The Necessity of Education 8/26/12 Mexico




Conference from Mexico.
Dear devotees
This morning we are leaving early for Puebla. The chat topic today is the need for education.
So, since we were born, we have an ear to listen, a mouth to speak and an inquisitive mind, in the same way our education is something that will be with us for life. What are the essential elements of education? That's what our research and analysis focuses on and we will try to do in this chat which has been the subject of meditation in recent days.

I've thought a lot about this topic especially after seeing the documentary "The Forbidden Education". Also in my work as an educator I meet daily with my students who have questions such as: What is the best lesson to learn and then earn a living? How can I better educate my children? How do we prepare them to face the difficulties of life? The answers that I can give vary from case to case as they depend on the degree of surrender of the devotee. For example a surrendered devotee who knows and appreciates the mission of Srila Prabhupada I would encourage more to be engaged in ecstatic service to Lord Krishna.
Otherwise I would make a general comment about education in schools looking to encourage a healthier society. In some ways they are worlds apart. In light of the research of Oida Therapy and faith education, I'm used to explaining the issues in terminology that is of common sense. There is no denominational affiliation. Since a religious affiliation or a particular instruction of a mission of a spiritual family already has a very intimate and committed nature.

It is important to be engaged in life. Committed to the community, to your ideals, to your loved ones, to your spiritual master but generally speaking in these terms it is not appropriate for the character of a community to be proselytizing. I mean to introduce ourselves in a certain style and in a way where we can emphasize to others that this is the truth; this is the clearest path to find. Somehow one plays down other paths. Like falling in love, when someone develops a love and desire to marry a woman or man in particular indirectly what is that all other women are not so important. The one you chose is most important to you and for you is the best.

This is good and nice to this person but it does not sound as exciting to others. It is because others feel excluded in some way or another. But if one speaks of the enamored family in general, then all will seem nice. But even in that way do we come to dedication. A family is created and maintained with a high intensity of dedication as is education. A spiritual dedication or rather spiritual education can only be achieved with a kind of spiritual infatuation. And that only happens when you find people who you are excited to share it with. Therefore, to make the presentation of Oida Therapy and faith education, socially acceptable, I'm using a vocabulary of glorifying the educational principle. Rather than promoting a particular cause or a particular option.

I pray to Krishna, these inspirations of mine reach good hands and that they know how to utilize them in helping society to find dedication to God as well as the true good of humanity.
Gurukula school initiated by Srila Prabhupada is a complete example of education because there is a practice of total dedication to God in a context clearly pertaining to Vaishnavas. It's beautiful. I personally went  and directed several schools for years. But people in the world find it too extreme. My desire is to create new paradigms for education based on the insights of Srila Prabhupada with the desire to present them in a more accessible way to society and to the ideals of a healing education that can be incorporated in schools. But that they are not solely Vaishnava exclusive.
We succeed in presenting the overall Oida Therapy where merit was glorifying faith and healing influence without relying purely on a kind of confession. The purpose of this is to bring God's message to a global dimension. To give more justification to this I can give the example of the Bhakti Vedanta Institute started by my spiritual master Srila Prabhupada.
My Guru maharaj put much energy into this project for his disciples to investigate and publish documents, just to prove that Darwin was wrong. Just that. But super important introductions to Vaishnava philosophy that has little to do with the philosophy or to inspire to take refuge or what name of God I will sing to implore his mercy.
So, I hope this attempt to formulate the basic principles of faith education be the beginning of a chain of materials that can be produced. I invite all of the community, teachers, educators and parents to join this work.

