"I am ready for it."

P K VENUGOPAL commented on ISKCON Desire Tree's blog post Krishna’s service temporarily unavailable!

"Each and every word of The Blessed Purushottam Nitai Das is exactly right. But to stick to laws of nature as prescribed in Vedic books, man has to get the blessings of KRISHNA. One cannot chant the maha mantra and keep thinking that he will reach…"

P K VENUGOPAL commented on ISKCON Desire Tree's blog post Do you think sex is bad?

"But why engage even in good sex? It will create new babies in material world. So everybody should try about attaining the Supreme Godhead and be in HIS service. So there won't be any need for material world."

PRAYERS FOR PROTECTION FROM

THE SRIMAD BHAGAVATAM.

mām ugra-dharmād akhilāt pramādān
nārāyaṇaḥ pātu naraś ca hāsāt
dattas tv ayogād atha yoga-nāthaḥ
pāyād guṇeśaḥ kapilaḥ karma-bandhāt

May Lord Nārāyaṇa protect me from unnecessarily

following false religious systems and falling from

my duties due to madness. May the Lord in His

appearance as Nara protect me from unnecessary

pride. May Lord Dattātreya, the Master of all mystic

power, protect me from falling while performing

bhakti-yoga, and may Lord Kapila, the Master of

all good qualities, protect me from the material

bondage of fruitive activities.

māḿ keśavo gadayā prātar avyād
govinda āsańgavam ātta-veṇuḥ
nārāyaṇaḥ prāhṇa udātta-śaktir
madhyan-dine viṣṇur arīndra-pāṇiḥ

May Lord Keśava protect me with His club in the

first portion of the day, and may Govinda, who

is always engaged in playing His flute, protect

me in the second portion of the day. May Lord

Nārāyaṇa, who is equipped with all potencies,

protect me in the third part of the day, and

may Lord Viṣṇu, who carries a disc to kill His

enemies, protect me in the fourth part of the day.

devo 'parāhṇe madhu-hogradhanvā
sāyaḿ tri-dhāmāvatu mādhavo mām
doṣe hṛṣīkeśa utārdha-rātre
niśītha eko 'vatu padmanābhaḥ

May Lord Madhusūdana, who carries a bow very

fearful for the demons, protect me during the

fifth part of the day. In the evening, may Lord

Mādhava, appearing as Brahmā, Viṣṇu and

Maheśvara, protect me, and in the beginning

of night may Lord Hṛṣīkeśa protect me. At the

dead of night (in the second and third parts

of night) may Lord Padmanābha alone protect me.

śrīvatsa-dhāmāpara-rātra īśaḥ
pratyūṣa īśo 'si-dharo janārdanaḥ
dāmodaro 'vyād anusandhyaḿ prabhāte
viśveśvaro bhagavān kāla-mūrtiḥ

May the Supreme Personality of Godhead, who bears

the Śrīvatsa on His chest, protect me after midnight

until the sky becomes pinkish. May Lord Janārdana,

who carries a sword in His hand, protect me at the

end of night (during the last four ghaṭikās of night).

May Lord Dāmodara protect me in the early morning,

and may Lord Viśveśvara protect me during the

junctions of day and night.

With love and best wishes, take care, bye, Radhe Radhe.

Pranam Dearest Devotee. Hare Krishna.

May you be blessed with full surrender at the Lotus

Feet of the All-pervading Personality of Godhead,

Lord Krishna, Who is the Absolute Truth and the

Primeval cause of all the causes of the creation,

sustenance and destruction of the manifested

universes. Simply by chanting His Holy Name one

is purified from the six enemies, lust, anger, greed,

pride, illusion and envy. If these six enemies take

control of the mind, a person becomes sinful. To

desire those things that are necessary for minimal

daily existence is not lust, but to aspire for more

than your daily requirement is called lust. Following

this, lust puts one into various difficulties. If one`s

desires are not fulfilled, anger results. From anger

comes quarrelling, harsh words, fighting, murder,

and all sorts of sinful actions. Greed overtakes one

by degrees, until one commits sinful activity to fulfil

it. Pride is the tendency to think of oneself as great.

One attains gentle behaviour when one begins to

think of oneself as very insignificant. If one thinks of

oneself as a servant of Lord Krishna, pride will not

possess one. Illusion (delusion and infatuation)

indicates ignorance and is always bad. Not to accept

another person`s elevated position is called envy.

When one is overcome by any one of these six

enemies, one is afflicted with citta-vibhrama (mental

illusion). Citta-vibhrama then gives birth to atheism.

With love and best wishes, take care bye.
