I Am The Servant Of God’s Servant

Hear me my dear friends
our love never ends
to ever heal and mend
and lift us to transcend.

Simply believe the truth
we are loving servants me and you
within ourselves is all the proof
see within is all you have to do.

By hearing from him fully awake
to our love beyond this poison lake
Srila Prabhupada his most divine grace
reveals the path we must embrace.

Everyone pray to Srila Prabhupada
please take me on the path you trod
please accept me as your sold out dog
and let me hear your words from God.

Yes everyone pray to Prabhupada
O you who are fully self realized
I beg you please force open my eyes
to see whats seen by the pure and wise.

Pray O dearest preacher of Krishna God
Ac Bhaktivedanta Swami Srila Prabhupada
living in your law books to reveal our job
please kindly help me rise beyond all odds.

Pray O most worshipable guru of the universe
please let me hear all your most important words
so this ocean of suffering we may easily traverse
we must know in our hearts you always come first.

Yes pray O servant of the servant of Lord Krishna
O my dear eternal father and ever well wisher
we are fully dedicated to you birth after birth
to you ordered by Krishna to reveal our life’s worth.

No don’t stop praying our life is a prayer
to set the perfect example of living everywhere
by simply following our savior who loudly declares
just you obey Krishna’s laws with no faults or errors.

Yes life is a prayer we must live with great care
not waisting a moment for we have no time to spare
this is the sincerity to Krishna we must manifest
by just studying Prabhupada’s life most greatly blessed.

Born in to a family of pure devotee parents
he was enabled to appear to us pure and transperent
as the external manifestation of God or Krishna 
to train disciples how to leave this material existence.

Prabhupada was sent here by Lord Krishna above
to reveal to the world perfectly pure unalloyed love 
for he lives in his words, real disciples and pictures
and his purely translated authentic Vedic scriptures.

I believe it was Lord Jesus who revealed Him to me
because of my prayers for illumination most desperately
Lord Jesus entered my heart when I prayed for him to
and from there real life did start when I knew he was true.

Real life begins when we know them beyond sin
for us to aim in the only direction to win
over the obstacles that we have in this place
having forgotten Krishna we fell from grace.

And thus our only hope is Prabhupada’s scope
purely passed down through a pure disciplic succession
he sees always the Lord who must not be ignored
so possesses the full power to give perfect directions.

In conclusion my dear godbrothers and sisters
its our duty to bless souls with Prabhupada’s assistance
by knowing and distributing his books his greatest wishes
we are blessing the world with the world’s greatest riches.

And its best we cooperate as much as we can together
because Prabhupada said that is how we show him our love
he said we are his limbs that make all possible for him
so if we think were not his limbs is that not a sin?

He said Iskcon is me but is it really now
since Prabhupada departed us please tell me how?
it seems iskcon was stolen like Sita from Ramachandra
so now we have fake iskcon now fallen into blunder.

We know its only those who take Prabhupada seriously
who know just what happened not at all mysteriously
and behold it reveals even in our sacred scriptures
that all goes down when gone is the pure servant of Krishna.

But that is only for those who think he is gone
for Prabhupada’s real servants forever he lives on
most strongly through his texts he makes his readers blessed
to know our real problems are repeated births and deaths.

And so now its up to us to give up anger greed and lust
and come together to show the world our real must
we must wake up to see all life is one family under God
and our differences are illusions to behave just like dogs.

Yes we must take most seriously Lord Gauranga’s wake up call
and parade through the streets to spread God’s names to all
and trust all is possible when we perform this sacrifice
all wars can be diverted and the world can be paradise.

But if we remain asleep we only call all disaster
we heard this loudly preached by our spiritual master
if he had a few sincere disciples this world could be saved
but being absorbed in Maya this world becomes a grave.

One pure devotee Prabhupada said can save a universe
like most humble Jayananda always most eager to serve
he did not put down his fallen brothers he fed them prasad
and was always busy in the service of Srila Prabhupada.

This is our duty to praise pure devotees like him
who show us the way Prabhupada’s full mercy we win
everyone who met him loved him baring not his absense
this is the nature of the one who truly spiritually advances.

Now in seperation of Prabhupada I can’t help but beg
please return to me you made me live and know what is dead.
I now realize my most glorious days was when you were here
when oh when will I realize you really never disappeared.

I have no love nor devotion drowning in material emotion
still by remembering you I feel I’m stepping in a nectar ocean
please push me on O all victorious servant of Bhagavan
so I stop being like a crow and become just like a swan.

All I see is faults I can not see the good in all
like you could see to engage us in the service of Gopal
if not for you I would not be striving the right direction
because by the grace of God I saw in you all perfection.

Yes just because I saw you time then did stand still
you revealed to me a divine person is very very real
with out you Prabhupada I would only follow my mind
to nothing but distractions from life’s very goal divine.

So I beg you please stay with this cripple minded freak
and with you I believe I’ll climb the highest mountain peak
and overcome all obstacles to surrender to Krishna’s feet
but with out you I must most sadly remain in bed asleep.

Thank you for giving me something good to say
please come in closer is all that I can pray
please send your good servants to inspire me on
I can not stand alone with out going wrong.

