15 degrees below zero

 

15 degrees below zero, by Haripada dasa

I share more stories about Sankirtana, in 1986 we did the Christmas Marathon in Navarra, Spain, we were 15 devotees and we rented a very large apartment for the entire month of December, that winter was very hard, we were on the street distributing the first song From 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 no longer bear the cold we went to the van to warm up , I would tell people, please, a question, and people would answer me 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 our books out of compassion, I remember that we gave a Bhagavatam to a local policeman and this man called the Nueva Vrajamandala farm by phone and told them that here in Pamplona there are some young Hare Krishnas distributing the p In the first chant of Srimad Bhagavatam, I have read it and have come to the conclusion that these young people are heroes, because they are sacrificing their lives to give us the purest and most 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 El Srimad Bhagavatam, a luxury book with more than 1,000 pages in a car park in the center of Valencia, Spain, there were politicians, businessmen, professionals, etc., I gave a Bhagavatam to a very successful businessman, in a few minutes we made a great friendship, and when it was time to give 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 his wallet and looked in the wallet for the largest bill, I grabbed a bill of 10,000 pesetas or 100 dollars, when he saw this the businessman caught a fit of laughter, he began to laugh and he did not stop saying this to me I can believe it, I cannot believe it, his laughter infected me and I also started to laugh, when we laughed a lot, the businessman gave me his card and told me that if you want a job there you have your house, I told him thank you but I work for heh Supreme faith, God or Krishna, He is Pure Goodness and the Supreme Controller, the man was very pious and he told me that that is very good.

680 books

 

680 books, by Haripada dasa

I share another story of Sankirtana, it was the 1990 Christmas Marathon, we did it in Andalusia, southern Spain, we were 15 devotees and we rented a very large house for the entire month of December, in one day God or Krishna distributed through me 680 books, 340 Upadesamritas, the Nectar of Instruction and 340 Raja Vidyas, the King of Education, it was in a town in Seville, I arrived at the town at dawn, I parked the car in front of the Town Hall and began to distribute books, I was traveling with two bags of books, in one he carried the Upadesamrita and in the other the Raja Vidya, and he distributed the two books to people, a very funny story happened to me, I saw that an older man was watching me all morning as I distributed the books, And by the mercy of Krishna, this man also distributed books, when a person told me that he did not want the books, this older man approached and said to the man, as you say to the Missionary that you do not want the books, but if in the town tod Or the world has them, and began to say names of the townspeople who had bought the books, of course it was a town of about 10,000 inhabitants and there everyone knows each other, and this older man distributed in that way about 20 books, The truth is that the people of that town were very good people, from 9 in the morning until 1 PM, I had given 400 books, then I went to the car and I respected a giant sandwich of whole wheat bread with cheese and salad, I remember that Our cook and his assistant had many mystical powers, every day they cooked breakfast and made 15 giant sandwiches of whole wheat bread, they washed all the clothes of the devotees, and every day they went to the bank to enter the collection and washed the whole house every day, After respecting the sandwich I took a nap, and then in two more hours I distributed 280 books, even the local police encouraged me and told me you have to give all the books, you have to empty the car of books, that day I collected 82,000 pesetas or 820 dollars, after s from doing this one does not believe it, one only understands and accepts that this is the mercy of Srila Prabhupada and God or Krishna, and that one is only an instrument of them.

The world record for the distribution of Srila Prabhupada's books is held by a French devotee who in one day distributed 1,000 books of the great classics of India, they were Krishna's book that had almost 1,000 pages and the first song of El Srimad Bhagavatam which was over 1,000 pages long.

Anxiety

 

Anxiety, by Haripada dasa

We have physical illnesses such as influenza and others and there are also mental illnesses such as insanity and others and there are also diseases of the soul such as anxiety and others. There was a great spiritual master who belongs to our disciplic succession called Srila Bhaktivinoda Thakura, he was a Judge of the High Court, he made many judgments every day and the verdicts were perfect and amazing, the English judges of his day were very attracted to this great pure personality or devotee of God or Krishna, once they asked him how it was possible that we make several judgments every day and you make four times more judgments than us and your verdicts are always perfect, Srila Bhaktivinoda Thakura replied that I make the judgments as quickly as possible because I feel a lot of compassion to see that the defendant is anxious to know the verdict.

