Question: What type of living entity is Mäyädevi?.

Question: What type of living entity is Mäyädevi?............

Prabhupäda: She is Vaisnavi. She is a great devotee of Krsna. But she has accepted a thankless task: to punish. The policeman is a sincere government servant, but he has accepted a task, nobody likes him. [laughs] If some policeman comes here, immediately you shall feel disturbed. But he is the sincere servant of government. That is the position of Mäyä. Her business is to punish these rascals who have come to enjoy here. But she is a sincere servant of God.

Question: Is this like a post?

Prabhupäda: Yes. It is a post, thankless post. Nobody thanks, everyone derides. But she is a great devotee. She tolerates and punishes. That's all. [Bg 7.14].

[This divine energy of Mine, consisting of the three modes of material nature, is difficult to overcome. But those who have surrendered unto Me can easily cross beyond it.]

She only wants to see that "You become Krsna conscious, I leave you," that's all. Police business is that

"Outside devotees, the devotees who are outside Vṛndāvana, they are studying the inhabitants of the Vṛndāvana, how great they are. But the inhabitants of Vṛndāvana, they don't care to know how great is Krishna. That is the difference. So our business is simply to love Krishna. The more you love Krishna, the more you become perfect. It is not that it is necessary to understand Krishna, how He has created. The things are mentioned there. Krishna is explaining Himself in the Bhagavad-gīta so much. Don't bother very much to know Krishna. That is not possible. Simply increase your unalloyed love for Krishna. That is perfection of life."

"So by offering everything to Kṛṣṇa, nobody is loser. You must always remember . . . they are gainer, the best gainer. Because after all, everything belongs to Kṛṣṇa. Why should we foolishly say: "It is mine. It is mine"? Ahaṁ mameti (SB 5.5,8) Janasya moho 'yam. This is called illusion. Nothing belongs to me, but I think that, "This is mine, this is mine, this is mine." The whole world is going on like that.

Football Tackle Attempt ...

The five of us Winnipeg brahmacaries had been touring USA in a Ford cube van, passing out Back to Godhead and Krsna books, collecting what we could. Jitarati, Padmapani, Bhudeva, Tamohara dasa, and Dharmaprana prabhus were there. By going to cities where John Denver concerts were held, one was sure to collect some Iskcon Food Relief donations. We were in Tulsa that evening, plain clothes and wigs, cans in hand, and ran our marathon, collected some laxmi

As I walked across the parking lot, opposite side of the buildings from the others, I spotted two bulky University police pointing at me, then running towards me as if they had intent. I kinda laughed at this, then there they were upon me. I tried to step neatly aside as one basically attempted a football tackle, took me to the pavement. They looked mad and sheepish, but seeing I was not fighting them or resisting, they declared I had

The gain is great. Simply if you think of Kṛṣṇa: man-manā bhava mad-bhaktaḥ. Where is the difficulty? But we are so rascal that we do not take advice of Kṛṣṇa. We manufacture our own ways; the suffering goes on."

(So the bhaktas (devotees), they are also so powerful that by chanting the holy name of God, they make the supreme all-powerful Lord descend in that place)

"We pray God, "Omnipotent, omniscient, omnipresent." So that is fact. God can be present anywhere simultaneously, omnipresent. Similarly, there is no difference between God and His place. Caitanya Mahāprabhu recommended, ārādhyo bhagavān vrajeśa-tanayas tad-dhāma vṛndāvanam (Caitanya-manjusa). As Kṛṣṇa is worshipable, ārādhya, similarly His place is also ārādhya, worshipable. So as He is all-pervading, similarly, His place is also all-pervading. So how things can be changed into Vaikuṇṭha? That is by chanting the holy name of the Lord.

Those who are demigods, they are always surayah. Surayah means Just like Aryans and non-Aryans. Then there’s suri and asuri, or sura or asura. Asura, asura means demons, and sura, just the opposite. Or Aryans and non-Aryans. So the Aryans Aryans, the real meaning, the Sanskrit word, “Aryans,” means progressive. We have historically made a class of men. No. Aryan civilization means who is progressive, advancing. They are intelligent. They are fair-complexioned. Therefore Aryan means progressive.

