Hare krishna reverences the chat is going to start now.
Gurumaharaj is now in Ipiales,Colombia
Dear devotees A good president of temple worth gold,worth diamonds worth all the things that are in this material world a big house do not mean anything if there is no one eager to preach inclusive sometimes devotees make business to increase krishna consiousness or to mantain the temple but if this business is not fully in krishna consiousness they become nests of disharmony and of envy
and even the one that is managing it advanze spiritually and even the one that is managing the temple do not advanze spiritually for this today in the occidental world to mantain a big and nice temple is not east thing you think: Now we will have a small restaurant and you open a boutique or things like that and that's not bad and more than a temple with sane people has worked well we have taken economic progress for example the boutique of Ibague send 10 thousand dollars for the construction of the farm in Varsana and things like this Everything depends on the consciousness of the devotees as they run the thing, but is the leader, but not only the leader in presidency, but the vice president, the treasurer, the accountant, the chief of bhaktas,the receptionist a loving temple really works depending on a group that love each other and makes meetings to discuss any details on where the temple can fail who are always attentive and feel this as a personal concern, this place, this sanctuary to be a refuge for the souls who arrive anyone come to temple and be disappointed, for this the highest moral, the highest transparency,the high quality of lectures inclusive the execution of of sweet kirtans for a temple to be exellent there are many requirements many requirements and this requeriments are our job I travel from temple to temple to remind devotees: hey, what was missing? why there are problems? how we can overcome this ? Who is a little cranky?
For example in the administration there are always people who get cranky better to go and cultivate the earth or something where they can get angry with worms but not to create bad atmosphere, because there are people in this world really cranky. Of course, poor of them , agitated by lust or whatever. they were treat bad as children or whatever invention they have, or whatever apology or excuse they have if they want to explode or show an ugly face to others, it is invalid, one needs to be a kind person and the president who maintains this atmosphere of love is a genius this is what we need and he has to be will to learn always the mayority of us we arrive to krisha consciousness ,no well prepare ,well,someones studied a little the mayority of the devotees or specially in temple management we have to studied in the land of action just there is a saying : is more easy to manage a country than a temple In a country you have a number of employees who suck your socks because you have the money, but in a temple is not so, in a temple you have to inspire everyone not like in India people come to temples, ,wealthy people come and like what one does there and they help paying things and build more things, that's perfectly normal, but here in the West do not have that type of supporters, here you have to earn it better said book by book begging people for a little interested in Krishna consciousness. Sure, in a way is better , because if a rich man comes and gives a big donation and no one goes to preach door to door, there happens to be a beautiful temple, but people do not know and can not get to know Krishna and devotional service This is very important that Prabhupada and Krishna arranged for us in the west, so we really need to get the batteries, that is the process, get the batteries for our temples are sanctuaries We always talk of the land of Krishna, Vrindavan, Vrindavan then is so beautiful, so special, the sacred land of Krishna and Vrindavan every altar is vrindavan sri sri goura nitay is gupta vrindavan,this is mayapur there their lordships are dancing and there is vrindavan too there lord nrimha and srimati radharami are this days we celebrated radhastami there are the deities of gouranga radha vrajesvara this is vrindavan is varsana,is like the sacred land but obviously as a house, it has its restrictions, limitations, as when in a neighborhood we can not sing anything you want because the neighbors start to complain when it gets too loud so in the same spiritual life one has to adapt to make vrindavan in everywhere vrindavan means "land of love" so the temple is vrindavan because is full of love
Love is in the kitchen, in the reception, in isthagostis, in worship, at lectures. That's Vrindavan Land of love. so we have to be loving at he most high degree this is our task the gift that krishna has given to us for me,training leaders is the true porpose in life is more,,for example the grihastas the grihastas are very enmeshed in their family to see how they maintain the home, that's fine, even in your home can make namahatas and preach to purify ,in their homes can make branches of Vrindavan of the loving land of your spirtitual master in other words grihasta ashram ,or it is beter said grihasta brahmacari ashram A sanctuary where we practice it is an ashram, is very nice, a great advantage. Because of this, all our isthagostis, our meetings are designed to encourage us to expand the Krishna consciousness the consciousness of Vrindavan. fo example in popayan,Colombia the house is very luxury ,,imagine how many beautiful temples are ,and if there are meetings,istagostis what blessings for Popayan one maybe can make devotees but you can send devotees to other temples in one way or another one can participate in krishna consciousness beautiful this is the point and what is happening with the others? What about single mothers? Where to go? What about singles with no temple? They will not go to a grihastas house not because they gget no encouragement , no dare, because no association, no challenge. what about our old men and old ladies? Some will come to vrindavanita, or preach, or do something else, but we're going to be anold men and old ladies , what are we going to do? well the sanctuaries and ashrams Of course, these are more austerity, but that austerity is best for you because when one is already old, one will want to stick to a sofa and think,: this means all pay,food,electricity and water, I no longer have to worry about anything. LIES. In the material world the one who are interested in the money behind the money are always always remain so, they are always concerned, in other words where is the money consciousness ? ,always anxiety , there governs anxiety.
Then our task is to encourage people to be loving leaders, you owe it to me, or you owe it to Prabhupada, or you owe it to you or you owe it to your parents and you owe it to people who will live with you because for something to be beautiful and right and loving, that is the maximum degree of responsibility and I do not care how old you are or what your family situation is , i only care how you would like to serve Krishna and how you like to be more kind more loving, because that of being kind and loving is all, everything is included there, all the success of your life comes exactly there, of your degree of desire to be an instrument of the love of Krishna, there's your success. In the material world there is a thing called the best salesman in the world. Once when I was a new devotee, a devotee gave me this book and said "you must read it". I read a few sentences and I realized it was all mundane, but I said "we should understand this spiritually", because in the end the author says that one must be attentive and friendly, nothing more. For a devotee that should be automatic. Being kind and concern, to make people feel they are home, they are Welcome. The devotee does not see the world as customers, the devotee sees the world as devotees, that is called bhakti uttama. The uttama adikary sees all as devotees, all are devotees, all are potential brothers and no one wants to escape. So in this way kindness has it care when we make mistakes at some point or we have bad behavior, we will apologize and we will correct the thing, because in kali yuga many things happen, is very unpredictable what happens, all The days go by different things that one can not imagine them, but all are very important Thus, we are willing to train these leaders, I say this because Mahadeva is going to inject the joy to Medellin or where he walks. Everyone is in that spirit of injecting joy That's your job, that's president job and you do not need to be a president to do this, but the president has to do so and has to keep the doors open to everyone and always be encouraging others to grow spiritually . This is president duty, but you can also go to temple to give more joy and you can go to your president and say, for example "My dear President, I see that here there is something I think you need more help, I help you?"
The president is happy. At least that is assumed. How about a president who is not happy when one helps, that's weird. what will be ? fear of competition?, Fears the devotees to realize that there is another more kind than him Even when there is a receptionist who is grumpy, older devotees should say : "prabhu, so it is not. We love you very much, you have to be attentive and kind to be here at the reception and have to show them the farm and programs "Rather, for each service there is a list of details that makes service excellent ,in the kitchen there is a lot, you need a good result, because if there is not a good spice , nobody will be happy with the kitchen. in the puja, if the altar is not clean,if there is not attention or punctuality is not correct and if in the ashram people is not encourage ,this is very sad in the ashram everybody has to be encourage in life things has to be done correctly this is the spiritual rule, better said,every selfbeing in a community has to feel a dare,a form to make it better one must feel a certain level of nice competition where you said make it better, do it overcome the limitations of the past and in this way everybody must accomplish the tasks everyone has something nice to achieve. Then Srila Prabhupada was kind enough to conquer us with their friendliness and kindness with the same we must win people That is spiritual life. Friendliness in service. For example, the president of temple when provides a service should also give a paper that explains exactly what it means this service. what the treasurer must do , or the accountant, what the treasurer must do , or the accountant, and if someone says he will do it , also has to show that he will does it reallly . Because if they take a service and do not like it, everything begins to disrupt because nobody does it as it should be. this is called organization when one organizes something automatically things go better because sanysis travel from side to side to bring hapiness and love to temples how to do more service,more love,and this not only sanyasis all senior devotees When you go to a temple where he still is not very familiar, the first thing is to make friends. The secret one way or another to be successful is to be loved. I have to make me loved for every disciple. Imagine, I'm always working on making me be loved and look if someone looks me weird. The other day a girl in cali was in some Maya, she was in the artik, but she didnt wanted to look to my eyes. I was looking at her, but she did not want to look, then, other people distract me and she was gone wtih his son I felt very bad, because I knew she needed support, needed affection at that time and I could not give it, then I got very, very sad and sometimes I have no phone to call the devotees or because there are many people around
I say, it is my task, not that I am a spiritual teacher and do what I want because nobody is going to criticize. NO. My job is making me love by my disciples and then i preach them Then I say, we preach, we will distribute Prabhupada's books, we will open a new temple. In other words, is all in will, love and trust so if have to make me loved,,,so how are you? You think you can walk in there saying "I am senior devout, what happen here, insolent?" The insolent is you... in the spiritual life you must be loved, that is work. If you want to preach on the street has to be loved by people. hi how are you? what do you want? i want to talk to you of what? of something beautiful bahhh what ?
