From Srila Prabhupada's CC;

I am your eternal servant, having forgotten..

Fallen into material, desire pool rotten..

You alone are only shelter, not my mother, father..

Not knowing this did I enjoy, independence rather..

Who can understand your deeds, you are master ultimate..

Sweet are your pastimes always, bliss the only climate..

In my ignorance of you, sinner have I become..

Know I not my dear Lord how, you will make me overcome..

You are omnipotent and, omniscient and everything..

Do I not know that you are, capable of anything..

On that knowledge I do have, plea a humble to be made..

Give me O Govinda mercy, your eternal lotus shade..

‎"In 1932 Visvambharananda dasa Babaji, on behalf of many babajis and caste Goswamis in Vrndavana, published a book opposing Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati and his Mission, citing extensively from sastra to support his arguments. He challenged that the line of parampara traced from Jagannatha dasa Babaji through Bhaktivinoda Thakura to Gaura Kisora dasa Babaji and then to Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati was unauthorized. Visvambharananda claimed that although Sarasvati Thakura was supposed to be the disciple of Gaura Kisora dasa Babaji, he was disqualified in several ways. First, Sarasvati Thakura did not accept as bona fide the recognized lineage of Gaura Kisora dasa Babaji, whose guru was in the Advaita-parivara. Furthermore, since Gaura Kisora dasa Babaji had never used a japa-mala, and had not given one to Sarasvati Thakura at the time of initiation but had simply placed some Navadvipa dust into his hand, Visvambharananda argued that such an initiation was not bona fide. The implication was t

I offer my respectful obeisances unto the lotus feet of Srila Goura Govinda Swami Maharaja, whose bodily colour is like gold. He is very grave, his head is shaved, and he dresses in saffron with gopi-tilaka beautifying his forehead. A beautifully fragrant flower garland surrounds his neck, attracting the hearts of all devotees.

 Duryodhana was the religious but demonic son of King Dhrtarastra, Grandfather of the Kurus Dynasty, pictured above hearing Gita via Sanjaya the devotee.  Duryodhana was much like our current world leaders!

Yes, i agreed.  our spiritual journey is eternal is not like the journey of this material and temporary body machine born from the refuse to serve Krsna. ,when the Kuruksetra battlefield finished, all the ksatriyas who left their bodies by fighting according to the rule and regulation of the ksatriya code met each other in the heaven, even Duryodhana was there and the Pandava ask to krsna," why a such evil person is in the heaven?",  and Krsna answer them that Duryodhana left his body by following the ksatriya rules. when the battle finished Duryodhana hide himself inside a lake. he got the mystic power from his mother Gandhari, who transferred all his penances benefit to his son.

The Devis and Demons

Durga slaying Mahisasura
Guler School, early 18th c.

Sep 22, CANADA (SUN) — Conclusion of the series, 'Lila Pastimes with the Transcendental Demons'.

"The Mother Nature is, as She should naturally be, the most faithful mistress of Godhead and She becomes angry for the behavior of the Asura and thus assume the role of Daivamaya (generally known as the Mohakali, Durga, Bhadrakali etc.) and take at once Her grim trident and inflicts the weapon in the heart of the asura who is also Her son. The asura thus becomes subject to threefold miseries and this is done according to the plan of Godhead as the mother has to chastise the disobedient son in order to make him alright.

This process of chastisement is necessary for the benefit of both the asura and the daiva sons in order to stop disorder in the great plan of Godhead. As sons as the asura, however, surrenders unto Godhead as the obedient son and servitor of the plan of Godhead the asura is turned into a devata. The angry m

Dear NNV Prabhu;  Thank you for the expose. It had become apparent to me that Puranjana and HKS were some sort of dissembling front, and i suspected CIA etc you know what i mean. Your letter here was most helpful tying all this together. The HKS and Puranjana hacked my sites, left traceable IP addresses back to San Jose, Sunnyvale, Kansas, New York, and Germany; all HKS cities;  and caused havoc, so now i know better how that all worked.  Pamho. AGTSP  Hare Krsna.

Your present stage of disillusionment came directly from the horror you experienced when you "pulled back the curtain" and saw for yourself the disgusting hypocrisy and corruption of Yasodanandana who you practically worshipped as your guru for ten years. Then you found his dishonorab

 A conversation between Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Thakur and Major Rana N. J. Bahadur at Armadale, Darjeeling on June 14th, 1935.

Question: I cannot understand this world.

Answer: It is camp life. This world is not our original abode. It is meant for certain purposes. After that we are to proceed to our original home. This world is not a desirable place. It is not good to be enticed to stay here for a long time, forgetting our original abode. We stay there with Godhead. We are the eternal servants of Godhead. When we decide to lord it over the universe we are allowed these facilities for temporary purposes. They do not serve our eternal purposes. It would be better to seek for a place where we can find the real peace. Here we are always liable to be disturbed. By these disturbances Providence wants to teach us that world is not our eternal habitation, but that all real peace is to be found in Him.

Being thus troubled we would naturally like to go back to the original place. Life

pamho tamohara prabhu agtACBSP,

As the devotees already know, the physical location of the body on this planet is not important. What is important is the place where the consciousness lives.

SRILA PRABHUPADA also used to say; "Although i'm here in America physically i'm always in SRI VRINDAVAN dham".  With my consciousness, i still keep contact with the devotees in the holy dham, especially with my old friend HG Sita Pati Prabhu, I will go in SRI MAYAPUR DHAM for the next Gaura Purnima. It will be exactly one year after my brahmana diksa by the mercy of the spirit net satsanga,

Sins get reduce day after day and i get stronger until i will surrender completely to the lotus feet of our guru maharaj HDG ACBSP ..... because the bhakti paresanu bhavo viraktir anyatra ca is working i mean the desire for material happiness is decreasing and the desire for spiritual advancement is increasing, until all the papam sinful activities gets destroyed and the seed of the bad weed get uproot to the r

Picture this please; Prabhupada Valley; Puspa-Samadhi Temple and Ashrama ;  a pleasant mostly vanaprastha community situated on lightly-forested rolling farming land in the grape-growing semi-meditteranean climate of Bala-ton Lake, (Lake Bala-Rama!) Hungary. Nearby, is the largest fresh water lake in Europe; Balaton, more or less part of the Danube river system. Natural hot springs abound known for restoring health and easing arthritis and stomach aliments.  Tourists crowd the long sandy beaches and others are boating and canoeing. Budapest is nearby, with many universities, artistic studios, religion, and historic beauty. Winters are short and not really so cold, maybe it gets 15 below for a few weeks, but nothing like those of more northern European countries, what to speak of Siberia/Canada! Summers are long and the growing season goes on and on, like Italy lite, without the excess humidity.

"Is there a probationary period for Kṛṣṇa consciousness or does one attain this enlightening according to his own rate of development?"

Yes, everything requires little enthusiasm. Just like a boy is going to school with no enthusiasm, and a boy is going to school with nice enthusiasm. One boy is passing in the first class, first division and another boy is failing or he's passing in the third division. So the probation period, of course, I've already explained: to associate with us, the second stage. First stage is faith and respect, the second stage is association. That is probational period. And so far attaining enlightenment according to one's rate of development; that development depends on your enthusiasm; how far you are serious. But one should become very serious. That is the law in every sphere of achievement. So for attaining to the perfectional stage of Kṛṣṇa consciousness, one should be very much enthusiastic. Yes. He must attain to the perfectional stage in this life. And th
