Our Buiness Is, Even Within These Calamities, How To Develop Our Krsna Consciousness

Posted by Gavin Swinden on April 17, 2023 at 0:14

(So our business is, even within these calamities, dangers, how we develop our Kṛṣṇa consciousness and, after giving up this body, we go back to home, back go Kṛṣṇa)

Prabhupada" This is all . . . the material world is full of dangers. Padaṁ padaṁ yad vipadām (SB 10.14.58). Just like if you are on the ocean. If you are on the ocean, you might have very strong ship, very safe ship, but that is not safety. Because you are on the sea, at any time there can be dangers. Perhaps you remember from your country, there was, what is that, Titanic?"

Devotee: "Titanic."

Prabhupāda: "Everything was safe, but on the first voyage it was drowned, and all important men of your country, they lost their life. So danger there must be, because you are in a dangerous position. This material world itself is dangerous position. So our business is . . . that danger must be there.

Now our business should be how to cross over the sea as soon as possible. So long you are on the sea, you are on th

(Kṛṣṇa's name is Naṭavara. Naṭavara. Naṭavara means the greatest dramatic dancer)

"Kṛṣṇa's name is Naṭavara. Naṭavara. Naṭavara means the greatest dramatic dancer. And another His name is naṭo nāṭyadharo yathā (SB 1.8.19). He is dancing in such a nice way that He is attracting everyone."

This Is Krsna Consciousness, To Appreciate The Greatest Artist

Posted by Gavin Swinden on April 16, 2023 at 0:34

(This is Kṛṣṇa consciousness, to appreciate the greatest artist. We are all artist, but when we appreciate the greatest artist, Kṛṣṇa, then our life is successful)

"We are engaged in smaller thing. We become amazed when we see a small Sputnik is flying in the sky, and it is trying to go to the moon planet, and we are giving all credit to the scientist, and scientist is challenging, "What is God? Science is everything." But if you are cool brain, then you will see that now, in comparison to the Sputnik, there are millions and trillions of planets and stars, big, big planets like sun planet, which is fourteen hundred thousand times bigger than this earth.

Apart from sun planet, if we take this teeny planet, earthly planet, on which we are living, there are so many oceans, so many mountains, skyscraper building. But if you go above this planet a few thousand miles, oh, you will see just like a spot, this big planet. You will see just like a spot. Not only spot, this one planet,

Unlimited. Everything is unlimited. Kṛṣṇa's creation

Posted by Tamohara dasa ADMIN. on April 15, 2023 at 17:54

"Unlimited. Everything is unlimited. Kṛṣṇa's creation . . . we are very much concerned with one planet, this, but Kṛṣṇa's creation is unlimited number of planets. As you see unlimited number of hairs on your head, you cannot count. Can you count how many hairs are there?
This is Kṛṣṇa's creation. You cannot count. So what to speak of this hair—anything you take. You take one tree: unlimited number of foliages. You cannot count. Similarly, unlimited number of planets, unlimited number of universes—everything unlimited. Therefore He is unlimited."

Simply Be Becoming Krsna Conscious, Lover Of Krsna, They Are Becoming Qualified

Posted by Gavin Swinden on April 14, 2023 at 23:04

(Simply by becoming Kṛṣṇa conscious, lover of Kṛṣṇa, they are becoming qualified)

"If you simply turn these people to Kṛṣṇa consciousness, all good qualities will come automatically. All good qualities. That is wanted. And we are practically seeing that. Simply by becoming Kṛṣṇa conscious, lover of Kṛṣṇa, they are

becoming qualified."

Spiritual Energy Is Prominent Everywhere, In The Material World And The Spiritual World

Posted by Gavin Swinden on April 14, 2023 at 23:02

(Spiritual energy is prominent everywhere, in this material world and the spiritual world)

"The material, physical elements, they are inferior quality of . . . inferior quality, energy, of Kṛṣṇa. But the superior quality of energy we are, living entities. Jīva-bhūtāṁ mahā-bāho yayedaṁ dhāryate jagat (BG 7.5).