well of your spiritual soul what? i am not soul yes and is very beautiful you want to suck my socks?
no non no,,,i bring you a beautiful book to read it is the science of selfrealization what? yes is very beautiful this means preach we have to make other people love us one is not authorithy if is not through love It is the process of love because we teach people to love Krishna, then we have to be love These children who i have next to me confirmed because they are looking for love like you and me and everyone. to be loved means you have to be a courageous person. It's an effort. I look at someone and say you are well? Okay for real? If you ask the second time, people wonder. "How's that? Will want to know the truth? In the material world everyone says "How are you" and never hear your response because they are not interested, that's just a say. And when the other says "I'm bad" one wants to run away So I am very grateful to all who are willing and those who do or run these temples and these families too, because the husband has to be loved by the wife and the wife should be loved husband and parents need to be loved by children and the children must be loved by the parents as well, being good children. Someones do not know how to do it , but that is what is expected, be loved, not, be fear be fear is not spiritual relationship that is what some people like for to avoid to effort if everybody fears me,i say something and everybody runs Those who want to be afraid are the people who they see others as numbers are very egocentric. When someone wants to be loved means valuing the other person as very important. The Krishna devotees do not fear, they love Krishna, Your only loved and cherished, not feared, because otherwise, the atmosphere is degraded. this is my humble message i hope this get to you to the bottom of your heart and help me make this loving mission because if it is not loveing is not worthy to expand imagine this mission of terror uf no if we want to expand it So if anything we want to expand, it expands like love and you are still young, but you'd better expand love, because you will live surrounded by love. On these points I close my presentation about it and leave it up to you to apply if you see it convincing.
publish it and accomplish it
you ever wellwisher

spread the materials, print them and paste them thank yoy to all Now chat about Faitheducation is going to start.! this was given in bogota,colombia days ago. Thank you very much to welcome us in this hall of National University of Colombia, a research center, a center of education, a center for experiencing the despair that exists in the people of releaing from confinement of its actuall historic structures. It gives me great joy to present to you the issue of Oidatheraphy through their latest developments through faitheducation. Education on the basis of faith, regardless on faith. Education that has a great responsibility to human beings, not only in the viewpoint of social welfare, or from the standpoint of welfare physical or mental well-being but as a transcendental being. The oidatheraphy is in this circle. the oidatheraphy appears in this circle is not exactly something new but something of an observation Victor Frankl, in his contribution of Logotherapy focuses much the meaning of life. He says that man who do not knows nothing of the meaning of life, naturally expresses despair and much later alterations in their welfare This response is very interesting compared to the psychology of adaptation to circumstances which seeks to position the man of this world to the different circumstances surrounding it. Psychology as a study of the welfare of society, within the family, which seeks to guide the person toward the highest productivity within human society, Countering all the discomforts that can occur for various imbalances and frustrations is a function that falls short from the standpoint of oidaterapia. It's like a pain that one seeks to remedy with a pill. Just trying to ignore a situation that has bases earlier in the depths of our being. I therefore invite you to understand the roots of education according to the so-called unity conscious phenomenology.I therefore invite you to understand the roots of education according to the so-called unity conscious phenomenology.I therefore invite you to understand the roots of education according to the so-called unity conscious phenomenology. Conscious unity, or rather: you and me. We have a great responsibility and many skills. But it is so little we know about ourselves that we often forget the responsibilities that we have been given by the very fact of being conscious beings Conscious awareness, ultimately, knowing, learning,discriminating, analyzing, identifying, taking steps forward in our lives. Awareness drive motor. consciousness drive motor Observer awareness, foundation of the doubt, of research, the foundation of the happiness and progress. Buscar Conscience, gift of a field with its own criteria, where does this emerge ? Here we go where anthropologists and can study what they observed when analyzed the lifestyles of past centuries. What happened when the being began to adress each other? What happened when the conversation emerged? Which was the first proselytizing in this world who told another person, YOu know? I have an idea. Is this and this and this , as I think you also should obey because it is the best way to lead life. And the other might have said: I do not think so Or could have said: Fantastic, this will be my new faith.
Where?, Where the faith emerged ? What is faith? What is its root? What is thought? What is the word? what is the sophistication? How the ear works and the tongue to speak? Which is function of the the mind that works in a unimaginable speed equates it in circumstances and decisions that are transforming it into transformations in faith? For example: you give me an apple and I accept it, I mean as I have faith in you and the apple. It is an act of faith, eating, Walking is an act of faith. There are different types of faith.
All that is called faith is an acceptance process, necessary for walking, need to grow. Without faith the being can not be anything at all, Oida is euk idos. Socrates said: All I know is that i dont know nothing It is a very nice and humble phrase of this philosopher. That made him be loved and looked by the philosophers. Not that he said: I know everything and you have to follow me in everything, in fact the thought is an expression of our being ,of our conscious unity, whichpractically identifies a being as a child of the antimaterial capacity. La capacidad antimaterial es algo muy importante. If we do not kow the difference between matter and spirit, then we will enter into complex contradictions that will lead us to the same thing happens to the modern man: a situation where one knows where to go: either there or here. One does not know that it is good or bad. One does not know how to continue and come in very serious problems. Define antimaterial: for the evolutionist who believes that life does not make sense, he believes that the circumstances are just accidental that in due course led to a development in a case of a mental power that developed the first thought ... Imagine is the most important: When and how did the first thought emerge? one hear something and said : it has a meaning, I have to think about it and come to a conclusion of its meaning? This phenomenon is crucial to understand that it is fatiheducation, if we are convinced that all emerged by accident ... and had the ability to reproduce sistematically and inclusive founding the national university, which manifests like this. If that conscious unit have no other explanation what they say the evolusionists and Darwinists that is just for survival of the strongest of by selection system .. For them, the phenomenology of the mind and intelligence are unexplained mysteries. waht to say of the phenomenology that emerges when we entered on the field of faith, of faith in transcendence. To feel committed to accomplished as conscious beings,what to say of accomplishing something as the karma, to know of reincarnation, in moral and ethics, connection etc. A whole bunch of concepts that arise in connection with this assumption of transcendence as a backdrop to all that is I want to talk a little bit of Darwinism: which suggests that consciousness is something that comes by accident. I come to think that spirituality is a fantasy of the unimaginable being I remember as a child and went to school they told me: one day the monkey walked by the mountain and watch the sun was born and saw this golden globe and the monkey scratched his head and said: who have created this phenomenon.
And that was the birth of the first Homo Sapiens, or rather: the first thinking being From there they began to fantasize more, the amount of people have invented religions and the rest of the mafia appeared. All this say that happened with our life,the evolutionists. And as you know there is not much to do in this matter, because those who run the world today are not necessarily those seeking welfare and respect for other citizens. We are more in jake mate , in difficulties caused by materialism. Materialism means that if have the matter im fine, and if not I'm wrong So that you do not have a concept of responsibility, it puts one in a very desperate situation. We, as conscious beings have the impressive capacity to observe the matter . is that matter is watching us? I think not, no? As observers, we have a greater position to matter. Worse of course, our assumption is that the inferior has produced the higher : the non-observant, as the material, and has accidentally produce the being that have been his observer all this time Imagine, we here have at the university microbiology, physics, doing study after study to learn more of the substance, the substance that we do not know what it is.
