Most Yogis translate Bhakti Yoga as “Divine Love” and then Srila Prabhupada
translated it as ‘Devotional Service’.
Here is why, real love means there must be action. A mother can only claim
she loves her children when she feeds them and takes care of them .
The phrase “Divine Love” sounds cool, and you can imagine a guru sitting
twiddling a flower in his hand and dishing out blessings with his other
hand.
Guru Kripa Prabhu went to Japan under difficult circumstance and paid for
the 3 main Temples in India, out of love for Srila Prabhupada.
So many devotees have made serious sacrifices for Srila Prabhupada and in
this way spiritual advancement was guaranteed.
Srila Prabhupada had great love and compassion for the poor jivas suffering
in Kaliyuga. Below is an example of real compassion and love:
Ramesvara: I remember another thing that Srila Prabhupada told me during
that time that is very important. He talked about the coming of
unemployment in the Kali-yuga. We’re seeing this now and this is 2009,
almost 2010. It’s a bad economic time. But Prabhupada was talking that as
the Kali-yuga progresses, more and more there will be unemployment.
Prabhupada said we must be ready to take these unemployed people into our
movement on our farms. Prabhupada said that we need farm communities that
can grow food. He predicted that, “One day millions of people would be
coming to our Hare Krishna farms because they are unemployed. And we must
accept them. We must feed them. We must let them live there and they will
gradually become spiritualized. We will put them to work, they will get
their food and there will be prasadam. They will hear something about
Krishna and they will gradually by the millions become devotees.”
