CAN WE SEE GOD??? IS SEEING BELIEVING?? LETS VISIT A CHEMISTRY LAB...

       This is a very important point for those who are persuing for spiritual life, and even it is important for our daily grasping of knowledge..

       Oftentimes people ask a very pertinent question “If you show me God, then I will believe”. These kind of question may intellectually seem very thoughtful, but are actually baseless..

       There is a saying “ what your mind doesn’t know your eyes cant see” or in other words our eyes can only see what our mind knows.
       For example, take the example of a chemistry lab which is full of chemicals of different colors n odors. If a small kid happened to visit inside the lab, he will perceive it as some fun fare, a school going student who doesn’t have any knowledge of chemicals, will take them as modes of celebration.. Even in the faculty of chemistry also, different people like bachelor, master, n phd candidates, will have different interpretation, according to there existing fund of knowledge. And a chemical scientist may have the full knowledge about the chemical.
       So, although the thing is same , but the perception is different. 

       Similerly, if we want to understand God, then we have to come to that level of understanding, by gradual progressive advancement in spiritual life. We rely so much on our sense of vision, that we reflexly reject things that do not fall into its range. But we must understand that, even if we see something, we will only understnd, according to our knowledge.. 

        So, THE FIRST REQUIREMENT OF SEEING GOD IS TO DEVELOPE KNOWLEDGE ABOUT GOD..
        And that can be done by reading scripture, hearing from people who have assimilated the scriptures, associating with people who have a faith in God. It is similar to the above example, if we want to know about the chemical, we have read books, hear the professors, and sit in the class with other chemistry students..
       
HARE KRISHNA HARE KRISHNA KRISHNA KRISHNA HARE HARE
HARE RAMA HARE RAMA RAMA RAMA HARE HARE

As we have to memorize chemical formula, to get a degree in chemistry.. similarly to get qualified to realize who is God, we have to take the name of God, as prescribed in the scriptures, by chanting,

Thank you..

A DAY WITHOUT REMEMBERING KRISHNA, IS A DAY WASTED…

Don’t get carried away by flickering of enjoyment, you experience, in this world of birth and death..

Don’t get carried away by the name, fame and worship, you attain in this world, by scholarship, charity and even sacrifice?

Ohh mind, try to become dumb to jokes mocking others,

Become, deaf and blind to others faults.

Become, inactive like a stone in the matter of bringing others even the slightest pain,

For today, simply accept whatever  comes your way unsought,

look to see the good qualities in others but not their faults,

do not put yourself forward, but remain obscure and unbeknown,

and continually chant , remember, read and listen ,without any motive and distraction, the beautiful name , fame, quality and pastime of the supreme LordShreeKrishna..

hare krishna hare krishna krishna Krishna hare hare

hare rama hare rama rama rama hare hare

NOTHING TO DO WITH KRISHNA, IF IT IS NOT FOR SRIMATI RADHARANI... (Radhasthami Wishes)

99.99% of people in this world, believe in the philosophy of eat, drink n b merry.. From the rest , the very fortunate ones strive for liberation. The more fortunate one, strives for devotional service to Lord hari. He who has spontaneous attraction for Lord Krsna’s lotus feet is more blessed . He who considers and worship Krishna as husband of Rukmini, is even more fortunate. More than that is , who is devoted to Krishna as Son of Yasoda-devi, is supremely favored. He who is devoted to Lord Krsna as the friend of Subala is even more fortunate. What to speak of those, who has developed love for Krishna,as the lover of Gopis, they resides at the pinnacle of devotional pyramid.

But, here is the secret, A devotee overwhelmed and drowned by the nectar of love for Srimati Radharani, the beautiful queen of Vrndavana, who is madanmohan mohini, who enchants even Krishna, who is the enchanter of cupid,  is the most most and most fortunate of all.

HAPPY RADHASTHAMI TO ALL … We gaudiya vaisnavas worship Krishna, because of Srimati Radharani.. I pray at the lotus feet of Srimati Radharani, to bestow, a drop of his mercy, to all living entitiy. Hare Krishna.. Jai Shree Radhe….

MOST IMPORTANT DAY FOR A DEVOTEE... PRABHUPADA APPEARANCE DAY..

If Srila Prabhupada had not come, what would have happened? How could we have passed our lives?