A quantum physicists recently said that no such material exists, it is only a dehydrated state of consciousness, because the background of the subject is aware of one way or another. This is one of the theories of quantum physics actually, but it is something that one Goswami confirm when he said that really the collapse of the evolutionary circumstances may arise from the intervention of an consciouselement , and not vice versa. the self conscious is superior to matter, we must come to this terms to enter to the the phenomenon of faith. In advance, we must understand that faith is faith in myself, in me as consicous unity , and then I find that you areanother conscious unity and have faith and we get to talk: how are you ? And you tell me: well, here I am. And I wonder where you come from? And you tell me: i dont know and i ask you : where you are going ? And you answer: i do not know either. That rare thing, no? We are two consious units that are getting in touch in this vast cosmos. have You heared something from which we can come from or if afterlife exists? And you say the truth, I have not heard anything. So we began to compare, suddenly there is some power of our hearing or tongue thta makes us raisemakes us be born. We do not know exactly how or where or when, but it happened before and is still happening. I am talking about and you are listening, then you are going to ask questions and comment and I will listen to us to make progress, so that you have not wasted our time coming to this conference and to take a step forward in investigation of his own being and his own way. So, we starts here untill a person who said : that I have seen a light. a light ? yes a light...the sun light? answer : no ,,but how ? a light ? a special light? yes a light that is called internal light.The internal light according to school Brahmins is the light that lets you see the light. yes a light that is called internal light.The internal light according to school Brahmins is the light that lets you see the light. What is light?in oida cames the de word vid: vid is vision is why do we see ? why does ther is the sun ? what is the sun? what is the astro king ? what is the marvelous star ? in all the natural religions adn the ancient cultures have worshiped the astro king of course yes, also worship to our mother earth Ancient cultures had a lot of respect, not like today that it is thought jsut to be a bit of land, while the materialists seeking only gold. Then with the land we do what we want because thought we had much until we realized that the calculation was wrong, because now we have problems with water, trees, etc.. we do problems to our environment Then the man watching the earth, watching the sun was impressed. The sun gives us light, but also gives us life? no he is not the element that fisically give birth to me or you who was then ? was another strengh diferent to the sun this is the vid the vision that form part of the self as his consciousness the consciousness is so incredible that capacitates us to see the sun see the sun if you dont have eyes ? you cant for this is so important to have eyes to see the sun there are two cissions the vision of the sun of the soul and what is called oida; i know in india oida come from the word veda and means truth So we try to define truth, we as humans always have to define truth. is like a human adiction .For that we have the judicial system, where the judge says that everything must be harmonized on the basis of truth and the same witnesses say: I will speak the truth and nothing but the truth.
So the truth is very important, is what we really want to see. Veda is the vision and the truth or the science of the soul. You know another word that means science of the soul? Psychology. Is the science of light, the science of consciousness and that is where we need to open up and make a quantum leap A bit detached from the previously accepted notions and preconceptions that have been incorporated into our modus vivendis, most of all as a justification. As in the material world we do many things but one always wants to justify As if the mind is a machine that produces excuses and justifications. So for our materialistic and selfish life our lives we need a justification, and materialism is the perfect justification But if we look a little history of the faith, we will see that the man was very mistic before the rise of crude materialism of today. I hope you can meditate a little on this. the importance in the faith is in education and the faith in our lives.

spread the materials, print them and paste them thank yoy to all Now chat about Faitheducation is going to start.! this was given in bogota,colombia days ago. Thank you very much to welcome us in this hall of National University of Colombia, a research center, a center of education, a center for experiencing the despair that exists in the people of releaing from confinement of its actuall historic structures. It gives me great joy to present to you the issue of Oidatheraphy through their latest developments through faitheducation. Education on the basis of faith, regardless on faith. Education that has a great responsibility to human beings, not only in the viewpoint of social welfare, or from the standpoint of welfare physical or mental well-being but as a transcendental being. The oidatheraphy is in this circle. the oidatheraphy appears in this circle is not exactly something new but something of an observation Victor Frankl, in his contribution of Logotherapy focuses much the meaning of life. He says that man who do not knows nothing of the meaning of life, naturally expresses despair and much later alterations in their welfare This response is very interesting compared to the psychology of adaptation to circumstances which seeks to position the man of this world to the different circumstances surrounding it. Psychology as a study of the welfare of society, within the family, which seeks to guide the person toward the highest productivity within human society, Countering all the discomforts that can occur for various imbalances and frustrations is a function that falls short from the standpoint of oidaterapia. It's like a pain that one seeks to remedy with a pill. Just trying to ignore a situation that has bases earlier in the depths of our being. I therefore invite you to understand the roots of education according to the so-called unity conscious phenomenology.I therefore invite you to understand the roots of education according to the so-called unity conscious phenomenology.I therefore invite you to understand the roots of education according to the so-called unity conscious phenomenology. Conscious unity, or rather: you and me. We have a great responsibility and many skills. But it is so little we know about ourselves that we often forget the responsibilities that we have been given by the very fact of being conscious beings Conscious awareness, ultimately, knowing, learning,discriminating, analyzing, identifying, taking steps forward in our lives. Awareness drive motor. consciousness drive motor Observer awareness, foundation of the doubt, of research, the foundation of the happiness and progress. Buscar Conscience, gift of a field with its own criteria, where does this emerge ? Here we go where anthropologists and can study what they observed when analyzed the lifestyles of past centuries. What happened when the being began to adress each other? What happened when the conversation emerged? Which was the first proselytizing in this world who told another person, YOu know? I have an idea. Is this and this and this , as I think you also should obey because it is the best way to lead life. And the other might have said: I do not think so Or could have said: Fantastic, this will be my new faith.
Where?, Where the faith emerged ? What is faith? What is its root? What is thought? What is the word? what is the sophistication? How the ear works and the tongue to speak? Which is function of the the mind that works in a unimaginable speed equates it in circumstances and decisions that are transforming it into transformations in faith? For example: you give me an apple and I accept it, I mean as I have faith in you and the apple. It is an act of faith, eating, Walking is an act of faith. There are different types of faith.
All that is called faith is an acceptance process, necessary for walking, need to grow. Without faith the being can not be anything at all, Oida is euk idos. Socrates said: All I know is that i dont know nothing It is a very nice and humble phrase of this philosopher. That made him be loved and looked by the philosophers. Not that he said: I know everything and you have to follow me in everything, in fact the thought is an expression of our being ,of our conscious unity, whichpractically identifies a being as a child of the antimaterial capacity. La capacidad antimaterial es algo muy importante. If we do not kow the difference between matter and spirit, then we will enter into complex contradictions that will lead us to the same thing happens to the modern man: a situation where one knows where to go: either there or here. One does not know that it is good or bad. One does not know how to continue and come in very serious problems. Define antimaterial: for the evolutionist who believes that life does not make sense, he believes that the circumstances are just accidental that in due course led to a development in a case of a mental power that developed the first thought ... Imagine is the most important: When and how did the first thought emerge? one hear something and said : it has a meaning, I have to think about it and come to a conclusion of its meaning? This phenomenon is crucial to understand that it is fatiheducation, if we are convinced that all emerged by accident ... and had the ability to reproduce sistematically and inclusive founding the national university, which manifests like this. If that conscious unit have no other explanation what they say the evolusionists and Darwinists that is just for survival of the strongest of by selection system .. For them, the phenomenology of the mind and intelligence are unexplained mysteries. waht to say of the phenomenology that emerges when we entered on the field of faith, of faith in transcendence. To feel committed to accomplished as conscious beings,what to say of accomplishing something as the karma, to know of reincarnation, in moral and ethics, connection etc. A whole bunch of concepts that arise in connection with this assumption of transcendence as a backdrop to all that is I want to talk a little bit of Darwinism: which suggests that consciousness is something that comes by accident. I come to think that spirituality is a fantasy of the unimaginable being I remember as a child and went to school they told me: one day the monkey walked by the mountain and watch the sun was born and saw this golden globe and the monkey scratched his head and said: who have created this phenomenon.
And that was the birth of the first Homo Sapiens, or rather: the first thinking being From there they began to fantasize more, the amount of people have invented religions and the rest of the mafia appeared. All this say that happened with our life,the evolutionists. And as you know there is not much to do in this matter, because those who run the world today are not necessarily those seeking welfare and respect for other citizens. We are more in jake mate , in difficulties caused by materialism. Materialism means that if have the matter im fine, and if not I'm wrong So that you do not have a concept of responsibility, it puts one in a very desperate situation. We, as conscious beings have the impressive capacity to observe the matter . is that matter is watching us? I think not, no? As observers, we have a greater position to matter. Worse of course, our assumption is that the inferior has produced the higher : the non-observant, as the material, and has accidentally produce the being that have been his observer all this time Imagine, we here have at the university microbiology, physics, doing study after study to learn more of the substance, the substance that we do not know what it is.
