"...This indicates that a devotee’s wife must be prepared to act in such a way. Similarly, a devoted disciple of the spiritual master would rather die with the spiritual master than fail to execute the spiritual master’s mission. As the Supreme Personality of Godhead comes down upon this earth to reestablish the principles of religion, so His representative, the spiritual master, also comes to reestablish religious principles. It is the duty of the disciples to take charge of the mission of the spiritual master and execute it properly. Otherwise the disciple should decide to die along with the spiritual master. In other words, to execute the will of the spiritual master, the disciple should be prepared to lay down his life and abandon all personal considerations.

Srila Ramananda Raya Disappearance

Posted by Shri Nrsngha Dasa on May 4, 2018 at 9:30

Five hundred years ago in the district of Puri, in the village of Bentapur adjacent to Brahmagiri Alalnath, there lived a great devotee named Bhavananda Raya.Bhavananda had five sons, the eldest of which was Ramananda.Descendants of this family-line are known as Choudhury Pattanayaka.It is said that Lord Caitanya visited the birth-place of Ramananda in Alalnath every year.

Ramananda was the Governor of East and West Godavari and a minister of King Prataparudra.A great statesman of that period, Ramananda was also a poet and a scholar.When Bhavananda met Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu, the Lord embraced him and said, "Formerly you appeared as Pandu, and your five sons appeared as the five Pandavas."The five sons of Bhavananda Raya were Ramananda Raya, Pattanayaka Gopinatha, Kalanidhi, Sudhanidhi and Nayaka Vaninatha.

The Gauraganoddesadipika (120-124) states that Ramananda Raya was Arjuna in his past incarnation. He is also considered to have been an incarnation of the gopi Lalita, although i

Professor Suthers: The [Bhagavad] Gita has admitted the doctrine of the transmigration of the soul [reincarnation]. What does your Vaishnava Philosophy say about this?

Srila Bhakti Siddhanta Saraswati Thakur Jagad Guru Prabhupada:-- The “Gita” is not separate from the Vaishnava Philosophy. The Shrimad Bhagavatam fully reveals the true import of this doctrine, viz. that of changes of births for the soul.

Christianity has disregarded the principle of change of births on the alleged ground that if it is accepted, men will not restrain their sinful propensities, rather they will indulge in vices at their sweet will in their present life, on the expectation that they will be able to make good their sins, guilts, and wrong doing of this life in the course of the following ones.

But the Shrimad Bhagavatam has crowned the principle with its true significance by means of a much fuller scientific and philosophical meaning, by instructing the urgent necessity for ardently t

About how PRABHUPADA APPEARED

while the mataji was leaving her body

Harikesa das had two very devoted personal servants: Rati Devi and her husband. One day, on the day of the appearance of Narasimhadeva, Rati came into my room and told me: "I have cancer, I have to undergo surgery immediately, but Harikesa (said Sri Visnupad) wants me to drive a caravan from Germany to Poland He also told me that I should not care about this useless body. " So, she did not take any therapy, she did not have surgery on time. She went to Poland to reach the festival and serve her "Guru". Only two months later it was in terminal phase. I was talking to her on the phone almost on the daily basis. When she passed away, I received photos and heard some stories about her last hours. But I was never sure what really happened. It's been more than 20 years since your departure and I've been thinking, very often, what happened to your soul. She was so dedicated and sincere devotee, but a

So there is a most gross and disobedience against Srila Prabhupada. from Sambhu Das

Haré Krishna. Obviously you don’t know that Srila Prabhupada said on April 22 1977, that nobody was qualified to be a guru. On May 27 1977, Srila Prabhupada stated, “there must be strict vigilance and good management so nobody jumps to be guru.” On May 28 1977, he said two times that only if he orders, there can be gurus. On July 9 1977, Srila Prabhupada signed a document ordering that priests do the initiation ceremony and stated THREE times in different ways, that the devotees will be HIS initiated disciples. His last will and testament also states that only HIS initiated disciples can be executive directors of the ISKCON properties. So there is a most gross and disobedience against Srila Prabhupada. As a result we have even evidence that Srila Prabhupada was poisoned. A devotee who exposed the disobedience, (Sulocan Dasa) was murdered in 1986 for exposing the disobedience. Later ISKCON had to pay 26 million for child abuse due to some of the false gurus being child abusers

Narada Jayanthi

It is said that Narada influenced Daksha’s sons to practice renunciation and avoid marriage. Angry Daksha cursed him to wander aimlessly as a vagabond. According to legends, Sage Vedavyasa divided the Vedas as Rig, Yajur, Sama and Atharvana. He also wrote the Puranas and the epic Mahabharata. But he was clueless whether his works were sufficient to benefit humanity. Narada approached him and divided his predicament. Narada explained that none of the writings described the glories of the Lord and in Kaliyuga, the path of devotion was the easiest and fastest way to liberation. He inspired Vyasa to compose the Bhagavad Purana. Another legend narrates that once Valmiki asked Narada about a human who is perfect in thought, word and deed, free of sin and the embodiment of all virtues. Narada told him about Lord Ram and his glories. Valmiki was overjoyed, and he composed the Ramayana. Sage Narada was an authority in astronomy, music and other arts. He has authored ‘Naradasmriti’ and ‘Naradash
