Tirobhav ...20 years after...

All glories to Srila Prabhupada.


All glories to H. H. Swarup Damodara Maharaj


All glories to H. H. Hanumat Presaka Swami Maharaj


Hare Krsna, dear Guru Maharaj. Please accept my humble obeisances at Your sweet lotus feet.


HpS/ASA - In Goloka we have lotus feet. I guess they are sweet when it is harvest time for the grapes. Maybe salty other times.

Cows like to lick Krsna's lotus feet, no?


Thank you dear Guru Maharaj for giving me your Darshan at Bangalore. I treasure every moment of that precious association.


Attended Sripad Maharaj's 20th Tirobhav today at Sri Radha Krishnachandra ISKCON temple , Manipur. Grand programme despite curfew being imposed here.


Distributed a total of 5 SB sets this year....4 sets in the month of Bhadra....all your kripa dear Guru Maharaj. Nothing was easy...will never be easy without your mercy dear Guru Maharaj. So far...yet always here in my heart...your protection and shelter is all I pray for.


Served Vaishnavas at our mother's death anniversary on 8th Oct. Father read some verses from Bhagavat Gita. He chose 8.5 , 8.6 and 8.7 Told everybody that 8.7 is the most important. Very simple programme with Bhagavat Gita class, kirtan and prasadam.


Every month the congregation arrange some programme. November 14th, there will be kirtan and Congregational chanting at an Old Age Home. Going to distribute Srila Prabhupada's books too. Praying for your blessings Guru Maharaj.


Got tickets for Vraj...going on 1st Nov for Kartik seva...staying 4 days at Sri RadhaKund...every nook and corner of Sri RadhaKund reminds me of you dear Guru Maharaj...NOI 9, 10, 11.

Staying till Goverdhan Puja. How best can we absorb the pastimes of Vraj? Kindly enlighten us dear Guru Maharaj.


HpS - How can baby best each breakfast mother is offering? Expect that most of it will be her efforts to feed us, not our efforts to eat.

Try to see the amazing things that are happening all around you.

Do not expect in the foreground great lessons from Braja. Expect practical lessons.


Still continuing with our online seva.


Your aspiring servant,

Sarad Gaurangi DD

Hare Krsna, Gurudeva,

AGTSP,PAMHO.


We have seen that practically there is transfering of physical/monetary assets in this world, like inheritance, charity. Does that apply to Spiritual Credits also, like chanting one round donate/transfer to person X ?

Does that apply to Pious / Impious activities? I take people sins on myself, and free them little bit.

obeisances.

trying to serve


HPS/ASA - Everyone has free will. that is bound by internal or external energy.

little child needs one of two big sisters to like.

maya or radha.

they can offer different facilities, but child has choice. three years old but has choice and intelligence.

in body of bacteria, seems almost no choice to accept or reject.

Faith in Chanting

5 days, 16 hours ago by harsh_horse in Special Category A

Hare Krsna Maharaj, Gurudeva

It seems we have lost faith in holy name. We were chanting as we gave promise to you.

We can not differentiate it from mundane sound .

We are also sure that we might be doing offenses against holy name.


will it be possible to give one line insights on


1.To blaspheme the devotees who have dedicated their lives for propagating the holy name of the Lord.


criticize or share hurt can lead to blasphemy ?


how then we give feedback or even share our hurt/ stupid expectation, especially as there are material relationship involved with people who are chanting?


secondly 7.7.32 Translation says

“One should always remember the Supreme Personality of Godhead in His localized representation as the Paramātmā, who is situated in the core of every living entity’s heart. Thus one should offer respect to every living entity according to that living entity’s position or manifestation.”

Vedabase

Viśvanātha Cakravartī Ṭhākura (VCT)

“By the mind, one should respect all living beings with their individual desires, thinking that the Supreme Lord is situated in all beings.”

The interesting difference

The Sanskrit is:

iti bhūtāni manasā kāmais taiḥ sādhu mānayet

SP's rendering emphasizes:

“according to that living entity’s position or manifestation.”

VCT makes the kāmaiḥ taiḥ component explicit:

“with their individual desires

however

Noi 5 says --

“One should mentally honor the devotee who chants the holy name of Lord Kṛṣṇa".


What about those who are not chanting? Is there any verse in NOI that addresses how to regard non-chanters / non-devotees, and how should that instruction be integrated with the universal respect taught in SB 7.7.32?


seems

SB 7.7.32 gives the inner vision and the baseline of respect for all.

NOI 5 (and NOI 3) gives the external discrimination that protects one’s own bhakti while still allowing the universal respect to operate at the appropriate level for each living being



To instruct a faithless person about the glories of the holy name-- This what we do in mass preaching, on the other hand holy name is the only remedy. Then what do we preach individually or collectively



HpS - ASA --- Hare Krsna.

Our only solution is to start by chanting the pancha tattva maha mantra.

skc

pna

sad

gdh

sv agbhv


this sometimes inspires us to read CC... CC 1.7 is nice chapter.


also, getting up early and chanting, even if it kills us in one day is perfect. then we will get a better birth for chanting. maybe we will be classmates of prahlada.

womb of stimulating mother.


of course, no illict sex... any specific focus for advice?


#1 look for the mercy that Krsna sends as soon as we chant.

take it.

expect immediate progress. even if it is gradual, each step is nice.

all obstacles are really help or tests or actually obstacles that can be smasshed.

noi, three!!!!!

Oink! 🐷

Hare Krsna, Maharaj, AGTSP, PAMHO,


In link https://monkeywarrior.com/detail/16491/ , H. H. asked.


What is Maha avatara link???


https://www.netflix.com/in/title/82131939


Its stream by Netflix, above is the complete movie link


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u7OxDaU_qcA&list=PLMlnGk_YpBt4dsarBgcKPwUnHZWYbUTFV


above are some clips posted by Netflix on youtube for marketing.



HpS - Same comment as Candra mukhi Devi Dasi cite.

For us seems terrible.

Maybe we are crazy.


Well, first it is Hindi, no?


Is there promo in English?


In Srila Prabhupada's books there is not even a little distress that Prahlada experiences, no? He is like the lotus. Even though in the mud he rises above it.


Some of the clips we were able to see of Prahlada were nice.


If we follow Bhakti yoga by Srila Prabhupada's grace then we can actually begin to experience the three worlds, otherwise the animations are just as things are seen from Bhu mandala, no?