A quantum physicists recently said that no such material exists, it is only a dehydrated state of consciousness, because the background of the subject is aware of one way or another. This is one of the theories of quantum physics actually, but it is something that one Goswami confirm when he said that really the collapse of the evolutionary circumstances may arise from the intervention of an consciouselement , and not vice versa. the self conscious is superior to matter, we must come to this terms to enter to the the phenomenon of faith. In advance, we must understand that faith is faith in myself, in me as consicous unity , and then I find that you areanother conscious unity and have faith and we get to talk: how are you ? And you tell me: well, here I am. And I wonder where you come from? And you tell me: i dont know and i ask you : where you are going ? And you answer: i do not know either. That rare thing, no? We are two consious units that are getting in touch in this vast cosmos. have You heared something from which we can come from or if afterlife exists? And you say the truth, I have not heard anything. So we began to compare, suddenly there is some power of our hearing or tongue thta makes us raisemakes us be born. We do not know exactly how or where or when, but it happened before and is still happening. I am talking about and you are listening, then you are going to ask questions and comment and I will listen to us to make progress, so that you have not wasted our time coming to this conference and to take a step forward in investigation of his own being and his own way. So, we starts here untill a person who said : that I have seen a light. a light ? yes a light...the sun light? answer : no ,,but how ? a light ? a special light? yes a light that is called internal light.The internal light according to school Brahmins is the light that lets you see the light. yes a light that is called internal light.The internal light according to school Brahmins is the light that lets you see the light. What is light?in oida cames the de word vid: vid is vision is why do we see ? why does ther is the sun ? what is the sun? what is the astro king ? what is the marvelous star ? in all the natural religions adn the ancient cultures have worshiped the astro king of course yes, also worship to our mother earth Ancient cultures had a lot of respect, not like today that it is thought jsut to be a bit of land, while the materialists seeking only gold.

Jay reverences !
In this moment Gurumaharaj is in Berlin,Germany.
He is in the sunday festival. We are going to give before the chat today a text Last wednesday we celebrate the 30 th appearance of their lordship SRiGournitay in Bogota,Colombiaz and the 31th took of sanyass of our Gurumaharaj. Here is the text.I took sanyass 4 times in my life First as a young boy realizing the love between men ans women wasnt the love i was searhing for. Then i took sanyas of my dear srila prabhupada in a dream in 1977 a few moments after his departure i have asked to him a year before in vrindavan. it was real with danda and mantra but when i wake up i forget the mantra then i took officialy sanyas in brasil in 1978 of my spiritual brother the day of sri balaram. then in 1984 in the day of the desapearance of Srila prabhupada i receive sanyasss of srila bhakti raksak maharaj in Navadvipa in riveer gangegs. he gifted me my name of sanyasy Bhakti Aloka Paramadvaiti.
Then i have as my guardian of sannyas to srila prabhupada,srila sridhar maharaj and lord balaram. is like this I have 31 years of my small effort of being a rennouncer server of you. Sri Gour Nitai ki jay !!! what can i said. this beauty lordships are the owners of my life is for them i have Bogota as my capital of the world. all was mercy they were already in bogota when i arrive expell of brasil. they gave us varsana, they gave us Gouranga Radha Vrajesvara. they gave us vrinda family. they always guide me.under his protection manifested the reform of the mistakes commited in iskon. after the departure of srila prabhupada Goura Nitai have the infinitive mistic. jay sri goura nitai !!! gdvkdd: Jay!! !this is the end of the text that gurumaharaj sent. Now comes the todays chat. :)
What ever happens never loose your sence of humor.
So it is my recommendation to you today to not loose your sense of humor in life. I know my spiritual master he was very joyful and he also told us sometimes some very funny jokes. Of course when he told a joke there was a very deep meaning inside of that joke. There were not silly jokes to waste your time. There were jokes to uplift your consciousness. So sometimes in life things go pretty wild, but whatever happens think of Krishna, he is probably smiling behind the scenes about our childishness, about our silliness, about our ego-attachment, and how it hurts to our ego when we think that we loose The sense of humor of the lord can even be a little brutal. But his brutality is for the upliftment for the souls. It is not actual brutality. Yes you are listening right, the King of heaven was cursed to become a hog, and why, because he became lusty for Sachi, she was the wife of the spiritual master brhaspati. And because he had some lusty feelings for her and he made some advances to her while his guru was on journey and the reaction was that he was born as a hog. Hogs do not discriminate with whom they have sex. This was the appropriate chastiseness. Then there was a problem in heaven, because indra was a good administrator, like a temple president. Like when the temple president is gone and nobody substitutes him, the temple becomes a mess. So the denizens of heaven said that we have to get Indra back. Brahma said, okay I will try, he went down to the hog shed, he spoke to indra, come your curse is removed, I will take you back to heaven. Indra looked at him like he was a very strange person, why do you disturb me here, he asked. Can t you see I am happy living with my wife and piggies, we just got few new piggies, having a good time here. And who are you to disturb me here. Its funny, regardless how miserable your circumstance is you are trying to get a kickout here.Everybody manages, like the workers who work for such a low salary, they can hardly feed their families, and then they are protesting and protesting, and then the owner of the company says, ok, I give you 10 percent more. Then they are celebrating. And then all the prices in the market also get raised 10 percent also. People are trying to get a kickout of what they are doing. And if they cant do it then they go and get drunk. Then they want to forget their misery. Then this is their joy. In this way in the material world we never want to admit I am a big failure. Everythings went wrong, I did not serve my lord Hari. I did not help my friends either. I did not realize that I am a spirit soul and I have gone down with my karma all the way to be born in berlin.
Or maybe rimini, or passewalk, but deep deep down in kali yuga and I am quite miserable, I don’t like the education, I don’t like the tv programs, I don’t like the politicians and what they are doing, I don’t like to be an addict of drugs and alcohol, I don’t like the food they are selling in the market, I don’t like the economical crisis. I don’t like the fashions and that you are supposed to every six months were a different type of dress. I don’t like smoking, I don’t like the competition spirit, I don’t like the anxiety. Actually there is very little things I like, but I am in the middle of it, so but I will not tell anybody, if they ask me how are you, I will say I am fine, everything is good, I will not admit my real condition. And in my loneliness I will try to find somebody to help me to overcome this loneliness, and first I have to lie to him or her, and I have to say that I love you more then anybody else, and if she or he believes me, then we make an attempt of 2 big egos living together, usually it does not work unless one of the egos says trample upon me, I will tolerate. Then maybe it goes on for a while. So to be very hones and please bare with me, there may be some exceptions to the rule, people don’t like their wifes. And wifes don’t like their husband either. And brothers don’t like their brothers or their sisters. And parents don’t like the way their children behave. And children they don’t like their parents commentaries or their parents orders, it looks like in this world nobody likes nobody, if they get closer to each other. You can like somebody who lives in india, oh, he is so nice, and it is so wonderful that he lives so far away from me, so we never had any fight, imagine. Because I don’t fight, I am a good person. What about your parents, oh sorry, what about your brothers and sisters, oh sorry. Anybody disagrees about this point. Of course there maybe some exceptions to this. Sometimes people still living in a romantic dream, But not that they really say, I am the luckiest man on earth, I love everyone.
So indra he said I am very happy. Can’t you see my wife. This beautiful fat pig, and this beautiful little piggies and you say that I have to leave them, you must be a messenger of adharma, that you want to destroy my family. Brahma said, indra, wake up, this is just a bad dream, that the king of heaven becomes a pig. What you mean a bad dream, leave me alone. Brahma did not know what to do. Then he took one piggy and killed him. Then indra said what are you going to do now. Brahma asked are you coming now. No. then brahma had to kill all his family, and in the end indra saw that he was alone and said he is coming. Our ego attachments are like that. I know that you are not like this, but I am talking about some serious cases. So people in this world get attached to something and angry. Although it is meaningless, but people are so attached to the image they see.
They say, this beautiful me, what is happening. I have to do something about it. Let me go to the hairdresser. When the people become elder, jewelry becomes important. But it does not help, you cannot change the history. You are growing older. Your beautiful body is taken back slowly. Because I don’t want to accept that I am in the material world. I want to make this the spiritual world. But to go to the spiritual world you have to give up the attachment. This is not for me. You are talking to the wrong guy. I am very busy with my attachments. I already have plans to spend the next 100000 euro, I already spend it in my mind. Don’t tell me I have to become detached. This is all the different ego situations. Lord brahma got indra back, and indra was so ashamed. What happened to him. That’s what happens to the leader in this world. If they don’t behave properly then the world will put them in a completely shameful situation. Like in the school, if the child was naughty he will have to stand in the corner, and all the children look at him, this is so embarrassing.