-The basic principles of faith educations are:
1. Life is a gift and is valuable.
2. All women are like our mother.
3. Mischief is like garbage.
4. All others are just like me, with the same rights and duties.
5. Everything belongs to nature and the needy.
6. Use things in excess are undesirable.
7. All we have and what keeps us alive is the reason to be grateful.
8. Compassion for living beings in danger is a spiritual virtue.
9. Individual consciousness units are of a different substance than to matter. There is a need to know one’s true constitutional nature first in faith education.
10. Mystical traditions treated with these tasks and positive results have to be studied.
11. The reasons and motivations of those who made disasters and crime, especially if they were justified with a particular creed, should be studied to avoid falling into fanaticism.
12. Faith education respects the freedom of each, rather than freedom to harm another being in their welfare.
13. Faith education delivers deep conviction that one is responsible for all his actions and bad actions which are the cause of one’s suffering.
14. Time is sacred and must not be wasted.
15. Faith is a gift that can guide one to find meaning in life.
16. Faith in the eternal love helps control selfish impulses.
17. Faith education teaches that one pray to God in the way one sees Him.
18. Faith education teaches to ask for forgiveness for the mistakes committed and to try to rectify those who were affected by our mistakes.
19. Faith education teaches that there is always another chance, for life is eternal, only the material body dies.
20. Faith education promotes green living.
21. Faith education teaches one to contact the inner teacher to guide one to act properly.
22. Faith education teaches that all human beings of the past and present have the same opportunity for transcendence.
23. Faith education insists that one should discriminate between that which is favorable and unfavorable for every living being and situation.
24. Faith Education concludes that one should be thankful for the food God gives us and to know that God does not like us to offer animals, except in an emergency.
25. Faith education respects all faiths that aim to improve the quality of character of believers.
26. Faith education is the joy that grows in the spirit.
27. Faith education is the longing for children to grow up happy.
28. Faith education is sincere and without prejudice towards anyone.
29. Faith education is a new chance for mankind.
30. Faith education always avoids becoming dogmatic.
These points come to me when I reflect on education.
These days I have worked on more materials and ideas in order to produce a documentary and a manual. This adds to other materials that were made in the past and now with Oida Therapy book finished they are part of a larger work.
I had the desire to work on this long ago but first had to establish the foundations of Oida Therapy in general. For faith education is the application of Oida Therapy in education.
I hope that everyone participates in this study and sends their contributions. The project coordinator is mother Sati from Arica who has been working on it a while ago. I suggest doing Forum studies of the materials that are being produced for everyone to know more about what we want to achieve with faith education.
It is Not the new program of the Gurukula temple, nor a new name to the Vaishnava education of the devotees. It's quite a project which aims to respond to secular and materialistic education with concrete alternatives. The results are verifiable.
We are working on it and hope our Lord will bless us in this endeavor.
Srila Prabhupada ki jay. Any questions can also be given to Mother Sati. I bid farewell here to attend the Sunday feast in Puebla.
Haribol.
Your always wisher
Swami B. A. Paramadvaiti.

