Hare Krishna Damaghosa Prabhu,

Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada!Well they have banned it, even though all the ISKCON distributors want it.
It is one of the best selling books ever and has created a whole new army of distributors big and small outside of ISKCON.
KBI and BBT have asked me to stand down. Let’s see what I do. Continue reading →

Hare Krsna-Below are 4 quotes where Srila Prabhupada tells us how the pure devotee goes about

his business in the material word depending upon the Lord in the heart and no one else.

Damaghosa das

1.) 760620SB.TOR Lectures The human life is meant for visnu-aradhanam. That is therefore the varnasrama: brahmana, ksatriya, vaisya, sudra. The aim is visnu-aradhanam. Visnu-aradhanam param. We are flattering so many people to get some benefit. Everyone has to flatter. Businessman has to flatter his customer; a servant has to flatter his master; and so on, so on, some friend, some minister to get some favor. But Lord Siva says, “So why don’t you flatter Visnu? Visnu-aradhanam param.” Tadiyanam aradhanam. This is the sastric injunction.

2.) 760322SB.MAY Lectures
We can ask favor from anyone, but we must know that nobody can favor us unless it is sanctioned by the Supreme Person. We must always know. Not that because one is very, in
a superior position, he can favor me. No, he cannot favor you unless it is sanctioned by the Supreme. Suppose we approach sometimes a rich man to favor us with some contribution, membership fees. But that rich man cannot favor us unless it is sanctioned by Krsna. Krsna is there within himself,(as supersoul) and if He says that “You give him this money,” the man will give us. So we shall not be sorry. Suppose we go somewhere and he did not favor us. We should not be sorry. We should know that Krsna did not dictate him. He is not so fortunate now; therefore Krsna did not dictate him. So there is nothing to be sorry. This should be our principle. Because without Krsna’s sanction…

3.)69-03-20.Ray Letter: Rayarama
…depending on Krishna, because after all, He is the ultimate Master of all situations. It is not the doctor, or the medicine, or the place, but it is ultimately Krishna Who is the Master to do every thing. With this viewpoint we shall go forward.

4.) 761102rc.vrn Conversations
Prabhupada: No, we don’t care for Indians and Europeans. We care for Krsna, that’s all. I didn’t care for anyone. I simply care for Krsna, that’s all. And my Guru Maharaja, that’s all. I went to your country, not supported by Indians and Europeans. I went on the order of my Guru Maharaja and under the shelter of Krsna’s protection, that’s all. . We want two favours. One from guru, one from Krsna. That’s all. We don’t want anyone’s favour.

Dr. Patel: Yes. It is very difficult to put question to you.

(Prabhupada laughs) You mow the opposition down very badly. (laughter)

Prabhupada: It is all Krsna’s…

Dr. Patel: I am a shameless man to give questions… (laughs)

Prabhupada: How long did I speak?

Harikesa: Hm, about forty-five minutes.

Prabhupada: That is my standard. (Hindi exchange)

In another place Srila Prabhupada mentions that SB and BG classes should be

around 30-45 minutes because devotees and people in general just

can’t concentrate.

Jayadvaita Cunningly Manipulates and Distorts Srila Prabhupada’s Original Books. He refuses to obey Srila Prabhupada:

Letter to: Rupanuga, 17 February, 1970

Our editing is to correct grammatical and spelling errors only, without interpolation of style or philosophy.

Note: Jayadvaita is delibrately changing Srila Prabhupada’s books to support “many pseudo devotees or nondevotees in the Kṛṣṇa Consciousness Society“ . His purpose of massive book changing is to destroy Srila Prabhupada’s original Krishna Consciousness movement

Srila Prabhupadas original text Madhya 19.157 : PURPORT
If one thinks that there are many pseudo devotees or nondevotees in the Kṛṣṇa Consciousness Society, one can keep direct company with the spiritual master, and if there is any doubt, one should consult the spiritual master. However, unless one follows the spiritual master’s instructions and the regulative principles governing chanting and hearing the holy name of the Lord, one cannot become a pure devotee. By one’s mental concoctions, one falls down. By associating with nondevotees, one breaks the regulative principles and is thereby lost. (Madhya 19.157) Continue reading →

Devotee (4): The difficulty is that we cannot understand, we cannot
feel what pleases Krsna now, yet we can feel what pleases us, and that
is the difficulty?
Prabhupada: You have no feeling, that everyone knows. Therefore you
have to carry out the order of spiritual master, that’s all.
Devotee (1) : If we try to please Krsna with all of our service and
activities, that automatically brings pleasure to the self?
Prabhupada: You cannot please Krsna directly. You please your
spiritual master, Krsna will be pleased. If you want to please
directly Krsna, that is not possible. That is concoction You cannot
please. Yasya prasadad bhagavat-prasadah. You have to please your
spiritual master, then Krsna will be pleased. Don’t jump.