They don’t do that here, this is old style. What they are doing today, they are sending the child out of the class. Very embarrassing. So we have to maintain our sense of humor in this world. The Vedas teach us through humor as well. Even when they slap us, durga is smiling, now what you think about that slap. Well cant you understand that you were silly. I guess yes, are you ready to change, I guess no. take another slap. Maya, why you hit me. Because I love you. But why you hit me when you love me. Actually I am not hitting. You are hitting yourself by your karma. Don’t make others responsible for your sufferings. The great sage Srila BR Sridhar maharaja used to say, the environment is perfect. The only one wrong here is you, yes, you. Yes, I was looking at you. Yes you. The environment is right. The environment means the cause of action. So in this material world there is many reasons to be sad. But there is many more reasons to be happy. There is many more reasons to be grateful, there is many more reasons to do something wonderful in this world. So Murphy said smile, tomorrow will be worse. So smile today. That’s a bit sarcastic. It means reality. Or are you gonna be better tomorrow. Or are you going to be more healthy or younger or prettier. Anybody. We have another answer. Smile. Because you are spirit soul. Smile because you are eternal. Smile because god is in your heart. Smile because you can chant the holy names. Smile because you can go to the temple and do service. Smile because there exists so many sadhus who like to help you. Smile there will be prasadam after class. Smile because Krishna loves you. Smile this external world is just the dreamy state of changing causes and effects. And your soul is the only true reality. Smile because we are making an eco yoga project in mewegen. Smile because we are going to make a beautiful sanctuary in vrinda kuna. Smile because you can learn the mridanga to play in the kirtan. Smile because you can make yourself useful in helping others. Smile because your life is a chance to make others smile. Their smile is a flower and every flower is a smile of god. And if you smile for god your smile becomes like a flower to attract people to god. So don’t show your stoneface, in south America we say, don’t show your wood face, don’t show your negativity. Don’t try to scare me please. Because if you smile I will more likely listen to you. If you come to me with this argghhhhh, I and everybody else wants to run away from you. When you make this ugly face you are so lonely in this world. Be joyful, be thankful. And laugh about yourself. But really, have a good laugh, I mean a real thundering laughter, laugh about this silly guy who gets angry, who eats too much, who likes to hide behind other peoples faults, who has a big ego although he is a little nobody. What you mean I am a little nobody. Could you explain that a little bit better. Of course I am not talking about you. I am talking about me, that I am a little nobody. Whatever good thing I have to say to you and whatever good thing I can do for you it is only by the grace of gurudeva. Otherwise I am more or less a nuisance. The black sheep of my fathers family. That’s what the great soul Krishna das kaviraj goswami said. He said jagai madai hoite….. jagai and madai they were really big rascals, but compared to me they were not that bad. And as far as the worm is concerned, you know some worms are coming out of the body inside stool, sometimes when you get some cleanup of the system, all kinds of living entities come out, currently renting inside. The worm and the stool is really not the most excellent citizen of the planet, but I feel myself I am worse than him, because I am always an offensive person. That little worm is not doing any harm to anybody. He just wants to stay inside there in his stool. That’s the opinion of Krishna das kaviraj goswami of himself. So we should have a big laughter about yourself. I mean you had some complications in life, your karma was not exactly loyal. And you don’t have much to show for. But don’t run around this world just complaining. Nobody wants to hear your complaints anyway. Like the students complain about so many tests, then the other students say but we all have to pass these tests. You think you are better than everybody else. If they don’t want to pass the test they go out of the school. Then they complain again, I don’t want to have a job, why do I have to have a boss, I don’t want to do that. What do you want to do. I don’t know, I just don’t want to do anything. You are complaining because you have to do something. You are a real exceptionally good fellow, aren’t you. No, you are a lazy bum, even the government knows that everybody has to do something. Yesterday I read a newspaper when it came from Bulgaria, there was a story of a british judge: I catched the drug dealer, he is a foreigner, he is illegal in the country, and I tell now you get to jail and you will be kicked out of the country. But I know that he is not going to leave this country. He is going to be a burden on the pocket of the taxpayer. Why, because when he is coming out of the jail, he is going to say, I am a homosexual, and in my country homosexual are discriminated against, and in England we have a homosexual congressmen who pushed for a law that nobody can be deported to a country where people do not have equal rights. So in this way we in this world we create so many circumstances but we will not understand that we will not be happy.The happiness will only come when you accept that you are not so important. But that you can become important when you serve the Lord. If you get an invitation today, maybe ms Merkel, the bundeskanzler for germany invites you, please come and meet me, I need some advice. Me, bundsekanzler is inviting me, immediately he becomes proud, the bundeskkanzler invites me. That’s why people always talk about their famous friends. You know jimmy Hendrix, don’t know him, sorry, I had hair, people looked at me and said I look like jimmy Hendrix. But in the material world this does not happen, unless you accept that you should associate with the supreme lord, that solves all the problems at once. My lord, you are my eternal friend, now I really want to do something for you. Now I really want to become your eternal servant. Not only that, I am ready to start today. People always say they will do beautiful things but that they will start tomorrow. They are called the tomorrow people. Are you one of them. Are you promising something which you are not doing today. Are you living in that dream. If you only say tomorrow, then you say that you will be happy only tomorrow. But when you say you will start today, then all the difficulties in life will solve automatically. But you should not laugh about the others. One time Krishna was in kusum sarovar and he was hiding in the trees, and radharani was picking flowers, and when radharani wanted to pick the flower Krishna in the tree raised the branch so Radharani could not pick the flower, then Radharani noticed Krishna and became angry. Then Krishna asked forgiveness and requested to arrange the hair of radharani. Don’t forget to chant hare Krishna, because when you chant hare Krishna maha mantra, this makes you soft and humble, because you cannot chant in a rude way. Always chant when things become difficult, and breath deeply. Hare Krishna hare Krishna Krishna Krishna hare hare hare rama hare rama rama rama hare hare. Keep chanting and all the problems will disappear.
In this moment Gurumaharaj is in Berlin,Germany.

Now comes the todays chat. :)
What ever happens never loose your sence of humor.
So it is my recommendation to you today to not loose your sense of humor in life. I know my spiritual master he was very joyful and he also told us sometimes some very funny jokes. Of course when he told a joke there was a very deep meaning inside of that joke. There were not silly jokes to waste your time. There were jokes to uplift your consciousness. So sometimes in life things go pretty wild, but whatever happens think of Krishna, he is probably smiling behind the scenes about our childishness, about our silliness, about our ego-attachment, and how it hurts to our ego when we think that we loose The sense of humor of the lord can even be a little brutal. But his brutality is for the upliftment for the souls. It is not actual brutality. Yes you are listening right, the King of heaven was cursed to become a hog, and why, because he became lusty for Sachi, she was the wife of the spiritual master brhaspati. And because he had some lusty feelings for her and he made some advances to her while his guru was on journey and the reaction was that he was born as a hog. Hogs do not discriminate with whom they have sex. This was the appropriate chastiseness. Then there was a problem in heaven, because indra was a good administrator, like a temple president. Like when the temple president is gone and nobody substitutes him, the temple becomes a mess. So the denizens of heaven said that we have to get Indra back. Brahma said, okay I will try, he went down to the hog shed, he spoke to indra, come your curse is removed, I will take you back to heaven. Indra looked at him like he was a very strange person, why do you disturb me here, he asked. Can t you see I am happy living with my wife and piggies, we just got few new piggies, having a good time here. And who are you to disturb me here. Its funny, regardless how miserable your circumstance is you are trying to get a kickout here.Everybody manages, like the workers who work for such a low salary, they can hardly feed their families, and then they are protesting and protesting, and then the owner of the company says, ok, I give you 10 percent more. Then they are celebrating. And then all the prices in the market also get raised 10 percent also. People are trying to get a kickout of what they are doing. And if they cant do it then they go and get drunk. Then they want to forget their misery. Then this is their joy. In this way in the material world we never want to admit I am a big failure. Everythings went wrong, I did not serve my lord Hari. I did not help my friends either. I did not realize that I am a spirit soul and I have gone down with my karma all the way to be born in berlin.