I pray my readers got your blessings here
as I lean on you to speak what all must hear
the real purpose to life completely clear
chant Krishna’s holy names fully sincere.

Sincere meaning Lord engage me for Your pleasure
so I may realize life’s most precious treasure
service unto You my real love for ever and for ever
to know my real pleasure that grows forever better.

Hare Krishna Hare Krishna
Krishna Krishna Hare Hare
Hare Rama Hare Rama
Rama Rama Hare Hare

Again we must thank Srila Prabhupada
for bringing us together to come closer to God
please do not leave me my most precious friends
I pray I did you service with a love to never end.

The Benefit Of Distributing Books

How Many Persons are Benefitted from Book Distribution?

Srila Prabhupada: Whoever gets a book is benefitted. If he reads the book he is benefitted still more, or if he gives the book to someone else for reading, both he and the other person is benefitted. Even if one does not read the book but simply holds if and sees it, he is benefitted. If he simply gives small donation towards the work of Krsna consciousness he is benefitted. And anyone who distributes these transcendental literatures, he is also benefitted.

(Letter to: German Disciples — Bombay May 6, 1977)

Our Only Misfortune

Our only misfortune
is we forgot our dear most friend
who assist us with everything
and teaches how to transcend.

Lord Krishna is everything
and at the same time aloof
our inconcievable friend
the supreme absolute truth.

With out accepting He’s inconcievable
you can’t understand Him at all
although you can never fully understand Him
our unlimited Friend Lord Gopal.

It is only by His servant’s intervention
Krishna sends here from above
that we may know of our only perfection
by Krishna’s servant’s pure love.

Our perfection starts with hearing
the transcendental sound vibration
from the mouth of pure devotee
who is the guru of civilization.

This perfection is knowing our dearest friend
Who resides in every soul’s heart
Who makes everything possible we desire
and of Him we are an eternal spark.

Only when we speak this truth
we gradually realize its proof
by the purification of its sound
so kindly spread it all around.

For this truth is nothing new
it is eternally a part of me and you
as eternal divine loving servants of Krishna
our dearest friend Whose always with us.

Our very souls are full of bliss and wisdom
because we are parts and parcels of Krishna
but everyone is small before Lord Gopal
and only for that reason it’s possible to fall.

And because we did fall we forgot all
therefor we need to urgently call
always on Krishna’s all powerful names
to wake up our souls to our love again.

Everyone here seeks their love
because love is all we are part of
but we are seeking the wrong place
because we need His divine grace.

Ac Bhaktivedanta Swami Srila Prabhupada
carries perfectly the torch leading back to God
living in his lawbooks to guide human kind
to force open the eyes now spiritually blind.

Now we can not see our future
for we need the eyes of Vedic scripture
now we can not see Krishna or God
because we need to follow Prabhupad.

The very breathing of Lord Krishna
are the eternal Vedic scriptures
but we need Krishna’s servant’s help
in order to get the proper picture.

Everyone is already getting perfect guidance
but we need now Prabhupada to know the very science
of percieving the wisdom everywhere and in our hearts
Krishna says approaching the guru is where knowledge starts.

Still without humility we will only meet futility
we must first admit we are total fools
and when we seek sincerely with all our ability
Lord Krishna all kind will send us our guru.

We must be careful not to seek for something cheap
something that is impossible to really ever keep
when reality itself is divine and eternally deep
and we’re currently unaware because we are asleep.

Lord Krishna fulfills our every desire
so we must learn lessons not wanting Him none higher
and that is why now we are in great illusion Maya
believing we are these bodies and in their lusty fire.

Still there is release if we seek eternal peace
but we will be cheated if we seek something cheap
but if we want wisdom we’ll get Prabhupada to lead
us beyond all miseries to Lord Krishna’s lotus feet.

And so take great care and fill your life with prayer
is the advice of your real friends most wise and rare
we do not a thing without the sanction of Him supreme
and unaware of this we are truly living in a dream.

And because this most sadly is the case
we are desperately in need of his divine grace
Srila Prabhupada only hope for the human race
we must pray to him from the most humble place.

I am lower than the worms in stool
is the mentality of the greatest sage
I am always a fool before you Prabhupada
please force open my eyes and guide my ways.

Nothing I wrire here is my imagination
I am simply repeating him in full self realization
please stay in my heart and drag me back home
my dearest Srila Prabhupada I feel all alone.

Please Prabhupada bless me to always chant
Krishna’s holy names to destroy all my offenses
please surround me with your strict disciples
so I may witness all your unlimited blessings.

mathurāte pāṭhāila rūpa-sanātana

dui senā-pati kaila bhakti pracāraṇa

SYNONYMS


mathurāte
—toward Mathurā; pāṭhāila—sent; rūpa-sanātana—the two brothers Rūpa Gosvāmī and Sanātana Gosvāmī; dui—both of them; senā-pati—as commanders in chief; kaila—He made them; bhakti—devotional service; pracāraṇa—to broadcast.


TRANSLATION

Lord Caitanya dispatched the two generals Rūpa Gosvāmī and Sanātana Gosvāmī to Vṛndāvana to preach the bhakti cult.


