The sound vibration from the spiritual sky can automatically cleanse all material contaminations, as confirmed by Caitanya Mahaprabhu: ceto-darpana-marjanam. We need only take the advice of Lord Caitanya Mahaprabhu and chant the Hare Krsna mantra to cleanse the mind of all material contamination, and this may be considered the summary of this difficult verse. As soon as the whole material contamination is washed away by this process of chanting, all desires and reactions to material activities become immediately vanquished, and real life, peaceful existence, begins. In this age of Kali it is very difficult to adopt the yogic process mentioned in this verse. Unless one is very expert in such yoga, the best course is to adopt the ways and means of Lord Caitanya Mahaprabhu, sri-krsna-sankirtanam. Thus one can gloriously become freed from all material contamination by the simple process of chanting Hare Krsna, Hare Krsna, Krsna Krsna, Hare Hare. Hare Rama, Hare Rama, Rama Rama, Hare Hare. Just as life in this material world has its beginning in material sound, similarly a spiritual life has its beginning in this spiritual sound vibration.[Srila Prabhupada from Srimad-Bhagavatam 4.23.17] Chants to Clean...

They do this by exploiting the fundamental illusion overcoming all of us. That illusion is the false identification of our real self [the soul] with the material body. By thinking we are a product of matter we are all entrapped by bodily destinations of black, white, American, Russian, Muslim, Christian, Jew etc. In this illusory consciousness we are easily divided and conquered. In this video His Divine Grace A. C. Bhaktivedanta Prabhupada explains that this fundamental illusion of false consciousness has to be clear out then we can come to our original consciousness, Krishna Consciousness.Therefore we can see why Prabhupada and the ancient Vedic message he presents is so dangerous to the Illuminati demons of this world. Not only does Prabhupada present the Vedic knowledge AS IT IS but he gives the practical process by which we can transcend all illusions of the Matrix. As soon as our false identification with the material body is over the Illuminati's power over us is FINISHED. And their ability to divide and conquer is truly DESTROYED!I urge you to read the original writings of Prabhupada and you will perceive the real illuminating knowledge of the Supreme Lord Sri Krishna revealed to you. Even a slight glimpse of this knowledge will free you from so much darkness of illusion, just as a slight rising of the sun dissipates the darkness of night. The light of speculative glow-worms such as David Icke, who can never actually light up the dark sky of Illuminati ignorance, will also be realized by you as insignificant. The Illuminati's...

