krsna Posted June 30, 2005 Report Share Posted June 30, 2005 Srimad Bhagawatam , Canto 1 - chapter 8 - verse 25 "I wish that all those calamities would happen again and again so that we could see You again and again, for seeing You means that we will no longer see repeated births and deaths." excerpts from Srila Prabhupada's purport : "Generally the distressed, the needy, the intelligent and the inquisitive, who have performed some pious activities, worship or begin to worship the Lord. Others, who are thriving on misdeeds only, regardless of status, cannot approach the Supreme due to being mislead by the illusory energy. Therefore , for a pious person, if there is some calamity there is no alternative than to take take shelter of the lotus feet of the Lord. Constantly remembering the lotus feet of the Lord means preparing for liberation from birth and death. Therefore, even though there are so-called calamities, they are welcome because they give us an opportunity to remember the Lord, which means liberation..."

krsna Posted June 30, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 30, 2005 S.B. 9.4.62 () "O infallible, unlimited Lord, protector of the entire universe, You are the only desirable objective for all devotees. I am a great offender, my Lord. Please give me protection. O my Lord , O supreme controller, without knowledge of Your unlimited prowess I have offended Your most dear devotee. Very kindly save me from the reaction of this offense. You can do everything, for even if a person is fit for going to hell, You can deliver him simply by awakening within his heart the Holy Name of Your Lordship."

krsna Posted July 3, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 3, 2005 5) O Gopinatha, this sinner , who is weeping and weeping, begs for an eternal place at Your divine feet. Please give him Your mercy. 6) O Gopinath, You are able to do anything and therefore You have the power to deliver all sinners. Whi is there that is more of a sinner than myself? 7) O Gopinath, You are the ocean of mercy. Having come into this phenomenal world, You expand Your divine pastimes for the sake of the fallen souls. 8) O Gopinath, I am so sinful that although all the demons attained Your lotus feet, Bhaktivinode has remained in worldly existence.

AncientMariner Posted July 3, 2005 Report Share Posted July 3, 2005 Prahlada Maharaja asked the Lord if he was going to give him a benediction then take away his material desires which are pretty much the root cause of all sorrows and worries. Consider yourself lucky to be at such an advanced stage. I am stuck still asking the Lord for material stuff which doesn't solve the problems of life.
