prabhupada wanted us to transmit his teachings to everyone, without wanting anything in return. And if you want you can give me your opinion on this message.

Save yourself, by Haripada dasa

I share a letter from Srila Prabhupada that says that this is our true mission, to liberate the world by preaching the message of Krishna to others, but even the highest realization, the highest realization is to save oneself. In connection with this I share that I was talking to a friend and I saw her very depressed and frustrated, I gave her a japa or rosary and a sheet with the meaning of The Hare Krishna Maha-Mantra, Hare Krishna, Krishna Krishna, Hare Hare / Hare Rama , Hare Rama, Rama Rama, Hare Hare, after a few months I saw her again and she looked like another person, I saw her radiant and happy, she told me that by chanting the Hare Krishna Maha-Mantra she felt the presence of God in her life and that I could not stop singing The Hare Krishna Maha-Mantra, I was very happy to see this friend's positive change and I told her that everything is in you, if you live with Srila Prabhupada and with Krishna even though your surroundings are negative and Sad will not affect you, and if you do not live with Srila Prabhupad or Krishna, even though your surroundings are happy and positive, you will be negative and sad. Of course no one can be saved and go back to God or Krishna, but receive the blessings and mercy of Srila Prabhupada.

The problem of people is that they are very hypocritical and envious, they make you a pretty face in front of you and behind you they criticize and envy you, and they are always arguing, that is because they have no faith in anyone or in themselves. Personally it has helped me a lot to be from 1984 to 2011 in direct contact with people, distributing the books of Srila Prabhupada, I calculate that I will have spoken face to face with 4 million people, God or Krishna distributed through me more than A quarter of a million books by Srila Prabhupada, I lived in Spain, in 16 Latin countries, in the USA and in India. That has helped me a lot to have a universal vision, and we all understand and accept that the great crisis that exists is of God or Krishna consciousness, religions are pure hypocrisy, the mandate of all religions is the same, since you get up until you lie down glorify your Lord God, but people do not practice it and they put a stamp that I am Buddhist, Christian, Muslim, Jewish, Hare Krishna, etc. And they fight with each other saying that my religion is better than yours. The first lesson is to understand and accept that we are not the temporary material body but eternal spiritual souls, and that having forgotten our relationship with God is the cause of all our sufferings, and that the goal of human life is to understand and love God and go back home to God, what religion or cultural institution preaches this, Srila Prabhupada sacrificed his life for us and left us 80 books of 400 pages each for us to perform, and always said that he who obeys my instructions given in my books will always live with me.

Be neutral

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. And if you want you can give me your opinion about this message.
Be neutral, by Haripada dasa
In CC, ML, 3, 212 it is said: As Lord Chaitanya Mahaprabhu shows us by His own example, no one can engage in the cultivation of Krishna consciousness without being neutral.
These words of Srila Prabhupada have helped me a lot in my spiritual life. Srila Prabhupada's intention in founding Iskcon is to create first class people, Jayananda prabhu made it and for that Srila Prabhupada said that everyone should follow his example, the essence of this great devotee's life is that everything he did was so that Srila Prabhupada was happy, and he never did anything that displeased Srila Prabhupada, and what is the symptom of a first class person, that he always goes with the truth ahead, he will tell the truth even to his enemy, he lives the truth , and as the Bible says: The truth will set you free. The example that Srila Prabhupada always used is that of the Lord Jesus Christ, the envious sisters of his time told him to change your philosophy or we are going to crucify you, and Jesus Christ said do whatever you want but I will never change philosophy. All the success of Srila Prabhupada is that he never changed the philosophy, when he arrived in the USA some gurus, yogis, etc., told him that you will never succeed, since he is very strict, and Srila Prabhupada said that one day it will be said in the history of humanity as the Vedic culture entered the USA and spread throughout the earth saving human society from the greatest of atheism. Srila Prabhupada prophesied that his books would be the law books for humanity in the next 10,000 years.
Please, we do not see Srila Prabhupada as the guru of some people, not .... he is Jagat guru, in the science of self-realization Srila Prabhupada glorifies his Gurudeva by saying that we do not see him as the head of the Gaudiya Matha, but as the Jagat guru, the guru of the Universe. In the CCML, 15,179 it is said that simply by the desire of a devotee, the conditioned soul can achieve liberation and transcend the results of karma.
Please, do not get into criticism, Srila Bhaktivinoda Thakura said that if someone criticizes something about someone, it is he who has that and reflects it on the other person, for example, a devotee is doing a very good kirtana, one thinks that he is singing so well to attract mothers, he is the one who is attracted to mothers and reflects that in the other person, it would be better to say that devotee is doing that ecstatic kirtana since he has been empowered by Krishna and Srila Prabhupada. Please, do not get involved in politics, in Calcutta on 7 of 12 of 1936 Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Saraswati Thakura said that we should not run around attacking others with divisive policies, such behavior is only appropriate for deceptive people and not for preachers.

