We have several aspects to take care of and doing great in one and missing out in other areas in life wont do much good. </div><div><br /></div><div>We need to work on all platforms of physical body, mental, emotional, intellectual, spiritual and social needs. How you run your single day is how your life would be. Little things add up eventualy after weeks, months and years. Therefore, the secret of compounding your efforts and seeing success is in your daily routines. Do not under estimate what a 30 min daily routine can do to you after months of consistent practice.</div><div><br /></div><div>So my friend have good daily routines for all these aspects of life by dedicating time and energy for each one of these areas to have a balanced, healthy and peaceful life. </div><div><br /></div><div>Physical Health </div><div> 1.

Keeping your emotional health stable by being mindful and aware of your surroundings and the people around you. </div><div> 4. Staying away from mean people or narcissistic type of people or those that you dont get along so well. Stay Far away from those that drain your mental energy like vampires. Keep those only with who you feel peace and calm in their presence.</div><div> 5. Regulating Sleeping habits and cycles and early to bed.</div><div> 6. Keeping your space organized and clean</div><div><br /></div><div>Intellectual Health:</div><div> 1. Learn something new about anything for making your life better. It could be religious/spiritual or technology that helps make life better or about health or pyschological impact and needs.</div><div> 2. Keep the intellect sharp by regular connection with advanced wise people who have seen the life and have a vision. You are made of the closest five people who you regularly associate with. So choose association wisely.</div><div><br /></div><div>Spiritual Health:</div><div> 1. This goes beyond the 3 dimensional life we perceive with our senses and mind</div><div> 2.

We may resolve to never forgive ourselves as a way to make up for those actions.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">However, what does making up for our misdeeds require? Externally, offering apologies and reparations. And internally changing our mental impressions, which are the impellers of our various actions. When we mistreated others, that action arose from an underlying psychic impression of unkindness. If we want to make amends and treat others better in the future, we need to replace that impression of unkindness with an impression of kindness. And the only way we can change our inner impressions is by consciously choosing to act kindly. This means that we treat others kindly — and also treat ourselves kindly. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Can't we be kind toward others and harsh toward ourselves? Possible briefly, but not sustainably. Why not? Because our habitual actions are determined less by our conscious intentions and more by our subconscious impressions. When we remain unforgiving toward ourselves, we are acting unkindly toward ourselves, thereby reinforcing the inner impression of unkindness. And because our mind dwells much more on ourselves than it does on others, our unkindness toward ourselves will form stronger impressions than our kindness toward others. Over time, these impressions of unkindness will overwhelm the impressions of kindness and impel us to act unkindly toward others too. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">To sustainably change ourselves, kindness has to begin at home: we need to forgive ourselves. Pertinently, the Bhagavad-gita (12.13) urges us to be a kind friend toward everyone, wherein everyone includes us too. </span></p> <p><b>One-sentence summary: </b></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">When we refuse to forgive ourselves for our past misdeeds, we are unwittingly trying to make up for our past unkindness toward others with our present unkindness toward ourselves; but the only sustainable way to make up for unkindness is by kindness, toward others and toward ourselves too. </span></p> <p><b>Think it over: </b></p> <ul> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">What does making up for our misdeeds require?</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Why can't we be kind toward others and harsh toward ourselves?</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">In which area of your life do you need to forgive yourself?

One such misunderstanding centers on how it can be developed: we may believe that if we contemplate the many wrongs we have done in the past and beat ourselves up for them, we will thereby develop humility.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">It's true that contemplating our past mistakes can help counter the toxic growth of hubris, which is the opposite of humility. Hubris centers on an overestimation of ourselves, especially our talents and virtues. Our mistakes remind us forcefully that we are not as talented or as virtuous as we thought we were, thereby pricking a hole in our hubris. However, hubris is shockingly stubborn; as soon as we forget our mistakes, it rapidly resuscitates itself. To prevent its resurrection, we need to stay aware of our mistakes – or more precisely, of our limitations that those mistakes point to.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">How can we stay aware of our limitations? By acknowledging, at least to ourselves, that we can't just take up any difficult task that we want, presuming that we have the necessary ability; and that we can't let ourselves go into any provocative situation, presuming that we have the necessary virtue to avoid getting provoked. When we thus unhesitatingly acknowledge our limitations, we make honesty the natural and sustainable foundation for our humility.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Unfortunately, instead of acknowledging our limitations, we sometimes obsess over the mistakes we committed and beat ourselves up for them. Such self-flagellation only breeds negativity: it makes us believe that we are too flawed and fallible to ever do anything worthwhile; it depletes our confidence that we can do some good, however small; it eventually destroys our will to even try to do any good. Thus, we end up becoming reservoirs and radiators of negativity. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">That's why we need to evaluate whether our contemplation on our mistakes is helping us or harming us. </span></p> <p><b>One-sentence summary.</b></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Contemplating our mistakes to stay aware of our limitations fosters humility; contemplating those mistakes to beat ourselves up breeds negativity. </span></p> <p><b>Think it over: </b></p> <ul> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">How can contemplating our mistakes counter hubris? </span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">How can we stay aware of our limitations? </span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">How is beating ourselves up for our mistakes counterproductive? </span></li> </ul> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">***</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">13.08: Humility; pridelessness; nonviolence; tolerance; simplicity; approaching a bona fide spiritual master; cleanliness; steadiness; self-control; … [ – all these I declare to be knowledge].</span></p> <p><a href="http://bhagavadgitaclass.com/bhagavad-gita-chapter-13-text-08-12" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><img class="aligncenter" src="http://www.gitadaily.com/wp-content/images/Bhagavad-Gita-Chapter-13-Text-08.jpg" alt="" width="610" height="442" data-unique-identifier=""></a></p> <p>To know more about this verse, please click on the image</p> </div> </td> </tr> <tr> <td style="margin-bottom:0;line-height:1.4em;"> <p style="margin:1em 0 3px 0;"> <a name="3" style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:18px;" href="https://gitadaily.com/how-to-deal-with-differences-of-opinion/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=email">How to deal with differences of opinion</a> </p> <p style="font-size:13px;color:#555;margin:9px 0 3px 0;font-family:Georgia,Helvetica,Arial,Sans-Serif;line-height:140%;font-size:13px;"> <span>Posted:</span> 13 Jul 2022 11:55 AM PDT </p> <div style="margin:0;font-family:Georgia,Helvetica,Arial,Sans-Serif;line-height:140%;font-size:13px;color:#000000;"><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">As each one of us humans is an irreducible individual, we all will have different backgrounds, experiences and perspectives. This will sooner or later lead to mutual differences of opinion. Generally, we learn to live with such differences; we consciously or unconsciously adopt the motto, "Live and let live."</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">However, such coexistence becomes difficult when the two sides see the differences of opinion differently. Suppose one side considers the difference super-important, whereas the other side considers the difference to be inconsequential. This second side doesn't get worked up about the difference, whereas the first side gets worked up about that difference — and gets even more worked up seeing that the other side is not at all worked up. The first side labels the second side insensitive, even monstrously insensitive. Incensed by such labeling, the second side labels the first side hypersensitive, even rabidly hypersensitive. And thus begins the wall of polarization that separates, scalds and scars both sides, making the lives of both miserable, even unlivable. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">How can this be avoided? Through empathy, The Bhagavad-gita (06.32) urges us to see the shared spirituality that can unify all of us; this implies that just as we take our first-person experience seriously, so do others take their first-person experience seriously. If the first side tries to understand why the other side doesn't consider the differences so serious and the second side tries to understand why the first side considers the differences so serious, both can come to a better mutual understanding, even if they don't come to mutual agreement on that issue. With that improved mutual understanding, they can connect with each other better and thereby learn how to live with their differences. </span></p> <p><b>One-sentence summary: </b></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Differences of opinions can be lived with; differences in opinion about the importance of those differences can make life unlivable. </span></p> <p><b>Think it over:</b></p> <ul> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Why are differences of opinion natural?</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">What happens when two sides differ about the importance of their mutual differences?</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">How can such a mismatch be addressed? </span></li> </ul> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">***</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">06.32: He is a perfect yogi who, by comparison to his own self, sees the true equality of all beings, in both their happiness and their distress, O Arjuna!</span></p> <p><a href="http://bhagavadgitaclass.com/bhagavad-gita-chapter-06-text-32" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><img class="aligncenter" src="http://www.gitadaily.com/wp-content/images/Bhagavad-Gita-Chapter-06-Text-32.jpg" alt="" width="610" height="442" data-unique-identifier=""></a></p> <p>To know more about this verse, please click on the image</p> </div> </td> </tr> </tbody></table> <table id="footer" style="border-top:1px solid #999;padding-top:4px;margin-top:1.5em;width:100%" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <tbody><tr> <td style="text-align:left;font-family:Helvetica,Arial,Sans-Serif;font-size:11px;margin:0 6px 1.2em 0;color:#333;">You are subscribed to email updates from <a href="https://gitadaily.com">Chaitanya Charan Das, Bhagavad Gita ISKCON</a>. <br> To stop receiving these emails, you may <a href="https://feedburner.google.com/fb/a/mailunsubscribe?k=QlYfS4clrJ3y7kactWVqvTu-okM">unsubscribe now</a>.</td><td style="font-family:Helvetica,Arial,Sans-Serif;font-size:11px;margin:0 6px 1.2em 0;color:#333;text-align:right;vertical-align:top">Email delivery powered by Google</td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2" style="text-align:left;font-family:Helvetica,Arial,Sans-Serif;font-size:11px;margin:0 6px 1.2em 0;color:#333;">Inbox too full? <a href="https://gitadaily.com/feed/"><img src="https://feedburner.google.com/fb/images/pub/feed-icon16x16.png" style="vertical-align:middle" alt="(feed)" data-unique-identifier=""></a> <a href="https://gitadaily.com/feed/">Subscribe</a> to the feed version of Chaitanya Charan Das, Bhagavad Gita ISKCON in a feed reader.</td> </tr> <tr> <td style="text-align:left;font-family:Helvetica,Arial,Sans-Serif;font-size:11px;margin:0 6px 1.2em 0;color:#333;" colspan="2">Google, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, United States</td> </tr> </tbody></table> </div> </div></blockquote>dineshhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14397582456075071651noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8193729385019696945.post-17058637185184889862022-01-01T07:25:00.002+05:302022-01-01T07:25:49.770+05:30The Bliss of sharing Krishna consciousness From Ananta Vrindavan: Dear devotees, here is my most recent production - a short video of Srila Gurudeva sharing Krsna consciousness with others around the world.

