This is just an incredibly blissful section, please listen attentively… ŚB 3.6.35-end.

“My dear Vidura,” Maitreya concluded, “this form of the All-Attractive, which embodies destiny and fate, arises on the strength of his own internal potency. Who can even aspire to completely describe it?

Maitreya stops describing the universal form (a divine manifestation that facilitates the destiny and fate of individual living entities) because it is impossible to exhaustively describe the limitless and indescribable.

Even still, my friend, for the sake of purifying my own impure voice, I narrate this kīrtan to you – explaining as much as I can comprehend of whatever I could hear about the glories of Hari.

Maitreya does not think he is enlightening Vidura. He thinks he is Vidura’s student, and that Vidura has purified him by engaging his impure voice in speaking about Hari. Only such a person with such a mood is qualified to perform the function of Śrī Guru. So long as we feel superior to any person we cannot function as Śrī Guru, we are only impostors and obstacles to others on their path of bhakti-yoga.

Another essential point about preaching (i.e. “functioning as Śrī Guru”)… we must hear Hari-katha before we are capable of “preaching!” Then we must understand something about what we heard. If we don’t understand what we are hearing or reading, we are still not qualified to preach (i.e. give others the sonic link to Śrī Hari). What we are supposed to preach is not what we hear but don’t understand – just repeating like parrots, robots, or sheep following a script. This is like shooting a gun with blanks instead of real bullets. Such a gun makes a sound, but there is no actual bullet coming out. We have to preach what we understand about what we have heard about Hari.

This means we better get off our lazy butts and make some serious endeavor to understand something substantial in the words of Śrī Guru – otherwise we are unfit instruments and will perform no important function in the service of Śrī Caitanya Mahaprabhu.

It is said, ‘Your words can achieve no greater fortune than to speak about him, whose qualities are the roots of the most exquisite poetry.’ And the ears, their greatest fortune is to very deeply fill up with ambrosial Hari Kathā spoken by the wise.

My God! This is such a beautiful, beautiful verse!

Your words can achieve no greater fortune than to speak about Hari. Hari is so wonderful that his qualities are the roots of the tree producing the most beautiful flowers and most delicious fruits mankind has ever expressed in words. So how can our words achieve anything more valuable than to enjoy those fruits and flowers?

And as for the ears… the greatest fortune they can achieve is to be filled very thoroughly and deeply with the ambrosia of Hari Kathā. Not just any Kathā, but the Kathā spoken by people who have understood something deep and significant about what they have heard about Hari.

This is the hope we cherish beyond all hopes — to be given to the company of persons whose voice emanates deep sounds of Hari-Kathā without cessation. When will Śrīmatī Vṛṣabhānu-Nandinī fulfill this wish? Or, when will this polluted soul named Vraja Kishor stop blocking the fulfillment of that wish, like a klutz tripping over his own feet?

My dear child, even the original poet couldn’t comprehend the greatness of that Being, even after striving by perfect mystic intelligence for a thousand celestial years!

Maitreya said that Hari-guṇa (the qualities of Hari) are the roots of the most exquisite poetry (suṣloka-mauleḥ)… so he continues speaking on the theme and talks here about Ādi-kavi Brahmā, the original poet, and will next mention other lesser poets…

So what can be said about lesser poets? The enchanting mysteries of the All-Attractive bewilder those mystified souls. Even he cannot fully comprehend his own limitlessness! Unable to grasp him, the words, mind, and egos of all the gods of the world fall silent and fold their hands to the All-Attractive, saying “namaḥ.”

This is how kīrtan tends to end. With the feeling that we may have caught a glimpse of a glimmer of the toenails of the Gopis rushing towards Krishna, but we cannot progress further, we cannot focus the picture. So kīrtan becomes tired, falls silent and prays for forgiveness and mercy to go further. The kīrtan that strives to establish itself via the voice, mind, or individuality of the speaker or singer, tends to always fail in this manner – even if gracefully and repentantly.

ataḥ śrī-kṛṣṇa-nāmādi na bhaved grahyam indriyaiḥ
sevonmukhe hi jihvādau svayam eva sphurty adaḥ

“The name (etc) of Krishna is not within the reach of the senses. It manifests of its own accord from tongue (etc) of a person who is inclined towards loving service.”

Hare Krishna.

