[pensamiento-del-dia:742] Entrevista de una revista

PENSAMIENTO DEL DÍA: Entrevista de una revista
 
Enviado desde Sofía, Bulgaria.
 

El 19 de mayo del 2010 fui entrevistado por Krasi Prodanvo, el editor de la revista Usuri de Sofía, una publicación de alternativas espirituales. Fue una entrevista agradable. El Señor Pradanvo es un suscriptor a nuestro curso electrónico y estuvo muy interesado en la cultura Védica y como puede esta tener un efecto positivo  que eleva el espíritu a la civilización moderna de hoy en día. Él apreció la naturaleza multifacética de la cultura Védica, y cuando preguntó sobre cómo uno puede entrar en la cultura Védica le expliqué que el método es aceptar a un maestro espiritual. En la civilización Védica todos  los miembros de la clase superior de la sociedad aceptaron un maestro espiritual para guiarlos en el sendero de la perfección espiritual.

RESPUESTAS DE ACUERDO A LA VERSIÓN VÉDICA:

Pregunta: ¿Seguir a Krishna o ser compasivo?
 

Un devoto es una persona que sigue y trata de poner en práctica las órdenes del Señor Krishna. A veces puede parecer como si estuviera siendo compasivo, pero verdaderamente él está tan solo siguiendo las órdenes del Señor Krishna. Por ejemplo, Arjuna no fue compasivo en la guerra. Entonces ¿Qué es más compasivo: ser compasivo o seguir las órdenes del Señor Krishna? 

N. Bansal

Respuesta: Seguir a Krishna es la compasión Suprema
 

Si uno se asocia constantemente con la Suprema Personalidad Compasiva de Dios al seguir siempre Sus instrucciones, por el poder de Su divina asociación todas las cualidades  compasivas naturalmente se manifestarán dentro del corazón de uno. Así que actuando como un agente del Compasivo Señor Supremo lo hace a uno supremamente compasivo. 

Mientras que desde el punto de vista material Arjuna  no parece ser compasivo por matar a los soldados enemigos en el campo de batalla, desde el punto de vista espiritual su matanza fue la más grande compasión porque alguien que es matado en la presencia de Krishna obtiene al instante la  liberación espiritual. Por supuesto, esto no justifica matar a nadie en el nombre de Dios. Arjuna estuvo en la presencia de Krishna y fue directamente ordenado por Él para ocuparse en su deber constitucional como un guerrero. 

Entonces la respuesta a tu pregunta es que no hay diferencia entre ser compasivo y seguir las órdenes del Señor Krishna. No hay alguien más compasivo que uno que sigue las órdenes del Señor.

Ekendra dasa, AU: Bhaja Hu Re Mana

Bhaja Hu Re Mana

This recording of Bhaja Hu Re Mana ("Oh Mind, Please Worship Nanda Nandana"), is a traditional Gaudiya bhajan originally written by Govinda Dasa Kaviraja at some time in the late 17th century. Traditionally it is sung in Raga Bhairavi in Tintal but here is a contemporary version.

Arrangement: Mohini Murti Devi Dasi and Ekendra Dasa
Lead Vocals: Ekendra Dasa
Response Vocals: Malika Des Fours, Amber McRae, Mohini Murti Devi Dasi, Seva Kunja Devi Dasi
Editing, Producing: Ekendra Dasa
Recorded at Go-run-gaa Studios, ISKCON New Govardhana, Australia

LYRICS:

bhajahū re mana śrī-nanda-nandana
abhaya-caraṇāravinda re
durlabha mānava-janama sat-sańge
taroho e bhava-sindhu re

śīta ātapa bāta bariṣaṇa
e dina jāminī jāgi re
biphale sevinu kṛpaṇa durajana
capala sukha-laba lāgi' re

e dhana, yaubana, putra, parijana
ithe ki āche paratīti re
kamala-dala-jala, jīvana ṭalamala
bhajahū hari-pada nīti re

śravaṇa, kīrtana, smaraṇa, vandana,
pāda-sevana, dāsya re
pūjana, sakhī-jana, ātma-nivedana
govinda-dāsa-abhilāṣa re

Translation:

1) O mind just worship the lotus feet of the son of Nanda, which make one fearless. Having obtained this rare human birth, cross over this ocean of worldly existence through the association of saintly persons.

