Hare Krsna

Please accept my humble obeisance. All glories to Srila Prabhupada

 

One verse in the Bhagavatam helps us in this connection, aham vetti suka vetti, vyasa vetti nivrtti va. This means that the real purpose of the Bhagavatam is difficult to conceive. The verse is spoken by Lord Siva and he says, "I know the purpose of the Bhagavatam, Sukadeva, the disciple and son of Vyasa, he knows it thoroughly, and Vyasa, the author of Bhagavatam, he may or may not know."

Vaisnava Behaviours

Hare Krsna

Please accept my humble obeisance. All glories to Srila Prabhupada

SB 3.16.5 - A devotee should always see that his Vaisnava qualities increase with the advancement of his Krsna consciousness. A devotee should be blameless because any offense by the devotee is a scar on the Supreme Personality of Godhead. The devotee's duty is to be always conscious in his dealings with others, especially with another devotee of the Lord.

Hare Krsna

Please accept my humble obeisance. All glories to Srila Prabhupada

Sometimes,  some Devotees complain that Bhagavan Sri Krishna is not responding to their prayersThis is very surprising especially in view of Bhagavan's famous declaration in Bhagavad Gita, that He is easily available to His Bhakta.

It is a fact that, all sincere Devotees have a divine communication link with Sri Krishna.The effectiveness of this link depends on a few factors like:

For spiritual achievement the easiest path is to take shelter of a bona fide

success.

Thought Of The Day

We should always think that we are in the modes of ignorance. We are just trying to make progress from ignorance to goodness and then transcend. This is the process of spiritual realization. Nobody should think that we are perfect. We cannot be. God is... Only God is perfect, and we are all imperfect. Even our so-called liberated stage, we are still imperfect. Therefore one has to take shelter of authority because, constitutionally, we are imperfect. Lord Caitanya says, ama-saba jivera haya sast

Answer Summary: Real guilt comes between us and the things that take us away from Krishna, not between us and Krishna. If guilt stops or slows us in taking shelter of Krishna, then we should recognize it to be pseudo-guilt, the temptation for self-centeredness masquerading as guilt. By firmly rejecting pseudo-guilt, we can regain our devotional enthusiasm.
Answer: Just as nature has provided us an immune system that prot