Or maybe rimini, or passewalk, but deep deep down in kali yuga and I am quite miserable, I don’t like the education, I don’t like the tv programs, I don’t like the politicians and what they are doing, I don’t like to be an addict of drugs and alcohol, I don’t like the food they are selling in the market, I don’t like the economical crisis. I don’t like the fashions and that you are supposed to every six months were a different type of dress. I don’t like smoking, I don’t like the competition spirit, I don’t like the anxiety. Actually there is very little things I like, but I am in the middle of it, so but I will not tell anybody, if they ask me how are you, I will say I am fine, everything is good, I will not admit my real condition. And in my loneliness I will try to find somebody to help me to overcome this loneliness, and first I have to lie to him or her, and I have to say that I love you more then anybody else, and if she or he believes me, then we make an attempt of 2 big egos living together, usually it does not work unless one of the egos says trample upon me, I will tolerate. Then maybe it goes on for a while. So to be very hones and please bare with me, there may be some exceptions to the rule, people don’t like their wifes. And wifes don’t like their husband either. And brothers don’t like their brothers or their sisters. And parents don’t like the way their children behave. And children they don’t like their parents commentaries or their parents orders, it looks like in this world nobody likes nobody, if they get closer to each other. You can like somebody who lives in india, oh, he is so nice, and it is so wonderful that he lives so far away from me, so we never had any fight, imagine. Because I don’t fight, I am a good person. What about your parents, oh sorry, what about your brothers and sisters, oh sorry. Anybody disagrees about this point. Of course there maybe some exceptions to this. Sometimes people still living in a romantic dream, But not that they really say, I am the luckiest man on earth, I love everyone.
So indra he said I am very happy. Can’t you see my wife. This beautiful fat pig, and this beautiful little piggies and you say that I have to leave them, you must be a messenger of adharma, that you want to destroy my family. Brahma said, indra, wake up, this is just a bad dream, that the king of heaven becomes a pig. What you mean a bad dream, leave me alone. Brahma did not know what to do. Then he took one piggy and killed him. Then indra said what are you going to do now. Brahma asked are you coming now. No. then brahma had to kill all his family, and in the end indra saw that he was alone and said he is coming. Our ego attachments are like that. I know that you are not like this, but I am talking about some serious cases. So people in this world get attached to something and angry. Although it is meaningless, but people are so attached to the image they see.
They say, this beautiful me, what is happening. I have to do something about it. Let me go to the hairdresser. When the people become elder, jewelry becomes important. But it does not help, you cannot change the history. You are growing older. Your beautiful body is taken back slowly. Because I don’t want to accept that I am in the material world. I want to make this the spiritual world. But to go to the spiritual world you have to give up the attachment. This is not for me. You are talking to the wrong guy. I am very busy with my attachments. I already have plans to spend the next 100000 euro, I already spend it in my mind. Don’t tell me I have to become detached. This is all the different ego situations. Lord brahma got indra back, and indra was so ashamed. What happened to him. That’s what happens to the leader in this world. If they don’t behave properly then the world will put them in a completely shameful situation. Like in the school, if the child was naughty he will have to stand in the corner, and all the children look at him, this is so embarrassing.
They don’t do that here, this is old style. What they are doing today, they are sending the child out of the class. Very embarrassing. So we have to maintain our sense of humor in this world. The Vedas teach us through humor as well. Even when they slap us, durga is smiling, now what you think about that slap. Well cant you understand that you were silly. I guess yes, are you ready to change, I guess no. take another slap. Maya, why you hit me. Because I love you. But why you hit me when you love me. Actually I am not hitting. You are hitting yourself by your karma. Don’t make others responsible for your sufferings. The great sage Srila BR Sridhar maharaja used to say, the environment is perfect. The only one wrong here is you, yes, you. Yes, I was looking at you. Yes you. The environment is right. The environment means the cause of action. So in this material world there is many reasons to be sad. But there is many more reasons to be happy. There is many more reasons to be grateful, there is many more reasons to do something wonderful in this world. So Murphy said smile, tomorrow will be worse. So smile today. That’s a bit sarcastic. It means reality. Or are you gonna be better tomorrow. Or are you going to be more healthy or younger or prettier. Anybody. We have another answer. Smile. Because you are spirit soul. Smile because you are eternal. Smile because god is in your heart. Smile because you can chant the holy names. Smile because you can go to the temple and do service. Smile because there exists so many sadhus who like to help you. Smile there will be prasadam after class. Smile because Krishna loves you. Smile this external world is just the dreamy state of changing causes and effects. And your soul is the only true reality. Smile because we are making an eco yoga project in mewegen. Smile because we are going to make a beautiful sanctuary in vrinda kuna. Smile because you can learn the mridanga to play in the kirtan. Smile because you can make yourself useful in helping others. Smile because your life is a chance to make others smile. Their smile is a flower and every flower is a smile of god.

august 2,2009
Siddhanti Maharaj from spain explains how he first met th devotees.
"...It was sundayfeast, 15 devotees was there. Parampuja Prabhu was there and I asked him to speak more. So next day I went there to speak with him. So he started to explain to me about Krishnaconsciousness. I stayed for 10 days, then Parampuja was going to Roma and I said that he should call me when he come back from Roma. Then he said "nonono! You stay here in the temple until I come back. You make program here. You can make halva and make program" So after only 10 days I was taking care of the sundayfeast. The people asked "Where is Parampuja?", I explained and then with them I was reading the Bhagavad Gita. The next sundayfeast was lesser people (one less person). When Parampuja called I said I couldnt do this anymore, I need devotee association. So he agreed and I got a ticket to Roma to meet with the devotees. There was 80 devotees with a lot of enthusiasm. Devotos woke up early early and shouting "Hariiiibol! Mangal Aratik!!". I was shocked, was thinking: "Is there a fire?!" But I joined their running and enthusiasm and attended my first mangal aratik. The experience was very strange, I was pushed in the middle of the Kirtan and I was jumping and I understood that THIS is what I was searching for. After one week in Roma the sankirtan team came to Roma and somehow I ended up in that team and was traveling for 2 years in Italy doing sankirtan. Then in 1976 was a grand festival in Mayapur. I went there and there was Srila Prabhupada and I got initiation there. Until today many things has happened.
Gurumaharaj:
Siddhanti maharaj was in the military, jumping from the airplanes with parachute. A very heavy duty. This can be compared to the brahmachari training. Gurumaharaj presents some artists from the mission (their CD:s). Matajee Gupta Vrindavan DD: "I was invited to the ecotruly park outside Lima, I stayed for one month and then back to Bolivia. Then after 3 months I was planning to go to Ecuador, but stayed shortly in Eco Truly Park and there I Met Gurudeva and he invited me to Banios in Ecuador Jardin Ecologicos Vrindavan. There started my spiritual life and I stayed for 4 years" Gurumaharaj: "Gupta and her husband has started a yogacenter now in Bad Homburg. A very succesful program." Krishna was the first environmentalist. He killed Kaliya who where poisoning the Yamuna. Krishna couldn't tolerate this. Siddhanta Prabhu now tells his story how he came to Krishna consciousness. "Thank you for this oppurtunity to share my experiences. I was born and raised in the US. I began a family there. I was searching for an alternativ lifestyle to the exscessive capitalism lifestyle. My wife is from hungary so in 1990 we moved to Hungary. I started to practice Yoga and met some very nice yogateachers in budapest and started to go very deep into the practice of Yoga. I had sstrong desire to purify myself and began a very strong sadhana and started to study. So finally I came in contact with Bhagavad Gita as it is. After reading this I was so moved by the experience that this is something special. I went to the ashram in Budapest but was missing the Yogapractice that I was accustomed to. Later I found another book with Srila Prabhupada. So I went to the ashram connected to this book, it wasnt ISKCON. I expected a lot of devotees running around, but there was only Keshava Maharaj and I really liked the atmosphere. He said that I had come in a perfect time because Gurudeva Paramadvaiti Swami was coming. First I had to go to hospital because my knees where destroyed from all the yoga asanans. Finally I met with Gurumaharaj, he took his garland and put it on my neck, he asked me where I am from. Then he brought me out on the square for a harinam and I see this as my real entrance into this family. In the US I got some property from my mother in New Hampshire. Gurumaharaj adviced me to stay with the devotees in Hungary. But I went to US and established myself there for 6 years, then Gurumahraj came and we decided to make a temple there. So we started this bhaktiYoga center. At one point I was feeling very lonely, deprived of association with devotees, so I was crying to Krishna to get association. Next day there was raining a lot and someone called the bell at the door and outside where 6 nepalese people looking for a hindu temple. And they said that 60 more families would be coming soon. Next speaker, Draupadi DD from germany
"We are happy because the matajee ashram has moved to the big temple and now we can live close to Krishna and make more and more service together. We are working with the vegetarian club serving prasadam. We have been going to festivals with the spoonrevolution. The plan is to now soon move the deities to the new house. Gurumaharaj: The new temple is very nice. With Swami Maharaj we have plans to start a vaishanva education center there. The vishnuoriya ashram and the brahamchari is actually the only dignified plavce to live. The only only only reaso nto not ligve in the temple is to have an excellent excellent grihasta ashram. Otherwise, if the women are not married, where are the women going to go? This environment is so beneficial.
