Akritrim Anischayascha Kebola Atmanam Jannam Anirvana Akutumambam Sarva Shukam Mama Deham If that is not artificial expression and uncertain then it is pure knowledge about soul. The one that is immortal and has no friend always enjoys in my body PURPORT: What is the essence of enjoyment in material and spiritual world? In material world people experimented that bodily enjoyment by performing sex is highest enjoyment. But in spiritual world the enjoyment is with pure consciousness. One conscious soul enjoys with supreme consciousness that is super soul. Both are sex, one is sex through body and another is sex through soul. Since Lord resides within every heart being immortal jiva, then Lord is highest enjoyer in every body. That's why there is no need for Lord to perform any kind of bodily sex. Even though two bodies are performing sex but Lord is within both and enjoying both together. But again Lord is not attached to any body! The bodily sense is the enjoyment of jiva but the co...

Lord Vishnu is looking in complete devotion to the knower of all fields who is Hari. PURPORT: This universe is full of knowledge. But all wisdom of every field and its action belongs to Supreme Lord who is Hari. When Brahma looking at the field of knowledge He is becoming bewildered. What a surprise! Everyday many universes are created as new. Like many new Brahmas are emerging from the spiritual body of wisdom of Hari. Thus, Brahma who is creator of this material universe is looking at Hari with complete bewilderness and surprise. O, Lord, You are full of knowledge! You are supreme person! You are creator of entire universe! But all your creations are beyond my knowledge. O, Lord, I beg your mercy. Please give me your wisdom and mercy about these new fields of all creations! Thus Brahma is lo...

Thus one must glorify Radha Krsna who is together in name of Lord Gourahari PURPORT: In this material world the glory and spiritual energy of Lord like sunshine and Lord Himself is like sun. Using modern science, scientists have found that light even coming from many remote stars those even physically not existed at present but even star is still visible. Thus even Lord though physically not existing in material body at present time, but still light of Lord is coming and even we can see the source of light who is Lord Himself. The existence of sun in the day time is not only source of light but also source of heat. Again heat is representative of performing actions and actions leads to command, command leads to authority.

Dharmagyo Dharmarthyo Namam Prema Andisthata Rama Namam O wise one, the meaning of Dharma always carries own name just like name of Lord Rama carries all sweetness of Lord in His holy name PURPORT: What is the religious importance of Nam Dharma? In Kali yuga Lord incarnated in His holy names. That message has been given by many saints, previous great achariyas including Mohaprabhu and Prabhupada. What is the significance of "Nam Dharma"? It is spoken in many discourses that name of Krsna and Krsna is not different. Thus name of Lord and Lord is not different. Then the question arises why it is so? In purana, it is told that Ajamilaa got mercy of Lord Narayana by mistakenly calling his younger son whose name is Narayana at the time of his death. Though in this material world many person have their name as Narayana but having the same name of supreme Lord, one may be engaged in various sinful activities and not become same as Supreme person who is Lord Narayana Himself. But whe...

Anirthistam Sarvantama Sutra Rupant Mitam Hari Bhakti Rupam Kalpa Vrikskha Phalaprasu Sada Hari Everything is uncertain until one proves Hari in His authorized words (verses). In the form of devotional tree Hari always bears sweet fruits of success PURPORT: Restriction and rebellion goes together. Self restrain and realization goes hand with hand. If at all ISKCON thinks about constitution then which path they will go? Currently there is so many restrictions and so many rebellions in this material world. Restriction is punishment where as realization is reward that brings self restrain. That's why realization is ultimate goal in Krsna Consciousness. But how can one realize something will make Krsna unhappy? That's why Krsna has given Bhagavat Gita and Prabhupada translated Bhagavat Gita As It Is to bring this realization in life. Besides Bhagavat Gita, there is many teachings in Bhagavatam with practical examples in life. Now if ISKCON puts certain rules that are not in Bhagava...

Anto Suriyo Anthosthyam Anto Jannam Antardhyan Bhu Bhakti Prema Shakti Prema Bhakti Prema Pran The supreme inner being that is like sun, residing in the form of spiritual knowledge though not visible. It is like the loving relationship between earth and sun that is the source of energy and devotion between every soul PURPORT: Why the inner self who is Supreme Being not visible to every soul? The answer is that, the inner self that is residing in every self is source of spiritual wisdom and spiritual knowledge. This supreme self is only visible through the eye of spiritual knowledge not by ordinary eyes. It is like the invisible force between earth and sun though it can be understood but can not be seen in ordinary eye. But that same force can be measured through scientific process and equipments and also one can see their functions. Similarly the Supreme Being also can be seen and understood through spiritual knowledge and through spiritual eyes. The processing of seeing and realizing ...

Atmanstha Purnava Deva Hridayang Bhakti Moni Yoginang Purna Bhakti Bhakta Bhakti Hari Dhwani When one searches the essence of soul one finds the jewel of devotion in heart. When one Yogi becomes dissolved completly in devotion then one sees that devotees and Lord together chanting name of Lord Hari saying Haribol PURPORT: The knowledge of soul is not completely realized until one digs into it. After digging inside one finds the jewel of devotion within heart. Then one submerges completely within it. When one submerged into devotion one finds many devotees nearby and then one together chants name of Lord Hari loudly saying Haribol. Thus essence of every soul is finding the jewel of devotion within heart. Once one finds devotion then one is called atmanstha meaning one has found one's own soul.