PURPORT

When Rūpa Gosvāmī and Sanātana Gosvāmī went to Vṛndāvana, there was not a single temple, but by their preaching they were gradually able to construct various temples. Sanātana Gosvāmī constructed the Madana-mohana temple, and Rūpa Gosvāmī constructed the Govindajī temple. Similarly, their nephew Jīva Gosvāmī constructed the Rādhā-Dāmodara temple, Śrī Gopāla Bhaṭṭa Gosvāmī constructed the Rādhā-ramaṇa temple, Śrī Lokanātha Gosvāmī constructed the Gokulānanda temple, and Śyāmānanda Gosvāmī constructed the Śyāmasundara temple. In this way, many temples were gradually constructed. For preaching, construction of temples is also necessary. The Gosvāmīs not only engaged in writing books but also constructed temples because both are needed for preaching work. Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu wanted the cult of His saṅkīrtana movement to spread all over the world. Now that the International Society for Krishna Consciousness has taken up this task of preaching the cult of Lord Caitanya, its members should not only construct temples in every town and village of the globe but also distribute books that have already been written and further increase the number of books. Both distribution of books and construction of temples must continue side by side in parallel lines.

PURPORT

In the Gaura-gaṇoddeśa-dīpikā, verse 195, it is said that Śrīla Jīva Gosvāmī was formerly Vilāsa-mañjarī gopī. From his very childhood Jīva Gosvāmī was greatly fond of Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam. He later came to Navadvīpa to study Sanskrit, and, following in the footsteps of Śrī Nityānanda Prabhu, he circumambulated the entire Navadvīpa-dhāma. After visiting Navadvīpa-dhāma he went to Benares to study Sanskrit under Madhusūdana Vācaspati, and after finishing his studies in Benares he went to Vṛndāvana and took shelter of his uncles, Śrī Rūpa and Sanātana. This is described in the Bhakti-ratnākara. As far as our information goes, Śrīla Jīva Gosvāmī composed and edited at least twenty-five books. They are all very celebrated, and they are listed as follows: (1) Hari-nāmāmṛta-vyākaraṇa, (2) Sūtra-mālikā, (3) Dhātu-saṅgraha, (4) Kṛṣṇārcā-dīpikā, (5) Gopāla-virudāvalī, (6) Rasāmṛta-śeṣa, (7) Śrī Mādhava-mahotsava, (8) Śrī Saṅkalpa-kalpavṛkṣa, (9) Bhāvārtha-sūcaka-campū, (10) Gopāla-tāpanī-ṭīkā, (11) a commentary on the Brahma-saṁhitā, (12) a commentary on the Bhakti-rasāmṛta-sindhu, (13) a commentary on the Ujjvala-nīlamaṇi, (14) a commentary on the Yogasāra-stava, (15) a commentary on the Gāyatrī-mantra, as described in the Agni Purāṇa, (16) a description of the Lord’s lotus feet derived from the Padma Purāṇa, (17) a description of the lotus feet of Śrīmatī Rādhārāṇī, (18) Gopāla-campū (in two parts) and (19-25) seven sandarbhas: the Krama-, Tattva-, Bhagavat-, Paramātma-, Kṛṣṇa-, Bhakti- and Prīti-sandarbha. After the disappearance of Śrīla Rūpa Gosvāmī and Sanātana Gosvāmī in Vṛndāvana, Śrīla Jīva Gosvāmī became the ācārya of all the Vaiṣṇavas in Bengal, Orissa and the rest of the world, and it is he who used to guide them in their devotional service. In Vṛndāvana he established the Rādhā-Dāmodara temple, where we had the opportunity to live and retire until the age of sixty-five, when we decided to come to the United States of America. When Jīva Gosvāmī was still present, Śrīla Kṛṣṇadāsa Kavirāja Gosvāmī compiled his famous Caitanya-caritāmṛta. Later, Śrīla Jīva Gosvāmī inspired Śrīnivāsa Ācārya, Narottama dāsa Ṭhākura and Duḥkhī Kṛṣṇadāsa to preach Kṛṣṇa consciousness in Bengal. Jīva Gosvāmī was informed that all the manuscripts that had been collected from Vṛndāvana and sent to Bengal for preaching purposes were plundered near Viṣṇupura, in Bengal, but later he received the information that the books had been recovered. Śrī Jīva Gosvāmī awarded the designation Kavirāja to Rāmacandra Sena, a disciple of Śrīnivāsa Ācārya’s, and to Rāmacandra’s younger brother Govinda. While Jīva Gosvāmī was alive, Śrīmatī Jāhnavī-devī, the pleasure potency of Śrī Nityānanda Prabhu, went to Vṛndāvana with a few devotees. Jīva Gosvāmī was very kind to the Gauḍīya Vaiṣṇavas, the Vaiṣṇavas from Bengal. Whoever went to Vṛndāvana he provided with a residence and prasāda. His disciple Kṛṣṇadāsa Adhikārī listed all the books of the Gosvāmīs in his diary.

