Questions at Ultimate Self Realization Course (HG Sankarshan Adhikari Pr.)
Question: How to Be Blissful When Materially Burdened?
| ||||||
Please accept my humble obeisances.
All glories to Srila Prabhupada. Dear Gurudeva, I would like to know how can a devotee be blissful when he has a heavy material commitment. I have seen devotees having financial difficulties who are forced to work hard to make money to support their family in many ways. Although we know we are not this body and everything is temporary, some are still forced to struggle materially according to their karma. How can a devotee remain blissful and lead a simple life in such tough situations? Thank you. |
Answer: Work Hard for Krishna
| ||||||
As long as one thinks that his family and household paraphernalia belong to him, he must be in anxiety. It is only when he sees that he is working hard to maintain Krishna's household that he can be free from anxiety. In other words, the home must be established as an ashram, a place where all the family members are being trained how to become pure devotees of Krishna. In this way his hard labor will be transferred into devotional service, and he will taste the ecstasy of bhakti even while he is struggling with his job.

Question: How Important is Cow Protection?
| |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Hare Krishna, Guru Maharaja.
My humble obeisances to you. All glories to Srila Prabhupada! How important is cow protection for Vaishnavas, the devotees of the Lord? Could it be that cow care is one of the kinds of devotional service that attracts Krishna's merciful blessings upon the devotees?

Unlimited Resources at Pure Devotee's Command
Chant.... HARE KRISHNA HARE KRISHNA KRISHNA KRISHNA HARE HARE HARE RAM HARE RAM RAM RAM HARE HARE ....and be happy.
By dint of his complete surrender unto Krishna, Krishna's pure devotee has Krishna as his only possession. And because Krishna is the possessor of everything, when the devotee possesses Krishna such a pure devotee's position is as good as being the possessor of everything. Therefore the pure devotee has unlimited resources at his command to engage in the Lord's service. He cannot be lacking in any way. This is confirmed in the following verse from the Bhagavad-gita:
ananyās' cintayanto māṁ
ye janāḥ paryupāsate
teṣāṁ nityābhiyuktānāṁ
yoga-kṣemaṁ vahāmy aham
"But those who always worship Me with exclusive devotion, meditating on My transcendental form, to them I carry what they lack, and I preserve what they have."
--Bhagavad-gita 9.22
For those of us who are not yet completely pure devotees the Lord gives us as much resources as we can properly engage in His service.

With Krishna As Your Best Friend There's Nothing to Fear
When you have as your best friend the most powerful, influential, person in all of existence without whose sanction nothing at all can happen, you have nothing to fear under any and all circumstances. That person is none other than Sri Krishna. This is why Krishna's devotees are fearless. And that is why those who distribute Krishna consciousness are the best friends of the human society.

Pralhad Maharaja says: My Lord, who are never conquered by anyone, I am certainly not afraid of Your ferocious mouth and tongue, Your eyes bright like the sun or Your frowning eyebrows. I do not fear Your sharp, pinching teeth, Your garland of intestines, Your mane soaked with blood, or Your high, wedge like ears. Nor do I fear Your tumultuous roaring, which makes elephants flee to distant places, or Your nails, which are meant to kill Your enemies.
O most powerful, insurmountable Lord, who are kind to the fallen souls, I have been put into the association of demons as a result of my activities, and therefore I am very much afraid of my condition of life within this material world. When will that moment come when You will call me to the shelter of Your lotus feet, which are the ultimate goal for liberation from conditional life?

Question by a devotee:
How to Keep Faith When I Can't Go to Temple Often?
| |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
I read your daily sayings with attention and learn a lot from them. However, I recently lost my job and since transport is very expensive and the Radha Krishna temple is far away from where I live, how do I keep my association of devotees ongoing? I miss going to the temple but can't afford to do so anymore, and I am finding it hard to keep my faith sometimes when I am tired and discouraged.
Can you provide any guidance on how I can keep my faith alive even if I pray at home? Many thanks

Hare Krishna Rocks the Universe
In the material world we see that so many musicians come and go, some of them being prominent and influential for some time until they vanish into oblivion and are completely forgotten. But there is one type of music which never loses its power and is so potent that it impacts the entire universe. That music is the congregational chanting of the Hare Krishna mahamantra. It is so powerful that simply by Lord Caitanya's performance of it 500 years ago in the area of Navadvipa in India a wave of love of God was introduced which will gradually inundate the entire universe. Srila Prabhupada describes this as follows in his purport to Sri Caitanya Caritamrita, Adi Lila, Chapter 13, Text 32:
"One may raise the question how all three worlds became inundated with love of Krishna, since Caitanya Mahaprabhu performed kirtana only in the Navadvipa area. The answer is that Lord Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu is Krishna Himself. The entire cosmic manifestation results from the Lord's first setting it in motion. Similarly, since the sankirtana movement was first set in motion five hundred years ago by Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu's desire that it spread all over the universe, the Krishna consciousness movement, in continuity of that same motion, is now spreading all over the world, and in this way it will gradually spread all over the universe. With the spread of the Krishna consciousness movement, everyone will merge in an ocean of love of Krishna."
By the mercy of Srila Prabhupada, who is spreading Lord Caitanya's movement all over the world, everyone now has the opportunity to awaken the dormant pure love of God, which has been sleeping since time immemorial in their hearts.

