Srila Prabhupada speaks - "If I have written one book, my words are my meaning.

Posted by Tamohara dasa ADMIN. on August 9, 2021 at 10:30
from Yasodanandan  Prabhu et al; 
Srila Prabhupada speaks - "If I have written one book, my words are my meaning.
Why you should give meaning? I shall kick on your face."
Prabhupāda: Majority or minority, it doesn't matter. But why you should take Bhagavad-gītā to establish your rascal theories? That means you are cheating.
Hare Krishna, here are a few quotes from Srila Prabhupada's instructions that clearly explain the following:
a.) What is speculation?
b.) How is the Gita misinterpreted?
c.) How should the Gita be preached?
d.) Mission of Caitanya Mahaprabhu
e.) Criticism of making compromise in philosophy for personal gain
f.) Offense of disobedience to the order of Guru
g.) Srila Prabhupada's explanation to why he presented the Bhagavad Gita "As It Is"
h.) Importance of reading the Gita "As It Is" with the guidance of a bona fide Guru
i.) Getting association with Krsna by reading Bhagavad Gita

Anyone, therefore, who becomes a Vaiṣṇava accepted by the first-class Vaiṣṇava, or uttama-adhikārī Vaiṣṇava, is already considered a brāhmaṇa, regardless of his birth or past deeds

Posted by Tamohara dasa ADMIN. on April 9, 2021 at 12:19
Prabhupāda states:
Śrīla Śukadeva Gosvāmī was a Vaiṣṇava from the beginning; therefore, there was no need for him to undergo all the processes of the varṇāśrama institution. Ultimately the aim of varṇāśrama-dharma is to turn a crude man into a pure devotee of the Lord, or a Vaiṣṇava. Anyone, therefore, who becomes a Vaiṣṇava accepted by the first-class Vaiṣṇava, or uttama-adhikārī Vaiṣṇava, is already considered a brāhmaṇa, regardless of his birth or past deeds. Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu accepted this principle and recognized Śrīla Haridāsa Ṭhākura as the ācārya of the holy name, although Ṭhākura Haridāsa appeared in a Mohammedan family.

These Bible and Koran, how did they get here? They were just inventions or what?

Posted by Tamohara dasa ADMIN. on November 8, 2020 at 5:18
9468807280?profile=originalPancadravida: ...that these Old and New Testament and Koran, they are the sastras of the (sic:) yauvanas. They are not the same as the Vedic sastras. They are not as... They are not bona fide like that.
Prabhupada: Yes.
Pancadravida: Does this mean they are not authentic or... How did they come here?
Prabhupada: Who?
Pancadravida: These Bible and Koran, how did they get here? They were just inventions or what?
Prabhupada: Convention means they are partially good for the time being, that's all. They are not eternally... Just like in the Bible it is said, "Thou shalt not kill." (chuckles) But this is not, does not come within the category of eternal religion. People were so corrupted that they were forbidden, "No, don't do this." "Thou shalt not covet," a little moral instruction. That also, they could not follow. There is no religion. And little God consciousness, "There is God, kingdom of God," little idea for the persons who could understand. Otherwise, do you think that if somebody s

So there are big, big demons. Hiraṇyakaśipu, he was required to be killed by the nails of the Lord. He appeared as a ferocious lion. But here, the teeny demons, there is no need of nails or any sword

"A horse is dead; what you will get by beating with whips? It is already dead. So there are big, big demons. Hiraṇyakaśipu, he was required to be killed by the nails of the Lord. He appeared as a ferocious lion. But here, the teeny demons, there is no need of nails or any sword. They are to be awakened simply by Kṛṣṇa consciousness, chanting Hare Kṛṣṇa."

Purport: The śāstras of the yavanas, or meat-eaters, are not eternal scriptures.

