Karma and bhakti yoga liberation. - Tamohara dasa, acbssp.

Posted by Tamohara dasa ADMIN. on May 7, 2026 at 14:48

What we experience in our temporary embodied lives is more-or-less preset. The body acts as a filter mechanism, a receiver that "plays" the script, the whole thing known as KARMA. This karmic realm is like a wound-up clock, or a machine made of matter. It is a projection or simulation of the eternal realms, but lesser, temporary and much suffering and mad adventure, projected by Mayadevi under the Lorrd's service direction, to entertain the desires of the jiva souls.

One who is shown this is liberated if they act upon the knowledge. A brahmana in ISKCON should be in a liberated status. The sincere devotee acting on behalf of their bonafide Sri Guru, ie Srila Prabhupada, as according to his directions, is not involved in mundane karmic things any longer. And so via yukta vairagya, ie bhakti yoga, one can accomplish all things in life, and yet walk above the karmic trap by these awakened devotional liberated yogamaya actions.

Prabhupada: ‘Even when I leave, I will keep continuing taking their suffering, and make them free so they can keep chanting Hare Krishna.’

It was the beginning of 1977. Prabhupada was in the Bombay temple. He was very sick. He had stopped all food intake – he was taking 1/4 a cup of orange juice per day. His body had only bones left – there was no flesh. And yet, he was insisting that he wanted to go to London. The doctors had given up responsibility. But as always, he was adamant.

At this time, one Pancaratrika Pandit from Bangalore named Sampat Kumar Bhattacarya came to know about Srila Prabhupada’s situation. So, he took a flight from Bangalore to Bombay – which in those days was a huge thing for a Brahmin priest – and met Prabhupada, and asked for a private meeting. Generally, nobody was allowed a private meeting, but when he said that he specially came by flight from Bangalore to meet Srila Prabhupada, he was allowed a private meeting. So, everybody was asked to go out, and they talked.

The conversation was like this: Sampat Kumar: ‘Swamiji, I am feeling very pained that you are suffering like this.’

Is it really? How do you know?

Rainer Haapala

Suchandra Dasi "DhiraBhakta Dasa

Yep

Checked the ships database that holds all records of registered ships.

So I'm wondering why were led to believe it was an older ship which in its later days renamed and then scrapped in 1963

Rather than the one laid down in 1959 and entered service in 1061?

Is it that it's more powerful if you see Srila Prabhupada on an old ship rather than a relatively modern ship for its time?

I'm just wondering"

Srila Prabhupada´s favorite photo, which ke kept on his altar for his private worship. The pose, yugala piriti, is the perfect expression of gaudiya vaisnava philosophy of Radha Krishna rasa.

He kept it as the main worshippable photo on the altar in his rooms at the LA temple. He said the pose was the perfect expression of Gaudiya Vaishnava philosophy of Radha Krishna rasa. But, he never put it in his books, probably because it could be misunderstood by the common man. It is so intimate that only the most elevated devotees can understand and appreciate it.

Dear Devotees of Lord Krishna worldwide,

Please accept my humble obeisances. All Glories to Srila Prabhupada!

Following is the stunning account by Bhagavat Maharaja, a senior disciple of Srila Prabhupada, of the poisoning conspiracy against Srila Prabhupada, carried out by His leading disciples who went on to receive fortune and fame in the aftermath of His Divine Grace's passing, on the pretext of being His "successors", despite there being no authorization or order from Srila Prabhupada for them to become Diksha gurus for ISKCON subsequent to His Departure. Bhagavat Maharaja dictated this statement to me, which I typed onto my laptop from 7 pm to

History of the unfoldment of recognition that Srila Prabhupada was poisoned

Posted by Tamohara dasa ADMIN. on April 8, 2026 at 4:47

A compilation farmed from HH Nanda Gopal Swami; Spoken by HH Bhagavata Maharajah in interviews.

