Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Prabhupadas last instructions

[Paramananda das]

dear devotees

please accept my humble obaisences

All glories to Srila Prabhupada

 Ramabhadra Prabhu was refering to Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Prabhupadas article about how there is no need of reformers.(reformers reform yourself)

However I like to add Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Prabhupada himself was the biggest reformer and so was all our acaryas and Srila

Prabhupada.So does the bucket stop with them, certainly not, reform is always needed.Just like here for New Years evening

many persons in the western world makes some reforms to their life ,tying to better themselves,similarly as servants 

of the servants servants and so on of Lord Caitanya we should also try to to reform our consciousness to become more KC.

This is the mission. of Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Prabhupada, his last instructions does not show his lack of uncompromising 

spirit.

One of his very important instructions is to daily chant 64 rounds.Will we reform and try to come up to the high 

level expected from us by our Param Guru Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Prabhupada.ISKCON is not a movement of "Pope"s unwilling to 

reform their selfish ways, anything that is not favorable for bhakti we have to reject in our private lives 

and as an institution,this will please Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Prabhupada.Srila Prabhupada often stated if we 

execute KC properly we wilt get the blessings of his Guru Maharaja

To not preach is envy ,this is another important instruction of Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Prabhupada, he wanted to see devotees

preach to the world of nondevotees, this is the mission Srila Prabhupada has given all us members of ISKCON (SB 7.9.44)

Since Lord Caitanya instructed all devotees to chant 64 rounds daily personally and through Srila Rupa Goswami to not 

do  also constitutes of envy towards the Divine couple, so we have lots to reform untill we can become worthy of the title

vaisnava

The Standard of Living in Gaudiya Math

by Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Saraswati Thakur Prabhupada

Please preach the kirtana of the Supreme Lord, even if in doing so you have to incur debt; then in order to pay off that debt, you will have to be even more engaged in seva. When your creditors put pressure on you, you will be forced to beg more alms. Again, as the pious householders will not give you alms unless your character and conduct are pure, you will be forced to preserve a pure lifestyle with great determination and care. I will not leave one penny for you, so that in future you won't indulge in laziness and you won't be able to give up your devotional lives full of hari-kirtana and hari-seva.

The math is the center of hari-kirtana, and hari-kirtana is life and consciousness. To ensure that there is no place for laziness, bad conduct, trivial thought, gossip, or vulgar desire in the math, you have to go from door to door, where your hari-kirtana will be tested by the public. When the public will think that they are the givers of alms and you are the receiver of alms—in other words, that their status is higher than yours—they will critizice you in many ways, thinking you are objects of their mercy. Perhaps some of them will also be ready to kick you out. Then, on one hand, you will be able to become trnad api sunicha (humbler than a blade of grass) and manada (respectful to others), and on the other hand, you will take great care to make your lives and characters pure and exemplary. Furthermore, what will be beneficial for you is this: as you will correct the mistakes of the common people by citing the message of sadhu, sastra, and guru-varga, you will not make those same mistakes.

Please do not be upset if someone criticizes you personally. But your guru-varga, sastra, and mahajanas are completely faultless, supremely liberated, and eternal associates of the Lord. If, due to ignorance, someone criticizes them, then you should correct that person's mistakes by telling them the real truth. This will be very beneficial for both you and the ignorant people. If you become lazy about begging for alms from door to door to collect ingredients for hari-kirtana, and if you indulge in laziness and bad habits, preferring reclusive bhajan so you can escape others' criticism, then your character will not be purified. You will not have the life of devotional practice. I will never give you any opportunity to live in a reclusive place so that you can become undisciplined in your heart, thinking no one will come to see or hear you there. You are my dear-most friends. I will never allow you to give up the path of pleasing the senses of the Lord so you can please the senses of the people of the world, as well as your own, because you received some temporary position or you could not tolerate some temporary criticism.

Below is the Upadesavali the last instructions of Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Prabhupada

http://www.dharmakshetra.com/articles/The%20Upadesavali%20Of%20Sri%...

