Srila Prabhupada Speaks Out-

"So you cannot change the words of Bhagavad-gītā. That is foolishness.

Anyone who changes the orders and the words of Bhagavad-gītā, they are rascal; they'll not get any benefit."

Hare Krsna. All glories to His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada.

Following are some quotes that are direct instructions against the whimsical changes in the original Bhagavad Gita As It Is.

There is no difference. Just like we are reading Bhagavad-gītā. Why we're interested? Because Bhagavad-gītā and the speaker of Bhagavad-gītā, Kṛṣṇa, they are identical. So you cannot change the words of Bhagavad-gītā. That is foolishness. Anyone who changes the orders and the words of Bhagavad-gītā, they are rascal; they'll not get any benefit. Because you cannot correct Kṛṣṇa, what Kṛṣṇa says or God says. That is not in your power. So these rascals, they want to interpret, "This is like this, this is this, I think it is this." No. Kṛṣṇa did not live for you, for your

My Friend Renders More
Intimate Service Than I Can

by Śrīla Bhaktisiddhānta Sarasvatī Ṭhākura Prabhupāda

The Personality of Godhead has a singular significance, quite distinct from the impersonalism we have here due to our apathy toward Him. Such apathy is improper in itself and a contamination consisting of incompatible concomitants.

I myself should not be polluted by that discord which is always found in the plurality [duality] of this miserable manifestation, but I have every inclination to make my friends quite compatible with the All-love [God], provided they count me as one of them [as a soul in service to the All-love]. I will then be in a position to accept comradeship in that plurality as all of us shall have one aim and object and no conflicting discord born of mutual rivalry. I will be all more pleased if I find that another person competes in my line to serve my All-love in a better way perhaps than I can.

Misdirected energy leads to dead ends. Latch a-hold firmly instead, to constancy in divine devotional service, as that will last and grow ever more satisfying in your esteem and appreciation, come what may, with no barriers or loss. "Unto those who are steady in their devotion, I give the knowledge by which they can come to Me." Sri Krsna, Bhagavada Gita As It Is. "In this endeavor, there is no loss." All things and beings are within His grasp and realm and control, and when we act willfully and sincerely in knowledge, in accordance with His Will, then that is pure Krsna consciousness, and the source of immortality. In this age, special dispensation is given, so that it can be relatively easily obtained, and is simple.

Hare Krishna, all glories to Srila Prabhupada, an excellent prediction by Srila Prabhupada is presented below just a few months prior to his physical departure.

Key predictions:

The globalists were shaking, said they were afraid we would seize governments, and we did in Fiji, gained much influence in India, ongoing, then they assassinated our leader and installed cia puppets.

Srila Prabhupadas Quotes on Lord Jesus Christ:

He is our guru. He is preaching God consciousness, so he is our spiritual master. Therefore we adore Lord Jesus Christ and offer our obeisances to him.

“Jesus Christ is accepted as the son of God. He presented himself as the son of God. And here Krishna says that ‘I am the Father.’” – Chaitanya Charitamrita lecture, 1968

“…is no difference between God and His servant. Yes. That we say…Because a devotee, like Lord Jesus Christ, means confidential servant of God, there is no difference…”
“Yes. A real Vaishnava, a real devotee, is even more merciful than Krishna. Take Lord Jesus Christ, for example. It is said that Lord Jesus took everyone’s sins upon himself, yet…”

The present Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement follows the same principle, and therefore simply by chanting and dancing we have received good responses all over the world. It is to be understood, however, that this chanting and dancing do not belong to this material world. They are actually transcendental activit

Those of us who are priests and brahmanas, and have taken vows of poverty; it is these very times when our true riches become manifest. The temporary earthly things do not hold a candle to the inner light and the joys of spiritual life, made accessible by renouncing excess material consumption. We lived to grow, and now relish the ripened fruits of our cultivations. Picking those fruits, we can freely distribute them to others, as much as they wish to take, as there is no limit or shortage.