We are people, by Haripada dasa
I share that I have always tried to be very personal with all people, for the mercy of Srila Prabhupada I was from 1984 to 2011 distributing his books all over the world, I calculate that I will have spoken face to face with at least four million people, and that has helped me a lot to be personal, I remember a class of Srila Prabhupada that said that we are all people, human beings, animals, ants, trees, there is nothing impersonal, even the brahmajyoti is the effulgence of the personal body of God or Krishna. Now the devotees to know me I send a message entitled my devotional life, at the beginning of this message I say Hare Krishna, all the glories to Srila Prabhupada, with love and trust I share my devotional life, so that you know me, and if you can share yours with me I have sent this message to more than one hundred devotees, and only two have reciprocated and told me their devotional life, now the question I ask is because the devotees do not answer, do not reciprocate, my humble opinion is that there are many devotees impersonalism, in the mantra to Srila Prabhupada we say that you have come to the West to liberate us from impersonalism and nihilism, and because of impersonalism is that the devotees are not united, when one reads the Sri Chaitanya Charitamrita there are such sweet relationships and loving among the devotees, at that time there was no television, no cell phones, etc., all the devotees did was try to make Sri Gauranga Mahaprabhu and His devotees happy, the great devotee and King of Puri Patraparudra Maharaja gave the order in the temple of Sri Jagannatha that for the devotees of Sri Gauranga all the free maha-prasada, so the devotees all they did is sing Hare Krishna and dance in ecstasy, respect maha-prasada and speak of the glories of Krishna and His devotees, there was no place for impersonalism or for doing things to waste time, that is Krishna consciousness in its pure state. Another great impediment is pride, pride is the prelude to the fall, the thought that I am superior to others, that is pure ignorance, that I have lived in Iskcon, the supposed disciples of Srila Prabhupada look at others with contempt, in their ignorance they think that I am a disciple of Srila Prabhupada and I am saved, and the others who are not disciples of Srila Prabhupada are condemned, humility is very important, when the guru of Sri Gauranga named Srila Isvara puri went to visit to Sri Advaita prabhu, the devotees there only to see their effulgence all thought that this person must be a very high devotee, but Isvara puri said that I am lower than a sudra, that is humility.
Let's try to be people and establish relationships based on love and trust, let's try to be united, if we make this sure that Srila Prabhupada will be very happy with us and will give us many blessings.

Bhaktivinoda Thakura

Bhaktivinoda Thakura
I share that I have always liked Bhaktivinoda Thakura's song Amara Jivana, Srila Prabhupada says that in the meaning that this is a song sung by Bhaktivinoda Thakura with a feeling of Vaishnava humility, the pure devotee of Krishna is always docile and humble and, For them, considering themselves an ordinary person, Bhaktivinoda Thakura describes here the life of the people in general, people in general are as described here: 1) I am an ungodly sinner and I have caused others a lot of anxiety and problems. 2) I have never hesitated to perform sinful acts for my own enjoyment. Devoid of all compassion, concerned only with my own selfish interests, I feel remorse at seeing others happy. I am a perpetual liar, and the misery of others is a source of great pleasure for me. 3) The material desires within the heart of my heart are unlimited. I am angry, dedicated to false pride and arrogance, intoxicated by vanity and bewildered by worldly affairs. Envy and selfishness are the adornments that I wear. 4) Ruined by laziness and sleep, I resist all pious actions; however, I am very active and enthusiastic to perform evil acts. For worldly fame and reputation, I dedicate myself to the practice of deception. Therefore, I am destroyed by my own greed and I am always lustful. 5) An evil and evil man like this, rejected by pious people, is a constant offender. I am such a person, devoid of all good works, always inclined towards evil, worn out and suffering from various miseries. 6) Now in old age, deprived of all means of success, humiliated and poor, Bhaktivinoda presents his story of pain at the feet of the Supreme Lord.
Srila Prabhupada always said that we have three serious diseases, 1- that we are attached to sexual life, one transcends lust when he wants everything for Krishna, 2- that we are always fighting, fights arise when there are no relationships based on love and the trust and 3- always want to change everything, the changes they have made to Srila Prabhupada's books and also changed the initiations, are made by people who have no gratitude, respect, love and trust for Srila Prabhupada.