Actions, thoughts pertaining to Krsna is like vaccine which keeps us immune to the modes of nature. Rajo guna and tamo guna does more harm than the viruses in

14px;line-height: 150%;text-align: left;">Love is the foundation of everything. It is not like a sentimental wet blanket. Sometimes, we hear of impersonalists speak about the cosmic love and how one has to connect to that cosmic love, that all this cosmic loving energy is all-pervading and if one simply connects to it then they will also become like an instrument of that love. That is the impersonal loving energy, like a wet loving blanket. Love has nothing to do with that. Love is personal. And love means you have to do something to capture me if you want me to love you. Real love is based on conquering. We have to do something that is really dear to someone else if we want to conquer them. That is the basis of love, that is the basis of the spiritual world. Everyone is trying to do something extraordinary to conquer Krsna. And Krsna is conquered by all, but most by the devotee who gives the most, who does the most. Pure devotional service attracts Krsna and that is the secret of the spiritual world. And when we attract Krsna, then miracles start to happen, then we become uplifted above the mundane.</p> <div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter size-full is-resized" style="padding: 0; margin: 0;"><img loading="lazy" src="https://i1.wp.com/www.kksblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/161348701_303017474585836_4514689079025978619_n.jpg?resize=954%2C541&ssl=1" alt="" class="wp-image-81370 mcRssImage" width="954" srcset="https://i1.wp.com/www.kksblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/161348701_303017474585836_4514689079025978619_n.jpg?w=814&ssl=1 814w, https://i1.wp.com/www.kksblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/161348701_303017474585836_4514689079025978619_n.jpg?resize=300%2C170&ssl=1 300w, https://i1.wp.com/www.kksblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/161348701_303017474585836_4514689079025978619_n.jpg?resize=600%2C341&ssl=1 600w, https://i1.wp.com/www.kksblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/161348701_303017474585836_4514689079025978619_n.jpg?resize=768%2C436&ssl=1 768w, https://i1.wp.com/www.kksblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/161348701_303017474585836_4514689079025978619_n.jpg?resize=610%2C346&ssl=1 610w" sizes="(max-width: 954px) 100vw, 954px" data-recalc-dims="1" border="0" style="max-width: 100%;width: 100%;padding-bottom: 0;display: inline;vertical-align: bottom;border: 0;height: auto;outline: none;text-decoration: none;-ms-interpolation-mode: bicubic;" data-unique-identifier=""></figure></div> <span class="et_bloom_bottom_trigger"></span><p style="margin: 10px 0;padding: 0;mso-line-height-rule: exactly;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;color: #002626;font-family: 'Open Sans', 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;font-size: 14px;line-height: 150%;text-align: left;">The article " <a rel="nofollow" href="https://kksblog.us7.list-manage.com/track/click?u=1d9efe67cf671ff482e83aa00&id=a38ccf4ef5&e=3689a82ea7" style="mso-line-height-rule: exactly;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;color: #739d11;font-weight: normal;text-decoration: underline;">Love is based on conquering</a> " was published on <a rel="nofollow" href="https://kksblog.us7.list-manage.com/track/click?u=1d9efe67cf671ff482e83aa00&id=673b470959&e=3689a82ea7" style="mso-line-height-rule: exactly;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;color: #739d11;font-weight: normal;text-decoration: underline;">KKSBlog</a>.</p></td></tr></tbody></table></td></tr></tbody></table></td></tr><tr><td valign="top" id="templateFooter" style="background: #efe7da none no-repeat center/cover;mso-line-height-rule: exactly;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;background-color: #efe7da;background-image: none;background-repeat: no-repeat;background-position: center;background-size: cover;border-top: 0;border-bottom: 0;padding-top: 9px;padding-bottom: 9px;"></td></tr></tbody></table></td></tr></tbody></table></center></div></blockquote>dineshhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14397582456075071651noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8193729385019696945.post-64775111827864895302020-12-19T15:48:00.002+05:302020-12-19T15:48:17.956+05:30Position of a vaisnava<p> Photo and conversation from Hyderabad.</p><p>Pañcadraviḍa: So where will we get kṣatriyas and...?</p><p>Prabhupāda: That is in the śāstra. Anyone can learn it. Just like if you want to be doctor, so you must have this qualification. Similarly, these things are stated in the Bhagavad-gītā. Kṣatriya means if there is fight, he must go forward first of all, risking his life. That is kṣatriya.</p><p>Pañcadraviḍa: So we have men who could teach this? Do we have men...?</p><p><br /></p><p>Prabhupāda: Yes. (break) Because he knows how to teach. That's all.</p><p><br /></p><p>Pañcadraviḍa: The brāhmaṇas, they all become devotee... They would all be engaged in devotional life as...</p><p><br /></p><p>Prabhupāda: This is also devotion, to teach a kṣatriya, because this is necessary in the society. This is also devotion.</p><p><br /></p><p>Pañcadraviḍa: And vaiśyas?</p><p><br /></p><p>Prabhupāda: Just like when Kṛṣṇa is fighting. Kṛṣṇa is fighting, killing the demons. So that is also devotion, if you help Kṛṣṇa by killing demons, not that simply by chanting, you supply... Just like Bhismadeva. He even injured Kṛṣṇa, and Kṛṣṇa took it very pleasant. Instead of throwing flowers, he pierced His body with arrow. So everything for the service. If Kṛṣṇa is pleased being pierced by the arrow the devotee will do that. His only business is how to please Kṛṣṇa. Just like, the example is given by Viśvanātha Cakravartī that when a man kisses a woman and bites her, she becomes pleased. Is it not? Is not a fact that that biting is pleasing? Is it pleasing? But sometimes it is pleasing. So one has to learn where to bite and when to... (chuckles) But if a rascal thinks that "Biting is pleasing. I shall bite always," then he is a rascal. (laughter) (break) ...lying down on the Yamunā beach, on the sand with His friends. And if we think, "No, there is no need of bedding of Kṛṣṇa. He was lying down on the Yamunā beach, so He will lie down on the floor." So is... That conclusion is very nice?</p><p><br /></p><p>Mahāṁsa: No.</p><p><br /></p><p>Prabhupāda: So we must know how to please Kṛṣṇa. Generally, the śravaṇaṁ kīrtanaṁ viṣṇoḥ (SB 7.5.23), that is pleasing. Therefore these rules and regulation for everyone. But when one becomes mature devotee, he knows how to please Kṛṣṇa. He knows.</p><p><br /></p><p>Nitāi: One question came up the other day when I was talking with this clergyman.</p><p><br /></p><p>Prabhupāda: Clergyman?</p><p><br /></p><p>Nitāi: Yes, that man I was talking to was a clergyman.</p><p><br /></p><p>Prabhupāda: Where he was?</p><p><br /></p><p>Nitāi: He was on the airplane when we were coming here to Hyderabad. And he was asking what our program was. And I was telling him that first of all, in order to relieve the confusion of society, we wanted to establish the Vedic culture with this varṇāśrama system. And he asked me what would be the program that we would have for a man who works in the factory...</p><p><br /></p><p>Prabhupāda: He is a śūdra.</p><p><br /></p><p>Nitāi: Would we retrain him as a farmer?</p><p><br /></p><p>Prabhupāda: No, if he is prepared. If not, let him remain. But we can utilize that śūdra also.</p><p><br /></p><p>Nitāi: He can remain in the factory.