2) Both in the day and at night I remain sleepless, suffering the pains of the heat and cold, the wind and the rain. For a fraction of flickering happiness I have uselessly served wicked and miserly men.

3) What assurance of real happiness is there in all of one's wealth, youthfulness, sons, and family members? This life is tottering like a drop of water on a lotus petal; therefore you should always serve and worship the divine feet of Lord Hari.

4) It is the desire and great longing of Govinda Dasa to engage himself in the nine processes of bhakti, namely hearing the glories of Lord Hari and chanting those glories, constantly remembering Him and offering prayers to Him, serving the Lord's lotus feet, serving the Supreme Lord as a servant, worshiping Him with flowers and incense and so forth, serving Him as a friend, and completely offering the Lord one's very self.

H.H. Satsvarupa das Goswami: '442' from The Yellow Submarine

www.sdgonline.org. SDGonline Daily updates

4:01 A.M.

I got out of bed at 2 AM and began chanting. My chanting was slow and I have completed twelve rounds. I chanted in my mind and did not go deep into love of Krishna. It was more an automatic performance like a daily exercise you do just because you did it yesterday and you do it everyday. Chanting should be more urgent and the in the moment that you are doing it with all feelings centered on the yajna. Chanted as in a military thrill, without sleepiness or slackness, but without tenderness and prayer. At least I have got most of my quota done and will try to improve on the last part when I do them after writing.

Japa in a factory
of the mind, chanting
like a laborer.
He doesn't time
the mantras and feels
they are coming slow
and lethargic without
a heart's desire.
The count mounts steadily
but without embrace.
Why do you have to
make such a poor
report on yourself?
Is it really that bad?
To be truthful you
write a poem about
admitting the lacking
in love. But you know
you are trying to
improve. You are
counting and pronouncing
and never giving up.
At this rate, things
don't look so well
but you are faithful
to make effort every day
without fail.

H.H. Satsvarupa das Goswami: 'He Lives With Us' from The Yellow Submarine

www.sdgonline.org. SDGonline Daily updates

Prabhupada smaranam


Prabhupada and the audience appear to be watching something like a dramatic presentation, perhaps on the occasion of the opening of the Krishna Balarama Mandir in Vrindavana. Prabhupada looks pleased, absorbed in the presentation, and at ease. It is a grand occasion and he is enjoying himself. He is surrounded by dignitaries and disciples. He looks in good heath. Prabhupada and his disciples are responsible for the successful installation of the deities, but Prabhupada does not look concerned or worried at the moment. In a childlike way he is caught up in the entertainment being played before his eyes.

They have bought almost all the flowers available in the market and the temple is strung with garlands. The crowds have gathered in the temple all day. There have been many yanjic ceremonies conducted by the caste Goswamis accompanied by Srila Prabhupada and the devotees doing kirtana. A big feast has been prepared.

Prabhupada listened to a eulogy speech by his god brother Dr. O.B.L. Kapoor. Sometimes these speeches get tedious when there are so many of them and when they are long. Prabhupada's disciples sit and endure them wishing they were more praiseworthy, without a tinge of envy and wholeheartedly surrendered to Prabhupada.

H.H. Satsvarupa das Goswami: 'Things to Do in The Yellow Submarine' from The Yellow Submarine

www.sdgonline.org. SDGonline Daily updates

1.

We finished reading a book
on Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati
by a PhD devotee. Much of it
was hard to understand. But
Bhaktisiddhanta was a champion.

This afternoon Gunagrahi Maharaja is
visiting for an hour of reading in
Srila Prabhupada's Bhagavatam.
He is another champion. Not so
difficult to read.

Both gurus uphold Krishna as
the Supreme Personality of Godhead.
You could draw a picture of Bhaktisiddhanta
but it shouldn't look like
a caricature.

A cop and a bad man both
draw their guns. The bad guy
shot first. He killed himself.
He was the chief witness
for the prosecution. I
turned off the TV.

I'm getting a headache but I want to write
a poem about Krishna. We don't want the
bad guys to escape and
go free. Krishna kills
all the bad guys in His
lilas. No one gets spared unless
He wants them to.
Some of their souls
merge into His body.
That happened with
Bakasura and
Sisupala.

The women agents
have to be careful
they don't get shot.
They are not so strong
without a gun,
although some know
hand techniques of
martial arts.

Krishna beheaded the washer man
with His hand. As
Rama, He killed Ravana
with an arrow, such
as the Navi woman shot
the army colonel in "Avatar", the two big
arrows in the chest. He was
a villain plundering
the energy or the innocent
natives of Pandora. They conquered the
US army with their animals
and mystic force.

My mind is wandering and I
will have to take pills for
the pain. I pray I will be
able to complete my writing
of the journal in a decent
way. It doesn't have to
be strictly coherent, but
there should be love and
tenderness for Prabhupada,
sincerely felt, and then
a free write can go anywhere
it wants to take you as
long as you steer it to
Krishna, steer it with a
broken shoulder bone.

They will test your heart
for stress and you expect
you'll pass the exam and
move to New York. He
has given us a deadline
of July 4th.

I like to ride the
waves in writing. I like the world
poets, the ancient
Chinese and American
Gary Snyder who
wrote lists of "Things
to Do" in San Francisco
and Kyoto and Portland
and other places. They
were inventive playful
poems.

2.

Things to do in the Yellow
Submarine.
Take medicine for headache.
Sit back and rest in chair.
Recover and finish your writing.
Take a long nap.
Read with a friend.
Put on vaisnava tilaka after
you finish your sweaty
after lunch walk.
Wear yogi pants.
Keep grabbing your long
sikha and smoothing it
out.
End the poem soon and take
the medicine, don't delay.
Finish four rounds.
Eat at least some of your
breakfast although you don't
care much for it.
Pray to Krishna if you can.
Do you know how to pray?

H.H. Satsvarupa das Goswami: 'Hare Krishna and The Doomsday' from The Yellow Submarine

www.sdgonline.org. SDGonline Daily updates

Free write

This is a clip taken from the cartoon series "The Simpsons". You can see Mrs. Simpsons with her ridiculous tall purple hairdo in the audience along with her yellow faced husband, Mr. Simpson. They appear to be among members of a religious cult who have gathered on a mountain top to observe the end of the world. The cult speaker is addressing them from an altar and behind him is a giant portrait of their cult leader. Actual sects such as the Jehovah Witnesses and others have predicted exact dates for the end of the world but the date came and the world didn't end. The believers adjusted their calendars and in some cases came up with new dates for the end of the world which also came and went. Before the arrival of the new millennium, the year 2000, there was wide spread propaganda, called Y2K, that when the year 2000 arrived, civilization would break down. People were advised to stock up on nonperishable food items and have guns on hand for the looting that would break out when governments collapsed. But Y2K proved to be a colossal hoax as the year January 1st 2000 was ushered in without havoc.