Krishna means all-attractive. This is the supreme name, Krishna, "All-attractive." He can attract everyone

TRANSLATION
Yasoda-dulala, Govinda-Gopala. Yasoda-dulala means pet son of Mother Yasoda. Govinda-Gopala. And He's cowherd's boy—Govinda, giving pleasure to the cows. Vrndavana-purandara—the chief of the Vrndavana land. He's the center of attraction for everyone in Vrndavana. Gopi-priya-jana. He's very favorable to the gopis—Gopi-priya. Radhika-ramana, and He's always enjoying the company of Radharani, therefore His name is Radhika-ramana. Bhuvana-sundara-bara. So, He attracted so many gopis. That means He's attractive to the whole universe. Nobody is more attractive than Krsna within this universe—or within anywhere. Therefore He's called Bhuvana- sundara-bara. "Bara" means the chief.

May There Be Universal Spiritual Awakening
Chant....
The Srimad Bhagavatam calls for a revolution of spiritual awakening throughout the entire universe:
svasty astu viśvasya khalaḥ prasīdatāṁ
dhyāyantu bhūtāni śivaṁ mitho dhiyā
manaś ca bhadraṁ bhajatād adhokṣaje
āveśyatāṁ no matir apy ahaitukī
"May there be good fortune throughout the universe, and may all envious persons be pacified. May all living entities become calm by practicing bhakti-yoga, for by accepting devotional service they will think of each other's welfare. Therefore let us all engage in the service of the supreme transcendence, Lord Sri Krishna, and always remain absorbed in thought of Him."
--Srimad Bhagavatam 5.18.9
This is what is needed on this planet now more than ever, more than anything else. Therefore all the world leaders should meet together and discuss how this entire planet can be inundated with Krishna consciousness as soon as possible. In this way all the problems that are besieging the human population will be saved in one simple stroke.

KRISHNA CONSCIOUSNESS AND MATERIAL WORLD......(from The ultimate self realization course - 23.01.2014)
We are inviting the entire world to take to Krishna consciousness. By becoming Krishna conscious everyone will become perfect. In whatever position they are situated they will become perfect in that position. The parents will be perfect parents. The teachers will be perfect teachers. The leaders will become perfect leaders. The philosophers will all be perfect philosophers. The scientists will become perfect scientists. All religionists will manifest perfection in their particular religions. In short, the entire earth planet will become a paradise. Therefore everyone should join this Krishna consciousness movement as soon as possible after thoughtful deliberation.

Krishna is God.............(From the ultimate self realization course)
As a young child I was taught by my parents to believe in God. We regularly went to church every Sunday without fail. But because my understanding of God was very vague and unclear I was not able to tangibly connect with God in such a way that I could become uplifted from the realm of material miseries. But when I discovered God's personal identity as Krishna my life was radically and wonderfully transformed. It is common sense. If I am going to fully devote myself to someone I need to know who he is. If God is a person, He must certainly have a name.

The Rise of Spirituality and Decline of Sectarian Religion....(From The Ultimate Self Realization course)
Due to an increasing disgust with the dogmas and abuses of sectarian religion, there is now a strong rising interest in spirituality, a non-sectarian approach to spiritual awakening. People are seeking spiritual enlightenment outside of the constraints of sectarian religious organizations. They want to get the pure essence of religion, to have their own personal experience of God. They see that sectarian religion has fomented ignorance, disunity, hate, and cruelty, and they want out. They are now turning away from sectarianism in ever-increasing numbers seeking spiritual enlightenment in a universal, non-sectarian concept of spiritual unity far removed from the sentimentalism and fanaticism of sectarian religion.
The Bhagavad-gita is the perfect book for them. It very wisely teaches the perfection of spirituality by advising the spiritual seeker to eschew all sectarian conceptions of religion and come to perfectional platform of perfect harmony with the Supreme Being through complete surrender unto His will. The beauty of the Gita's teachings is that can one apply them from any walk of life. Whether one is a Christian, a Muslim, a Sikh, a Hindu, a Jew, or a non-designated spiritual seeker, he can remain in his present position and become spiritually perfect by adopting the teachings of the Bhagavad-gita as the guiding principles in his life.
