Ramachandra Vijayotsava

ram-vijay10.jpg

On the tenth day of the waxing moon of Padmanabha (Asvina) month, occurs Vijayotsava. On this day Lord Ramacandra heard from Hanuman beneath the sami tree that he had found and seen Sita on the Island kingdom of Lanka. Hearing this, Ramacandra held a festival, and then set out for Sri Lanka. On this day one may perform special puja of Lord Ramacandra and then in His honour feed the Vaisnavas. This is a popular festival in north India, where, on this occasion, large paper effigies of the demon Ravana are burned to the resounding chants of Victory to Rama, Victory to Rama.

In the pastimes of Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu he absorbed Himself in the transcendental lila of Lord Ramacandra in the following manner as recorded by Srila Krishna dasa Kaviraj Goswami.

Kṛṣṇa Kṛṣṇa Kṛṣṇa He

the most important instructions Srila Prabhupada ever gave us for the future of his Movement

''I have stated this many times..... some understand it, but most don't and it usually causes some to become agitated. Most devotees never really understood who Srila Prabhupada is. The initiation means to begin on the path of Bhakti, each one must figure out how to take that first step. Srila Prabhupada made it perfectly clear to me that we are not his only disciples. His instruction was,"I have given you everything, don't change anything... I will have millions of disciples." These are the most important instructions Srila Prabhupada ever gave us for the future of his Movement.''

So, you wish to go to Krsna... You should know that He is with you every second, and when you desire, say, something lusty etc., He sees it all, all of it. If your heart is really full of selfish desire, then He cannot be fooled, you should be ashamed and control your thoughts, words and deeds. Otherwise you are an embarrassment.

Thinking, feeling, willing, then acting. If you stop sinful deed at the thinking stage, before it reaches feeling it with emotion, then strong desire, then you can readily stop sins. One who consciously chants holy Name is able to stop the 'thinking about material pleasures thing' before it is too much felt to be resisted.

Krsna does not associate with embarrassments, false egotists, and sinful persons. There is REAL pleasure to had when the spiritual world is reobtained.

Durga Puja

531218-durga-ts.jpg

Dussehra (Dassera) is one of the significant Hindu festivals, celebrated with much joy in the entire country.

The occasion marks the occassion of Lord Rama and brother Lakshman approaching Mother Durga to ask her for her blessings in His planned attack on the demon Ravana. It is therefore considered that the Supreme Personality of Godhead's approaching her for blessings to remove material impediments to His spiritual goals should be the approach of the humble devotee of the Lord to clinche the important triumph of Lord Rama over the demon king, Ravana, the victory of good over evil.

Message body

You've called me pathetic and egotistical, do you know me?  Probably not because if you did, you would have included judgmental, self-centered and arrogant in your list of my many, many faults.

Regarding cognitive dissonance/resonance, I've found that the safest way to minimize these tools of Maya is to only have one belief: the belief in Srila Prabhupada.  If he says something, even if sounds wrong, I accept it.  So when I heard, about a dozen years ago, Srila Prabhupada saying that he was poisoned (on a video), I accepted it to be truth, however unlikely it might seem to be.  Technically he mentions the possibility that he has been poisoned and says, "I think it is so."  There are several other recordings, where he says reiterates that he believes that he's been poisoned. That's good enough for me.  The other evidence, uncovere

Parallels between what is happening in the material world and what is happening in the devotee world suggest a sinister conspiracy

https://newnandagramcowprotection.wordpress.com/

Nothing is as it seems. Lies are accepted as the truth and truth speakers are treated as criminals, or shunned as heretics. Enmity is fostered while real crimes are hidden. We could be talking about present day ISKCON, or we could be talking about present day USA. The parallels are eerie. In fact the parallels are so pronounced that it is almost as though the events are following some sort of master plan. Is it possible that some sort of Sinister Movement is controlling events both ISKCON and the material world ? This article will examine the parallel events and explore the possibility that there are actual demons working behind the scenes in an effort to create the maximum discord while minimizing genuine spiritual pursuits.

Before we examine the parallel events, what did Srila Prabhupada say about the pre

Tamohara Dasa

Ranganath Das quotes Srila Prabhupada ;

Lord Krsna is equal to every living entity (cf Srimad Bhagavatam 3:5:38 by Srila Prabhupada).....

The Lord is equal to every living entity, just like the flowing Ganges. The Ganges water is meant for the purification of everyone, yet the trees on the banks of the Ganges have different values. A mango tree on the bank of the Ganges drinks the water, and the nimba tree also drinks the same water. But the fruits of both trees are different. One is celestially sweet, and the other is hellishly bitter. The condemned bitterness of the nimba is due to its own past work, just as the sweetness of the mango is also due to its own karma.

SEPTEMBER 12, 2017 -- LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA


The idea that one must approach or take shelter of a “living” guru is undoubtedly one of the biggest and most damaging of lies within the Krishna consciousness movement. This lie was started by a few deviated disciples after Srila Prabhupada’s disappearance in order to support their claim that Srila Prabhupada had appointed them to begin accepting disciples of their own and thereby become full-fledged diksa gurus.

If you take away the need for a living guru lie, what is left unclouded in the minds of so many bewildered people is the July 9th 1977 Directive issued by Srila Prabhupada (via his secretary) wherein Srila Prabhupada’s ongoing acceptance of disciples even after his disappearance is expressed in legal form. Moreover, the hundreds of quotes by Srila Prabhupada which the ritviks have continually presented over the years may also become unclouded to the minds of thousands of bewildered people. As of
