Join this Conference: http://groups.google.com/group/sda_students Today's Thought: Solution to All of the World's Problems Uploaded from Bhaktivedanta Ashram, Austin, Texas USA We have the solution to all of the world's problems. Therefore we have the most awesome responsibility to educate the entire world population in the science of Krishna consciousness. Somehow or other we must awaken them to knowing who they actually are as pure spirit-souls and being who they actually are as Krishna's eternal servants. We have only two duties: to become fully awakened ourselves in Krishna consciousness and to awaken all others to to most sublime, happy state of pure Krishna consciousness. To successfully carry out these two duties we can accept any means. We have no interest in wasting our time in other so called duties. Sankarshan Das Adhikari Answers by Citing the Vedic Version: Question: Is Lord Buddha Krishna's Incarnation? Dear Gurudeva, Is Lord Buddha an incarnation of Lord Krishna? I read that Lord Buddha is an incarnation of Lord Krishna. But this is difficult to believe because Buddhists do not believe in deity worship. They think the universe has come out from nothing. Pradnya Answer: Yes Yes, according to the Srimad Bhagavatam, Lord Buddha is an incarnation of Krishna. Even though he is God Himself he taught atheism and denied the authority of the Vedas because at that time the Indian population was twisting the Vedic injunctions to justify wide scale cow slaughter. To stop them from their heinous sinful activities he denied the Vedas and taught the principles of karma and non-violence. Thus as part of a divine plan he paved the way for future teachers who would bring back the Vedic culture in its original pure form. Srila Prabhupada has written as follows regarding Lord Buddha in his purport to Srimad Bhagavatam, 1st Canto, Chapter 3, Text 24: He deluded the atheists because such atheists who followed his principles did not believe in God, but they kept their absolute faith in Lord Buddha, who himself was the incarnation of God. Thus the faithless people were made to believe in God in the form of Lord Buddha. That was the mercy of Lord Buddha: he made the faithless faithful to him.

I hope you are having a nice week of chanting. I would like to share with you a very beautiful prayer from Srila Bhaktivinoda Thakur in his song Kabe Habe Bolo, here follows 2 verses. 2) When will I taste the essence of the Holy Name, feeling myself to be lower than the grass, my heart filled with tolerance? When will I give respect to all others and be free from desire for respect from them? 7) When will I buy, borrow or steal the ecstasies of the Holy Name? When will I lose myself in the intoxication of the Holy Name? When will I immerse myself in the nectar of the Holy Name after grasping the feet of a saint who constantly relishes the flavours [rasa] of devotion? This mood of devotion is always essential to our good japa and for concentration - maybe you can recite one of these prayers before your chanting, it should help you come to the mood of service. Hoping this week is full of realisations on japa. your servant, Aruna devi   • Email to a friend • • Bharatavarsa.net: Bhakti Vikasa Swami: always feel yourself very much blessed by Krishna You are feeling some discomfort in your life in Krishna Consciousness, but I can assure you that this is only temporary condition of little importance, because main thing is that somehow or other you have got a little attraction for Krishna and you have become His devotee and this is the highest platform of development of life. So you should always feel yourself very much blessed by Krishna that you have come to this point after so much long struggling, so if there is from time to time little discomfort, do not pay it any attention. Now you have got the formula how to achieve very quickly the supreme perfectional stage, and it is up to you if you will practice it seriously or not. If you chant daily 16 rounds and read at least one hour daily Srimad-Bhagavatam, plus your other prescribed duties, never mind this or that, you will feel yourself becoming happy more and more and these practices will protect you from maya or hazy consciousness without any doubt. Of course, it is very much favorable to our advancement in spiritual life if we are engaged in some service for Krishna which is also pleasing to us to perform. >>> Ref.

