The Qualification Of Unalloyed Love

Posted by Gavin Swinden on November 5, 2022 at 4:00

(But only one qualification required. Then you can see God. What is that qualification? Premāñjana-cchurita-bhakti-vilocanena santaḥ sadaiva hṛdayeṣu vilokayanti. That qualification is unalloyed love. That's all)

"But only one qualification required. Then you can see God. What is that qualification? Premāñjana-cchurita-bhakti-vilocanena santaḥ sadaiva hṛdayeṣu vilokayanti. That qualification is unalloyed love. That's all. One who has achieved that unalloyed . . . unalloyed love for God . . . unalloyed love means without any tinge of philosophical speculation or fruitive activities. That's another subject; it requires great explanation. But unalloyed love means without any tinge of material color. That is called unalloyed.

Even philosophical speculation or fruitive activities, even if it is offered to the Supreme Lord, that is not love. Love is above this. So if one can achieve that unalloyed love for God, with that, I mean to say, magic wand, the eyes become eligible for seeing God. P

Give Aural Reception to The Message Of Krsna

Posted by Gavin Swinden on November 5, 2022 at 3:58

(So if you simply give aural reception to these messages of Kṛṣṇa, or God, then your dormant Kṛṣṇa consciousness becomes evoked naturally) 🙏💖

"You cannot by force teach something unless it is natural. So kṛṣṇa-bhakti is natural to everyone—everyone. How it is evoked? That is stated, śravaṇādi-śuddha-citte (CC Madhya 22.107): if you patiently give aural reception to the news of Kṛṣṇa, or God. That is the our motto of preaching. Our Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement is based on this principle, to give aural reception of the message given by Kṛṣṇa or the message about Kṛṣṇa. The message given by Kṛṣṇa is Bhagavad-gītā—everyone can take this message from Kṛṣṇa; there is no hindrance. Similarly, the Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam is message about Kṛṣṇa or Kṛṣṇa's devotees. So if you simply give aural reception to these messages of Kṛṣṇa, or God, then your dormant Kṛṣṇa consciousness becomes evoked naturally."

(Prabhupada Lecture, September 17, 1971, Mombasa)

Obeisances To The Spiritual Master

Posted by Gavin Swinden on November 5, 2022 at 3:56

(I offer my respectful obeisances to such guru, spiritual master, who is able to distribute the merciful rain of Kṛṣṇa to extinguish this blazing fire of material existence)

"So as the cloud is collection of water from the sea—cloud means evaporation of water from the sea—similarly, guṇārṇavasya, there is an ocean of mercy of Kṛṣṇa, or God. If one is able to collect water, or the dust, from the merciful ocean of Kṛṣṇa, and if we can pour over it the saṁsāra-dāvānala, then it is possible to extinguish this fire.

In other ways, just like the forest fire cannot be extinguished without the water from the clouds, similarly, this saṁsāra, this dāvānala, the blazing fire of all material existence, problems after problems, they cannot be extinguished unless there is pouring of incessant merciful rain from Kṛṣṇa, and one who bestows, one who distributes this rain, he is called the guru. Therefore Viśvanātha Cakravartī says: "I offer my respectful obeisances to such guru, spiritual master, who i

Krsna Reciprocates As We Deal

Posted by Gavin Swinden on November 5, 2022 at 3:53

(You deal with Kṛṣṇa. As you deal, He'll also . . . He reciprocates. That is Kṛṣṇa)

"So Kṛṣṇa is within. You cannot deceive Kṛṣṇa. That is not possible. Kṛṣṇa is the Supreme. If you are deceiver, Kṛṣṇa is also the supreme deceiver. And if you are lover, then Kṛṣṇa is the supreme lover. Ye yathā māṁ prapadyante tāṁs tathaiva bhajāmy aham (BG 4.11). You deal with Kṛṣṇa. As you deal, He'll also . . . He reciprocates. That is Kṛṣṇa."

Krsna Is Always With You

Posted by Gavin Swinden on November 5, 2022 at 3:49

(Although we have tried to give up our relationship with Kṛṣṇa, but Kṛṣṇa has not given up. Kṛṣṇa is always with you. Īśvaraḥ sarva-bhūtānāṁ hṛd-deśe 'rjuna tiṣṭhati (BG 18.61). He is within your heart. Why? Just to give you association)

"Because we are part and parcel of Kṛṣṇa, so the part and parcel must remain with Kṛṣṇa. So you have to remain with Kṛṣṇa in some relationship. Here our relationship is through this external energy, māyā. The relationship is there. Although we have tried to give up our relationship with Kṛṣṇa, but Kṛṣṇa has not given up. Kṛṣṇa is always with you.

Īśvaraḥ sarva-bhūtānāṁ hṛd-deśe 'rjuna tiṣṭhati (BG 18.61). He is within your heart. Why? Just to give you association. Now we are rebelled. You want to do something independently. Kṛṣṇa also has agreed, "All right. You do independently. But it is not possible for you to live independently. That is not possible. So I'll give you sanction for independent living." Just see how Kṛṣṇa is friend."