The sahajiyās level three accusations against Śrīla Jīva Gosvāmī. This is certainly not congenial for the execution of devotional service. The first accusation concerns a materialist who was very proud of his reputation as a great Sanskrit scholar and approached Śrī Rūpa and Sanātana to argue with them about the revealed scriptures. Śrīla Rūpa Gosvāmī and Sanātana Gosvāmī, not wanting to waste their time, gave him a written statement that he had defeated them in a debate on the revealed scriptures. Taking this paper, the scholar approached Jīva Gosvāmī for a similar certificate of defeat, but Jīva Gosvāmī did not agree to give him one. On the contrary, he argued with him regarding the scriptures and defeated him. Certainly, it was right for Jīva Gosvāmī to stop such a dishonest scholar from advertising that he had defeated Śrīla Rūpa Gosvāmī and Sanātana Gosvāmī, but due to their illiteracy the sahajiyā class refer to this incident to accuse Śrīla Jīva Gosvāmī of deviating from the principle of humility. They do not know, however, that humility and meekness are appropriate when one’s own honor is insulted but not when Lord Viṣṇu or the ācāryas are blasphemed. In such cases one should not be humble and meek but must act. One should follow the example given by Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu. Lord Caitanya says in His Śikṣāṣṭaka (3):

tṛṇād api sunīcena
taror ivasahiṣṇunā
amāninā mānadena
kīrtanīyaḥ sadā hariḥ

“One can chant the holy name of the Lord in a humble state of mind, thinking himself lower than the straw in the street. One should be more tolerant than a tree, devoid of all sense of false prestige, and should be ready to offer all respect to others. In such a state of mind one can chant the holy name of the Lord constantly.” Nevertheless, when the Lord was informed that Nityānanda Prabhu was injured by Jagāi and Mādhāi, He immediately went to the spot, angry like fire, wanting to kill them. Thus, Lord Caitanya has explained His verse by the example of His own behavior. One should tolerate insults against oneself, but when there is blasphemy committed against superiors such as other Vaiṣṇavas, one should be neither humble nor meek; one must take proper steps to counteract such blasphemy. This is the duty of a servant of a guru and Vaiṣṇavas. Anyone who understands the principle of eternal servitude to the guru and Vaiṣṇavas will appreciate the action of Śrī Jīva Gosvāmī in connection with the so-called scholar’s victory over his gurus, Śrīla Rūpa and Śrīla Sanātana Gosvāmī.

Another story fabricated to defame Śrīla Jīva Gosvāmī states that after compiling Śrī Caitanya-caritāmṛta, Śrīla Kṛṣṇadāsa Kavirāja Gosvāmī showed the manuscript to Jīva Gosvāmī, who thought that it would hamper his reputation as a big scholar and therefore threw it into a well. Śrīla Kṛṣṇadāsa Kavirāja Gosvāmī was greatly shocked, and he died immediately. Fortunately, a copy of the manuscript of Śrī Caitanya-caritāmṛta had been kept by a person named Mukunda, and therefore later it was possible to publish the book. This story is another ignominious example of blasphemy against a guru and Vaiṣṇava. Such a story should never be accepted as authoritative.

According to another accusation, Śrīla Jīva Gosvāmī did not approve of the principles of the pārakīya-rasa of Vraja-dhāma and therefore supported svakīya-rasa, showing that Rādhā and Kṛṣṇa are eternally married. Actually, when Jīva Gosvāmī was alive, some of his followers disliked the pārakīya-rasa of the gopīs. Therefore, Śrīla Jīva Gosvāmī, for their spiritual benefit, supported svakīya-rasa, for he could understand that sahajiyās would otherwise exploit the pārakīya-rasa, as they are actually doing at the present. Unfortunately, in Vṛndāvana and Navadvīpa it has become fashionable among sahajiyās, in their debauchery, to find an unmarried sexual partner to live with to execute so-called devotional service in pārakīya-rasa. Foreseeing this, Śrīla Jīva Gosvāmī supported svakīya-rasa, and later all the Vaiṣṇava ācāryas also approved of it. Śrīla Jīva Gosvāmī was never opposed to the transcendental pārakīya-rasa, nor has any other Vaiṣṇava disapproved of it. Śrīla Jīva Gosvāmī strictly followed his predecessor gurus and Vaiṣṇavas, Śrīla Rūpa Gosvāmī and Sanātana Gosvāmī, and Śrīla Kṛṣṇadāsa Kavirāja Gosvāmī accepted him as one of his instructor gurus.

Shushruma Dhiranam: The Key to Transcendental Knowledge

“It is said that one result is achieved by worshiping the Supreme Cause of all causes, and that another is obtained by worshiping what is not supreme. All this was heard from the undisturbed authorities who clearly explained it.” (Sri Isopanisad, Mantra Thirteen) In his purport to this verse, Srila Prabhupada explains, “Unless one hears from the bona fide acarya, who is never disturbed by the changes of the material world, one cannot have the real key to transcendental knowledge.” Iti susruma dhiranam, ye nas tad vicacaksire. Devotees who have traveled and preached in India can easily understand what Srila Prabhupada identified as the main problem with modern India: “In modern times the numbers of such pretenders has increased in considerable numbers, and it has become a problem for the pure devotees of the Lord to save the mass of people from the unholy propaganda of these pretenders and imitation incarnations of God.” (Sri Isopanisad, Mantra 13, Purport) Although people in India have natural devotion to the Supreme Lord and His great devotees, such as Lakshmi, Hanuman and Garuda, most are confused or ignorant about the conclusions of the scriptures and thus sometimes get misled into “worshiping what is not supreme.” This is because they hear from bogus preachers rather than the pure devotees of the Lord. For this defect, they are unable to distinguish between matter and spirit. “Presently people are so fallen that they cannot distinguish between a conditioned soul and a liberated soul.” (Srimad-Bhagavatam 4.18.5, Purport) “If one tries to mingle the worship of yogamaya and mahamaya, considering them one and the same, he does not really show very high intelligence.” (Caitanya-Caritamrta, Madhya 8.90, Purport) Monkey Worshipers and Hanuman Offenders Continue reading →

