Hare Krishna


Hare Krishna, with love and trust I share this beautiful verse of the Chaitanya Charitamrita, Antya-lila, 13, 133, the result of understanding and accepting this verse is that the person will become a pure devotee of God or Krishna and will never criticize anyone.
TEXT 133
vaiṣṇavera nindya-karma nāhi pāe kāe
sabe kṛṣṇa bhajana kare,--ei-mātra jāne
SYNONYMS
vaiṣṇavera—of the Vaiṣṇavanindya-karma—reproachable activities; nāhi e e—he does not hear; sabe—all; kṛṣṇa bhajana kare—are engaged in Kṛṣṇa's service; ei-mātra—only this; jāne—he understands.
TRANSLATION
He would not listen to blasphemy of a Vaiṣṇava, nor would he listen to talk of a Vaiṣṇava's misbehavior. He knew only that everyone was engaged in Kṛṣṇa's service; he did not understand anything else.
PURPORT
Raghunātha Bhaṭṭa never did anything harmful to a Vaiṣṇava. In other words, he was never inattentive in the service of the Lord, nor did he ever violate the rules and regulations of a pure Vaiṣṇava. It is the duty of a Vaiṣṇava ācārya to prevent his disciples and followers from violating the principles of Vaiṣṇava behavior. He should always advise them to strictly follow the regulative principles, which will protect them from falling down. Although a Vaiṣṇava preacher may sometimes criticize others, Raghunātha Bhaṭṭa avoided this. Even if another Vaiṣṇava was actually at fault, Raghunātha Bhaṭṭa would not criticize him; he saw only that everyone was engaged in Kṛṣṇa's service. That is the position of a mahā-bhāgavata. Actually, even if one is serving māyā, in a higher sense he is also a servant of Kṛṣṇa. Because māyā is the servant of Kṛṣṇa, anyone serving māyā serves Kṛṣṇa indirectly. Therefore it is said:
keha māne, keha nā māne, saba tāra dāsa
ye n
ā māne, tāra haya sei pāpe nāśa
"Some accept Him, whereas others do not, yet everyone is His servant. One who does not accept Him, however, will be ruined by his sinful activities." (Cc. Ādi 6.85)

Death

Death, by Haripada dasa
It is said in the Harinama Chintamani that people who are absorbed in material life begin to worship God or Krishna due to fear of death.
Krishna says in the Bhagavad gita I am death, I have a DVD where Srila Prabhupada is talking to some theologians in Los Angeles and tells them that Krishna will come in the form of death and will take everything, his money, his family, your work, etc., have you now understood God or Krishna?
Krishna says in the Bhagavad gita I am death, for the devotee of God or Krishna, He is the best friend, therefore death is his best friend, because the devotee of God or Krishna knows that when I leave this material body temporary I will go with God or Krishna to the eternal spiritual world, and I will never again return to this temporary material world.
We will experience that we are not the temporal material body, when we know who we are in the spiritual world, for example, at the end of his book entitled Sri Navadvipa-dhama Mahatmya Srila Bhaktivinoda Thakura says that devoid of external consciousness, in a dream-like state, samadhi, a wonderful figure will appear executing his constitutional service, I will recognize myself, it is I, Kamala Mañjari, the eternal assistant of Ananga Mañjari, the goddess of my heart.
Srila Gaura Kisora ​​dasa babaji always said that we don't have to do anything artificial, when we chant the Maha-Mantra Hare Krishna, Hare Krishna, Krishna Krishna, Hare Hare / Hare Rama, Hare Rama, Rama Rama, Hare Hare, without offense, God or Krishna will reveal to us who we are in the spirit world.
The most amazing thing is that one sees how their relatives, neighbors, friends, etc., die or leave their bodies, but one thinks that this will not happen to me.
