"Thereafter, King Vṛṣabhānu, as per the advice of the goddess, arrived at the āśrama of Mahā-muni Kratu on the sandy banks of the river Virajā, received harināma mahā-mantra, and also became acquainted with the process of chanting śrī nāma. Kratu Muni, having given the harināma mahā-mantra to King Vṛṣabhānu, once again said to him: “Son! For Vaiṣṇavas, and especially in the case of Śākta, Saura, Śaiva, and Gāṇapatya initiation, only the performance harināma-kīrtana purifies the aural faculties. In other words, because of impurities within the aural faculty, without first of all having harināma-dīkṣā, no other mantra will bear results. Ears into which harināma has not entered are impure like the ears of a dead body. In other words, as long as one does not receive harināma-dīkṣā, one’s ears remain impure. Once harināma enters, one attains purity. O Mahābāho (strong-armed one)! I have given you this harināma. Hereafter, practice this with full concentration of your heart and soul.” cour

"...In a very sweet voice, Krishna says, “Radhe, where is viraha? Where is separation? There is no separation, Radhe. In tattva there is no separation at all. I am always with You in Vrajabhumi. This viraha is the topmost platform in prema, loving affairs. If there had not been viraha then this prema would have met an untimely death, akala mrtyu. Therefore viraha keeps the prema alive.
“Radhe, Your love for Me is like a very deep ocean. In order to reach such an ocean and to drown in that deep ocean I have assumed this form, Jagannath. In this form I will stay eternally in Sri Kshetra.”
This is Jagannath-vigraha, radha-viraha-vidhura, Krishna feeling intense separation from Radha. In the form of a log of wood, He is floa

"So in the material world the varieties are reflection of the spiritual world. Here is also father, but this is imitation father. But there is also father, but that is not father..... It is imitation father. A friend is imitation friend. Real friend is Krsna. Real father is Krsna. Here husband, imitation husband. Real husband is Krsna.
Master, imitation master. Real master is Krsna. We have to give up this imitation."

Three lost prasadam-related Iskcon Canada holidays/pastimes;

1 Varuni Juice day
2 feed the brahmanas sweets day
3 Ooorts
1 Once a year, I think it is Balarama's appearance day, i can't remember, the cooks would prepare buckets of Vaurni juice, made with whey and excess honey. The devotees would drink it, and get quite intoxicated and laugh and look swimmy-eyed a lot... great annual fun.
2 Also once a year, also cannot recall which day, the temple would bring out bowls of rasagullas and burfi and sandesh, and the brahamans would be fed so many sweets their mouths would be stuffed full of gulabjamuns. I used to donate a lot of mine to Swapana Prabhu, who would then feel obliged to eat all of them out of respect for the brahamanas! You'd feel it in your next day's japa though...
3 If one could somehow manage to steal some prasadam off of a favorite devotee's plate, it was called oorts, and consided most auspicious to eat or take.

Graphene Oxide in All Vaccines Makes the Vaccinated Walking Time Bombs

Graphene oxide in all vaccines makes the vaccinated walking time bombs CLAIRE EDWARDS

In a new video, La Quinta Columna reveal that graphene oxide (GO) has been found in saline solution, and they deduce that the use of GO is much, much more widespread and started much earlier than just the “Covid” vaccines.[i]  Babies have been found to be magnetic, and people who have not taken the “Covid” jab or been PCR tested or worn masks are also exhibiting magnetism, so it has to be coming from elsewhere. They deduce that the GO has been used in all vaccines, including tetanus, meningitis, children’s vaccines, etc., for some years.

Picture

La Quinta Columna says that GO was also in the 2018 flu vaccine, and that could account for why people exhibit magnetism despite not having had the “Covid” vaccine.  This could also account for the high number of “flu” deaths after the 2018 flu vaccine campaign.