Srila Prabhupada ;

" From now on unless I order you do something change or in addition, go on with the usual standard way. "

"Kṛṣṇa consciousness does not meant to be one-sided. Kṛṣṇa is all-pervading, the Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement also should be all-pervading. It should touch everything, even politics, sociology, everything, if required. That is the aim. Because Kṛṣṇa’s mission is: yadā yadā hi dharmasya glānir bhavati bhārata [Bg. 4.7], paritrāṇāya sādhūnāṁ vināśāya ca duṣkṛtām [Bg. 4.8]."

Most of the ancient Earth cultures worshipped the Divine Couple. Just as the Christians have their paintings and statues, so do the ancient cultures. It does not mean they are so stupid to worship a stone. Just as a post office box is authorized, religious worship according to scriptural authorizations is just like you bow to a cross on the church altar etc., only more personal and elaborate, and no one nailed to anything. Hare Krsna Such Divine forms remind us of our inherent personal nature and love of Godhead. Armed with such knowledge, we can stand in confidence and fight impersonalism and sectarianism.

Don't Choose a Mere Flatterer As Your Guru

by Śrīla Bhaktisiddhānta Sarasvatī Ṭhākura Prabhupāda

The sincere activities of the spiritual guru always tend to give permanent relief to his disciples. The guru aims at extending their knowledge of the Absolute and removing the foreign obstacles of double layers of dirt that cover that knowledge.

In selecting a real and true guru, one should never aim for a mere flatterer, who lulls and encourages the wrong aptitudes of a disciple. The disciple’s submissive attitude and unconditional surrender to the All-love will evoke Bhagavān’s mercy, and He will kindly fulfil our prayer. The cogent but loving potency of the All-love will then operate on us, to pacify the turmoil arising out of our baneful activities.

The preceptor will never let us fall into the extensive snare of māyā, as he has no ulterior motive to dissuade us from having sure access to transcendental treasures. He will show us – for our inspection or exa

Why do old men feed birds? - Tdasa

Posted by Tamohara dasa ADMIN. on December 2, 2020 at 21:47

Why do old men feed birds? Because they have over a lifetime developed a love for all living things, a desire to help and be useful and do good for others. Now with their compassionate loving minds, in maturity their bodies cannot sustain the workload. The younger ones seem oblivious to the value of their life knowledge and experiences, being so enamored of their own necessities in life. Hardly anyone has time or cares about an old person, except for their dwindling circle of family and friends, most of who may now be gone. And so, as there is sometimes precious little to do to benefit others despite their compassionate God-conscious mind-set, with the desire to somehow still be useful and helpful, they feed the little ones, the birds. As the good Lord Sri Krsna said, I am aware of each and every little sparrow.

One day in Goloka Vrindavana on Karttika Purnima during Sri Krishna’s aprakata-lila an amazingly, sweet and beautiful pastime took place. Soothing rays of moonshine danced on the floor of the nikunja, as Nikunjeshavari Radha, rapt in the anticipation of romance, sat in anxious waiting. But Priyaji’s gallant lover Shyama arrived in the wee hours of night just before dawn.

Upset and disappointed, Radhika glared at Shyama, and then angrily tied Krishna around the waist with the string from Her undergarment (nivi). Krishna said He was detained due to Maa Yashoda’s offering a feast to celebrate the end of Karttika. Pacified by this excuse, Radhika untied Her Priyatama and smiled affectionately at Her sweetheart. At that time, Sri Krishna felt the epitome of bliss being bound by His beloved in such an intimate way.

In supreme satisfaction, Shyama addressed Sundari, “O beautiful treasure of My heart, because You bound Me around the waist with Your

TRANSLATION “To stop the quarreling among different peoples, Maharaja Priyavrata marked boundaries at rivers and at the edges of mountains and forests so that no one would trespass upon another’s property.”

PURPORT: The example set by Maharaja Priyavrata in marking off different states is still followed. As indicated here, different classes of men are destined to live in different areas, and therefore the boundaries of various tracts of land, which are described here as islands, should be defined by different rivers, forests and hills. This is also mentioned in relation to Maharaja Prthu, who was born from the dead body of his father by the manipulation of great sages. Maharaja Prthu’s father was very sinful, and therefore a black man called Ni?ada was first born from his dead body. The Nai?ada race was given a place in the forest be
