krishna1008: 21 Sept 2018 -Sri Vamana Dwadashi : Appearance of Sri Vamana Deva

Vamana lila in brief by Srila Prabhupada –

There is a nice story of a great devotee, Bali Maharaja. Bali Maharaja was a very powerful king, and he conquered over the heavenly planets. So the denizens of the heavenly planets, they appealed to the Supreme Lord to save them, that “We are now conquered by the demonic king, Bali Maharaja.” 

So Bali Maharaja… And Krsna, Krsna took the shape of a dwarf and went to Bali Maharaja for begging as a brahmana boy. And He approached him, Bali Maharaja, “I want something from you. You are a great king. You give in charity to the brahmanas. So I want something from you.” So Bali Maharaja said, “Yes, I shall give You. What You want?” 

Srila Bhaktivinode Thakur was INITIATED by Srila Jagannath Das Babaji Maharaja confirmed in BACK TO GODHEAD – March 20, 1960

Śrīla Prabhupāda said:

This process is recommended in all the scriptures of the Vedic literature, it was taught by Lord Caitanya and followed by His disciplic succession for the last five hundred years, and people are achieving good results from it today, not only in India but here also. If you try to understand what this Krsna consciousness movement is, you’ll understand how transcendental meditation is possible. We are not sentimentalists; we have many books: Bhāgavad Gītā As It Is, Śrīmad Bhāgavatam, Teachings of Lord Caitanya, Śrī Īśopaniṣad. And we have our magazine, Back to Godhead. It is not that we are sentimentalists. We are backed up by high philosophical thought. But if you take up this simple process–chanting Hare Krsna, Hare Krsna, Krsna Krsna, Hare Hare/ Hare Rama, Hare Rama, Rama Rama, Hare Hare–you are immediately elevated to the transcendental platform, even without reading so much philosophical literature. This Hare Krsna mantra is Lord Caitanya Mahaprabhu’s gift to the conditioned souls of the present age, in accordance with the Vedic sanction.

Letter to Srila Prabhupada, by Haripada dasa
With love and confidence I share my Vyasa Puja letter to Srila Prabhupada Mahasaya.
All the devotees who serve and love Srila Prabhupada write a letter called the Vyasa Puja letter, Vyasadeva is a literary incarnation of God or Krishna, He wrote all the Vedic literature, The Bhagavad-gita, The Srimad-bhagavatam, The Mahabharata etc, and our spiritual master’s birthday is called Vyasa Puja day, on this day the spiritual master is glorified and thanked for all his mercy, all this spiritual knowledge given to us by Vyasadeva is transmitted from the guru to the disciple through the chain of disciplic succession, all these truths are eternal and never change, that’s why Srila Prabhupada always said that the philosophy of Krishna consciousness is very easy, because we don’t have to invent anything, we just have than to repeat what the previous spiritual masters said.
Thanks to Srila Prabhupada we have found the Truth and the Truth will set you free. Thanks to Srila Prabhupada we have come out of ignorance, which is the cause of all suffering. Thanks to Srila Prabhupada we have understood the purpose of human life, to understand and love God or Krishna, and since there is only God or Krishna and His energies, by doing this in a natural way one loves everyone and everything. Thanks to Srila Prabhupada we have understood that this material world is full of envy and is no place for a gentleman, here there are only cheaters and cheated. Thanks to Srila Prabhupada we hope to go back home to God and Krishna and His devotees, and the experience of having been in this material world will be a bad nightmare. Thanks to Srila Prabhupada we have understood that we are not the material body, but eternal spirit souls, eternal loving servants of God or Krishna and His devotees. Thanks to Srila Prabhupada we are now no longer a rudderless ship, now Srila Prabhupada is the person we trust and love the most. If Srila Prabupada had not come, what would have become of us?
