vida tentaPropagar o santo nome em toda parteA real e que todas essas personalidades divinas vivem nos coracoes dos devotos sinceros, todos eles estao sempre presentes. Tambem estao sempre presentes em seus livros sublimes, ou seja, em seu Som sublime.Nosso amado Srila Guru Maharaj (Sridhar Maharaj), que revelou ao mundo quem e Prabhupada realmente, ensina:Narottama Dasa Thakura diz, asraya lana bhaje tare krsna nahi tyaje: "Se pudermos conseguir um guardiao verdadeiro, nosso futuro na vida espiritual esta assegurado". Krsna nao pode despedir o guardiao com muita facilidade, pois o guardiao tem uma posicao solida na relacao com o Senhor. Se entrarmos no dominio cuidado pelo guardiao, nossa posicao esta segura. Nosso unico consolo e que vamos junto com Seu agente. Ele e tao bom e benevolente que enviou Seu agente para nos resgatar, e essa e a nossa esperanca. Devemos ser gratos por isso, e nao nos tornarmos traidores de Seu agente. Devemos ter muito cuidado em ver se nao traimos o Seu agente, pois senao trairemos a nos proprios.Mais um pouco das gotas de Nectar que emanam da boca de lotus de Srila Guru Maharaj:Se quisermos uma garantia de que Krsna vai ficar satisfeito com qualquer processo que adotemos, o dogma mais importante de nosso movimento e que devemos agir sob Seu agente. A satisfacao Dele depende disso. Se o agente for uma pessoa falsa, entao todo nosso esforco sera desperdicado. Se ele for um agente verdadeiro, devemos progredir pelo seu intermedio. Se nos conectarmos a Vaikuntha devido a nossa conexao com ele, ai nossas acoes terao valor. De outra forma, vamos nos perder, e cometer ofensas: nama-aparadha, seva-aparadha, arcana-aparadha, ofensas contra o Santo Nome, contra o servico devocional, e contra a adoracao correta ao Senhor.Isso esta escrito nas escrituras. Se o servico nao for feito corretamente, com certeza iremos cometer algumas ofensas contra a Deidade. Ou nos damos prazer a Ele ou, algum transtorno. Essa e uma forma intoleravel de conducao do processo sagrado. Devemos tomar cuidado com nama-aparadha e seva-aparadha. Nao devemos ter confianca demais em nossa conquista previa. Podemos ter conquistado tanto, nosso progresso pode ser grande, mas nao devemos ficar orgulhosos. Nao devemos ficar satisfeitos com nos proprios.O proprio Mahaprabhu diz: "Eu adotei o Nome, demonstro tanta paz, derramo tantas lagrimas, no Nome de Krsna. Mas por que? E tudo falso. Minhas lagrimas sao so para exibicao, para convencer os outros de que Eu sou um grande devoto". Desse jeito, devemos desacreditar que somos devotos. Devemos ter muito cuidado, muito, muito cuidado. Kaviraja Gosvami e Narottama Thakura escreveram assim."Sou desprezado, sou deixado para tras, sou excluido. Sou tao baixo; sou tao contaminado. Sou rejeitado pelo lila Infinito. Eu nao consegui aproveitar essa grande onda da fortuna". Assim e o verdadeiro sentimento de um Vaisnava que tem uma relacao real com o Infinito. A medida em que o finito entra em contato com o Infinito, a disposicao so pode ficar afetada. Nao e imitacao; so pode ser a coisa real."Eu estou vazio. Eu nao consigo nada". Esse deve ser o nosso humor. "Sinto um vazio dentro de mim.