Flies and bees

Flies and bees, by Haripada dasa
In relation to this theme I share some beautiful verses of Sri Chaitanya Charitamrita, Adi-lila, 8, 62, 63 and 64, with the meaning of Srila Prabhupada, there it is said that he always accepted the good qualities of the Vaiṣṇavas, and never found fault in them. He occupied his heart and soul only in pleasing the Vaiṣṇavas. Purport: One of the qualities of a Vaiṣṇava is that of being an adoṣa-darśī: he never sees the defects of others. Of course, every human being has virtues and defects. This is why it is said: saj-janā guṇam icchanti doṣam icchanti pāmarāḥ, they all have a combination of defects and glories. But a Vaiṣṇava, a moderate man, accepts only the glory of the person, and not his faults, because flies seek sores, but bees seek honey. Haridāsa Paṇḍita never found defects in the Vaiṣṇavas, but only considered their qualities. He always heard the reading of Śrī Chaitanya-maṅgala, and all the other Vaiṣṇavas used to listen to him by his grace. Like the full moon, it illuminated all the assembled Vaiṣṇavas by uttering Śrī Chaitanya-maṅgala, and by the nectar of their qualities the transcendental bliss of all of them increased.
Srila Prabhupada said that I am very proud to have had such a good disciple as Jayananda prabhu, everyone should follow his example, my humble opinion about this great devotee is that all he did was for Srila Prabhupada to be happy, and he never did anything that would displease Srila Prabhupada, another point of this great devotee is that he was not a politician, politician means that this one I like is my friend, this one I do not like is my enemy, Jayananda prabhu was a friend of the whole world, of devotees , of the drug addicts, the police, etc., Srila Prabhupada wanted relationships with the devotees to be full of love and trust, love means that each other is appreciated and there is no envy, love also means that if someone does something strange For your sake you have to tell him to rectify, for example, in the temple in the South of Spain, I have heard that Purujit has made a new Gita from Srila Prabhupada, I have told them to say why he has done that if there is a Gi Srila Prabhupada's original, what need there is of another, no one answers, and confidence means that there will be no betrayal, I share that the second guru who initiated me in Iskcon called Prahladananda swami sent a message to his disciples telling them that he had rejected me as a disciple , and he did not say anything to me, when I arrived at the temple in Malaga all my supposed spiritual brothers looked at me in a very strange way, then I found out that my supposed guru had betrayed me. Every day I thank Srila Prabhupada, Krishna and the devotees who appreciate me and give me their association for having freed me from such strange, envious and dangerous people.

FASTING

68-03-12.   Letter: Balai
   SO FAR THE ADVENT DAY OF LORD CAITANYA IS CONCERNED, I HAVE WRITTEN A FULL SUGGESTION TO MONTREAL, IN WHICH THE MAIN POINTS ARE THAT WE SHOULD ALL OBSERVE STRICT FASTING UP TILL MOONRISE, AND AT THAT TIME, AN OFFERING IS MADE TO LORD CAITANYA OF EKADASI FOODS, FRUITS, PEANUTS, MILK, AND SO FORTH.

Prabhupada: So today, ekadasi as usual, the Varaha-dvadasi will be also observed and tomorrow breakfast.
Tamala Krsna: Breakfast. Fast? No.
Prabhupada: Hm?
Tamala Krsna: Fasting tomorrow or...
Prabhupada: No.
Tamala Krsna: Regular...
Prabhupada: Simply worshiping Varahadeva. Kesava dhrta-sukara-rupa, jaya jagadisa hare. That take.
Jayapataka: Between 8:50 and 10:00 we should break the fast.
Prabhupada: Yes.
Tamala Krsna: Is that called parayana?
Prabhupada: Eh? Parayana.
Hrdayananda: There's a very famous lecture you gave, Srila Prabhupada, one day on a Varaha-dvadasi, where you sang Jaya Jagadisa and then you explained it. A very wonderful lecture.
Jayapataka: AND THE DAY AFTER IS NITYANANDA'S AVIRBHAVA.
Prabhupada: OH, THEN HALF-DAY FASTING.
Tamala Krsna: Wow.
Hrdayananda: Auspicious alignment.
Tamala Krsna: (break) ...on your appearance day and Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati's and Bhaktivinoda Thakura and Gaura Kisora's we should observe half-day fast. I have a question that on all the other auspicious days, just like Narottama dasa Thakura and others, should we also observe half-day fast?
Prabhupada: IT IS... BUT IF YOU CANNOT, THAT IS ANOTHER...
Tamala Krsna: Sometimes because of the sankirtana...
Prabhupada: No, no. If you cannot, you can take.
Tamala Krsna: And just sing some songs and praise.
Prabhupada: YES. YES. KIRTANA IS MAIN THING.
Tamala Krsna: And if possible, then the fasting.
Prabhupada: Yes.

