Bharatavarsa.net: Bhakti Vikasa Swami: Nothing is new

And what is new? "There is nothing new in the world." The sun was rising on the eastern side. Still it is rising on the eastern side. The sun was setting on the western side. It is still setting. Your forefathers, grandfather, they were also eating; you are also eating. They also died, and we shall also die. What new thing is there? They died, and you will not die? What new we can give? Nothing. You have to follow by nature's law the old principles. They died; I will have to die. They ate; I am eating. They beget children; I am also begetting. So what is the difference? What is the new? Everything is going on in the old principles. It is simply our imagination that we are doing something new. There is nothing new. Ahara-nidra-bhaya-maithunam ca samanyam etat pasubhir naranam. We are under such stringent laws of the nature, there is no scope for inventing something new. That is not possible. We have to follow the old principles by force, by nature's law.

H.H. Satsvarupa das Goswami: With His Godbrothers: Groundbreaking

www.sdgonline.org. SDGonline Daily updates

Prabhupada Smaranam

Prabhupada and some of his peers are seated at the edge of the steep pit in which the Sesa murti will be planted. This is the first step in the installation and construction of a temple in India. The procedure is that the foundation of the temple will rest on the head of Sesa Ananta, who is strong enough to hold the planets on His heads and who protects the form of Vishnu hovering over His head. Prabhupada is in a very jolly mood on this occasion. His spiritual master gave him the order, "If you ever get money, print books." And Prabhupada did not get involved in trying to get possession of Gaudiya Math temples or centers after the disappearance of his spiritual master and the splitting of the Gaudiya Math into schisms. Prabhupada was not interested in constructing temples but applied his energy to writing, first Back to Godhead magazines and then the Herculean task of writing and printing and distributing Srimad-Bhagavatam. That was his primary task as given to him by his Guru Maharaja. He then went to America and recruited disciples and opened storefront temples and centers.

He sometimes said that the preaching in the West was the carrying out of his guru's order, and his return to India and constructing big temples was his own idea. It was an addition to the order to write books. Constructing temples in India, however, became a major project for Srila Prabhupada. He devised a system where fifty percent of the profits from selling books went back into printing more books and fifty percent of the profits went to temple construction in India. Thus he began his tremendous endeavors of building major mandiras in Vrndavana, Mayapur and Bombay. He said that if he advertised that Swami Bhaktivedanta was lecturing under a tree, no one would come, but people would flock to see magnificent architectural cathedrals and Deity worship. It was to attract the common men and women that he constructed the temples, and also to give his worldwide students places of inspiration to worship in the holy dhamas of India. Thus with his own institution he completed the order of Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Thakura and printed books and constructed beautiful mandiras in India and elsewhere in the world.

H.H. Satsvarupa das Goswami: No Poem But Nothing

www.sdgonline.org. SDGonline Daily updates

If you want to write about
Krishna, it's impossible because
He's great and you're nothing.
Or some say He is formless so
you can't write about Him,
He is aprakata, beyond, unknown.

But some say even a little chump
could write some lines of praise if
he keeps it simple and sincere.
He could say, "God, I thank You
for giving me life and a
chance to get out of the
cycle of birth and death."

H.H. Satsvarupa das Goswami: Patel's Corner Shop

www.sdgonline.org. SDGonline Daily updates

Free write

Patel's Corner Shop contains sundry items, rare Indian spices and Ayurvedic medicines. It's located in an Indian city or a Hindu neighborhood in the UK, I don't know which. Mr. Patel is a life member of ISKCON, and his son is a serious devotee who is about to get married to another serious devotee. Mr. Patel is worried that his son may become a fulltime "Hare Krishna" and not take over the responsibilities for the store. But the son will have to get some job. He is thinking of going back to college to get a degree in computer science and get a better job than running his father's store. Mr. Patel has two other sons who are not such serious devotees and a not so serious daughter and he is counting on them to run the store.

Mr. Patel's serious son and to-be daughter-in-law want to get initiated, and they are already aspiring to approach a spiritual master with whom they have a relationship. They are both chanting sixteen rounds, and they are keeping their relationship chaste by following the four rules, including no illicit sex. Mr. Patel doesn't mind losing one son to Hare Krishna as long as the others stay to run the store, and as long as his serious son gets a decent job. There is a danger that by associating with his serious son, the other offspring may get serious too and give up their responsibilities to Patel's Corner Shop. This keeps Mr. Patel awake at night sometimes. He tries to keep the serious son from influencing the non-serious ones. He is a fairly pious Hindu but is definitely on the karma-kandiya path and is more devoted to Patel's Corner Shop than to Krishna, the Supreme Personality of Godhead. Time will tell what happens to the family and to the shop. The people involved all have their minute free will, and maya and Krishna are open to them.

I've chanted over twelve rounds so far. My mind is not sharply focused on the yugala-mantra or on the simple "just hear" for­mula. But I am accumulating rounds at a decent pace and hope I won't forget to say my full sixteen as I might have done yes­terday. The chief agent smiled to see me walking with a limp this morning.

A GREAT DAY IN ITALY

Villaggio Hare Krishna, Italy

The jasmine fragrance always manages to pierce through darkness.

At 3 AM I began walking a two square block of horses and each time I hit a corner near the home of friend, Madhu Sevita, the power of the flower struck me. Here in Europe I find no skunks to contend with, or poison ivy. But what will confront me? This village, Villaggio Hare Krishna, a mere hour drive from the heart of Milano, must qualify itself for being part of the material world. Some duality must exist here. So far it is too much like heaven.

Ah yes! There it is! Humidity! I know there had to be something that was pesky. Well I found it. Rather it found me.

Anyways this early trek plus a second trek encomposing a wider range of homes in the village gave me a tally of 11 km. Three other monks, Swami Gopal Krishna, Janardan and Rudradev were walking friends for part two.

While I'm in Italy I take Madhu Sevita as my boss.

As my sponsor he dictates my moves. We did sit down together and worked out my schedale two days in the Florence area, two in Rome and the balance would be in the Milano area. I happily consented to the four hour bus ride to Florence for their annual Ratha Yatra. The drive went well until two of the passengers were discovered missing. The bus driver pulled over on the auto strada and waited for those two to catch up. They had to walk the distance. The only alternative was for us to go a forty KM stretch ahead at the first possibile exit and go back and fetch them at the rest stop. That, the driver wasn't prepared to do. So walking was compulsory for them as was our waiting. Deep inside I was happy for them. Walking is superior to waiting.

The procession of Ratha Yatra happened along the Arno River in a park near Florence's centre. For me it was a great introduction of bhakti (devotion) in the land of Italy.

11 KM
