A few days in Sweden Posted: 16 Jun 2011 12:34 PM PDT The day after London Ratha Yatra, Maharaja flew to Stockholm, Sweden. It was Pani Hati Maha Mahotsava, and Maharaja gave the evening class describing the pastime which took place over 500 years ago upon the instruction of Nityananda Prabhu to Raghunatha Dasa Goswami. In the days that followed, Maharaja gave morning Bhagavatam classes at the nearby BBT headquarters of north-east Europe. The classes dealt with the departure of Bhismadeva and Maharaja narrated inspiring stories from the Mahabharata in glorification of him. In the evening, Maharaja gave classes at the Stockholm temple. The Swedish devotees received Maharaja in a very sweet way and each time he left the temple, they accompanied him to the car with a Harinama. During our last day in Sweden, Maharaja and some of his disciples met to perform some wonderful bhajanas outside the temple, enjoying the wonderful weather and the chanting of the holy name. In this way, it was a very pleasant and inspiring stay. If you want to listen to the lectures that Maharaja gave during his stay in Sweden, please visit the website of the Stockholm temple!   If you cannot view the slideshow below, please visit flickr. Here are also some aditional pictures, taken by Nama Rupa Mataji. Please view them on picasa!

Love vs Lust Posted: 16 Jun 2011 12:37 AM PDT Kadamba Kanana Swami (Croatia, August 2010) Question: Can you define lust? If we serve our own senses, then it's called lust but if we serve the senses of Krsna, then it's called love. So love is about giving and satisfying others and lust is about satisfying ourselves. So when we are the centre in every situation… we are the centre of the universe… we are the main person here and everybody must be pleasing to us… and if somebody is not pleasing to us causes a disturbance – that's all lust. But if we are trying to be pleasing to others… if the others are more important and we are trying to act in such a way that they will become pleased and happy…then we are free from lust. As soon as we think that others are there to please us then we are LUSTY. And from one level of lust comes intense lust and then we want to enjoy on the bodily platform. We have to serve the senses of Krsna and His devotees… everyone is a devotee of Krsna, only some know it and others don't.

Preaching at Melbourne Town Hall

Preaching at Melbourne Town Hall

The hall was now packed to capacity; close to 2,000 people had
responded favourably to the devotees' advertising. It was quite a
mixed audience: young men in denims, kaftans, tie-dyed shirts and
beads, girls in Indian cheesecloth skirts and crushed velvet jackets,
academics, students, housewives, men with shoulder-length hair and
polo-necked sweaters, and older Theosophical Society types.

The vast hall was quiet with expectation as Srila Prabhupada put on
his dark-rimmed spectacles and closed his eyes: "Munayah sadhu prsto
'ham bhavadbhir loka-mangalam, yat krtah krsna-samprasno yenatma
suprasidati."

Srila Prabhupada had chosen to speak from verse 5 of the Second
Chapter of the Srimad-Bhagavatam entitled "Divinity and Divine
Service". Suta Gosvami addresses the sages at Naimisaranya who have
assembled and questioned him on the Absolute Truth:

"O sages, I have been justly questioned by you. Your questions are
worthy because they relate to Lord Krsna and so are of relevance to
the world's welfare. Only questions of this sort are capable of
completely satisfying the self."

Srila Prabhupada's voice was loud and strong. He stressed that the
Krsna consciousness movement was not a new or concocted thing -- it
was very old and authorised.

Prabhupada detailed the fragile condition of human life and the
troubles of birth, death, disease and old age. "When we are within the
womb of our mother, it is a very precarious condition. Any medical man
knows this. We have to live there in this way, in a packed-up bag,
practically without any air. Just imagine, if at this present moment
you were put into an airtight condition, you would die within three
minutes or three seconds. But in the womb of our mother, we have to
live for a clear ten months or more in that airtight, packed-up
condition. Just imagine how much troublesome this is! That is
practical. We may have forgotten -- so many things we have forgotten,
but that does not mean that the trouble was not there.

"Similarly, at the time of death the miserable condition is so acute,
that we have to give up this body, and sometimes when a man becomes
very much upset, he commits suicide; he cuts his own throat. Why? He
cannot live in this body. Similarly, I, you, every one of us,
experience trouble at the time of birth and at the time of death. We
are living entities, living souls. Birth and death take place in this
body. Death means sleeping for seven months. That's all. That is
death. When this body is unfit for living, the soul gives up this
body, and by superior arrangement the soul is again put into the womb
of a particular type of mother, where the soul develops that
particular type of body. So it is a great science, how the living soul
comes in contact with this material body, and how he is transmigrating
from one body to another."

Our particular body, Srila Prabhupada explained, had been given to us
for our particular type of standard of living. "Just like you
Australians, you have been given a particular standard of living."
Prabhupada referred to the conversation he had just had in the car on
the way to the Town Hall. "I was just speaking to my students. You
have been given the chance of a particular high standard of living.
Similarly, in India or in Africa or anywhere, the living entity has
got a particular type of body, with its particular type of standard of
living. A tiger has also got a particular standard of living, and also
an elephant .. And also in the higher planets, there are higher
beings, they also have a higher standard of living, and a vast
duration of life. This information is there in the Vedic literatures."