Prabhupad had his fill and handed over the remnants to Srutakirti who'd just began eating when the lady air hostess comes over and in one motion says that looks tasty and grabs a handful throws it in her mouth. Prabhupad smiled, Srutakirti was somewhat shocked. She then asked why bring your own food. Srutakirti informed her that they are vegetarians etc etc. She immediately said is there anything else I can get you, fruit milk? Prabhupad said "Hot milk". Five minutes later she returned with three cups of hot milk she got from First class. Prabhupad thanked her and the devotees discussed among themselves Prabhupad remarking that it is a natural nature of a pious woman to serve....... Anyway over the years this had become one of Srutakirti's favourite Prabhupad pastime stories to tell. Anyway now part two, he was recently again in South America doing a preaching tour enlivening devotees there (and selling his book "What is the difficulty?") and he told that story in Brazil. Afterward one devotee came up to him and asked would Srutakirti prabhu like to hear an amazing story? This devotee was out in some remote village going door to door selling books when he knocked on a door a lady opened the door wearing tilak. She then invited the devotee in and her house was like a little temple,an altar with Deities, pictures on the walls and all of Prabhupad's books in Portuguese in her bookshelf. The devotee just had to ask her how she became a devotee....... She said she used to be an airline hostess some years ago and she met the author of these books, he was so saintly and gentle and kind that she looked up who he was and what he did from his boarding pass name. She then got some of his books and began to read, they said to chant so she chanted and offer her food to Krishna, so she did all that and became a devotee from that small contact.... Srutakirti was amazed, while at the same time understood the potency of Prasadam and even a moments association with a pure devotee like Srila Prabhupad.

I was reading this sloka from Srimad Bhagavatam and really surprised me. It says if we indulge in excessive sense gratification, being fed up we will turn to spiritual life. I find it difficult to accept because Maya is so strong that she will keep us within her shackles. However, this sloka is spoken by the saintly Narada rishi…so this is something we have to take into consideration. Below is the translation and purport. Translation My dear King, if an agricultural field is cultivated again and again, the power of its production decreases, and whatever seeds are sown there are lost. Just as drops of ghee on a fire never extinguish the fire but a flood of ghee will, similarly, overindulgence in lusty desires mitigates such desires entirely. Purport If one continuously sprinkles drops of ghee on a fire, the fire will not be extinguished, but if one suddenly puts a lump of ghee on a fire, the fire may possibly be extinguished entirely. Similarly, those who are too sinful and have thus been born in the lower classes are allowed to enjoy sinful activities fully, for thus there is a chance that these activities will become detestful to them, and they will get the opportunity to be purified. - SB 7.11.33-34 Hare Krishna   • Email to a friend • • Hari Sauri das, Mayapura, IN: 2011 Eurotour–Lika summer camp part 2 Here’s few more pics. from the Lika summer camp. Every day there were four seminars given by HH Prahladananda Swami, HH Bhakti Vikash Swami, HG Manidhara prabhu and myself. with an efficient system of simultaneous translation to maximize the hearing time from the English language speakers I was asked to speak first every morning immediately after the Deity greeting and Srila Prabhupada’s gurupuja so that everyone could start the day with 75 minutes meditating on His Divine Grace. I spoke on the topic of book writing, which was very well received, especially by Bhakti Vikash Maharaja who is quite a prolific writer himself, with about twenty books under his belt including the seminal three-part biography of Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Thakura entitled “Bhaktisiddhanta Vaibhava”. He worked on that for over 20 years and it was worth the wait. A highlight of the festival was an evening program for the local people. Murari Gupta and Sundari mataji are the local doctors so 50+ people who would never have dreamed of venturing into a Hare Krishna gathering turned up and had a great time. Sundari mataji was the evening’s host to a program of bhajans and a drama, and prasadam. All in all it was a great festival, not too big but enthusiastic with everyone chipping in to do their bit to make it a success almost anyway and at least one young man confirmed that he will be back for more next year (maybe,depends on the prasadam!) We had a group photo just for the record and then we said goodbye   • Email to a friend • • Madhava Ghosh dasa, New Vrndavan, USA: Dead Horse Strategies The tribal wisdom of the Lakota Indians, passed on from generation to generation, says that, “When you discover that you are riding a dead horse, the best strategy is to dismount.” However, in government, education, and in corporate America, more advanced strategies are often employed, such as: 1. Buying a stronger whip. 2. Changing riders. 3. Appointing a committee to study the horse. 4. Arranging to visit other countries to see how other cultures ride dead horses. 5. Lowering the standards so that dead horses can be included. 6. Reclassifying the dead horse as living-impaired. 7. Hiring outside contractors to ride the dead horse. 8. Harnessing several dead horses together to increase speed. 9. Providing additional funding and/or training to increase dead horse’s performance. 10. Doing a productivity study to see if lighter riders would improve the dead horse’s performance. 11. Declaring that as the dead horse does not have to be fed, it is less costly, carries lower overhead and therefore contributes substantially more to the bottom line of the economy than do some other horses. 12. Rewriting the expected performance requirements for all horses. And of course… 13. Promoting the dead horse to a supervisory position.

