The real Peace Formula by Bhaktin Malati

Posted by  |   | 

The real Peace Formula by Bhaktin Malati The great mistake of modern civilization is to encroach upon others’ property as though it were one's own and to thereby create an unnecessary disturbance of the laws of nature. These laws are very strong. No living entity can violate them. Only one who is Krishna conscious can easily overcome the stringency of the laws of nature and thus become happy and peaceful in the world.

Valueing Vedic Tradition -Rohini Nandan Prabhu 2015 10 28 SB 10 70 7-9 ISKCON Chowpatty

Posted by  |   | 

Valueing Vedic Tradition -Rohini Nandan Prabhu 2015 10 28 SB 10 70 7-9 ISKCON Chowpatty SB 10.70.7-9 upasthāyārkam udyantaṁ  tarpayitvātmanaḥ kalāḥ devān ṛṣīn pitṝn vṛddhān  viprān abhyarcya cātmavān dhenūnāṁ rukma-śṛṅgīnāṁ  sādhvīnāṁ mauktika-srajām payasvinīnāṁ gṛṣṭīnāṁ  sa-vatsānāṁ su-vāsasām dadau rūpya-khurāgrāṇāṁ  kṣaumājina-tilaiḥ saha alaṅkṛtebhyo viprebhyo  badvaṁ badvaṁ dine dine Word for word: upasthāya — worshiping; arkam — the sun; udyantam — rising; tarpayitvā — propitiating; ātmanaḥ — His own; kalāḥ — expansions; devān — the demigods; ṛṣīn — sages; pitṝn — and forefathers; vṛddhān — His elders; viprān — and brāhmaṇas; abhyarcya — worshiping; ca — and; ātma-vān — self-possessed; dhenūnām — of cows; rukma — (covered with) gold; śṛṅgīnām — whose horns; sādhvīnām — good-natured; mauktika — of pearls; srajām — with necklaces; payasvinīnām — giving milk; gṛṣṭīnām — having given birth only once; sa-vatsānām — together with their calves; su-vāsasām — nicely dressed; dadau — He gave; rūpya — (covered with) silver; khura — of their hooves; agrāṇām — the fronts; kṣauma — linen; ajina — deerskins; tilaiḥ — and sesame seeds; saha — together with; alaṅkṛtebhyaḥ — who were given ornaments; viprebhyaḥ — to learned brāhmaṇas; badvam badvam — (one hundred and seven) groups of 13,084 (thus totaling 1,400,000); dine dine — each day. Translation: Each day the Lord worshiped the rising sun and propitiated the demigods, sages and forefathers, who are all His expansions. The self-possessed Lord would then carefully worship His elders and the brāhmaṇas. To those well-attired brāhmaṇas He would offer herds of tame and peaceful cows with gold-plated horns and pearl necklaces. These cows were also dressed in fine cloth, and the fronts of their hooves were plated with silver. Providers of abundant milk, they had each given birth only once and were accompanied by their calves. Daily the Lord gave many groups of 13,084 cows to the learned brāhmaṇas, together with linen, deerskins and sesame seeds. Purport: Śrīdhara Svāmī quotes several Vedic scriptures to show that in the context of Vedic ritual, a badva here refers to 13,084 cows. The words badvaṁ badvaṁ dine dine indicate that Lord Kṛṣṇa would give the learned brāhmaṇas many such groups of cows on a daily basis. Śrīdhara Svāmī further gives evidence that the usual practice for great saintly kings in previous ages was to give 107 such badva, or groups of 13,084 cows. Thus the total number of cows given in this sacrifice, known as Mañcāra, is 14 lakhs, or 1,400,000. The words alaṅkṛtebhyo viprebhyaḥ indicate that in Lord Kṛṣṇa’s kingdom the brāhmaṇas were given nice clothes and ornaments and were thus well attired. In Kṛṣṇa, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Śrīla Prabhupāda writes with striking and profound insight on these pastimes of Lord Kṛṣṇa. The reader is strongly urged to study this book, which contains an invaluable wealth of information and commentary on the pastimes described in the Tenth Canto of Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam. Our humble attempt here can never equal the consummate purity and skill of our great master. Still, as a service offered at his lotus feet, we are simply presenting the original Sanskrit text of the Tenth Canto, word-for-word meanings, a clear translation and essential commentary, for the most part based on the statements of the great spiritual masters in our line.

