I firmly believe in these words of My spiritual master

[Govindaram]

 

CC:Adi.7.95-96

 

"I firmly believe in these words of My spiritual master, and therefore I always chant the holy name of the Lord, alone and in the association of devotees. That holy name of Lord Krsna sometimes causes Me to chant and dance, and therefore I chant and dance. Please do not think that I intentionally do it. I do it automatically."

PURPORT

 

A person who cannot keep his faith in the words of his spiritual master but acts independently never receives the authority to chant the holy name of the Lord. It is said in the Vedas

 

"Only unto those great souls who have implicit faith in both the Lord and the spiritual master are all the imports of Vedic knowledge automatically revealed." This Vedic injunction is very important...

FOLLOWING the Sri Guru

 

That's it

hang onto the Guru's instructions

As It Is

Without adding

substracting

or deliberating

He speaks directly :

Those who are straight

not crooked

duplicious

or conniving

 

My life molded to conform to Sri Guru's words

my life and soul

I live Guru's Vani

My very breath

life and soul

 

Without them-

I'm asat,

a dead man walking

Apparently serving,

But inside a zombie,a guru aparadhi

who has turned his back on Guru's mercy.

Hare Krishna

 

I would like to add,

 

do not also blaspheme devotees while calling yourself a prabhupadanuga or any other GURU, doing aparadha in the name of Prabhupada is the greatest offence.

[krsna]

The heart of a Vaisnava is as soft as a rose

whereas the heart of a mayavadi

is as hard as a thunderbolt.

Let us pray at the lotus feet of Thakura Bhktivinoda

that by Sri Gouranga's mercy

our hearts melt in ecstatic love of God.

----------

Saranagati Bhajan:

 

Both the monist philosophers

and those bewildered by worldly affairs

live in vain,

for both are devoid of devotion to You.

 

I pray at Your lotus feet, O Lord,

that I may be spared the company of them both.

 

Yet of the two the worldly man is better.

I ask never to have the company of mayavadi.

 

When the worldly man enters

into the company of saintly persons

within his heart he becomes inspiried

by pure devotion

through the mercy of those devotees.

 

But woe to him who has known

the offensive presence of impersonalist philosophy.

Such sophistry makes the heart hard as a thunderbolt .

 

The mayavada philosopher

declares that the true form of bhakti,

its object (Sri Krishna),

and its possessor (the devotee)

are all transitory and thus illusory.

 

Fie on his pretense of service to Krishna,

of hearing and chanting His glories!

His so-called prayers strike the body of Krishna

with blows more cruel that a thunderbolt.

 

There is no philosophy as antagonistic

to devotional service as mayavada philosophy.

Therefore I do not desire the association of the mayavadi.

 

Bhaktivinoda drives away the philosophy of illusionism

and sits safely in the society of Vaisnavas

under the shelter of the holy name.

Translation

 

O Lord Hari,

having fallen helplessly into the illusion of this world,

I see no other means of deliverance but You.

You are the only recourse for the helpless.

I accept the shelter of Your lotus feet as essential.

 

I have no knowledge,

no background of pious activities,

nor any history of strict devotional practice.

But You are full of compassion and kindness.

Therefore,

although I am certainly destitute,

I solicit Your causeless mercy.

 

The powerful urges of speech,

mind, anger, tongue, belly, and genital

have banded together to cast me adrift

on the sea of this material world,

thus causing me great anxiety and trouble.

 

After great endeavor

to subdue these material demands,

I have completely given up all hope.

O Lord of the destitute,

I call upon Your holy name,

for now You are my only shelter.

 

(2) 1-2.Hari he!

apama dosate mori

ekhona ki kori, hari!

 

4.ami to’ patita, patita-pabana,

Translation

 

O Lord Hari,

I have become absorbed

in accumulating wealth

and endeavoring for material possessions.

I am addicted to speaking of topics apart from You

and am always eager to accept practices

apart from my own duties.

I am in the habit of meeting with worldly men

and am absorbed in speculative thinking.

Therefore, devotion to You has remained distant from me. In this heart of mine dwells only envy

and malice towards others

false pride, hippocrisy, deceitfulness,

and the desire for fame and honor.

 

I have not been able

to give up any of these attachments.

Thus my own faults have been my down fall.

My birth as a human being has been wasted.

O Lord Hari, what am I to do now?

 

I am indeed fallen;

but Your holy name is the savior of the fallen.

Clinging to that holy name,

I have taken shelter at Your lotus feet.

[krsna]

A Vaisnava is one who is thinking as follows;

In this world, or

In any other,

In every situation,

Hari is the refuge.

 

In pain and loss

in sin and in fear,

in the obtainment of the object of desire,

in anger towards other bhaktas-

in the absence of devotion,

in conflict with bhaktas-

in the powerless state,

as well as in the position of power-

in every condition remember that

Hari is the refuge.

 

(From Srimad Vallabhacarya's WISDOM, PERSEVERANCE AND REFUGE - Viveka-Dhairaya-Ashraya)

 

[krsna]

Firm unshakeable faith in Sri Guru's words

Why?

Because in reality they are Sri Krishna's words

Dismiss them and you're dismissing Krishna Himself.

Krishna comes as Guru to deliver you

So Sri Guru's vani is sacred,

the lifeline droped down to the jiva from Krsnaloka.

Hold on tight

and He'll pull you up.

Don't let go!!!

Yes if we believe words guru - Srila Prabhupada, then all rigth.

 

But...Srila Prabhupada uttama, then He is teach - all sraddha, all reason. It is uttama, not one sraddha. One sraddha it is nit perfection.
