Youtube, and the whole prospectus of preaching, is to extract the gold from the filth. It is not a matter of going into the future. It is a matter of modulating the eternal present with the music of the ages, refining and refining our focus until it becomes sufficient to guide us out of this mess, back to Govinda. Constant repetition of “Hare Krsna / Rama” at the lotus feet of Srila Prabhupada will be our center and perspective. Was this useful for you? [ ]Like [ ]Dislike We love Krsna so much that we don’t want to forget Him in sleep. We don’t want to sacrifice His association to go and take time to maintain this body. “According to the devotional process, one should simply accept such religious principles that will lead ultimately to the devotional service of the Lord. One may perform a particular occupational duty according to his position in the social order, but if by executing his duty one does not come to the point of Krsna consciousness, all his activities are in vain. Anything that does not lead to the perfectional stage of Krsna consciousness should be avoided. One should be confident that in all circumstances Krsna will protect him from all difficulties. There is no need of thinking how one should keep the body and soul together. Krsna will see to that. One should always think himself helpless and should consider Krsna the only basis for his progress in life. As soon as one seriously engages himself in devotional service to the Lord in full Krsna consciousness, at once he becomes freed from all contamination of material nature.”, BG 18.66, http://vedabase.com/en/bg/18/66 On the other hand. “…and svapna means “sleep.” Sleep is also necessary to keep the intelligence in working order. If there is no sleep, the brain cannot work nicely...” SB 3.26.30, http://vedabase.com/en/sb/3/26/30 Sunday/6 Just hear! Srila Prabhupada is chanting on our cell phone. Isn’t that enough, just to hear a devotee chanting. To hear an ISKCON Brahmana chanting is immeasureable, what to speak of just hearing Srila Prabhupada chanting this Maha-mantra. “Why do we fly to other worlds we know not of, until we have exhausted the limits of the possible”, Pindar or someone like that? In our initiation letter Srila Prabhupada also made a similar comment. We have these two or three Maha-mantras, is that sufficient? Let’s chant these Maha-mantras more and more in the core of our heart at Srila Prabhupada’s lotus feet. What is the need for prolonged patrol in this material world? Should we endeavor to go back home, back to Godhead, as soon as possible? Today? Leaving this material body is not so easy. We have to give up life breathing. Chant without breathing. Give up your attachment to air. If you can give up breathing then giving up eat and drinking is already accomplished. Try to die today. Try to go to Goloka today! Hare Krsna! / Hare Rama! Why? Because it is our natural position. Can we give something to Gopal to help Him realize His new plans? Yes, then do it. Try to go to Goloka today, but Gopal is in this world as Sri Krsna-caitanya. Does He want us to help Him here through the media of this body? Still we have to purify the body of all material contamination. It has to become like a lotus growing out of the mud of the pond. Then we still must try to die today, we have to purify this physical instrument of all contaminations so that it can be a perfect electrical conduit for the energy of Lord Caitanya. Of course, that is received through His Divine Grace Srila Prabhupada. hk – hk… === = = Tue/8 - Oink! Wiggle! Wiggle! / Oink! Wiggle! Wiggle… Puja land, the place where the lotus feet of our Deity stand, and Prasadam soothes the heart. If Japa doesn’t tickle you then KRSNA, the book, is a perfect place to start. Kamsa persecuted Devaki and her husband. He was a real rascal. He was not the son of Ugrasena Maharaja. Ugrasena Maharaja’s chaste queen was raped by a demon. When she complained about this the demon was incensed. “Woman”, he gasped, “don’t you know who I am! I’m Dubb the Demon and most women would be standing in line to get a son from me and you’ve been fortunate enough to have been grasped by me without even having to beg for it!” Well Mrs. Ugrasena wasn’t too impressed by this, but what can you do?! So the bastard Kamsa was born and things were never quite the same since then. First off he killed all the other babys of Devaki he could lay his hands on and even though Devaki pointed out with tears in her eyes that this last child was a girl, and there was no need to kill her, he still tried to bash her brains in on the stone floor. This guy way a real bag of hot, stinking s#$t. Yet, so many people who were critical of this activities became his followers when they approached him to criticize him. He must have been charming. ###