The Eyes To See Krsna

Posted by Gavin Swinden on November 5, 2022 at 3:45

(That is Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement: to give you the eyes to see Kṛṣṇa everywhere)

"You will find Kṛṣṇa there when you are advanced. Otherwise you will not find. Mat-sthāni sarva-bhūtāni nāhaṁ teṣu avasthitaḥ. Kṛṣṇa is situated in everything, but still, you cannot see in Kṛṣṇa unless you have got eyes to see. That is Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement: to give you the eyes to see Kṛṣṇa everywhere. So how this thing can be done?

So if you are serious, then you can see Kṛṣṇa. So that Kṛṣṇa is advising in this verse in the Seventh Chapter, or throughout the whole Bhagavad-gītā. Kṛṣṇa is instructing us how to understand Him. That is our only business. This human form of life is meant for understanding Kṛṣṇa, because we are very thickly related with Kṛṣṇa, just like father and the son. This relation cannot be broken. Maybe son is out of home, son may have forgotten, but Kṛṣṇa, the supreme father, He does not forget."

(Prabhupada Lecture, October 27, 1975, Nairobi)

Seed of Devotional Service

Posted by Gavin Swinden on November 5, 2022 at 3:43

(One day it will grow so big that it will penetrate the walls of this universe. It will go to the spiritual world and gradually go to the Goloka Vṛndāvana, and catch up the lotus feet of Kṛṣṇa, and then produce its fruits, and you will enjoy by eating the fruits)

"Just like you get some nice seed of rose flower. So if you sow it on the ground, just becoming a nice gardener, and pour water, then it gradually grows. So we have to take the bhakti-latā-bīja (seed of devotional service) from the bona fide spiritual master and sow it within the heart, taj-joṣaṇād āśv apavarga-vartmani śraddhā bhaktir anukramiṣyati (SB 3.25.25), and pour water. Just like simply sowing the seed is not your business is finished. You have to sow . . . you have to pour water. So what is that pouring water?

mālī hañā sei bīja kare āropana

śravaṇa-kīrtana-jāle karaye secana

(CC Madhya 19.152)

This is the watering: hearing about Kṛṣṇa, chanting about Kṛṣṇa. So you take the bhakti-latā-bīja from the spiritual master—t

PRABHUPADA DESCRIBES WHAT IS CONSIDERED A TEMPLE:

Letter to Gargamuni -- Bombay 4 November, 1970

Wherever Hare Krishna Mantra is chanted, some words are spoken from one of our books, and prasadam is distributed, that is considered a temple. We have no need of any large buildings or palaces. We are simple.

His chivalrous pleasure

Posted by Tamohara dasa ADMIN. on November 2, 2022 at 5:01

"However, although the Supreme Personality of Godhead may become the so-called enemy of the living being, this is His chivalrous pleasure. For example, the Lord fought with Bhishma, and when Bhishma pierced the Lord's body on the Battlefield of Kurukshetra, this was a kind of humor or relationship, of which there are twelve. When the conditioned soul tries to reach the Lord by hurling an arrow at Him, the Lord takes pleasure, and the living entity gains the profit of going back home, back to Godhead." - Srila Prabhupada's purport to Srimad Bhagavatam 7.15.42

We are winning now !! The Vedic knowledge is Supreme. Now that Jones et al are praising us, our knowledge will gradually assume ascendance, and our history of the globalist poisoners will be fully revealed, and they will be thrown down!

Pious means there is no reaction of sinful life. It is all squared up

Posted by Tamohara dasa ADMIN. on October 27, 2022 at 5:37

"Pious means there is no reaction of sinful life. It is all squared up. That you can do at any moment. Kṛṣṇa takes charge. Kṛṣṇa says, ahaṁ tvāṁ sarva-pāpebhyo mokṣayiṣyāmi (BG 18.66). He can do that. He can nullify the destiny. Karmāṇi nirdahati kintu ca bhakti-bhājām. Everyone is bound up by the laws of karma. Yas tv indragopam athavendram aho sva-karma-bandhānurūpa-phala-bhājanam ātanoti. Everyone, beginning from that small microbe, indragopa, and up to the king of heaven—his name is also Indra—so from this Indra to that Indra, all different types of living entities, they are suffering, not enjoying; suffering the resultant action of their past sinful life. This is material existence."

ONLY PRABHUPADA

Gavin Swinden · October 20 at 5:16 AM ·

(So creator was there in the beginning, and then the created material world was in existence or is in existence. Therefore God is not one of these created things)

"So creator was there in the beginning, and then the created material world was in existence or is in existence. Therefore God is not one of these created things. He is beyond created. He is transcendental. If we accept God is also one of the created beings, that is our mistake, because if God created this material world, He was existing before the creation. Therefore He is not one of the product of this creation. Therefore He is sac-cid-ānanda-vigraha. His body is eternal, full of bliss and full of knowledge. Creator means He must have full knowledge. How God creates this material world?

