We all feel spiritual life, the flow of bhakti shakti as it were, that sustains our life, that brings us aesthetic pleasure and meditative regard of great unending ever-fresh Beauty and even innocence. We may constantly worship with highest regards this Source of our life, the lotus feet. And what or Who is that Source? Even Krsna worships Her lotus feet, and the feet of His Parents. 

If we constantly respect, cherish, honor and serve this flow of nectar, understanding that it is the most precious well of life overflowing and sustaining us against an ocean of nothing, then we shall not commit offenses due to centuries of bad-conditioned mind or current occupation by demons. We are living within a vain and bewildering demon-infested plane of existence. Earth current makes total purity everywhere always next to impossible, like living in a cake filled with worms. But we can be sincere and steady in determination to serve Srila Prabhupada despite the fluctuations in the world around us, a

In his essay entitled "Initiation Into Spiritual Life" (written in December 1928 and published in the Harmonist) Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Thakura writes as follows:

The ceremony of diksha or initiation is that by which the spiritual Preceptor admits one to the status of a neophyte on the path of spiritual endeavour. The ceremony tends to confer spiritual enlightenment by abrogating sinfulness. Its actual effect depends on the degree of willing co-operation on the part of the disciple and is, therefore, not the same in all cases. It does not preclude the possibility of reversion on the novice to the non-spiritual state, if he slackens in his effort or misbehaves. Initiation puts a person on the true track and also imparts an initial impulse to go ahead. It cannot, however, keep one going for good unless one chooses to put forth his own voluntary effort. The nature of the initial impulse also varies in accordance with the condition of the recipient. But although the mercy of the go

Certain very higher beings can control and occupy the thoughts of many lower ones. Maya, a very powerful energetic and intelligent such a person, beyond mundane time restrictions, unseen even by most humans, dictates almost the every move of non-self-realized humans, who are so under her delusions that they think themselves free and the lords of all they survey. Her energy is not of the gross elements, a situation not currently understood by mundane science, as they are all under Maya's spell. This is the real horror story! Another such great female, Yogamaya, rather captures one in spiritual pastimes of great ecstasy, eternally, and that is the destination of the spirit soul when fully liberated. "Intelligent" beings of this galaxy have access to this knowledge. There is infinite variety, but also symmetry and organization, as there is Divine Purpose , orchestrated with the cooperators, and hence an organizing narrative is set in each galaxy/universe. Rebels against Godhead als

Have no fear! Krsna consciousness is very simple, it almost happens automatically if the process is followed sincerely. Mahaprabhu wants us delivered, Lord Nityananda is giving all Mercy, Srila Prabhupada gave everything to free us, how can we NOT get full results if we sincerely take?

No big brain required. Just as one naturally develops affection for one's family members, one who takes Gopal Krsna into one's home, also He becomes Family with time ! Time I Am ! Sayeth the Lord. But He is Godhead, so the relationship is very magickal and superior ! Krsna consciousness is hardly even a rational or logical process, those are not bhakti.

Chant Hare Krsna honestly, offer nice food as one can to Krsna, read about Krsna's pastimes and philosophy, share Harinam with others, take initiation and serve Srila Prabhupada's real mission; these little things are all that is required for easy advancement into eternal loving service in spiritual bliss !

“I Will Gratify My Malice by Stopping the Course of the World”

by Śrīla Bhaktisiddhānta Sarasvatī Ṭhākura Prabhupāda

If we disregard, or ignore, the devotees of God for elevating ourselves, we will be cast into the prison of three dimensions and spring towards [our materiality’s] inflation instead of contraction.

“I will be good. I will be cured of my mundane desires. I will have real well-being.” This kind of judgement is proper. But it is not at all laudable to entertain thoughts to the contrary: “I will gratify my malice by stopping the course of the whole world.”

It is by no means proper to establish one’s superiority in opposition to the worshipfulness of God’s devotees. The path of hearing the transcendental word has been rendered devious because the text ahaṁ brahmāsmi has been misinterpreted [to mean, literally, “I am the Supreme Spirit.”]

I have listened to the true interpretation of this text at the lotus feet of my divine master, who said, “It is our eternal duty to chant

Prediction of Srila Prabhupada in Bhavisya Purana.

Srila Prabhupada was chosen to spread Hare Krishna Mahamantra all over the world.

HG Jananivas Das prabhu : Another time, probably in 1973, Srila Prabhupada told me, “You can offer prayers in your own language if you like.” I used to chant the prayers in the morning. According to the shastra, you can only speak to the deity in Devanagari, the Sanskrit language.

In the Bhavisya Purana, bhavisya means in the future, it said that, “One saffron clad man will come from India and he will teach the Vedas in the language of the mlecchas.” [laughs] English is the language of the mlecchas. “And he will initiate with fire.”

Generally when a disciple receives the Gayatri mantra, it's a samskara which needs a fire sacrifice. Prabhupada used a fire sacrifice for the first initiation as well which is not mentioned in the Vedas.

It's for the Gayatri mantras. But for the Holy name Prabhupada used a fire sacrifice that is unique but is spoken of in the

Mother Katie Garden, Katyayani devi dasi, age 95, passed away to Vaikuntha Goloka in the Brahma Muhurta hour of Oct 6, 2020. I ask please, Prabhus, say a nice maha mantra and little prayer on her behalf. She was an extraordinary good woman, devoted to Gopal.The astrology was very very good !, Radha kunda was there, Lord Caitanya, Maha mantra, Srila Prabhupada, Tulsi devi. It was timely and a joyous blessing to move to a better body. She is sorely missed, but we feel her blessings from above. Gauranga! Hare Krsna! Jaya Gopal !

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...