Tamala Krsna: Half day. (break)
Prabhupada: Oh, yes.
Tamala Krsna: What kind of fast is that?
Prabhupada: BALARAMA? HALF DAY. It is fifteen days before Janmastami.
Tamala Krsna: We should always chant twenty-five rounds on ekadasi if initiated.
Prabhupada: Initiated? Everyone. Why initiated?
Tamala Krsna: So that should be standard for our movement on ekadasi day?
Prabhupada: Standard is sixteen, but if one can chant more, then he is welcome.
Tamala Krsna: It's not mandatory for ekadasi.
Jayapataka: Recommended.
Prabhupada: NO. EKADASI MEANS THAT, FASTING AND CHANTING.
Tamala Krsna: Sometimes I'm wondering, because our men have to go out on book distribution.
Prabhupada: NO, NO. THAT IS ALSO PREACHING WORK. FOR THAT PURPOSE YOU CAN STOP THIS, BUT GENERALLY, ONE WHO HAS NO PREACHING WORK, HE CAN CHANT.
Tamala Krsna: Extra.
Prabhupada: Extra.
Tamala Krsna: I see. (end)

So this process should be adopted, how to become sukrtina. Sukrti means yajna-dana-tapa-kriya. One must perform sacrifices as prescribed in the sastras, and they must give in charity their hard-earned money for Krsna's cause. That is called dana. Yajna, dana, and tapasya. Tapasya. JUST LIKE TOMORROW IS SRI RAMA-NAVAMI. THE TAPASYA WILL BE THAT ALL THE DEVOTEES WILL OBSERVE FASTING FROM MORNING TILL EVENING. THIS IS CALLED TAPASYA. JUST LIKE EKADASI DAY--THERE IS NO EATING SUMPTUOUSLY. SIMPLY YOU TAKE LITTLE FRUITS AND FLOWERS. TRY TO AVOID THAT ALSO. YOU DON'T TAKE EVEN WATER. THAT IS REALLY EKADASI. But because we cannot do it--in the Kali-yuga the time is different--therefore we are allowed to take little fruit and milk, which is called anukalpa. These are different methods of tapasya. And yajna. This yajna, sankirtanaih prayair yajnaih, yajanti hi su-medhasah. In this age you cannot perform that big asvamedha yajna, gomedha yajna, rajasuya yajna, so many other yajnas. It is not possible. First of all, you have no means to perform such yajnas, hundreds and hundreds of tons ghee required for putting into the sacrificial fire. You have not even a drop of your ghee. So forget all those yajnas. In this age, yajnaih sankirtanaih prayaih. That is recommended in the sastra:

                     krsna-varnam tvisakrsnam
                     sangopangastra-parsadam
                   yajnaih sankirtanaih prayair
                      yajanti hi su-medhasah

So these are pious activities, to perform yajna and to give in charity, yajna, dana and tapasya, accepting voluntarily austerity. That will make you sukrtina. And if you actually become sukrtina, then you'll be inclined. Because the dirty things will be cleansed by these pious activities, then you will understand. Just like when the sky is cleared of all clouds you can see the sunshine very brilliantly, similarly, you can see Krsna and God very brilliantly as soon as the cloud accumulated in your heart of all dirty things is cleansed. The process of cleansing in this age is this sankirtana yajna. This sankirtana movement is not unauthorized. It is authorized by the sastras. And because they are being properly performed, it is taking effect all over the world.

SB 7.14.20-23 P          Ideal Family Life

   Srila Jiva Gosvami has given quotations from many sastras stating that the sraddha ceremony of oblations to the forefathers should not be performed on Ekadasi tithi. When the tithi of the death anniversary falls on the Ekadasi day, the sraddha ceremony should be held not on Ekadasi but on the next day, or dvadasi. In the Brahma-vaivarta purana it is said:

                       ye kurvanti mahipala

                     sraddham caikadasi-dine

                     trayas te narakam yanti

                     data bhokta ca prerakah

   If one performs the sraddha ceremony of oblations to the forefathers on the Ekadasi tithi, then the performer, the forefathers for whom the sraddha is observed, and the purohita, or the family priest who encourages the ceremony, all go to hell.

