Become a Krishna-Bhakta and be Happy for Ever !!!

June 30, 2008

Hare Krishna ! Dandavat Pranams to Sree Krishna and Vaishnavas ,

This age of deterioration ( Kali-yuga) is very tricky . People are addicted with never ending Material Desires and short lived Pleasures . A rich man envies Mukesh Ambani and desires to overtake him . And one with a loyal wife feels sad when he sees a more beautiful woman . Even God can not satisfy such a man's "Material Desires" . A "Material-Addict" has no time for genuine "Bhakti-Yoga " . Very often, greed takes him to the trap of fake "Human Gods".

On the other hand , a Krishna-Bhakta is satisfied with his life . Bhagavan has blessed him with a life-style according to his "Karma" ( deeds of the past) . Any suffering he undergoes is only the result of his past Karma . His daily "sadhana" to the "Ishta-Deva" automatically fulfils all his necessities .

There is a propaganda that, Sree Krishna always tests His devotees with sufferings . This is nonsense . On the contrary , Bhaktavalsala purifies the ill-effects of His Bhakta's "Bad Karma" with just a " token atonement " . And blesses with Bhakti , Bliss and Mukti .

Vilwamanagalam's Experience

Vilwamangalam Swamiyar was a pure Krishna-Bhakta . Having been pleased by his bhakti-yoga , Krishna bestowed Vilwamangalam a boon to appear during his pooja .

Once, Vilwamangalam started experiencing a minor Stomach-ache and it continued even after taking rest . So, next day during the Pooja , Vilwamangalam informed Krishna about his illness and requested to cure it . Bhagavan listened but did not reply. Same thing repeated the next day.

A disappointed Vilwamangalm consulted Sri. Moose , the 'Ashta-vaidya' ( Ayurvedic Yogi ) and explained the situation in detail . Having taken this as a challenge, Moose prepared a rare "Sidha- medicine" . It successfully cured the illness within a day .

Next day, when Krishna appeared to accept the Pooja, an overjoyed Vilwamangalam informed about the successful curing of his illness by Moose .

Bhagavan replied sadly " Your pain was the result of your "Prarabda" ( Karmic effects) of previous births . I had transformed it all to a minor pain for qualifying you to Vaikuntam in this birth itself. By taking such a short-cut , you have now extended your life to (3) more births . "

Krishna advises in Gita 2.3 : "The non-permanent appearance of happiness and distress, and their disappearance in due course are like the occurrence of winter and summer seasons . They arise from sense perceptions and one must learn to tolerate them without being disturbed".

Krishna-Bhakta's sufferings are very much temporary . Sree Krishna never ever lets down any one who surrenders at His feet .

True indeed, well said.

Lord Krishna quickly ends our material suffering by providing us the

knowledge, but we have to make efforts to develop Krishna

Consciousness earnestly, or like a weak sapling it can be covered

again by the weeds of ignorance. Three actions must never be given

up: Japam(chanting Harinaam incessently),Dhyanam(keeping the mind

focussed on the Lord's form),Daanam(Charity to the needy).

namo narayana

Respected devotee of Lord Sri Krishna,

Thank you for your very informative emails, I always find it very useful to read them to increase my devotion to the Lord.

However I want to ask you a specific question, so in this email you mentioned that Sri Vilvamangalam swamiyar ruined his chance of going to Sri Vaikuntam in this life, by resorting to the physician?

I am quite confused by this, although I do realize that Lord Sri Vishnu is the ultimate bhakthavatasala why will he object if His devotees find some cure (isnt the cure also Lord Vishnu's benediction) to end their suffering.

I also want to ask does this mean that if we as His devotees get some suffering, then we must not resort to its cure?

I ask this only because I am going through some very tough situations in life and was wondering if Lord Sri Krishna is actually testing me or is it the karmic rewards of my previous actions.

Looking forward to your reply,

Thank you,

Sincerely,

Kamlesh--- On Mon, 6/30/08, srikrishnadasa_rajeev <srikrishnadasa_rajeev wrote:
