An embodiment of transcendental humility, he picked us up from the darkness of “ jeeva maya ” and in the mood of a loving mother keeps nurturing us to our final des tination of Sri Krishna Seva Prapti. A Mahaprabhu Charan Pahari Series Page 4 of 226 Vaishnav Chetan Parasmani P REFACE This work is a collection summa ry of spiritual realizations and conversations with a God - realized spiritual master . The contents of this work form the basis of spiritual tenets on the path of Bhakti and represent experiential principles of the Gaudiya Vaishnava thought. This work does n ot boast of positioning itself as an authoritative treatise on Gaudiya Vaishnavism or any other school of spiritual rigor. Any inadvertent representation of any spiritual/religious school should be considered to be purely unintentional. The purpose of thi s work is to drive home the need for the general populace to immediately take up to Sri Gaudiya Vaishnavism considering the fact that this is the need of Kaliyuga as expounded by the Kaliyuga Avatara Sriman Gauranga Mahaprabhu who briefly visited our plane t about 53 0 years ago. A Mahaprabhu Charan Pahari Series Page 5 of 226 Vaishnav Chetan Parasmani B HAKTI T ODAY The aspect of Krishna Bhajana that deals with the living entity’s ultimate goal or Prayojana has three touch points. These are the Sadhu, Sadhguru and Shastra. Any other means that is used to relate the living entity an d Krishna Bhajana may appear to be useful in the larger context yet may not be relevant. Depending on the hidden desires and motives of human beings (living entities who take up to Bhakti ); various arrangements are done by the Supreme Lord usually arranged by an aspect of His sandhini potency or Yogmaya. Yogmaya has setup various institutions and setups that dish out various flavours of how to perform Krishna Bhajana and the means to reach Him so that “One goes back home, back to Godhead”. The offer is quit e attractive but not entirely useful in achieving the objective. Depending on the sincerity and the spiritual greed of living entities; Yogmaya takes the living entity to the widely spread out Spiritual Bazaar so to say. Thanks to the sprawl brands of spir itual institutions that have done remarkable work in getting the basics of Krishna Bhajana in place but they nevertheless fall short of guiding a sincere aspirant to the final goal. Leave alone attaining the final goal; there is a lack of understanding ove rall at such spiritual fares as to what is the final goal of Krishna Bhajana. In such a scenario the living entities who started off on the right path; slowly lose the objective in the long run. The spiritual organizations that eulogize Krishna claim to sh ow you the path to Godhead; having their own well designed internal objectives. In the name of Service to Krishna; a lot of associations are formed that revolve around nurturing devotees and giving them an experience of sorts. The plan is to encourage part icipation from devoted followers A Mahaprabhu Charan Pahari Series Page 6 of 226 Vaishnav Chetan Parasmani who have a host of “Gurus” who guide them along the path of Krishna Bhajana and in return, get the means to cultivate and maintain lavish temples. Temples are sponsored by the cream of influential and rich patrons who swear by their Gurus and talk of surrender! Well everything is rosy and picture perfect. People are very much certain that they are going back home, back to Godhead. The folks that participate in such spiritual groups are looking out for some ego - massaging, som e recognition and a lot of attention from guardians of such plush spiritual setups who appear to be freely distributing “Krishna”. This is very unfortunate because we are deviating from the basic principle of Krishna Bhajana. The place for Krishna’s reside nce is not in temples but in the white butter like hearts of seekers who sacrifice their attachment to this ephemeral world and are single - pointed towards the Prayojana of attaining Love of Godhead; in the truest spirit and not merely through psychological rhetoric. When 100 people claim that they are on the way back home back to Godhead; there is a group of another 10,000 who deliriously follow this set of 100 without first enquiring scientifically of how this is possible. The term “faith” is being used ve ry liberally today and people just follow wearing blinkers and just rush towards an unknown destination. Yes, the intention of people is genuine; however one should always use intelligence and refer time and again to whether one is shooting in the right di rection. The movement of Sriman Chaitanya Mahaprabhu is the most genuine of all recent movements; of this there is no doubt. This is also an established fact. However there are myriads of such movements who show history and claim to be authentic. This is K aliyuga and the Lord is very benevolent. He does guide a sincere aspirant in the form of the Chaitya Guru. It also becomes the duty of intelligent folk to develop a submissive questioning mind ; the answers to which will guide the A Mahaprabhu