THE GREAT DEVOTEE UDDHAVA SOON CAME BACK FROM THE ABODE OF THE LORD TO THE HUMAN PLANE…

….and wiping his eyes, he awakened his reminiscence of the past and spoke to Vidura in a pleasing mood.

When Uddhava was fully absorbed in the transcendental ecstasy of love of God, he actually forgot all about the external world. The pure devotee lives constantly in the abode of the Supreme Lord, even in the present body, which apparently belongs to this world. The pure devotee is not exactly on the bodily plane, since he is absorbed in the transcendental thought of the Supreme.

Govinda devi dasi: Srila Prabhupada didn’t want things changed

 

Govinda dasi: …that in 1966, ’67 and ’68, Hayagriva spent many, many hours alone with Srila Prabhupada, discussing the different aspects of the editing work. They went over each verse extensively, and Srila Prabhupada was actually quite clear in expressing what he wanted. He, even in the case of legal matters, or something else that he might not know how things worked, he knew what he wanted. So he had an uncanny ability to see through any situation. That’s an understatement, and I’m putting that so that people can appreciate it.

Don’t Depend on the Internet for your access to Prabhupada!

24. April 2024 By Leave a Comment

Hare Krishna

Today many devotees depend on the internet for accessing Srila Prabhupada’s books and audio and video recordings. This is very dangerous.

Gradually, day by day, the internet is becoming more and more controlled and the information we see is what the big tech companies want us to see, no longer what we want to see. And big tech companies don’t want us hearing from Srila Prabhupada about Krishna.

There was a time when search engines would show us the websites we were looking for, but now they often hide the websites they know we want to see and show us the sites they want us to see… There was a time when the big video sharing platforms would show us the videos we wanted to see, but now, instead, they try to get us to watch the videos they want us to watch…

The way the internet works is subtly and gradually changing, it is transforming from a searcable repository of the world’s information to a very controlled system feeding us the content it’s controllers want us to see.

So the bottom line is it is getting more and more difficult to access Srila Prabhupada and Krishna conscious material on the internet. And it is only a question of time, as the controllers of the internet tighten things up more and more, our access to Prabhuapda on the internet will be cut off. [Read More…]

I am trying to teach what You have forgotten

24. April 2024 By Leave a Comment

Reporter, London, September 11, 1969: What do you try and teach, sir?

Prabhupada: I am trying to teach what you have forgotten.

Reporter: Which is what?

Prabhupada: That is God. Some of you are saying there is no God, some of you are saying God is dead, and some of you are saying God is impersonal or void. These are all nonsense. I want to teach all these nonsense that there is God. That is my mission. Any nonsense can come to me, I shall prove that there is God. That is my Krishna consciousness movement. It is a challenge to the atheistic people. There is God. As we are sitting here face to face, you can see God face to face. If you are sincere and if you are serious, that is possible. Unfortunately, we are trying to forget God; therefore we are embracing so many miseries of life. So I am simply preaching that you have Krishna consciousness and be happy. Don’t be swayed away by these nonsense waves of maya, or illusion. That is my request.