REAL INTELLIGENCE DOES NOT COME FROM THE BRAIN

"Bhṛgu Muni, a great supporter of Dakṣa, was awarded the beard of the goat’s head which was substituted for the head of Dakṣa. It appears from the exchange of Dakṣa’s head that the modern scientific theory that the brain substance is the cause of all intelligent work is not valid. The brain substance of Dakṣa and that of a goat are different, but Dakṣa still acted like himself, even though his head was replaced by that of a goat. The conclusion is that it is the particular consciousness of an individual soul which acts. The brain substance is only an instrument which has nothing to do with real intelligence. The real intelligence, mind and consciousness are part of the particular individual soul. It will be found in the verses ahead that after Dakṣa’s head was replaced by the goat’s head, he was as intelligent as he had previously been. He prayed very nicely to satisfy Lord Śiva and Lord Viṣṇu, which is not possible for a

Every . . . in every planet the living entities or human being, they are of different grades

Posted by Tamohara dasa ADMIN. on September 12, 2022 at 2:09

"Every . . . in every planet the living entities or human being, they are of different grades. Just like in this planet also, in some portion of this world there are savages, uncivilized persons, and in some portion of the world there are civilized persons, intelligent persons, God conscious persons; as there are different grades of persons in this planet, similarly, there are different grades of beings, living beings or human beings, in different other planets.
The higher and lower grades are calculated in terms of Kṛṣṇa consciousness. Consciousness is there everywhere, every living entity. Not only human being, but also animals, the consciousness is there. But the difference is, consciousness without Kṛṣṇa is lower grade, and consciousness of Kṛṣṇa in different degrees, they are higher grade. And when the consciousness is completely Kṛṣṇa, that is the highest position, or that is the real position of living entity."

From The Bhagavat, Its Philosophy, its Ethics and its Theology, By Srila Bhaktivinode Thakur

" Two more principles characterize the Bhagavata which is liberty and progress of the soul throughout eternity. The Bhagavat teaches us that God gives us truth as he gave it to Vyasa, when we earnestly seek for it. Truth is eternal and unexhausted. The soul receives a revelation when it is anxious for it. The souls of the great thinkers of the by-gone ages, who now live spiritually, often approach our enquiring spirit and assist it in its development. Thus Vyas was assisted by Narada and Brahma. "

You may already have attained perfection! What do you feel when you see Baby Gopal, smiling, so small and helpless, or Radha and Krsna together, so attached to each other and so cute? Are they dear to you, like family even, more dear than life itself? Then you have love of God ! Now, just try to do as much services as works, do not worry, from here on in, it's all good ! It can only get better, but water the tree of devotion with regular chanting, prasadam etc.

Don't buy all this worry about endless offenses and being a fallen rascal, so much. Just avoid sins. The bogus gooroos use this mentality to make you subserviant to them, to make you feel guilty or fallen, and then to pretend they will save you from yourself, because they are as good as Godhead. Only Lord Caitanya and Associates and a bonafide Sri Guru, Srila Prabhupada can do anyone any good; certainly not those in line from unauthorized fools who poisoned Prabhupada.

In Honor of Sri Radhastami
THE MEANING OF “RADHE”

[This year, 2022, Radhastami, the divine appearance day of the Supreme Mistress of all Gaudiya Vaisnavas, Srimati Radhika, is on Sept. 3. In honor of this day [see endnote 3], we are happy to offer this ever-fresh and ever nourishing lecture given by Srila Bhaktivedanta Narayana Gosvami Maharaja, in The Hague, Holland, on July 9, 2005. As an invocation to the tenth annual Holland Harikatha festival, Srila Maharaja requested the devotees to sing Srila Rupa Gosvami’s prayer, “Sri Sri Radhika Pada-Padme Vijnapti.” He then gave an elaborate explanation of the prayer:]

radhe! jaya jaya madhava-dayite
gokula-taruni mandala-mahite (1)

damodara-rati vardhana vese!
hari-niskuta-vrndavipine se! (2)

vrsabhanudadhi-nava-sasi-lekhe
lalita-sakhi! guna ramita-visakhe! (3)

Prabhupada: We Vaiṣṇavas do not say that there is no need of fighting. We never say. When there is need of fighting we must fight. Rather, somebody in New York, some Goldsmith, he was that, 'Why Krishna is advising Arjuna to fight, to become violent?'

So somebody protests like that. But there is no meaning of protesting against the action of the Supreme Personality of Godhead. That is our view. So we Vaiṣṇavas, we are chanting.

It does not mean that when there is need of fighting with avaiṣṇava (non-vaishnava) we shall lack in strength. We can fight. One gentleman inquired from me that 'Vaiṣṇavism makes one dull. He cannot act.' And, 'No. You have not seen a Vaiṣṇava.' In the two fightings, great fighting, the Rāmāyaṇa and Mahābhārata, the hero was Hanuman and Arjuna, and they fought.

Guest: They fought.

Prabhupada: Yes. And who can be better Vaiṣṇava than them?

Guest: Nobody.

Prabhupada: So Vaiṣṇava does not mean he is dull. No.

Guest: No, that is well proved. If there is need...
