Japa Group: Both The Means And The End The only method or means (sadhana) in this age is the holy name of the Lord. The only goal (sadhya) to be attained in this age is Krsnaprema. Even in the stage of perfection, the name is not given up but is chanted all the more, for it is intrinsic to the activities of prema. Indeed, the name is not different from the Lord: it is the very embodiment of prema. If the means is the end, then the end and the means never contradict one another. If process is identical to the objective, then it is easy for the jivas to attain the desired goal of life, Krsnaprema. By the mercy of His holy name, Krsna easily delivers the jivas in the age of Kali. I hope you have a blessed week, full of realisations on chanting. your servant, Aruna devi • Email to a friend • • ISKCON Toronto, Canada: Kartik-Themed Activities for the Next Month!As some may already know, the month of Kartik began today.

Below is the new text. *** The morning that I was born I was given the name Bhakti lata bij which, in the ancient Sanskrit language, translates as "the seed of the vine of devotion." This bhakti lata bij is very special and rarely given. It is described in ancient scriptures that the living entity has been wandering the universe for millions of years, so very, very lost, so heartsick in his search for love. But somehow, by the grace of the Lord and a loving spiritual master, the living entity receives within his heart the bhakti lata bij, the seed of devotion. This seed of devotion must be tended to with great care. One must water the seed by serving the Lord and His devotees. One must receive proper sunlight through the chanting of the holy name. One must dig out all of the unwanted weeds within the heart - pride, lust, envy, and so many others. I find it very curious and very profound that the plant in this metaphor of devotion is not a stately banyan tree or a divine lotus. It is a vine. And what is the most important feature of a vine? It must always rest upon something else to grow. In this metaphor, that "something else" is the Vaishnavas, the devotees of the Lord. Then with proper cultivation, love, and grace, resting upon the strength of the devotees, this vine of devotion may wind up and up and up to at last reach the feet of the Lord Himself. *** brahmanda brahmite kona bhagyavan jiva guru krsna prasade pay bhakti lata bija "According to their karma, all living entities are wandering throughout the entire universe. Out of many millions of wandering living entities, one who is fortunate gets an opportunity to associate with a bona fide spiritual master by the grace of Krishna. By the mercy of both Krishna and the spiritual master, such a person receives the seed of the creeper of devotional service." (Chaitanya Charitamrita, Madhya 19.51) • Email to a friend • • Haricharana das, Indonesia: "To the Supreme Lord, whose form is the embodiment of eternal existence, knowledge, and bliss, whose...""To the Supreme Lord, whose form is the embodiment of eternal existence, knowledge, and bliss, whose shark-shaped earrings are swinging to and fro, who is beautifully shining in the divine realm of Gokula, who I (due to the offense of breaking the pot of yogurt that His mother was churning into butter and then stealing the butter that was kept hanging from a swing) is quickly running from the wooden grinding mortar in fear of mother Yasoda, but who has been caught from behind by her who ran after Him with greater speed—to that Supreme Lord, Sri Damodara, I offer my humble obeisances." Damodarastakam "In the month of Kartika one should worship Lord Damodara and daily recite the prayer known as Damodarastaka, which has been spoken by the sage Satyavrata and which attracts Lord Damodara. (Sri Hari-bhakti-vilasa 2.16.198)." • Email to a friend • • Haricharana das, Indonesia: Thinking of Kṛṣṇa 24 hours
From lecture by H.H. Bhakti Madhurya Govinda Swami:
man-manā bhava mad-bhakto Bhagavad-gita As It Is 18.65Always think of Me, become My devotee, worship Me and offer your homage unto Me. Thus you will come to Me without fail. I promise you this because you are My very dear friend. Srila Prabhupada stressed » One should always act in such a way that all his daily activities are in connection with Kṛṣṇa. He should arrange his life in such a way that throughout the twenty-four hours he cannot but think of Kṛṣṇa. One should fix his mind on this original form of Godhead, Kṛṣṇa. One should not even divert his attention to other forms of the Lord. The Lord has multiforms as Viṣṇu, Nārāyaṇa, Rāma, Varāha, etc. To connect to Kṛṣṇa there's many ways but Sabda Brahman or transcendental sound is very important. Before in India the entertainment is to gathering to chant and hear Sabda Brahman like Bhagavad-gita story of Ramayana etc. so they peaceful. Now it almost lost, people are Into TV which agitated the mind. Naturally our sensed could not be satisfied by senses gratification. As example Michael Jackson who is very famous singer has many money and fame but crying for sleeping. Although lots of money but cry for sleeping. What's the point? Kṛṣṇa said if you want to be happy fix your mind to Me. Srila prabhupada said arrange your life in such a way so you can think Kṛṣṇa 24 hour. For most devotees who work or in school or in collage may be its difficult, than Maharaj give suggestions: 1. Sabda Brhman: to reading Srila Prabhupada books for the worker may be not possible all the time. So we can make arrangement to play mp3 or cd in a player. Like while drive motor bike, to use ear plug maybe to dangerous. Maharaj suggest to install speaker on the bike so we can hear the kirtan while drive. For the car, just turn on the player with the Kirtan cd on it. At the house also play it. Especially we should arrange after we wake up at the morning we should immediately play kirtan record. So it can help us from our tamasik mind after wake up. After sleeping is easy to trap at tamasik. 2. Put many picture of Kṛṣṇa as many as possible either at your work or your house. We don't have power to think Kṛṣṇa by our mind alone; we should make arrangement so we can think Kṛṣṇa 24 hours. Make the environment sattvik. Man-manā bhava mad-bhakto makes your environment like that so we can thing Kṛṣṇa 24 hour. If we do it like that we will fulfill Srila Prabhupada other as it stated in the purport of this sloka.