( prabhupada vyaspuja offering)

Contemplating on writing an offering to srila prabhupada, considering the inconspicuous position of myself, is definitely a tremendous job to undertake. Exactly, 50 years back, prabhupada , took off from kolkata, in a cargo ship, after prolong deliberation with the ship owner, finally somehow managed to sneak in, for what we conceive an impossible task to be performed. Lets discuss how was the situation for prabhupada then. Its not that prabhupada was a very famous monk in India, and that he has already gained global recognition, before embarking upon the uphilled task. No. In India, Prabhupada failed many time, or we may call them apparent failure. His family life was in most ways haywire, his pharmaceutical company caught fire, his early try to outreach public, in terms of, building league of devotees at jhansi, was not successful. Trying to print and sell “back to Godhead” magazine , was a setback. Nobody listened to him. Age was even not on his side, he was approaching seventy, with chronic comorbid conditions. In the background of this he decided to go to America, to fulfill the message of his spiritual master, to preach the message of lord chaitanya in English language. What a task!!! Coming to America, it was, as well, not a conducive environment for spiritual teachings. The counter culture movement was on. The youth, aka, hippies, were almost on daily basis breaking the four regulative principles. To teach them, the teachings of lord chaitanya, which is the summit of all the teachings, was no doubt, could have been imagined in dream. To add, prabhupada didn’t have any one to receive him there, he was a loner, materially speaking. His godbrothers refused to help, considering the fuitility of the mission. In simpler word, he was helpless in every way possible. From these background, prabhupada went on to circle the globe many times, establishing 108 temples, farm communities, publishing his own publications, initiating many many disciple, getting devotees get married, writing letters, creating projects, that too in a span of ten years. These are few of the prabhupadas miracle amongst many of them. When we see the whole picture, prabhupada’s contribution to mankind is unparalled, comparable or even more then what jesus or prophet did. The harekrishna movement is the savior of the whole world for time to come, and a thank you is never enough for such a person. His contribution is beyond acknowledgement, its not humanly possible to fathom his compassion towards suffering living entities.

Prabhupada , please accept, the little service at your lotus feet, as words that I put, to describe one atom of your magnaminity . Let me always behold your ever smiling face, which always has encouraged everyone to fight any obstacle, in the path of Krishna consciousness. Let my mind filled with your inspiring pastimes. Let my body put obessainces unto your lotus feet millions of times. Please allow me by your grace, to be one of the atoms,and reside, in your lotus feet for ever and ever and ever.

When I am writing this, only one line, of srila jay pataka swami maharaj, is constantly, in the back of my mind,
“YADI PRABHUPAD NAA HOITO, TOBE KI HOITO, E JIVANA BAHITA KISE” THANK YOU..

KRISHNA, NOT A HISTORICAL PERSON, NOT A MYTHOLOGICAL CHARACTER.. HE IS GOD, UNEQUIVOCALLY, UNDOUBTEDLY ... (janmastami special)

             Once again it has come. The most cherished and relished celebration in devotee community. The atmosphere is filled up with enthusiasm of devotees, emotions are unparalleled , devotion is unequaled. The anticipation is increasing, the patience is getting intolerable. What a good fortune, the supreme personality of Godhead, svayam bhagavan, lord shree Krishna, who is the origin of everything, the proprietor of everything, the by default enjoyer of everything that is manifest and also of the unmanifest. He is the absolute truth, no truth exist beyond him, or without him. He, who is the original personality of Godhead, is the origin of all incarnations , plenary portions or portions of the plenary portions of the Lord. Mahavishnu or Vishnu, who is a expansion of balaram, who is the initial expansion of Krishna, when inhales there is devastation, and when exhales, all living entities come into existence again, from his pores beneath the hair, numerous universes, coming into existence each moment,. He who is the creator of Brahma,the creator of this material world, shiva, the destroyer and other demigods engaged in different service, is Krishna. His external energy, mahamaya, in the form of Durga, or Kali, is in charge of maintaining the world, and illusioning the atheists, who don’t want to surrender to Krishna. And his internal potency, yogmaya, is providing a situation in spiritual world, so that its only love, only love, out of simplicity and innocency, that prevails in the spiritual world. And the same lord, once in a life of Brahma, decides to come down to this material world, that to in the form a newborn child. Actually Krishna is unborn, there was never a time , when Krishna didn’t exist,. But still he takes birth. Because Krishna is RASARAJ, he takes pleasure in exchange of emotion through devotion. He is not a kind of God , who takes pleasure in displaying his godhood. The only purpose for his coming, is to fulfil the desire of his devotees. As a friend, as a son, as servant, as a conjugal lover. And in this process, attracting the conditioned living entity, who are suffering in the whirlpool of material existence, to come back to him, to live a life of eternity and bliss.

              Lets all together, on his birthday, pray today , to guide all of us. Lets make our heart free from lust, greed, anger, envy, pride to accommodate Krishna inside. Lets pray for the unfortunate souls, who are bereft of Krishna’s mercy, they develop some attraction, pave their path towards godhead. In this age of kali, Krishna has come in the form his holy name, where he has invested, all his energy. One who constantly, and sincerely, and attentively chant his name with devotion, can access Krishna full , in due course of time. 
Lets chant loudly,
‘ HARE KRSNA HARE KRSNA KRSNA KRSNA HARE HARE
HARE RAMA HARE RAMA RAMA RAMA HARE HARE’
And welcome Krishna to this world, and to our heart..
thank you..
