What is the difference between a sakama devotee {mixed devotee} and a akama devotee {Pure Devotee}?

Srila Prabhupada....."The difference between sakāma and akāma devotees is that when sakāma devotees, like the demigods, fall into difficulty, they approach the Supreme Personality of Godhead for relief, whereas akāma devotees, even in the greatest danger, never disturb the Lord for material benefits. Even if an akāma devotee is suffering, he thinks this is due to his past impious activities and agrees to suffer the consequences. He never disturbs the Lord. Sakāma devotees immediately pray to the Lord as soon as they are in difficulty, but they are regarded as pious because they consider themselves fully dependent on the mercy of the Lord. As stated in Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam (10.14.

Our mission is to promote spiritual culture, not to protect Hindu dharma.

“The ultimate goal of this movement is to educate people in how to love God. Caitanya Mahaprabhu approves the conclusion that the highest perfection of human life is to learn how to love God. The Krishna consciousness movement has nothing to do with the Hindu religion or any system of religion. No Christian gentleman will be interested in changing his faith from Christian to Hindu. Similarly, no Hindu gentleman of culture will be ready to change to the Christian faith. Such changing is for men who have no particular social status. But everyone will be interested in understanding the philosophy and science of God and taking it seriously. One should clearly understand that the Krishna consciousness movement is not preaching the so-called Hindu religion. We are giving a spiritual culture that can solve all the problems of life, and therefore it is being accepted all over the world.״

Bhagavad-gita As It Is 9.12

"Those who are thus bewildered are attracted by demonic and atheistic views. In that deluded condition, their hopes for liberation, their fruitive activities, and their culture of knowledge are all defeated."

Purport

There are many devotees who assume themselves to be in Kṛṣṇa consciousness and devotional service but at heart do not accept the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Kṛṣṇa, as the Absolute Truth. For them, the fruit of devotional service – going back to Godhead – will never be tasted. Similarly, those who are engaged in fruitive pious activities and who are ultimately hoping to be liberated from this material entanglement will never be successful either, because they deride the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Kṛṣṇa. In other words, persons who mock Kṛṣṇa are to be understood to be demonic or atheistic.

As described in the Seventh Chapter of Bhagavad-gītā, such demonic miscreants never surrender to Kṛṣ

Ads, all commercial visuals, movies, etc., everything is sped up, scenes flash quickly, and move so fast you cannot finish reading them, what to speak of intelligent analysis and processing. Information and suggestive scenes used to be presented in a normal human fashion and speed ; but now they drive it all fast into your head before you have a chance to think, seeking to take control of your emotional responses and actions, seeking to push materialistic and greedy ideas into your life.

The idea is psychic "driving", ie forcing information into your consciousness before you have a chance to think and consider. The mind reacts without reason, accepts lies for facts, based on immediate sensory overload. You feel emotions, don't even know why, and this capture of you is their intent. They, the ultra-rich rakshasas, man-eating demons, want us reacting and doing as told, like automatons.

They actually create a false self inside you, built by lies and impressions forced upon your mind. T

At any moment, you can die. Excerpt from Srila Prabhupada’s Śrī Caitanya-caritāmṛta, Ādi-līlā 1.15 April 8, 1975, Māyāpur

Srila Prabhupada ~ At any moment, you can die. Death, there is no guarantee. But it is a guarantee that you must die. That is guaranteed. But when you will die, that is not guaranteed.

Therefore we must be prepared for death at any moment. Therefore a devotee is not afraid of death. He knows that death may come at any moment.

We are... Nowadays, it has..., the death is very cheap. Because we are using this motorcar, these aeroplanes, so many things, ships and other things for transportation, and there is, every moment there is danger of accident, collapse, everything. So death is now very cheap. So we must be prepared for death at any moment.

There is no guarantee, that "I am not yet old enough. I am not yet eighty years, ninety years. Why shall I die?" No. You may be twenty years, twenty-five years or younger than that. Death is assured, and it can take place at any moment.

Therefore our only duty is to think of Kṛṣṇa, Puruṣottama, so that we may die at any moment, but we bec

“The first manifestation of the vaibhava feature of Kṛṣṇa is Śrī Balarāmajī. Śrī Balarāma and Kṛṣṇa have different bodily colors, but otherwise Śrī Balarāma is equal to Kṛṣṇa in all respects."

Purport

To understand the difference between svayaṁ-rūpa, tad-ekātma-rūpa, āveśa, prābhava and vaibhava,

Śrīla Bhaktivinoda Ṭhākura has given the following description. In the beginning, Kṛṣṇa has three bodily features:

(1) svayaṁ-rūpa, as a cowherd boy in Vṛndāvana;

(2) tad-ekātma-rūpa, which is divided into svāṁśaka and vilāsa;

(3) āveśa-rūpa.