Nao consigo nada, minha vida esta frustrada. Minha vida vai ser frustrada. Eu nao consigo nem uma gota da graca do Senhor; e eu abandonei o mundo; tudo se foi. Se Voce nao me aceitar, estou perdido. Por favor, faca-me um servo do servo do servo do servo. De-me a conexao mais remota. Bondosamente, de-me alguma conexao bem remota com Voce. Nao vou conseguir suportar de outra forma". Essa prece sincera, do fundo do coracao, deve vir dos devotos do Senhor, entao encontraremos a nossa fortuna. A atracao pelo mundo exterior deve ser eliminada completamente do coracao, totalmente esvaziada. E o futuro proximo sera repleto de nectar pela graca de Krsna....Srila Bhaktivinoda Thakura explicou que somos de fato inferiores a palha na rua, pois em nossa existencia presente somos vikrta, ou desordenados. Mas a palha e pelo menos passiva e mantem sua posicao natural. Nos perdemos nossa funcao correta e nos tornamos de valor negativo; falta-nos o valor positivo da palha pois somos adversos a nossa posicao natural.Vamos contra nosso proprio interesse com nossa inteligencia. Nos temos inteligencia, mas esta desencaminhada, oposta a propria ordem das coisas. A palha esta em equilibrio; nao pode se mover por vontade propria. Mas nos podemos nos mover para a direcao errada, portanto, estamos em uma posicao muito pior do que a palha. Usamos nossos recursos com desejo de nos desencaminhar, mas a palha mantem a sua posicao fixa sem desvio.No sentido mundano, podemos ter uma posicao superior a da folha de grama ou da arvore, mas para que isso? Fazemos mal uso de todos nossos creditos para nosso egocentrismo. Portanto somos inferiores a palha. Nos estamos armados, mas armados para o suicidio. Um louco nao deve ter uma adaga. Ele e perigoso. Ele pode se apunhalar a qualquer momento. Ele e louco.Krsna, Krsna, Krsna. Onde esta Krsna? Chegue nesse nivel, chegue nesse plano, e vamos ver que Krsna esta em toda parte. Mas nossos olhos e nossos sentidos se atraem pelos encantos de diferentes lugares, e nao temos tempo de olhar em direcao a Krsna.Sabatha krsne mukti kari janma. A percepcao de Krsna esta em toda parte, mas nossa visao se atrai, fica capturada, por tantos encantos flutuantes, que nao podemos ver Krsna.Nosso preconceito com o mundo externo cobriu nossos olhos, e arrastou todos nossos sentidos a ele, e nao podemos ver Krsna. Nao podemos ver o verdadeiro benquerente, o verdadeiro guardiao, o verdadeiro amigo, o verdadeiro amante. Estamos tao ocupados com nossas transacoes com coisas externas que nao temos tempo de jeito nenhum para olhar em direcao a Ele. Nos ignoramos nosso melhor amigoEsta transacao com o ambiente externo continua devido a nosso ego falso, a personalidade falsa. Essa e a posicao de uma pessoa em cativeiro, um ser caido. Nosso eu verdadeiro nao esta representado na transacao que acontece em nosso nome. Os sentidos, a mente e a inteligencia estao saturados com outros interesses, e conduzem uma transacao falsa. E uma situacao desesperada. Sarvopadhi vinir-muktam tat-paratvena nirmalam.Anyata rupam, aquilo que e como uma doenca, indesejavel, coisas estranhas indesejaveis, veio para nos cobrir. Isso
a mente das pessoas e de todos os Avataras pois sua docura transcende a docura e beleza de uma infinidade de cupidos do amor. "Hare" e caso indicativo do termo Hari, ou segundo o Brahmasamhita, Aquela que pode roubar a mente deHari por causa de Seu amor e afeicao inigualaveis se chama "Hara", e se aplica somente a Srimati Radhika, filha do rei Vrishabhanu, e no caso vocativo Ela e "Hare".Segundo o Agama Shastra, o significado de Krishna e Quem atrai ou Quem cativa. Krishna e derivado da raiz "Krish", i.e. atrair, e com a aplicacao do sufixo "Na", indica bem-aventuranca suprema. Portanto, Ele e o Grande Atraente, Ele e o Brahman Supremo e a personificacao da bem-aventuranca eterna. Krishna no caso indicativo e Krishna. Shiva diz no Agama: "O