Jiva Goswami   • Email to a friend • • Vraja Kishor, JP: Reincarnation Reincarnation Reincarnation Here is the deal… This whole world is upside down – just like a tree standing on a lake shore is upside down when reflected into the lake. The material world is an upside down tree [Gita 15.1]. The reflection is kept alive by the water it reflects upon. What is that water? Selfishness [2]. The real tree is where we belong. We need to get rid of the reflection and get into the real tree. [3-4] Yeah, fine. Easier said than done. How am I supposed to do that??? You already know the upside down tree of this world exists as a reflection upon the waters of selfishness, so get rid of selfishness and you get rid of the fake tree. You get rid of selfishness by not trying to control anything for your own interests [5]. Stop trying to control people and things to serve your own interests, and the fake tree will disappear. When the fake tree disappears, what then? Then you will be drawn like a bird into the branches of the real tree of existence. It is a beautiful place, self-luminating, free from doubt and full of joy. Once you sit in that real tree, you will never leave it [6] – it is that wonderful. OK, that's inspiring, but I can't just drop all my selfish habits and actions on a dime. What happens to me meanwhile, when I stay within the false, reflected, upside-down tree? You will struggle. You will work and struggle. You will toil and labor and work and struggle. Why? Because you are not a reflection! You are a real being. You do not fit in with reflections. You are part and parcel of the real tree – and the ultimate form of that real tree is the Supreme Person, Śrī Kṛṣṇa. As long as you are out of touch with your real root, you will struggle and wither, like a leaf disconnected from the branch and root. You will struggle to enjoy a reflection. You will struggle with your senses [7]. All the desires to enjoy the reflection are harbored by you in a thing you call "the mind" or "the heart." This mind carries you around like the wind carries aromas [8]. It carries you into one body. You struggle with the senses of that body. You cannot fulfill your dreams. So it carries you to another body. Again you struggle. Again this repeats. And repeats [9]. Thus we come to today's verse, the 10th verse of the 15th chapter of Gita. उत्क्रामन्तम्́ स्थितम्́ वापि भुञ्जानम्́ वा गुन्̣आन्वितम् विमूद्̣हा नानुपश्यन्ति पश्यन्ति ज्ञान-चक्स्̣उस्̣अह्̣ utkrāmantaḿ sthitaḿ vāpi bhuñjānaḿ vā guṇānvitam vimūḍhā nānupaśyanti paśyanti jñāna-cakṣuṣaḥ The synonyms for these Sanskrit words: utkrāmantam — quitting the body; sthitam — situated in the body; vā api — either; bhuñjānam — enjoying; vā — or; guṇa-anvitam — under the spell of the modes of material nature; vimūḍhāḥ — foolish persons; na — never; anupaśyanti — can see; paśyanti — can see; jñāna-cakṣuṣaḥ — those who have the eyes of knowledge. A translation (from Bhagavad Gita As It is by A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swāmī  Prabhupāda) The foolish cannot understand how a living entity can quit his body, nor can they understand what sort of body he enjoys under the spell of the modes of nature. But one whose eyes are trained in knowledge can see all this. Prabhupāda's Comment on this verse: The word jñāna-cakṣuṣaḥ is very significant. Without knowledge, one cannot understand how a living entity leaves his present body, nor what form of body he is going to take in the next life, nor even why he is living in a particular type of body. This requires a great amount of knowledge understood from Bhagavad-gītā and similar literatures heard from a bona fide spiritual master. One who is trained to perceive all these things is fortunate. Every living entity is quitting his body under certain circumstances, he is living under certain circumstances, and he is enjoying under certain circumstances under the spell of material nature. As a result, he is suffering different kinds of happiness and distress, under