</p><p><br /></p><p>Prabhupāda: Yes. But he cannot do the work of a brāhmaṇa. He cannot be trained as a preacher. But he can help. Just like my legs. The legs cannot do the work of brain, but it can help me. I am walking. So leg is as important as the brain. Similarly, śūdra is as important as the brāhmaṇa, provided he helps the movement, Kṛṣṇa conscious. That is wanted, not that artificially a śūdra should be working as a brāhmaṇa, no. But everyone should be engaged in Kṛṣṇa consciousness. That is required.</p><p><br /></p><p>Nitāi: So in that case he is a śūdra, and he is also doing the work of a...</p><p><br /></p><p>Prabhupāda: Then he is not a śūdra. One who is engaged in Kṛṣṇa's service, he is neither brāhmaṇa nor śūdra. He is devotee. He is brahma-bhūta (SB 4.30.20). Brahma-bhūyāya kalpate (BG 14.26). Apparently he looks like śūdra. Just like we have got so many men from different quarters, but we do not belong to that quarter any more. Vaiṣṇave jāti-buddhiḥ. Therefore anyone who takes, "Oh, here is an American Vaiṣṇava, here is an Indian Vaiṣṇava," that is nārakī. He is Vaiṣṇava. That understanding required.</p><p><br /></p><p>Mahāṁsa: Just like that devotee who was making garlands for Kṛṣṇa.</p><p><br /></p><p>Prabhupāda: Yes.</p><p><br /></p><p>Mahāṁsa: He is a devotee. He is not a śūdra making garlands.</p><p><br /></p><p>Prabhupāda: No. He is not a ordinary gardener.</p><p><br /></p><p>Pañcadraviḍa: Or that devotee who was making leaf bowls for worshiping the Ganges.</p><p><br /></p><p>Prabhupāda: Any engagement, any engagement for Kṛṣṇa, he is Vaiṣṇava. If he is under the guidance of his spiritual master and doing the business according to the direction, he is Vaiṣṇava. He is above all these.</p><p><br /></p><p>Pañcadraviḍa: A śūdra, if he is working, he cannot take brāhmaṇa initiation, but he can take hari-nāma, is that it?</p><p><br /></p><p>Prabhupāda: Just like sometimes our men, my devotee, they wash the cupboard. Does it mean he is a methar(?)? No. He can go to the Deity room also. He is not a methar(?) or sweeper. But sometimes we do that. So devotee is above all these consideration. But because there is management, they should appear as brāhmaṇa, as śūdra, as kṣatriya, like that.</p><p><br /></p><p>sa guṇān samatītyaitān</p><p>brahma-bhūyāya kalpate</p><p>māṁ ca vyabhicariṇi</p><p>bhakti-yogena yaḥ sevate</p><p>(BG 14.26)</p><p>A devotee, because he is working as a śūdra, he is not a śūdra; neither he is a brāhmaṇa. He is already in the spiritual platform. But for management we have to do that. One can do the śūdra's work nicely—let him be engaged in that way. Why he should imitate?</p><p><br /></p><p>Mahāṁsa: Does he get second initiation?</p><p><br /></p><p>Prabhupāda: Everything he will get.</p><p><br /></p><p>Mahāṁsa: He gets.</p><p><br /></p><p>Prabhupāda: Yes. Second initiation means recognized: "Now he has become fully competent Vaiṣṇava." Just like master is teaching the servant, "Now you give massage in this way, this way." But that does not mean he has become servant.</p><p><br /></p><p>Pañcadraviḍa: What if the person working as śūdra says, "I can do so much. I can...,"</p><p><br /></p><p>Prabhupāda: First of all, try to understand. A devotee is neither brāhmaṇa nor śūdra. He may act like a śūdra, but he is not śūdra. He may act like a brāhmaṇa; he is not brāhmaṇa. He is Vaiṣṇava. Just like gopīs. The gopīs, they are village cowherds women. They are, according to social construction, they are not very high class. They did not belong to the brāhmaṇa class. But their worship, method of worship, has been taken the highest. Ramyā kācid upāsanā vrajavadhū-vargeṇa. They were village girls, and practically their character was also not good. Because at dead of night they are going to Kṛṣṇa. But why they have been taken as the most topmost devotee of Kṛṣṇa? Because the love was so high class. It is the test, how much one has learned to love Kṛṣṇa. That is wanted. Apparently he may appear as a brāhmaṇa, a śūdra or vaiśya. It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter. The only business is to see: sa vai puṁsāṁ paro dharmo yato bhaktir adho... (SB 1.2.6). Aiye. Hare Kṛṣṇa. Jaya. That is wanted.</p><p><br /></p><p>https://vaniquotes.org/wiki/A_sudra,_if_he_is_working,_he_cannot_take_brahmana_initiation,_but_he_can_take_hari-nama,_is_that_it%3F</p>dineshhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14397582456075071651noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8193729385019696945.post-25802129717029191982020-12-19T15:35:00.000+05:302020-12-19T15:35:04.588+05:30See Kṛṣṇa face to face<p><br /></p><p>Devotees who are always absorbed in thoughts of Kṛṣṇa will soon see Kṛṣṇa face to face without a doubt. In other words, devotees who are always engaged in Kṛṣṇa consciousness and are fully absorbed in thoughts of Kṛṣṇa certainly return home, back to Godhead. They then see Kṛṣṇa directly, face to face, talk with Him and enjoy His company. This is confirmed in the Bhagavad-gītā (4.9): tyaktvā dehaṁ punar janma naiti mām eti so ’rjuna. (Caitanya-caritāmṛta, Madhya-līlā 13.115)</p><p><br /></p><p>Read more: https://vanipedia.org/wiki/Seeing_God_Face_to_Face_-_an_essential_subject#ixzz6h3o9Ynyx</p><p><br /></p><p>There are many instances of this in the revealed scriptures. Dhruva Mahārāja and Prahlāda Mahārāja and many other devotees were able to see the Personality of Godhead face to face apparently in the same body. This means that the quality of a devotee's body changes from material to transcendence. That is the opinion of the authorized Gosvāmīs via the authentic scriptures. (Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam 1.6.28)</p><p><br /></p><p>Just like the other day we held the Ratha-yātrā festival – chant and take prasādam. That’s all. Organize this all over the world. They will be saved. They will understand Krishna. Sevonmukhe hi jihvādau svayam… [Brs. 1.2.234]. Krishna will appear. You cannot see Krishna. That is not possible. You cannot order Krishna, “Please come, I want to see You.” No. But, when He is pleased with your service, He will come. “Yes, I am here. See Me.” That is the history. Just like Dhruva Maharaja. Dhruva Maharaja was meditating, and within six months, he saw Krishna, face to face. So everyone can see. Everyone will be able (to see Krishna), provided we utilize the tongue. Try to control the tongue and engage in it Krishna’s service.</p><p>[An excerpt from a lecture delivered on the Bhagavad Gita 1.10 in London on July 12, 1973]</p><p>https://harekrishnarevolution.wordpress.com/2016/02/10/you-can-see-krishna-face-to-face-through-your-tongue/</p><p><br /></p><p>Read more: https://vanipedia.org/wiki/Seeing_God_Face_to_Face_-_an_essential_subject#ixzz6h3nyLZ3j</p>dineshhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14397582456075071651noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8193729385019696945.post-62636110882281939582020-12-18T01:24:00.000+05:302020-12-18T01:24:00.835+05:30Diet Protocols<p> <cite class="fn" style="border: 0px; color: #222222; font-family: georgia, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><a class="url" href="http://www.vaidyamishra.com/" rel="external nofollow" style="border: 0px; color: #307338; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; transition: all 0.1s ease-in-out 0s; vertical-align: baseline;">Vaidya Mishra</a></cite><span style="color: #222222; font-family: georgia, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;"> </span><span class="says" style="border: 0px; color: #222222; font-family: georgia, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">says</span></p><div class="comment-header" style="border: 0px; color: #222222; font-family: georgia, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; margin: 0px; overflow: hidden; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><div class="comment-meta commentmetadata" style="border: 0px; margin: 0px 0px 