SB 8.16.25 P Executing the Payo-vrata Process of Worship

   One should install the Deity of Lord Visnu or Krsna and worship Him nicely by dressing Him, decorating Him with flower garlands, and offering Him all kinds of fruits, flowers and cooked food, nicely prepared with ghee, sugar and grains. One should also offer a flame, incense and so on, while ringing a bell, as prescribed. This is called worship of the Lord. Here it is recommended that one observe the vow of subsisting only by drinking milk. This is called payo-vrata. As we generally perform devotional service on Ekadasi by not eating grains, it is generally recommended that on Dvadasi one not consume anything but milk. payo-vrata and arcana devotional service to the Supreme Lord should be performed with a pure devotional attitude (bhaktya). Without bhakti, one cannot worship the Supreme Personality of Godhead. Bhaktya mam abhijanati yavan yas casmi tattvatah. If one wants to know the Supreme Personality of Godhead and be directly connected with Him, knowing what He wants to eat and how He is satisfied, one must take to the process of bhakti. As recommended here also, bhaktya paramayanvitah: one should be surcharged with unalloyed devotional service.

SB 9.4 Summary  Ambarisa Maharaja Offended by Durvasa Muni

   Once Maharaja Ambarisa was worshiping the Supreme Personality of Godhead in Vrndavana, observing the vow of Dvadasi. On Dvadasi, the day after Ekadasi, when he was about to break his Ekadasi fast, the great mystic yogi Durvasa appeared in his house and became his guest.

SB 9.4.29 P Ambarisa Maharaja Offended by Durvasa Muni

   To observe Ekadasi-vrata and Dvadasi-vrata means to please the Supreme Personality of Godhead. Those interested in advancing in Krsna consciousness must observe Ekadasi-vrata regularly. Maharaja Ambarisa's queen was equally as qualified as the King.

Adi 10.71  The Trunk, Branches and Subbranches of the Caitanya Tree

   The injunction to fast on Ekadasi is especially meant for devotees; on Ekadasi there are no restrictions regarding food that may be offered to the Lord. Lord Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu took the food of Lord Visnu in His ecstasy as visnu-tattva.

Adi 14.39       Lord Caitanya' s Childhood Pastimes

   The Caitanya-bhagavata, Adi-lila, Chapter Six, fully describes the Lord's accepting visnu-prasada on the Ekadasi day at the house of Jagadisa and Hiranya. Regular prasada is offered to Lord Visnu on Ekadasi because, while fasting is recommended for devotees on Ekadasi, it is not recommended for Lord Visnu.

Adi 15               The Lord' s Pauganda-lila

   A synopsis of the Fifteenth Chapter is as follows. The Lord took lessons in grammar from Gangadasa Pandita and became very expert in commenting upon grammar. He forbade His mother to take grains on the Ekadasi day.

Adi 15.9             The Lord' s Pauganda-lila

   From the very beginning of His childhood life Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu introduced the system of observing a fast on the Ekadasi day. In the Bhakti-sandarbha, by Srila Jiva Gosvami, there is a quotation from the Skanda Purana admonishing that a person who eats grains on Ekadasi becomes a murderer of his mother, father, brother and spiritual master, and even if he is elevated to a Vaikuntha planet, he falls down. On Ekadasi, everything is cooked for Visnu, including regular grains and dahl, but it is enjoined that a Vaisnava should not even take visnu-prasada on Ekadasi. It is said that a Vaisnava does not accept anything eatable that is not offered to Lord Visnu, but on Ekadasi a Vaisnava should not touch even maha-prasada offered to Visnu, although such prasada may be kept for being eaten the next day. It is strictly forbidden for one to accept any kind of grain on Ekadasi, even if it is offered to Lord Visnu.

Madhya 24.342  The Sixty-One Explanations of the Atmarama Verse

   "You should recommend the avoidance of mixed Ekadasi and the performance of pure Ekadasi. You should also describe the fault in not observing this. One should be very careful as far as these items are concerned. If one is not careful, one will be negligent in executing devotional service.