http://www.prabhupada.org.uk/http://protectacow.typepad.com/goshalla/2007/03/real_geeta_nagr.htmlPrabhupada's Gita Nagari ProphecyBack To Godhead Magazine Volume 3, Part 6, May 20, 1956 VOLUME III PART VI Delhi, Sunday 20th May 1956 By Bhaktivedanta Prabhupada1. The Personality of Godhead Sree Krishna appears Himself in this mortal world by dint of his Internal Potency in order to be visible to the conditioned souls and specially to human being, although in essence He is eternally unchangeable Supreme Truth and Absolute Lord of the visible and invisible worlds. He is ever existent prior to the creation of the manifested world. The Vedas are known to be transcendental because they were impregnated in the heart of Brahma by Sree Krishna after creation of the universes and as such Vedic knowledge has descended in a transcendental process of aural reception from Sree Brahma to Narada, from Narada to Vyasa, from Vyasa to Sree Sukhdeva Goswami and Sree Sukhdeva Goswami to other disciples by succession. The Vedic knowledge is famous as Sruti because it has descended in the above process of hearing only. But the original Teacher of such knowledge is nobody else than Sree Krishna Himself. 2. Sreemad Bhagwat Geeta and the transcendental knowledge thereof has also descended in the above process of aural reception from Vaivaswata Manu but when the chain of disciplic succession was broken at the beginning of the Kali Yuga by the influence of the External Energy of the Personality of Godhead known as Maya, it was again reincarnated by the Supreme Authority of Sree Krishna Himself at the battlefield of the sacred place of Kurukshetra in the presence of His most beloved friend and devotee Sree Arjuna. He summarised the full text of the Vedas and Upanishads in the teachings of Sree Bhagwat Geeta in order to give facility to the people of the present age, who are mostly affected by the influence of Kali Yuga or the age of quarrel and disagreement. 3. The summumbonum teaching of Sreemad Bhagwat Geeta is that RELIGION means the art and science of learning the transcendental process of surrendering unto the Lotus Feet of the Absolute Personality of Godhead Sree Krishna. The purity of such religious knowledge becomes polluted when conditioned souls become too much influenced by the External Energy of Godhead as they forget their eternal relation with Him and thereby become too much addicted to the material process of sense gratification which is the lowest and crude form of human existence. When such irreligious life of the people in general flourished by the influence of External Energy of Godhead, the world at large suffers terribly in all directions in the way of challenging the very existence of Godhead. 4. The Personality of Godhead and His transcendental utterances as sounded in the Bhagwat Geeta are identical. Sreemad Bhagwat Geeta is therefore eternally the Personality of Godhead Himself with full potency and therefore when the transcendental knowledge of Bhagwat Geeta is received in the manner as it was received by Sree Arjuna we can be equally enlightened as Arjuna was. When the law-abiding devotees of Godhead become disturbed by the unlawful activities of the Ashuras i.e. those who are averse to acknowledge the Supreme Authority of Godhead, at such critical time either the Personality of Godhead or His counterpart Form of transcendental Sound appears in this mortal world in order to save the faithful and annihilate the unbelievers. As such Bhagwat Geeta descended directly from the utterances of the Personality of Godhead in order to save the faithful and to annihilate the unbelievers at the juncture of disappearance of the Dwapara Yuga and appearance of the Kali Yuga in the battlefield of Kurukshetra, which was fought between two rival political parties namely the Kurus and the Pandavas. At the present age the same fight between two rival parties of politicians without any guidance of the transcendental direction of Godhead is merrily going on at the expense of the innocent poor people of the world and as such Sree Krishna has descended again in the shape of Geeta Nagari with the same purposes of saving the faithful and annihilating the unbelievers as He did in the battlefield of Kurukshetra. 5. The Geeta Nagari will therefore be the main preaching centre of the Supreme Authority of Sree Krishna the Personality of Godhead. It shall be proclaimed from that place that Sree Krishna, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, is the Absolute Enjoyer of all benefits derived from all kinds of work, sacrifice, cultivation of knowledge; that He is the Absolute Proprietor of all the manifested universes and that He is the unalloyed friend and philosopher of all living entities namely the gods or rulers, the general people, the beasts, the birds, the reptiles, the plants and trees or the aquatic animals residing in every nook and corner of the great universe. When such knowledge will be fostered from the vantage of Sree Geeta Nagari, at that time only, real peace and prosperity will usher in the world so anxiously awaited by all kinds of people. Unfortunately the present trend of human civilization is conducted just on the opposite direction of the above views. The human being has declared himself as the supreme enjoyer of everything and the proprietor of the world. He has declared himself foolishly as the friend and philosopher of the people in general enamoured by material power and wealth, which is bringing in ruination for himself and his followers. Every human being is imagining himself as an independant God (?) and foolishly trying to guide the activities of his so-called followers without knowing the art and science of such leadership business. Such leadership for the actual benefit of the people in general can effectively be conducted when the leaders themselves will know the art and science of surrendering unto the lotus feet of Sree Krishna and shall be able to convince their followers that God alone has the absolute prerogative in the above-mentioned three main functions.

Él fue el bienqueriente de toda la humanidad, un gran erudito y un escritor.Srila Prabhupada nació en Calcuta en el año de 1896; en su juventud participó del movimiento de Mahatma Gandhi y luego conoció a su Maestro Espiritual Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Saraswati Thakur. Como hombre casado apoyó la misión de su Maestro Espiritual de muchas maneras, entre ellas editando la revista en inglés Back to Godhead (De vuelta al Supremo). Luego de su primer encuentro con su Maestro Espiritual, Srila Prabhupada fue enviado para llevar al mundo entero el mensaje del Amor Puro por la Suprema Personalidad de Dios. Este mensaje tiene el efecto de despertar, en todos los seres que lo escuchan con devoción sincera, las maravillosas cualidades de la renuncia a las cosas indeseables y la sensibilidad completa hacia los dolores de todas las entidades vivientes, incluyendo los animales.