0.75rem; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><a href="https://www.svayurveda.com/vadi-s-sva-lentil-dumplings-health/#comment-6728" style="border: 0px; color: #307338; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; transition: all 0.1s ease-in-out 0s; vertical-align: baseline;">May 22, 2014 at 9:39 AM</a></div></div><div class="comment-content" style="border: 0px; color: #222222; font-family: georgia, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><p style="border: 0px; margin: 0px 0px 1.5rem; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">In our SVA tradition we recommend the following:<br />Fruits:<br />In the early morning consume only stewed fruit because fruit is rich in soma (lunar energy) which is a cooling energy, and the morning time has more influence of lunar energy because the sun is still just starting on its journey. In SVA we also recommend raw fruits that are high in enzymes and that help support digestion and metabolism be consumed either after lunch or along with lunch – as long as you are not taking any yogurt or lassi with lunch. Some enzymatic fruits are: pineapple and papaya. Otherwise, fruits like apples, pears, apples, blueberries, and blackberries should be consumed 1 and a half hour after lunch. 3pm is a good time in general, if you’ve had your lunch around 12 or 12:30pm<br />Milk:<br />Boiled milk should be consumed with oatmeal or quinoa flakes for your breakfast. You can also have some milk before going to bed at night – have milk only at least a couple of hours after dinner, nor right after dinner, in case you have late dinner. Milk should always be boiled with a little bit of cardamom and cinnamon. Cinnamon helps sugar metabolism of the milk and cardamom helps digest the protein in the milk. If your physiology can handle it, you can add a small piece of fresh ginger – grated or whole.<br />Water:<br />Consumption of water during lunch depends on what you are eating. If you are eating bread or any other dry foods, then you need have to support your stomach by sipping some water during your meal. If you are having liquid food, like soups or lentils, it’s best to avoid drinking water during your meal. If you are consuming a lot of spices like green chilies, black pepper, or ginger, it’s best to always drink some water during your meal. In general, it is recommended that one have water one hour after the end of a meal because it can aid in the process of digestion – the digestive fire may need extra water for lubrication. Keep in mind that water consumption is based on each individual’s body type. Pitta body individuals, because they receive more agni or digestive fire, need more water. It is also based on the weather, if it is too hot, people tend to sweat more and therefore need more water. So, the golden rule is there is no specific one rule for everybody to follow…<br />As for your final question, yes, it is ok to cook in pressure cookers.</p></div>dineshhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14397582456075071651noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8193729385019696945.post-46165690896035060402020-12-18T01:23:00.000+05:302020-12-18T01:23:08.207+05:30Green Protein!<p> </p><div class="comment-header" style="border: 0px; color: #222222; font-family: georgia, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; margin: 0px; overflow: hidden; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><div class="comment-author vcard" style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><img alt="" class="avatar avatar-48 photo jetpack-lazy-image jetpack-lazy-image--handled" data-lazy-loaded="1" height="48" src="https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/6d664573c27297e4dfc6f9800ff0653f?s=48&r=g" srcset="https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/6d664573c27297e4dfc6f9800ff0653f?s=96&r=g 2x" style="border: 0px; float: left; height: auto; margin: 0px 1rem 1.5rem 0px; max-width: 100%; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;" width="48" /><cite class="fn" style="border: 0px; font-style: normal; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><a class="url" href="http://www.vaidyamishra.com/" rel="external nofollow" style="border: 0px; color: #307338; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; transition: all 0.1s ease-in-out 0s; vertical-align: baseline;">Vaidya Mishra</a></cite> <span class="says" style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">says</span></div><div class="comment-meta commentmetadata" style="border: 0px; margin: 0px 0px 0.75rem; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><a href="https://www.svayurveda.com/vadi-s-sva-lentil-dumplings-health/#comment-6126" style="border: 0px; color: #307338; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; transition: all 0.1s ease-in-out 0s; vertical-align: baseline;">May 12, 2014 at 9:05 AM</a></div></div><div class="comment-content" style="border: 0px; color: #222222; font-family: georgia, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><p style="border: 0px; margin: 0px 0px 1.5rem; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Green Protein!<br />It’s delicious, it’s quick, it’s nourishing, and kids will love it – young and old! It’s Vaidya’s magical SVA recipe, a powerhouse of protein and iron. You can use any leafy greens: baby spinach leaves, collard greens, Swiss chard, dinosaur or purple kale. Steer away from mustard greens as they tend to be a little heating and pitta aggravating. Recipe:<br />80% weight by weight leafy greens<br />20% weight by weight fresh cheese (paneer) 1/4 cup spring water<br />1/2 tsp Mum’s Masala<br />1/2 tsp Mum’s Ghee<br />1/4 tsp Soma Salt<br />Fresh Thai Chilli (optional)<br />Fresh ginger 2 slices (optional)<br />1/4 tsp Olive oil Add the ghee to your pan, along with the Mum’s Masala (and chili and ginger if you are using these). Add the paneer chunks and sauté for a couple of minutes. Remove stems (may keep some) from your greens. You can mix Swiss chard, collard greens, purple or dinosaur kale. Add also a few sprigs of flat Italian parsley (curly will also do if you can’t find the flat). Chop everything roughly. Add to your paneer pan and add some water. Cover the top and cook for only as long as it takes (depending on how much greens you put) to allow the greens to turn bright green in color). Remove from the stove and put everything into your blender. Add a little water and blend to a perfect smooth texture (you may add more water as needed). Hot water is recommended, but room temperature will also do. When you are ready to serve, squirt some fresh lime on top and mix it in. Enjoy your protein!</p><p style="border: 0px; margin: 0px 0px 1.5rem; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Courtesy: https://www.svayurveda.com/vadi-s-sva-lentil-dumplings-health/</p></div>dineshhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14397582456075071651noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8193729385019696945.post-54426019782964605782020-11-04T23:24:00.001+05:302020-11-04T23:24:23.853+05:30Dedicating every moment<p> <strong style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%; border: 0px; caret-color: rgb(0, 38, 38); color: #002626; font-family: inherit; font-size: 16px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">(Kadamba Kanana Swami, 1 August 2020, Radhadesh, Belgium, Initiation Ceremony Lecture)</strong></p><p style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%; border: 0px; caret-color: rgb(0, 38, 38); color: #002626; font-family: "Open Sans", Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; margin: 0px 0px 1.857em; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><em style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Uttama-adhikari </em>is living in a close relationship with Krsna.