Therefore here in this material world there are two energies working. In the spiritual world there is only spiritual energy working. But in the material world, two energies are working: material and spiritual. Material energy is dependent

on spiritual energy.Spiritual energy is prominent everywhere, in this material world and the spiritual world. Here also, the matter is developing upon spirit, not that spirit is manifesting under certain conditional stage of matter."

Krsna Likes The Lotus Flower Very Much, So If We See Lotus Flower, We Can Remember Krsna

Posted by Gavin Swinden on April 13, 2023 at 23:29

(So Kṛṣṇa likes paṅkaja very much, lotus flower. So if we see lotus flower, we can remember . . . immediately remember Kṛṣṇa)

"So Kṛṣṇa's all parts of the body reference to the paṅkaja. Paṅkaja means lotus flower. Paṅka means mud, and ja means generate. Paṅkaja, the lotus flower, is so important. Still, it is generated from mud. So Kṛṣṇa likes paṅkaja very much, lotus flower.

So if we see lotus flower, we can remember . . . immediately remember Kṛṣṇa. If . . . just like if you love your child, if you see any garment, a small ship . . . shoes or any play things, immediately you remember your child: "Oh, this is my child's shoes.

This is my child's playing things. This is my garment." So it is the question of love. If you actually love God, Kṛṣṇa, then you can remember Him at any time, always, always. There is no difficulty."

One Who Has Taken Bath In The Ocean Of Transcendental Sound, Is The Bona Fide Spiritual Master

Posted by Gavin Swinden on April 13, 2023 at 4:53

(so one has to take bath in the ocean of this transcendental sound, then he is bona fide spiritual master)

"Śābde pare ca niṣṇātam (SB 11.3.21): one who has actually taken full bath in the ocean of transcendental knowledge. Śābde pare ca niṣṇātam. Śābde means the transcendental sound. The Vedic words, hymns, are called transcendental sound, and the gist of all such sound is oṁ, or Hare Kṛṣṇa, Hare Kṛṣṇa, Kṛṣṇa Kṛṣṇa, Hare Hare/ Hare Rāma, Hare Rāma . . .

so one has to take bath in the ocean of this transcendental sound, then he is bona fide spiritual master. Śābde pare ca niṣṇātam. And what is the symptom? Everyone can say that, "I have taken full bath in this transcendental sound," but the symptom is there. What is that symptom?

Śābde pare ca niṣṇātaṁ brahmaṇy upaśamāśrayam: he has taken shelter of the Supreme Brahman, finishing all material activities. He has no more any material activities. He is simply after the Supreme Brahman, or Kṛṣṇa. This is the qualification."

Krsna Is Very Much Anxious To Take You Back Home To Godhead

Posted by Gavin Swinden on April 12, 2023 at 21:38

(Kṛṣṇa is very much anxious to take you back home, back to Godhead. But we are stubborn. We do not wish. So He's always finding out the opportunity how you can be taken back home, back to Godhead)

"Kṛṣṇa is very much anxious to take you back home, back to Godhead. But we are stubborn. We do not wish. So He's always finding out the opportunity how you can be taken back home, back to Godhead. Just like affectionate father. Rascal son left his father, loitering in the street and have no shelter, no food, suffering so much.

The father is more anxious to take the boy home. Similarly, Kṛṣṇa is the supreme father. All these living entities within this material world, they're exactly like the misled child of a big, rich man, loitering in the street. Therefore the greatest benefit to the human society is to give him Kṛṣṇa consciousness. Greatest . . . any kind of material profit will not satisfy the living entity."

The Only Price To Purchase Krsna Is To Be Mad After Him, Where Is Krsna?

Posted by Gavin Swinden on April 11, 2023 at 23:19

(Because that is the price only to purchase Kṛṣṇa: to be mad after Him—"Where is Kṛṣṇa?")

"These boys are certified in their own country by the Christian priests that, "These boys are our boys. They will never coming into church, they are never interested about God, and now they are mad after God. What is this?" Because that is the price only to purchase Kṛṣṇa: to be mad after Him—"Where is Kṛṣṇa?"

