"G u r u m u k h p a d m a v a k y a"Who is a Pure devotee ……………….Nectarean MellowsSrila Prabhupada also explains that a pure devotee is a person whose ideal is pure devotional service. That personality may not yet be completely free from the modes of material nature, that devotee still may have material contaminations, but that devotee understands what I want in my life is pure unalloyed devotion. anyabilashita sunyam jnana karmadi anavritam/anukulyena krishna anusilanam bhaktir uttama - I want to serve Krishna favorably, I want to kick out fruitive desires and I want to even kick out the desire of liberation and mystic powers. I do not want these. I want pure unalloyed love. I want to follow in the footsteps of the residents of Vrindavan and completely absorb myself in the loving service of Krsna. That is my single exclusive goal in life. I may not be there but that's my ideal and I am willing to follow the regulative principles of spiritual master's instructions and I am willing to strive to attain that platform. To such a person, the only difference between his state or her state now in pure devotional service, is just time because of the right ideal, and the right endeavor with the right consciousness. So that is also a pure devotee one who is striving for pure devotional service. Therefore sometimes Srila Prabhupada would say to his disciples, you are all pure devotees. From the point of view of a Maha Bhgatavat, he is seeing everyone; he is seeing the soul in everyone, he is not concerned with the material desires, attachments, he is only looking at the soul and sees in essence everyone is pure devotee; in essence everyone is serving Krsna.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.