All glories to Srila Prabhupada and Srila Gurudeva.</p><p>In the recent offering titled, "Offer All Respect to Others" HG Sudarshana devi dasi mataji mentioned about the importance of respectful dealings with everyone and how we should never behave in a way belittling others in any way. In Srimad Bhagavatam 5.5.26 Lord Rshabhadeva gives the following instruction to His sons. </p><p class="text-align-center" style="text-align: center;"><em>sarvāṇi mad-dhiṣṇyatayā bhavadbhiś<br />carāṇi bhūtāni sutā dhruvāṇi<br />sambhāvitavyāni pade pade vo<br />vivikta-dṛgbhis tad u hārhaṇaṁ me</em></p><p><strong>My dear sons, you should not envy any living entity—be he moving or nonmoving. <u>Knowing that I am situated in them, you should offer respect to all of them at every moment. In this way, you offer respect to Me</u>.</strong> </p><p>In the synonyms, we find that Srila Prabhupada writes <em>vivikta-dṛgbhis</em> means possessing clear vision and understanding that the Supreme Personality of Godhead in His Paramatma feature is situated everywhere. In the purport he writes, "<em>According to the Vedic statement: īśāvāsyam idaṁ sarvam [Ishopanishad mantra 1]. <strong>The Supreme Lord is situated everywhere, and wherever He is situated is His temple. We even offer respects to a temple from a distant place, and all living entities should similarly be offered respect</strong></em><strong>.</strong>" </p><p>In the granthraj offering, mataji had referred how Saubhari muni failed to pay respects to Garuda who is a direct servitor of the Supreme Lord. Instead in the name of being compassionate to the fishes, he cursed Garuda. There is a beautiful incident in which we see the respectful dealing by Garuda. Garuda’s mother Vinata has been enslaved by Kadru, the latter having resorted to deception, to make Vinata her slave. Kadru stipulated that the only way for Vinata to be liberated is for Garuda to get the pot of nectar which Indra keeps in his kingdom. The nectar is safeguarded carefully by Indra. But Garuda deals with all the barriers easily, and also defeats every celestial who stands in his way. </p><p>Indra, observing Garuda flying with great speed, hurled his Vajra weapon towards the bird. Garuda, despite being struck with the weapon, smiled and told Indra in polite words, “<em>O King of the Devas, I respect the rishi (Dadhici) from whose backbone this Vajra weapon was made; I respect you too. To honour this, I will shed a single feather. But know that I have not felt any pain due to this weapon</em>”. Saying this Garuda dropped a single feather. Beholding this act and seeing the beautiful feather, all the creatures became excited, and said, “Let this bird of beautiful feather be called ‘Suparna’ (one of fair feathers)” We see that the Lord declares in Srimad Bhagavad gIta 10.28 - “<em>āyudhānām ahaṁ vajraṁ </em>- <strong>Of weapons I am the thunderbolt</strong>.” This is the respect, the Lord has for the weapon, considering the ultimate sacrifice of sage Dadhici. Reminded of this, we see that Garuda offers his honor and respect for the weapon which represents the great sage.</p><p>Krishna willing we shall try to see few more examples from scriptures which reveal to us the importance of respecting everyone.</p><p>Thank you very much.<br />Yours in service of Srila Prabhupada and Srila Gurudev,<br />Vaijayantimala devi dasi<br />Chennai</p></div>dineshhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14397582456075071651noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8193729385019696945.post-15321287111949303882020-04-29T19:23:00.000+05:302020-04-29T19:24:00.865+05:30Developing strength in chanting<div dir="ltr"><div><object><table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" style="border-collapse: collapse; direction: ltr"> <tbody> <tr><td valign="top" style="border-style: solid; border-width: 1.0px 1.0px 1.0px 1.0px; border-color: #ccc; padding: 3.0px 5.0px 3.0px 5.0px; min-width: 70px"><div><b><font color="#E4AF0A"><span style="font-size: 21px">Developing strength in chanting</span></font></b><b><span style="font-size: 21px"><br></span></b></div> <div><i>By KKSBlog on Apr 28, 2020 01:23 pm</i><br></div> <div><br></div> <div><b>(Kadamba Kanana Swami, 23 August 2019, Ljubljana, Slovenia, Janmashtami Lecture)</b><br></div> <div>When we feel that we have no taste for chanting and when we think to ourselves, "<i>Oh I have no desire to chant sixteen rounds… it is taking such a long time and it is appearing to me as boring</i>", this is because we have no remembrance of Krsna.