 
OM-TAT-SAT

Upadesavali of Sri Srimad Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Prabhupada 

"Param vijayate sri-krsna-sankirtanam 
Supreme victory to the congregational chanting of Krsna’s names" 
The Brahma-Madhva-Gaudiya Sampradaya's 
sole object of worship.

Sri Krsna, who is the visaya-vigraha or the object of the devotee’s prema, is the sole enjoyer, and all others are to be enjoyed by Him.

Those who don't perform Hari-bhajana are ignorant and murderers of their own soul.

The acceptance of Harinama and direct realization of Bhagavan are one and the same.

Those who equate the demigods with Visnu are unable to serve Bhagavan.

Establishing a printing press to print devotional books and preaching by organizing Nama Hatta programs constitutes genuine service to Sri Mayapur.

We are not doers of good or bad deeds, nor are we scholars or illiterate. Carrying the shoes of Hari's pure devotees is our duty, we are initiates into the mantra "kirtaniya sada hari".

Preaching without following proper conduct falls within the category of karma, mundane activity. Without criticizing the nature of others, one should correct one's self - this is my personal instruction.

Serving the Vrajavasis who felt great separation from Krsna when He left Vraja to reside in Mathura is our supreme constitutional occupation.

If we desire to follow an auspicious course in life, then disregarding the theories of even countless people we should hear instructions only from a transcendental source.

Life as an animal, bird, insect, or any other of the countless thousands of species is acceptable, but taking shelter of deceit is thoroughly improper. Only an honest person possesses real auspiciousness.

Simple heartedness is synonymous with Vaisnavism. Servants of a paramahamsa Vaisnava should be simple-hearted, a quality which makes them the topmost brahmanas.

Helping to draw conditioned souls away from their perverted attachment to this material energy is the greatest compassion. If even one soul is rescued from maha-maya's fortress, that compassionate act is infinitely more benevolent than the construction of unlimited hospitals.

We have not come to this world to be construction workers; we are the bearers of Sri Caitanyadeva's instructions.

We will not remain in this world for long, and by profusely performing Hari-kirtan, upon relinquishing these material bodies we will experience the ultimate reward of embodied life.

The foot-dust of Sri Rupa Goswami, the fulfiller of Sri Caitanyadeva's inner desires is our life's sole desired object.

If I were to desist from lecturing about the Absolute Truth due to being fearful that some listeners may be displeased, I would be deviating from the path of Vedic truth and accepting the path of untruth. I would become one who is inimical to the Vedas, an atheist, and would no longer possess faith in Bhagavan, the very embodiment of Truth.

Krsna's darsan can only be attained through the medium of the ear as one hears Hari-katha from pure Vaisnavas; there is no other way.

Wherever Hari-katha is being spoken is a holy place.

Proper sravana, hearing, is accomplished through the medium of kirtan, and this will give one the good opportunity to practice smarana, remembrance. Then internal experience of rendering direct service to the astakaliya-lila, Sri Radha-Krsna's pastimes in each of the eight parts of the day, becomes possible.

We should understand that the loud calling out of Krsna's names is bhakti.

Bhagavan will not accept anything, that is offered by a person who doesn't chant Harinam one-hundred thousand times daily (1 lakh of names).

By sincerely endeavoring to chant Harinam without offences and remaining fixed in chanting constantly, one's offences will fade and pure Harinam will arise on the tongue.

As mundane thoughts arise while taking Harinam, one should not become discouraged. A secondary consequence of taking Harinam is that these useless mundane thoughts will gradually dissipate; therefore one should not worry about this. By dedicating one's mind, body, and words to serving Sri Nama and continuing to chant with great persistence, Sri Nama Prabhu will grant one darsan of His supremely auspicious transcendental form. And by continuing to chant until one's anarthas are fully eradicated by the power of Sri Nama realization of His form, qualities and pastimes will automatically arise.
