Please accept my humble obaisences

All glories to Srila Prabhupada

Since Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Prabhupadas left this material world ,so many persons wants to be put in samadhi so others can worship their dead bodies.

Srila Gaura Kisora das Babji himself had no such desire and ordered his body to be dragged all over Navadvipa ( so it would get purified in the holy dham,this was his humility)

Of course all vaisnavas… Continue

From Krishna Kathamrita Bindu issue 238

Sri Srimad Gour Govinda Swami Maharaja

Devotee 1: Some devotees say that since there are so many people coming to Krishna consciousness now, and since Srila Prabhupada said that we should become gurus, so even if we are not qualified, still, because the need is there for gurus, then we must take up the service to Srila Prabhupada of becoming a… Continue

Krishna on cleaning ones teeth before fasting: "Go brush your teeth"

dear Madhavananda Prabhu

PAMHO

AGTSP

While previously discussing fasting you made the objection how about if one got some grains stuck in his teeth before fasting on Visnutattva apperance days and next days swallows this, so I told you the teeth should be nicely cleaned.This is also the instruction of Krishna in regards to this Utpanna ekadasi and we can easy understand this is true for all fasting days where one should not take grains.

"The Supreme Lord Krishna replied,…

You told me Caitanya Nitai das was opposed that I bring Govardhana Silas to the temple on Govardhana puja( though you had requested me to do so, as the head pujari), he has become envious and poisonous against me just like a snake.I know him since he was a small boy in Gurukula in Vrindavan but he is so arrogant and puffed up

"2 sets of Yugal kisora"

In Vrindavan Krsna and Balarama are also seen as Yugal kisora, though general

it refers to Radha Krsna (see also http://kksongs.org/songs/k/krsnapremamayiradha.html ,Yugalastakam by Srila JivaGoswami

for example)

So in Vrindavan there is 2 Yugal Kisoras one is Radha Krsna and one is Krsna Balarama.

This is confirmed in Preyo Bhakti Rasarnava by Sri Nayananda Thakura…

If Radha Krsna asked you to do something would you do it?And if Srila Rupa Goswami is personally asking you?

dear devotees

Please accept my humble obaisences

The question is :If Radha Krsna asked you to do something would you do it?

Do we want to to fully control our mind and senses 24/7 as instructed by Srila Rupa Goswami who is Radha Krsnas most confidential manjari Srila Rupa Manjari.The gayatri of Srila Rupa Manjari is given… Continue

I did not agree with Gaura Govinda Maharaja about the jiva issue

Dandavat pranams

all glories to Srila Prabhupada

Gaura Govinda Maharaja was of the opinion the jiva never came from the spiritual world, however in 1995 I gave one of Srila Prabhupadas tapes to one of his disciples and asked him to comment on Srila Prabhupadas statement:

"Because we have also come down from Vaikuntha some millions and millions of years ago. Anadi karama-phale. Anadi means before the creation. We living entities, we are eternal. Even the creation is annihilated… Continue

Becoming Spiritually Masterful" 73/08/03 London, Bhagavad-gita 2.2

dear Vaisnavas

Please accept my humble obaisences

all glories to Srila Prabhupada

I like to go over few points in this lecture of Srila Prabhupada.First of all becoming a Guru is no cheap thing, also becoming a disciple is no cheap thing.

One of the preliminary qualifications of a devotee is to chant 64 rounds daily ,because this is the instruction of Lord Caitanya.There is no need to claim I am a disciple or Guru if one does not even do this much.Then there is no…
