One Hundred Prabhupada Poems, #50

Prabhupada, I am in Wicklow, I went

on a walk, I am your disciple.

You know me, I heard they found a diary

you kept from January to July 1966;

it was a day-timer. They said I am mentioned

as giving a donation. Maybe it was

the $400, my savings

I was gonna use to go to some “green place”

I had in mind, Canadian island where I thought

I’d find peace and write for

maybe six months before coming back

to New York City.

Now by your grace I have

as much of green places

and writing as I desire.

But the goal of devotional service is different

nothing is done for karmic gain

or knowledge for its own sake

without practical purpose.

Practical means you love Krishna,

and He is pleased with you.

You do it by serving His servant.

Never Roam



Toronto, Ontario



The massive fallen over tree had a yellow slip lain partly upon its trunk. Nirguna, Patrick and I maneuvered under the massive chunk. I picked up the slip to note it was a parking ticket. Indeed the tree was parked. It was there to stay. The slip gave us a laugh.



And speaking of "slip", that is what I did. The path in that ravine was wet and became the perfect setting for losing one's balance. So I ended up being a chocolate looking mess. No problem there in the underpopulated ravine, until it was time to hit the residential areas and having to cross busy Yonge Street. Freshly moistened leaves became my wash cloth and the air became my towel. Any embarrassing smudges on my robes would be hidden by the strategic placement of the bodies with me. Patrick was to walk by my right side, and Nirguna to my rear. It's all an adventure which never ceases.




Upon returning back to the temple/ashram, I discovered that my keys were missing. They must have dropped on the path I now call "slippery" when I fell. So a search party went out including a couple, Nick and Moni, to hunt for the missing chain of keys. Rains came to make it "adventure plus". Still no keys. Time passed by so quickly, with darkness slowly setting in. We gave up the search and headed back to the temple for a party--a birthday party. Mine.



I guess that was one of the reasons for the walk in the first place, despite the light challenges that mud provides. I needed quiet before the attention would come in so forcefully. And that attention was on behalf of our guru, Srila Prabhupada.



I put closure to this long day by reading a poem of appreciation from Jaganath Puri Dham. His chorus line ended with "faith that will surely never roam." How interesting is that concept. We roam on muddy or dry land, but our faith should never roam.

AGM, Fire



Wakefield, Quebec



As owner Todd stoked the fire by the rustic mantel, I asked him which wood is the best.



“The most dense is oak, then maple. Beech is good, and birch- although it looks nice, gives less of a long lasting flame,” he said confidently.



I asked him that having known that the soft woods consume quickly. The warmth was emanating from the fire place on this damp night as fellow devotees watched with delight the magic of dancing flames. We were revving up by chilling out for our very own AGM for Canada.




In a figure of speaking, there would be no serious fires to put out at the meetings, which is a calming relief. We can reserve time for visionary and strategic work. I guess you could say that we were relishing the calm before the brainstorms of tomorrow by the fire. It will be the largest anticipated attendance (30 plus people) since our inception of national regional get-togethers.



Our location this year is a homey place in the countryside and as you enter the ponderosa-like property you see the signs RB and BB. Hmmm! BB stands for Bed and Breakfast, maybe. RB could be Rhythm and Blues. No, of course not! Consequently, we will chant each morning together for the coming three days and we will primarily discuss hoping to implement good action plans.



On further inspection, I realized I read the sign wrong. It was P and R, and R and R. This confirms the imperfect senses. How deficient we are. I presume that’s why our guru, Srila Prabhupada, wanted us to produce with collective intelligence. It’s a better check and balance.



I’m looking forward to the next day for the collaboration as we sip away the evening on tea (Subuddhi’s home brew), and as the dancing fire crackles away the fatigue hits from the five hour drive here. I did fit in some walking through a valley, cemetery and busy street before embarking on the drive to Wakefield. On the way up we spoke about the bed bug epidemic in North America. So the night ended with the mantra “Good night! Sleep tight! And hopefully there’s none of them that bite!”

