tatastha origin theory - Tamohara dasa

Posted by Tamohara dasa ADMIN. on March 13, 2026 at 7:52

Lord Krsna says' "Never was there a time when I did not exist, nor you..."

न त्वेवाहं जातु नासं न त्वं मेने जनाधिपाः ।

न चैव न भविष्यामः सर्वे वयमतः परम् ॥

Transliteration:

na tvevāhaṁ jātu nāsāṁ na tvaṁ neme janādhipāḥ

na caiva na bhaviṣyāmaḥ sarve vayam ataḥ param

Translation:

"Never was there a time when I did not exist, nor you, nor all these kings; nor in the future shall any of us cease to be".

Some try to say jiva "originates" in some neutral tatastha state.

But Krsna says we always existed, and the self cannot be said to exist unless it is the self, ie complete, with all devotional moods and services inherent. Everything spiritual is complete like the Lord, but He is the maintainer and controller.

Those trying to tell you otherwise are unable to grasp eternity, they must have a beggining and an end, so they profess this tatashta origin idea, and insist on it, even though it logically contradicts Lord Krsna in Bhagavada Gita.

Hari-kīrtana is Sāma Veda

Prabhupāda: The Sāma Vedas mean the realization of God by singing, by music. That is Sāma Veda.

Dr. Patel: By music. "I am the soul of the music."

Prabhupāda: Yes. Therefore hari-kīrtana. Hari-kīrtana is Sāma Veda, glorifying the Supreme. That is stated in some other place.

spread the teachings of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu in a simple manner, while being careful not to manipulate them even slightly, will be our sole bhajana

..Only the endeavour to spread the teachings of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu in a simple manner, while being careful not to manipulate them even slightly, will be our sole bhajana. But if a person waits till he becomes perfect before he disseminates those teachings, he will be deprived of the service of preaching. Indeed, he will remain in that immature state throughout his whole life.

Even if we fully lack the capacity to understand the pure and simple teachings of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu, if we just pass them on, carrying them to the next person like a load-carrying donkey, we will still receive Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu’s blessings. This is, of course, provided we do not adulterate those teachings with any of our own mental speculations."

Srila Bhaktisiddhanta says it is like an arrow of deliverance shot by Vishnu, it will meet it's mark

Posted by Tamohara dasa ADMIN. on February 25, 2026 at 11:13

Yes, well noted! Srila Bhaktisiddhanta says it is like an arrow of deliverance shot by Vishnu, it will meet it's mark, though it must first sail across the field etc. Similarly, once He has determined that the soul is due for liberation, He makes that sure arrangement. The conditioned soul sees the pastimes of enlightenment ocurring in his life, and may think he is the doer, maybe still some maha maya, but it is the Lord's arrangement. No one goes to Goloka without the Lord's arrangement, to make it so.

That is our entance by merciful acceptance into pastimes of yogamaya, He has saved us, but we lament and strive, we advance toward our goal through using knowledge, sadhana, self control, but after a while love arises and we are no longer fearful nor simply hopeful but experiencing tasteful, relishable, satisfying ; living love of Krsna and Radha, and Friends. Everything powerful and desirable is fulfilled, as Gopal looks after us persoanlly then, in His Vrndavana or Dwarka etc. pamh

Sri Krsna bestowing blessings to all his creation.

ŚB 7.3.13 तवासनं द्विजगवां पारमेष्ठ्यं जगत्पते ।
भवाय श्रेयसे भूत्यै क्षेमाय विजयाय च ॥ १३ ॥ tavāsanaṁ dvija-gavāṁ
pārameṣṭhyaṁ jagat-pate
bhavāya śreyase bhūtyai
kṣemāya vijayāya ca Synonyms

tava — your; āsanam — position on the throne; dvija — of the brahminical culture or the brāhmaṇas; gavām — of the cows; pārameṣṭhyam — supreme; jagat-pate — O master of the whole universe; bhavāya — for improvement; śreyase — for the ultimate happiness; bhūtyai — for increasing the opulence; kṣemāya — for the maintenance and good fortune; vijayāya — for the victory and increasing prestige; ca — and.

