Gopal and Sally Agarwal, an elderly couple who played a significant role in ISKCON’s origins. They are forever etched in the devotees’ collective memory as two of the Western world’s earliest recipients of Srila Prabhupada’s mercy. It was the Agarwals who hosted him in the fall of 1965, before ISKCON was even nominally born, giving him shelter, hospitality, friendship, and love. Indeed, for one month their home served as Prabhupada’s earliest refuge outside India. Read more ›

The post On entering Vrndavana I asked one of our passengers “Aren’t you sometimes ashamed to be Indian?” appeared first on SivaramaSwami.com.

In our temples we have no capacity to give shelter to all the people. House holder devotees have so many possessions, like their old father, mother, young children, land, cows and bulls. They cannot join the temple with all of these things. If they stay in their homes and do business or whatever, householder devotees can follow the rules and regulations, chanting Hare Krishna and a couple of times in a week gather together for a Nama-hatta program. Every day they will do their activities in their own house and in the evening they join together and do evening program where they can do aroti, Bhagavad-gita class, chanting harinama and prasada distribution. This is called maha milan. Read more ›

Sharp Words For Truth Seekers

If, through yoga, the mind can be trained, then the mind is our friend. But if the mind is left untrained, then there is no possibility of leading a successful life. For one who has no idea of spiritual life, the mind is the enemy. If one thinks that he is simply the body, his mind will not be working for his benefit; it will simply be acting to serve the gross body and to further condition the living entity and entrap him in material nature. If, however, one understands one’s position as spirit soul apart from the body, the mind can be a liberating factor. In itself, the mind has nothing to do; it is simply waiting to be trained, and it is best trained through association. Desire is the function of the mind, and one desires according to his association; so if the mind is to act as a friend, there must be good association.

The best association is a sadhu or one who is striving for spiritual realization. There are those who are striving for temporary things. Matter and the body are temporary, and if one only engages himself for bodily pleasure, he is conditioned by temporary things. But if he engages in self-realization, then he is engaged in something permanent. Obviously if one is intelligent he will associate with those who are trying to elevate themselves to the platform of self-realization through one of the various forms of yoga. The result will be that those who are sadhu, or realized, will be able to sever their attachments to material association. This is the great advantage of good association. For instance, Krishna spoke Bhagavad Gita to Arjuna just to cut off his material attachments. Because Arjuna is attracted to things that are impeding the execution of his duty, Krishna severs these things.

To cut something, a sharp instrument is required; and to cut the mind from its attachments, sharp words may be required. The sadhu or teacher will sometimes use sharp words to sever the student’s mind from material attractions. By speaking the truth uncompromisingly, he is able to sever the bondage. If we actually want detachment from this material world, we should be willing to accept cutting words from the spiritual master. Compromise and flattery have no effect where strong words are required.

High Rises Lead to High Rise in Disease

The number of cancer patients who are diagnosed annually is expected to nearly double in the next two decades, according to a recent report by the World Health Organization. The projected increase will be from 14 million new cases annually to 25 million new cases annually worldwide.

Carcinogens are all around us today. They are in the water we drink, the air we breathe, the food we eat, in the cupboard of chemicals you use to clean your home with, in the makeup your wife/girlfriend puts on, etc. In the past, one may have had to make an effort to come in contact with them; now it is hard, perhaps even impossible, to avoid.

Those who are concerned over this tiding and intelligent, undiluted by the mood of docility and fear in society, may have asked why this is happening, who is responsible, how can it be counteracted….

Despite clearly making imprudent decisions, modern society still fails to learn or fails to keep up with the learning curb of Mother Nature. Inside the closed door boardrooms of our leaders, decisions are made which impact the entire world, but which are meant to benefit only a minority. Their apologies for misbehavior and promises of change are pleasing to the ear only, and do not carry enough integrity to right a wrong. These are the twilight times of the industrial ‘devolution’; and problems for everyone on this planet have been cataclysmically increasing since its inception. Indeed, by trying to control nature due to greed and lust for more of nature’s resources, more problems have been created with only very limited, and fleeting success.

Perhaps most horrific about the future of the universal problems the modern humanoid has to deal with today, is that they come from individuals, the frontiersmen of a new tomorrow, who had good intentions. They used their intelligence to innovate something which they believed would be helpful. They believed in their own subjective version of the utopian dream (i.e. the belief that what’s good for me is ultimately good); and under this presumption, those people who are lionized as ambitious, progressive, and downright normal are selfishly engaged at trying to titillate their senses better than ever at the cost of the welfare of all other living entities.

