JUST SEE AND DO ACCORDING TO SRILA PRABHUPADA'S ACTIONS;

They say Srila Prabhupada said formal initiation is not needed.

What he did; Initiated disciples all over the planet.

They say Srila Prabhupada appointed gooroos to replace him.

What he did ; Used ritviks since the early seventies on his behalf. He told us to change nothing.

They say women should be Gooroos, and same-sex marriage is TOO cool with them.

What he did ; Disallowed all homosexual activity, and never appointed a female as a temple president or leader or kirtan leader, almost ever.

Just do what Srila Prabhupada did.

Gaudiya Vaisnavas have a clear concept of God.

Just as we may shiver in delight at the radiant ecstatic Person Who is God, so sometimes Govinda looks at each every one, the Father and creator, like a farmer examining His pride of horses, or a jeweller with cases of wondrously perfect empowered living images of Him, gems. He sees perfect and so beautiful!! sparks of His own perfect energy, special radiant beings each with infinite history and wonder. !! the perfect jewels, !! Who are His created beings, ! and His heart opens in ecstasy and He shivers and tears form of love and pleasure to see each and every unique beautiful Person, he has created. That is us. We belong to this, this is the eternal Truth.

 

This is Gopal Deva, Who occupies my home altar.

Lord Krsna loves all of you, Friends! He sees you search and your sufferings and He feels anguish to see His dear Friends in such a state. Srila Prabhupada told us so, came here to deliver us.
Sri Krsna is indeed everywhere and in all things. It means very little to him if you are in a black, white, red body, He created each and every one. Everyone is worthwhile has value, is a jewel of Govindas' creation. He misses your smiling exchange, your subtle nuances and laughter. Oh my Friends! There is a pure love awaiting you !
Yes, you can reattain happy eternal life! There is a homeland for you! There the land, that holiest of places, that natural warmth and happiness awaits again, also misses you, Vrndavana. You used to play so freely there, free of pain or anxieties, surrounded by eternal nature. Yes! We should all go back there.

One can renounce the world and go to Mathura or Vrndavana, worship the land, the residents, chant Hare Krsna, purty much give up eating and sleeping, and of course never indulge any illicit activities. Sri Vrndavana dhama is the most exalted of Vaisnava dhamas. Sri Krsna is there, with us at every second.

Vrndavana magnifies 100x the good service, as well as reactions for sins. Neophytes are advised by Srila Prabhupada, therefore, to only visit for three days. One may reside there, if they are fully self-controlled, and can live a life of full concentration and determination in service. One is in a bad status if they engage in illicit activity there, or become familiar and offensive to others..

Absorbtion in bhajana, giving up eating and sleeping, is no business of imperfect devotees. Srila Prabhupada recommends instead a total concentration on sankirtan and such preaching activities. He, Srila Prabhupada, says that this is the benchmark, the specialty of our sampradya.

For myself who was always engaged in sankirtana and support activities, this is what i know and always want; to be with the pure devotees chanting Hare Krsna in all venues, for the benefit of the world. One develops a taste quickly, advances in spiritual life quickly, finds bliss and ecstasy easily.

Harinama sankirtan is like a very addictive medicine that one wants more of. My favorite is harinama snakirtan. One feels warm and high as a kite after a good kirtan.

Some devotees go to an extreme and collect hundreds of dollars and sell many books in a single day ! pamho ! That is extreme, not required for ordinary devotees, hard to maintain that pace, but more like a super mystic power, given them by God to do their service. One should get in where they fit in, do your best, neither over endeavoring nor being too slack.

Hare Krsna!

 

 

 

 

 

At a point, the endless formality, that seperates you from your beloved, is spiritually hurtful. It is like your Mother treating you like a mere servant or acquaintance. That is not your real relationship yet... it actually keeps you apart. All that formality becomes a trap of seperation.

All the rules and regulations are a false front, a shoring-up of a difficult situation of the soul. Inner change and great Divine Mercy are required. One can but self-examine, contemplate your true motives deeply, and will to change !, to be truly identifying with Sri Krsna, and not just looking in.

He and we, are One, indeed and for real, so best to consciously shuck off the seperatist mentality, try to understand that your own best interests and those of the Supreme Godhead are one when pure, or it's gonna continue to be a hard road. You are not a loser if God Govinda accepts you into His fold. You become like God, in fact, a perfect winner ! Vaikuntha is filled with such ecstatic perfect Beings.

I am everyone's friend. Even my enemies, I do not hate them, rather pity the maya that engulfs us all. Everyone is eternally and closely connected to God, Sri Krsna.

We are pure ecstatic beings, parts of Sri Krsna. The clouds covering us as we pass through this realm may bar our vision, but the souls are all Good. We are infinitesimals, so may become overwhelmed for some time by the immense potencies of Mahamaya, if we do not gain the full mercy of Yogamaya, the internal essential power of absorption in loving service to Sri Krsna.

We can obtain that mercy by chanting Hare Krsna and taking the dust of the lotus feet of Sri Krsna Caitanya Mahaprabhu and His appointed representatives. Their only business is to reengage us in pure devotional service, delivering fallen forgetful souls, so let us take advantage while we can !