TLC 12                      The Devotee

   However, one should generally accept the following principles to properly execute devotional service: (8) be satisfied by whatever is sent by Krsna for the maintenance of the body and hanker for no more, (9) observe fasting on Ekadasi day (this occurs on the eleventh day after the full moon and the eleventh day after the new moon. On such days no grains, cereals or beans are eaten; simply vegetables and milk are moderately taken, and chanting Hare Krsna and reading scriptures are increased.),

NoD 7        Evidence Regarding Devotional Principles

   In the Brahma-vaivarta Purana it is said that one who observes fasting on Ekadasi day is freed from all kinds of reactions to sinful activities and advances in pious life. The basic principle is not just to fast, but to increase one's faith and love for Govinda, or Krsna. The real reason for observing fasting on Ekadasi is to minimize the demands of the body and to engage our time in the service of the Lord by chanting or performing similar service. The best thing to do on fasting days is to remember the pastimes of Govinda and to hear His holy name constantly.

NoD 26             Stimulation for Ecstatic Love

   Some things which give impetus or stimulation to ecstatic love of Krsna are His transcendental qualities, His uncommon activities, His smiling features, His apparel and garlands, His flute, His buffalo horn, His leg bells, His conchshell, His footprints, His places of pastimes (such as Vrndavana), His favorite plant (tulasi), His devotee and the periodical occasions for remembering Him. One such occasion for remembrance is Ekadasi, which comes twice a month on the eleventh day of the moon, both waning and waxing. On that day all the devotees remain fasting throughout the night and continuously chant the glories of the Lord.

NoI 1                           

   Those who suffer from diseases of the stomach must be unable to control the urges of the belly, at least according to this analysis. When we desire to eat more than necessary we automatically create many inconveniences in life. However, if we observe fasting days like Ekadasi and Janmastami, we can restrain the demands of the belly.

RTW 2.9  Following in the Footsteps of Self-Realized Saints           books

   Those who strive to emulate the mahatmas never fall prey to passivity and regression. Their eagerness and determination to serve the Lord steadily increase. Such followers observe spiritual occasions like Janmastami is the appearance festival of Lord Krsna Janmastami and Ekadasi--literally the eleventh day. In the lunar month it is the eleventh day of the waxing and waning moon. Vaisnavas abstain from grains on this day.Ekadasi for the pleasure of the Lord, in the way that the previous acaryas and mahatmas have recommended.

730422SB.LA                  Lectures

   Just like... The, everything is described in the Bhagavad-gita. Just like in hospital. In hospital there are many patients, they are not eating anything on the Ekadasi day. Does it mean that is observing Ekadasi? He is simply hankering after, "When I shall eat, when I shall eat, when I shall eat?." But these students, they voluntarily don't eat anything. We, we don't say that you don't eat anything. Some fruits, some flowers. That's all. So param drstva nivartate. Just like a child. He has got in his hand something he's eating. and if you give him better thing, he will throw away the inferior thing and will take that better thing. So here is Krsna consciousness, this better engagement, better life, better philosophy, better consciousness, everything better. Therefore they can give up the sinful activities of life and that will promote to Krsna consciousness.

So this process should be adopted, how to become sukrtina. Sukrti means yajna-dana-tapa-kriya. One must perform sacrifices as prescribed in the sastras, and they must give in charity their hard-earned money for Krsna's cause. That is called dana. Yajna, dana, and tapasya. Tapasya. Just like tomorrow is Sri Rama-navami. The tapasya will be that all the devotees will observe fasting from morning till evening. This is called tapasya. Just like Ekadasi day--there is no eating sumptuously. Simply you take little fruits and flowers. Try to avoid that also. You don't take even water. That is really ekadasi. But because we cannot do it--in the Kali-yuga the time is different--therefore we are allowed to take little fruit and milk, which is called anukalpa.

SVA 2.11              Suddha-bhakata                     songs

   2) The holy days like Ekadasi and Janmastami are the mother of devotion for those devotees who respect them. Let the holy places of Krsna's pastimes be my places of worship, and bless me.

69-09-30.   Letter: Madhudvisa

   Regarding you first question, we observe Ekadasi from sunrise to sunrise. The 12 midnight is western astronomical calculation, but the Vedic astronomical calculation begins either from the sunrise or the moonrise. Generally it is sunrise. Our calculation is like this: when the sunrise is there, Ekadasi tithi (date) must be there. If Ekadasi tithi is not in the sunrise and the tithi begins, say after a few minutes after the sunrise, then we accept that day as previous to Ekadasi. All our ceremonies are calculated in that way. This means we must see the tithi during sunrise. Therefore, sometimes our dates of ceremonies do not exactly coincide like the western calculations. Just like Christmas Day they have fixed up on the 25th December, but our Janmastami tithi is not fixed up like that. My birthday is on the 1st September, 1896, but this year the tithi of my birthday was fixed for the 4th September. So it is very difficult to calculate, therefore we have to take help from the Indian expert almanac astronomers.