The Gaudiya Vaisnava calendar does not have a soon-to-come doomsday. But it does predict that we are already in the worst of four time epochs or yugas. We are living five thousand years into kali-yuga, the age of quarrel and hypocrisy. Over five thousand years ago it was predicted that in kali-yuga the governments would be led by unqualified leaders and that a host of anomalies would appear. For example we are experiencing world wide support of animal killing, illicit sex, intoxication and gambling, which are the four principle sinful activities in human society. These sinful acts bring on karma or reaction from nature, and so we see a rise in warfare, crime, immorality and natural disasters. There is a chance for change or reform from these sinful activities within the next ten thousand years. This is a golden age in which the people can take up the example of Lord Caitanya's sankirtana movement to avert disaster. If humanity does not heed the ill omens of kali-yuga and give up sinful activities, then after ten thousand years there will be no chance for reform by peaceful preaching of the sankirtana movement. Kali-yuga lasts 432,

 000 years but with the latter part of it, comes the appearance of the Kalki Avatar who annihilates the majority of the population who will by then have become asuras or demoniac, incapable of reforming by the process of chanting and hearing the glories of the Lord. The Kalki avatar will ride a white horse and carry a sword with which He will kill the demoniac population. This is not a crackpot or man made prediction for "the end of the world" but the reading of an infallible Vedic scripture. Aside from the downfall of the civilization after ten thousand years, we each face the inevitable downfall of our life in a present body, which lasst, at most, one hundred years. We all have to die and we all have to be reborn – in the species of life that suits how we have behaved in this lifetime. Even a life in the mode of material goodness brings us only another human body, another lifetime facing the sufferings of birth, death, disease and old age. And life in kali-yuga gets increasingly risky as conditions worsen in the age of quarrel. An intelligent human being should work to break the cycle of transmigration, by devotional service to the Lord, Sri Krishna, and not have to be born again at the time of death but transformed to the spiritual world, full of knowledge and bliss. We can all avoid the scare of "the end of the world" by embracing Krishna consciousness.

Bharatavarsa.net: Bhakti Vikasa Swami: very important verse(s) that Srila Prabhupada recommended to learn

In the Brahma-vaivarta Purana it is said:

asitim caturas caiva laksams tan jiva-jatisu bhramadbhih purusaih prapyam manusyam janma-paryayat tad apy abhalatam jatah tesam atmabhimaninam varakanam anasritya govinda-carana-dvayam

Prabhupada: Hm. This is very important verse. You can repeat this. One may take it by heart.

>>> Ref. VedaBase => Srimad-Bhagavatam 2.3.19 -- Los Angeles, June 15, 1972

Translation: One attains the human form of life after transmigrating through 8,400,000 species by the process of gradual evolution. That human life is spoiled for those conceited fools who do not take shelter of the lotus feet of Govinda.

Bharatavarsa.net: Book distribution seminar: a rare occurance

I was distributing at Fullerton College in Southern California recently when a student came to my table. I showed him the illustrations in the Bhagavad-gita and explained them to him. He was interested but not enough to take the book.

The next day he came to my table again. He said, "Last night when I went home I told my father about the book you showed me, somehow I was able to explain what you showed me in the illustrations. After I told him about the book he became a little upset with me because I didn't get it. He said to me, "If you see him there tomorrow get the book, it sounds very interesting." So it's a good thing you're here today, I'd like to get it now."

Here's a rare example in Kali yuga of a father giving good guidance to his son.

Madhava Ghosh dasa, New Vrndavan, USA: Famous Folks Launched Careers After 50

From CNN Living

President Ronald Reagan was an actor and wasn’t elected to public office until he was 55.

Sadly, the down economy has put a lot of workers over age 50 in the unenviable position of needing to find a new profession. Don’t believe that old cliché about middle-aged dogs and new tricks, though; lots of wildly successful people found big success in careers they began after their fiftieth birthdays.

Here are just a few examples…

7. A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada

The founder of the Hare Krishna movement was 69 years old before he started the International Society for Krishna Consciousness.

In his native India, Prabhupada had been a chemist and a Sanskrit scholar in Calcutta, but in 1965 he came to New York City with just fifty bucks, a pair of cymbals, and a desire to spread the teachings of Lord Krishna.

Prabhupada got off to a modest start by sitting on a sidewalk in the East Village and chanting, but by the time of his death in 1977 his legions of followers were rumored to be thousands strong…