When will the next seemingly pious innovator ‘help’ us by adding one more nail to our coffins? They are just giving more rope by which people are tirelessly hanging themselves on – a society of babies that try to chew on whatever shiny new toy is given to them.
It is no wonder, from a perspective of common sensibility (perhaps ‘uncommon’ sensibility is more apropos here), that malefic causes such as GMOs, fluoride, the meat packing/slaughterhouse industry, etc. result in malefic effects. The cause and effect cannot be divorced because of some romantic or utopian dream of a happier world.

Srila A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada, a saint and social reformer, commented on this in the 1970’s, before the vast industrialization of the East as we know it today.

“Simply a little high standard of living and they think this is advancement. And the Western civilization is influencing all other parts of the world in that way… There is no improvement, but it is maya [illusion]; they are thinking, ‘This is improvement… The progress is that they have got motorcar, and they have progressed how to die quickly… Formerly they were satisfied by tilling the ground, getting food grains. Now they have started factories. At the cost of thousands of men’s labor, some director is getting money and enjoying life.’”

If we want to make true advancement in the way of human life, we need to progress in the highest human sentiment – the human consciousness. Then true happiness and peace comes. But how much benefit does one accrue by living in a luxury high rise building but having the mentality and diseases of a rat? Indeed, to speculate and justify that our unending personal motivations for an ever-increasingly sweeter material lifestyle will not duly cause harm to us or to those around us is dangerously stupid.

SMS Your Cares Away?

We live in an over-communicated world. Good etiquette insists we reply to all text messages within 10 minutes, be mindful of the mountain of emails building up in our inbox, and unfailingly return all ‘missed calls’ on our phones. Don’t forget to regularly post something witty on Facebook, follow your best friends on twitter and utilize all the free airtime minutes on your contract! It is, after all, good to talk. But what is the net result of this web of exchange? Does it bring a greater sense of relationship and community? Is it a case of being more connected, but further apart?

Silence, it’s said, is the art of conversation. We often struggle with a quiet moment. When it does arise, most will instinctively grab their phone in a drastic attempt to engage their mind. To see someone sitting and doing absolutely nothing is rare! Even more unusual is to be with another person and not say anything. It feels awkward and uneasy. Yet silence is imperative – it forces us to understand, assimilate, reflect and think deeply about what is actually going on. Oftentimes, however, in order to frantically fill those redundant moments we often end up generating substandard content to share with the world: meaningless, speculative and shoddy communication.

Don’t get me wrong, there is definitely room for chitchat, niceties, and light-hearted exchange between humans. It would be unnatural to jump to the other extreme of strictly regulating our every word. The Bhagavad Gita, however, offers the over-arching model to guide speech. Words, Krishna recommends, should be truthful, pleasing and beneficial. How much of our written and verbal communication would make it through this filter? Along with freedom of speech, it may be worthwhile to remind people of their longstanding right to freedom of thought.

“Wise men speak because they have something to say; fools because they have to say something” (Plato).

Leave Your Duplicity at the Cash Register

A short time ago while walking I found a badly wounded heron bird. Realizing I was right by a nature and wildlife preserve center I hurriedly and gently grabbed the bird in my sweater and headed towards the building. As I approached I thought, “Ah, how perfect, this center is actively protecting the wildlife every day. They will definitely want to help.”

I rushed through the front door and was met with an older woman dressed in her uniform sitting behind a desk. She looked begrudgingly at the heron and sat impatiently through my story of how I came to find the bird. After I finished, she imperiously looked away and back again and replied rather colorlessly, “Sorry, but we don’t deal with that here.” I was then shooed out the front and told to “google” another solution.

Did You Find Everything All Right?

It seems to be a common trend in society for persons to take on various external duties, but when a situation arises that requires a genuine call-of-action; one may not have the inner conviction to sincerely follow through.

Have you ever gotten to the checkout stand at a store and been given the routine question, “Hi, did you find everything all right?” When really the cashier is thinking: when will my shift be over and I can go home?! If you answer anything other than a compliant “Yes,” you will get a bewildered look and a reluctant answer.

Also, maybe it’s just a southern California thing, but how many times have you ran into someone you knew and in a disoriented manner, greeted and exchanged phrases such as, “dude, we should totally hang out,” “yeah, totally, let’s do it!” “I’ll have to call ya,” “For sure, can’t wait!” And nothing ever manifests from that exchange. We may feign, “Oh I miss you!” but never make any attempt to contact the “missed” person. Youth culture today is definitely saturated with such aforesaid flakiness and superficiality. Do we really mean what we say? Actions speak louder than words.

