question and answer about Aindra Prabhu

Giriraja Swami asked me an important question ,this is the question and my answer:

My dear Payonidhi Prabhu,

Please accept my best wishes. All glories to Srila Prabhupada.

Exposing corruption

Exposing corruption

The first corruption that needs to exposed is anything in our hearts that is not favorable to bhakti, this can best be done

by us individually.If someone is acting as a bogus devotee and leader this needs to be exposed publicly.Srila Prabhupada

Braja Sevika writes on Dandavats.com

Thank you for FINALLY pointing out the errant use of the word “senior” in relation to Narayan Maharaja. While he may be older in years, he is the same generation as all Prabhupada’s disciples: they are, in fact, peers.

This is not a fact, Narayana Maharaja joined Gaudiya math in 1946 or so, the disciples of Srila Prabhupada joined ISKCON in minimum 1966, so there is many years of seniority of Narayana… Continue

instructions from Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Prabhupada

Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Saraswati Thakura

(1) Obtaining the shelter of the lotus feet of a genuine guru is, without a doubt, a matter of both great fortune and great dilemma for the baddha-jiva (conditioned soul). If, however, a fortunate soul has a sincere longing and ardency to attain a true guru, he does so by the mercy of Sri Krishna.

(2) The baddha-jiva is extremely insignificant; it is impossible for him to realise the magnitude of Sri Guru.

(3) One who,… Continue

Kamsahanta Dasa Prajapati Arjuna ki-jay!

my reponse:

Ouch Kamsahanta calling Arjuna (who is a very nice devotee from Germany) a prajapati is an insult, Srila Bhaktivinoda Thakura also had many children ....there is no harm for a devotee to be a grhastha and have children even many , this is done according to sastra, one sannyasi once kept telling grhastha's when they had children they had become "busy " shortly after that he got busy himself in… Continue

why Krsna becomes Gauranga

Why Krsna Became Gauranga Mahaprabhu

by Sri Srimad Gour Govinda Swami Maharaja

Two Kinds of Maya

Two mayas are there. One is Maha-maya, that is to say, the illusionary energy, and the other is Yoga-maya. Yoga means that which gives you an opportunity to go to Krsna. That is Yoga-maya. That which prevents, that is viyoga-maya or Maha-maya. Yoga means union. Viyoga means separation. So there are two mayas.

Viyoga-maya or Maha-maya is working in the…

They will be punished to become a sudra.

.Prabhupada, Geneva, June 4, 1974:There are twelve authorities mentioned in the sastra. One of them is Yamaraja. Balir vaiyasakir vayam. This is stated in the Srimad-Bhagavatam. Yamaraja is one of the GBC of Krsna. Yes. As we have got twelve GBC’s, similarly Krsna has got GBC’s. Now,