This is what I saw in a refrigerator few days ago – milk in 3 types! Extra Lite, Low Fat Lite and Full Cream!

But i want none of those and want the “Nectarean Milk” which Srila Prabhupad is talking about below.

“Milk is compared to nectar, which one can drink to become immortal. Of course, simply drinking milk will not make one immortal, but it can increase the duration of one’s life. In modern civilization, men do not think milk to be important, and therefore they do not live very long. Although in this age men can live up to one hundred years, their duration of life is reduced because they do not drink large quantities of milk. This is a sign of Kali-yuga. In Kali-yuga, instead of drinking milk, people prefer “to slaughter an animal and eat its flesh. The Supreme Personality of Godhead, in His instructions of Bhagavad-gītā, advises go-rakṣya, which means cow protection. The cow should be protected, milk should be drawn from the cows, and this milk should be prepared in various ways. One should take ample milk, and thus one can prolong one’s life, develop his brain, execute devotional service, and ultimately attain the favor of the Supreme Personality of Godhead. As it is essential to get food grains and water by digging the earth, it is also essential to give protection to the cows and take nectarean milk from their milk bags.”

Excerpt From: His Divine Grace A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada. “Srimad-Bhagavatam, Canto 08.06.12.

The much awaited visit of the year is here ! HH Bhakti Rasamrita Swami will be in Melbourne for the next 10 days and I attended first of his talk yesterday – Faith in Scriptures.

Maharaj took time to clarify the difference between blind faith and educated faith. He cited so many examples from both the scriptures. srila prabhupada and his own to make everyone understand. The only disappointing part of the evening were (1) mobile phones going off (2) little children making noise; while the talk was going on.

Almost on all mornings, he will be giving Srimad Bhagavatam class which ought not to be missed.

Also looking forward to his talk at Urban Yoga, a place for the general mass of public to start their spiritual education. Yesterday i was asked to choose 3 topics for him to choose from and this is what i came with:

1) City of 9 Gates
The intricate workings of the body, senses, mind and soul. The theme is basically- we know so many things of the world but do we know out own body.

2) Blind Faith
Making one understand that devotees/spiritualists have a structured and scientific process to understanding their life and scriptures and that true religion is not a blind faith.

3) Understanding the 4 Pillars of Spirituality
This topic relates to making one understand how austerity, truthfulness, cleanliness and mercy are an integral part of building ones character and foundation.

Hope one of them works! And more realizations and updates coming up!

"He chants as a watchman does his rounds, guarding the property, happy in his duties, guarding to make sure his voice utters only the name. And with his watchman’s searchlight he constantly pierces into the darkness of the wandering mind. As a watchman, he does his rounds."

From Japa Reform Notebook
by Satsvarupa dasa Goswami

Krishna has given everyone something extraordinary and to serve Krishna with one's extraordinary talent means successful life.

- Srila Prabhupada in a letter to Sukadeva -- Calcutta 4th March 1973

I deeply respect His Holiness Bhakti Vikas Maharaj as an exalted Vaishnava, a dedicated leading follower of Srila Prabhupada, a meticulous scholar and a vigorous writer. Especially through his writings, he has also been one my most important shiksha-gurus. His books on brahmacharya and Prabhupada were vital guiding lights that shaped my convictions in the formative years of my Krishna consciousness. His three-volume magnum opus, Sri Bhaktisiddhanta Vaibhava, is arguably among the best offerings that ISKCON has made to the Gaudiya sampradaya, forming a precious link to our glorious past and illumining the way to the future. I was so inspired by that book that I wrote a long appreciative review of his book and sent it to Maharaj, and he posted on his site as well sent on his egroup. Moreover, I have served Maharaj as an editor on a few occasions.

Given this background, I am dismayed and appalled at the impression being circulated in some circles that we are embroiled in some controversy due to our seemingly opposing stands on the issue of voting in elections.

My original talk 

HH Bhakti Vikas Maharaj response

To remove such misimpressions, I wrote to Maharaj, informing him about the controversy and clarifying my position. He also felt that the controversy was unnecessary and has posted his clarification here.