These are a few small scale examples, but if you open up any newspaper you will find countless large scale versions of the same principle. We are living in a duplicitous world of hypocrisy, where what we say fails to align with our inner world and external actions.

Old Habits Die Hard

As I reflect deeper, I have to ask: what is hypocrisy and am I guilty of it?

The definition according to google dictionary is: “the practice of claiming to have moral standards or beliefs to which one’s own behavior does not conform; pretense.” In modern language we can say, one who does not “walk their talk.”

This tendency to have a certain belief structure, while doing something which opposes that belief structure also comes up in one’s spiritual quest. As a sincere spiritual seeker there are constant challenges to face. When we are confronted with certain spiritual truths or principles which necessitate giving up certain activities or taking on new ones, are we ready to align ourselves?

In order to accomplish such a task, dedication to truth over relative comfort and gratification is compulsory. It is not enough to merely say or “believe” in something without acting on it. If you put on the dress of a police officer; yet don’t protect and serve the citizens, but instead cause them harm, then what good are you doing for yourself and for others? Such duplicity only produces confusion and distress. On the contrary, building our character and spiritual integrity actually offers the greatest benefit to all.

It may seem like a daunting task – as it is said, “old habits die hard.” But actually, great pleasure can be found in aligning with higher spiritual principles. In fact, great yogis and aspiring spiritualists accept such challenges with great ecstasy.

The Bhagavad Gita gives a beautiful gem of wisdom in this regard. There are two different types of pleasure. One is like poison in the beginning but like nectar at the end. And one is like nectar in the beginning but ends up just like poison.

The latter is happiness which is derived from contact of the senses with their objects. In other words, eating three bowls of ice cream is pleasurable in the beginning, but in the end you feel horrible! Contrast that to the former, which is a type of happiness that comes from the process of self-realization and character development. For example, say you are beginning the path to living a pure life, but you’re addicted to cigarettes. To give that up in order to continue on the path of purity can be extremely difficult and feel awful. But once you rid yourself from that habit, much joy and benefit is reaped.

The Invisible Anchor

Once you can distinguish between these two different types of pleasure then you must be honest with yourself. What kind of pleasure are you looking for in life? That which inevitably depletes you or that which gives renewed strength and inner satisfaction? Then when you are honest, you can begin to gauge whether your actions are actually representing the convictions you claim. Otherwise it’s like having a boat with the anchor down below while trying to paddle forward. It just doesn’t work; you will never get anywhere like that! We shouldn’t adapt our spiritual path to our level of comfort; rather, we should adjust ourselves so as to become spiritually fit to paddle forth.

To embark on the spiritual quest means to pull up this anchor of hypocrisy and accept personal change in order to reach your desired destination.

When, accepting a vow of poverty, and always remaining in a solitary place in Vrndavana, which is worshipped even by the demigods, will I worship the splendid couple, Sri Sri Radhika-Madhava, with great ecstatic love?

Watched the first episode of Cosmos: A Spacetime Odyssey

…loved it.

But then I’m comfortable with a few givens:

1) Its a TV show

So, I don’t demand that it be clinically rigorous by scientific standards. Clinical rigor just doesn’t mix with entertainment.

2) Its an evangelical piece, produced by the “church of science”

It’s meant to get people into science. So, I don’t demand it to be very aware of and fair towards perspectives outside their own.

3) Its from a western branch of that church

So I don’t demand that it accurately represent the history, philosophy, and religion of other cultures very often or very accurately.

If you can also accept these three caveats, I’m pretty sure you can also really enjoy the show, learn a lot from it, and be truly inspired by it. Even if, like me, you are immersed in an Eastern branch of mystical sciences and deal with things on a rigorous epistemological basis.

Some points in the first episode that positively surprised me:

Neil Tyson literally said (and the visuals dramatically illustrated) that maybe “every universe is a bubble in an ocean of causality” (causality may not have been the exact word). Wow, That’s verbatim puranic cosmology!

He openly admitted that the origin of life is unknown to science – an “unsolved mystery,” and even said that it might come from somewhere outside the known system. Well, he said it might originate from “somewhere else in the milky way” – but essentially it demonstrates that its reasonable by modern empirical standards to posit that the origin of life is entirely outside the known – observable system – which is the vedāntic paradigm.

