1. In the whole material world suffering is never completely
extinguished, but it is designed in such a way so that one cannot give
it up.
2. There is necessity that we have to take shelter of devotees
through them ultimately we take shelter of krsna. Through devotees we
get knowledge of the supreme lord , inspiration to serve and leave the
material world. 3. The idea of leaving the material world should not
only be because of miseries , if the suffering aspect is more
prominent it becomes mixed devotion.
4. In pure bhakthi the motivation is to simply please the supreme lord.
5. When we tell chant and be happy our promise is for their eternal happiness.
-HH.Bhanu Swami Maharaj(SB# 5.14.36)

Sometimes you see these pictures of a man looking for a guru and hes
climbing up a mountain.and finally he gets on the top of the mountain and
theres a big monitor with google on it! This is the situation of this age.
We have become brain dead gradually, gradually becoming more and more dull,
books are being written on how the computer and especially the internet has
changed the thought pattern of people. I read the title of a book about
this topic- is the internet making us stupid? It is a fact, the internet is
making us stupid because before we use to think, now we searchSrila
Bhaktivinoda Thakura writes in his essay called ethics of the Bhagavata
that actually when we are reading, that reading is not merely meant for
retention of knowledge but that rather, one should be creative with that
knowledge and take that knowledge and think of how to apply that knowledge.
Its not merely meant for storage, as nowadays where you just throw it on
your hard disk

Having Faith Part 1

(Kadamba Kanana Swami, Finland, 2011)

We have no idea of the mercy that actually we are getting. We are thinking
that we understand all the mercy of Gaura Nitai, but we have no idea. Srila
Prabhupada told Dhananjaya:

"These deities of Gaura Nitai could just be given away to the people on the
street! You tell them that they are souvenirs….that these dolls are
souvenirs from the Hare Krishna and you can keep the doll. Everyday you can
put some water in front of the doll, which will bring luck for the whole
family. So you tell them".

Prabhupada was ready for that. It was inconceivable….what a vision of them.
What a faith in the mercy of Lord Caitanya, that somehow or other
everything will transform and that it will all work.

Kirtan Mela 2011

When the Vaisnavas assemble and chant kirtan for the pleasure of Krishna,
then the atmosphere becomes magical, the spiritual world manifests, and
Krsna is present. As different birds fly at different heights in the sky,
different devotees are on different levels of realization. Some may feel
the presence of the Lord and others may actually see Sri Caitanya
Mahaprabhu and His associates while chanting and dancing in kirtan. When
Narottama dasa Thakura performed his kirtan festival at Kethuri after Sri
Caitanya Mahprabhu had disappeared from this world, the devotees present
could see Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu and His associates chanting and dancing
in the greatest ecstasy. They themselves were then swept up in waves of
transcendental love. When Vaisnavas gather for kirtan, it is not only a
festival of temporary inspiration but an eternal benediction of lasting
benefit. When Vaisnavas gather for kirtan, it is an event not to miss!

(H.H. Kadamba Kanana Swami)

Because of Lord Caitanya

We chant Hare Krsna and we immediately think, Im a great bhakti yogi, I
mean what can Maya do to me.! And meanwhile Lord Caitanya is there every
moment blocking maya every step of the way and protecting us. Every step of
the way we are being protected otherwise we would fall down, a hundred
times, a thousand times a day! But by Lord Caitanyas personal intervention,
a hundred times, a thousand times a day we are saved! We dont see it. So we
can pray to Lord Caitanya in gratitude for saving us
(Kadamba Kanana Maharaja, September 2009, Durban, SA)

Ice breaker-an ill husband

Picture of the week!

Bhagavad-gita As It Is # Chapter 11
 

TEXT 4:

manyase yadi tac chakyam
maya drashtum iti prabho
yogesvara tato me tvam
darsayatmanam avyayam 

TRANSLATION:

If You think that I am able to behold Your cosmic form, O my Lord, O master of all mystic power, then kindly show me that unlimited universal Self. 

PURPORT:

It is said that one can neither see, hear, understand nor perceive the Supreme Lord, Krishna, by the material senses. But if one is engaged in loving transcendental service to the Lord from the beginning, then one can see the Lord by revelation. Every living entity is only a spiritual spark; therefore it is not possible to see or to understand the Supreme Lord. Arjuna, as a devotee, does not depend on his speculative strength; rather, he admits his limitations as a living entity and acknowledges Krishna's inestimable position. Arjuna could understand that for a living entity it is not possible to understand the unlimited infinite. If the infinite reveals Himself, then it is possible to understand the nature of the infinite by the grace of the infinite. The word yogesvara is also very significant here because the Lord has inconceivable power. If He likes, He can reveal Himself by His grace, although He is unlimited. Therefore Arjuna pleads for the inconceivable grace of Krishna. He does not give Krishna orders. Krishna is not obliged to reveal Himself unless one surrenders fully in Krishna consciousness and engages in devotional service. Thus it is not possible for persons who depend on the strength of their mental speculations to see Krishna.
