"G u r u m u k h p a d m a v a k y a"What is saralata? ……………….Nectarean MellowsSimplicity is one of the most beautiful spiritual virtues. In fact Srila Bhakti Siddhanta Saraswati Thakur quotes several times in this regard, he says that you can’t really begin the path of Bhakti truly without saralata - without simplicity. What is simplicity? Prabhupada explains it in many different ways and they should be very attentively understood. One place Prabhupada explains, simplicity means without duplicity; which really means we have no ulterior motives. We speak honestly, truthfully. Srila Prabhupada quotes in one place that speaking straight forward does not mean you speak in such a way (harshly) that you break people’s hearts. Prabhupada says straightforward means speaking the truth in a palatable way that actually enlightens people that actually encourages people. That is Prabhupada’s quotation.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.
