Universal Love Activists 9/30/12 Lima, Peru

Dear devotees.

Being a conscious activist means having a burning desire to change bad situations of this world. And to change the world means to seek a higher taste. The Higher Taste is within each of us; it is there in our heart and manifests itself in different ways.

Appreciating the value of family, healthy food, art and beauty in nature, and living a healthy life in harmony with the environment these are clear examples of superior taste or appreciation of everything wonderful around us. To "change the world" we need strength and enthusiasm, determination, patience, capacity for forgiveness and above all, free from prejudice and fanatic mentality. This requires us to grow internally and become real human beings who cultivate universal values ​​, as well as working constantly to raise our consciousness. That is the potential that God gave rational beings like us. The first and most basic step to join this platform is to stop harming others for personal gain. And for that, it is essential to become compassionate towards animals and seize harming them just for sense gratification. It is then that we enter the area of ​​universal respect and love between people.

A characteristic of those who want to change the world is that they constantly feel that life is a gift; this is another practical example of having a superior taste. And those of whom possess this ability, should shared it with others and educate them in such good values. When higher consciousness is shared with others and together one begins to understand the philosophy of love, life becomes an endless bliss. At the time that a person purifies his vision and connects with their potential, that person understands that they are a part of a universal family where we are all brothers and children of the same Creator. That, without a doubt, is certainly a great joy that fills the heart with bliss. There are so many things everyday that we can analyze and conclude that they can be improved upon. For example:

We go down every day by the same elevator or stairs, but we do not greet anyone ... We do not know the name of our neighbors. We have forgotten how to communicate well with the environment, because the language we use has adapted to what television and Hollywood movies offer us in their stories full of intrigue and profanity. We can say that we practically speak meaningless, without depth and without awareness of what is going on around us. Changing the world means first to start with an intense internal change and we must become conscious, responsible, caring and committed to the existence of others. Every action has a reaction is a law that we must always remember, because we are subject to the law at all times. What you get is simply the result of what you have given to others at some point. So everything we do that causes suffering to others, only serves to reduce and blind humans that they become so cruel and insensitive covered by the mantle of oblivion. They end up leaving values aside which initially belonged to the very nature of being rational. Thus, it is in the most crass manner that people begin to turn in favor of the suffering of their own children and abort them, harm animals, pollute the earth and live in complete absorption of the trend of this era: the "no matter"= I do not care ...

One has to take a few minutes to stop and reflect on all these facts to realize that we are walking down the wrong path. We must leave it behind and join all those who want to change the world. Every revolution requires a resolute attitude. So we should abandon once and for all those habits that the system has imposed on us and that only hurt our progress. No excuses, we start today and take action on the matter. Immediately we will feel a deep joy because we will be acting in connection and benefit the world. Thus, we must also educate our children in being responsible for the integrity of the planet and to protect the heritage of future generations.

In this way we share the joy and gratitude, so that together we can develop a higher consciousness and fight to protect Mother Earth. This is my message today. Do not miss a minute, because we have nothing guaranteed in the future. The only sure thing is the effort that we can put in now to become real activists, activists of heart and consciousness. Activist means acting in a consistent manner with the common ideals in every aspect of life.

With this post I bid farewell, never give up this battle; do not take a step back, even to gain momentum.

Jay Srila Prabhupada.

Your always wisher,

Srimati Radharani 9/23/12 Colombia

Dear devotees, mothers,

    Today we are celebrating the most important day of the universe, the appearance day of Srimati Radharani. Since yesterday we meditate on this supreme love, to be in love with bringing Krishna happiness, to make everyone happy in Krsna consciousness. This meditation leads us to understand who Srimati Radharani is in our life. Who is Krishna? Who are we?  When will one see that Radha and Krishna give us our spiritual birth?

    Divinity has its own design. We are children of this love. Sri Krishna is our father, our mother is Srimati Radharani. To understand the role of a mother in the design of God is to understand the ultimate expression of generosity that is in the world. All a mother does is give. The perfect model is Radha and Krishna. It is a love that is not of this world. Sri Radha and Krishna are eternal lovers and have children, how to understand this? When Krishna went to Dwarka he married 16,000 princesses and had children with all of them. But we have never heard that he had one with Radharani. So where is the product of this love? It is we, the souls of this world. And that brings us to an important point.