This is called Parampara system

“…So if you want to understand Bhagavad-gītā, then we must understand in the same way as the person who directly heard from him. This is called paramparā system. Suppose I have heard something from my spiritual master, so I speak to you the same thing. So this is paramparā system. You cannot imagine what my spiritual master said. Or even if you read some books, you cannot understand unless you understand it from me. This is called paramparā system. You cannot jump over to the superior guru, I mean to say, neglecting the next ācārya, immediate next ācārya.

Just like our this Gau…, Caitanya Mahāprabhu’s cult; we cannot understand Caitanya Mahāprabhu directly. This is not possible. We have to understand through the Gosvāmīs. Therefore you’ll find in the Caitanya-caritāmṛta, in…, at the end of every chapter, the writer says, rūpa-

raghunātha-pade… What is that?

Yaśomatīnandana: Caitanya-caritāmṛta kahe.

Prabhupāda: Kṛṣṇa-dāsa.

rūpa-raghunātha-pade yāra āśa
caitanya-caritāmṛta kahe kṛṣṇa-dāsa
[Cc. Ādi 1.110]

This is the process. He does not say that “I have understood Lord Caitanya Mahāprabhu directly.” No. That is not understanding. That is foolishness. You cannot understand what is Caitanya Mahāprabhu. Therefore repeatedly he says,

rūpa-raghunātha-pade yāra āśa
caitanya-caritāmṛta kahe kṛṣṇa-dāsa”
[Cc. Ādi 1.110]

A Poetic Ode Resonating Srila Prabhupada’s Timeless Wisdom.

This message is for all
so please share it my friends
because this message from Gopal
shall supremely heal and mend.

All we need to do is awake
to our eternal blissfull state
beyond pain and even death
so be unlimitedly blessed.

And just hear the message of God
from everyone’s guru Prabhupad
for he repeats Lord Krishna’s words
that bestow all blessings when heard.

Because I did hear them
I know all blessings I can give
by simply repeating these words
that wake us up to really live.

Living means preaching life
life that shines eternally bright
which is transcendental wisdom
just how to live our lives right.

Which means sharing the greatest grace
given by the guru of the whole human race
the greatest grace now is in Krishna’s names
to bless us in Krishna’s service always be engaged.

It can not be preached enough!
we must know Prabhupada’s love!
who labored hard for all of us
to transcend anger greed and lust.

I must make it known
now its Prabhupada alone
who left us perfect instructions
how to return to blissful home.

His instructions are unchanged
through a pure disciplic chain
headed by Lord Sri Krishna!!
to awake our love Krishna prem.

You just open up your ears
and just open up your hearts
to hear Lord Krishna’s holy names
to light up your spiritual parts.

As all loving servants of Lord Krishna
to fulfill all Lord Krishna’s wishes
to deliver all in this material existence
to where our unlimited wisdom and bliss is.

Yes it is just as easy as this
for us most fallen souls in this age
to wake up our Krishna consciousness
and no longer be illusion’s slaves.

Yes please spread it far near and far
you just need to know who you are
servants of the supreme greatest star
known as the son of Jashoda Damodar.

Yes you can transcend all pain, doubt and fear
when Krishna’s holy names you really hear
so everyone come together to know all pleasure
and return back to blissfull home forever.

And sing sing sing the names of Him supreme
all you need to do is wake up from your dreary dream
this is Your supreme friends Gaur nitai’s request
begging all to wake up to their unlimited happiness.

Everyone please bring to this world peace
freedom from all disease, pleasure to always increase
please come together now to know no impossibility
please come together now to end hatred and hostility.

Please come together now to lighten this world’s burden

Echoes of Devotion: A Poetic Plea to Prabhupada

Dearest Prabhupada Jagat Guru
my whole life I surrender to you
please now tell me what to do
every moment help me through.

I’ve fallen in the darkest dark
where nobody knows who they are
please guide me by thy perfect art
to light up every spiritual spark.

My mind is criippled by my fate
I need you constantly Gurudeva
to guide me to my spiritual state
in Krishna’s service fully awake.

O dearest master O friend of all
completely surrendered to Gopal
I must help every soul that did fall
I must spread your most loving call.

O dear souls you’ve fallen from above
of thy supreme love you are sparks of
please call his names like a helpless babe
to in Krishna’s service be always engaged.

Pray O my dear Radha and Krishna
pray my original guru Sri Balaram
please place me where all souls belong
in your loving service beyond all wrong.

You have descended most kindly as Prabhupad
most recently to spread the pure truth unchanged
You have descended nondifferent as Thy names
to deliver souls to their eternal blissfull home again.