Translation

O Lord Brahmā, your position within this universe is certainly most auspicious for everyone, especially the cows and brāhmaṇas. Brahminical culture and the protection of cows can be increasingly glorified, and thus all kinds of material happiness, opulence and good fortune will automatically increase. But unfortunately, if Hiraṇyakaśipu occupies your seat, everything will be lost.

KĪRTANA FOR MONEY, WOMEN AND FAME

Posted by Tamohara dasa ADMIN. on February 3, 2026 at 14:09

KĪRTANA FOR MONEY, WOMEN AND FAME

“There is a drought of kīrtana in the world today, and its cause is the disregard for the disciplic succession of spiritual masters. The kīrtana that is going on is materialistic kīrtana, it is conducted for business purposes, for accumulating money, women and worldly fame, for the pleasure of the senses. The pleasure of Kṛṣṇa’s senses or His satisfaction is not a consideration. Mahāprabhu referred to tauryātrika, i.e., the musical arts of dancing, singing and playing instruments, as a vice. Even so, when used in the service of Kṛṣṇa, they are the best form of worship. If we analyse kīrtana as it is conducted today, however, it falls into the category of vice.” (Śrīla Purī Gosvāmī Mahārāja) No photo description available.

Bhakti Tirtha Swami: Srila Prabhupada's missionary efforts have resulted in large numbers of "non-Hindus" adopting the path of Vaishnavism. Predictably, many of these foreign devotees have tried to negotiate entry into the Jagannath temple. Most importantly, the celebrated spiritual master, Prabhupada himself, visited Puri on January 26, 1977, and although he, being Indian, was personally allowed to enter, he came there only to implore temple authorities on behalf of his Western followers. Prabhupada argued as follows:

This stumbling block should be dissolved. You want to pack Jagannath Swami up inside your home, and do not want to allow His mercy to expand. He is Jagannath, the Lord of the Universe, not only the Lord of Puri, or the Lord of Orissa. He is Jagannath. Krishna declares in the Bhagavad-gita that He is Lord of all. So why should you deny the inhabitants of the world? Why not allow them the darshan of Jagannath? Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu never approved such denial. He sai

Prabhupāda: No, we do not work like ordinary men.

Reporter: Yes. How is it possible sir, if, for someone who is totally dedicated to your religion, how is it possible for them to survive in a world that demands people go out to work for a living?

Prabhupāda: Yes, Kṛṣṇa has helped us. Just like we had no house, but Kṛṣṇa has given us this house through George.

Reporter: But I mean, do your followers work, in the...?

Prabhupāda: No, we do not work like ordinary men.

Reporter: But I mean there must be a... But we couldn’t live our life like this. People have got to work, have they not?

Prabhupāda: No, no. This is the mistaken philosophy, that people has got to work. That is a mistaken philosophy. Nobody has got to work. Just like work means... Suppose if you have given me food, bread. I go there and take my food. Do you think it is work?

Reporter: No, but somebody has to...

Prabhupāda: First of all answer this. You have offered me some dish here.

Reporter: Hmm.

Prabhupāda: So I go and eat. Do you think it is work?

*_bhakti-tejo-samṛddhyā tu svotkarṣa-jñānavān naraḥ_*

*_kadācid duṣṭa-buddhyā tu keśi-ghnam avamanyate_*

“Keśī, a demon in the form of a horse, personifies the practitioner’s conception of being more expert than others in devotional service. When he comes to Vraja, he creates a great disturbance. *As a Vaiṣṇava gradually begins proclaiming his own superiority, a mentality of disrespect for the Lord arises and the devotee falls from his position.* Therefore, it is most important to prevent this evil mentality from entering the heart. *Even if one is expert in devotional service, a Vaiṣṇava will never give up the quality of humility.* If one does so, then there is a need for killing Keśī. This is the eighteenth obstacle.”