What you don't give is what you will lose 8/12/12 Colombia




Dear devotees, this morning we meditate on the great saints of modern Vaishnavism. And we meditate more on those that were very close to us like Sripad Madhumangal Maharaj and Pisima. Pisima has his samadhi in Yamuna Kunja.
A few years ago there were some administrative changes in Imlitala Mandir, the temple of her Guru and asked permission to stay in our temple of Yamuna Kunja. We are all beneficiaries of Sri Vrindavan. So I encourage devotees to donate to connect with this nectar. And also invite devotees to go and serve Vrindavan to lose their heart there.
This day we have a great fest here with many devotees and guests. This morning we begin our class remembering our dear Madhava Prakash Maharaj. We sing a favorite song of his. Appreciate this, it’s a meditation to thank God for all that He has given us. You can see the song in written form here:
http://madhavaprakashmaharaj.blogspot.com/2009/05/agradece.html
This song we wrote with Madhava Prakash. Every time I went to Miami I was doing a new song and Madhava Prakash would film it. This is one song that really represents the life of Janmastami and the vyasa puja of Srila Prabhupada, in attachment, the presence of Mamu Lorenzo and all of you, the presence of Paramahamsa Maharaj, the spirit of wanting to serve. We have nothing to attribute to ourselves. None of us can say that they are of himself or for himself.
In India the teacher asked: How do we know if God exists? What is God? The Master said, God is there for himself and of himself, but as He exists for himself, then we are all his children and as we are all His children, He is giving to us through His mercy. If we think something is ours as if someone had a debt to us that is a wrong mentality.
Not that God owes you. We owe everything to Him. That is logical. To whom do we owe anything? We owe something to someone who did something for us. That's reasonable is it not? Have you done something for anyone? You did something for God?
It is so wonderful but since you were born and since you were a little baby, God has given everything to you. He has even given you the breast of a mother to drink milk. And He gave water to cleanse your body.
Already in the womb all was managed Unbelievable right? A manifestation so miraculous, it is really a wonderful gift. Look, there is past and future, what else is there? The present. This is a present, you have to use the present you have received. This is the greatest gift.
God gives us this food, this prasadam. He gave us the facility of breathing. He gave us the present of this song. The Song of David Jaramillo: we are children of the sun, that's another present. Sorry to say, but it is nothing new that the people who arrived on American soil were not religious. Europeans who arrived were insensitive, religious people do not cause damage rather they are mystical people, spiritual,  they respect everyone else, but they had a vocabulary as if they were religious.
You may know who is religious by the way they treat others. If someone does not treat others good then their spirituality is pure farce. I just realized, after learning about a study that ancient cultures had vegetarianism. The Germans were almost vegetarian but lived in northern Europe. Sure, there were still hunters, but many cultivated the soil.
There were not primitive as modern man says. The great error of modern man is that he thinks that the ancestors were primitive because they had no car, phone, etc... He who has the most modernized life  is the most advanced? Not so. That's a big mistake.
Then we are from the Sun, we are from the land, we are of the cosmic energy. That's the mystique of India that was Germanic mysticism that is original, that's the mystique of our Latin American countries and all people. And we must be in great union and become great friends with all human beings. That's what our meditation is. The planet needs a loving union of all its children. We are all held by the universal spirit. We are all children and all are equal. That's also very important.
Sometimes a child gets sick. Just as there are children who do not have all their power to reason, we call them children of the stars. That in one way or another they have an impediment in their body such as Down syndrome. They are innocent children; they can not commit sin because they have no mind of sinful man. These children of the stars teach us something that we are all equal. Our false intellectualism does not help in our growth, and what to say of our weapons or our money. Money does not make one a good person. If so, then all the mafia worldwide would be the best people. The mobsters have lots of money; people who work honestly do not have much money. They have enough, God gives everyone enough to live.
In India there is a saying: behind every fortune there is a huge sin. So that is why there is wealth if not there would be no fortunes.
So the most important issue is to be grateful, as the song says. Appreciate and be compassionate. Appreciate and be compassionate. Appreciate and be compassionate. Appreciate and be compassionate. What else? Nothing is more important than this issue. Appreciate and have compassion.
Appreciation is the fee and compassion is when God gives us love again. What makes a leader? The leader is the one doing the offering and then distributing to everyone. That is called in India Dana. The word Dana is very important From Dana comes the word donation. Dana means giving away freely. God is the embodiment of Dana vira, Dana vidya, the wisdom of giving the heart. Maha vadanyaya is the largest distributor of Dana, of support and of mercy. How much does a sunray have to pay? Here if you have to plug something to power it then the bill arrives shortly after. So you get your bill and Who Pays the Light? Is it the Sun? How much does a ray of sun cost? Do you know that when there is sun rays nothing will grow. You need sun's rays to make something grow.
I visited a temple of the Sun that is 7000 years old. Dionysus is identified as the God of joy. They were devotees of Dionysus in the culture of pre Pythagoras. They worshiped this form of God with the name of Dionysus or also Balarama. Orpheus was a great devotee of Díonysus. Orpheus was a vegetarian and spent much time with a harp singing the names of God.
He was renounced, walking and had a temple of eternal light and eternal light is the sun. As in Bulgaria they worshipped Vivasvan at the famous temple of Konarak. In the Vedas it is said that Krishna himself went to visit Konarak to pay respects to the Sun. Therefore the worship of the Sun and Moon are the most ancient worship. And then came those Europeans and said: All who do not worship as we are primitive and are idolatrous. Imagine, how do I change the whole thing right? Even the insult of calling people: Indians. Indians in Latin language means people without God. That is an insult. Of course, nowadays people do not understand it well, but today when discussing something with the prefix in means without. Imagine someone calls you: Hey you, without God, I am with God killing people with my sword.
And industrialization was the biggest lie, because people now run after more useless things but what has it done? Industrialization has made man become dependent on machines. Purely computers.  Sick of the head, sick in the blood. When man had not lived naturally there were no hospitals. And when they got sick, the grandmother came and gave him/her aloe vera juice. Man has created the illness and medicine to heal. The ancient medicines are beautiful. They are all very good, fantastic it is natural medicine.
In Bolivia, in Sorata, we are building an ancestral Aymara hospital. In Bonda, we have a clinic: the Vedas. There is also the new farm Goloka. Originally it was a coke farm, now a farm of Goloka. The police put a bomb, then a friend bought it and donated it to the devotees and thus it went from coke to Goloka. Goloka means land of maximum love. It's a very nice property there. You must see it; one is struck at every glance with so many bathing holes. Therefore you should be thankful for what you receive. An important issue: chemical fertilizers are killing the earth. Where they throw chemical fertilizers, for example in water, it kills the oxygen and when there is no oxygen all is dying.
The man thought: oh now we have large crops, but that is where neglect of the land begins. Many monocultures damage the land, such as coffee. We think about this because we want to return to nature, and that's when we appreciate and are grateful for all that we have received. Everything you do not give away is what you're going to lose. The offering means profit. When you offer something, you get. The principle of Bhakti yoga is the joy of giving. So we are the richest in the land, for all we receive, we give it. And this is not to say...
How many people did not come to a Vrinda center and has not received so much? All life should be dedicated to giving, to appreciating. Krishna Himself showed us this. He even went to school and offered His respect for His teacher. In giving there is life. In taking there is death. If you want to take some, you lose this wealth of wanting to care. So a mother just wants to give to her child, she gives and gives. It is also hoped for that the son offers something to the mother and without being ungrateful. Now kali yuga where children only cause parents to mourn, so we are very grateful to Prabhupada as he gave us so many ways to celebrate and sing and do service. This is my request and message today.
And now to attend Sunday festival today.
Srila Prabhupada Ki Jay
Haribol.
Your always well wisher,
Srila B.A. Paramadvaiti Swami