Bhakti Shakti dd is a good example, she turned her apartment into an ashram and now there are many deovtees coming from there. You could not make me leave the ashram if you beat me with a stick. In an ashram you have to stop being egoistic. Its hard, some people are spoiled, they are used to get everything. In an ashram noone even has a bed. This is progressive and it makes people happy. Also the carbonfoot print is smaller by thise living in ashram. (Guruamahraj playing a CD from the la serena devotees, glorifying their beautiful programs. They have a bakery, a theater group and so much life in their preaching. Krishna consciousness in the chile way. Next speaker: BrahmaSamhita: In sweden we made a lot of sankirtan. We made a comicbook but now with spoonrevolution sankirtan is even easier. You bring the person to a feeling of contributing to something nice. In bulgaria we have 50 of the Okis made. Devotees are working on this there and next step is to make these leaflets. In sweden we have a BIG wooden spoon, and made the spoon into Oki. So we went with this spoon to the street and approach the people with the small animals (who also have wooden spoons). Then one of the animals are beatboxing and the other sings a rapsong. With this funny approach people are happy to contribute with a spontaneous donation into the Oki spoon. In Bulgaria we are making ayurveda course and yoga course. We are planning now to make a VEDA slovena park. So we will go now up into the Mountains to look for land. Gurumaharaj said once: We are dreaming, but finally the dreams becomes reality...." For me as I grow older and has increased my duties it is my principle way to always reamin in contact with all of you, beacause I want to remain in contact with all of you. I like to be with you in the temple, to go on sankirtana with you, to design the farms together with you, I like to teach you mrdanga and karatalas, I like to touch your heart, so that you will receive the visitors with much love. Sometimes big temples have less attention to the individual, because everybody thinks that he is so busy and has no time to take care for others. This happens sometimes in big programs, but our goal is to receiave verybody nice. So I would really like to be with you in all the different tasks you are prefomrning. All this is my heart felt desire. I like to be also there with the faremers, to grow organic food. I like to be also with our pujaris,and attend our lordships with the utmost attention.
I like to be also with you on harinama, singing in small groups and well equiped with preaching material. And atract the people in this way. I want to be with you, when you are designing your web sites, when you are preparing your sunday feast, or when you are sending out your newsletters. In this way I really like to be with everybody, but in practice I can be with you in my medidation and sharing with you, what krishna inspires in me in this moment. Since we have a family with a very international character, you can enjoy the success of the preaching in any country. In a real family, you always becoase happy about the success of every devotee. I see my service as the one of a trubador. This is a person who is going around and singing the glories of the devotees and my spiritual master and the srimad bhagavatam. As a sannyasi actually I do not have to do anything else. Of course I can also help in administration. Therefore I am always stressing, to make the projects very tansparent. Purity is the key for our success. As I travel around and meet the devotees, every sunday I share with you, what has been given to me by krishna grace. Like he gave us this one week of nandafalva 15th mela. He gave us a celebration of 30 year since the founding of this eco community. And he gives us the companny of so many wonderful people. Even some godbrothers have come to join us and sadhu maharaja has come, since fortunatelly te dole-mela does not fall on the same date. It is my message to the devotees, which I send every week, just like we are giving class every day. And we really hope, that those who are our disciples or who feel inspiration from the preaching, to stay in contact by at least reading weekly this message. Of course the answering of questions has become more difficult, but if you have questions, you can alsywa ssend them thgourh my secretary and you will get the answer.
Many devotees can not be on the chat, because sunday is the main preaching day, but they can read it after. This use of technolg in the service of our spiritual master, has been a wonderful facility, krsna has given to us. Thourgh that I feel very much connected to you. Even if I can not visit your temple very easy. In the times of srila prabhuda, many tempe he had, he never visited. And we got messages from him very rarely, beuase this modern facility was not available then. Now you can listen to more classes of prabhupada, then what we were abel at that time. And od srila sridhara maharaja and of srila puri maharaja. I mean not be be inspirited is just because you are careless.
The topomost inspirationional materilal is always awailable. Of course, we al have a struggle with maya. Maya is always nocking on everybodies door, but the inspiration we are getting form the great acayas, is so imporntant. If you take shelter of this inspiration, you will be able to remain a devotee for the rest of your life. You have to remain a devotee. Otherwise, how can you guide your children and friend towards safety. How can you give shelter to others, if you have no shleter. So the real shelter is sadhu sanga. But the connection with the spiritual master is very importat, and it is my whish, that everybody I s happy in our spiritual family, and that everybody who like can take spiritual responsibility. Becusae the responsibility protects us from maya. You see the siksa guru and the diksa guru should be seen as same.There are two types of siksa guru. The one is the siksa guru who is actually incharged of your daily activites. He is practically as important as your diksa guru, eventhough, guru does not mean indypendent. The gurus are all working for the same goal. The other type of siksa guru is the sadhu. We can see every good devotee as a siksa guru. We can lear from all of them, but we are not personally commitet to service to them. So when we say, when the siksa and diksa guru are same, this refers t the siksa guru, who is guiding you in the service to your diksa guru. If you yourself are siksa guru and guiding other people, you have the sae responsibility as the diksa guru to make people happy in krsna consciousness. The happines comes form the complete identification and the sacrafice, which a person make to achieve the goal f his lifke. The happiness comes form commitent, it come fomr undiviated dedication, to such lfty ideals, as serving god iternally. If the authority, in the case the siksa guru, is not able to happily inspire you and others, then he is not very qualified. In other words, if you are not capable of inspirng and making others happy, you are not qualified, but htat is not reason to through the towel. No, that mean you have to qualify. Everybody in school has to qualify, otherwise they do not let him go to the next class. Some people they do not finish school, because they are so lazy, but the process of this movement is to qualify you and make you a pure devotee. It does not matter how long does it take time, but hopefully we can finish the job in this life time.
Therefor we need dedication. If you can not inspire the others to be happy in krishnas service, then you should provide them the chance to take up responsibility by theselfs or to find a sadhu who can help him. If somebody has joined the temple where I am preaching, then I am only preocupied, that he becomes happy. An I hope that he will do the things better then I am doing. A real leader trains new leaders. A god father desires to his son more success in life. Therefore the father sends his son to be trained by different experts. Because what I do not know I can not teach you. In this way we have always to make certain sacrifice and krishna knows everything and he blesses every devotee in the appropiate proportion.
It is my humble request that you always fee great concern for the impact your wors and actions have upon others. And if you see that they are becoming extatinc, they are chanting their rounds, they are coming to the class and that they are eager to serve, then you must be doing a good job. Our possiblites are very big, but we limit our selves. We have to do it. There is no way out. I can not do it, means I do not want to do it. Some people make a bad job, so that they will not be send again to do the bad job, but in this way you will not do spiritual progress. Who is trying to do the best? This is the natural behaviour of someone who has love. So from this mela from hungary, we are sending to all of you around the vinrda world, our loving concern for your success, that you may triumph in krsna consciousness and that maya will give you a break and that all your short commings may be forgiven by your humilty. Connect the world to krsna and love. That is our job. It is as sipmple as that. And love mean prasada, kirtana, pravacan, parikrama and transferal of love distribution. As you are a love distributer, those who can understand you, they will also distribute love very soon. Let me remind you once more, that if you can somebodies email address today, so that he can receive our newsletter, your preaching was already a success. So do not miss out on that. And those who send out those newsletters, they have to put all their love in this, that you may also touch others heart thourgh written word. That is the only good use of the internet, enthusing, enthusing and enthusing. The internet is also sometimes a good library, when you are researching some topic, but the internet is not critisizing others. If you make a offense in writing; the internet has the tendencay of multiplying. So if you write somethng wrong, it automaticcally becomes a maha offence. Do not do that. Do not even argue or discuss on the internet. Of course you can glorify god.
The tendecnay of the internet, because of his impersonal character, the people are adopting a very strange unwanted behaviour, because there is no one who can see them. Therefore in our vrinda mission, we are trying to have a very high standard of constructive internet information. Any offence you write or read is going to make your likfe more difficult.
Please take note of these commentaries. Theye are very imporant.