Charan Pahari Series Page 7 of 226 Vaishnav Chetan Parasmani sincere aspirant. We shou ld be extremely attached to the cause of Krishna Bhajana and seek guidance. Bhakti is the essence of our eternal relationship with the Lord. As living entities we have been separated parts and parcels of the Lord. Bhakti is that process which revives the lost link with the Lord. The world is populated with myriads of such living entities that have been traversing the eight point four million species circle incalculable times with a hope to ending the journey and attaining eternal bliss. The human species i s the most fortunate amongst these species, since it has an opportunity to hit upon a permanent solution in the form of Bhakti. Bhakti has been distributed on the planet from India and the Guru Parampara system is extremely potent to deliver Bhakti even du ring these gory days of Kaliyuga. The Supreme Lord has made adequate arrangements so that the human race does not wilt away, being parched by the onslaught of unfavourable times. By the will of the Lord great missions have picked up especially after the de parture of the last known incarnations of the Supreme Lord, Sriman Chaitanya Mahaprabhu. The Gaudiya Vaishnava Movement is a massive revolution in Vaishnavism that is transforming the entire world and has assumed the form of a vehicle that carries sincere aspirants back to the spiritual realm and thus ending their thankless cycles of repeated births. Many great institutions have had a great contribution in the entire process and Institutions of great name and reckoning stand testimony to the Gaudiya Vaishna va revolution that is estimated to continue on this planet for the next ten thousand years as prophesised by the scriptures themselves. Having said that; Institutions, Organized Preaching, Congregational movements and other social formats have a great say in the wide - A Mahaprabhu Charan Pahari Series Page 8 of 226 Vaishnav Chetan Parasmani spread of the movement, when one considers a living entity’s individual journey into the system of Sriman Mahaprabhu, the equation of success has to be considered in a totally different light. Sriman Mahaprabhu’s great movement is based on perf ect Vedic principles, the roots of which remain unchanged since the very creation of time and space which is as old as Creator Himself! The philosophy relies on this base that what gets one back to the spiritual world simply depends on 3 base entities tha t is the living entity, the Guru and the Lord Himself. What really gets anybody back to the spiritual realm is the transaction of factors like sincerity , Chanting of the Holy Name , Spiritual Service to please Guru and Lord and one’s utmost commitment to Bhakti process in preference to any other aspect of mundane existence. Other than this there are no other criteria that can get one across the tidal wave of material existence. Commitment to temple rules, social c are, preaching, spreading social Awareness on Bhakti, Congregational Activities and other Institution based chores may initially appear to support and encourage the Bhakti tendency in an individual but can never ever be sufficient to proffer Bhakti towards ultimate fulfillment. Moreover when it com es to the original precepts of Sriman Mahaprabhu, Sriman Mahaprabhu only focussed on the Mahapurana Srimad Bhagavatham and that too on the pure principles of unalloyed devotion enjoined therein. However it is common that Vedic strictures still form the maj or structure of the organizations which base elaborate social functions on a grand scale that attract devotees.

  • Reflections on Bhakti-Tattva
    Reflections on bhakti-tattva compiled by Tarun Govinda das TABLE OF CONTENTS 1. The situation (sambandha-tattva) 2. The “way out” - bhakti yoga (abhidheya- tattva) 3. The concept of a line of teachers (diksha-parampara) 4. The gift of Sriman Mahaprabhu - bhakti in the wake of the inhabitants of Vrindavana (raganuga-bhakti) 5. The glorious nature of bhakti 6. The final destination (prayojana-tattva) Reflections on bhakti-tattva 1. Our situation (sambandha-tattva) Everyone is looking for love. Everyone is looking for peace. Everyone is looking for happiness. But we only get glimpses of these basic human necessities. Why? Because this world is not our real home. We are actually spiritual beings, living in a material world. We are like a fish thrown out of the water. Since thousands of years, mankind always asked one very important question. “Who am I?” Am I this body? Am I German? Am I American? Am I a man? Am I a professor? Am I rich?All these answers can be changed any moment. All these answers are based on a temporary nature. When we come to the point of asking that there must be more to this, then actually spiritual life begins. Who am I? What is my duty? Where do I come from? Where will I go? The Vedic literature deals exactly with all these questions. In fact they state that if we do NOT ask these questions, our human life is wasted. So, who am I? I am NOT this body. I am NOT my thoughts. I am NOT my profession.