It basically states that an individual can consume 2100 calories of food with Rs 32 and 26 respectively (not sure how that is possible?). The poverty line calculation does not take into account education, health and other basic needs expenditures. It just accounts for money required for basic food consumption. The methodology has no relation to reality and hence very weak. • Email to a friend • • Akrura das, Gita Coaching: Lord Chaitanya's Moon is Rising• Email to a friend • • Japa Group: By Such Chanting One Is Blessed I was reading a nice purport today that talks about this.

By such chanting one is blessed with the competency to chant the Hare Krsna mahā-mantra without offense. When chanting the Hare Krsna mahā-mantra, one should also chant it fully: Hare Krsna, Hare Krsna, Krsna Krsna, Hare Hare/ Hare Rāma, Hare Rāma, Rāma Rāma, Hare Hare. • Email to a friend • • Gouranga TV: Iskcon Mayapur Aarti Kirtan – Gaura AartiIskcon Mayapur Aarti Kirtan – Gaura Aarti • Email to a friend • • H.G.

Uploaded from Kaunas, Lithuania What is the purpose of life? It is sometimes said that the purpose of life is to ask such questions as this. The desire to discover life's purpose indicates that life does indeed have a purpose. Otherwise how could there be a desire to discover it? In other words, desires don't come out of nowhere. They are matched with that which satisfies them. So just as the hunger of the belly indicates the existence of food, the hunger to know the purpose of life indicates that life does indeed have a purpose. Our duty is to inquire about it's purpose. If we are determined to find the answer, we will be blessed with it. We will realize that we are meant to re-harmonize ourselves with the original source of our existence. Sankarshan Das Adhikari Revealing the Ultimate Purpose of Life Sunday Feast Lecture--9 October--Riga, Latvia http://www.backtohome.com/images/2011-Fall/Riga_SFL2.JPG http://www.backtohome.com/images/2011-Fall/Riga_SFL1.JPG Answers by Citing the Vedic Version: Question: How to Overcome Negative Thoughts? Dear Gurudeva, Please accept my respectful obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada. While advancing in Krishna consciousness many negative thoughts keep on coming into my mind. So how can I overcome these negative thoughts? Your servant, Kowsthub Answer: Fill Your Mind with Krishna If you will fill your mind with positive thoughts such as the wonderful qualities, pastimes, teachings, names, and forms of Krishna, there will be no room left for the dirty, negative thoughts. Then when the negative thoughts come to check into the hotel of your mind there will be a big No Vacancy sign awaiting them, and they will have to go somewhere else to find a place of residence.
