Prabhupada approves Monier-Williams Sanskrit dictionary
→ The Spiritual Scientist

“I have just seen one Sanskrit dictionary of Pradyumna's [Prabhupada's Sanskrit editor], and it is compiled by one Englishman, Williams . . . he has taken so much trouble and he has made thorough study and it is very nice and scholarly books . . . and because he has chosen Sanskrit language for his study, therefore it is the highest example of scholarship and knowledge.”

(Letter to: Mandali Bhadra — Sydney 2 April, 1972)

Srimad-Bhagavatam 7.10.70
evam vidhany asya hareh sva-mayaya

TRANSLATION
The Lord, Sri Krishna, appeared as a human being, yet He performed many uncommon and wonderful pastimes by His own potency. How can I say more about His activities than what has already been said by great saintly persons? Everyone can be purified by His activities, simply by hearing about them from the right source.

(Kadamba Kanana Swami, 2010, Melbourne, Australia)

kks_april2014I was thinking of the bull, Dharma. When Dharma’s legs were broken by Kali, Kali was standing there next to the bull with a stick in its hands. Maharaj Parikshit arrives on the spot and says, “Who did this!?” And the bull says, “It’s hard to say. It’s hard to say who did this. It could be karma. It could be the will of the providence.”

So I also was thinking that; I could look at the causes and the ultimate cause is Krsna. Somehow or other, Krsna sent me this. I’m trying to be a devotee and Krsna sent me this for my purification, for my growth and I will have to take it like that. I’ll have to take. This is Krsna’s mercy and I have to learn from this.

In the Nrsimha Sahasra Nama it is said:

simhaya simha-rajaya
jagad-vasyaya te namah
atta-hasaya-rosaya
jala-vasaya te namah
“O Lord who is a lion, the king of lions and the master of the universe, obeisances unto You! O Lord who laughs loudly, is angry and resides on the water, obeisances unto You!”
In Wellington New Zealand, the devotees, as devotees do all over the world, celebrated the holy appearance of Lord Nrsimha Deva. Srila Prabhupada once said in a lecture, “ Lord Nrsimha descended on account of His affection for His devotee, Prahlada Maharaja.”

How History is His Story

History, if seen from a purely materialistic perspective, seems to be nothing more than a list of names of dead successful people. Decade after decade, century after century, millennia after millennia, people come, people live, people die.
