Guest guest Posted April 20, 2001 Report Share Posted April 20, 2001 Dear vaisnava's please accept my humble obeisances; all glories to our Gurumaharaja and Srila Prabhupada. Pure Bhakti: Bhakti means to serve Krsna. That is without any purpose. Ahaituky apratihata. That bhakti, unalloyed... Anyabhilasita-sunyam jnana-karmady-anavrtam. Everywhere this is the statement of the sastra,that bhakti should be unalloyed(aprthak-dharma). "One can attain to the highest perfection of life simply by attentive hearing of the transcendental pastimes of the Lord from the right sources..."Srila Prabhupada" anyabhilasita-sunyam jnana karmady-anavrtam anukulyena krsnanu- silanam bhaktir uttama sarvopadhi-vinirmuktam tat paratvena nirmalam hrsikena hrsikesa sevanam bhaktir ucyate There are so many other definition. And if we have bhakti, love for Krsna, then we don't require huge amount of money or strength or education or austerity. Nothing of the sort. Krsna says, patram puspam phalam toyam yo me bhaktya prayacchati. **This is bhakti-marga, devotional service, to become very humble, meek, always pray to Krsna, "Kindly consider me as one of the particle of the dust of the lotus feet of Your Lordship," this very simple thing. Man-mana. In this way think of Krsna, become His devotee, offer obeisances and whatever patram puspam, little flower, water, you can provide, offer to Krsna. In this way live very peacefully and be happy. By HDG A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada Ys. vd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
