Hare Krishna Guru Maharaja,

Please accept my humble obeisances at your feet. All glories to Srila Prabhupada.


I am writing on behalf of the devotees at ISKCON of Connecticut to humbly request you to enlighten us at our virtual Sunday program. The class is from 4PM - 5PM EST (3PM - 4PM CST) followed by arati and kirtan. Please let us know if any Sunday in March works for you.


Your insignificant servant

Srinivasacarya dasa


ASA - Hare Krsna.

So far, any Sunday but 14th is fine. It will be a great honor to make a presentation.

What are the demographics of the audience?

Can we make the topic of broad and lasting interest?

HpS - We only want to find a little place in Srila Prabhupada's Sankirtan. Maybe you can introduce ideas like BG Chapter 10 to your students. Specific energetic incarnations. Among beasts I am the lion... vibutimat sattva.

Thank you.

Learning to prepare for death

4 years, 4 months ago by mittalga in Hot Topics

My dear Maharaja,

Namaste! Jai SriRam!


I am struggling to convince my kids about creating regular meditation habit. So these days I have been contemplating a lot on “why one should meditate?”. 


As soon as we are born, it is guaranteed that we will die. But we don’t prepare ourselves on how to die. At the time of death, there won’t be any person or object outside with the person who is dying. Death is totally inner experience. Death means that body and senses have shut down i.e. no outside experience. 


One needs to be comfortable with one's own being at the time of death. For criminals, solitary confinement is the worst punishment. It is because most people are not at peace within their own being. We don't know for how long but we are sure to be without outside world at the time of death. For some, senses and body may weaken for months or weeks or for some it may be hours or minutes. But we will have to rest in one's our being in the end.


Meditation is method by which one rests in one's inner being. Meditation is being comfortable with our own being. It is preparation for death. 


After I was coming with this answer, I was reminded of the purpose of Bhagavatam and the questions of Parikshit. Parikshit asked the same question to Sukadeva about how one should die. Bhagavatam is answer to that question of how to die in right way.


Srimad Bhagavatam chapter 12/5 is the final conclusion of Parishit's question about how to die.


Regards,

Gaurav Mittal


HpS - ASA - Thank you. AGTSP! I read the chapter summary on vedabase.io. Was very nice, but Sukadeva Goswami's first answer is also very nice: https://vedabase.io/en/library/sb/2/1/11/


The verses before it highlight the comment.

"Hare Krsna". Hope the Kapi Dhvaja and our Blog posts can help you in this endeavor!!!

Hare Krishna Maharaj,

Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada!


We are looking for guest speakers for this Sunday (2/14) and also for Lord Nityananda Prabhu’s appearance day (2/25-Thursday night). We will be honored by your association if you can give class on one of those days depending on your availability. Will it be possible? Please let me know. Thank you for your time and consideration 

Your servant

HpS - AGTSP. Paoho. Can we try to speak about Lord Nityananda on the 25th? 14th is coming up too fast.




Maharaj,

Obeisances. Jaya Prabhupada.


This is Balarama Dasa from San Diego. I was wondering if you’d be free to speak on a Sunday night via zoom here in SD ? I was thinking that you could speak on March 14 630pm to 730 pm.


Anyway Maharaja,

Please let me know what you think.


Your servant,

Balarama Dasa


HpS - ASA -- Thank you! Radha Giri-dhari, Ki Jai!!!! It would be fine for us. Paoho!!!