Atyahara, to accumulate more than the necessary. 5th August, 2012, Miami



Dear devotees,


I am back in Miami, and very happy for being able to connect with many of you in South America and to go on with our marathon.

Today we will recall a bit about Srila Rupa Goswami's Upadesamrita, more specific the second verse explanation, that talks about the 6 activities that take us away from devotional service.


Atyaharah prayasas ca prajalpo niyamagrahah
jana-sangas ca laulyam ca sadbhir bhakti vinasyati
Lets recall the topics said on this verse, explained by Srila Bhaktivinoda Thakur in a book called Sri Bhaktialoka. One of the topics touches us deeply at our sensual addictions, almost in a shameful way. Atyahara is not only about eating too much, but about more general aspects such as accumulating anything more than we really need.
The essential topic is the control over the senses, like it is said the first verse of this same book: That the person stable, able to control the different impulses of the senses and the mind is qualified to be a devotee and to share the Bhagavad Gita message.

It is where the tongue can only be controlled if is all offered to Krsna and accepting this prasadam. But the question is: What kind of food should we offer to Krsna? The answer is that all that comes from the food industry is absolutely far from the level of quality to offer God. If you only offer to Krsna different types of junk food (from the food industry), it will not be completely accepted.


The offering to Krsna must be pure and prepared by people of favorable consciousness.
We know that a kitchen where non vegetarian food is cooked is no longer satvika and what is cooked there no longer meets the requirements of a favorable offering. So what to say about industrialized food that we don't even know its origin or the way it was prepared? We must be alert with all this.

The industrialized food is full of chemicals that adds fragrance, color, to make it more tasty... Who thought that the same fruits Krsna created needed to be have extra flavor? The Lord Himself had created the most wonderful variety of flavors, smells and textures in all vegetables, fruits, grains that was given to us. I want to tell you a story I remembered about this topic:

There was a very simple shoemaker that lived with his wife and kids in a village, and he worked very hard to keep his family. He was a great devotee of Lord Vishnu and lived under the shelter of a banyan tree.

One day, while the shoemaker worked under the shade of the banyan tree, Narada the sage came to visit him. The shoemaker was very happy to receive such an important visitor. After greeting him with great joy in his home, he asked Narada if he could receive the Darshan of Lord Vishnu. Narada answered positively. Said: I have just met with Lord Visnu and he sent me here to visit you. Why did the Lord send you to visit me? Asked the shoemaker. He said to me you had a question to make, answered Narada. Confused by such an unexpected situation, the shoemaker said the first question that came into his mind: What was Lord Visnu doijg when you met him?