Posted by Tamohara dasa ADMIN. on August 1, 2019 at 13:31

CC Ādi 17.169

tumi ye kahile, paṇḍita, sei satya haya
ādhunika āmāra śāstra, vicāra-saha naya
Synonyms: 
tumi — You; ye — whatever; kahile — have said; paṇḍita — O Nimāi Paṇḍita; sei — that; satya — truth; haya — is certainly; ādhunika — of modern days; āmāra — our; śāstra — scripture; vicāra — logic; saha — with; naya — they are not.
Translation: 
“My dear Nimāi Paṇḍita, what You have said is all true. Our scriptures have developed only recently, and they are certainly not logical and philosophical.
Purport: 

The śāstras of the yavanas, or meat-eaters, are not eternal scriptures. They have been fashioned recently, and sometimes they contradict one another. The scriptures of the yavanas are three: the Old Testament, the New Testament and the Koran. Their compilation has a history; they are not eternal

PAST, PRESENT, FUTURE? Everything is happening in the "present" for Krishna, to Him there is no past or future.

Posted by Tamohara dasa ADMIN. on June 9, 2020 at 5:56

PAST, PRESENT, FUTURE?

Everything is happening in the "present" for Krishna, to Him there is no past or future. This maybe hard to understand for some.

Srila Prabhupada - "Kṛṣṇa is always there. So where is the past, present, future?

Five thousand years is a very long time, but for Kṛṣṇa five millions years, or trillions of years has no meaning, He has no past or future, for Him there is only the eternal present.

Kṛṣṇa has no past, present. Vedāhaṁ samatītāni [Bg. 7.26] = He knows past, present, EVERYTHING.

Here is it said -

bahūni me vyatītāni
janmāni tava cārjuna
tāny ahaṁ veda sarvāṇi
[Bg. 4.5]

How can Krsna be old? He also Krsna knows EVERYTHING!

Everything means the "eternal presents" for Kṛṣṇa. So there is no question of past, present and future." (8th February, 1974, Vrindavana)

Conclusion -

Past, Present and Future only exists in the material creation causing constant decay and impermanence .

Whereas in Vaikuntha and

Are Iskcon gurus even kanistha since the equivalent of Kanistha in Varnasrama is the perfect Brahmana? Are they or we perfect brahmanas to qualify as kanistha adhikary?

Posted by Tamohara dasa ADMIN. on July 23, 2019 at 16:40

Once again let us repeat the words of the Acharyas. Are Iskcon gurus even kanistha since the equivalent of Kanistha in Varnasrama is the perfect Brahmana? Are they or we perfect brahmanas to qualify as kanistha adhikary?

Rajen Babu: Isn’t the kanistha-adhikari qualified to give initiation into the mantra?

Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati: Where is the kanishtha-adhikari coming from? Who gave him the adhikara? A kanishtha-adhikari can never become a guru.

Rajen Babu: Can a madhyama-adhikari give diksa?

Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati: HE CAN ONLY PERFORM THE INITIAL DUTIES OF DIKSA. It is the uttama-adhikari maha-bhagavata Vaisnava who is actually the diksa-guru. There are two types of Vaisnavas – the ragatmika and the raganuga. Those who are from the eternal realm offer service to Sri Krsna directly. These ragatmikas serve Sri Varshabhanavi and Her direct expansions. Those who perform direct service to the ragatmikas and take shelter in them through

Sudip Nair said; almost the entire population of young devotees get preached to remain humble, not criticize and not expose anything with the fear of committing Vaisnava Apradha. The poisoners use this tactic to keep them under their control so that no one sees through their deception. And even 99.99% of them ....., have no guts to openly expose the poisoners with the fear of getting...... blocked"

Joshua Davis “It is the duty of the disciples to take charge of the mission of the spiritual master and execute it properly. Otherwise the disciple should decide to die along with the spiritual master. In other words, to execute the will of the spiritual master, the disciple should be prepared to lay down his life and abandon all personal considerations.”

NEVER in the history of all eternity did two persons believe or say exactly the same things

Posted by Tamohara dasa ADMIN. on June 22, 2017 at 15:43

Someone who thinks that all pure devotees say exactly the same things is a mayavadi. The definition of personalism is that everyone has their unique features, therefore, NEVER in the history of all eternity did two persons believe or say exactly the same things. These PADA, HKS false ritviks are mayavadis, they are like kanistha demons. SGGS was more Iskcon than even Iskcon, but they dont know that. They are impersonalists, contaminated persons, led by a ring in their noses by the CIA to create disturbance and divide and conquer.