HH Bhakti Vikas Maharaj clarification

My clarification (This talk is an expanded version of the below text, which is an edited version of the letter I had sent to Maharaj - edited so that it addresses the readers instead of Maharaj)

*

In my talk, “Voting in elections is the social responsibility of devotees,” my using this term ‘social responsibility’ may have conveyed that I was saying that devotees have to vote in elections. That was not my intention at all.

I gave my talk because I had come across some devotees who were insisting that, as a matter of principle, devotees shouldn’t vote. Is that sort of insistence warranted by the teachings of Srila Prabhupada? No doubt, he disapproved democracy. But does his disapproval amount to an eternal ban on voting for devotees?

Only if we divorce his words from his actions.

In his practical example, Srila Prabhupada was dynamic in responding to changing social realities. For example, in the initial days of our movement, he stated that there was no need for varnashrama - just Krishna consciousness was enough. But later, seeing how the contemporary culture made sustainable practice of serious bhakti extremely difficult, he emphasized that varnashrama was needed.

This social dynamism was evident even in his approach to democracy.

For example, though Lord Chaitanya refused to meet King Pratap Rudra when the king himself was desperate to meet him, Srila Prabhupada went out of his way to meet Indira Gandhi – he cancelled a world tour to meet a democratically elected leader who was a politician and a woman. And he did that after he had repeatedly stated and written that democracy was not a desirable form of government, that politicians weren’t trustworthy and that a female being a head of state wasn’t appropriate.

How do we understand this difference between Srila Prabhupada and Lord Chaitanya – and even the difference between Srila Prabhupada’s words and actions?

By understanding the context.

Srila Prabhupada lived in a socio-political situation substantially different from the one at the time of Lord Chaitanya. Whereas Lord Chaitanya’s reputation would have been sullied by meeting a king, in the modern situation Srila Prabhupada’s reputation would have been enhanced by meeting the Indian Prime Minister.

In his writings, Srila Prabhupada declared as ideal a government headed by a spiritually enlightened monarch. But he also recognized that today’s practical reality was radically different, necessitating a pragmatic response that made the best use of a bad bargain. One such response was meeting and influencing a democratically elected head of state.

 

Srila Prabhupada’s context-sensitive response demonstrates that his practical actions in relationship with democracy were far more nuanced than mere condemnation. And ISKCON’s global history confirms that devotees too need to adopt carefully considered socio-political positions.

In today's socio-political situation, overall countries with democratic governments have been far more conducive for sharing Krishna consciousness than countries with non-democratic forms of government.

Had it not been for devotees’ contacting politicians who had been elected democratically and who therefore had to be responsive to public opinion,

1. We might have had no temple at Juhu (An influential democratic leader intervened to stop the demolition),
2. Bhagavad Gita As It Is might have been banned in Russia (India’s democratically elected Parliamentary leaders vehemently opposed the proposed ban and sent a strong message to the Russia government).

In contrast, non-democratic governments have often been hostile to devotees

1. The non-democratic communist governments in USSR persecuted devotees.
2. The non-democratic theocracies in the Middle East ban the public practice of devotional service to this day.
3. Countries with nominal democracies such as China are similarly hostile.

So, in a world when there’s no enlightened spiritual form of government, ISKCON’s history testifies that democracy appears the best option for us.

In a democratic setup, there will be karmic reactions in voting for a government that doesn’t correct wrongs like cow slaughter. But is not voting necessarily a karmically safe option?

Given the choice between a party that may curb cow slaughter and others that most certainly won’t curb it, not voting may also lead to karmic reactions. How? Because by our inaction we may have neglected doing what was in our power to try to stop cow slaughter. After all, the Bhagavad-gita asserts that inaction is also a form of action; and the Mahabharata demonstrates that Bhishma and Drona became culpable during Draupadi’s disrobing because they didn’t do anything. As His Holiness Bhakti Vikas Maharaj has stated in his talk, the social situation today is extremely complex and there are no easy answers or quick solutions such as “all devotees should vote” or “no devotee should vote.”

Of course, if we had a devotee-candidate, or better still, a political party formed by devotees was contesting, then naturally the answer would be: “devotees should vote”. Srila Prabhupada encouraged devotees to start a political party and campaign for getting votes. Unfortunately, at present, there’s no such party.

 

For those devotees who feel inclined to vote for a party that is relatively more favorable to sanatana-dharma than others, my talk intended to show that our philosophy is inclusive enough to accommodate their inclination. Maharaj too gave that room for choice by stating that devotees can vote.