So our only request is that if you want happiness, if you want to
prosper, make your life successful, you must read Bhagavad-gita
thoroughly, as it is, as Krsna says. Don’t try to misinterpret.

——————————-

1. Bg 6.17 P As far as work is concerned, a Krsna conscious person does not do anything which is not connected with Krsna’s interest…

2. Bg 11.55 P As far as work is concerned, one should transfer his energy

entirely to Krsna conscious activities. No work should be done by any

man except in relationship to Krsna. This is called krsna-karma.

3. Bg 3.9 Work done as a sacrifice for Visnu has to be performed, otherwise Continue reading →

Below is a few statements by Prabhupada where he is trying to get us all to wake up and understand that “simple living high thinking” is not just some catchy slogan he invented. No.

Prabhupada wanted us to use our intelligence to figure out (obviously by hearing from him) the best way to live in this world AND by doing that, how our spiritual life becomes much easier. He made a statement once, to paraphrase…” your material life increase when one gives up the desire to go back to Godhead in this lifetime, by simply making arrangements to be comfortable here.”

Below we have some of his words of wisdom to this effect.

Hare Krsna

Damaghosa das

SB 8.19.21 P The aim of the varnasrama divisions–brahmana, ksatriya, vaisya,
sudra, brahmacarya, grhastha, vanaprastha and sannyasa–is to train
one to control the senses and be content with the bare necessities.
Here Lord Vamanadeva, as an ideal brahmacari, refuses Bali Maharaja’s
offer to give Him anything He might want. He says that without
contentment one could not be happy even if he possessed the property
of the entire world or the entire universe. In human society, Continue reading →

Below in a few paragraphs, Srila Prabhupada nicely explains why devotees

who are sincere and serious must take to both deity worship and

Krsna Kirtan. Otherwise , without deity worship he says, the polluted

body and mind of the devotee cannot be purified.

Our, this temple worship, Deity worship, we are
following the principles of Deity worship because our acaryas
established temple, but main principle is chanting. Therefore,
whatever we are doing, we offering prasadam to the Lord, we are having
mangalarati, the main principle is chanting Hare Krsna mantra.

This year we celebrated the appearance day of Sri Krsna Caitanya Mahaprabhu at the Sila Puri Ashram

of Kanhaiya das . We offered arotik to the Deities, did Abhisek, held a class on the Teachings

of Lord Caitanya and Caitanya Bhagavat, and then everyone honored a massive Krsna Prasadam feast. And of course lots of Krsna Kirtan went on throughout as well.

There were around 100 different items offered today for the Lords pleasure.

Here are some photos of the event.

Many thanks to the entire family of Kanhaiya, Noble, Alisha Riya and Partha for helping to cook

and decorate the temple.For a busy family, this was a lot of work. It was very nicely done and everyone felt very blissful.

All glories to Srila Prabhupada and Sri Krsna Caitanya Mahaprabhu !!

Srila Prabhupada once said—-

SSR 5 Practicing Yoga in the Modern Age
Therefore, in the Srimad-Bhagavatam it is said that this is the
incarnation of God in this age. And who worships Him? The process is
very simple. Just keep a picture of Lord Caitanya with His associates.
Lord Caitanya is in the middle, accompanied by His principal
associates–Nityananda, Advaita, Gadadhara, and Srivasa. One simply
has to keep this picture. One can keep it anywhere. It is not that one
has to come to us to see this picture. Anyone can have this picture in
his home, chant this Hare Krsna mantra, and thus worship Lord
Caitanya. That is the simple method. But who will capture this simple
method? Those who have good brains. Without much bother, if one simply
keeps a picture of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu at home and chants Hare
Krsna, then one will realize God. Anyone can adopt this simple method.
There is no expenditure, there is no tax, nor is there any need to
build a very big church or temple. Anyone, anywhere, can sit down on
the road or beneath a tree and chant the Hare Krsna mantra and worship
God. Therefore it is a great opportunity.