----

Suddenly, the audience became restless. The devotees looked to see a
tall bearded man striding confidently down the aisle towards the
microphone. A familiar sight around Melbourne, he was dressed as
Merlin the Magician, complete with pointed black hat adorned with
silver moon and stars, leotards and a flowing black cape. It was The
Wizard!

A deregistered sociology student, and somewhat of a
despot-cum-lunatic, he had been proclaimed the official wizard of the
University of New South Wales. Specialising in clever public word
jugglery and buffoonery, he claimed to be researching "Tension
Resolution Through Absurd Behaviour". The devotees had encountered The
Wizard on numerous occasions ever since they arrived in Melbourne. He
had sometimes attempted to publicly humiliate them in the City Square.
Although basically harmless, they found him at best a nuisance -- and
often an annoying disturbance.

Now his brash, uninhibited behaviour had led him to approach Srila
Prabhupada. The devotees wondered how Prabhupada would deal with him.

True to form, The Wizard took the microphone and, much to the outrage
of older members of the audience and to the delight of his hippy
following, spoke out in his usual loud, affected voice: "I would like
to ask his Divine Grace a question, or I'd like to phrase my thinking
at the moment. I know that I am a FOOL and a RASCAL, but I am thinking
'Am I the centre of the universe?' I think that I AM the centre of the
universe! I think I must prove it some time next year .."

He rambled on pompously, his voice rising dramatically, until Hanuman
Prasada Goswami unceremoniously wrenched the microphone from his hand.
Srila Prabhupada turned to Syamasundara, "What is he saying?"

"He says he's the centre of the universe, Srila Prabhupada."

The hall was quiet. Prabhupada smiled and spoke calmly into the
microphone. "So, everyone is thinking like that. Everyone has the
concept that 'I am the supreme enjoyer and everything is there for my
pleasure'. So you are not different from anyone else .. Actually,
Krsna is the Supreme Personality of Godhead, and He is the centre of
the universe, so your imitation will not last long."

The audience laughed, then stood up and applauded -- a standing
ovation, accompanied by whistles and cheers. Srila Prabhupada had
exposed him as just another materialistic fool. The Wizard had met his
match!

Prabhupada indicated for a kirtana to begin and soon the hall was
transformed by the combined sound of hundreds of voices chanting Hare
Krsna. Never before in Melbourne had so many people come together in
one spot to chant. The combined sound was tumultuous. Nanda Kumara's
drum roared, and cymbals clashed like a runaway locomotive. Devotees
and guests alike danced on stage, in the aisles and dress circles,
losing themselves in the ecstasy of harinama. Towards the end of the
kirtana, someone started throwing laddhus off the stage. The crowd
went wild, leaping for the sweets. Even after Prabhupada left the
stage, the chanting continued for a considerable time.

Wall,hand cuff,chain are used to keep the prisoners in jail. But nature is so perfectly designed that keeps the prisoners here by
beautiful women - Srila Prabhupad

Perfect Jail :)

                                      TRUST

"A man just got married and was returning home with his wife. They were crossing a lake in a boat when suddenly a great storm arose. The man was a warrior, but the woman became very much afraid because it seemed almost hopeless -- THE BOAT WAS SMALL AND THE STORM WAS REALLY HUGE, AND ANY MOMENT THEY WERE GOING TO BE DROWNED. But the man sat silently, calm and quiet, as if nothing was happening.

 

The woman was trembling and she said, "Are you not afraid? This may be our last moment of life! IT DOESN'T SEEM THAT WE WILL BE ABLE TO REACH THE OTHER SHORE. Only some miracle can save us, otherwise death is certain. Are you not afraid? Are you mad or something? Are you a stone or something?"

 

THE MAN LAUGHED AND TOOK THE SWORD OUT OF ITS SHEATH. The woman was even more puzzled -- what he is doing? Then he brought the naked sword close to the woman's neck -- so close that just a small gap was there, it was almost touching her neck.

 

He said, "ARE YOU AFRAID?"

 

She started to giggle and laugh and said, "WHY SHOULD I BE AFRAID? If the sword is in your hands, why should I be afraid? I know you love me."

 

He put the sword back and said, "This is my answer. I know God loves me, and the sword is in His hands, and the storm is in His hands -- so WHATSOEVER IS GOING TO HAPPEN IS GOING TO BE GOOD. If we survive, good; if we don't survive, good -- because EVERYTHING IS IN HIS HANDS, AND HE CANNOT DO ANYTHING WRONG."

 

This is the trust one needs to imbibe. SUCH TREMENDOUS TRUST IS CAPABLE OF TRANSFORMING YOUR WHOLE LIFE! And ONLY such tremendous trust is capable of transforming your life -- less than that won't do."