Only working for Krsna is also not easy because after a little while, we start to experience that working for Krsna can be a burden. It may also not work. So, we must hear because without hearing, life is dry.</div>

I have a phone like most modern people and my contract was up so I could get a new phone. <i>“Oh my God! What do I do? Now I have to have a new phone. Oh no!” </i>Actually, I liked my old phone… it was okay… it did the job.</div>
<div class="p1" style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal;">
Then I found out that I did not have to get a new phone… it was not required. I could just go on with my old phone… it was fine as there was no rule against that. I did and then I put in a bigger memory card in the old phone and more lectures of Srila Prabhupada and now I’m so happy! I’m so happy, not because of the phone, but because of the lectures of Srila Prahbupada and that I have access to these things. So, as we live in a modern world, we are also using material objects to help us remember Krsna. Now that is needed, everyone has to make that kind of arrangement otherwise when will we hear?</div>

<i>Sābde – </i>transcendental sound is essential; as essential as bathing. Anyone who didn’t take a bath today? Some people take a bath once a month, yes that is possible but of course, after a while, it becomes noticeable. So, in the same way, the sound <i>śābde pare ca niṣṇātam.</i></div>
<div class="p1" style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal;">
<i>Niṣṇātaṁ –</i> referring to <i>ṣṇā </i>or taking baths. One should bathe in transcendental sound, <i>śābde pare ca niṣṇātaṁ, </i>again and again, because the consciousness also again and again tends to absorb material contamination.</div>
<div class="p1" style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal;">
Srila Prabhupada instituted the festivals in Mayapur and Vrndavan, and he said that devotees should go once a year to that festival. That was the idea so that they would become purified from all the contamination that inadvertently crept in.</div>
<div class="p1" style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal;">
That is an interesting topic <i>Contamination that inadvertently creeps in. </i>What about that!? Yes, it’s absolutely going to happen to any good practitioner of <i>bhakti.</i> To the <i>sadhaka, </i>it’s going to happen. Only the liberated soul cannot be touched by the material energy, but everyone else will become touched by the material energy. So many impressions go into the consciousness – what we see and what we hear!</div>

Hare Krishna Prabhujis and Matajis,<br />Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada and Srila Gurudeva.<br />
This is in continuation of the transcription of class given by our beloved spiritual master HH Mahavishnu Goswami Maharaj in Singapore on how important it is to lead a simple life. In the previous offering we heard from Maharaj as to how according to our karmas and desires, Krishna awards our next birth. Maharaj was referring to a devotee from Switzerland who had been born in aristocratic family and had later left home in search of real happiness. By Krishna's grace he met devotees and had got Prabhupada's Gita and found that it had the answer for all his questions.<br />
(Referring to that devotee Maharaj continued) This boy has completely washed off his hands from the material activities. So there is no way that he can survive in the material world. There is no need of going there. So he can very nicely set up, settle somewhere in our biggest community. This is the main thing. At least we should start as soon as possible. And we are also thrown into this country, whether migrated or your forefathers might have migrated. Why? There are so many living entities who are getting rotten in India. Just for earning bread. Butter, they don’t know. Only bread - they have to work 12-14 hours and travelling 3 hours each way. 6 hours again. And half dead he comes in the house. And again he goes away like a dog in the morning in search of food. I mean to say to earn the food. This is the condition of the average family in India. What to speak of the poorest family? It is very difficult to survive. Kali yuga is very acute because we are losing our piety. And because we are losing our piety, Krishna is making so many things completely difficult for us to obtain.<br />
We people are lucky that you are thrown to Singapore and here the things are completely different from that side of Bay of Bengal. This is our luck.<strong><em> And if you don't utilize your human time, in remembering the Supreme Absolute Truth Krishna, then how long does He take to withdraw everything from you. He has thousands of hands. He can withdraw within no time. Thinking all these things, we should come that we should not unnecessarily increase our necessities. This increasing the necessities is putting us into the vicious circle of birth, death, disease and old age. If you decrease your necessities, then you win</em></strong>. Then you win.<br />
In our limited atmosphere, now we cannot do without the lights. These lights are very bad. But even then, it is a must now. We cannot have a house without light. We remember that we were renting the houses or buying the houses. And as soon as we rented the house, nothing else was to be done. We just order the coal bag, and one coal stove and some grocery and we move into the house. That's all. Now you rent the house or you buy the house, and first beds, carpet, refrigerator, TV. He is killed before he goes to the house (laughter). And then he falls down half dead there and TV is going on (laughter) and he doesn't know what is going on, because he is completely finished before he moves into his house. This is increasing the necessities. <strong><em>The necessities which are not required for our life, should be completely decreased.</em></strong><br />
Krishna willing we shall try to hear more nectar from Maharaj in the subsequent offering.<br />

