Guest guest Posted August 30, 2002 Report Share Posted August 30, 2002 22- August-2000 SHANKARAM SHIVA SHANKARAM!!!!!!!Baba's speech... Today, is KRISHNA JAYANTHI, JANMASTHAMI, the birthday of our MOST BELOVED God-Krishna.Baby Krishna born to Vasudeva & Devaki in jail & brought up by Nanda & Yashoda in Vrindavana. The Lord, out of his causeless mercy,descends to this material world & displays his activities just like an ordinary man. KRISHNA is the supreme soul present in everyone's heart.He is the cause for Remembrance & Forgetfulness.KRISHNA is transcendental to all material qualities.KRISHNA has 6 opulances, COMPLETE WEALTH,STRENGTH,FAME,KNOWLEDGE,BEAUTY & RENUNCIATION. KRISHNA is so called,since HE is ALL-ATTRACTIVE!!! KRISHNA is MUKUNDA ,which refers to his EVER SMILING FACE. , SHYAMSUNDARA - because of his TRANSCENDAL BEAUTY., GIRIDHARI- because he lifted the govardhana Hill. The pure devotee surrenders himself unto the lotus feet of the Lord,in the soul level.The Lord also feels transcendental pleasure by submitting himself to the protection of the devotee. IT IS THE JEEVATHMA MERGING WITH THE PARAMATHMA. Krishna likes Thulasi Leaves & Buds. & always garlanded with Flowers. The devotees remain affedtionately attached to the Lord.They can meet all kinds of obstacles on the path of Devotional Service & freely without any fear, they can surmount such obstacles.Because of their unconditional surrender,KRISHNA always protects them & reciprocates their continuous ecstatic Love for him. KRISHNA understands their deep Love, desire & Longing of his devotees & fulfills them at the appropriate time,according to their loving propensities, in various relationships,be it father,mother,son,friend,lover... He makes them yearn & long for his Love,pushing them to the point of tears. Here,I am talking of devotees who are Miles & Miles Apart & who Long for the Lord's Divine presence.This is the Love for Krishna in feelings of Separation, by constantly thinking of the Lord, which is the highest perfectional level. The pure Devotees of KRISHNA have no desire,but to be associated with KRISHNA,. KRISHNA being very kind to his devotees,fulfills their desires.Because they want KRISHNA'S association,The Lord is always prepared to give it to them.The devotees of KRISHNA are also Spontaneous Lovers.They are not required to strictly follow regulative principles,because they are already naturally developed in TRANCENDENTAL LOVE FOR KRISHNA. Regulative Principles ar required for persons who have not achieved ,such a position of SPONTANEOUS LOVE. Pure Devotess render SERVICE SPONTANEOUSLY engaging all natural instincts in KRISHNA's LOVING SERVICE,Irrespective of the fact, whether KRISHNA is amidst them or out on some Mission., by always remembering him in their Hearts & Service dedicting to the Lord. Devotees LOVE KRISHNA more than they LOVE their own parents, kith & kin. KRISHNA cannot be understood by NON-Devotees,because there is a curtain of YOGAMAYA,which covers KRISHNA's features. KRISHNA SAYS " I AM NOT EXPOSED TO ANYONE & EVERYONE " Of what use are persons, who are puffed up with material opulence & prestige,if they are befreft of the Association of Saintly Persons & Devotees of the Supreme Lord????????? One can go thinking & hearing about the all Attractive Lord & never feel tired, but remain fresh & eager to hear MORE & MORE.................. SURRENDER unto the the SUPREME LORD with BODY,MIND & SOUL be always transcendentally engaged in his Service,performing your material activities.,by ALWAYS REMEMBERING THE LORD IN YOUR HEART & trancendentally Immersed in the LOVE of KRISHNA. DISTANCE & TIME HAS NO BOUNDS,SINCE HE IS ALREADY PRESENT IN YOUR HEART. KRISHNA'S LOVE & BLESSINGS TO YOU, ON THIS AUSPICIOUS OCCASSION!!!!!!!! ________ Give your Company an email address like ravi @ ravi-exports.com. Sign up for Rediffmail Pro today!