 That is the difference between a pure devotee of God or Krishna and a materialistic and atheistic person, the pure devotee of God or Krishna suffers when he sees others suffer and is happy when he sees others happy in the consciousness of God or Krishna, his Attitude in life is that all he does is to please God or Krishna and His devotees, and the materialistic and atheistic person suffers when he sees others happy in the consciousness of God or Krishna, and is very happy when he sees others suffer, his attitude in life is the law of the funnel, the wide for me and the narrow for others, lives in the concept of me and mine, pure selfishness.

From the President of the Government who has a head full of political problems to the simple sweeper, everyone lives full of anxiety. The question that arises is: What is the cause of anxiety? This is very well explained by my spiritual master in the meaning of the Maha-mantra Hare Krishna, there it says that we are parts and portions of God, that means we are superior energy of God, and when we come into contact with the lower or material energy, the situation is incompatible, but when we come into contact with the higher energy, called Hara or Radharani, the living entity is established in its normal happy condition.

In other words, the process of the consciousness of God or Krishna is a practice of devotional activities that transfer us from the material world to the spiritual world that is our true home, that is called returning home to return to God.

We would all like to have a free life and be happy, but that is not so easy, people generally think that happiness is in the sense gratification, but we see in practice that in countries where there is more opulence for sense gratification there are more suicides. We are not the temporary material body, but eternal spiritual souls, eternal loving servants of God or Krishna and His devotees, when we act in that consciousness there is eternal happiness and one lives without anxiety.

Thought to meditate:

"The slaughter of animals in slaughterhouses, bullfights, hunting and fishing, all these are acts of hatred and envy towards innocent animals."

Positive messages

 

Positive messages, by Haripada dasa
Positive Messages means messages that make you reflect and elevate your state of consciousness to a higher state. Eating, sleeping, fearing and mating are the basic activities of all living entities, the human way of life has the ability to understand who I am, who is God or Krishna, what is my relationship with God or Krishna and with everything, that It is this material manifestation, which is time, which is karma or activities and where I will go after death.
The other day my older brother Paco told me that Javier, the best thing you have is that you are always in the company of good people. My attitude to send these messages is healthy, my only intention is to share experiences, I would have liked people to respond more to these messages, but I understand that most people work very hard to stay and do not have time to respond to messages. I have received all the mercy of my spiritual master Srila Prabhupada and it is my duty to share my experiences with others, that helps me a lot to not be selfish or envious.
Srila Prabhupada says in his books that in the spiritual life the most important thing is attitude, and in the introduction of the Nectar of Devotion he says that the author of Bhakti-rasāmṛita-sindhu, Śrīla Rūpa Gosvāmī, states very humbly that he is only trying to spreading Kṛṣṇa consciousness throughout the world, although humbly is considered unsuitable for this work. That should be the attitude of all the preachers of the Kṛiṣhṇa consciousness movement, following in the footsteps of Śrīla Rūpa Gosvāmī. We should never think that we ourselves are great preachers, but we should always consider that we are simply instruments of the previous āchāryas, and simply by following in their steps we may be able to do something for the benefit of suffering humanity.

Bharata Varsa or India

 

Bharata Varsa or India, by Haripada dasa
Formerly India was called Bharata Varsa, in honor of the great Holy King Bharatha Maharaja, in the 18th chapter of the Nectar of devotion the great Holy King is glorified.
There is a good example of this detachment in relation to the character of King Bharata. In the Fifth Canto, Chapter 14, verse 43, of Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam it is said: "Emperor Bharata was so attracted to the beauty of the lotus feet of Kṛiṣhṇa that even in his youth life he abandoned all kinds of family attachments , children, friends, kingdom, etc., as if they were untouchable feces. ”
I remember a walk of Srila Prabhupada that said that this planet Earth is very good for spiritual atorrealization, and that the best place for spiritual life is India, and the best of India is Bengal, there is a saying that says what it is done in Bengal, all of India does it, and this is because Sri Gauranga Mahaprabhu appeared over 500 years ago. He is Krishna himself playing the role of Krishna's devotee, to teach us all to be Krishna's devotees.
The entire spiritual culture of India was shattered by caste brahmanas, they invented that no one can be a brahmana if one is not born in a brahmana family, Srila Prabhupada and the whole guru parallax shattered this invented idea, in the sastras or Scriptures it is said that if one is brahmana but not a devotee of Krishna, he is the lowest of mankind, and if one is born in a family of dogs, but becomes a devotee of Krishna, he is the most glorified and fortunate person.

Lord Risabadeva

 

Lord Risabadeva, by Haripada dasa
In the Gita, 9, 11, Krishna says that fools make fun of Me when I descend in human form. They do not know My transcendental nature as Supreme Lord of all that exists.
In relation to this verse of the Gita, in the Bhagavatam there is the story of Lord Risabadeva, who is an incarnation of God or Krishna, there in 5, 5, 30 it is said that Ṛiṣabhadeva began to travel through cities, villages, mining regions, fields, valleys, gardens, military camps, grazing lands, cowboy cabins, mountains, forests, lodges for travelers and hermitages. Everywhere, wherever he went, he was harassed by all kinds of ruinous people, who surrounded him like the flies that fly around the body of an elephant that leaves the forest. Wherever he went, they threatened him, beat him, urinated on him and spit on him. Sometimes people threw stones, excrement and dirt at them, and sometimes they ventured before Him. In that way, people insulted Him with bad words, and caused him great difficulties; but He did not worry about it, for he understood that the body has no other destiny. He was absorbed on the spiritual plane, and from His glorious spiritual position, He did not care about all those material insults. In other words, I understood perfectly that matter and spirit are different, and I had no bodily concept. Thus, without getting irritated with anyone, he walked alone around the world.
Before discarding Srila Prabupada he was being poisoned, you just have to imagine that God or Krishna and His representatives do all those things, that they will do to us, that's why Srila Prabhupada always said that preaching Krishna consciousness is nothing easy, and that all the chaos in the world now is because there are no devotees of God or Krishna, that is the only crisis.

Worldly Religion and Eternal Religion

 

Worldly Religion and Eternal Religion, by Haripada dasa
It is very interesting that the Bhagavatam maintains in its first pages its own uniqueness: dharmah projjhita-kaitavo `tra," All supposed religiosity covered by fruitive intentions is here completely rejected. " (S.B. 1, 1, 2) Fruitive intentions take the form of Kama (complacency of gross and subtle senses), artha (economic development), dharma (worldly or sectarian religiosity), and even moksa (liberation). These four goals are described as materialistic practices, and contaminate every attempt at true religion.
The motivating force behind each of them is the increase in sensual satisfaction. For example, an ordinary man may practice religiosity (dharma) because he actually seeks wealth (artha). Understanding that there is a Supreme Controller, he seeks to plead with his "god" and, thus, reaches his goal. This practice, by the way, is often misleading, and a person absorbed in this type of motivated religiosity mistakenly believes himself to be a serious practitioner of the spiritual life.
In reflecting, however, it becomes evident that such a religious is actually a materialist, since all his practice is directed towards the wrong end: the acquisition of wealth. Why do you want riches, for the sake of kama, or sense gratification, a goal that is directly contrary to religious principles. Moreover, when someone gets tired of this whole business, they look for moksa, or liberation.
Unfortunately, true liberation could not be further from an individual so deceived, since he has completely missed the purpose of spiritual practice. Although many fall prey to this mentality, the Bhagavatam urges its readers to go beyond this situation, and beyond the material illusions that trap even the well-intentioned, the student of the Bhagavatam must abandon all worldly goals and strive for achieving total purity.
If one desires a lower goal, one must approach a lower writing. That is why Srila Prabhupada says in the Chaitanya Charitamrita, adi-lila, 17, 169 that the Old and New Testament and the Koran is for meat eaters, and they are not eternal writings. Bhagavatam is for those who are serious in regard to the ultimate goal of life: love for God.
The first thing that eternal religion teaches you is that we are not the temporal material body, but eternal spiritual souls, in understanding and accepting this point it is natural for the person to be more interested in eternal relationships than in temporal ones, temporal relationships are with Family, society, friendships and worldly love, and eternal relationships means with God or Krishna and with His devotees.
The result of practicing eternal religion is that one knows God and loves him, and since there is only God or Krishna and His energies will naturally love everyone and everything.

Life is beautiful

 

Life is beautiful, by Javier Figuerola (Haripada dasa).
This message comes from love of life.
Life is beautiful because God is a non-dual spiritual personality full of bliss, full of knowledge and full of eternity and we as parts and portions are also in our pure and natural state we have three qualities mentioned above, as the saying goes : LIKE FATHER LIKE SON, the difference between God and us is that He is infinite and we are infinitesimal, being infinite God never falls from his position, but we are one of the infinite energies of God which is called marginal, that means say we have two trends, one is to be with God and love Him with devotion and the other is that we enjoy besides God, on this issue I suggest you read the book titled PARADISE LOST oF MILTON. Now a question may arise whether life is beautiful, because there are many people who suffer from anxiety, poverty, depression, diseases, cancer, etc. There is the law of karma, the infallible law, in society there are laws made by men, and if you break your nothing happens, for example if your you spend a red light and you do not see the police nothing happens, but the law of karma by God is infallible law of karma is the law of action and reaction, tHE BOOMERANG EVERYONE reap what you sow, IF YOUR CROPS RECEIVE GOOD GOOD AND EVIL CROP IF YOU RECEIVE tHE EVIL , EVERYONE dESERVES WHAT, eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth, when Jesus asked his disciples, what this person is born Maestro blinded by their reactions to this life or previous ?, Jesus answered: "He was born blind to show God's law, "God's law is the law of karma, karma or no individual and collective destiny. A few years ago in England in an interview with the coach of the England football team, asked the reason that a person is paralyzed, and he said that is their karma or destiny, that answer shocked much English and were one month in all media talking about the law of karma, we also have in Spain the child's history of Granada remembered all the details he had been a lama of Tibet in his previous life and the child were there and remembered everything . When a person is well versed in the law of karma and the law of transmigration of the soul and reincarnation, lives happily in this world and understands everything. The greatest gift God has given us is the FREE WILL, THE FREEDOM OF CHOICE, but we would ROBOTS, we can choose to live with God by obeying his laws and commandments or living exploiting and enjoying the art and suffering the reactions that entails. A society in which all follow the law of God, LOVE GOD ABOVE ALL THINGS, AND YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF, where people were always thinking of doing good to others, to share what they imagine God been given to others who have less, where people related with LOVE aND TRUST, where it did not exist in people's selfishness, envy, greed, lust, anger and ignorance, unfortunately the Bishop of Carterbury used to say: "MEN WANT THE KINGDOM OF GOD BUT NOT GOD". The most difficult thing to get rid of one is hypocrisy, people are already used to deceive themselves and others. "THIS PRESENT COMPANY IS cheaters and the cheated": As a great teacher and saint of India said. Unfortunately everything is tainted by personal and selfish interests, family, religion, politics, medicine, police, military, media, employers, unions, finance (bags, banks) etc, there is a great crisis of simple people at heart, full of integrity, honesty and wisdom. People that convey positive messages for people to reflect and change their lives for the better without wanting anything in return, they make people understand that this human body life is a blessing that God has given us, and we have the ability to understand things that animals can not entenden, who I am, I do in this world that suffer, that is what awaits me at the time of death, etc, animals are conditioned to eat, sleep, fear and mate, and if a person just does what animal is an animal too. Unfortunately today in the media only transmit negative messages, the other day a friend told me that seeing the telediaro you entered a depression, better not see it, nothing positive, all negative. Life is beautiful when one used to LOVE GOD AND WHEN ONE LOVES GOD, AS THERE IS ONLY GOD AND ENERGY, LOVE OF A NATURAL WAY TO ALL AND TO ALL. PEACE AND WELL.
Chant the Maha-mantra: Hare Krishna, Hare Krishna, Krishna Krishna, Hare Hare / Hare Rama, Hare Rama, Rama Rama, Hare Hare and be happy.
Srila Prabhupada Serve with love, faith, gratitude and attachment and your life will be successful and sublime.

Letter to Srila Prabhupada

 

Letter to Srila Prabhupada, by Haripada dasa

Celebrate the Transcendental Appearance of Srila Prabhupada, all the devotees who serve and love Srila Prabhupada make a letter called the Vyasa Puja letter, 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 Vyasa Puja day, 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, that is why Srila Prabhupada always said that the philosophy of Krishna consciousness is very easy. Because we don't have to invent anything, we just have to repeat what the previous spiritual teachers 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, understand and love God or Krishna, and since there is only God or Krishna and His energies, by 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 there are only deceivers and deceived. Thanks to Srila Prabhupada we have hopes of going home to return to God and Krishna and His devotees, and the experience of having been 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 spirit 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 trust the most and love the most. If Srila Prabupada hadn't come, what would have become of us.

Even at the time of death

 

Even at the time of death, Haripada Dasa Brahmachari

By the mercy of Srila Prabhupada understand and agree that lust or desire to enjoy matter is in the living entity until the moment of death, to illustrate this point Srila Prabhupada always told the story of the Muslim King who asked his prime minister and confidant that even when lust subsides , and the Prime Minister replied that lust is there until the time of death , the king was not satisfied with his answer , and the Prime Minister said that someday I'll show you . One day the Prime Minister told King they see me and bring your beautiful daughter , the King was with her beautiful daughter and entered the house of a dying or a person who was about to leave the body , when they announced that the King entered the dying man took no notice , but when they announced the entrance of the beautiful daughter of the King , the dying immediately wanted to see it , that the King understood everything.In the Bhagavad Gita in chapter 3 verse 43 the solution to overcome lust is given, there is said : "In this way , knowing the transcendental senses , mind and intelligence materials , one must control the lower self by of the higher and so by spiritual strength to conquer this insatiable enemy known as lust . "Ending this post with a beautiful verse of Sri Chaitanya Bhagavata , Madhya Kanda, Chapter 17 : " Such people without faith , sometimes play the role of a " guru " . , Collecting intelligence disciples who have donkeys and foxes These" gurus " ( imbeciles , idiots, jealous and donkeys ) instruct their disciples and they think their " guru " is equivalent to the Supreme Lord Himself . "OM TAT SAT PEACE AND WELL

By the mercy of Srila Prabhupada

 

By the mercy of Srila Prabhupada, we mean that the distinction between good and evil is simply a mental concoction.



SB 4.9.33

daivīṁ māyām upāśritya
prasupta iva bhinna-dṛk
tapye dvitīye ’py asati
bhrātṛ-bhrātṛvya-hṛd-rujā

Word for word:

daivīm — of the Personality of Godhead; māyām — the illusory energy; upāśritya — taking shelter of; prasuptaḥ — dreaming while asleep; iva — like; bhinna-dṛk — having separated vision; tapye — I lamented; dvitīye — in the illusory energy; api — although; asati — temporary; bhrātṛ — brother; bhrātṛvya — enemy; hṛt — within the heart; rujā — by lamentation.

Translation:

Dhruva Mahārāja lamented: I was under the influence of the illusory energy; being ignorant of the actual facts, I was sleeping on her lap. Under a vision of duality, I saw my brother as my enemy, and falsely I lamented within my heart, thinking, "They are my enemies."

Purport:

Real knowledge is revealed to a devotee only when he comes to the right conclusion about life by the grace of the Lord. Our creation of friends and enemies within this material world is something like dreaming at night. In dreams we create so many things out of various impressions in the subconscious mind, but all such creations are simply temporary and unreal. In the same way, although apparently we are awake in material life, because we have no information of the soul and the Supersoul, we create many friends and enemies simply out of imagination. Śrīla Kṛṣṇadāsa Kavirāja Gosvāmī says that within this material world or material consciousness, good and bad are the same. The distinction between good and bad is simply a mental concoction. The actual fact is that all living entities are sons of God, or by-products of His marginal energy. Because of our being contaminated by the modes of material nature, we distinguish one spiritual spark from another. That is also another kind of dreaming. It is stated in the Bhagavad-gītā that those who are actually learned do not make any distinction between a learned scholar, a brāhmaṇa, an elephant, a dog and a caṇḍāla. They do not see in terms of the external body; rather, they see the person as spirit soul. By higher understanding one can know that the material body is nothing but a combination of the five material elements. In that sense also the bodily construction of a human being and that of a demigod are one and the same. From the spiritual point of view we are all spiritual sparks, parts and parcels of the Supreme Spirit, God. Either materially or spiritually we are basically one, but we make friends and enemies as dictated by the illusory energy. Dhruva Mahārāja therefore said, daivīṁ māyām upāśritya: the cause of his bewilderment was his association with the illusory material energy.

We belong to the Brahma- Madhva- Gaudiya sampradaya Srila Prabhupada .By the mercy of Srila Prabhupada understand and accept God or Krishna sent from the spirit world to His devotees to preach God consciousness or Krishna in order to save the souls condiciondas . The practical result of these pure devotees serve God or Krishna is that one is free from envy , fear , prejudice , fanaticism and doubts and so you live a simple life with high thinking and so one is prepared to go back home back to Godhead .527 years ago appeared in Bengal in India Sri Gauranga golden avatara , He is God himself in the role of a devotee of God to teach us to be worshipers of God, by the mercy of Srila Prabhupada have his biography in 17 books 400 pages each when Sri Gauranga disappeared His divine teachings were covered for some time, God or Krishna Srila Bhaktivinoda Thakura sent and he preached the teachings of Sri Gauranga as they are , he prayed to God or Krishna to send him a helper its mission of preaching and his son appeared Srila Prabhupada Bhaktisiddhanta Saraswati Thakura , he founded the Gaudiya Matha and established throughout India 64 devotional institutes , started 60,000 disciples across India , he commanded our spiritual master AC Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada disseminate awareness of God or Krishna worldwide , he was 69 years old when he left India to fulfill the order of his guru and came to USA in 1965 , in his twelve years of preaching wrote 80 books of 400 pages each one of transcendental knowledge , hit around the world 14 times , started at 10,000 disciples, established 108 temples and thousands of farms , their books will be the law books for mankind in the next 10,000 years and all who follow his teachings lives with him . This is the story of the Gaudiya sampradaya.OM TAT SAT PEACE AND WELLI would like to know your opinion about the messages I send .

Negative and positive changes

 

 Negative and positive changes, by Haripada dasa

This message is related to the changes that have been made to Srila Prabhupada's books, these changes are negative and positive, this requires an explanation, an example of negative changes is for example verse 4, 34 of the Gita, in the original it says that the self-realized soul can impart knowledge to you because he has seen the truth, that is, he puts the guru in the singular, but they changed him and put the self-realized souls can impart knowledge to you because they have seen the truth, these changes have not been made to satisfy Srila Prabhupada but to satisfy the personal interests of the many iskcon gurus, or in other words, they belittled Srila Prabhupada to favor others, and that is a mistake and a great offense against Srila Prabhupada, in negative changes there is always malice against Srila Prabhupada, and now I expose the positive changes.

For example in the meaning of the Gita, 10, 29 it is said that there is also a planet of trees where Aryama presides, we all understand that there is no planet of trees, as I understand the devotee who was listening to Srila Prabhupada's tape and writing the Gita he understood it that way, but if you look at the verse word by word it says that pitrinam means of the ancestors or ancestors, so in the meaning it should put that there is also a planet of ancestors or ancestors where Aryama presides, another example of positive changes, in the CC, AL, 6, 73 Srila Prabhupada says in the purport that this verse was spoken by Queen Kunti, but actually that verse was spoken by Rukmini, positive changes means that we are helping Sria Prabhupada in his service of writing his books, and unlike the negative changes that are based on malice against Srila Prabhupada, the positive changes are based on love for Srila Prabhupada. I would like to know your opinion on all this.

Most amazing

 

Most amazing, by Haripada dasa

Once a great sage asked King Maharaja Yudisthir what is the most amazing thing there is, and the King replied that you see that relatives, friends and other people die, but one thinks that 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 speaking with some theologians and Srila Prabhupada telling them that God will come like death, and all his money, his prestige, his family, etc. It will be taken away, do you understand God now? God or Krishna says in the Bhagavat gita that I am death, I remember that in the fourth song of Srimad Bhagavatam to Maharaja Dhruva a plane from the spiritual world came for him and taking advantage that the personification of death came, he put his feet on the head of death to get on the plane, so until death he takes pleasure in serving the devotee of God or Krishna.

It is very interesting that the personification of death is represented as a skeleton with a harvest, that is to remind us that what you sow, harvest, in other words each person is the architect of his destiny, each one has what he 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., that you have because you deserve it because surely in your life In the past you did many pious activities, but do not forget that everything is temporary. God or Krishna has created everything, therefore everything belongs to 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 God or Krishna consciousness is a scientific process, and it is for very brave people who want to raise their consciousness to a higher state, unhappily nowadays people think that God or Krishna things have already gone out of style. , now we are going to live full of lust, anger, greed, envy, pride and ignorance, and we are going to suffer and be deceived, that is true happiness, and out of envy they criticize and say that the devotees of God or Krishna are parasites of society, they do nothing for the country, for the family, always chanting The Maha-Mantra Hare Krishna, Hare Krishna, Krishna Krishna, Hare Hare / Hare Rama, Hare Rama, Rama Rama, Hare Hare (the H is read as J de jota), it is said that in the paradise of the foolish and ignorant, being a wise man is great foolishness.

Extra education

 

 Extra education, by Haripada dasa

I share this beautiful verse from The Bhagavad Gita, 9, 2, there it says that this spiritual knowledge is the king of education, the most secret of all secrets, it is the purest knowledge, and because it gives perception of the self through enlightenment, it is the perfection of religion, it is eternal and it is joyfully executed. Following in the footsteps of our spiritual master Srila Prabhupada I try to state the facts very logically, nowadays finding a balanced person is very difficult to say that finding a pure devotee of God, usually people are so absorbed in life material that they forget to feed the soul, the result of this is that people live full of anxieties and disturbed, a person full of anxieties and disturbed will never experience peace or happiness.

The other day a friend told me that now in Spain they are introducing meditation in schools, they see that children so young are so full of anxieties and disturbed that meditation will at least calm their mind. But they don't know what true meditation is, true meditation means finding God who is in the heart and following his instructions, the result of this is that one becomes divine. We urgently need extra education, spiritual education, the first lesson is to understand and accept that we are not the material body, but eternal spirit souls, and that the relationship with the body is temporary, but the relationship with God or Krishna is eternal and full of bliss. and knowledge. In the spiritual world there are three things, there is God or Krishna, there are his devotees and there is the love relationship between God or Krishna and His devotees, the spiritual world is our natural environment, the material world is the perverted reflection of the spiritual world, therefore Because here people live full of anxieties and disturbed, it is as if you took a fish out of the water and gave it all the material facilities, the fish would never be happy since its environment is water. The goal of human life is to know and love God and go back home to God.

There is a big difference between a teacher and a spiritual master, the teacher is paid a salary to give certain information, but the spiritual master is empowered and authorized by God or Krishna to bring people back to Godhead, of course provided that the disciple obeys his instructions.