Lord Visnu knew the shoemaker's mind, because he is situated in the heart of all the living entities and He knows them better than themselves... He knew what the shoemaker's question was, and He wanted to teach Narada Muni a lesson to so He told him how he should answer the shoemaker's question. Narada then answered the shoemaker: Well, when I visited Lord Visnu, an elephant was passing though the eye of a needle. The shoemaker then thought for moment and said: well, only Lord Visnu could do such thing. You really believe me? Asked Narada. Don't you think such a thing can be impossible? For Lord Visnu nothing is impossible, said the shoemaker.
Look at this world! It is full of miracles: The Lord makes the sun stand up each day and the night shines every night. He makes the wind flow, the clouds float in the sky and the rivers run to the sea. So the shoemaker looked to the ground and recognized a seed that had fall from the banyan tree. Look, the shoemaker told Narada, inside this seed there is a banyan tree, so big as the tree it came from, it is only waiting to come out. If Lord Visnu can put a banyan tree inside a seed, he surely can pass an elephant through the eye of a needle.

Narada listened to the shoemaker and was surprised by his wisdom, because he could see the presence of God everywhere. Even though he was a very simple man he knew inside a seed sat a tree, in the way that Lord Visnu is inside all His creation. This way we can see God's creation is complete. We don't need to add hard chemicals. This aspect is not only related to Atyahara, but also with the intelligence, we must consider what kind of food we offer to Krsna and eat. That is why I give so much emphasis on the healthy products, organics because it is the most clean and of the best quality so we can offer to God. Because most of the food at the markets nowadays are bad quality, or cause deep harm to your health, like refined sugar for example, which is not pure sugar, but it is full of chemicals and whitener that makes it addictive. We cannot say organic food is something sophisticated, but it is an active necessity for our health.

We must consider that 20 or 30 years ago pesticides were not used like they are now, and there were no interventions in the genes of food. It has becoming a subject of lack of intelligence, because it is poisoning the Earth, the underground water, and consequently affecting the future of food. This way we can understand the cause of many diseases of these days. For this reason we must be very aware of the type of food we offer to Krsna. And that means a lot of sacrifice, but the devotee is willing to do any sacrifice to please his Lord. Hard work must be part of a devotee's life, it is healthy for the spiritual life.

The search for results with mistakes does not make any benefit. We must work hard for our children to have healthy food, homemade and offered to Krsna, because if you consume only industrialized food full of additives, you will end up addicted to it. If we don't work hard to generate organic and healthy food, we cannot talk about controlling our senses. And if we do not control our senses, they control us.

Back to Atyahara, the esential point is to not collect more than the necessary, to not wish for more than what is required. We enjoy this world in many ways, we cannot avoid it, because this world is made to be enjoyed in a way or another. You see a beautiful landscape and you enojoy it, you eat a fruit and you enjoy it. We are always enjoying, it is part of life, but beyond the joy offered to us by the world, we must control our senses. How? Taking the prasadam offered to Krsna. Only Krsna's remnants in all levels can purify us. But when we are situated in a worldly modality, of “satisfying what my senses want” we go away from yoga and all the mystical details lose sense. And this worldly modality will only bring us more constant anxiety and frustration.

You must understand the essence of this whole message and apply it by time, place and circumstance. Because fanaticism is also a type of atyahara. This material existence is full of suffering. It is horrible. That is why we must leave all addictions of sense satisfaction and fight to satisfy Krsna and to be identified with Krsna's pleasure. This mentality of sense gratification is very unhealthy for the physical aspect as well as for spiritual life. We must try to always keep simple in our ways of living. For example, in India the traders can make a lot of money, but always try to keep a simple life style. The thing is that we must work hard and be simple, this way we can do something good for others... and if you make something, automatically your life turns healthy and happy.

A devotee is always worried in controlling his senses to be able to make a better offering to Krsna, and in a very concrete way to control the mind and the senses is to focus deeply in the service we realize; where it is possible to be dedicated with all our heart and enthusiasm. This way the mind is kept entertained and happiness is developed around devotional service, because this is what is going to keep us going in this life. If we seek only for commodity in life and all our actions are guided by this, so we are walking on the wrong path. We must be motivated by the tapasya, by sacrifice and happiness. Sacrifice to conquer the most elevated goal.

There are things in life that develop very slowly, we must understand that. But if we fight for the ideals of life, we will be willing to sacrifice anything to it. Many services are connected to the development of great patience in extreme degrees. Patience is necessary at every moment. And we must develop patience for everything. A father must be a good example for his son everyday, every year... always.