Srila Prabhupada, prophet

*Govinda Dasi*
*June 25 at 8:32 AM*
This morning I was remembering something so very clearly. It was in *1968,* and on this particular day, *Srila Prabhupada* was looking very pensive, thoughtful, as if he were *watching a movie of the future.*
Often he would comment on *events in this world,* though we were never connected by *tv or internet—only an occasional newspaper* that would come our way.
But *Srila Prabhupada* would look around and seem to *know what was going on in the world as mystic seers do,* since those *siddhis were always available to him.*
I was always totally unaware of anything that was going on in the outside world, since I considered his room to be *MY world,* and *HE was all the people.*
I was young, *only twenty,* and nothing in the world of current affairs had ever interested me. In high school and college, only Thoreau’s *“Walden Pond”* sparked my interest.
On this day, I went in and sat down quietly in front of his trun

WHAT ARE WE THINKING ABOUT?

WHAT ARE WE THINKING ABOUT?
.........."When a living entity is accustomed to think of a particular subject matter or become absorbed in a certain type of thought, he will think of that subject at the time of death. At the time of death, one will think of the subject that has occupied his life while he was awake, lightly sleeping or dreaming, or while he was deeply sleeping. After falling from the association of the Supreme Lord, the living entity thus transmigrates from one bodily form to another according to nature's course, until he finally attains the human form. If he is absorbed in material thoughts and ignorant of spiritual life, and if he does not"........in the Purport of Śrīmad Bhāgavatam 4.28.28

A Heart Touching Pastime Of Srila Prabhupada.
Sripada Hrdayananda Babaji Maharaja was born in Radha Kunda and has been a pujari for 78 years. He lives next to the Radha Damodara Temple. At the beginning of the interview, upon being asked if he knew Srila Prabhupada, Babaji Maharaja began to cry, "Never have I seen anyone do sadhana like he did. I have lived all my life in Vraja and I have never seen anyone like him. Prabhupada did many arduous things, he worked very hard there at the Radha Damodara Temple. At that time it was austere, undeveloped, and very muddy and dirty with no facilities.”
"Many years later, when I heard that it was actually he who had been chosen by Caitanya Mahaprabhu to spread the Hare Krishna Maha-Mantra around the world, I was not surprised.”
Prabhupada spread this Krishna consciousness by the mercy of Rupa Goswami. Prabhupada used to pray to Rupa Goswami, "You please give me your mercy." And then he got that mercy. I know t

Prabhupāda: Kṛṣṇa does not say that you have to become like this, like that, like that, then you can serve Him. Does not say. Just like this cow. Just see. What does it know? Is an animal. You see? But the calf knows to brush his head and tongue like this, in love. Just see. It is doing, and Kṛṣṇa accepting, "Yes." That is expert.
First of all find out what is easily done by you. Don't take anything which is not easily done by you. You find out what is your occupation, what you can very nicely and easily perform, and do it for Kṛṣṇa. That's all. Is that clear? Expert? This is expert. Expert does not mean that I do not know how to drive motorcar, and I will have to imitate somebody, "Oh, I shall become driver." Why?
If you do not know driving, why should you attempt driving? Whatever you know, you just try it, that business, and try to satisfy Kṛṣṇa. If you know driving, that's all right. But don't take... My Guru Mahārāja explained that you haven't got to learn anyt

Kṛṣṇa consciousness is dormant in everyone’s heart
(The following is a part of the interview with freelance reporter Sandy Nixon took place in July 1975, in Śrīla Prabhupāda’s quarters at the Kṛṣṇa center in Philadelphia.)
Ms. Nixon: My first question is very basic. What is Kṛṣṇa consciousness?
Śrīla Prabhupāda: Kṛṣṇa means God. We are all intimately connected with Him because He is our original father. But we have forgotten this connection. When we become interested in knowing, “What is my connection with God? What is the aim of life?” then we are called Kṛṣṇa conscious.
Ms. Nixon: How does Kṛṣṇa consciousness develop in the practitioner?
Śrīla Prabhupāda: Kṛṣṇa consciousness is already there in the core of everyone’s heart. But because of our materially conditioned life, we have forgotten it. The process of chanting the Hare Kṛṣṇa mahā-mantra—Hare Kṛṣṇa, Hare Kṛṣṇa, Kṛṣṇa Kṛṣṇa, Hare Hare/ Hare Rāma, Hare Rāma, Rāma Rāma, Hare Hare—revives