720422r2.tok              Conversations

Devotee: On ekadasi, we can offer the Deity grains?

Prabhupada: Oh yes. But not guru. Ekadasi observed by jiva-tattva, not by Visnu-tattva. We are fasting for clearing our material disease, but Radha-Krsna, Caitanya Mahaprabhu... Caitanya Mahaprabhu also may not be offered grains because He is playing the part of a devotee. Only Radha-Krsna, Jagannatha can be offered grains. Otherwise, Guru-Gauranga, no. And the prasadam should not be taken by anyone. It should be kept for next day.

Hare Krishna prabhu

Hare Krishna prabhu, my obeisances, glories to Srila Prabhupada, I am very happy to see that there are people who want to protest against the changes they have made to the books of Srila Prabhupada, without a doubt that is the biggest offense that they have done to srila prabhupada, all that happens because those people have no experience that srila prabhupada is a living guru and is aware of everything that happens to his movement, I share with you that I was told that when srila prabhupada was sick in vrndavana, A Bengali doctor came there and told Srila Prabhupada that only I know why you are so sick, and Srila Prabupad told him tell me to see if it is true, and the doctor told him that you are sick because you are visualizing what will happen to him. your movement after you leave, and Srila Prabhupada said yes that is the truth, I hope that by receiving this message you will find yourself happy in Krishna consciousness, in the service of Srila Prabhupada and his s devotees, Haripada dasa.

Arguments

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. I would like to know your opinion about this message.
Arguments, by Haripada dasa
I share that in the year 2017 I was in Kartika in Vrindavana, by arrangements of Krishna I met there with a disciple of Srila Prabhupada from the Dominican Republic and with another Latin devotee, we were talking and I asked them what they thought about the ritvik philosophy, they said who were totally against that philosophy, I thoughtfully and respectfully made a reflection, Srila Prabhupada ordered the ritvik philosophy, the orders of Srila Prabhupada and himself are the same, if someone is against ritvik philosophy, that means that is against Srila Prabhupada, when they heard this the two left without saying anything, there is another very heavy argument, there is a letter from Srila Prabhupada that says Kirtanananda is crazy, that is proven, you think that Srila Prabhupada would leave a madman like guru, the difference between Iskcon and us is that those who say that Srila Prabhupada authorized his disciples to be gurus can not prove that Srila Prabhupada said that, and the other group that says that Srila Prabhupada sent a special letter to all the temples of his movement on July 9, 1977 ordering his disciples to initiate in his name, yes they can show it because that letter is there, There is this letter, and anyone can read it. I am very happy that the devotees of the temple in the South of Spain have made a very good video glorifying Srila Prabhupada and exposing the truth as it is and they have posted it on YouTube, on the other hand I have heard that Purujit from that temple has made a new original Gita, I have asked you why because they have done that, the original Gita already exists, what is the need of another, the answer is total silence, total silence means that they are thinking that this person cares what we do, we are perfect and no one can question us, there is the problem, that is called pride, pride means pride at the highest level, my humble opinion is that no one can criticize God or Krishna and His unlimited incarnations and His devotees pure, because they live in pure goodness, pure goodness means without any contamination of passion and ignorance, but all of us are subject to being questioned.
A humble, intelligent and wise person learns even from their enemies, and a proud person does not learn from anyone, there is one thing that we should learn from the fake Iskcon, it is how well united and organized they are, they have their internal email that is called pamho, everything controlled so that viruses do not enter, they are very close and one another covers their abominable activities, etc., we have heard that now there are four groups of ritviks, who are fighting with each other, I have heard that Krishna Kantha is an unsociable person, Madhu pandit saying that he has learned a lot from the Putanas or Iskcon gurus, this is called total chaos, here everyone does what they want, and there is no communication or association, I tried to unite all the devotees of the world who believe that Srila Prabhupada is the truth, the way and the life, and if someone goes back home to God or Krishna, it is by the mercy of Srila Prabhupada, and the result has been that no one supported me and Do not make that attempt. But I hope that Srila Prabhupada and Krishna send more qualified devotees to fix all this chaos.