He rādhe vraja-devike ca lalite he nanda-sūno kutaḥ. "Where You are? Where You are?" Śrī-govardhana pādapa-tale kālindī-vane kutaḥ. "Are You under the valley of Govardhana Hill or on the bank of the Yamunā? Where You are?" Ghoṣantāv iti sarvato vraja-pure.

That was their Kṛṣṇa consciousness, simply wondering "Where is Kṛṣṇa? Where is Kṛṣṇa? Where is Kṛṣṇa?" Ghoṣantāv iti sarvato pure khedair mahā-vihvalau. Madlike, vihvalau. Vande rūpa-sanātanau raghu-yugau śrī-jīva-go . . . this is, this price wanted, then you can get Kṛṣṇa, you can understand Kṛṣṇa."

Why Do You Take Advantage Of My Book And Misinterpret? This Is Cheating

Posted by Gavin Swinden on April 11, 2023 at 23:03

(Why do you take advantage of my book and misinterpret? This is cheating. Because my book is very popular, you take advantage of my book and preach your own nonsense philosophy. This is going on)

"Everyone is taking advantage of Bhagavad-gītā and he's preaching in his own way, foolish way. "Own way" means foolish way. This is going on. You cannot . . . suppose you have got your philosophy, but you cannot take my book and preach your philosophy. If you have got philosophy, you write your philosophy. Why do you take advantage of my book and misinterpret? This is cheating. Because my book is very popular, you take advantage of my book and preach your own nonsense philosophy. This is going on."

We Want One Moon To Drive Away The Darkness

Posted by Gavin Swinden on April 11, 2023 at 20:39

(One moon is complete to drive away the darkness of night. Not millions of stars required. What these millions of stars can do? One moon is sufficient. So our propaganda is to create one moon. You see? But fortunately, by Kṛṣṇa's grace, many moonlike boys and girls have come to me. You see? Many moons. (chuckles))

"We want one sincere person who has learned to love God, Kṛṣṇa. That's all.mI have come to your country with this mission, and if I find one or two boys or girls sincerely have learned how to love God, Kṛṣṇa, then my mission is successful. I'm not after any number of . . .

because if I can turn one soul to this Kṛṣṇa consciousness, he'll do tremendous work, because he'll be fire. You see? He can do tremendous work. Ekaś candras tamo hanti na ca taraḥ sahasrasaḥ (Cāṇakya Paṇḍita). One moon is complete to drive away the darkness of night.

Not millions of stars required. What these millions of stars can do? One moon is sufficient. So our propaganda is to create one

This Is Krsna Consciousness, She Is Always Anxious To Give Protection To Krsna

Posted by Gavin Swinden on April 10, 2023 at 0:25

(Because this is Kṛṣṇa consciousness. She is always anxious to give protection to Kṛṣṇa. The best service. Kṛṣṇa does not require anyone's service. He is complete, pūrṇam. But for pleasing His devotee, He becomes dependent)

"You give everything to God. That is God consciousness. Just like the conception of accepting God as child. That is better conception than to accept God as father, because from father we simply take away: "Father, give me this, give me that, give me that, give me that."

And if you accept God as child, then you have to give everything. This is Gauḍīya-Vaiṣṇava conception. Yaśodāmāyi, she has accepted . . . she's is worshiping God as child, so that she is always engaged that Kṛṣṇa may not be in any inconvenience about His body, about His comfort.

Always Mother Yaśodā is anxious that, "Kṛṣṇa is now very naughty. He may not capture some monkey, He may not fall down on the water, He may not be burnt in the fire." Always anxious. Because this is Kṛṣṇa consci

We Should Always Desire Krsna, Then The Krsna Approaching Body will Be Formed

(Therefore we should always desire Kṛṣṇa. Then from this life, the Kṛṣṇa-approaching body, or the spiritual body, will be formed)

"As soon as I am desiring something, immediately my body is formed. Immediately a particular type of body begins to form, and as soon as I am mature to change, my next body I get according to my desire. Therefore we should always desire Kṛṣṇa. Then from this life, the Kṛṣṇa-approaching body, or the spiritual body, will be formed."