So, in conclusion, we offer all our fullest sincerest obeisances to the many Pure Devotees, but we serve and follow our Srila Prabhupada only. Neither unchastity nor envy are wanted for a devotee.

Anyone who says that the other pure devotees are rascals is a kanistha and should be ignored. The false ritviks say that SGGS, SNM etc etc are not pure devotees because their opinion or preaching differs from SP. ?!? We the spiritnet ritivks say that no two devotees

That is called "so 'ham" or "brahmāsmi"

Posted by Tamohara dasa ADMIN. on June 21, 2017 at 14:51
Vaibhav Sharma shared Daily Nectar's post to the group: Vanipedia.
10 hrs ·

When you are expert in becoming the servant of the servant of the servant of the servant of the Lord—hundred times down, servant—then you are perfect.
But here everyone is trying to become the Supreme Lord.
Somebody is misusing the word "so 'ham," "ahaṁ brahmāsmi," and therefore "I am the Supreme." But that is not. These are Vedic words, but so 'ham does not mean "I am God."
"So 'ham" means "I am also the same quality." Because mamaivāṁśo jīva-bhūtaḥ (BG 15.7), jīva is the part and parcel of God, Kṛṣṇa, so the quality is the same. Just like you take a drop of water from the sea. So the chemical composition of the whole water of the sea and a drop of water—the same. That is called "so 'ham" or "brahmāsmi". Not that we misuse these words, Vedic version, and I think falsely that "I am God. I have become God."

Jaya of Eating, Sriman Mahesh JC, A.Bh.S.

Many arguments are made in this respect, that as long as we don't cut the animal we do not incur sin.

In the Mahabharata, there is a verse which states that one who sells the animal, one who buys the animal, one cuts the animal,one who cooks the animal, one who serves the animal and one who eats the animal, all are bound equally by the chain of Karma.

But leaving the spiritual aspect of it, anatomically, the human body is not structured to eat animal flesh. Studies have shown the length of the intestine of a tiger is 4 times the length of it's torso so when it eats flesh the toxins in the flesh are not kept for long in the intestine and are expelled at the earliest. Also the concentration of acid secreted in the stomach is so strong that it burns the bacteria in the flesh. While in the cow, the length of the intestine is 12 times it's torso and so the food takes longer time to be expelled from the body. We have seen that the incidence of the Mad Cow disease (bovine spongi

The Lord is to be Worshipped by one's own consciousness, not by material substances

Posted by Tamohara dasa ADMIN. on August 22, 2015 at 8:08

9468793696?profile=originalThe Lord is to be Worshipped by one's own consciousness, not by material substances - by waving lamps, lighting incense, offering flowers or even food or sandal paste. HE is attained without the least effort: HE is worshipped by Self-Realisation alone. This is the Supreme Meditation, this is the Supreme Worship: the continuous and unbroken awareness of the indwelling presence, Inner light or Consciousness. While doing what ever one is doing - seeing, hearing, touching, smelling, eating, moving, sleeping, breathing or talking - one should realise one's Essential Nature as Pure Consciousness. Thus does One attain Liberation.

The Meaning of Perfect, by His Divine Grace

Posted by Tamohara dasa ADMIN. on August 10, 2015 at 9:00

Courtesy Ines Naradic, ie Naradakunda devi dasi; Meaning of Perfect

Prabhupada: Yes. Acarya is explained, bhakti-samsanah: “One who’s preaching the cult of devotional service, he’s acarya.” Then why should you find any discrepancy?
Jayadvaita: Because we see … For instance, sometimes the acarya may seem to forget something or not to know something, so from our point of view, if someone has forgotten, that is an imperfection.
Prabhupada: Then you do not understand. Acarya is not God, omniscient. He is servant of God. His business is to preach bhakti cult. That is acarya.
Jayadvaita: And that is the perfection.
Prabhupada: That is the perfection. Hare Krsna.
Jayadvaita: So we have a misunderstanding about what perfection is?
Prabhupada: Yes. Perfection is here, how he is preaching bhakti cult. That’s all.
Satsvarupa: Prabhupada, in one purport in the Bhagavad-gita, you write that a disciple of a bona fide spiritual master is supposed to know everything.