I must thank you Prabhupad for the souls here
reading this poem please keep them near
I need all the help I can to make this clear
to all on mother earth life’s mission most dear.

I can not bare to see all thats taking place
and I know the only hope is your divine grace
living for all through your books Prabhupad
you give all the enlightenment from Krishna God.

And so I am begging empower me please
to reach every soul to know the path to peace
and their real pleasure forever to increase
by simply waking up to their Lord Jagadish.

Nothing is impossible you famously said
everyone now can go back to Godhead
for this is yours and Gaura Nitai’s strong desire
to deliver everyone here right out of Maya.

And so I’m begging please make me instrumental
to spread everywhere this message transcendental
to lift every soul beyond the physical and mental
to know their eternal soul and nothings accidental.

We have all taken birth on this planet earth
to follow Srila Prabhupada guru of the universe
to be trained up to realize our life’s very worth
spreading the very wisdom the wise do search.

So all may board the ship of transcendental knowledge
to travel easily home guided by the greatest vedic scholars
who are fully enlightened by our top most Prabhupad
the master all masters bow to, to hear all about God.

It is by Prabhupada’s grace alone you hear this poem
through this dumb dog who could not bare the unknown
I had to know life’s purpose so now to me it is shown
by the mercy of Lord Krishna Who wants us all back home.

We do nothing without Him every soul’s dearest friend
out of His love for His children He guides us every bend
He fulfilled our insistence to leave Him and go stray
so now we must suffer so we will eventually pray.

O my dear Lord Krishna O supreme person
now finally I realize I’m not God by Your mercy
I can fall if I’m not serving You with all of my love
so I must follow Your laws to rise safely above.

O my dear Lord I can only suffer in illusion
when I don’t accept You life’s only solution
just like outside of the light there is only dark
out side of Your service we forget our real part.

Now because we’ve fallen Your mercy is most great
in this age our main duty is to chant Your holy names
so we shall gradually become purified to know life’s aim
and surrender to Prabhupad through the books he gave.

And through this surrender we’ll be empowered by Govinda
to engage in the highest welfare work one can ever render
distributing Prabhupada law books and bhagawat prasadam
singing loudly Krishna’s names to revive what we’ve forgotten.

Our pure love for Krishna can save a universe
therefor Prabhupad said his mission is a success
if he makes one pure devotee these were his words
that we should follow in Jayananda’s holy footsteps.

It is Prabhupada’s words we are duty bound to repeat
and follow them perfectly and we can also lead
so as the servant of the servant I pray I’m of service to you
all of you who read this poem I pray I helped you through.

I also must humbly make this request
please share this poem to make others blessed
for I must share my blessings to be blessed with more
blessings to reveal Prabhupada can stop all this war.

For when all come together for Prabhupada’s pleasure
we shall know life’s treasure that brings pleasure forever
and this is no joke Prabhupada is the world’s only hope
simply because he holds the most perfect vedic scope.

Hare Krishna Hare Krishna
Krishna Krishna Hare Hare

ISKCON’s Pepsi/Coca-Cola Paramahamsas

Hare Krsna. All glories to His Divine A.C. Bhaktivendanta Swami Prabhupada. The photo above is of ISKCON’s Pepsi/Coca-Cola conscious Paramahamsas, who promote Pepsi/Coca-Cola drinking consciousness. 
Despite all the nonsense inclinations of these bogus Gurus, there are still people who accept that this unauthorized system in ISKCON of bogus Guru worship is bonafide. 
Lecture on SB 7.5.30 — Mauritius, October 2, 1975: Uncontrolled. Our senses are uncontrolled. This morning, while I was walking on the beach, we found so many things, the capsule of the Coca-cola, cigarette butts and so many other things. So what is the necessity of this Coca-cola? You don’t find all these things in our society. We don’t drink Coca-cola. We don’t drink Pepsi-cola. We don’t smoke. So many things which are selling in the market in huge quantity by advertisement, by victimizing the poor customer… But they are called unnecessary things. There is no need of such things.
Letter to Rupanuga — Ahmedabad 29 September, 1975: We do not have to make propaganda, but automatically people will not want. The people are innocent. The rascal leaders say it is primitive to remain on the farm, but to do business in the city and become rogue and rascal, that is advanced. They have dog race, horse race, gambling, coca cola, pepsi cola—all unnecessary. There is no use for it but the business is going on. They take to cigarette and T.V. because they have no good engagement. They are chewing the already chewed. That is nice that the parents are donating. They will donate more and more, because they see here is something good.

