One Flew Over The Cuckoo’s Nest (starring Tim Lee / PADA / Puranjana)

 

In the mode of goodness, by development of knowledge, one can understand what is what, but the mode of ignorance is just the opposite. Everyone under the spell of the mode of ignorance becomes mad, and a madman cannot understand what is what. Instead of making advancement, one becomes degraded. The definition of the mode of ignorance is stated in the Vedic literature: under the spell of ignorance, one cannot understand the thing as it is.” (Bg 14.8)

The History of the World reflects this factual Will of the Lord…


…and it will continue to be enacted until the living beings are attached to the service of the Lord.

***

The Lord was pacified after killing those kings who were burdensome to the earth. They were puffed up with their military strength, their horses, elephants, chariots, infantry, etc. He Himself was not a party in the fight. He simply created hostility between the powerful administrators, and they fought amongst themselves. He was like the wind which causes friction between bamboos and so sparks a fire. [Read More…]

THE LOTUS HAS A KIND OF HONEY…

…which is transcendentally relished by the devotees. They are like the bees who are always after the honey.

Śrīla Rūpa Gosvāmī, the great devotee ācārya of the Gauḍīya-Vaiṣṇava-sampradāya, has sung a song about this lotus honey, comparing himself to the bee: [Read More…]

On hearing that the most dear Kṛṣṇa was approaching Dvārakādhāma…

…magnanimous Vasudeva, Akrūra, Ugrasena, Balarāma (the superhumanly powerful), Pradyumna, Cārudeṣṇa and Sāmba the son of Jāmbavatī, all extremely happy, abandoned resting, sitting and dining.

Vasudeva: Son of King Śūrasena, husband of Devakī and father of Lord Śrī Kṛṣṇa. He is the brother of Kuntī and father of Subhadrā. Subhadrā was married with her cousin Arjuna, and this system is still prevalent in some parts of India. Vasudeva was appointed minister of Ugrasena, and later on he married eight daughters of Ugrasena’s brother Devaka. Devakī is only one of them. Kaṁsa was his brother-in-law, and Vasudeva accepted voluntary imprisonment by Kaṁsa on mutual agreement to deliver the eighth son of Devakī. This was foiled by the will of Kṛṣṇa. As maternal uncle of the Pāṇḍavas, he took active parts in the purificatory process of the Pāṇḍavas. He sent for the priest Kaśyapa at the Śatasṛṅga Parvata, and he executed the functions. When Kṛṣṇa appeared within the bars of Kaṁsa’s prison house, He was transferred by Vasudeva to the house of Nanda Mahārāja, the foster father of Kṛṣṇa, at Gokula. [Read More…]

TRUSTING SRILA PRABHUPADA Restore His Divine Mission With His BBT, DOM, Awakened Followers

We are witnessing everywhere a total collapse of trust in the ISKCON leadership, especially the Governing Body Commission, and at the same time, an awakening of faith and trust, amongst old and newer devotees alike, in ISKCON’s Founder-Acharya Srila Prabhupada. The falsehood that others have replaced Srila Prabhupada is crumbling in the light of actual events which have caused millions to shift their trust from the untrustworthy to the Founder-Acharya, the pure devotee of the Lord.

Every devotee knows that ISKCON has changed drastically from when Srila Prabhupada entrusted it to us in 1977 upon his physical departure. ISKCON is today completely different. As seen by careful study, and as chronicled in Vol. 1-7 of this series, ISKCON is not now just “different,” but it is so deeply deviated that it no longer represents Srila Prabhupada’s teachings. Instead, ISKCON has been transformed into a hodgepodge slew of concocted and speculative doctrines which are actually very much contrary to his teachings. I.e., Srila Prabhupada’s original, transcendental ISKCON has been covered, stolen, spoiled, adulterated, and effectively lost due to gross and pervasive disobedience to its own Founder-Acharya. Today’s ISKCON is but a shadow of its former self, an imposter entity which commits great offenses against the pure devotee of the Lord with almost every act of every participant. [Read More…]
