ISKCON Melbourne, AU: Today's Darsana

12/08/2011

"...Nitai broke down the strong embarkment of the ocean of love. Completely devastated that dam! ... So then there was a heavy rush flowing. Such a flood came. A flood in every home. It inundated the whole world!"

(Nitai Guna-Mani Amara by Srila Locana Dasa Thakura).

So let His darsana flood every home and thus inundate the whole world with His magnanimity!

Japa Group: The Life And The Soul


Hare Krsna dear devotees,


I would like to share with you one verse of the Siksastakam:
Let there be supreme victory for the chanting of the holy name of Sri Krishna, which cleanses the mirror of the heart and exstinguishes the blazing fire of material existence. Sri Krishna sankirtana diffuses the soothing rays of bhava that cause the white lotus of good fortune for all living entities to bloom. The holy name of Krishna is the life and soul of all transcendental knowledge and increases the ocean of transcendental bliss. The holy name bathes and cools the body, mind and soul and enables one to taste full nectar at every step.
I wish you can have a great weekend.

your servant,

Aruna devi

Bharatavarsa.net: Bhakti Vikasa Swami: Purify wherever you go

If you simply carry Krsna within your heart always in a very devotional service, exalted devotional service, and chant Hare Krsna, and think of Krsna, wherever you will go, you will purify the whole place. Svantah-sthena gadabhrta. It is fact. It is confirmed in the Srimad-Bhagavatam. Try to remain in your position as devotee, and as far as possible teach these rascals who are simply attracted by the glaring material stones and woods, and let them have some knowledge and do benefit to your countrymen, to your society, to your family.

Madhava Ghosh dasa, New Vrndavan, USA: Please help me

“After all, a sincere devotee always prays to the Lord, “Please help me to love You purely.” Therefore the Lord’s so-called neglect is actually the fulfillment of the devotee’s prayer. Lord Krsna intensifies our love for Him by apparently separating Himself from us, and the result is that we achieve what we really wanted and prayed for: intense love for the Absolute Truth, Krsna. Thus Lord Krsna’s apparent negligence is actually His thoughtful reciprocation and the fulfillment of our deepest and purest desire.”

Srimad Bhagavatam 10.32.20

” ‘Please help me. what am I going to do? I can’t go on like this. You can see that!  Look at the state I am in. what ought I to do? Show me the way.’ As if I needed more information or some kind of sign!

“…suddenly, as soon as I had made that prayer, I became aware of the wood, the trees, the dark hills, the wet night in my imagination, I started to hear the great bell of Gethsemani ringing in the night…”

ISKCON News.com: Center of Attention

By Sutapa Das for sutapamonk.blogspot.com on 11 Aug 2011

As a traveling monk you have to keep your philosophical boxing gloves at the ready. Recently, someone quite bluntly told me they had serious issues with Krishna’s personality! There were some serious doubts here - the person had painted a picture of God as an attention-seeking ego-maniac! I was slightly taken aback, but tried to dig a little deeper.

Japa Group: Meaning Of The Sixteen Names PT.3


Hare

sruyate niyate rase harina harineksana
ekakini rahah-kunje hareyam tena kathyate

It has been heard that during the rasa-lila, doe-eyed Radha was stolen away by Krsna to be alone with Him in a secret forest bower. She is therefore known as Hara.

Jiva Goswami