  • Amitabha Sadhana from a Pure Authentic Teacher with an Unbroken Lineage
    Amitabha Short Sadhana Amitabha Buddha practice is a well known practice in Buddhist Mahayana and Vajrayana lineages. Lord Buddha commented extensively in the Amitabha Buddha Sutra about Amitabha Buddha and His Pure Land and explained in detail on how that Pure Land was arrayed, as well as the essence of the inner qualities of the Pure Land. In general, there are countless Pure Lands, most of these Pure Lands are not easy to attain rebirth in; most require high qualities of realization such as the practitioner has to have externally pure Vinaya vow, internally pure Bodhisattva vow, and most internally pure Vajrayana vows, and so one have such high qualifications to be reborn in such a Pure Land. And in some Pure Lands, one will have to be truly realized, some have to have great accomplished practice of Vajrayana, such as the creation and completion stages. Some require attainment of the stage of Mahamudra or the stage of Mahasandhi. So it is possible that in this dark age of ours, some individual may still have the possibility to attain those stages, but most likely many ordinary people like us, due to not enough diligence purification wisdom or merit, not enough of the view of emptiness and meditation, so we are stuck in samsara. But Lord Buddha Amitabha, before His enlightenment, while He is still engaging in Bodhisattva activites and conduct, had pure and sincere motivation when He vowed that when He attained the state of Buddhahood, whoever would hear His name, see His picture, or remember Him, all will be able to go to His Pure Land after death, and continually obtain enlightenment.

  • Sadhana of Mahamudra: Which Quells the Mighty Warring of the Three Lords of Materialism and Brings Realization of the Ocean of Siddhas of the Practice Lineage
    chin lab edition 2012 ©“The Dharma is nobody’s property. It belongs to whoever is most interested.”Patrul Rinpoche, Words of My Perfect Teacher The Sadhana Of Mahamudra: Which Quells The Mighty Warring Of The Three Lords Of Materialism And Brings Realization Of The Ocean Of Siddhas Of The Practice Lineage This is the darkest hour of the dark ages. Disease, famine and warfare are raging like the fierce north wind. The Buddha's teaching has waned in strength. The various schools of the sangha are fighting amongst themselves with sectarian bitterness; and although the Buddha's teaching was perfectly expounded and there have been many reliable teachings since then from other great gurus, yet they pursue intellectual speculations. The sacred mantra has strayed into Pon, and the yogis of tantra are losing the insight of meditation. They spend their whole time going through villages and performing little ceremonies for material gain. On the whole, no one acts according to the highest code of discipline, meditation and wisdom. The jewel-like teaching of insight is fading day by day. The Buddha's teaching is used merely for political purposes and to draw people together socially. As a result, the blessings of spiritual energy are being lost. Even those with great devotion are beginning to lose heart. If the buddhas of the three times and the great teachers were to comment, they would surely express their disappointment. So to enable individuals to ask for their help and to renew spiritual strength, I have written this sadhana of the embodiment of all the siddhas.