If you could go back in time to Vrindavan India in November 1977, with the knowledge that Prabhupada was been held in a small room against his will and been tortured and poisoned by demons dressed as devotees, would you try to save Prabhupada from this situation by attempting to take him from the room for Bullock Cart Tirthasthana as he was repeatedly requesting?2. If by the mercy of Prabhupada, thirty years later you had a chance to execute this neglected Bullock Cart Tirthasthana order, while simultaneously inaugurating the resurrection of His Divine Grace in sound vibration, would you let this empowering spiritual service and amazing historical moment in time, pass you by due to apathy?3. Does apathy on your part at this critical moment in history not clearly reveal that you too would not have carried out the order of Srila Prabhupada in November 1977, but like the others you would simply have remained silent and tolerated the grave offences to Prabhupada, so you could also fulfil your material ambitions by exploiting the mercy mission of His Divine Grace?4. If you could do something to help purify the whole world and awaken love for Prabhupada in the hearts of truthful souls while simultaneously curbing down the strength of the demoniac ruling elite, would you not put aside your regular duties and dedicate your whole self for this merciful service for one month or even just one day? 5. After understanding how dear Vrindavan dhama is to the Lord and all the pure devotees, if you could help revitalize Vraja after it has been exploited and polluted by demons and men with materialistic mind, would you not try for that? 6. If you had a chance to chant and dance in direct association with Srila Prabhupada and his sincere followers in Vrindavan on the 30th anniversary of his disappearance and also the 30th anniversary of his FINAL ORDER would you miss that nectarean association which would deepen your relationship with Prabhupada?Anyway my dear friend, let me begin my humble plea at your feet THE PRABHUPADA...

You perform yajna, there will be rain. And as soon as the ground is moist, you can produce anything, whatever you want. Sarva-kama-dugha mahi. From the field, you can get all your necessities of life. The first necessity is the food grain. So food grain you can eat, and the rejected grass portion, you give to the cows. So both the animal and the man get sufficient food. And the cows will give you nice milk, and from milk you can get butter, ghee, yogurt, so many nice sweetmeat. And there is ghee, and here is food grain, then you make kacuri, puri, samosa. Then sufficient foodstuff, nice, palatable, nutritious. First necessity is ahara. You get sufficient ahara. Then make little cottage for shelter. Just like there is rainfall. Now you require little... (thunder sounds) Ahara, nidra, bhaya, and sex. So marry. Then the whole problem is solved. And then, rest time you save and advance in Krsna conscious... This is civilization. Why you create unnecessary necessities of life and become complicated and forget Krsna? What is this civilization? Rascal civilization. Instead of giving protection to the cows, you are cutting the throat. Is that civilization? So this is a civilization of duskrtina, means mischief monger. Therefore they must suffer, and suffering. And asuras are being created. And Krsna's business is to kill the asuras. Paritranaya sadhunam vinasaya ca duskrtam. This is going on.

O learned brahmanas, when Sukadeva Gosvami recited Bhagavatam there [in the presence of Emperor Pariksit], I heard him with rapt attention, and thus, by his mercy, I learned the Bhagavatam from that great and powerful sage. Now I shall try to make you hear the very same thing as I learned it from him and as I have realized it.PURPORT. One can certainly see directly the presence of Lord Sri Krsna in the pages of Bhagavatam if one has heard it from a self-realized great soul like Sukadeva Gosvami. One cannot, however, learn Bhagavatam from a bogus hired reciter whose aim of life is to earn some money out of such recitation and employ the earning in sex indulgence. No one can learn Srimad-Bhagavatam who is associated with persons engaged in sex life. That is the secret of learning Bhagavatam Nor can one learn Bhagavatam from one who interprets the text by his mundane scholarship. One has to learn Bhagavatam from the representative of Sukadeva Gosvami, and no one else, if one at all wants to see Lord Sri Krsna in the pages. That is the process, and there is no alternative. Suta Gosvami is a bona fide representative of Sukadeva Gosvami because he wants to present the message which he received from the great learned brahmana. Sukadeva Gosvami presented Bhagavatam as he heard it from his great father, and so also Suta Gosvami is presenting Bhagavatam as he had heard it from Sukadeva Gosvami. Simple hearing is not all; one must realize the text with proper attention. The word nivista means that Suta Gosvami drank the juice of Bhagavatam through his ears. That is the real process of receiving Bhagavatam. One should hear with rapt attention from the real person, and then he can at once realize the presence of Lord Krsna in every page. The secret of knowing Bhagavatam is mentioned here. No one can give rapt attention who is not pure in mind. No one can be pure in mind who is not pure in action. No one can be pure in action who is not pure in eating, sleeping, fearing and mating. But somehow or other if someone hears with rapt attention from the right person, at the very beginning one can assuredly see Lord Sri Krsna in person in the pages of Bhagavatam.(S.B. 1.3.44) MATRIX DUALITY to...
FOR PRABHUPADA BOOKS AND DVDS: http://www.prabhupada.org.uk/shop/index.htmMY WEBSITE:http://www.prabhupada.org.uk/MYSPACE:http://www.myspace.com/mukunda_dasaTRANSLATION: The supreme occupation [dharma] for all humanity is that by which men can attain to loving devotional service unto the transcendent Lord. Such devotional service must be unmotivated and uninterrupted to completely satisfy the self.PURPORT: In this statement, Sri Suta Gosvami answers the first question of the sages of Naimisaranya. The sages asked him to summarize the whole range of revealed scriptures and present the most essential part so that fallen people or the people in general might easily take it up. The Vedas prescribe two different types of occupation for the human being. One is called the pravrtti-marga, or the path of sense enjoyment, and the other is called the nivrtti-marga, or the path of renunciation. The path of enjoyment is inferior, and the path of sacrifice for the supreme cause is superior. The material existence of the living being is a diseased condition of actual life. Actual life is spiritual existence, or brahma-bhuta existence, where life is eternal, blissful and full of knowledge. Material existence is temporary, illusory and full of miseries. There is no happiness at all. There is just the futile attempt to get rid of the miseries, and temporary cessation of misery is falsely called happiness. Therefore, the path of progressive material enjoyment, which is temporary, miserable and illusory, is inferior. But devotional service to the Supreme Lord, which leads one to eternal, blissful and all-cognizant life, is called the superior quality of occupation. This is sometimes polluted when mixed with the inferior quality. For example, adoption of devotional service for material gain is certainly an obstruction to the progressive path of renunciation. Renunciation or abnegation for ultimate good is certainly a better occupation than enjoyment in the diseased condition of life. Such enjoyment only aggravates the symptoms of disease and increases its duration. Therefore devotional service to the Lord must be pure in quality, i.e., without the least desire for material enjoyment. One should, therefore, accept the superior quality of occupation in the form of the devotional service of the Lord without any tinge of unnecessary desire, fruitive action and philosophical speculation. This alone can lead one to perpetual solace in His service. We have purposely denoted dharma as occupation because the root meaning of the word dharma is EVERYONE IS...

