Srila Prabhupada’s statements about World War III

Thus a godless civilization becomes the source of all calamities

“Thus being advised by the demoniac ministers, Kamsa, who was from the very beginning the greatest rascal, decided to persecute the brahmanas and Vaisnavas, being entrapped by the shackles of all-devouring, eternal time. He ordered the demons to harass all kinds of saintly persons, and then he entered his house. The adherents of Kamsa were all influenced by the modes of passion as well as illusioned by the modes of ignorance, and their only business was to create enmity with saintly persons. Such activities can only reduce the duration of life. The demons accelerated the process and invited their deaths as soon as possible. The result of persecuting saintly persons is not only untimely death . The act is so offensive that the actor also gradually loses his beauty, his fame and his religious principles, and his promotion to higher planets is also checked. Driven by vari

Himself, the Person Krsna, by Tamohara dasa , acbssp.

Posted by Tamohara dasa ADMIN. on August 18, 2022 at 13:42

Do we as individuals love and serve Godhead Sri Krsna because He is All-powerful and can fulfill our needs, and protect and deliver us? Or do we love Him for Himself, the Person Krsna?

It is embarassing and even hurtful for one who is Krsna's friend to have to beg or worry about salvation and the power to do some actually useful and pleasing devotional service to Godhead. One wants to be independent, then as an equal, one can show that one appreciates Krsna the person for Who He is and what is His character, not merely like a business order supplier. One's family are at a different level of intimacy.

Baladeva’s Birthday [Baladeva Purnima]

Sri Srimad Bhaktivedanta Narayana Gosvami Maharaja
Baladeva’s Birthday
[Baladeva Purnima]

[Respected Harikatha Readers,
This year, 2022, Lord Baladeva’s appearance day anniversary is August 11. Srila Gurudeva Bhaktivedanta Narayana Gosvami Maharaja gave a discourse in His glorification in Hindi, translated by Radhika dasi of Russia. The following is a transcription of that translation:]

Today is the appearance day of Rohini-nandana Baladeva. According to the Vedic scripture Garga-samhita, Baladeva Prabhu appeared after Janmastami, but if this is accepted, there would be confusion. Baladeva would be older than Krsna by one year, and then They would not be able to play together, wrestle on equal terms, and have Their name-giving ceremony performed for both of Them at the same time. Therefore, Srila Jiva Gosvami has explained, “Baladeva Prabhu appeared after Jhulana-yatra on the purnima, the full-moon day, and Sri Krsna appeared seven days later on bhadra-astami, the auspicious eighth day of

TOPIC: Go To Hell!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Prabhupada: We are preaching Bhagavad-gita. If you like, you take it. Otherwise, go to hell. Who cares for you? We have started this institution, "Krsna Consciousness." So if you do not accept Bhagavad-gita, then why did you come here? Why do you come here? You go away. We are not hankering after you. If you go to hell, go. Go there. Who objects? Go. But if you come here, then you must be Krsna conscious. We, our Society, it is Krsna consciousness. So why do you come here for if you don't believe in Krsna? Go to hell. Don't come here. If you want to understand Krsna, then come here. That is the first principle. Therefore in New York somebody suggested that "Make this 'International Society of God Consciousness." That will be great havoc. They'll bring, rascals, so many Gods. Make it clear, "Krsna consciousness." If you are interested in Krsna, then come here. If you are interested in something else, you go there.>>> Ref. VedaBase => Morning Walk -- Ju

"O King Pariksit, mainly the topmost transcendentalists who are above the regulative principles and restrictions take pleasure in describing the glories of the Lord." (Srimad-Bhagavatam 2.1.7)

There is a stage called the paramahamsa stage. At that time, one does not very strictly follow the regulative principles. Or, rather, it is not that the paramahamsas are not following, but they're above all regulative principles. We should not imitate that position: "Now we have become paramahamsas, and we can neglect all regulative principles." No. You must prove that you are a paramahamsa.

What is the paramahamsa stage? Na

The whole material world is but God.

For God, Sri Govinda, everything is the spiritual world. Our lack of spiritual vision is the material situation. When we reawaken, we are also with Him in the spiritual world, everywhere we go.

for example;
The grass, reaches for the sun warmth and light, reaching for God in it's small manifestation, as food and light. The parked cars, they are manifestations of God's tendency to freedom, comfort, fun, colorful creation, intelligence, protection, power, mobility, communications and useful service done. These are His qualities, reflected in a small and temporary way via the souls as humans; a car.

The air, nourishes us, like the Mother. The sky is open and invitingly mysterious. In this way, the original source, sarva karana karanam, Sri Krsna, is reflected in infinite smaller manifestations, everything is a partial manifestation of attractive qualities of Godhead.

Everywhere we receive mercies and sustenance and beauty, and the will to

The science of God-consciousness is very complex and deep, like a reach up for the stars or down into the Marianna Trench. One could do doctorates in it for many kalpas of yugas of lifetimes.

But the simple innocent protective love of a Mother for her little child is the distilled and pure emotional peak of love, and when applied to God, this is the highest perfection of our Being, as He made us. When He is like our heart-breakingly dear Little One to us, to be cared for and to see His sweetly smiling small Face, then we know eternal love which grows and never ends, with actual full exchange to our heart's satisfaction and amazement.

