"Living entities seperated from Krsna/God, either by too much genetic change to His design, or too much ego-desire to play at being God, both cannot enter normalcy or God's Kingdom. Tortured in deviated genetically altered mundane material bodies, the rebels suffer, just as souls who refuse God's Kingdom due to childish selfishness or sense of wild adventure, and fall to Earth or other mundane worlds, suffer spiritual loss, a loss of true nature and eternal blissful life.
Ever after, the seperatists simply try to recover from their losses, but it is not possible, because we are by nature eternal servitors of Krsna,and when we lose that precious nature, we suffer. Both an excessively altered body and selfishly altered ego, are in a rejected status, seperated from God. Those in such statuses often feel resentment towards the pure, even wage war aga

What Śrīman Mahāprabhu Gave Is the Highest Benefaction 
 
by Śrīla Bhaktisiddhānta Sarasvatī Ṭhākura Prabhupāda

(Translated into English for the first time)
 

Question 1: How will we attain service to Śrī Bhagavān?
 
Answer: The day we realize that śrī gurudeva – who is sevā-vigraha, the embodiment of service – is non-different from Śrī Caitanyadeva, we will obtain service to Śrī Gaurasundara. On that day we will obtain the fortune of performing confidential service to Śrī Śrī Rādhā-Govinda. Only when we realize that the mahānta-gurudeva, or foremost of Vaiṣṇavas performing the function of guru, is a direct personal associate of Śrī Kṛṣṇa Caitanyadeva, will the transcendental pastimes of Śrī Śrī Rādhā-Govinda manifest in our pure and spotless hearts.
 
 
Question 2: How will we understand the subject matter of Vaiṣṇava philosophy?
 
Answer: A person may be a great scholar or a great thinker, but until he accepts the shelter of an ācārya, whose character is the very emb

Śrī Rādhā-tattva and Śrī Rādhā's Appearance 

Excerpts from the writings of
Śrī Śrīmad Bhaktivedānta Vāmana Gosvāmī Mahārāja

Presented in English for the first time

The upāsaka-sampradāyas (devotional traditions) of India, especially the Vaiṣṇava sampradāyas, are particularly eager to know about śrī rādhā-tattva. It is natural that every sādhaka is eager to know about Śrī Rādhikā, because without serving Her, attaining the service of Śrī Kṛṣṇa is a distant prospect. However, the truth of who She is can only be preserved if She is revealed or described as She is. Otherwise, all we perceive are deceptions that assert truth to be false or falsehood to be truth. 
 
Living entities who are situated on the material platform and bound by māyā are incapable of describing the nature (svarūpa) of Śrī Bhagavān and His spiritual potency, who are supramundane and embody eternal existence, pure awareness and bliss. Only the Vedas, which are Bhagavān’s incarnati

"SB 2.6.43-45: I myself [Brahma], Lord Siva, Lord Vishnu, great generators of living beings like Daksha and Prajapati, yourselves [Narada and the Kumaras], heavenly demigods like Indra and Candra, the leaders of the Bhurloka planets, the leaders of the earthly planets, the leaders of the lower planets, the leaders of the Gandharva planets, the leaders of the Vidyadhara planets, the leaders of the Caranaloka planets, the leaders of the Yakshas, Rakshas and Uragas, the great sages, the great demons, the great atheists and the great spacemen, as well as the dead bodies, evil spirits, satans, jinn, kushmandas, great aquatics, great beasts and great birds, etc. -- in other words, anything and everything which is exceptionally possessed of power, opulence, mental and perceptual dexterity, strength, forgiveness, beauty, modesty, opulence, and breeding, whether in form or formless -- may appear to be the specific truth and the form of the Lord, but actually they are not so.

Prabhupada : When the brahmana asked the woman who the man lying on the floor was, she answered that he was her spiritual master and that she was perplexed about who to do in his absence. At such a time the Supersoul immediately appears, provided the devotee is purified in heart by following the direction of the spiritual master. A sincere devotee who follows the instructions of the spiritual master certainly gets direct instructions from him from Supersoul. This is confirmed in Caitanya-caritamrta : guru-krsna- prasade paya bhakti-lata-bija. If the devotee serves his spiritual master sincerely, Krsna automatically becomes pleased. Yasya Prasadad bhagavad - prasadah. By satisfying the spiritual master, one automatically satisfies Krsna. Thus the devotee becomes enriched by both the spiritual master and Krsna. The Supersoul is eternally the friend of the living-entity and always remains with him. The Supersoul has been ready to help the living-entity, even before the creation of this ma