It might sound as if I'm stupid, but it's what I'm going to do. The first question could be a very long... I've got fifteen questions. If I could get them all answered, I'll feel just great. The first one is very basic: what is Krsna consciousness?Prabhupada: Krsna means God, and we are all connected with Krsna, God. God is the original father. Therefore we have got intimate connection with Krsna. So we have forgotten it, what is Krsna, what is my connection with Him, what is the aim of life. All these questions there are. And when one becomes interested with such questions, he is called Krsna conscious.Sandy Nixon: How did Krsna consciousness develop?Prabhupada: Krsna consciousness is already there in everyone's core of heart, but due to one's material conditional life, he has forgotten it. So this process of chanting Hare Krsna maha-mantra means to revive that consciousness. It is already there. Just like a few days ago these American, European boys and girls, they did not know who is Krsna. But now you have seen yesterday how their whole, that procession, throughout the whole procession, how they were chanting and dancing in ecstasy. So do you think that is artificial? No. Artificially nobody can chant and dance for hours together. That means the awakening of Krsna consciousness. It was there; by the bona fide process, it is now awakened. That is explained, nitya-siddha krsna-bhakti sadhya kabhu naya sravanadi-suddha-citte karaye udaya The Krsna consciousness is dormant in everyone's heart. So when he comes in contact with devotees, that is awakened. Just like to be attracted by a young girl or young boy, it is there in the child. That small child, it is there. And when he will be young, then it will be awakened. It is not that artificial something. So in association it is awakened. The potency is there already, but in good association, by hearing about Krsna one is awakened to the status of Krsna consciousness.Sandy Nixon: What is the difference between Krsna consciousness and Christ consciousness?Prabhupada: Christ consciousness is also Krsna consciousness, but people do not follow the rules and regulations of Christianity. Therefore they are not awakened. The commandments of Christ, they do not follow. Therefore they do not come to the standard of consciousness.Sandy Nixon: What is unique about Krsna consciousness that separates it from other religions? If it's a religion.Prabhupada: Religion means primarily to know God and love Him. That is religion. And nobody knows God, and what to speak of loving Him? Nobody is trained up how to know God and how to love Him. They are satisfied by going to the church: PERFECT QUESTIONS...

And unconditionally we can push on Krsna consciousness. Ahaituky apratihata. It is not that if we don't get a nice building as Atreya Rsi has supplied, then we cannot push on. No. That is not Krsna consciousness. Just like I began this movement underneath a tree in New York, Tompkinson Square, what is that?Devotees: Tompkins Square Park.Prabhupada: I used to sit down there. There was no mrdanga.