No big brain required, no degrees. a child or an old old woman can easily find love of God in Deity worship, as opposed to study, meditation, huge sacrifice, or severe austerity. It is our natural tendency to love, applied to God, that is all. It grows almost automatically, like a flower from a fertile seed, given daily watering and sunlight

Sri Sri Radha Govinda are the essence of youthful early-maturity and enthusiasm in the pursuit of love.

Posted by Tamohara dasa ADMIN. on July 30, 2022 at 9:52

Sri Sri Radha Govinda are the essence of youthful early-maturity and enthusiasm in the pursuit of love. A freshness of innocence, yet perfection of sensual beauty, is held by the Divine Couple.

When we think of a very young human couple, whom we care about, married or together young, we are filled with happiness at their joy and youthful love. We wish to protect and nurture, to feed them, to perhaps play them a tune, to encourage and laugh and enjoy their pastimes, with our wisened aspect on life's tides.

Similarly devotees of God in the Eternal Youthful Form of Sri Govinda relish similar moods, but because Godhead is eternal, these relationships simply grow and become sweeter, rather than diminish and die within mundane time among mundane temporal beings. One is encouraged to learn to relish such simply charming sweetness of Being.

Why are we not realizing Bhagavān?

by Śrīla Bhaktisiddhānta Sarasvatī Ṭhākura Prabhupāda

Question 1: How can we achieve our transcendental welfare?

Answer: One invites terrible trouble by becoming a gṛha-vrata (one who has accepted a vow to remain in family life), or a gṛha-āsakta (one who is attached to his home and family). If, however, we remain under the guidance of that śrī gurudeva who is at every moment engaged in service to Śrī Kṛṣṇa and render service to him, all our troubles will cease to exist.

There is no way to obtain our transcendental welfare other than by following in the footsteps of the devotees of the Lord (bhagavad-bhaktas). Service to gurudeva, who is bhagavat-preṣṭha,

Just as there is great sacrifice and hence spiritual merit, in spreading the chanting of the holy Names, yet there is also great bad karma if one spreads a false or deviant cult. If one knows a sin is going on nearby and one can do something, and does not, then one is also eligible for the karma of the sins. That good or bad karma is multiplied many times as the Movement and/or false cult expand, and one's credit or culpability.

So, my Godbrothers in Iskcon who have failed to oust the poisoners and the globalist jewish take-over cult, and may even be part of the kill guru become guru agendas, are culpable, whereas I and those I have been honored to have helped with providing authorized initiation, have resisted the cults., so, we all get the good results, and none of the bad. Just saying.

Parjanya Maharaja (paternal grandfather)

Krsna's fair-complexion, white-haired and white-attired grandfather is named Parjanya Maharaja, because he is like a great cloud (parjanya) showering the nectar of auspiciousness. He is the best of all the residents of Vraja.

Desiring a worthy descendant, he followed the advice of Devarsi Narada and engaged in the worship of Lord Narayana, the husband of Laksmi. As he was worshiping Narayana at Nandisvara-pura, a pleasant voice spoke the following words from the sky:

"Because of your pious austerities you will obtain five sons. Of these sons the middle one, named Nanda, will be the best. Nanda's glorious son will delight the residents of Vraja. He will defeat all oppositions. Both the demigods and demons will worship Him, touching the jewels of their crowns to His lotus feet."

Hearing this, Parjanya Maharaja became happy and decided to reside at the place. He lived there until he saw the Kesi demon arri

1d··THE ARTSY FARTSY·

Millions of years ago, the great universe-conquering demonic King Hiran Yaksha engaged in drilling and extracting oil and Earth's resources. As a result, the Earth's natural orbital balance was disturbed, casting the planet into lower dimensional systems.

Seeing this, the great Demigods and Patriots went to visit the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Who agreed to help them. He appeared as the "son" of one brahmana, and soon grew into a gigantic size many times the size of Earth, in the form of a Divine Red Boar, and with His tusks, he rescued Earth and placed it back in natural orbit.

Hiran Yaksha was enraged! Drawing his weapons, he immediatelyt flew at the Lord. The fight between Hiranyaksha and Varaha the Red Boar was massively historical, remembered to this day. Martial might went on for a long time, viscious and hard, but in due course, Varaha caste His chakra weapon, and severed the head of the great demon leader.

Mahaprabhu’s mood at Ratha-yatra

At the beginning of the Ratha-yatra Festival, Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu offers a prayer to Jagannatha-deva, not to His form as Lord Jagannatha or Vasudeva-Krsna, but to His form as Vrajendra-nandana Sri Krsna:

By means of the mind, one thinks of a woman; by means of the mind, we make enmity with someone; by means of the mind, sometimes we speak truth and sometimes a lie. In our current state, all the activities we do, we do by means of the mind, so when we listen to Rādhā and Kṛṣṇa’s pastimes, we think that we are hearing by means of the mind [meaning, we think we can hear and understand

Srila Bhaktivedanta Swami Maharaja came to this world with the mission of Iskcon – Vaisnavism. What was that? It is the same mission as Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu. And who is Mahaprabhu? He is the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Lord Sri Krsna Himself. But He is also more than that; He is not only Krsna. He is the combination of both Srimati Radhika and Krsna.

There may be some lacking here, but I think that you do not care about that. We have not come here for facilities. We have come to hear hari-katha; the pastimes of Krsna, Caitanya Mahaprabhu, and Their associates. There may be some lacking, as there is in our Navadvipa parikrama, where more than 20,000 pilgrims gather, and where you can see only an ocean of heads. There may be so many things lacking there; so many pilgrims being hosted under trees; even without trees
