Vaisnava Aparadha Amongst Devotees (BHAKTA MANUEL, CHILE)

14 years, 1 month ago by Manuel Poblete

All glories to Srila Prabhupada!

Please accept my humble obeisances. These days I've thought about the letter sent by Visnupriya Devi Dasi, and that I feel the same, in fact, I go away for a long time devotees of this situation, I do not understand how the devotees can relate to so hard compared to other devotees who have dedicated their lives to the preaching of the holy name, now when I hear suchcomments, I prefer to get away, I think that the devotees should be broad in the delivery of mercy, as Sri Caitanya taught us and Srila Prabhupada.  I wish I could better handle such situations, but do not know how.

Excuse me for writing so often, but it takes many turns in my head.

Your aspiring servant,

Bhakta Manuel
PD: Raman Reti Dasi, says she will write soon.

 

HpS - ASA   ----     AGTSP!           One approach is to always remember that in Vrndavana only Krsna and Balarama kill demons. If there is criticism of devotees we can always chant            Hare Krsna!      Hare Rama!       and be sure that Krsna and Rama will adjust things in ISKCON as needed.     When Arjuna started killing his cousins it was only after Krsna personally told him that he wanted him to do it.
Of course, Krsna may personally put us in a position as father, mother, public leader, where we have to correct, criticize people for their own good.  Then we will know that Krsna is telling us to do this and He will help us.  Otherwise we can just avoid these conflicts and call for Hara to call for the help of Krsna and Rama, like the Vrijabasis!

 Waiting for Mataji!!!!

Gaurav Prabhu - Going back to Krishna

14 years, 1 month ago by mittalga

My dear Maharaja,

Dandavat pranams.

In 1996, I wrote a letter to my grandmother asking her to chant 16 rounds to Hare Krishna mahamantra. As soon as she received the letter, she started chanting 16 rounds. Since then she would chant 16 rounds of Hare Krishna mahamantra and 8 rounds of Om Namah Shivaya. She felt so proud of me that she would carry that letter with her and call me as her GURU. She would daily wake up around 4 am and would do daily worship for many hours. She would take care of dieties, do arati twice a day at dawn and dusk, read Ramayana especially Sundarkand, worship Tulsi plant etc. Even when she would do house hold chores, she would be singing bhajans especially in the morning. Her sadhana continued till few years ago. Not only she led devotional life, she was extremely unselfish and served people around her without expectation. She passed away 2 weeks ago at the age of 94.

In one after-death ritual, we keep the ball of flour for 3 days after doing some worship. That is used to predict the next life of that person. On the 3rd day, a very beautiful Tulsi plant was drawn on the flour ball. It was so clear and beautiful that my aunty could not believe it. Panditji concluded that Tulsi plant shows that she has gone back to Goloka.

Krishna takes care of His devotees (and everyone). In Kali-yuga, it is very easy to go back to Goloka by chanting the names of Hari.

Today, I attended a bhajan program by Gauravani. He started with Guru Nanak's bhajan by showing respect to different spiritual traditions. Then, he humbly mentioned that his heart is with Krishna and chanted Krishna bhajans. Later on, he showed gratitude towards the host. He mentioned that he is ordinary person and felt gratitude towards those who are showing love towards him. I felt that he is sincere. He felt very appreciative of his devotional qualities and felt like blessing him to advance further in bhakti.

Generally, I don't get impressed or inspired by people who claim themselves as great devotee or act as great devotees. I like to associate or meet with ordinary simple people who are trying to be simple and ordinary devotee.
Your servant,
Gaurav  

HpS -  Jaya!  Hare Krsna!    I was wondering what had happened to you!   No, news.  Thank you for the nice letter.
One devotee aksed Srila Prabhupada if the "Christians" could go back to Godhead. Prabhupada said, "Yes, if they follow Jesus Christs instructions".
Devotee asked how they could know Jesus Christs instructions. Prabhupada said that some Priest would tell them.
Haw!   Haw!    Yes, is so simple.   Just have to do it!!!
