By Parasurama Das
The wonderful Tribhuvanath Prabhu used to tell us how Srila Prabhupada often said ” comfortable living and Krishna Consciousness don’t go well together”. Tribhuvanath Prabhu jokingly would say that we should not practice ” cosy yoga”.
The bhagavata-dharma, or the cult of Srimad-Bhagavatam, is perfectly distinct from the way of fruitive activities, which are considered by the devotees to be merely a waste of time. The whole universe, or for that matter all material existence, is moving on as jagat, simply for planning business to make one’s position very comfortable or secure, although everyone sees that this existence is neither comfortable nor secure and can never become comfortable or secure at any stage of development. Those who are captivated by the illusory advancement of material civilization
(following the way of phantasmagoria) are certainly madmen. The whole material creation is a jugglery of names only; in fact, it is nothing but a bewildering creation of matter like earth, water and fire. The buildings, furniture, cars, bungalows, mills, factories, industries, peace, war or even the highest perfection of material science, namely atomic energy and electronics, are all simply bewildering names of material elements with their concomitant reactions of the three modes. [SB 2.2.3 purport]
Leaving the comfort of the Dnipro Temple , Bhakta Yurii and Tusta Krishna Prabhus brave the bitter cold and bombs to distribute delicious Prasad to suffering people. This Jiva Doya initiative will greatly benefit not just the suffering people in the war but will also soften our own hearts and help us realise that this temporary world is no place for a gentleman.
Please support these devotees in prayers and funds , the summer is coming and the war is escalating.