Giridhari das, Brasilia, Brazil: Kirtan at Laya Yoga in Brasilia


Last weekend we were invited to perform kirtan at the Laya Yoga school in Brasilia, as part of their offer to help us raise funds for Pandavas Paradise. The event was the finale of their “Week of the Divine Mother”, in honor of Sri Lakshmidevi.

Many of our local ISKCON devotees joined in for the fun, playing, singing, dancing or just helping out by selling books and distributing flyers to the guests.

Three of us lead the kirtan.

First Sadhu Sanga Prabhu, the music teacher to many members of our congregation…

followed by me.

Then my wife, Carana Renu, beautifully singing Bajahu Re Mana, followed by the Hare Krishna mantra.

At the request of the owner, I spoke to the guests about our campaign to raise money to rebuild our burnt-down Shanti guest house. She suggested I use a bowl to get the donations! It was kind of funny… but it worked!

I also gave one of my books to their leader, who had flown in just for the closing ceremony, a lady from another important city in Brasil, Belo Horizonte. She’s the “acharya” of Laya Yoga in Brazil. The next day she wrote to me:

“I liked very much the content covered and the way in which the book was written. I found your writing very acessible and a pleasure to read, without distorting the teachings of Yoga. I wish you happinness and success in your work of spreading the teachings of Yoga.”

By the end of the almost three hours of kirtan, the devotees were deep in the bliss of the holy names, dancing, singing and laughing!

Bharatavarsa.net: Bhakti Vikasa Swami: How Maya Can Spoil Everything


...if we fall down in following the regulative principles such as rising before four, chanting 16 rounds, like that, if these things are not strictly observed then maya will enter and spoil everything.

Namamrta by A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada:

‘One must not sin with the intention of chanting Hare Krishna to neutralize the reactions:

“The chanting of the holy name is so auspicious that it can free everyone from the reactions of sinful activities. One should not conclude that one may continue to sin with the intention of chanting Hare Krishna to neutralize the reactions. Rather, one should be very careful to be free from all sins and never think of counteracting sinful activities by chanting the Hare Krishna mantra, for this is another offense. If by chance a devotee accidentally performs some sinful activity, the Lord will excuse him, but one should not intentionally perform sinful acts.” (Bhag. 6.3.31, purp.)

This is a perverted form of chanting. It is taking the chanting as a black kind of art. Chanting is to clear sins, but one should not commit sins and to think that one can get release from them by chanting. Namno balad yasya hi papa-buddhih: the Lord’s holy name certainly has the potency to neutralize all sinful activities, but if one repeatedly and intentionally commits sins while chanting the holy name, he is most condemned. Prabhupada used to speak against the proposition that the person would commit sinful activities for a week and then go one day to a temple or church and admit his sinful activities so that he can be washed off sins and again begin his sinning. This is most nonsensical and offensive, and it is not accepted by the author of Bhakti-rasamrta-sindhu. A person should be ashamed of his sinful activities and not use the chanting as the means to eradicate them and then go on sinning. It is not admitted in devotional service that one can repeatedly commit sinful activities and clear them up. It is sinister. Chanting will give one the power to not commit the sins again and one has to chant in that spirit. An accidental committing of sins is forgiven, but it is a completely different concept than deliberately thinking that chanting can counteract repeated sins. One should be very careful not to use the chanting as the counteraction to sin before taking initiation one promises to have no illicit sex, no intoxication, no gambling and no meat-eating, and this vow should strictly be followed. Then one will be clean. If one keeps oneself clean in this way and always engages in devotional service his life will be a success.

I rose this morning about 1:30 A.M. with a clear head. But my chanting went very slowly. I was struggling with drowsiness. In two hours of chanting I completed twelve rounds, and not even that. It is frustrating to chant so slowly and with the lack of keen attention. The exercise of chanting is not profound and is neglectful. At least one is up early and is making the effort but one wants to do better than that.

Committing sins

on the strength of chanting is a grievous

offense, the worst abuse.

I think I’m free of

this condemnation. But

there are other anarthas,


my chanting too slowly

and without alertness.

You may excuse yourself

and say it’s a physical

condition. But it must

be overcome. Keeping

awake is an attitude,

a fight in which you

must succeed. It comes

from lethargy and lack

of devotion. You can

overcome it with

share determination and

the blessings of harinama.