    Love is demanding. I’m not talking about abstract things. The love of Sri Radha and Krishna for us is manifested by the love of Lord Caitanya. He founded a mission along with Nityananda Prabhu, a mission of love by many names: Vrinda, Chaitanya Gaudiya Math, but all are one with one name: shelter. When you want to enter within this mystic and this comprehension: Sri Krishna is the eternal servitor of Srimati Radharani and Srimati Radharani is the eternal servitor of Sri Krishna. You have to become an eternal servant to them. We must be in complete identification with their plan of happiness for all. Sarve sukheno bhavantu and that is that you commit to all, where humanity needs help.

    This is how Radha and Krishna want to become involved in your life, in the very same manner in which you will link with the world. Not that you're apart from the world, no it is in what way you are committed to it. Nobody is apart from Krishna essentially. Everyone is encouraged to have a share in the divine plan. And this is something with a lot of substance, we need Srimati Radharani, without her we cannot live. She is the one that provides the need for us to serve others. I will give an example:

     The temple president preaches and many people come by his preaching. When someone comes and says: I want to serve. And the president has engaged him in service it is in this connection when all this love manifests to Srimati Radharani. It is when you give your attention to all those who are in need, when you attend the people who need care, when you feel part of the plan of the world's need for divine love. So, parents, dad and mom should pray for their children to be servants of Radharani. I want my son to become a servant of Radharani. The temple president also prayed for the same, the spiritual master also: I desire that all my children, all my disciples become true devotees of Radharani.

     We are all part of the divine circulating energy, Krishna did everything perfect. He wants us greatly. We cannot reproach anything. If there is something that apparently is not pleasant for us, be positive because that's also part of God's plan. Srimati Radharani does everything to make Krishna supremely happy.

I renounced my liberation to help others. In Krishna consciousness we need to understand that the most valuable things are to make others aware of Krishna. Do you want to enter the camp of Srimati Radharani?  Do you want to be part of the intimate group of Srimati Radharani? Then you must want to run to help others. A devotee of Radharani is someone with a strong desire to show others the path of spiritual love to stop suffering. Your task is to work on the spirituality of others. An intimate servant of Radharani is one that is fully committed to the urgent needs of this world.

     I repeat this same concept many times to confirm to you that there is no other understanding or revelation more intimate. Not that other yogis who were elevated had other spiritual realizations. Srila Prabhupada, Srila Sridhar Maharaj, Srila Puri Maharaj gave us this same understanding and my duty is to deliver this revelation today.

     The birth of Srimati Radharani is a very intense drama. When she was born she did not open her eyes. Any parent can imagine this. Radharani's parents had a great festival for the birth of Radharani. In the king's house, Vrisabhanu had a great festival and the parents of Krishna were invited. They also brought Krishna and when Krishna arrived Radharani opened her eyes to see Krishna and she expressed this love that we're talking about. A momentous love, love at first sight. Only by Radharani's eyes can one see Krishna. Without the vision of Radharani, the cosmic mother, the mother of devotion, the sum total of all ecstasy and mercy, you cannot reach Krishna. If your service to Krishna is not a service to Radharani, then do not think that your service will be considered by Krishna.

      Today in Medellín we make a special offering to Radharani: the book of the Inbound Yoga system. It is a book that also manifested here with the help of mother Raval who worked on this book too.

Therefore we continue the festivities for Srimati Radharani. It is a day to renew vows or offering new vows to Srimati Radharani, if you do this then it would help me a lot in my personal service to Radharani. If I can inspire you to become more surrendered to Radharani then my life is perfect, my service would be perfect. So, as a beggar of love, I urge you, I beg you, please, do something great for Radharani in this life. This is my order on this day and I look forward to this reaching everyone's heart. And that it causes a transformation so great that it also transforms this world into a happier place for everyone including animals. Begin with your own family, your loved ones, for all that those who Krishna send into your life, that's for your to give your love to them. Sri Radhastami ki jay. Srila Prabhupada ki jay. Haribol.

Your always wisher,

Swami B. A. Paramadvaiti

Becoming Servers 09/02/12 from Mexico

                                                         Conference from Mexico.

Disciples had, apostles had, the good thing of Srila Prabhupada was that he wrote a nectarean Bible. He was like a spiritual Che Guevara.