That is explained in the Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam: janmādy asya yataḥ anvayāt itarataś ca artheṣu abhijñaḥ svarāṭ (SB 1.1.1). This creator is well conversant direct

VRINDA DEVI PLEADED: PLEASE DO NOT TAKE ME OUT OF VRINDAVAN

VRINDA DEVI PLEADED: PLEASE DO NOT TAKE ME OUT OF VRINDAVAN

Once when Rupa Goswami was living in Vrindavan, he had a vision in which Vrinda devi appeared to him and revealed that She in Her deity form was hidden in Brahma Kunda.

So Srila Rupa Goswami excavated Shri Brahma Kunda and there found this beautiful deity of Vrinda devi. She was originally installed by Vajranabh, Krishna’s great-grandson, approximately 5,000 years ago. This is the most ancient, prominent deity of Vrinda devi in the entire world.

Srila Rupa Goswami installed Vrinda devi in his Radha Govinda temple in Vrindavan and there he personally worshipped Her.

Later on when Aurangazeb attacked Vrindavan to destroy the temples and deities, the King of Jaipur decided to bring all the prominent deities of Vrindavan to Jaipur for protection.

So on bullock carts he brought the deities of Shri Shri Radha Madanmohan, Radha Govinda, Radha Gopinath and Radha Govindaji along with Shrimati Vr

Lord Jesus Christ was killed. So they may kill me also.

Prabhupāda: This is our position. Gradually they will show Hare Kṛṣṇa movement. In India also, although India's... They will want to crush down this movement. So this will be up to Him. Kṛṣṇa or Kṛṣṇa's movement, the same thing. And Kṛṣṇa was attempted to be killed by Kaṁsa class of men and his company, the demons. So it will be there; it is already there. Don't be disappointed, because that is the meaning that it is successful. Kṛṣṇa's favor is there, because Kṛṣṇa and Kṛṣṇa's movement is not different, identical. So as Kṛṣṇa was attempted to be killed, many, many years before He appeared... At eighth child, if the mother produces child yearly, still ten years, eight years before His birth, the mother was to be attempted to be killed. So there may be attempt like that. And Lord Jesus Christ was killed. So they may kill me also.

Siddha-svarūpa: I don't think that is possible.

Prabhupāda: No, I mean to say, I am not so important man. But it is the, this is the way of the law.

Jaya Radhe-Govinda !

In Goloka, near Govardhana, during the eternal-seeming rasa dancing, amidst jewel-garnished sepulchres and swings and sitting places of cushions and flowers, a great festival is going on! The different sets of gopis and manjaris play fantastic much-loved music to please all. Fruit laden wish-filling desire trees and campakas and bael and fig and neem and banyon trees decorate the flower-laden park-like scene. Everyone is serving and enjoying loving service.

The sets of dancing are truly out of this world! There are many styles, sometimes solos, sometimes many dance and play instruments in concert. Sometimes the dancers touch the back of their own heads with their own feet, the break dancing is so amazing. Sometimes it is beautiful and sweet, sometimes wild and ecstatic!

Mrdangas, lyres, tambouras, esarajas, vinas, karatalas, flutes; so many wonderful instruments and players and expressers of divine love and happiness and enchantment show their mature skills ! Some

Srila Prabhupada Thakur says, ''Your Muhammadism, Christianism, Hinduisim, Buddhism, this is skin disease.''............
Prabhupada: This dogmatism, fanaticism -- "Oh, why I shall chant Hare Krsna? I am Christian," "I am Jews" -- this is fanaticism. If you find actually ecstasy by chanting Hare Krsna, why should you not? "No. I am Jew," "I am Christian," "I am Muhammadan." Well, it is transcendental vibration from the spiritual platform. Your Muhammadism, Christianism, Hinduisim, Buddhism, this is skin disease. Because you have got some particular body at particular circumstances, therefore you claim like that. But actually we are all spirit soul, and this sound vibration is from the spirit soul. It will appeal to everyone. See the effect. Then don't be fanatist. >>> Ref.

THE HIGHEST PRAYER - "I AM YOURS; UTILIZE ME"
Śrīla Bhakti Rakṣak Śrīdhar Dev-Goswāmī Mahārāja
"The prayer to the highest degree that we find is: 'I want Your connection. You may utilize me. You may think me to be Yours, and keeping me in Your connection, utilize me according to Your sweet will. I have no particular claim nor aspiration that I must attain this or that, but only I want to be Your faithful servant, and so You please utilize me in any way You like. Only that inseparable connection with You I want. Your connection I want: Your sincere connection, and You know best what connection that is. I do not know what is what, but You know what is best. Only consider me as Your own and utilize me.'"