deusa! Todos os pecados sao retirados com a pronuncia de "Ra", e "Ma" e uma porta fechada que previne a entrada do pecado novamente". Este e o significado de "Rama". Os Puranas tambem afirmam: "O significado de "Rama" e Aquele que e o Deus do Lila amoroso conjugal e que esta sempre ocupado em diversoes amorosas com Sua companheira eterna Sri Radha". Portanto, "Rama" indica somente Krishna e ninguem mais. Mostraremos a implicacao de cada Nome no curso da discussao sobre Nama-Bhajan.Os devotos que estao no estagio ascendente de Prema cantam e memorizam series de "Hare Krishna Nama" fazendo a contagem em contas. Durante a hora do cantar e memorizar, eles cultivam constantemente o Swarupa transcendental, pois sabem o significado do Nama. No curso do cultivo constante, todo o mal e removido bem depressa e o coracao se torna puro. Por meio do recitar do semblante de Harinama e da ponderacao constante sobre o Seu significado, o Nama transcendental vai aparecer naturalmente no coracao puro deles
ou avataras quando ahumanidade nao adota com seriedade seus ensinamentos. O processo de resgate da alma condicionada e umesforco permanente do plano divino. Krsna afirma no Gita que sempre que ha umdeclinio na religiosidade Ele se manifesta neste plano fenomenal. Tambem seafirma no Gita que no principio o conhecimento vedico foi transmitido porVishnu a Brahma, por Brahma a Narada e assim sucessivamente, mas que com opassar do tempo o conhecimento vedico se perdeu. Essa e a acao de kala, o tempo, tambem umamanifestacao energetica de Krsna. A verdade e que sempre que alguem aceita decoracao as instrucoes de Deus, pessoais ou por seus avataras, profetas, gurus,pode obter a salvacao espiritual. Sob esse prisma, Vishnu e Brahma, o preceptoruniversal, incansavelmente aparecem em diversas epocas e em diversos povos paradar as almas condicionada uma chance de se realizarem espiritualmente.Voce toma o esforco de salvacao como um atorealizado e consumado no tempo, porem, mesmo na teologia crista, que aceitaJesus como o salvador da humanidade, e dito que aquele que o aceita com fe teraa vida eterna. Nao vejo fracasso nenhum na missao de Deus e de seus agentes quandoa humanidade nao responde a corda que lhe e lancada do plano superior.PREMA GOET: No '' Quem e quem '' na Lila deCaitanya Mahaprabhu ( Sri Gaura ganoddesa-dipika) escrito por SrilaKavi-Karnapura diz que alguns dos associados de Caitanya Mahaprabhu eramcompostos de uma, duas e as vezes ate tres personalidades liberadas, servindona reino eterno de Goloka Vrndavana, Sugiro que leia.ADVAYA DASA: O tema ja foi tratado acima. Ja litodo o Caitanya Caritamrta. Mesmo assim, o conselho para le-lo novamente esempre bem-vindo. Alem da cobranca de uma inviavel referencia a pramanasvedicos para um texto informal de teologia comparada, nao encontrei no seutexto nada que seja conclusivo para afastar o que escrevi. Isso nao significaque eu nao possa mudar meu entendimento, mas para tanto espero que voceapresente argumentos mais sonoros. Devemos distinguir especulacao de analise. Analise, sintese, analogia, deducao, inducao,referencia, inferencia, e assim por diante, sao ferramentas de nyaya - logica.Nyaya era objeto das aulas de Caitanya Mahaprabhu e nao pode ser descartadapelo estudante vedico, inclusive quando utiliza o instrumental de conhecimentorecebido na sampradaya ao se deparar com outras teologias, o que e praticamenteinevitavel no mundo globalizado em que se situa nosso trabalho missionario. Nao espero sua concordancia, mas e claro que osimples fato de voce subestimar o que escrevi nao via contribuir em nada paraque eu mude minha compreensao do tema. Por fim, uma curiosidade esoterica: efetuando asoma numerologica do nome hebraico de Jesus - Ieoshua - e do nome Haridas (comose escreve e fala em Bengali), temos em ambos o total de 33, que por sinal foio tempo que Jesus executou sua lila neste planeta.