Hare Krishna Prabhujis and Matajis,<br />Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada and Srila Gurudeva.<br />
The following is humble effort to transcribe the nectarean class given by our beloved spiritual master HH Mahavishnu Goswami Maharaj in Singapore on how important it is to lead a simple life.<br />
<strong>Maharaj: </strong>(Referring to bad tendency of taking fizzy drinks or intoxicating drinks Maharaj says..) Krishna will fulfill your desire. He says, "I will give the next body in which you always drink dirty water." And he gives us the hogs body and you sleep in the gutter and whatever comes, 'popopopop..' Nice dirty water comes you know. Because that body likes the dirty water. This is the effect of our karmas. <strong><em>If your karmas are pious, in the sense that you are attracted to the complete perfect whole Krishna, then you will have a bit of chance to have the human body born in śucīnāṁ śrīmatāṁ gehe.</em></strong> (BG 6.41) <em>śucīnāṁ</em> means saintly family. <em>śrīmatāṁ</em> means rich family or you stand chance to get so much wealth, so that you become completely satisfied and then you don’t have to worry. You don’t have to toil and moil for earning the wealth. You have already bread and butter is there and then fortunately you come across again Krishna somewhere and you catch Him.<br />
(Referring to couple of devotees Maharaj said) This boy is from, these two boys from Switzerland they are travelling and he told me today that from the childhood, he always likes to stay in the forest. He was asking his mother that, 'give me some best thing, give me better than this, I don’t want this, to work like this.' So his mother said that I don’t have any better thing. You try to find out yourself. So he is moving around since then. And somehow or the other, he came to, they came to Malaysia. And he found. He had a Bhagavad gita somehow or the other. He was studying Bhagavad Gita. He thought that this is quite nice. This is living example in front of us. <strong><em>These boys, they were attracted to Krishna, because they had performed the devotional service in the previous life.</em></strong> Otherwise why should he search?. He knew that he is searching for something. but He didn’t know that he is searching for Krishna. But Krishna has His own arrangement. When He found out that this soul is inquisitive, so He gave his birth in the country in Switzerland. And I heard about Switzerland that if you don't work, even then you get 90,000 Rs per month from the government. Isn't it? Switzerland is a very rich country. You don’t work, even then you get 100,000 nearly per month. Best to go to Switzerland Harry and I will also come as a guru. (laughter) You tell that I cannot survive without my guru and we will both go and at least 2,00,000 Rs. per month. (laughter). The richest country they were born. This is the living example that if the sadhana is incomplete, then you get the human birth, in the rich family or saintly family or saintly and rich. This is how. These boys were thrown into the richest country. And because, they should not worry about the money, so they are moving about and trying to find out what they want. And somehow or the other now he is satisfied that he has got the thing. Now it depends how to organize the life and how to live.<br />
Krishna willing we shall try to hear more nectar from Maharaj in the subsequent offering.<br />

<div class="p1">
<span style="font-size: small;">Duryodhana was working very hard to win people over to his side and he was successful in some cases. Some <i>karmi </i>leaders were coming along with their armies and they were being received very nicely. They thought that they were going to fight for Yudhisthira and Yudhisthira made all such arrangements for them, but it turned out that it was Duryodhana. So then they felt so indebted, that they instead fought on Duryodhana’s side.</span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-size: small;">He tried to do the same with Krsna. When Krsna was coming as the messenger of the Pandavas, Duryodhana arranged a wonderful palace for Him to stay. And when Krsna came, He was offered an extraordinary treatment, a wonderful palace and a great reception. Then Krsna simply said, “<i>No, I will never stay in the house of one who is envious of the Pandavas.</i>” He refused whatever was offered by Duryodhana. Instead, He went to stay with Vidhura, which was something that even Vidhura did not expect. Vidhura was a <i>dasi putra</i> – he was not really a prince in that sense. He was certainly a son of the king, but with a maidservant. And therefore, although he was treated respectfully within the kingdom, he was not in a royal position and was also considered as a <i>sudra</i>.</span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-size: small;">So first of all, to stay with Vidhura was considered a bit awkward and second of all, Vidhura was not prepared whatsoever. At this time, all that Vidhura could arrange to offer Krsna were bananas. Then as his wife got the bananas ready, Vidhura offered the peels instead of the bananas. He was so overwhelmed by love of God, that he was so ecstatic, “<i>Krsna is in my house!</i>“, that he was grabbing the peels instead of the bananas. This of course shows why Krsna chose to stay in the house of Vidhura. So in this way, we appreciate that Krsna is purchased by love.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;"><b>Question:</b> When it comes to stumbling blocks in spiritual progress, with things like lust, pride and disturbances of the mind, I can clearly see them coming or even realise that they are there. Yet still they remain in my mind and I realise that by simple knowledge and awareness, they do not disappear. How do I deal with this, noting that we are conditioned and are aware of it, but we still continue to be conditioned by it?</span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;">Krsna says that He will take away all the impurities! We cannot take them away ourselves. It means </span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">we have to surrender to Krsna’s system of devotional service as it is passed down by the disciplic succession, and then Krsna will take away our impurities gradually. That is how it works. So if we are confronted by our own impurities, and we cannot put them aside with our knowledge, then this means that Krsna wants us to increase the quality and quantity of our devotional service!</span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;">In the tenth chapter of Bhagavad-gita, <i>ahaà sarvasya prabhavo mattaù sarvaà pravartate (Bhagavad-gita 10.8)</i>, we can see that <b>Krsna is the origin of all that is spiritual and all that is material</b>, and the wise who notice this, they perfectly worship Him with love.

He is the Supreme, the topmost personality, all powerful, all beautiful, all perfect, yet He takes interest in insignificant creatures like us. He specifically notices our individual existence and that is something special. <b>Every living being means something to Krsna and thus Krsna takes a personal interest in every single living being.</b> That is something extraordinary! <i>Suhrdam sarva dehinam (bhutanam) (Bhagavad-gita 5.29)</i> – heartfelt <i>suhrdam</i>, heartfelt friend and well-wisher of every living being. So to think about that, that is the most amazing thing! And I meditate on things like this and can only imagine how kind Krsna really is. In this way, we can appreciate Krsna consciousness and when we leave this temple, we can look everything we see with a fresh perspective because we can see how Krsna is actually manifesting all these things for us and how He is behind everything. <b>Everything is simply an arrangement of His kindness; sometimes aimed to frustrate us and sometimes aimed to encourage us.</b> But nevertheless, it is all by His loving mercy. That is Krsna!</span></div>

<div class="p1">
Krsna is always showing us the next step in our spiritual lives. So if it is clear that the next step is that you should be doing more, then we should take that step. If you feel, “<i>Krsna is showing me that the next step is to develop love for him</i>“, then do it!</div>
<div class="p1">
You have these karate movies where the young karate character come out and makes all these moves and he is going really fast on all sides. But then an old Kung-Fu master comes out and does not make all these moves, but instead just has this one concentrated move. And then all of a sudden, everyone is flying in all directions and gets knocked out. <i>(laughter) </i>So in the beginning, we are like these young karate guys trying to run around, but we lack depth and we lack the real concentration and focus. We are trying to be busy for Krsna, trying to always chant, read and so on. But <b>what we really need to work on is to deepen ourselves through our relationships and go deeper in our commitment to Krsna. This is the beginning step and it helps us in making Krsna the real priority. After all, he is the Supreme!</b></div>
<div class="p1">
Nothing is really important except Krsna. We must truly understand this. Even in our relationships – our marriage, our friends and our families – if it does not help us go deeper in our relationship with Krsna, then what is the point of it!? Otherwise, we are just creating a beautiful illusion for ourselves, which is totally meaningless. If we are not trying to make our children Krsna conscious, then what is the point of having them? If we want to give our children Krsna consciousness, we cannot do it by dictation. We cannot do it by rules, “<i>You must do this. You must not do that.</i>” Such harshness will not work in the long run. Instead, <b>we must pass Krsna consciousness through inspiration, by setting an example.</b> Kids never do what you say, but they do what you do. So we must attempt to the best of our ability to be a devotee and conquer them with devotion; only then they will be amazing devotees.</div>
<div class="p1">
If somebody has nice qualities, it impresses us. A thousand lessons from a book about moral behaviour would not work as much as the impressions from an inspiring person would. Relationships are a big thing! So <b>if you are looking to engage in relationships and starting a family, you have to aspire to be spiritually advanced. </b></div>