The Cartoon of Bruno

I didn’t find the portrayal of religion distasteful because they specified that it was Christianity and the Roman Catholic church, and they went to lengths to positively include the spiritual content of Bruno’s thoughts. I thought it was odd that they picked Bruno to concentrate so much on, but in the end they did admit that Bruno was not a scientist.

I’m looking forward to the rest of it. Its like watching a really well researched science fiction movie, and thats always good in my book.

(Kadamba Kanana Swami, 01 January 2014, Mayapur, India, Caitanya Caritamrta Seminar)

Lord Caitanya was found to be in an ecstatic state of consciousness, chanting the name, gopi, gopi, gopi! It is said that Lord Caitanya, at that time, had entered into the mood of Srimati Radharani, who was in a disturbed state of consciousness, angry with Krsna due to suspected infidelity. 

Nimai Pundit, in that mood, was chanting gopi, gopi, gopi! A brahmana student arrived at the time and said, “What are you doing, chanting gopi, gopi, gopi? You should be chanting Krsna, Krsna, Krsna!”

Sri Krsna Mahaprabhu, in that mood of anger towards Krsna, became upset when he heard Krsna’s name and chased the brahmana with a stick. The brahmana, also upset, ran away and was ready to mobilise a whole group of students to beat up Nimai and teach him a lesson.

So Nimai thought, ” I’ve come to deliver people in this age and now they are making so many offences towards me, because they are being disrespectful.” And he decided that he would take sannyasa so that people would respect him.

Rasa Rasika dasa

In my personal opinion, this question is a tough one to answer. I say this because today religion is so many things for so many people. There is no one definition of religion. Perhaps a broad definition could be anything to do with God or belief in a God could be identified as religion.  All religions at the least operate on this definition.

Let me rephrase my question then – “does belief in God make the world a better place?”

Based on incidents in the 20th and 21st century, I have to say belief in a God invokes so much passion among people or groups of people that that passion is the hotbed for hatred, violence and bigotry. How can hatred and violence make the world a better place? Any objective person who looks solely at data will have to conclude the belief in God causes more damage than good.

So we are left with two choices (1) abandon religion and live a life based on one’s own internal values (2) dive deeper into the problem, analyze and learn from it. Personally, I think the world would be a better place if we practice the second option. The first option does not solve anything as there is no individual growth. People with opposite values is always the source of friction.

Srila Prabhupada once said that if there is counterfeit money then it implies there must be the original – so search for the original. Similarly religion can make the world a better place if we go deeper from believing in God to finding God. One who has found God in his life will not have the urge to find anything else of this world. In such a state, there is no internal agitation of mind what to speak of causing external agitation? In such a peaceful state, the seeker will find everlasting happiness.

So yes belief in God or religion will make the world a better place only if we use it to rectify our own internal faults and in that state of humility seek God. There is no other value system (be it civic or political or moral) that can help us transcend our own limitations in search of a higher truth. Only religion or search for God can set us free from our inner mind to which we are bound. Thus knowing the truth, we can be free from the shackles of bondage.

It was powerful to be singing about Lord Caitanya with eight other devotees who were performing the austerity of taking a 33-hour train ride from Mumbai to Howrah, enroute to His glorious birthplace. I was happy that the Lord had brought us all together to sing for Him, and also to benefit everyone else in the carriage with the transcendental sound. Read more ›

Rtadhvaja Swami: When I was dealing with the AT&T customer service representative, after answering my initial question my phone, she asked if I had any more questions. I said, “I do have a question that is troubling me. Now I have a 61 year old body, but I remember when I had a 6 year old body. I guess that means I am the consciousness that has experienced different bodies. There must be a supreme consciousness beyond this, and I am wondering how to connect with that.” She replied that is the most amazing thing that she had ever heard, but she agreed about the point of changing bodies, saying that it was also her experience.

GAURA PURNIMA meaning GOLDEN FULL MOON which signifies lord Caitanya appeared during full moon night by taking the golden complexion of Radha Rani to bless everyone without any discrimination based on background or spiritual qualification with His soothing moonlike rays of His sublime teachings. Those who witnessed the pastimes of lord Caitanya, saw Him dance and chant with ecstatic love for God,the likes of which had never been seen before. Sri Caitanya's teachings cover three principal topics:     *Knowledge of soul's relationship with Krishna     *The method of awakening that relationship and     *The awakened state of that relationship(pure love of God) He predicted that nama sankirtana would spread in every town and village.  "Param vijayate sri-krsna-sankirtanam"  "SIKSASTAKAM",The eight instructions of Lord Sri CAITANYA should be followed by everyone in order to become a pure devotee.