Hare Krishna LinksEverything you always wanted to know about the International Society for Krishna Consciousness its scandals and controversies, the good, the bad and the ugly. (HIPOCRISIA) Hridayananda Goswami aka Howard Acaryapada aka Gurudeva Hridayananda's Sex - Drugs - and Cocaine Party http://www.harekrsna.org/gbc/black/hridaya.htm April, 2009Please accept my humble obeisances.All glories to Srila Prabhupada!Thank you to the devotees who have given support & encouragement to me in exposing the wrongdoings which I have witnessed, & thereby helped me to free myself from the implications described by Prabhupada in the following quote:Prabhupada has stated in his conversations of May 3, 1973, Los Angeles,"...one who is mischievous, he is culprit. But one who tolerates mischievous activity, he is also culprit. If you are mischievous, you are criminal. But if you tolerate mischievous activities that is also criminal. "& on April 19, 1973:"So you all write very strongly vehemently. Even it is a little offensive, still these rascals should be taught a lesson. Yes. They're misleading. Godlessness."The next quote was provided by Mahesh Prabhu, sorry I've lost the date reference."Now they are talking nonsense. We can detect that "Here is a jackal." So we have to expose them. They are not leader; they are jackals. So jackals cannot anymore rule over. That should be our propaganda. Not only scientific, all political things, social things, everything. They should be all kicked out. They should be replaced by Krsna consciousness. Then people will be happy. This should be our program. Our, this propaganda means to make people happy. It is not a business, to make business and take some money. And so many jackals have been arrested and resigned in your... You know that? Many jackals have been obliged to resign their post in the government."The following text is taken from my descriptions for my doctor, to explain why I would describe myself as suffering from post traumatic stress:I am faced with the task of exposing abuses within a religious cult, which I witnessed as far back as 1989. Some of the things I saw, seem so bizarre, that I find them hard to believe. The fact that I was programmed into obedience under hypnosis, & instructed to ignore & forget anything I might see in relation to abuses perpetrated by established cult members, would be impossible to prove, but it is a fact.This occured some weeks after I had reported an instance of child molestation by a teacher in the cult schooling system. I was offered "hypnotherapy" during a private meeting with an established cult member, who knew that I was the witness. It was also known that I had openly discussed the molestation, & the fact that the cult member who was now offering hypnotherapy, had been largely responsible for allowing the molester to escape. Also I had a bad reputation for shocking people with anecdotes of my past. It was considered bad public relations for me, as a person associated with the cult, to talk about the sick experiences of my past. I was offered hypnotherapy as a way to help me forget about my
past traumatic experiences. But the motivation was really to stop me from taking about the failings & abuses of established cult members. It was about 14 years until I regained permanent recollection of the molestation. Until recently, perhaps even to this day, it could be possible, at intervals, for me to completely forget all the traumatic experiences of my life, as if they had never happened.Some time ago, while talking about my life to a new aquaintance, I told them that I had never witnessed any serious wrong doing whilst operating as a member of the cult. Which is probably just what I was told, under hypnosis, to say to anyone who asked questions about institutional corruption.I had to apologise to my aquaintance the next day, & then explain the real events, having remembered the previously forgotten traumas, including the first instance of wrong doing which I had witnessed & reported. That is the child molestation after which, being reported by me, the perpetrator to fled from the cult building, & was never seen by me again, until his face appeared in the newspapers, as a convicted child killer.As well as the hypnosis, I was psychologically bullied over the years, & programmed into forgetting all about such things as soon as they had happened. However, at this time, there is no doubt whatsoever in my mind, that I have witnessed cocaine abuse, child molestation, rape & murder amongst the leaders of the cult. Unfortunately I was too shocked & brainwashed to take necessary action at the time.What follows is a description of one of the shocking experiences I have previously failed to expose.HOWARD RESNIC / Hridayananda Swami.This is a recollection of my memories of Hrdayananda Swami/Howard resnic. I have other memories to relate concerning Tamal Krishna Goswami & Jayapataka Swami, but I'm taking my time to write them all down.I saw Howard Resnic (Hridayaynanda dasa "Goswami") snorting cocaine & having sex on the roof of the long building at Mayapura Chandrodaya Mandir in 1991, just before the Gaura Purnima Festival.The day I saw Resnic having sex, I was warned by my roomates not to go up to the roof because there was some spaced out karmi up there. I was accustomed to chanting my rounds on the roof & didn't want to let that stop me. When I got up there there were little poly bags littering the place & short straws. I didn't understand at the time but it looked like the remains of a cocaine party.At the far eastern end of the rooftop a short fat man was lying on a sun lounger, facing east, having his feet massaged by a woman dressed in a sari.If you have ever been up on the roof of the "long building" guest house at Sri Mayapura Dhama Chandrodaya Mandir, you will know that there are two staircases that lead to the roof. In 1991 a one legged sannyasi had his living quarters towards the western stairway & an old man who was simply known as Dadu had his quarters in the vicinity of