Kurma dasa, AU: Krishna Valley Bhakti Yoga Retreat October 2010


Our second Bhakti Yoga Cookery Retreat for 2010 is over. It was even better than the first one. Spring is here in Australia, and the favourable weather added an extra lightness to the 2-day event. Here's our crew, in the well-equipped farm kitchen.

Krishna Valley October 2010:

Veda Priya (kneeling, far left) and husband Keshava (standing second from right) are full-time residents on the farm. Assisted by Manigriva (at the back, in yellow) and Gandiva (in white hat, back, fifth from right), they co-ordinate the day-to-day running of the farm.

kitchen camaraderie at Krishna Valley.jpg:

For those of you that haven't heard of this event, Krishna Valley is in country Victoria, surrounded by State Forest. And if you don't know your geography, the 200 acres of beautiful rolling countryside is a couple hours outside of Melbourne, Australia.

Jacqui, Lauren and Lynn.jpg:

The yoga of cooking is the theme of the retreat. There's lots to learn, lots to eat, and great company. Here's Jacqui, sister-in-law of Keshava, Lauren and her mother Lynn.

lunch at Krishna Valley:

Many retreats are held here, such as a Vedic Astrology retreat next week wih Bhanu Swami. Great accomodation facilities make it a real haven. And did I mention the spiritual food?

H.H. Satsvarupa das Goswami: Monk’s Dream


www.sdgonline.org. SDGonline Daily updates

A monk had a dream

that he was purified and

was qualified to return

to Goloka Vrndavana. He

anticipated meeting his

spiritual master as Brijbasi

who would lead him in

intimate service to Radha.

But when he woke from

the dream he sadly discovered

he was still incomplete.

He had material attachments

and dirty things in his mind.

After weeping tears of regret

he composed himself

and set to work on

self-improvement. He

took out his beads

and began to finger

them diligently. He

prayed for service.

He took up his master’s

instructions to be pure

in habits and to

preach Lord Caitanya’s mission.

He went out on harinama and

distributed books. He wrote

from his creative self

based on the sastra.

He controlled his tongue

away from prajalpa and

spoke of Krishna with his

devotee friends and innocent

nondevotees.

He controlled his eating and didn’t

associate loosely with women. The next

time he dreamed he

again saw himself as

purified. It was a happy

dream, but he woke

back in a conditioned

state, still with

anarthas and offenses

against the holy names.

The monk felt let down

and told himself: “I don’t

want to have these false

dreams of going to Goloka.”

He straw in his waking

hours to be a standard qualified

sadhaka. Gradually, the dreams of attaining back to Godhead

stopped occurring, and he dreamed

of seeing his guru in a material

world, purifying himself to

work hard with devotion.

He felt better about these dreams,

thinking that they were more realistic

and they spired him to serve

with vigor.

Occasionally he read of Krishna and Radha

in Vrndavana and relished the

rasas. It seems to him

the perfection of devotional service.

But he restrained himself from

thinking he was already there.

There was so much work to

do on Krishna’s behalf in this world,

he concentrated on his service

and went on chanting and hearing.

H.H. Satsvarupa das Goswami: Free Write


www.sdgonline.org. SDGonline Daily updates

I turned at random to Srimad-Bhagavatam Canto One, Chapter 19, verse 2:

“King Pariksit thought: Due to my neglecting the injunctions of the Supreme Lord I must certainly expect some difficulty to overcome me in the near future. I now desire without reservation that the calamity come now, for in this way I may be freed of the sinful action and not commit such an offense again.” Maharaja Pariksit was repentant for committing an offence to a faultless brahmana. He expects he will receive punishment. He desires wholeheartedly that the calamity come right now. In this way he will be free from the sinful reaction and he will commit any sins in the future. He also does not want the sinful reactions to fall on his family members but he wants to receive it alone. Generally, a person’s personal misconduct affects all his family members. But Maharaja Pariksit wanted to suffer alone and counteract his sins so that his family descendants would not have to suffer. This is how the responsible devotee thinks. Similarly, his family members shared good effects of his service to the Lord. “A devotee son in the family is the greatest book or blessing of the Lord. “

Maharaja Pariksit was so powerful that he could have counteracted the curse of the young, untrained brahmana boy, Srngi. But he was pious that he accepted the curse upon himself. This also brought about his immediate detachment from all material affairs and it brought upon the occasion that he will spend the last seven days of his life in constant hearing of Srimad-Bhagavatam from the perfect sage and devotee, Sukadeva Goswami. This made Maharaja Pariksit perfect for going back to Godhead.