The initiation

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.
The initiation, by Haripada dasa
The process of Krishna consciousness or Bhakti-yoga is like a staircase that has nine steps, the first is faith, faith means having complete conviction that by chanting the Holy Name of God or Krishna will automatically fulfill all spiritual duties and complete all pious activities. Those who do not have that faith are inept to chant the Holy Name, the second step is the association with the devotees, the result of which is that the faith increases, and the third step is the initiation, in the introduction to the Nectar of devotion Srila Prabhupada says that the link with the spiritual master is called initiation. From the day the spiritual master gives the initiation, the link between Kṛṣṇaṇa and the person who cultivates Kṛṣṇa consciousness is established. Without being initiated by a bona fide spiritual master, the true connection with the Kṛṣṇa consciousness plane never occurs. Sobe this point of initiation among the devotees of Krishna there is a schism, schism means different opinions in a group of people, some think that Srila Prabhupada authorized his disciples to be gurus to continue the guru parampara and others say that Srila Prabhupada On July 9, 1977, he sent a special letter to all the temples of his movement ordering his disciples to initiate in his name. The difference between these two groups is that those who say that Srila Prabhupada authorized his disciples to be gurus did not you can prove that Srila Prabhupada said that, and the other group that says that Srila Prabhupada sent a special letter to all the temples of his movement on July 9, 1977 ordering his disciples to initiate in his name, yes they can prove it because that letter It is there, there is this letter, and anyone can read it. In 1986 I was initiated in Iskcon, that same year that guru fell, then in 1990 I was initiated with another guru, and when I was informed that Srila Prabhupada did not leave anyone as his successor, he ordered his disciples to initiate In his name, in order to not be an accomplice of all the offenses that were being done to Srila Prabhupada, I left Iskcon, then in 2008 a disciple of Srila Prabhupada initiated me in the name of Srila Prabhupada, that has helped me a lot to feel the Srila Prabhupada's presence in my life and to purify me of contamination because I was previously initiated by two false gurus. My humble opinion is that all the devotees who have been initiated by false gurus have never been connected to the guru parampara, a guru who is offending Srila Prabhupada because he does not want to obey the order to initiate in the name of Srila Prabhupada lives influenced by the modalities low of ignorance and passion, in that person there can be no kindness, that is why all those devotees should be initiated with disciples of Srila Prabhupada who are obeying Srila Prabhupada's order to initiate in his name.
I share that a devotee sent me this on initiation: Conference on SB 1.5.36 - Vrindavana, August 17, 1974: In many ways we can always remember Kṛṣṣṇa. That ... (Pause) ... if someone is chanting Hare Kṛṣṇa, that's fine, but singing because of the need for initiation. Initiation means that the disciples accept the instruction of the spiritual master and Kṛṣṇa accepts the disciple immediately to give him a spiritual body. This is the process. Otherwise, there is no need for initiation.

Ramanujacharya

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.
Ramanujacharya, by Haripada dasa
I share that in the life of Ramanuja there is a very instructive story and that I always liked very much, Ramanuja was the Acharya or spiritual master of the Sri Laksmi Sampradaya and lived in the temple of Sri Rangam, the President of this temple envied Ramanuja a lot, one day he invited him to his house to respect prasada or spiritual food, the president of the temple made arrangements for a devotee of the temple to go to his house and when they went to respect the prasada he told him that in the temple there is a big problem and The President requested his presence, the President apologized and went to the temple, when Ramanuja was going to respect the prasada the President's wife told him not to eat, because my husband has put poison in the prasada to kill you, Ramanuja was very sad and was, then he met a devotee and told him what had happened and told the devotee that I do not know what kind of contamination I will have in my heart for that person to act like that, the devotee consoled Ramanuja and e said that you are a pure devotee of God or Narayana and you do not have any pollution, we are in the material world, the world of envy, that's all, we see the attitude of Ramanuja by saying what kind of pollution I will have in my heart to that person should act like this, when the devotee is put in trouble by annoying people, he thinks it's my fault, that's why it's better to suffer an injustice than to commit it, sometimes the pure devotees of Krishna who have all the good qualities are put in the mood of a materialist, so we teach the mentality of the materialist, I remember a song by Bhaktivinoda Thakura that says that I am a great materialist, when I see others suffer I am very happy, and when I see the devotees of Krishna happy in Krishna consciousness that is my greatest suffering.
I take this opportunity to say that if someone does not like my messages, and I will erase them from my contacts, my inspiration for making these messages is in Chaitanya Charitamrita, adi-lila, 9, 5 there Srila Prabhupada says that we must write transcendental works for the purification itself, not to gain prestige. Srila Prabhupada also wanted us to transmit his teachings to everyone, without wanting anything in return, we must be very detached from the result, it would be a good idea to encourage everyone to do this, Srila Prabhupada told his disciple Yamuna that if you you do not share what you know with others, you will become envious.