Quotes on bogus Gurus and the importance of acceptance of a bonafide Guru

Books : Srimad-Bhagavatam : Canto 5: “The Creative Impetus” : SB 5.15: The Glories of the Descendants of King Priyavrata : SB 5.15.4 : PURPORT :The word anusasmāra is very significant. God consciousness is not imaginary or concocted. The devotee who is pure and advanced realizes God as He is. Mahārāja Pratīha did so, and due to his direct realization of Lord Viṣṇu, he propagated self-realization and became a preacher. A real preacher cannot be bogus; he must first of all realize Lord Viṣṇu as He is. As confirmed in Bhagavad-gītā (4.34), upadekṣyanti te jñānaṁ jñāninas tattva-darśinaḥ: “one who has seen the truth can impart knowledge.” The word tattva-darśī refers to one who has perfectly realized the Supreme Personality of Godhead. Such a person can become a guru and propound Vaiṣṇava philosophy all over the world. The paragon of bona fide preachers and guru is King Pratīha. 
Books : Srimad-Bhagavatam : Canto 6: “Prescribed Duties for Mankind” : SB 6.15: The Saints Narada and Angira Instruct King Citraketu : SB 6.15.16 : PURPORT :This is the way to receive knowledge. One must submit oneself at the lotus feet of great personalities who can actually deliver transcendental knowledge. It is therefore said, tasmād guruṁ prapadyeta jijñāsuḥ śreya uttamam: [SB 11.3.21] “One who is inquisitive to understand the highest goal and benefit of life must approach a bona fide spiritual master and surrender unto him.” Only one who is actually eager to receive knowledge to eradicate the darkness of ignorance is eligible to approach a guru, or spiritual master. The guru should not be approached for material benefits. One should not approach a guru just to cure some disease or receive some miraculous benefit. This is not the way to approach the guru. Tad-vijñānārtham: one should approach the guru to understand the transcendental science of spiritual life. Unfortunately, in this age of Kali there are many bogus gurus who display magic to their disciples, and many foolish disciples want to see such magic for material benefits. These disciples are not interested in pursuing spiritual life to save themselves from the darkness of ignorance.
Books : Teachings of Lord Kapila, the Son of Devahuti : TLK 13: Perfect Knowledge Through Surrender : TLK Vs 28 : PURPORT :To understand these subjects, we should be careful to approach Kṛṣṇa’s representative. We should not approach a bogus guru, who is like a blind man trying to lead other blind men. We must go to one who has open eyes, to one who has seen the Absolute Truth. The Absolute Truth is there, just as the sun is there for everyone to see. The sun does not hide, but a person can try to hide from the sun by closing his door. One must open the door in order to see the sun. Similarly, Kṛṣṇa is there, God is there, and we have to come to Kṛṣṇa and take the lessons of Bhagavad-gītā to learn who and what God is. Rascals will not do this, but will simply manufacture some philosophy or other. There is actually no difficulty because Kṛṣṇa’s instructions are there, and Kṛṣṇa Himself is there. Kṛṣṇa is so kind that He says, “All right, if you cannot understand Me in this way, just see Me in water. Come on, if you do not understand Me in that way, just see Me in the sunshine.” Is this very difficult? There is nothing difficult about it, but we are very obstinate. Māyā is also very strong, and as soon as we try to accept Kṛṣṇa as the Supreme Lord, māyā will whisper in our ear, “No, no. There are many gods. Why are you accepting Kṛṣṇa?” However, the śāstras say, kṛṣṇas tu bhagavān svayam… īśvaraḥ paramaḥ kṛṣṇaḥ [Bs. 5.1]. “Kṛṣṇa is the Supreme Personality of Godhead.” We should take our lessons from the ācāryas and the śāstras. At least in India there are many great ācāryas—Rāmānujācārya, Madhvācārya, Viṣṇusvāmī, and even Śaṅkarācārya and Guru Nanak. All of these have accepted Kṛṣṇa as the Supreme Personality of Godhead. Why, then, should we reject Him? Why should we accept a competitor? We should not simply engage in mental speculation but should accept Kṛṣṇa in full consciousness and be happy. This is made possible by the help of the guru; therefore Devahūti is further questioning her son, Kapiladeva. 
Lectures : Bhagavad-gita Lectures : Bg 2: Lectures : Bhagavad-gita 2.7 — London, August 7, 1973 : 730807BG.LON :So actually āryan samāja means Kṛṣṇa conscious society, International Society for Kṛṣṇa… That is Ārya. Not bogus. So here, Arjuna is explaining, putting himself: “Yes, kārpaṇya-doṣo. Because I am forgetting my duty, therefore upahata-svabhāvaḥ, I am bewildered in my natural propensities.” A kṣatriya should be always active. Whenever there is a war, there is fight, they must be very much enthusiastic. A kṣatriya, if another kṣatriya says: “I want to fight with you,” he, oh, he cannot refuse. “Yes, come one. Fight. Take sword.” Immediately: “Come one” That is kṣatriya. Now he’s refusing to fight. He’s forgetting his duty, kṣatriya duty. Therefore, he’s admitting: Yes, kārpaṇya-doṣa. Kārpaṇya-doṣopahata-svabhāvaḥ [Bg. 2.7]. “My natural duty I am forgetting. Therefore I have become miser. Therefore my…” Now when you become miser, that is a diseased condition. Then what is your duty? Then go to a person who can… Just like when you become diseased, you go to a physician and ask him “What to do, sir? I am now suffering with this disease.” This is your duty. Similarly, when we are perplexed in our duties, or we forget our duties, it is very nice to go to the superior person and ask him what to do. So who can be superior person than Kṛṣṇa? Therefore Arjuna says: pṛcchāmi tvām. “I am asking you. Because it is my duty. I’m now falling in my duty, faulty. So this is not good. So I must ask somebody who is superior to me.” That is the duty. Tad vijñānārthaṁ sa gurum eva abhigacchet [MU 1.2.12]. This is the Vedic duty. Everyone is perplexed. Everyone is suffering in this material world, being perplexed. But he’ll not search out a bona fide guru. No. That is kārpaṇya-doṣa. That is kārpaṇya-doṣa. Here, Arjuna is coming out of the kārpaṇya-doṣa. How? Now he’s asking Kṛṣṇa. Pṛcchāmi tvām. “My dear Kṛṣṇa, You are the most superior person. That I know. You are Kṛṣṇa. So I am perplexed. Actually, I am forgetting my duty. Therefore, I am asking You.” 
Lectures : Bhagavad-gita Lectures : Bg 2: Lectures : Bhagavad-gita 2.13 — Hyderabad, November 19, 1972 : 721119BG.HYD :Similarly, acceptance of spiritual master means representative of God. Of course, he, he must be representative of God. If unfortunately I accept a bogus man as representative of…, that is my misfortune. But actually, acceptance of spiritual master means he’s a bona fide representative of God. Evaṁ paramparā-prāptam imaṁ rājarṣayo viduḥ [Bg. 4.2]. That is stated in the Bhagavad-gītā, you’ll find. That paramparā system, disciplic succession, ācārya. Ācāryavān puruṣo veda. Just like we accept our philosophy, Vaiṣṇava philosophy, or any Indian philosophy, they accept this paramparā, guru-paramparā. They accept it. Sampradāya. Just like we have got sampradā…, Rāmānuja-sampradāya, Madhva-sampradāya. So we have to accept the sampradāya, disciplic succession, to receive real knowledge. So that sampradāya begins from Kṛṣṇa. Kṛṣṇa is the original spiritual master of Lord Brahmā, of Lord Śiva, Nārada, so many other authorities. There are twelve authorities, svayambhur nāradaḥ śambhuḥ [SB 6.3.20]. Svayambhu means Lord Brahmā; Nārada; and Śambhu, Lord Śiva; Kumāra; Kapila; Manu. They are all authorities. So that is the indication of the śāstra, that if you want to understand the transcendental science, the science of God, then tad-vijñānārthaṁ sa gurum eva abhigacchet [MU 1.2.12]. That is the injunction of the Vedas, that if you really interested to learn the transcendental science, you must approach. Abhigacchet. This is vidhilin. Vidhilin. This form of verb is used in Sanskrit grammar when it meant “You must.” You cannot say “I may accept or may not accept.” That will not do. You must accept. Tad, tad-vijñānārthaṁ sa gurum eva abhigacchet, samit-pāṇiḥ śrotriyaṁ brahma-niṣṭham [MU 1.2.12]. These are the injunctions of the Vedas.

