Unwilling "Hamsas"? not paramahamsas!

[Paramananda das]

Dandavats Jaya Srila Prabhupada  Jaya Narasimhadeva Sri Prahlada Maharaja has stated:

O my Lord Nṛsiḿhadeva, by engaging in Your transcendental loving service in the association of devotees who are liberated souls [haḿsas], I shall become completely uncontaminated by the association of the three modes of material nature and be able to chant the glories of Your Lordship, who are so dear to me. I shall chant Your glories, following exactly in the footsteps of Lord Brahmā and his disciplic succession. In this way I shall undoubtedly be able to cross the ocean of nescience.    SB 7.9.19: My Lord Nṛsiḿhadeva, O Supreme, because of a bodily conception of life, embodied souls neglected and not cared for by You cannot do anything for their betterment. Whatever remedies they accept, although perhaps temporarily beneficial, are certainly impermanent. For example, a father and mother cannot protect their child, a physician and medicine cannot relieve a suffering patient, and a boat on the ocean cannot protect a drowning man.

SB 7.9.20: My dear Lord, everyone in this material world is under the modes of material nature, being influenced by goodness, passion and ignorance. Everyone — from the greatest personality, Lord Brahmā, down to the small ant — works under the influence of these modes. Therefore everyone in this material world is influenced by Your energy. The cause for which they work, the place where they work, the time when they work, the matter due to which they work, the goal of life they have considered final, and the process for obtaining this goal — all are nothing but manifestations of Your energy. Indeed, since the energy and energetic are identical, all of them are but manifestations of You.

So no one should rubberstamp I am a cent percent pure devotee in ISKCON.Lord Caitanya has advised all to chant 64 rounds daily, but who will do this? They will not even do daily Harinama and bookdistribution .They will not even chant 16 rounds and follow 4 regs and they say I am Hamsa and Paramahamsas. Yes Krsna wants all jivas to become Paramahamsas , but who is willing?

your servant

TEXT 20

vepante duritani moha-mahima sammoham alambate

    satankam nakha-ranjanim kalayati shri-citraguptah kriti

sanandam madhu-parka-sambhriti-vidhau vedhah karoty udyamam

    vaktum namni taveshvarabhilashite brumah kim anyat param

 

vepante—tremble; duritani—sins; moha—of illusion; mahima—the glory; sammoham—fainting; alambate—attains; sa—with; atankam—fear; nakha-ranjanim—the toenails; kalayati—observes; shri-citraguptah—Yamaraja’s scribe Citragupta; kriti—satisfied; sa—with; anandam—bliss; madhu-parka—water and honey; sambhriti-vidhau—in the offering; vedhah—Lord Brahma; karoti—does; udyamam—readiness; vaktum—to be spoken; namni—when the name; tava—of You; ishvara—O Supreme Personality of Godhead; abhilashite—is desired; brumah—we may say; kim—what?; anyat—else; param—more.

 

O Supreme Personality of Godhead, when someone desires to chant Your holy name, sins tremble in fear, the glory of material illusion faints unconscious, Yamaraja’s scribe Citragupta becomes happy and gazes at the chanter’s toenails with awe and reverence, and Lord Brahma prepares madhu-parka to worship him. O Lord, what more can we say than this?