I’m in Viraha Bhavan, writing a poem about a devotee who dreamt he went back to Godhead but then woke to discover he did not had the adhikara. He determined to stop dreaming of attaining Goloka and work for his spiritual master’s mission in the world. It was not a great poem but it had a simple point. Everyday I will beg the muse for some simple lines of poetry to share with my readers. I also share what we are reading in Srila Prabhupada’s books and Caitanya Bhagavata. Rama Raya mentioned today that Srila Prabhupada said 90% of the eternal spirit souls are safely with Krishna in the spiritual world of eternity bliss and knowledge. Only small percentages are fallen and rotating in the species of life in the world of temporality and misery. Krishna wants all souls to come back to Him, back to Godhead. Those compassionate souls who work in this world and try to convert sinners to saintly persons are very much appreciated by the Lord. There are ever willing to give up their liberated status to work in the preaching mission in the material world. They are guaranteed to go back to Godhead, but they prefer to go the Lord’s missionary work. They come from the spiritual world to save sinners. I’m living in the material world and I’m not working fully in preaching actions. Just today I had a migraine headache and had to take Summatriptim pills. I managed to do some writing in-between headaches but I can’t live the active life of a lecturer and travelling sannyasi. How will Krishna judge me? I have done some active service earlier in my life but now I’m slowed down. I would like to back to the spiritual world, but I think I lack the qualification, krsna-prema. I want to please my spiritual master and serve him in my next life, but if I could do it with him in Goloka…

It is up to guru and Krishna where they send me next. I want to accept it without regret and continue my devotional service, as they place me. I don’t want to be a phony or a hypocrite. But I need the strength to be brave.

Akrura das, Gita Coaching: TAKE SANNYASA AT ANY TIME


It is not that one has to accept sannyasa in ripe old age like me, seventy years or seventy-five years. Not that. Caitanya Mahaprabhu set up the example, that for Krsna's service one can take sannyasa at any time. So He did it by His personal example. ... That Caitanya Mahaprabhu gave up His opulent family life. When He was... He took sannyasa. At that time, His wife was only sixteen years old, and He had His affectionate mother, Sacidevi, very old. Nobody was to take care of him, her. But still, He took sannyasa for giving mercy to the poor human society in this age.

- Srila Prabhupada, The Nectar of Devotion, Vrndavana, October 21, 1972

Akrura das, Gita Coaching: SOLUTION FOR ALL FEAR


Srimad Bhagavatam 1.1.15



apannah samsrtim ghoram

yan-nama vivaso grnan

tatah sadyo vimucyeta

yad bibheti svayam bhayam



Living beings who are entangled in the complicated meshes of birth and death can be freed immediately by even unconsciously chanting the holy name of Krsna, which is feared by fear personified.



PURPORT

Vasudeva, or Lord Krsna, the Absolute Personality of Godhead, is the supreme controller of everything. There is no one in creation who is not afraid of the rage of the Almighty. Great asuras like Ravana, Hiranyakasipu, Kamsa, and others who were very powerful living entities were all killed by the Personality of Godhead. And the almighty Vasudeva has empowered His name with the powers of His personal Self. Everything is related to Him, and everything has its identity in Him. It is stated herein that the name of Krsna is feared even by fear personified. This indicates that the name of Krsna is nondifferent from Krsna. Therefore, the name of Krsna is as powerful as Lord Krsna Himself. There is no difference at all. Anyone, therefore, can take advantage of the holy names of Lord Sri Krsna even in the midst of greatest dangers. The transcendental name of Krsna, even though uttered unconsciously or by force of circumstances, can help one obtain freedom from the hurdle of birth and death.