the illusion of sense enjoyment. Persons who are everlastingly fooled by lust and desire lose all power to understand their change of body and their stay in a particular body. They cannot comprehend it. Those who have developed spiritual knowledge, however, can see that the spirit is different from the body and is changing its body and enjoying in different ways. A person in such knowledge can understand how the conditioned living entity is suffering in this material existence. Therefore those who are highly developed in Kṛṣṇa consciousness try their best to give this knowledge to the people in general, for their conditional life is very much troublesome. They should come out of it and be Kṛṣṇa conscious and liberate themselves to transfer to the spiritual world. And now, back to you, Vraj… This verse comes right after Kṛṣṇa explained that when we remain in the upside-down tree we get carried around it from body to body. It's commonly called "reincarnation." The question is, "Reincarnation??? If it's true that we are carried by our minds from body to body to struggle with enjoying various types of senses… how come people don't know about reincarnation? How come we can't see it happening?" Krishna's answer is this text. People can't see what is going on because they are entranced. When you are alive you are forgetful of your previous lives. When you die and go to a new body you will become completely forgetful of this life. Why? Why? Why? Because you want it that way. Or more precicely, you need it that way. If, my friend, you or I suddenly saw the full memory of each and every life we have ever had, what the hell would become of us? What would become of our plans to excel on our new Xbox game? What would become of our plans to build a secure fortune? What would become of anything and everything that we know and cherish? It would all shrink, reduce, and vanish to the size of a mote of dust in the enormous eye of infinity. And guess what, neither you nor I wants that. We are still holding on to our plans to excel at Xbox, or in college, or as a parent, or as a famous teacher, astrologer, or whatever has our attention this time around. We don't want to give up those plans, and that reluctance is exactly what blocks the memories of our past lives. Even in this lifetime many memories are blocked. For example someone experiencing a terrible trauma during childhood will block out that memory entirely so that he or she can continue to function as a reasonably normal person. Such persons don't want to remember these memories because the memories would impair their ability to function the way they want to function. The mind complies and locks away those memories. This is exactly what is happening with all your past life memories. To remember them would be a mind-shattering, explosive trauma. Therefore they are completely held in stasis – in the subconscious mind, out of the way. Blocking the painful memories is not a real solution. This is why such people need therapy. They need to gradually be guided to accept those memories and cope with them productively. The various paths of spirituality are therapies to allow us to embrace the memories of our past lives, which reveal the utter insignificance of our ego and egocentrism and thereby liberate us from the traumatic experience of living in an upside down world of reflecsions. That is why Kṛṣṇa adds, "not everyone is bereft of knowing their past lifes and seeing transmigration first hand as an empirical fact. Those who are "jñāna-cakṣuṣaḥ" can see it all firsthand." When our eyes are liberated by true knowledge, they will be willing to accept the trauma of remembering the infinite string of our petty, meaningless lifetimes. First, though, you have to let go… of everything.   • Email to a friend • • Gouranga TV: Madhava – Hare Krishna Kirtan at New Mayapur – Balarama Jayanti 2011 Madhava – Hare Krishna Kirtan at New Mayapur – Balarama Jayanti 2011   • Email to a friend • • More Recent Articles H.G.