TRANSLATION
O my Lord, proprietor of all creation, You have now appeared in my house, desiring to protect this world. I am sure that You will kill all the armies that are moving all over the world under the leadership of politicians who are dressed as kṣatriya rulers but who are factually demons. They must be killed by You for the protection of the innocent public.
PURPORT
Kṛṣṇa appears in this world for two purposes, paritrāṇāya sādhūnāṁ vināśāya ca duṣkṛtām: to protect the innocent, religious devotees of the Lord and to annihilate all the uneducated, uncultured asuras, who unnecessarily bark like dogs and fight among themselves for political power. It is said, kali-kāle nāma-rūpe kṛṣṇa avatāra. The Hare Kṛṣṇa movement is also an incarnation of Kṛṣṇa in the form of the holy name (nāma-rūpe). Every one of us who is actually afraid of the asuric rulers and politicians must welcome this incarnation of Kṛṣṇa: Hare Kṛṣṇa, Hare Kṛṣṇa, Kṛṣṇa Kṛṣṇa, Hare Hare/ Hare Rāma, Hare Rāma, Rāma R

 [SB 1.2.7]

"If somebody engages himself in the devotional service of Vasudeva, then very quickly this detachment develops. And knowledge." Knowledge also. Without knowledge, there cannot be detachment. Without knowledge, one cannot be detached. And what is that knowledge? The knowledge is that "I am not this matter; I am spirit soul." So... But this knowledge is... Although it is very easy thing to say, that "I am not this body, but I am spirit soul," but actually to have perfect knowledge, that is a great job. It is not very easy. For getting that supreme knowledge so many, I mean to say, transcendentalists, they were trying life after life, just to get detached. But the easiest process is that if one is engaged in the devotional service. That is the

Bhavananda Das and the Poison Issue (by Nityananda das)

CHAPTER 74: 

BHAVANANDA DAS


INTRODUCTION


Bhavananda das developed the Mayapur project in cooperation with Jayapataka Swami from the very early 1970’s. He accomplished great strides forward in establishing the Hare Krishna movement in West Bengal, and was both a GBC member and a sannyasi. However, there is evidence that he was involved in poisoning Srila Prabhupada along with others such as Tamal in 1977. 


With the demise of Tamal, Bhavananda remains as a living and prime suspect in the poisoning of Srila Prabhupada. In this chapter we will combine material related to his being a poison suspect with material which shows him to be an unqualified leader, so not to have two separate chapters.


BHAVANANDA WAS BEST FRIENDS WITH TAMAL


In 1981 Tamal told his disciples in a lecture that Bhavananda was his favorite of all the ISKCON gurus.  Bhavananda and Tamal "best friends" would often spend time together in Vrindaban, Mayapur, Australia, and

If you give him milk, he'll drink it and increase his poison. That's it. The result will be he will increase his poison. Better to keep them starvation. Therefore everyone, as soon as one sees the serpent, immediately kills. No consideration. "Here is a serpent. Kill him." Similarly, immediately we see the scientists, kill. [laughter] That is the only proccess, so-called scientists. So do you agree, Harikeśa, for kicking on the face of these rascals or not?

Prabhupāda: Quality is different. Athāsaktiḥ. āśakti, attachment. Just like Rūpa Gosvāmī says that "How shall I chant with one tongue? And how shall I hear, two ears? Had it been millions of tongues and trillions of ears, then I could enjoy it." This is quality. Quality is not so cheap. Maybe after many births. For the time being you go on following the rules and regulations. It is being done by force. Where is the quality? So you wanted to understand quality. This is the quality. You'll not be forced, but automatically you'll desire. That is quality.

BUT THE DEMONIC PRINCIPLE IS SO STRONG....
9468809265?profile=original
Prabhupada: …two classes of men: the communist and the non-communist. Not exactly communist and capitalist, but communist and non-communist. Out of these two, the communists are going to be powerful. This is the world tendency. So if the world becomes full of communists, then the human civilization will be finished. All rogues and rascals, that’s all. The American government wants to check this tendency. But they cannot check it if they remain “so-called trust in God.” That will not be possible.
So according to our proposition… Not only now, it is forever. Two classes of men are there: sura and asura. Surāsura. Viṣṇu-bhakto bhaved devaḥ. Deva and sura, the same thing. Asuras tad viparyayaḥ. And the asura, or the demons, godless. So if the Americans remain godless in the name of so-called trust in God, they will not be able to check this communistic movement. They will not be able. Now, if they are serious to check this communistic movement,

Srimad-Gaurangalila-Smaranamangal Stotram,
Part Eight

Jan 16, 2021 — CANADA (SUN) — Srila Bhaktivinoda Thakur's English introduction to "Srimad-Gaurangalila-Smaranamangal Stotram", the last of eight parts.