<b><span style="font-size: small;">(Kadamba Kanana Swami, 08 March 2015, Stockholm, Sweden, Srimad Bhagavatam 3.1.4)</span></b></div>
<div class="p1">
<b><span style="font-size: small;">Transcribed by Nama-rupa dd</span></b></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-size: small;"><b>Question</b>: Guru Maharaj, you mentioned that in the material world, there is no love. I am thinking about friendship, is there friendship in this material world and what is the nature of friendship?</span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span style="font-size: small;"><a href="https://www.kksblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/kingsday_2015.jpg"></a><br /></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-size: small;">Love, friendship, society, togetherness, one-for-all and all-for-one, does not exist. Kavi Karnapura describes friendship in the Caitanya Candrodaya Nataka and he points out that for friendship to exist, there is a need for certain conditions to be met.</span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-size: small;">First, one has to receive the mercy of the Lord so that he gets in touch with transcendental knowledge, <i>Krsna-prasade paya bhakti-lata-bija</i> (Caitanya Caritamrta Madhya 19.151). You have to get in contact with devotees otherwise where else is there real friendship!?</span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-size: small;">Materialistic friendship is always mixed with some material motive, some personal motive so real friendship must be based on receiving the mercy of the Lord. When you receive the mercy of the Lord then you come into the association of devotees and attachment to devotees must develop, and from being in that association, gradually you evolve.</span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-size: small;">Then Kavi Karnapura explains the next level that you get – it is the level of thoughtfulness and discrimination. You begin to kind of reflect on the meaning of life and in that way, you mature as a person and you don’t just respond with outbursts and this and that. NO! You respond more thoughtfully and in a deeper way. Then you get to the non-envious platform.</span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-size: small;">After this thoughtfulness and discrimination becomes strong, in the association of devotees, then you get equanimity – a state of mind which becomes balanced. You become balanced in the mind. At that state, you can realize non-envy and it says that then you can actually be a friend. Then friendship is possible!</span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-size: small;">Kavi Karnapura explains it like that. So it is interesting; he gives conditions before real friendship can develop and to the degree that these conditions are not met, to that degree we are lacking in friendship.</span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-size: small;">Sometimes even when you are married, you wonder, “<i>Is this person actually my friend?</i>” You are married but you are wondering, “<i>Are we friends? Are we at least friends? What to speak of love! I mean friends! Is this person actually my friend, through-and-through, you know, through thick and thin… Is this person really my well-wisher??</i>”</span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span style="font-size: small;"><a href="https://www.kksblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/kirtan-mela-mauritius-33.jpg"></a><br /></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-size: small;">There are different Sanskrit definitions for friendship. <i>Maitri</i> is a word used which is more general. Another word that is used is <i>suhrit</i>, close to the heart. That gives a higher aspect, very intimate. So among <i>vaishnavas</i>, it must become like that.</span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-size: small;">But before we can have friendships, we have to go through these stages: we need the mercy of the Lord, we need to develop attachment to serving the devotees, and we need to be with devotees in proper etiquette. Then we become thoughtful and then we get discrimination from these devotees.</span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-size: small;">In this verse (Srimad Bhagavatam 3.1.4), it says <i>sadhu-vada</i>, things approved by the learned circles, so that we understand what is approved by saints and sages and then it becomes our second nature. It is happening. Like certain foodstuffs are obviously not approved by saints and sages, and we don’t even think of touching them. We don’t have to tell ourselves, it becomes a part of our second nature.</span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-size: small;">So this discrimination and thoughtfulness becomes a part of our nature, and when we have absorbed it to that extent then you have non-envy and equanimity, a balanced state of mind. Then, you can be a friend all the time!</span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-size: small;">Like that, friendship takes some time. When you are dealing with someone under the modes of nature, today he is your friend and tomorrow not so much because tomorrow he is the friend of his mind. Tomorrow he is controlled by his senses, tomorrow he is riding on the back of that inner boar and then he is maybe not your friend.</span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-size: small;">When I had a Vedic marriage, it was done by Bhavananda and he made us promise, he said to me, “<i>You must always bring your wife to devotional service, to Krsna.</i>” And he said to her, “<i>But when he deviates then you become like a lion, like a tiger and you just somehow or other pull him back.</i>” So that was something I remembered.</span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-size: small;">So friendship also means that with our weaknesses, we are still trying to help each other and that is nice but Kavi Karnapura takes it to a higher level for friendship to really flourish.</span></div>

<div class="p2">
<a href="https://www.kksblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/07/KKS_friendship.jpg"></a><br /></div>
<div class="p1">
In a small temple, with predominately congregational devotees – that means devotees who are maintaining a life outside the temple and who have limited time and energy – I think we should appreciate the time spent together and maintain relationships. Because especially in a congregational gathering, more than ever, we need friendship. You know, it is like if you have a little military army living in a temple and all are on a mission. Even if there is no such friendship, still all are together in the same mission. But when you do not have that kind of driving energy then the only reason to come together is for friendship. So that is a big challenge but I think that is the key.</div>
<div class="p1">
Like, we are here tonight, at somebody’s house and that is very nice, that is how it should be. If devotees have not been in your house for a while then you must start thinking about it and arrange for them to come. Even if your house is small, it does not matter – squeeze in somehow or other – because bonding is important. So we need to stay close and in an congregational setting, friendship is a big element, if you want to be with people. If you do not really want to be with them then you are not going to be with them. In the temple, whether you want to be together or not, you have to be for <i>mangala aarti</i>. But in a congregation, if you do not want to be together then why would you be? You only go to programs that you want to.</div>
<div class="p1">
In friendship, you have to conquer people, do something to win them over. You have to do something that touches their heart, and then we have real friendships. <b>Friendship can never be taken for granted and it is not cheap</b>, but that is what we need. I guess, you can say big things about friendship but you can also make it very simple. In one way, a very simple approach is to not give each other a hard time – sort of, make it easy for each other and it counts for everybody, even at home! You know, friendship begins at home, if we just sort of try and make it easy for each other, that would help.</div>
<div class="p1">
<b><i>Devotee:</i></b><i> Maharaj, does that not defeat the high thinking society ideal?</i></div>
<div class="p1">
It depends on what you call easy. I did not mean that we should lose the purity but we should accommodate each other a lot and be sensitive to each other’s needs, that is what I meant. Making it easy for each other means that we should think of everybody’s needs, and not just of our own, then that creates friendship. So we try to think of the needs of others.</div>