the stairs situated towards the eastern end of the building..There was a considerable distance of space between the stairways and the ends of the building, which was mostly occupied by wires stretched between steel poles to act as washing lines.The previous night the residents of the guest house had their sleep disturbed because there had been a lot of noise coming from the roof, mostly loud talking & laughter, also erratic beating of the mrdanga without chanting. At one stage there was some kirtan, but it didn't last long, it was interupted by laughter. To be frank it sounded like a bunch of "devotees" were getting drunk.As I mentioned previously, when I arrived on the roof that morning, to chant my japa as usual, the first thing that I noticed were the little poly bags with snap fastenings, of the type that are sometimes used to distribute prasadam, that were littering the place. Also short, transparent, green straws, the same as those given out with drinks on aeroplanes, but cut down to approximately 3 inches in length. Some of the polybags had been ripped open & most of them had more or less of a residue of white powder in them.I was surprised to find such a mess, as devotees are usually so tidy & especially careful about cleaning up the remnants of prasadam. At first I thought that the white powder must be some form of sugar based prasadam. But I was puzzled as to what the straws were for. It should have been obvious, but I had been conditioned to believe that to take note of wrongful behaviour on the part of my senior devotees was an offence that would lead to falldown.As a total neophyte, I took everyone to be my senior, so I was loathe to think the worst in any situation. However, what else could it have been but drugs? Right in front of me as I reached the top of the stairs, on the raised ledge that contains the rooftop, there was a poly bag containing substantial residue of white powder & a short green straw lying next to it. There was also a patch of powder stuck to the rough concrete surface of the ledge.The weather was very still & had been all night, the evidence of last night's party had hardly been disturbed at all by the wind.The next thing that I noticed was the man on the sunlounger at the farthest easterly end of the rooftop, having his feet massaged by an attractive white female who was wearing a sari.I remember thinking that I wouldn't mind a bit of that sort of treatment myself. I did feel distinctly jealous, so I tried not to look at them & got on with my chanting. I can't remember how long I was chanting but it was long enough for the warmth of the morning sun to increase considerably, as the white residues in the bags & on the ledge slowly melted into clear liquid, in a way that no sugar based substance, that I know
of, would do. Perhaps you don't know that cocaine turns to clear liquid above a certain heat, I didn't at the time, so I was puzzled as to what it was. The clue was with the straws, & with the loud laughter of the previous night, but I didn't want to believe that devotees could fall down like that. I had already blocked out the memory of seeing Tamal sniff coke in Bombay. The mental pressure of forcing myself to ignore the horrible truth sparked a feeling of depression instantly. With a feeling of suppressed anger, I lost interest in what I was chanting & started to glance towards the easterly end of the rooftop.The man on the sun lounger was talking to his female servant sporadically, then he reached to a small table on his left, & although I couldn't see directly, he appeared to pick up a small poly bag & empty it onto the top of his chest, then he offered a straw to the woman who exclaimed, "What are you trying to do kill me?!" He muttered something & it looked as if she was letting him know of my presence some distance off, as she kept glancing at me nervously, I pretended as much as possible to be ignoring them, he didn't bother to look around to see me. He continually urged her & eventually she nervously complied in taking the straw. It looked as if she sniffed something off his chest, then he took the straw & sniffed the remainder, which might sound like a physical impossibility, but actually it is fairly common practice for heavy cocaine users to lie there sniffing cocaine off their own chest.He then gave her a command which I do not want to repeat in full, but just so as there isn't any doubt, he said "F--- me!" & it was in the sense of a command, & not merely an exclamation.She looked shocked & reminded him that they were not alone. He must have been very heavily intoxicated because he didn't even care to look around. He continually urged her & eventually, without undressing she climbed on top of him & crouched down.Seconds later she was running across the rooftop weeping, she ran passed me leaving a trail of stinking fluid.As she ran past me to the entrance of the stairway she cowered away from me in fear for some reason, although I made no movements. There was a sizeable blot of bodily fluid left behind her, just a little to the right, about three feet from where I was standing, opposite the entrance to the stairway. The unmistakable smell of semen was repulsively strong & fresh.More or less in shock, I just stood there in disgust, still chanting my rounds & really not knowing what to make of all this. I was so stunned that I didn't notice Resnic approaching me a couple of minutes later. As I heard his footsteps approach I turned with what must have been an obvious look of hatred on my face so much