The religion preached by Mahaprabhu is universal and not exclusive. The most learned and the most ignorant are both entitled to embrace it. The learned people will accept it with a knowledge of sambandha-tatwa as explained in the categories. The ignorant have the same privilege, by simply uttering the name of the Deity and mixing in the company of pure Vaishnavs. The principle of kirtan invites, as the future church of the world, all classes of men without distinction of caste or clan to the highest cultivation of the spirit. This church it appears, will extend all over the world and take the place of all sectarian churches, which exclude outsiders from the precincts of the mosque, church or the temple.

"Similarly this Krishna Consciousness Movement is a treatment for reviving the memory that we all belong to Krishna's family. So we are trying to establish a replica of Krishna's family in this material world wherein there is no material activities. To avoid the material activities means to follow the four regulative principles and to engage ourselves constantly in Krishna Consciousness activities and to have the association of pure devotees. We should not give indulgence to our senses more than what is required just to keep body and soul together. We should not engage ourselves in very difficult tasks, and we should not talk anything more than what is necessary for spreading Krishna Consciousness. We should follow the regulative principles, regard being had to situation, circumstances and objectives. We should not be greedy and we should not mix with persons not interested in Krishna. In this way, we can make steady progress and maintain our membership in Krishna's family. Thus, at th

What is the Most Severe Nāma-aparādha? 
by Śrīla Bhaktisiddhānta Sarasvatī Ṭhākura Prabhupāda
 

Question 1
How can one attain perfection within a single lifetime?

Answer: If one gives up one’s free will and fully surrenders to śrī gurudeva, and then performs bhajana without duplicity under his guidance, one will attain perfection within a single lifetime.


Question 2
By what means can one know Śrī Bhagavān?

Answer: One will have to hear with faith the kathā of Bhagavān coming from the lotus lips of śrī gurudeva. There is no way to know Śrī Bhagavān other than by whole-heartedly surrendering unto the lotus feet of śrī gurudeva. Onl

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.

The spirit soul has free will, being made in the image of Govinda in a percentage of qualities. At some point, expressing our unlimited potentials, some of us wish to play games, to exercise our free will, like teenagers moving out of the house, or like skaters emboldened to skate even on what appears thin ice, or hearty souls adventuring into the forest in a new territory...
and so may temporarily venture away from the realm of Vaikuntha or Goloka.
It is not all negative! It is not necessarily "envious". It is a positive expression of Krsna's love, such that He allows us our freedom to choose, even if sometimes we choose something bold or temporary. It's a POSITIVE CHOICE, not a "fall down", nor some envious horror story, that leads to the jiva's adventures in independence and material temporary existence. The consequences may be horrid, however, when we misuse this independence. Actually, we are not independent, it is an illusion for our own sake.
So we may

Neither the hosts of demigods nor the great sages know My origin, for, in every respect, I am the source of the demigods and the sages.
PURPORT
As stated in the Brahma-samhita, Lord Krsna is the Supreme Lord. No one is greater than Him; He is the cause of all causes. Here it is also stated by the Lord personally that He is the cause of all the demigods and sages. Even the demigods and great sages cannot understand Krsna; they can understand neither His name nor His personality, so what is the position of the so-called scholars of this tiny planet? No one can understand why this Supreme God comes to earth as an ordinary human being and executes such commonplace and yet wonderful activities. One should know, then, that scholarship is not the qualification necessary to understand Krsna. Even the demig

The Supreme Personality of Godhead and cause of all causes, and origin of all Narayana and Vishnu forms, appears in innumerable forms to enjoy transcendental relationships.
Some of His expansions are tiny, dependent beings, like us who are jiva-tattva, with 78.125% of Krishna's 64 qualities with 50 of His qualities.
And some expansions are complete and omnipotent beings like Krishna Himself who are Vishnu-tattva with 93.75% of Krishna's 64 qualities with 60 qualities.
Srila Prabhupada - ''Balarama is the plenary manifestation of the Supreme Personality of Godhead, and therefore He is as good and powerful as Lord Krishna. He belongs to the vishnu-tattva - the principle of Godhead. (Srimad-Bhagavatam, 1.11.16-17, Purport)

Advaita Discussion Group; If jivas in maya ie the expanded energies of the perfect origin, have a tendency to Name and Form, then the originating source must also. sarva karana karanam; I am the original cause, says Govinda. Govinda has a Form and talks, He is not an empty room. Why build a room even, if it is to be empty in its perfect state? Negation of the purposes of said room is a type of voidism and madness unnatural to spiritual Self, which is full of sat chit ananda, having blissful form and activities of perfection. Annihilating perception may stop material involvements, but there is no positive involvement on the eternal plane of blissful activity and exchange.

For conditioned souls to discuss maya is like people in handcuffs discussing freedom.
