Hare Krsna to all
Pranams
All glories to Srila Prabhupada
Sometimes I wonder when the devotees will actually pick up on one of the most
important instructions that Prabhupada gave to us.
The pictures below are of a 3 book set done by a devotee in Australia who read all the
conversations books (37 in that set) and pulled out these three books worth of
relevant quotes from Srila Prabhupada where he is constantly explaining the next phase
of the Hare Krsna Movement. That next and very important part is that he wanted
us to live simply, grow our own food, and spend the balance of our freed up time in
chanting Hare Krsna Maha Mantra. In this way we would become quickly purified.
But who is doing it? Not many I am afraid. I just sent out an email with Ramesvara
explaining in his video that Prabhupada was telling him in the future, there will be
millions of people coming to our farms due to their joblessness which was due to
the failure of government run economies worldwide.
Ok some might say, how can we trust Ramesvara, the guy who was going to testify
against Srila Prabhupada in the L.A. Calif- BBT vs Hansadutta court case regarding printing
original books as opposed to the Jayadvaita changed versions.?? Good question. Here is the answer.
Even if he is lying or exaggerating about millions of people coming to our farms in the future, that does not change these three books worth of statements by Srila Prabhupada in the folio vedabase,
where Prabhupada himself is saying he wants his disciples and followers to start this
model of simple living high thinking by starting to grow owns own food.
And if Ramesvara is telling the truth, then these 3 books take on even more importance
because they go exactly along with what Ramesvara said. So either way, the message is clear.
Adopt a simplistic lifestyle (no more ugra karma work, no more industrial enterprises, machines etc)
but somehow or other, simplify our life, so that we can spend the majority of the short lifespan we have
been allotted to chanting Hare Krsna Maha Mantra, become purified and go back to Home
back to Godhead.
Srila Prabhupada’s final instructions to follow these pictures….
each book is about 500 pages-so about 1,500 pages of instruction on simple living high thinking
And this is just from the conversation books, what to speak of everything else !!!
771008r2.vrn 495873/530501 Prabhupada: No luxuries. Live very simple life and you save time for chanting Hare Krsna. Hamsaduta: Yes, Prabhupada. Prabhupada: That is my desire. Don’t waste time for bodily comforts. You have got this body. You have to eat something. You have to cover yourself. So produce your own food and produce your own cloth. Don’t waste time for luxury, and chant Hare Krsna. This is success of life. In this way organize as far as possible, either in Ceylon or in Czechoslovakia, wherever… Save time. Chant Hare Krsna. Don’t be allured by the machine civilization. Hamsaduta: Yes, Prabhupada. Prabhupada: This is soul-killing civilization, this kind way of life, especially European countries. Anywhere you can inhabit it. It is not very difficult. A cottage; you can produce your own food anywhere. Am I right? Hamsaduta: Yes, Prabhupada. We will do it. Prabhupada: And money, spend for Krsna–for Krsna’s palace, for Krsna’s temple, for Krsna’s worship, gorgeous, as gorgeously as… Not for false… This is the human civilization. And to organize this, varnasrama will help you to divide the society–brahmana, ksatriya,
vaisya–as there is division in the body. That will help. Don’t waste human form of body for sense gratification. I wanted to introduce this. Now I have given you ideas. You can do it. You are all intelligent. For Caitanya Mahaprabhu’s para-upakara… So you do good to others. Not exploit others. Any human being who has been bestowed by this body has the capacity to chant Hare Krsna. Give them chance and make situation favorable. Is that clear? Hamsaduta: Yes, it’s clear, Prabhupada. You have made everything very clear.