  • De Mello, a J Esmt Priest, Is Known Throughout the World As One of the Foremost Spiritual Guides
    Spirituality u.s. $6.95 Canada $8.95 A masterpiece in the art oflearning how to pray and meditate Tr uly a one-of-a-kind, how-to-do-it book, this small volume responds to a very real hunger for self-awareness and holistic living. It consists of a series of spiritual exercises for entering the contemplative state-blending psychology, spiritual therapy, and practices of both Eastern and Western traditions. Anthony de Mello, a J esmt priest, is known throughout the world as one of the foremost spiritual guides. His is an unparalleled approach to inner peace that brings the whole person to prayer-body and soul, heart and mind, memory and imagina­ tion. In forty-seven exercises that teach such things as awareness of body sensations, stillness, healing of hurtful memories, and con­ sciousness of self and world, de Mello succeeds in helping all of us who have ever experienced prayer as difficult, dull, or frustrating. The essential key, he notes, is to journey beyond mere thought­ forms and discover satisfying new depths in prayer from the heart. This allows greater sense awareness amid silence and disposes the pray-er to untold riches, spiritual fulfillment, and ultimately, a mystical experience of God-centeredness. Drawing on Scripture, as well as insights from Eastern and Western spiritual masters, the author has a unique appeal that transcends time, culture, or religious persuasion. SADHANA is already a bestseller in the English language ·and has been translated as well into some twodozen foreign languages. The Image Books edition will be eagerly received by a variety of readers and will introduce to a diverse audience a genuine spiritual leader who speaks to believers and nonbelievers alike.

    Srila Prabhupada giving his great science of self realization to the whole world Venue: Vrindavan Dated: 2/8/12 Kolkata dhama ki…jai So today is not just another day very historic day –reserved for Srila Prabhupada’s departure for USA America I don’t know what time of the he boarded that Jalduta 1965 I was small, you all remember what you were doing in 1965? (Maharaj ji asking the audience) no…Krishna remembers but you have forgotten, you were another body probably, 1965 how many were on the planet? ( A devotee say he got married in 1965) you were married in 1965 – so historic occasion (laughter) and happily married since then also accomplishment. So it was way back in 1972 infact in Kolkatta Prabhupada was given his instruction “Oh! you seem to be very intelligent” Srila Prabhupada had walked into that quarter were Srila Bhakti Siddhanta Saraswati Thakur was delivering a talk to assembled disciples and devotees and Srila Prabhupada walked with his friend and offered his obesciances and Srila Prabhupada he was still trying to take his seat and then Srila Bhakti Siddhanta Saraswati Thakur point out – you.you…….seem to be very intelligent and you should spread this, bring this Bhagvat dharma , the idea was you should bring this message to the western world and preach in English language. So it took long time before “life time preparation” before you execute anything they say you prepare 80% of time for preparation 20% time for execution then you will get the success not other way round, little preparation or no preparation and you jump in action.

    BHAGAVAD GITA Il Dharma globale per il terzo millennio Appendice 2 Glossario Traduzioni e commenti compilati da Parama Karuna Devi Copyright © 2017 Parama Karuna Devi Tutti i diritti riservati ISBN-13: 978-1545499061 ISBN-10: 1545499063 pubblicato da: Jagannatha Vallabha Vedic Research Center telefono: +91 (India) 94373 00906 E-mail: [email protected] Website: www.jagannathavallabha.com Bhagavad gita Glossario Prefazione Nel primo volume di Appendice abbiamo presentato la Gita mahatmya (scritta da Adi Shankara), un riassunto completo del Mahabharata, e la storia di Krishna tratta dal Bhagavata Purana. In questo secondo volume di Appendice presentiamo il Glossario, la lista delle scritture citate nei nostri commentari, e la lista dei personaggi citati nel testo originale della Bhagavad gita. In un terzo volume di Appendice presenteremo una semplice Guida allo studio della Bhagavad gita, utile per i principianti e anche come base di sadhana quotidiana. Il Glossario non include i nomi di persone o località (che non siano anche concetti filosofici), o i nomi di libri o testi sacri citati nei commentari (che si trovano invece nella Bibliografia). Comprende però una serie di termini utili non soltanto per lo studio della Bhagavad gita ma per la comprensione di altri testi dello yoga e della cultura vedica in generale; oltre ai termini sanscriti abbiamo inserito anche alcuni termini in italiano che necessitano di una particolare spiegazione perché potrebbero essere equivocati. I termini non scritti in corsivo (ma scritti con la prima lettera maiuscola) sono contenuti nel Glossario. 3 Parama Karuna Devi 4 Bhagavad gita Glossario Glossario Abhyasa Letteralmente "pratica", indica l'impegno regolare e costante nelle pratiche Yoga.