The purpose of my talk was to help devotees concerned about bringing in a social environment more favorable to sanatana-dharma could see voting as a social opportunity.

If I intended to convey that voting was a social opportunity, then why did I use the word ‘social responsibility’?

To convey that devotees shouldn’t be apathetic to the social situation, dismissing it as mundane. I have observed that the dismissive disdain for voting among some devotees unnecessarily alienates socially responsible people, many of whom are intelligent, are in the mode of goodness and are potential devotees. Such people see the disdain of devotees as a confirmation of their misperception that devotees are socially irresponsible: “You people don’t care about what happens in society – you just want to, like a parasite, use society’s resources for doing your own other-worldly stuff.”

If we feed the public perception that devotees’ role in society is parasitic, we do violence not just to our preaching mission but also to the truth. Our social role is not parasitic, but cathartic. Or at least it should be. Srila Prabhupada wanted us to transform society positively – in that sense, devotees are meant to be socially conscious and socially concerned, or in other words, socially responsible. One way devotees can express that social responsibility is by voting in elections.

Will such voting distract devotees from their far more important social responsibility to implement Srila Prabhupada’s broad program: all-round social reform necessary for bringing in guna-karma-based varnashrama?

That distraction is possible, but not probable. Because voting in elections will take only a few minutes once in a few years. As I had said in my talk, Srila Prabhupada has abundantly cautioned us against romanticizing this world. This means that we shouldn’t become obsessed with politics, entertaining vain hopes that political change alone will solve all problems. The occasional activity of voting shouldn’t become a replacement for our perennial social responsibility of spiritually-centered reform.

To the contrary, this occasional voting may well contribute towards that long-term program. One way to progress towards varnashrama is by influencing social leaders. Though the ideal situation is that political leaders come to spiritual leaders for guidance, we are far away from that situation, as Maharaj pointed out. So making the best of what we have, one way to begin interacting with today’s leaders is by making our social presence felt in a way that counts for them – as a group of socially conscious voters.

To conclude, my use of the word ‘social responsibility’ was not to convey that voting was something that devotees had to do – rather, my intention was to convey that it being a social responsibility is optional, as contrasted with a spiritual responsibility which is mandatory.

Devotees who feel inclined to vote don’t have to be made to feel that they are going against Srila Prabhupada’s teachings – nor, of course, should devotees who feel disinclined to vote. His Divine Grace has built a house big enough in which both groups can live.

 

I was listening to a lecture by Srila Prabhupada on the life of Ajamila. Prabhupada very nicely explains the significance of Holy Names especially at the time of death. The class runs 27 mins and is very interesting.

Another thing that excited me was at the end when Prabhupada was imitating Ajamila by chanting "Narayan". After Prabhupada chanted "Narayan", there was an eerie silence for about 20 seconds at the end. Finally Prabhupada concludes the lecture saying "Thank you very much". After I heard the pause two or three times, I was convinced Prabhupada went into trance calling the names of Narayana. I wanted to verify my doubt so I did some research online to find if there were any eye witness to this lecture. Lo and behold I found a passage about this encounter by Satyaraja Dasa (Steven Rosen) in his book "The Agni and the Ecstasy".

In page 71 of his book, he writes "On the fourth day of Prabhupada’s Chicago lectures, another miracle occurred. After repeating Narayana’s name many times in telling the story of Ajamila, Srila Prabhupada fell into trance. This was something he rarely did in public. An intense silence engulfed the room. We all felt blessed to witness the transcendental phenomenon. Through purely calling out Narayana’s name, in telling the story, Prabhupada was seeing Narayana face-to-face. His trance-like state and his inability to speak lasted two minutes. Although I have read about the ecstatic symptoms of a pure devotee, I was amazed to see them. Those of us who were in the room will never forget his spiritually uplifting expression, as tears rolled down his face. After two seemingly eternal minutes, Srila Prabhupada said, “All right. Thank you very much.” He then gestured that kirtana should begin, and one of the most intense chanting sessions I had ever experienced permeated the large hall.”