Prabhupada said, “I put into my books all that you should know”. Some of his disciples changed some things to improve the English, but for us in Vrinda family it is not a point of conflict because we believe that what Prabhupada gave us is so great, that everyone can follow what Prabhupada gave and that will not change the subject. Srila Prabhipada was clear, everything is beautiful and appealing nobody will change it.

Prabhupada personally wrote a great amount of his books,  other than conferences it is not edited by commas, or accents, for example when I write, I say “oh terrible, thankfully there are people who edit properly so I am not chastised in the Spanish school.”

We worship the substance, the essence, not even the essence, nor a book, clearly they are a basis, and even transcendental books have their imperfections. In Summation, Prabhupada left us clear guidance: It qualifies as having a prasadam distribution program, like Jesus fed 5000 people with bread, my spiritual master, and had 40 rupees in his pocket and distributed much prasadam in India and distribution has not stopped...

Look at how many have become vegetarians that is quite incalculable. Prabhupada established spiritual communities like New Vrindaban, practically in the whole world, we call them eco yoga villages, we are fighting for the planet, and the issue is very serious. How we will continue to serve Prabhupada's glories? And those who are initiated today, I feel that Srila Prabhupada called them and that it is my task and the task of Swami Maharaj and of those who want to participate.

Representatives of Srila Prabhupada, this is not easy, how will you not be a representative of Jesus, but of Che Guevara. You know what I like about Che Guevara, that he was a finance minister of Cuba when they won the battle, but he said I want to go to Bolivia and help farmers there, but he was killed. He was someone who was not looking for comfort, or being the boss of others. In those times Che Guevara was far less unjust compared to others and what they do today with the land. They had not cut anything from the Amazon and now only 25% of it is there so that people now are able to eat hamburgers. Who are the participants in this?

Fighters of love are needed and Srila Prabhupada was and his message is to go directly to the heart, straight to the jaw. We are here to do something nice for the planet and the first thing we do is carry Srila Prabhupada's message to everyone. One can lead a horse to water but one cannot force the horse to take. One feels the felicity to preach Krishna consciousness, which is a lot. I want you to feel the happiness of distributing consciousness, if you do not it is safe to say you will stop distributing Krishna consciousness. Do whatever you want to be convinced that preaching is life, preaching is Life, it is our task. Money is nothing, if you find it for Krishna then yes, do not lose friends over money. Jesus and Che Guevara were not traders, they didn’t want savings for their Bahama holidays, they were not deceiving, they were real people. Real people are not behind you, they know how to manage money ... here thanks to Krishna we are alive still. I do not know how we pay as renter to be here for so many years, here there is an administrator and He controls everything. Before going abroad I’d be called and told, you have not pay rent for two months.

It is to sow consciousness and to meet Srila Prabhupada’s desires, Krishna and humanity, this is the way things are, a loving revolution. What else can everyone tell you? In actuality, when you are initiated today I'd like for all of you to give me an offering, telling me what you do, if you have family, what service do you like doing, things like that, a small sketch. I can do that in a conversation, but it takes 20 minutes each and there are 50 of you. Each of you put in a note these details so I know more of you.

Lord Gouranga opened a command group of instantaneous love and the spirit of devotion on the planet. They recruited me. I was initiated in 1972, but entered in 1971. When you enter into an ashram you have to study at least two or three years, but in my case I was sent to preach with a small bag and paper to people and would tell them to go to the temple and I asked for a donation. However, I thought I was a yogi and should give up the money, but the president told me that if they gave a small donation to the temple then they would not become materialistic It was to gain energy.

When a person gives a donation to the temple or the deity they are renouncing materialism. The Lakshmi in India is very sacred; there is a whole Sampradaya, Lakshmi Sampradaya, Ramanujya Samprayada worship Lakshmi. We are messengers without fear, because we have to surrender to the Supreme Lord. I give to you what I love, I love the Srimad Bhagavatam, the Bhagavad Gita, the revolution of consciousness, the sun, the moon, the earth, because it is what Srila Prabhupada  gave me. We are part of this. These are my words for those who are being intitiated today as well as for those who want to know about this process, the truth is that we are your servants, count on us as servants. And those who do not become servants will not understand this process.

Hare Krishna Jay!

Your always wisher,

Swami B. A. Paramadvaiti.
