"G u r u m u k h p a d m a v a k y a"It is very important to hear only from pure devotees ……………….Nectarean MellowsSrimad Bhagavatam is pure milk. It is nectar. But whoever speaks, whatever they speak, their consciousness is also mixed into it. So therefore when we hear from such persons - that influence of their consciousness are pierced into our heart. Similarly if someone is a mayavadi, like many speakers of Bhagavatam, their ultimate conclusion is Mayavad. Their ideal is to become God. So when we hear from them, even if we are devotees and we understand the proper conclusions but when we hear from them, the effect of their consciousness is entering into our heart. Therefore it’s so very important to hear from pure devotees, Srila Prabhupada defines pure devotees in various ways at various times, one explanation of a pure devotee is a person who has attain Prema Bhakti, a person who has achieved love of Krsna, whose consciousness is no longer affected by the three modes of material nature. Pure means without adulteration that means the natural state of the soul is not in any way contaminated. That is pure. Prabhupada explains ‘to be purified means to be brought back to its natural state just like pure water means there is no contaminates into it’. To purify water, you don't put anything in the water, you just take everything else out of the water. Yes! So pure love, you don't put love into your heart, you just take everything else out then there is pure love. Because that is essence, the nature of the consciousness, nitya-siddha krsna-prema sadhya kabhu naya/sravanadi suddha citta koriya udaya.H H Radhanath Swami Maharajguru-mukha-padma- vakya, cittete koriya aikya, ara na koriho mane aasa************ ********* ********* ********* ********* ********* ********* ********* *********Please visit our sites www.radhagopinath.com, www.radhanathswami.com, www.itsohappened.com, www.thejourneyhomebook.com for lectures, interactions etcwww.deitydarshan.com & www.vrindavandarshan.com & www.mayapur.com for online darshanwww.iskcondesiretree.com for audio video downloadswww.vedabase.net for online Srila Prabhupada bookswww.groups.yahoo.com/group/nectareanmellows for Nectars of HH Radhanath Maharajtrinad api sunicena, taror api sahishnuna, amanina manadena, kirtaniya sada HariHare Krsna Hare Krsna Krsna Krsna Hare Hare Hare Rama Hare Rama Rama Rama Hare Hare************ ********* ********* ********* ********* ********* ********* ********* *********Pain is inevitable, suffering is optional.To see a Vaishnava and not become happy is an offence.Humility is not just a part of devotional service; it is the heart of devotional service.It is important to remind ourselves that at the end of the day, all we really have is each other.Combined unity is better than individual purity.