Dear Srila Prabhupada,

We are presently standing in the middle of a massive Harinam party in Amsterdam, for the King’s Day celebrations. About 150 devotees, many are young boys and girls which gives us hope that the movement is moving.
Fired up dancing brahmacaris in saffron robes, and the energy is contagious, the general public can’t control themselves, they are caught up in the dancing frenzy.
We traveled 700 miles to be here and no body complained about anything, lack of sleep, lack of facilities etc, it is worth travelling 7,000 miles to experience the Holy Name and the sadhu sanga as we did on the streets of Amsterdam. For 8 hours sin city Amsterdam felt like a Holy Dham. In our spiritual paths we are sure to meet many hurdles, many obstacles, many difficulties but our saving grace, is your special gift to us:

Hare Krishna Hare Krishna

Gadadhara Pandita is an incarnation of Srimati Radharani, the internal potency of Lord Krishna. But because Lord Caitanya is Krishna acting in the mood of Srimati Radharani, Gadadhara Pandita, although Radharani, did not act in the mood of Radharani–because there can be only one Radharani. Gadadhara Pandita understood, “This is Krishna’s time. This is Krishna’s opportunity to relish the loving ecstasy of Srimati Radharani, so I will keep my mood of Radha in the background and just support Him in His experience of Radha-bhava.” It is also said that if Gadadhara Pandita had manifested the nature or feature of Srimati Radharani, then Krishna, who was trying to absorb Himself in the mood of Radharani, would have become attracted to the Radha outside of Him and wouldn’t have been able to maintain His inner mood as Radha. So Gadadhara Pandita, to facilitate Lord Caitanya in His pastimes, played the perfect role to complement and support the Lord–that of a perfect brahmana, very gentle, very submissive, very scholarly, very sober.

Srimad Bhagavatam(4,11,21) by H.H Bhakti Charu Swami Maharaj on 20th April 2014.

The grass hasn't grown that high yet,  but the cows were so eager to roam the pastures after such a harsh, long winter that we let them out a few days ago. In fact, Madhava, the ox,  had broken out twice to munch the grass on the other side of the fence which really made the other cows envious.

We performed artik to our deity Giriraj and the cows and fed them the cows treats. Vegan Indira, the cow who was recently saved by ISCOWP members from the dairy industry, met the rest of the herd and green grass for the first time in her life as did the calves Indraneela and Anasuya who had been saved from the auction barn last fall. It was an auspicious time for the cows.

"One should be merciful and not cause anxiety to any living entity. The heart should always be filled with compassion for others. Exhibiting mercy to all living entities is one of the limbs of devotional service."

- Bhaktivinoda Thakura, Bhaktyaloka

When we wake up in the morning, our thoughts should turn to Japa - it's the beginning of our spiritual day and the most important.
You may remember the times when your Japa was focused and concentrated and you felt the purification of the Holy names - it affects our whole day, how we see the world and how we interact with the world.

(Kadamba Kanana Swami, 30 March 2014, Cape Town, South Africa, Srimad Bhagavatam 10.39.39)

Because we have been in the material world for many lifetimes, we have accumulated many desires that are stored within our subconsciousness and all these desires are still influencing us now. Again, we are trying to enjoy them one more time; again and again, although we were not satisfied in previous lives, not fulfilled but still, we try again! So this is where we are at. That is why spiritual life involves an element of struggle due to the influence of previous association with the material world.

But, just by hearing about Krsna, seeing Krsna in His deity form, chanting His name, taking prasadam or taking shelter of any other form in which Krsna manifests Himself, is enough to burn up so much of that previous karma; therefore we do change!

That verse which I used to forget a lot. It happens that you forget one line of a verse and this one, I always used to forget. Then one time, I was in Bombay and I took a taxi and the taxi-driver quoted the verse so then, I felt a little embarrassed, “Here is the swami and he couldn’t quote the verse.” I got defeated by a taxi-driver so my false-ego got to me and that worked better than my devotion because since then I can remember the verse. So, I am going to try it now, let’s see:

namno hi yavati saktih

papa-nirharane hareh

tavat kartum na saknoti

patakam pataki narah (Brhad-visnu Purana)

 

All glories to the taxi-driver! No problem, I can easily remember it! It is amazing that when you get motivated by false-ego, it is so easy and when you have to do something on the strength of pure devotion, it is a struggle! This verse says that if you chant the holy name once, you burn up more sin than you can commit in a life-time! Think about that…