Srila Gaura Kishora dasa Babaji Tirobhava tithi – November 23, 2023 [Mayapura, West Bengal]

So the process of hearing is very important. So our this Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement is to propagate that “You hear from the authority, Kṛṣṇa.” Kṛṣṇa is the Supreme Personality of Godhead. It is accepted in the present age and in the past age. In the past age, great sages like Nārada, Vyāsa, Asita, Devala, very, very great stalwart scholars and sages, they accepted. In the Middle Age, say 1,500 years ago, all the ācāryas like Śaṅkarācārya, Rāmānujācārya, Madhvācārya, Nimbārka… Practically, Indian Vedic civilization, it is still existing on the authority of these ācāryas. And it is recommended in the Bhagavad-gītā: ācāryopāsanam. If you want to learn factually things, then you should approach ācārya. Ācāryavān puruṣo veda, “One who has accepted ācārya, he knows things as they are.” Ācāryavān puruṣo veda. So we are receiving knowledge through the ācāryas.Kṛṣṇa spoke to Arjuna, Arjuna spoke to Vyāsadeva. Arjuna actually did not speak to Vyāsadeva, but Vyāsadeva heard it, Kṛṣṇa speaking, and he noted down in his book Mahābhārata. This Bhagavad-gītā is found in Mahābhārata. So we accept the authorities of Vyāsa. And from Vyāsa, Madhvācārya; from Madhvācārya, so many disciplic succession, up to MādhavendraPurī. Then MādhavendraPurī to Īśvara Purī; from Īśvara Purī to Lord Caitanyadeva; from Lord Caitanyadeva to six Gosvāmīs; from six Gosvāmīs to KṛṣṇadāsaKavirāja; from him, Śrīnivāsa Ācārya; from him, Viśvanātha Cakravartī; from him, Jagannāthadāsa Bābājī; then Gaura Kiśora dāsa Bābājī; Bhaktivinoda Ṭhākura; my spiritual master. The same thing, we are preaching. That is Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement. It is nothing new. It is coming down from the original speaker, Kṛṣṇa, by disciplic succession. So we are reading this Bhagavad-gītā. Not that I have manufactured some book and I am preaching. No. I am preaching Bhagavad-gītā. The same Bhagavad-gītā as it was first spoken forty millions of years ago to the sun-god and again it was repeated five thousand years ago to Arjuna. The same thing is coming down by disciplic succession, and the same thing is presented before you. There is no change.
