[granthraj] Come to Your Senses - Part 1


 

Hare Krishna Prabhujis and Matajis,
Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada and Srila Gurudeva.

The following is a transcription of powerful instructive class given by our beloved spiritual master H H Mahavishnu Goswami Maharaj in Rajkot on 6th December 2005.

1. Don't neglect the scriptures: The instructions given in scriptures is Vedic seal. It is not just the teaching. It is a seal (protection). Otherwise Vedic people were not mad. These Mohammedans also have taken some principles from the Vedic culture and they are very strong about this. Even now, they are really very particular about these things. So, the agitation in the community is completely absent then. And, even then, the television, etc. all these things are agitating us. Continuous agitation is there. And how to save ourselves from this, is our great problem. And that way it becomes impossible if we don't control ourselves. You don't come to your senses; you are daily losing your celibacy. And then you try to concentrate on scriptures; there is no concentration. You can't chant; you can't do anything. You are just worse than animals. Animals have sex …may be monkeys have sex 30 times a day. But if he's had the sex he is agitated; otherwise he is not agitated. But we are less than a monkey. We are always agitated. Please don't do these things. And this is the most important thing to be followed. Nowadays our scriptures are neglected completely. Those scoundrels from West, they had unlimited sex. They don't stick to one wife. So those scoundrels told us that your scriptures are mythology. And we believed. They think that it is a concocted thing; it is not possible. Everything IS possible. Since last crores of years, millions of years, all our people are following these things. Why it is not possible now? Then we give the Kali Yuga excuse. It is not the excuse. It is just our convenience. We simply say,"Kali Yuga! What to do!" It is up to us whether to remain in Kali Yuga or to remain in Satya Yuga. You please don't blame others or the age. Don't be foolish to blame the age. It is very convenient for us to blame the age. Don't do it at all.

If you want to come to your senses, come under the roof of Prabhupada. If you don't want, get out and get destroyed. No mercy! Very strong. ye hi samsparsa-ja bhoga duḥkha-yonaya eva te. This touching sensation is the yoni – the womb of misery. From the womb, the janma is there. From the embryo, the living entity is produced. This is the embryo of miseries. The miseries are produced. duhkha-yonaya. You please study the scriptures. Our own words are there. yoni. These people can't understand yoni. Yoni means continuously it is born; the miseries are born – just touching sensation. This touching is very pleasing, but this sensation is producing duhkha-yoni. I want to sit here for all the day because it is very pleasing. Then, I lose walking. I lose the austerity. And then I can't stretch my legs, and I have arthritis, and that and this – because this touching sensation is there. Please, any touching sensation is the womb of the misery. It should be only taken for a limited purpose i.e. dharmaviruddho bhuteshu kamo 'smi bharatarshabha. Please study Bhagavad Gita. Kamah asmi, "That lust which is according to the regulative principles, I am", He says. That is Krishna. Otherwise, no. To produce a living entity, you don't even require five minutes. If Krishna is kind, within five minutes you can produce the living entity. And once the woman conceives, then again you should not unite again. Conception is there, the embryo will grow – that's it. That is kamo 'smi bharatrshabha. And this knowledge is completely absent in the general public. So, they run after here and there, because they don't have anything to do. There is no higher purpose in their life. Why are we ignoring these things! We are quite grown-up mature persons; why are we ignoring, man. If you don't get any wife, forget about it. That is good. Krishna decides for you not to have one. Please, but somehow or the other… the living entity is completely mad and doesn't understand.

Krishna willing, we shall continue to hear more nectar from Maharaj in the subsequent offerings.

Thank you very much.
Yours in service of Srila Prabhupada and Srila Gurudeva,
Bhupati Krishna das

Calves-reactions of our karma will find us, the mother of actions

Just as a calf can find his mother among thousands of cows, the reactions of our past karma will find us no matter where we are.

A Request To My dear Mother

Having left the service at Your lotus feet, I am perpetually suffering birth after birth foolishly going after mirage for water like an animal in the desert for sense enjoyment and finally getting frustrated. Please pick me up from this material ocean, I have no power to even understand Your mercy and love but easily get carried away by lust, greed and anger, pride of material life. Please be merciful unto me dear Mother. I will be faithful in serving at Your lotus feet Mum :)



Yours
Dinesh

You have made Him very unhappy. If He sees You He is overcome.

Govinda Das Kaviraj has written this song "Suna Vrsabhanu Nandini Rai". This song is taken from the book Padavali. In this song, Govinda Das Kaviraj describes how the gopis try to persuade Srimati Radharani to get rid of her anger and forgive Lord Krishna.
 
(Refrain)
suna brsabhanu-nandini ra-i
abala-mandale      kiriti rakhali
bhala mati se bitha-i
 
(1)
nanda-nandana         raja-bhusana
nayana sukha-maya seja
ki khane tuya sane       leha karala he
se saba durahi teja
 
(2)
ye tuhu takara        birasa anata
heri murachita bhela
kaiche pamari       bacana aichana
nidaya antara-sela
 
(3)
tuhari nagara  dhuli-dhusara
se nahi lagaye toya
bama kara-tale  badana lambita
dharani likhi lihki roya
 
(4)
ye jana duhu-jana  bedana nahi jane
takara antara jana
raya ramacandra  bacana manaha
dasa gobinda bhana
 
 
(Refrain) O Radha, O daughter of Vrsabhanu, please listen. In the circle of young girls Your reputation was good in the past. But today that good reputation is in disarray.
 
(1) Nanda's son is a regal jewel. Delight resides in His eyes. He loves You. Why do You flee so far from Him?
 
(2) You have made Him very unhappy. If He sees You He is overcome. O cruel girl, why did You speak such words to Him, cruel words, words like a lance pushed into His heart?
 
(3) For Your sake Your lover is now anointed with dust. Now He cannot attain You. In His left hand He rests His head. Aimlessly scratching some letters in the ground, He weeps.
 
(4) No one knows what You two feel. Only You know what is truly in His heart. Please reflect on Ramacandra Raya's words. This Govinda dasa says.