"History of the unfoldment of recognition that Srila Prabhupada was poisoned began in Buffalo, New York. A devotee with a high-quality sound system picked up the whispers on a tape, and sent this tape to Houston and Dallas, Texas, to Abhinanda Das, who forwarded it to Puranjana das. Naveen Krishna das (Naveen Khurana) in Alachua (a former member of the GBC) received the tape as well. Things begin to stir: A Hindu devotee promoted the tape on his radio and website, and Naveen Krishna posted it on VNN (Vaishnava News Network).

remembered that Adi Kesava das brought Ayurvedic Makaradhvaja from Chandra Swami. (Srila Prabhupada requested medicine from a Ramanuji Murari Kaviraja. As it turns out, there was one in Calcutta, by the name of Damodar Prasad Shastri.) Adi Kesava went to Delhi and received medicine from Chandra Swami. This is why Naveen Krishna later brought in Bhagavat Maharaja

From 1977 t0 1980, I did most of the cooking in Bhubaneswara Iskcon ashrama. GG Maharajah said he liked my cooking best, so.
On Sundays, we had Nayapalli over for pracara and prasadam and kirtana. We hired a brahaman cook and his helpers. They cut veggies, boiled dahl, made rice
I would ususally go into town to fetch a litre of ghee and two boxes of premixed boxed spices; gram dahl spice and sambara, to be added to the finishing v large pot of dahlma, so that the offering would be extra special .
Sometimes I made some semolina halava and samosas for the Deities, for Sunday. I would bring a box of milk sweetsonce or twice a week, very small amounts of pera and sandesh, very sweet but good, Maybe milk ake or misthi dahi . We got milke delivered, Dikpati's assovisate from Nayapalli. GGS laugher at how the dairy me watered the milk down each day a little bit more, little bit more, until it was no longer milk and you had to complain about it. Then the cycle repeats itself.
Weekdays, it was t

Hare Krishna. All glories to Srila Prabhupada,. Please accept my humble obeisances.

Thank you for explaining about lineage. If they openly criticize, it makes sense to mention. Srila Prabhupada did that regarding His so-called god brothers as well. I would hope they are too busy with their own programs to take such trouble. Supposing some are actually pure Vaishnavas and not against His Divine Grace Srila Prabhupada and His Divine Grace Srila Gour Govinda Swami and do appreciate Srila Prabhupada's unchangedd books and the astonishing world-wide Harinama movement of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu despite being born into a family linage from the Lord?

How could they be expected to accept ISKCON in the condition it is in? ISKCON who eliminated Srila Prabhupada, espouses standard books corrupted by Kali, creates rubberstamped gurus, bans faithful Prabhupada followers, and condones unmentionable behaviors?

I found this online. I do not know the autho

"First of all, we have to see who is going to speak about Kṛṣṇa. Is it a devotee of Kṛṣṇa? Is he a Vaiṣṇava or not? If he is not, then immediately reject: "Oh, we are not going to hear from you." But people do not know. Any rascal speaking about Bhagavad-gītā we hear. That is not the process. Then you will misunderstand. Avaiṣṇava-mukhod..., sarpocchiṣṭaṁ payo yathā. Just like milk is very good food, everyone knows. But when it is touched by the tongue of the serpent, it is poison immediately."

tatastha origin theory - Tamohara dasa

Posted by Tamohara dasa ADMIN. on March 13, 2026 at 7:52

Lord Krsna says' "Never was there a time when I did not exist, nor you..."

न त्वेवाहं जातु नासं न त्वं मेने जनाधिपाः ।

न चैव न भविष्यामः सर्वे वयमतः परम् ॥

Transliteration:

na tvevāhaṁ jātu nāsāṁ na tvaṁ neme janādhipāḥ

na caiva na bhaviṣyāmaḥ sarve vayam ataḥ param

Translation:

"Never was there a time when I did not exist, nor you, nor all these kings; nor in the future shall any of us cease to be".

Some try to say jiva "originates" in some neutral tatastha state.

But Krsna says we always existed, and the self cannot be said to exist unless it is the self, ie complete, with all devotional moods and services inherent. Everything spiritual is complete like the Lord, but He is the maintainer and controller.

Those trying to tell you otherwise are unable to grasp eternity, they must have a beggining and an end, so they profess this tatashta origin idea, and insist on it, even though it logically contradicts Lord Krsna in Bhagavada Gita.

Srimad Bhagavatama tells how the jivas may ree