The svāṁśaka, or expansions of the personal potency, are

(1) Kāraṇodakaśāyī, Garbhodakaśāyī, Kṣīrodakaśāyī

(2) incarnations such as the fish, tortoise, boar and Nṛsiṁha.

The vilāsa-rūpa has a prābhava division, including

Vāsudeva,

Saṅkarṣaṇa,

Pradyumna

There is also a vaibhava division, in which there are twenty

So we are preaching Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam all over the world. We have translated into English Bhagavad-gītā, Caitanya-caritāmṛta, Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam. And they are being received very nicely. In the Christmas period in a week, from 17 December to 24 December, our report is we have sold books, small and big, seventeen lakhs.

Śṝīla Prabhupāda said:
The asuras, the demons and proclaimed atheists, actually challenge God. If it were not for our Supreme Father, we would not see the light of day, so what is the point of challenging Him? In the Vedas it is stated that there are two classes of men, the devas and asuras, the demigods and demons. Who are the devas? The devotees of the Supreme Lord are called devas because they also become like God, whereas those who defy the authority of the Supreme are called asuras or demons. These two classes are always found in human society.

Madhusudana Das

A Secret Service Paper Trail: How the Laws of Logic Exposed the Forgery of the Century.

In the history of global religious organizations in the 20th century, few documents have generated as much heated debate as the famous circular letter of July 9, 1977, issued to ISKCON, which defined the procedure for appointing spiritual successors in the International Society for Krsna Consciousness. For decades, researchers have debated the authenticity of this order, but the use of forensic methods and strict laws of logic has allowed this detective story to be brought to a final conclusion. A detailed analysis indicates that the organization's leader, philosopher and translator Srila Prabhupada, physically could not have signed this document. Behind him stood the high-tech work of professionals from foreign intelligence agencies.

A soft heart is compared to honey, to butter and to nectar. And the condition of the mind is compared to sunshine. As honey and butter become melted even in slight sunshine, softhearted persons become easily melted. Nectar, however, is by its nature always liquid. And the hearts of those who are in pure ecstatic love with Kṛṣṇa are by nature always liquified, just like nectar.

Karma and bhakti yoga liberation. - Tamohara dasa, acbssp.

Posted by Tamohara dasa ADMIN. on May 7, 2026 at 14:48

What we experience in our temporary embodied lives is more-or-less preset. The body acts as a filter mechanism, a receiver that "plays" the script, the whole thing known as KARMA. This karmic realm is like a wound-up clock, or a machine made of matter. It is a projection or simulation of the eternal realms, but lesser, temporary and much suffering and mad adventure, projected by Mayadevi under the Lorrd's service direction, to entertain the desires of the jiva souls.

One who is shown this is liberated if they act upon the knowledge. A brahmana in ISKCON should be in a liberated status. The sincere devotee acting on behalf of their bonafide Sri Guru, ie Srila Prabhupada, as according to his directions, is not involved in mundane karmic things any longer. And so via yukta vairagya, ie bhakti yoga, one can accomplish all things in life, and yet walk above the karmic trap by these awakened devotional liberated yogamaya actions.

No photo description available.

It was the beginning of 1977. Prabhupada was in the Bombay temple. He was very sick. He had stopped all food intake – he was taking 1/4 a cup of orange juice per day. His body had only bones left – there was no flesh. And yet, he was insisting that he wanted to go to London. The doctors had given up responsibility. But as always, he was adamant.

At this time, one Pancaratrika Pandit from Bangalore named Sampat Kumar Bhattacarya came to know about Srila Prabhupada’s situation. So, he took a flight from Bangalore to Bombay – which in those days was a huge thing for a Brahmin priest – and met Prabhupada, and asked for a private meeting. Generally, nobody was allowed a private meeting, but when he said that he specially came by flight from Bangalore to meet Srila Prabhupada, he was allowed a private meeting. So, everybody was asked to go out, and they talked.

The conversation was like this: Sampat Kumar: ‘Swamiji, I am feeling very pained that you are suffering like this.’

Yep

Checked the ships database that holds all records of registered ships.

So I'm wondering why were led to believe it was an older ship which in its later days renamed and then scrapped in 1963

Rather than the one laid down in 1959 and entered service in 1061?

Is it that it's more powerful if you see Srila Prabhupada on an old ship rather than a relatively modern ship for its time?

I'm just wondering"

Srila Prabhupada´s favorite photo, which ke kept on his altar for his private worship. The pose, yugala piriti, is the perfect expression of gaudiya vaisnava philosophy of Radha Krishna rasa.

He kept it as the main worshippable photo on the altar in his rooms at the LA temple. He said the pose was the perfect expression of Gaudiya Vaishnava philosophy of Radha Krishna rasa. But, he never put it in his books, probably because it could be misunderstood by the common man. It is so intimate that only the most elevated devotees can understand and appreciate it.