If You Live In Krsna, Always Loving , Just Like The Gopis

Posted by Gavin Swinden on April 9, 2023 at 1:24

(If you live in Kṛṣṇa, always loving . . . just like the gopīs. The gopīs, they learned how to love Kṛṣṇa. That's all)

"But the bhakta, somehow or other he can, if he simply learns how to love Kṛṣṇa, then he hasn't got to undergo severe austerities and penance. Immediately he is released. Because that is the perfectional stage. If you live in Kṛṣṇa, always loving . . . just like the gopīs.

The gopīs, they learned how to love Kṛṣṇa. That's all. They never underwent any severe austerities like the great saintly persons going to Himalaya and pressing their nose and something. No, never did. Their only business was how to love Kṛṣṇa. Automatically.

Without any . . . of course, that stage is not easily obtained, but the śāstra says if you come to that stage, simply to love Kṛṣṇa, then you are on the highest platform of blissful life. Premāñjana-cchurita-bhakti-vilocanena santaḥ sadaiva hṛdayeṣu

Santaḥ, those who are devotees, they are twenty-four hours seeing God. That is

You Are Mad After An Appropriate Lover, But You Cannot Find That Within The Material World, That You Will Find When You Love Krsna

Posted by Gavin Swinden on April 8, 2023 at 0:20

(You are loving. You are mad after a appropriate lover who can love you also. But that you cannot find out within this material world. That you will find out when you love Kṛṣṇa." That is our Kṛṣṇa consciousness)

"As the devotee always think of Kṛṣṇa, similarly Kṛṣṇa also thinks of the devotee. He thinks more. That is the reciprocation.

ye yathā māṁ prapadyante

tāṁs tathaiva bhajāmy aham

(BG 4.11)

If you think of Kṛṣṇa twenty-four hours, Kṛṣṇa will think of you twenty-six hours. (laughter) Kṛṣṇa is so kind. If you do some service for Kṛṣṇa, Kṛṣṇa will reward you hundred times. But people, they do not want. They think, "What we shall benefit by serving Kṛṣṇa? Let us serve my dog." You see?

This is the misunderstanding. And our attempt is to awaken the dormant love of Kṛṣṇa. Everyone has got love—the stock of love is there—but it is being misused. They do not know where to place that love so that . . . because they do not know, therefore they are frustrated. Therefore t

This Is The Sign Of Love, That A Lover Cannot Live For A Moment Without The Beloved, So This Love Can Be Appreciated Between Radha And Krsna

Posted by Gavin Swinden on April 7, 2023 at 23:33

(This is the sign of love—that a lover cannot live for a moment without being associated with the beloved. This is sign of love. So this love, it can be appreciated only between Rādhā and Kṛṣṇa or between the gopīs and Kṛṣṇa; not otherwise)

"So Kṛṣṇa was the intimate friend of Arjuna. Not only to Arjuna; all the Pāṇḍavas. So they cannot tolerate separation from Kṛṣṇa. This is the sign of Kṛṣṇa devotee. Caitanya Mahāprabhu said that, "I have no love for Kṛṣṇa." The verse, just now I forget. Na prema-gandho 'sti (CC Madhya 2.45).

"So you have no love for Kṛṣṇa. You are always crying for Kṛṣṇa, and still you say that you have no love for Kṛṣṇa?" "No, I am crying just to make a show. Actually I am not devotee of Kṛṣṇa." "Why?" That "Because if I could have been a devotee of Kṛṣṇa, how could I live without Him? I have not died, still. That means I have no love for Kṛṣṇa."

This is the sign of love—that a lover cannot live for a moment without being associated with the beloved.

"Kṛṣṇa advises, "Always think of Me." Where is the difficulty? We have to think of something. We cannot keep our mind vacant. That is not possible. So make it a point that think of Kṛṣṇa, that's all.

Think of Kṛṣṇa, and if you chant, if you engage your tongue, "Hare Kṛṣṇa," and if you hear, then everything is compact in Kṛṣṇa consciousness. So to achieve strength, Kṛṣṇa is prepared to help us in so many ways."
