Jai om Vishnupad Srila Bhakti Rakshak Shridhar Dev Goswami

Maharaj, ki jai. Srila Prabhupad, ki jai. By their Divine Grace,

again I have got this opportunity to preach something.

Mahaprabhu said life is for hearing and chanting. Give your

hearing for Krsna katha, and sing about Sri Krsna.

 

Life is uncertain we can understand. It is very easy to understand

because many types of unfavorable circumstances are coming

in our lives. At present, I am within this physical form. I am

thinking I will not live much longer. Still I'm alive, but what for, that

is the question? The answer is: for preaching Krsna

Consciousness. Again, maybe a little opportunity I have got. In

the Sanskrit dictionary it is told that the cloudy day is a bad day

for us. But Srimad Bhagavatam said the day we cannot speak

about Krsna Consciousness, the day we cannot hear about

Krsna Consciousness, that day is very bad for us.

 

A good day I have got today by your grace. My presentation to the

devotees is again the Krsna conception. Krsna is the Supreme

Personality of Godhead, everyone knows that. Now all over the

world, Krsna Consciousness has been spread. I am maybe one

of the tiny instruments of that. Krsna is still taking my service, it is

my good fortune. Then this day is a very good day for me I feel.

Hearing the Krsna conception, Krsna katha, that is life. Life and

soul you may say.

 

If we cannot speak about God, cannot speak about Lord Krsna,

our life is useless. Time has much value no doubt, but in this

material world, what value is time if we cannot use it properly? It

is very good to hear about, to speak about, and to serve Lord

Krsna. How will this come to us?

 

In this material world death and birth are very normal and

natural. After we are born, we must die. In my situation I am at

every moment waiting for death. But Krsna has given me another

chance for preaching about His Divine Pastimes.

 

Our body, our mind, our thinking power, everything when going

with glorification to God's lotus feet, then by His grace we will get

all good nourishment. He is our protector. He is our friend. He is

our master. He is our father, mother, and lover. When we

understand this our dedication will be more secure, and then

any circumstance may come in front of us and we will not be

disturbed.

 

At present in this world, I have already gotten a practicing chance

for many years, over 50 years. That was with Guru Maharaj and

is with Guru Maharaj. Guru Maharaj is always helping us in our

practicing life. If we can properly understand that, then we have

no fear of death. And after that, we must get a good chance. I

have no doubt.

 

I may be bad, but my associates, my friends circle, my

worshipable Vaisnavas, are all giving their well wishes to me.

Then I am fearless for my future, fearless of any disturbance that

will come. It is my good chance to come in life again to say to all

my friends - be surrendered; make your dedication strong. Then

by your activity, your future life will be more beautiful by the grace

of Guru-Gauranga.

 

At this time I cannot speak anymore, but it is admitted that even

a little opportunity to engage in Krsna katha makes for a

successful life.

 

Fear is coming from attachment with this material world. When

we hear the glorification of the Lord, fear will go out from us.

 

My dandavat pranams and blessings to all my worshipable

friends. Again, I shall try to speak something another day.

 

Jaya Srila Guru Maharaj.