"...It was sundayfeast, 15 devotees was there. Parampuja Prabhu was there and I asked him to speak more. So next day I went there to speak with him. So he started to explain to me about Krishnaconsciousness. I stayed for 10 days, then Parampuja was going to Roma and I said that he should call me when he come back from Roma. Then he said "nonono! You stay here in the temple until I come back. You make program here. You can make halva and make program" So after only 10 days I was taking care of the sundayfeast. The people asked "Where is Parampuja?", I explained and then with them I was reading the Bhagavad Gita. The next sundayfeast was lesser people (one less person). When Parampuja called I said I couldnt do this anymore, I need devotee association. So he agreed and I got a ticket to Roma to meet with the devotees. There was 80 devotees with a lot of enthusiasm. Devotos woke up early early and shouting "Hariiiibol! Mangal Aratik!!". I was shocked, was thinking: "Is there a fire?!" But I joined their running and enthusiasm and attended my first mangal aratik. The experience was very strange, I was pushed in the middle of the Kirtan and I was jumping and I understood that THIS is what I was searching for. After one week in Roma the sankirtan team came to Roma and somehow I ended up in that team and was traveling for 2 years in Italy doing sankirtan. Then in 1976 was a grand festival in Mayapur. I went there and there was Srila Prabhupada and I got initiation there. Until today many things has happened.
Gurumaharaj:
Siddhanti maharaj was in the military, jumping from the airplanes with parachute. A very heavy duty. This can be compared to the brahmachari training. Gurumaharaj presents some artists from the mission (their CD:s). Matajee Gupta Vrindavan DD: "I was invited to the ecotruly park outside Lima, I stayed for one month and then back to Bolivia. Then after 3 months I was planning to go to Ecuador, but stayed shortly in Eco Truly Park and there I Met Gurudeva and he invited me to Banios in Ecuador Jardin Ecologicos Vrindavan. There started my spiritual life and I stayed for 4 years" Gurumaharaj: "Gupta and her husband has started a yogacenter now in Bad Homburg. A very succesful program." Krishna was the first environmentalist. He killed Kaliya who where poisoning the Yamuna. Krishna couldn't tolerate this. Siddhanta Prabhu now tells his story how he came to Krishna consciousness. "Thank you for this oppurtunity to share my experiences. I was born and raised in the US. I began a family there. I was searching for an alternativ lifestyle to the exscessive capitalism lifestyle. My wife is from hungary so in 1990 we moved to Hungary. I started to practice Yoga and met some very nice yogateachers in budapest and started to go very deep into the practice of Yoga. I had sstrong desire to purify myself and began a very strong sadhana and started to study. So finally I came in contact with Bhagavad Gita as it is. After reading this I was so moved by the experience that this is something special. I went to the ashram in Budapest but was missing the Yogapractice that I was accustomed to. Later I found another book with Srila Prabhupada. So I went to the ashram connected to this book, it wasnt ISKCON. I expected a lot of devotees running around, but there was only Keshava Maharaj and I really liked the atmosphere. He said that I had come in a perfect time because Gurudeva Paramadvaiti Swami was coming. First I had to go to hospital because my knees where destroyed from all the yoga asanans. Finally I met with Gurumaharaj, he took his garland and put it on my neck, he asked me where I am from. Then he brought me out on the square for a harinam and I see this as my real entrance into this family. In the US I got some property from my mother in New Hampshire. Gurumaharaj adviced me to stay with the devotees in Hungary. But I went to US and established myself there for 6 years, then Gurumahraj came and we decided to make a temple there. So we started this bhaktiYoga center. At one point I was feeling very lonely, deprived of association with devotees, so I was crying to Krishna to get association. Next day there was raining a lot and someone called the bell at the door and outside where 6 nepalese people looking for a hindu temple. And they said that 60 more families would be coming soon. Next speaker, Draupadi DD from germany
"We are happy because the matajee ashram has moved to the big temple and now we can live close to Krishna and make more and more service together. We are working with the vegetarian club serving prasadam. We have been going to festivals with the spoonrevolution. The plan is to now soon move the deities to the new house. Gurumaharaj: The new temple is very nice. With Swami Maharaj we have plans to start a vaishanva education center there. The vishnuoriya ashram and the brahamchari is actually the only dignified plavce to live. The only only only reaso nto not ligve in the temple is to have an excellent excellent grihasta ashram. Otherwise, if the women are not married, where are the women going to go? This environment is so beneficial.
Bhakti Shakti dd is a good example, she turned her apartment into an ashram and now there are many deovtees coming from there. You could not make me leave the ashram if you beat me with a stick. In an ashram you have to stop being egoistic. Its hard, some people are spoiled, they are used to get everything. In an ashram noone even has a bed. This is progressive and it makes people happy. Also the carbonfoot print is smaller by thise living in ashram. (Guruamahraj playing a CD from the la serena devotees, glorifying their beautiful programs. They have a bakery, a theater group and so much life in their preaching. Krishna consciousness in the chile way. Next speaker: BrahmaSamhita: In sweden we made a lot of sankirtan. We made a comicbook but now with spoonrevolution sankirtan is even easier. You bring the person to a feeling of contributing to something nice. In bulgaria we have 50 of the Okis made. Devotees are working on this there and next step is to make these leaflets. In sweden we have a BIG wooden spoon, and made the spoon into Oki. So we went with this spoon to the street and approach the people with the small animals (who also have wooden spoons). Then one of the animals are beatboxing and the other sings a rapsong. With this funny approach people are happy to contribute with a spontaneous donation into the Oki spoon. In Bulgaria we are making ayurveda course and yoga course. We are planning now to make a VEDA slovena park. So we will go now up into the Mountains to look for land. Gurumaharaj said once: We are dreaming, but finally the dreams becomes reality...." For me as I grow older and has increased my duties it is my principle way to always reamin in contact with all of you, beacause I want to remain in contact with all of you. I like to be with you in the temple, to go on sankirtana with you, to design the farms together with you, I like to teach you mrdanga and karatalas, I like to touch your heart, so that you will receive the visitors with much love. Sometimes big temples have less attention to the individual, because everybody thinks that he is so busy and has no time to take care for others. This happens sometimes in big programs, but our goal is to receiave verybody nice. So I would really like to be with you in all the different tasks you are prefomrning. All this is my heart felt desire. I like to be also there with the faremers, to grow organic food. I like to be also with our pujaris,and attend our lordships with the utmost attention.
I like to be also with you on harinama, singing in small groups and well equiped with preaching material. And atract the people in this way. I want to be with you, when you are designing your web sites, when you are preparing your sunday feast, or when you are sending out your newsletters. In this way I really like to be with everybody, but in practice I can be with you in my medidation and sharing with you, what krishna inspires in me in this moment. Since we have a family with a very international character, you can enjoy the success of the preaching in any country. In a real family, you always becoase happy about the success of every devotee. I see my service as the one of a trubador. This is a person who is going around and singing the glories of the devotees and my spiritual master and the srimad bhagavatam. As a sannyasi actually I do not have to do anything else. Of course I can also help in administration. Therefore I am always stressing, to make the projects very tansparent. Purity is the key for our success. As I travel around and meet the devotees, every sunday I share with you, what has been given to me by krishna grace. Like he gave us this one week of nandafalva 15th mela. He gave us a celebration of 30 year since the founding of this eco community. And he gives us the companny of so many wonderful people. Even some godbrothers have come to join us and sadhu maharaja has come, since fortunatelly te dole-mela does not fall on the same date. It is my message to the devotees, which I send every week, just like we are giving class every day. And we really hope, that those who are our disciples or who feel inspiration from the preaching, to stay in contact by at least reading weekly this message. Of course the answering of questions has become more difficult, but if you have questions, you can alsywa ssend them thgourh my secretary and you will get the answer.
Many devotees can not be on the chat, because sunday is the main preaching day, but they can read it after. This use of technolg in the service of our spiritual master, has been a wonderful facility, krsna has given to us. Thourgh that I feel very much connected to you. Even if I can not visit your temple very easy. In the times of srila prabhuda, many tempe he had, he never visited. And we got messages from him very rarely, beuase this modern facility was not available then. Now you can listen to more classes of prabhupada, then what we were abel at that time. And od srila sridhara maharaja and of srila puri maharaja. I mean not be be inspirited is just because you are careless.
The topomost inspirationional materilal is always awailable. Of course, we al have a struggle with maya. Maya is always nocking on everybodies door, but the inspiration we are getting form the great acayas, is so imporntant. If you take shelter of this inspiration, you will be able to remain a devotee for the rest of your life. You have to remain a devotee. Otherwise, how can you guide your children and friend towards safety. How can you give shelter to others, if you have no shleter. So the real shelter is sadhu sanga. But the connection with the spiritual master is very importat, and it is my whish, that everybody I s happy in our spiritual family, and that everybody who like can take spiritual responsibility.
