(For Ramanujacarya’s disappearance anniversary)

Dr. Patel: Sir, I read your commentary on Bhagavad-gita and Ramanujacarya’s. They are absolutely parallel.

Prabhupada: Yes.

Dr. Patel: I think you have taken out of it… (laughter)

Prabhupada: How can I…

Dr. Patel: I am just joking.

Prabhupada: No, no. Our process is to take from the acaryas. We are not manufacturing. We are not so fools and rascals that we have to manufacture. We have to take the remnants o

HK Devotees,

PAMHO.

Do you know any devotee/well-wisher staying in Kutchh-Bhuj-Kandla area in Gujarat, India?

One devotee from Pune got a job there and he needs association badly.

YS,

In the service of Guru & Gauranga,

Adikavi Das

No one makes my bed
I stand up on my head
I sleep wherever I please
I walk with the dead

I am not of this world
This world is from me
I am not enslaved by it
I have let it go free

I can be anywhere I want
In the planet of your choice
I can do whatever I want
I can even be your voice

Do you hear me calling you
I am in your heart forever
I love you and always will
Love you now and forever

Fear was something I knew
Before I met myself
Now fear knows me and runs
I shine all by myself

Darkness disappeared forever
whereve

Before giving up the present body , If one is able to tolerate urges of material senses and check the force of desire and anger , he is a yogi and is happy in this world.

By Srila Prabhupada

Nectar Bits from Maharaj’s Class in London

Even though Guru Maharaj was not feeling well, He still gave a class on Bhagavatam yesterday (8th July 2002) evening - it was extremely wonderful.
Guru Maharaj said that:

1st Canto: Adhikar Lila - qualifies one to understand rest of the 11 Cantos
2nd Canto: Gyan Lila - provides us thorough knowledge.

Srila Prabhupada gives a very strong punch in the purport for SB 1.2.12:
Devotional service,

Question: Hare Krishna, Guru Maharaja,

Please accept my humble obeisances All glories to Srila Prabhupada and his followers.

I would like to know how to answer the question posed by a Muslim:

Why do you worship the form of God in the temple when God is formless?

Joy  

Answer: God isn't Formless. His Form is Unlimited.

If a Muslim asks such a question, he is not learned in his own scripture, the Qur'an clearly states as follows::

Wa lillaahil - Mashriqu wal-Magrib: Fa- 'aynamaa tu-walluu fa-samma Wajhu

Loving Instructions from Maharaj

I would like to take this opportunity to share some of the beautiful pointers Maharaj gave in my recent conversation with him. He gave powerful instructions which would inspire us in our struggle to gain a stable footing in our spiritual lives. Maharaj was telling that devotees’ nature centers around 3 simple ‘C’s!! Cool, Calm and Composed. He was explaining very nicely that come what may the material

Misleading Missionaries

by Jayadvaita Swami

When we hear that we live in this material world because we are “fallen souls,” it’s natural for us to ask, “Where have we fallen from?”

Srila Prabhupada says that as living souls we are all originally Krishna conscious. But what does that mean? Were we all originally with Krishna in the spiritual world? And if so, how could we ever have fallen

Please Accept My Humble Obeisances.

All Glories to Srila Prabhupada, Sri Gurudev & Gaurangachandra.

Amogha: Usually in modern education they have the idea called “well-rounded point of view.” They want to take some from here, from there, from that one and that one, that one, and then think about them all, and come up with a conclusion. So he is thinking it doesn’t fit with their pattern of reasoning, how we take from one source and get the proper conclusion. They think they have to get from many sources and compare.

Prabhupada: How… I can reply

When He [Caitanya Mahaprabhu] took sannyasa and the mother came… Advaita Prabhu arranged to see for the last time her son. Because a sannyasi is no more coming home. So at that time, mother became overwhelmed: “Such beautiful body. He has nice hair. Now it is shaven.” So she became very much overwhelmed and was crying. So Caitanya Mahaprabhu immediately fell down on her lotus feet and He said, “My dear mother, this body is yours. My dear mother

In the forest when the foxes and jackals and wolves howl it can be very daunting. They howl at various pitches with all their energy seemingly competing for prominence amongst each other. Amid all the screeching and screaming and squeaking and squawking in the forest, when the simplest roar of the lion pervades, announcing its own might, dragging the hearts of the wolves and others down to their knees in utter disappointment, the truth becomes obv