There is no sense to put our ideals aside only to satisfy the impulses of our senses. The only salvation we have to keeps us is the preaching and the singing of the Holy Name. This keep us connected. Make your life an example of preaching. A preacher is not only someone who tells something or explains the philosophy very well. A preacher is a pure activist, a pure idealist... that day by day fights to live within his ideals through practicing what you preach. The only thing that can maintain us everyday is to wake up very early, to offer our prays to Krsna and to preach hard. Only this way we can turn more serious and dedicated and more and more happy.

The life of a devotee who works hard is very much protected by the constant guide of parampara. The constant guide of Srila Prabhupada, of Srila Bhaktivinoda Thakur... of Srila Rupa Goswami. We can see them as a living example of all we are talking about. They all were and are fighting for the same cause. We must be very happy and proud of being part of this wonderful mission of senses controlling.

We can see in the world how people are out of control, acting in the most unreasonable way, with no intelligence and consuming everything that is offered by the system.
We do not want to be part of it. A devotee fights to bring light to the Vedas for those who no longer wish to live in ignorance. That is why it is so important to preach vegetarianism to people.


A vegetarian preacher is very blessed, because each new vegetarian means another person controlling her senses that which in turn relieves harm to the others living beings. Prabhupada feels very pleased by it. It is by that that the bless comes. Prabhupada was always enthusiastic to vegetarianism preaching in all ways. And the most practical way to preach and promote vegetarianism is to offer prasadam to people.

We must always remember that our consciousness and heart must long to be enjoyed by Krsna. For that is why we want to control our senses, to purify and to be able to someday be enjoyed by Krsna. Preaching and making something for Krsna with the heart makes us act as instruments. This is what we long for. If we don't do anything that will help us become qualified to be enjoyed by Krsna, our life turns completely empty. That is why we must be very thankful to Srila Prabhupada that gave us this life style.

Our preaching must be adapted to time, place and circumstance without changing its essence. And you must set the rules and regulations to control the senses. Atyahara is not adaptable to time, place and circumstance especially in the life and practice of a grhasta, nobody will tell you the limits of what to do or what you don't have to do. It is you the one who must keeps your enthusiastic feeling fighting to control the senses. If we abuse the facilities we get we will end up becoming totally unprotected. The way to maintain protection is to remember that everything comes from Krsna and He is the origin and the end of everything we have and do, He is the final enjoyer of all.

Everything we have comes from the Grace of Krsna, even the smallest cent in your pocket comes from the Grace of Krsna. Laksmi Devi surrenders to the lotus feet of Krsna. So, we will always be tested. But you can save yourself by remembering that everything comes from Krsna and being willing to receive only His mercy. Remember that spiritual life is made of details:

Every little detail can make you go forward to Krsna, or every little detail can make you slowly fall. So if you are feeling any lack of enthusiasm in your spiritual practicing, it means that you are not being really profound. You are not meditating deeply when you sing the Gayatri, you are not crying internally while singing your rounds, you are not being thankful or praying when accepting the prasadam, you are not asking the Lord enthusiastically to keep you engaged in service. You are not paying attention to the details, and the details are what make up the day. This way you can evaluate if you are surrendering or not. And always, always, always keep yourself protected from pride. Because pride is the symptom before the fall.

Keep your senses strong in devotional service. Protect your senses surrendering them to Krsna by all kinds of devotional gifts: like sadhana bhakti, prasadam, worship to the deity, responsible and enthusiastic devotional service. If you are not disciplined life turns ever more difficult. For this reason you must train and qualify yourself. The occidental culture does not teach the true qualification and the sacrifice, it only teaches us to enjoy since the beginning and to turn completely unconscious of the affects of thoughtless enjoyment. Krsna said in the Bhagavad Gita (6-16):


naty-asnatas tu yogo sti
na caikantam anasnatah
na cati-svupna-silasya
jagrato naiva carjuna


Oh Arjuna, there is not possibilities to become a yogi if you eat too much or too little, if you sleep to much or not enough. Because to eat and to sleep are day by day subjects, so we can even say that if not controlled we are diverting daily from the appropriated course of things.

That is the way, my dears, you must maintain yourself day by day, connected to the mission of your heart, that our Srila Prabhupada brought.

Here ends today’s message. Always very happy to share with you, I leave you all my affection. If you have questions you can make them through Pancatattwa Das.

Jay Srila Prabhupada.


Your always well-wisher