Narad Muni's Thoughts,Words And Action For Krishna's Service -Radhanath Swami SB 10.70.4-5 brāhme muhūrta utthāya  vāry upaspṛśya mādhavaḥ dadhyau prasanna-karaṇa  ātmānaṁ tamasaḥ param ekaṁ svayaṁ-jyotir ananyam avyayaṁ  sva-saṁsthayā nitya-nirasta-kalmaṣam brahmākhyam asyodbhava-nāśa-hetubhiḥ  sva-śaktibhir lakṣita-bhāva-nirvṛtim Word for word: brāhme muhūrte — during the most suitable period of the day for spiritual activity, before sunrise; utthāya — rising; vāri — water; upaspṛśya — touching; mādhavaḥ — Lord Kṛṣṇa; dadhyau — meditated; prasanna — clear; karaṇaḥ — His mind; ātmānam — upon Himself; tamasaḥ — ignorance; param — beyond; ekam — exclusive; svayam-jyotiḥ — self-luminous; ananyam — without another; avyayam — infallible; sva-saṁsthayā — by His own nature; nitya — perpetually; nirasta — dispelling; kalmaṣam — contamination; brahma-ākhyam — known as Brahman, the Absolute Truth; asya — of this (universe); udbhava — of creation; nāśa — and destruction; hetubhiḥ — by the causes; sva — His own; śaktibhiḥ — energies; lakṣita — manifest; bhāva — existence; nirvṛtim — joy. Translation: Lord Mādhava would rise during the brāhma-muhūrta period and touch water. With a clear mind He would then meditate upon Himself, the single, self-luminous, unequaled and infallible Supreme Truth, known as Brahman, who by His very nature ever dispels all contamination, and who through His personal energies, which cause the creation and destruction of this universe, manifests His own pure and blissful existence. Purport: Viśvanātha Cakravartī Ṭhākura points out that the word bhāva in this verse indicates the created beings. Thus the compound word lakṣita-bhāva-nirvṛtim means that Lord Kṛṣṇa gives pleasure to the created beings through His various energies. Of course, the soul is never created, but our material, conditioned existence is created by the interaction of the Lord’s energies. One who is favored by the Lord’s internal potency can understand the nature of the Absolute Truth; this understanding is called Kṛṣṇa consciousness. In Bhagavad-gītā Lord Kṛṣṇa explains that His energies are divided into inferior and superior, or material and spiritual, potencies. The Brahma-saṁhitā further explains that the material potency acts like a shadow, following the movements of the spiritual reality, which is the Lord Himself and His spiritual potency. When one is favored by Lord Kṛṣṇa, He reveals Himself to the surrendered soul, and thus the same creation that formerly covered the soul becomes an impetus for spiritual enlightenment.

What is the Goal of Life by Bhaktin Malati

Posted by  |   | 

What is the Goal of Life by Bhaktin Malati We think that making the mind and body happy is the ultimate goal of life. We think if we supply ourselves with all of the demands of the mind and body, then how much happier can we be? Thus, the soul inside is forgotten, and we are unable to experience the supremely blissful state found in regaining our spiritual consciousness. Then, we go through life somehow feeling empty and unfulfilled and having no clue as to why, even if we have everything we think we want. Therefore, engaging in the practices that allow us to regain our spiritual consciousness is the ultimate goal of human life.

Devotional Service Is Our Saving Grace -Kadamba Kanana Swami Maharaj 2015 10 20 SB 10 69 41

Posted by  |   | 

Devotional Service Is Our Saving Grace -Kadamba Kanana Swami Maharaj 2015 10 20 SB 10 69 41 SB 10.69.41 śrī-śuka uvāca ity ācarantaṁ sad-dharmān  pāvanān gṛha-medhinām tam eva sarva-geheṣu  santam ekaṁ dadarśa ha Word for word: śrī-śukaḥ uvāca — Śukadeva Gosvāmī said; iti — thus; ācarantam — performing; sat — spiritual; dharmān — the principles of religion; pāvanān — purifying; gṛha-medhinām — for householders; tam — Him; eva — indeed; sarva — in all; geheṣu — the palaces; santam — present; ekam — in one form; dadarśa ha — he saw. Translation: Śukadeva Gosvāmī said: Thus in every palace Nārada saw the Lord in His same personal form, executing the transcendental principles of religion that purify those engaged in household affairs. Purport: In this verse Śukadeva Gosvāmī repeats what the Lord has Himself explained. As Śrīla Prabhupāda writes in Kṛṣṇa: “The Supreme Personality of Godhead was engaged in His so-called household affairs in order to teach people how one can sanctify one’s household life although one may be attached to the imprisonment of material existence. Actually, one is obliged to continue the term of material existence because of household life. But the Lord, being very kind upon householders, demonstrated the path of sanctifying ordinary household life. Because Kṛṣṇa is the center of all activities, a Kṛṣṇa conscious householder’s life is transcendental to Vedic injunctions and is automatically sanctified.” As stated in text 2 of this chapter, all the Lord’s activities in the many palaces were performed by the Lord’s single spiritual form (ekena vapuṣā), which manifested in many places at once. This vision was revealed to Nārada because of his desire to see it and the Lord’s desire to show it to him. Śrīla Viśvanātha Cakravartī points out that the other residents of Dvārakā could see Kṛṣṇa only in the particular part of the city they themselves occupied, and not anywhere else, even if they would sometimes go to another precinct on some business. Thus the Lord gave a special view of His pastimes to His beloved devotee Nārada Muni.
