A new day everyday…

Posted: 28 Aug 2011 09:17 PM PDT

This movement is made of the mercy of Krsna and the problem is that being conditioned souls, we are very inspired and excited when something is new but then after a little while it becomes routine. So by now it's just, 'this Hare Krsna movement, we are apart of it…' and it's just routine and it's apart of our life. So when spiritual life has become a routine then it means we are taking the mercy for granted. We are no longer seeing the mercy, no longer appreciating the mercy.So we have to everyday again make a special endeavor to attract the mercy of Krsna. One has to renew day by day his surrender. Everyday start again, 'today I'm going to start again. I'm going to make a renewed endeavor to attract the mercy of Krsna.' Everyday again and again. It's not like, 'oh, I'm trying and it just doesn't work, I've been trying now for the last seven years and I'm just a conditioned soul, there is no hope for me…' No. Then today, realizing that we are that, then today we make a special endeavor, today do something extra. You don't have to be superman, (dramatic) 'tadada, tadadada, tadadada….super bhaktas in town!' We always want to be super bhakta. But we can just do something nice for Krsna today. Instead of making it 'another day in KC' we can make this a special day!

When the impossible becomes possible…

It's not that we have to do the impossible. We can always meditate in Krsna consciousness on all the things that are impossible but rather than thinking about the impossible, let's do the possible. And the more we start to do all the small things that are possible then one day we find that the impossible has become possible. That's the nature of doing many small things. When we are able to take up many small things then at one point a big step becomes possible. This is a very important point in Krsna consciousness.(Kadamba Kanana Maharaja, June 2011, London)

The Mercy of Srila Prabhupada!

(Kadamba Kanana Swami, 2011)

Krishna made arrangements for the conditioned souls to receive transcendental knowledge, and He created the Vedas – the entire mountain of all vedic knowledge! Then just at the edge of this mountain, the ocean of mercy of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu had reached and the wave of Mahaprabhu's mercy washed onto the beach, and left a watermark there…on the beach…a line. On that ocean of Mahaprabhu's mercy came an extremely powerful wave, which was the mercy of Srila Prabhupada and had extended still further than the mercy of Mahaprabhu…and this made a further watermark, high up on that beach.

So in this way, we have on the one hand the vedic injunctions, and on the other hand we cannot follow all the vedic injunctions. It's very difficult to follow. We have the mercy of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu and even that we find difficult to follow. Then we have the mercy of Srila Prabhupada and even that we find difficult to follow…that's more or less were it's at.

For example, if you read the book 'The Hari Bhakti Vilasa', which is a compilation of many quotes from many various vedic sources. It is said that they ask a question:

"If anyone eats on Ekadasi…well it says in the 'Hari Bhakti Vilasa' that, if we eat on Ekadasi, then in the next life one will become a hog!".

So what do you think of that? So if you eat anything, than you become a hog according to the 'Hari Bhakti Vilasa'. Really sorry – including the French fries and those Ekadasi goodies….I'm so sorry. So there is an extended license here, that we are getting over the 'Hari Bhakti Vilasa'. We have to understand that Srila Prabhupada just gave us a little bit more leeway and there you go, you are getting ready for tomorrow, and usually eat more on Ekadasi day! So that's the Hare Krishna Movement!

The blog has been hacked some days ago and the hackers messed up the layout and installed some nasty programs to send spam emails. I have deleted all the nasty files and cleaned up the blog software. Also all user passwords have been reset, so you have to create a new one. Sorry for the inconvenience. I hope this will not happen again.

If anything on this blog is not working properly then please let me know.

Just do some service for Krsna. We don't have to be in anxiety, we can become very peaceful because we can serve Krsna so easily in a very natural way and automatically we'll become more and more attached to Krsna just by serving. But what if we leave this world before we would become very advanced? Then there is no problem also. There is no problem at all because then there is asa-bandha, hope against hope. It means that even if there is no reason to hope that we will ever be successful because we ourselves are not pure but still we hope that Krsna will give us the mercy because we know that He is very soft hearted and very merciful. So although we are not qualified we will surely get the mercy. And Prabhupada and our spiritual master, they have prayed for us. And if our service is not good enough, Krsna looks at the service of our spiritual master and our spiritual master is asking, 'dear Krsna, please take this disciple of mine back to Godhead.' Then what can Krsna do….Krsna says, 'okay then let him or her go…' So asa-bandha, hope against hope.
