Śrīman Viṣṇu, 
 
(1) You have asked about the glories of the month of Kārtika. In the month of Kārtika many pastimes of Kṛṣṇa took place:
 
        (a) On the very first day of Kārtika, that is, on [Śāradīya-]pūrṇma, mahā-rāsa took place in Vaṁśivaṭa in Vṛndāvana, and the supremacy of Śrīmatī Rādhikā was established. 

 
        (b) In this Kārtika month, Mother Yaśodā bound Kṛṣṇa to a grinding mortar with the rope of her love. Prior to this, in any of His other manifestations, no one was able to bind Kṛṣṇa. 
 
        (c) In this month, Kṛṣṇa lifted Govardhana and crushed the pride of Indra. 
 
        (d) In this month, on the day of rāsa, after Kṛṣṇa disappeared, the gopīs attained the highest state of prema in separation. 
 
        (e) Whe

"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

"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

Prediction of Srila Prabhupada in Bhavisya Purana.

Srila Prabhupada was chosen to spread Hare Krishna Mahamantra all over the world.

HG Jananivas Das prabhu : Another time, probably in 1973, Srila Prabhupada told me, “You can offer prayers in your own language if you like.” I used to chant the prayers in the morning. According to the shastra, you can only speak to the deity in Devanagari, the Sanskrit language.

In the Bhavisya Purana, bhavisya means in the future, it said that, “One saffron clad man will come from India and he will teach the Vedas in the language of the mlecchas.” [laughs] English is the language of the mlecchas. “And he will initiate with fire.”

Generally when a disciple receives the Gayatri mantra, it's a samskara which needs a fire sacrifice. Prabhupada used a fire sacrifice for the first initiation as well which is not mentioned in the Vedas.

It's for the Gayatri mantras. But for the Holy name Prabhupada used a fire sacrifice that is unique but is spoken of in the

Jan 12, 2021 — CANADA (SUN) — The Disappearance day of Sri Locana Dasa Thakura is observed on January 13th.

Lochan Das Thakur was born in 1523 in Kogram, in the Katwa block of Burdwan district. This village is about ten miles north of Guskara train station. The Thakur's home is situated near the Ajaya River.

His birth tithi is given by some as the first day of the fortnight of the waxing moon in Paush. He was born in the Rarha clan of the physician caste (vaidya). His father's name was Kamalakar Das, his mother's Sadanandi. Lochan Das studied at his maternal grandfather's house. He displayed devotion for Mahaprabhu from his childhood.

Lochan Das was married at a very early age, according to the customs of that époque. Since he had been married so young, his wife first remained with her parents in the village of Amedpur Kakuta. As he grew older, Lochan showed a highly renounced attitud

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.

Chaitanya as a teacher has taught man both by precepts and by his holy life. The

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. One is obliged to approach a free unbound or higher perfect source of information, such as Bhagavada Gita As It Is, in order to get right knowledge upon which to make right decisions. A bound man cannot readily untie another. If one
