Vrindavan story: Lord Siva become gopi – Gopisvara Mahadeva!

Once while in deep meditation on Mount Kailash, Lord Siva heard the sweet vibration of Krsna playing His divine flute. Mesmerized, He entered samadhi.

He followed that transcendental sound until He came to Vrindavan, where Lord Gopinath was getting ready to start the Maha Raas – Lila with His gopis.

Desiring intensely to join the maha-rasa, when He came to the entrance of the rasa-sthali, He was stopped by Yogamaya, who told him, “No males except Krsna are allowed entry. First you must have gopi-rupa, the form of a Vraja milkmaid, a gopi, only then can you enter.”

Lord Bholanath asked “How can I get gopi-rupa?” Yogamaya replied, “Seek the shelter of Vrinda Devi. She will grant you the form of a gopi.”

Vrinda devi asked Lord Siva to take a dip in the waters of Manasarovara in Vrindavana. After bathing there, Lord Siva emerged from the lake with the form of a beautiful gopi.

Vrinda devi then took Lord Siva in her gopi form to

Prabhupada: We Vaiṣṇavas do not say that there is no need of fighting. We never say.

Prabhupada: We Vaiṣṇavas do not say that there is no need of fighting. We never say. When there is need of fighting we must fight. Rather, somebody in New York, some Goldsmith, he was that, 'Why Krishna is advising Arjuna to fight, to become violent?'
So somebody protests like that. But there is no meaning of protesting against the action of the Supreme Personality of Godhead. That is our view. So we Vaiṣṇavas, we are chanting.
It does not mean that when there is need of fighting with avaiṣṇava (non-vaishnava) we shall lack in strength. We can fight. One gentleman inquired from me that 'Vaiṣṇavism makes one dull. He cannot act.' And, 'No. You have not seen a Vaiṣṇava.' In the two fightings, great fighting, the Rāmāyaṇa and Mahābhārata, the hero was Hanuman and Arjuna, and they fought.
Guest: They fought.
Prabhupada: Yes. And who can be better Vaiṣṇava than them?
Guest: Nobody.
Prabhupada: So Vaiṣṇava does not mean he is dull. No.
Guest: No, that is well proved. If there is need...

it is these very times when our true riches become manifest

Those of us who are priests and brahmanas, and have taken vows of poverty; it is these very times when our true riches become manifest. The temporary earthly things do not hold a candle to the inner light and the joys of spiritual life, made accessible by renouncing excess material consumption. We lived to grow, and now relish the ripened fruits of our cultivations. Picking those fruits, we can freely distribute them to others, as much as they wish to take, as there is no limit or shortage.

Confession of Tamal Krsna Maharaj to Vrndavan Dasa concerning the ritvik system of initiation.

I Vrndavana Das joined the movement in the year 1978 in Singapore after reading Srila Prabhupada’s Bhagavad Gita and his very inspiring Back To Godhead Magazine. I was so overwhelmed and convinced i decided in giving myself to serving Srila Prabhupada. In the year 1979 I was initiated by Hansdutta Swami through the Zonal Guru System of initiation that was instituted by the GBC.

In my heart I was always wanting to serve Srila Prabhupada but I was told that Srila Prabhupada had now authorised some of his senior men to become his successor Gurus. Since this was the understanding back then I accepted it as an oder of Srila Prabhupada. Shortly after my initiation I learned that Hansadutta had fallen down, it came as a shock to me has there is no mention of guru falling down in any of Srila Prabhupada’s books. I was t

"You become a nonviolent." No. Never says that. When there is a question of fighting for the right cause, you must fight. There is no question of becoming nonviolent. You see?"

"So here is the thing, you see, that Krsna does not say that "You become a nonviolent." No. Never says that. When there is a question of fighting for the right cause, you must fight. There is no question of becoming nonviolent. You see?"

"We have to kill this civilization of mūḍhas. That is Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement. Paritrāṇāya sādhūnāṁ vināśāya ca duṣkṛtām [Bg. 4.8]. Those who are actually human being, you have to give them Kṛṣṇa. And those who are mūḍhas, we have to kill them. This is our business. Kill all the mūḍhas and give Kṛṣṇa to the sane man. Yes. That will prove that you are really Kṛṣṇa's. We are not nonviolent. We are violent to the mūḍhas" Morning Walk. Jan. 21, 1976. Māyāpur.

Who is more important ? Jesus, or the rabbis that run the Jewish organizations after he was crucified? They rejected Jesus, made the Rabbis the center, and so they remain. Now that Srila Prabhupada has been proven poisoned and martyred, WHO is given more importance in ITSACON CO.? Srila Prabhupada, or the JEWS/GBC?

IsKcon has largely become a JEWISH SYNAGOGUE.

Some of the dharmadvdjis become gurus and others become disciples, and by trickery, they accumulate wealth, women, false prestige, and material assets.

Posted by Tamohara dasa ADMIN. on November 23, 2017 at 17:06

"There is no worse association in the whole world than that of a dharmadvdji. One should rather associate with sense enjoyers. Being deceitful, the dharmadvdjis take on the appearance of devotees with a desire to cheat everyone, and to fulfill their crooked desires, they cheat the foolish by helping them in their rascaldom. Some of the dharmadvdjis become gurus and others become disciples, and by trickery, they accumulate wealth, women, false prestige, and material assets. If one gives up the association of crooked hypocrites, one can honestly engage in devotional service."

if you chant Hare Kṛṣṇa, you become benefited.

"So the Hare Kṛṣṇa movement is so strong, and indirectly, directly, or some way or other, if you chant Hare Kṛṣṇa, you become benefited. It is so. So if you neglectfully chant Hare Kṛṣṇa you become so benefited, then how much you will be benefited if you carefully chant Hare Kṛṣṇa. That should be the ideal."