I am only the supreme knowledge above all knowledges for their enjoyment PURPORT: Within this material world Lord is only the ultimate source of pleasure and enjoyment. Without presence of Lord no one can enjoy. Thus presence of Lord is ultimate within the heart of each living entity. Lord resides as the potency of every pleasure , enjoyment and love within each sophisticated bodies of living entity. But instead of looking for Lord for every source of enjoyment one is looking for material world and searching all sources of enjoyment. Thus the supreme knowledge is knowledge about self. And that knowledge is devotion to Lord that is within. If one surrenders completely to Krsna who is inside within every living entity, one can get every sources of pleasure and love from within. Thus devotion is only the...

Anirbyktya Baivabhya Baykti Prakriti Nitya Janna Tat Prakiriti Nitya Bhakti Tattva Nitya Pragamnya This different nature of soul that is personified in this entire universe are because of the individual knowledge about material nature. But the eternal nature of individual soul is only pure devotion and that is only known to wise PURPORT: The individuality that is personified within individual soul is because of the different experience about material nature. It is the whole dynamics of Krsna Consciousness. The illusionary potencies of Lord is personified nature within soul but the inner substance is always submissive and full of pure devotion. One is pure gold and another is ornament that is made of gold and various alloys. When Lord looks to one individual soul Lord can see both amounts directly. The amount of pure gold and the amount of other alloying substance. Similarly when one perfect spiritual master looks at one particular individual, one always tries to find out how much gold ...

Thus through love of God one can establish Lord in heart, such that one can know His sweetness of love always in mind PURPORT: Throughout this universe every living entity is thinking how those things are happening? How this universe is created, disloved and preserved? What is the force behind it? It is simply the will of God. Without His will nothing can happen. Thus one wise should always take shelter under Lord. To take shelter under Lord one needs to develop love within one's heart towards Lord. Thus it is said "Premaha Paramsthyo". Through love one can establish supreme within heart. Thus when this supreme is established within heart, one can know the mind of Lord Hari like Brahma the creator, who always establishing Lord Hari in His heart creat...

The travel may be automatic or by walk depending on the design that may allow devotees to travel through various spiritual skys. Suppose one is living in the earth and looks down, one can see Patal Loka, Nag Loka, Ashur Loka etc. But if one starts traveling upward one can come to see Yoma Loka, Shiva Loka, Indra Loka, Chandra Loka etc. And finally one can reach to the top of the sphere which is Brahmya Loka.

Sarvoyo Rupayant Hari Bhaktinat Rupayant Prema Jannastho Rupoyo Brahma Vedantastho Brahmana Hari is present in everything through out universe in forms and names. Supreme love of Lord exists in the form of Bhakti (devotion). Hari existing in the form of knowledge of creation within heart of Brahma (creator) and existing as supreme reality within Brahmana those who realized Hari PURPORT: Hari is essence of everything either material or spiritual through out universe. Without presence of Hari no names and forms can exist. Thus Hari is only supreme realization of any realized soul that is knower of Brahmana. Hari exists in the form of spiritual love that is called devotion within heart of every living entity. When that spiritual love is expressed through material form as material love with material attachment then it is not Bhakti. But when this spiritual love transforms into devotion to Hari then it becomes Bhakti. That's why it is called "Bhaktinat Rupayant Prema". That me...

Kebola Madhyastha Midam Jagoto Sammilitam Hari Kebola Mat Bhakti Rupe Yuge Yuge Krsna Hari Only by establishing Me inside, one can observe entire universe in the form of Hari. Only by offering devotion to Me, age after age Lord is worshipped in the form of Krsna and Hari PURPORT: Nothing is permanent in this world unless Hari is established permanently inside the heart of devotees. To establish Hari permanently inside heart, devotee must engage them in devotional services to Hari. That is the recommendation given by supreme Lord. Otherwise everything is temporary. One devotee must take Hari permanently inside heart without any doubt by realizing that Hari is only supreme. Other than this, one will always be tossing between permanent and not permanent. Thus there is no straight forward reply even from various religious scriptures that what is permanent in this universe other than supreme Lord Hari. Those who has realized what is permanent, they only finally realized that Lord Hari is on...

Na Cha Bhuddhi Na Cha Kriya Na Prakrita Vidya Janna Janna Prakirta Atama Janna Janna Kebola Bhakti Dan In this material world nothing is real, neither intelligence, nor material action, even not the education related to material life. Only the absolute knowledge is knowledge about self. And that is pure devotion through self realization and bringing others towards devotional services to Lord PURPORT: Why Prabhupada did not write Himself any constitution that is permanent for all devotees? Does Prabhupada one fool? When He could write so many religious scriptures why not He wrote constitution Himself? The only reason is that even constitution is not permanent and can not be applied to everyone age after age in this material world. Even so many constitution is written by so many countries in this material world but every day they are going to change it in senate or parliament. Those rascals are fighting for many changes according to their material goal. That's why any type of constit...

Nidrastha Rupoyo Bhakti Kebola Sithita Sariram Jatra Prida Tatra Bhakti Bhakti Kebola Prema Jannam In the form of sleeping self Bhakti is residing in everybody. Only through pain one can realize presence of Bhakti who always provides loving touch to sleeping self PURPORT: How can one see presence of Bhakti within self? It is realized by many many sages that Bhakti is like one sleeping self residing within every body. She is sleeping as long as no pain is felt within one self. But as soon as one feels pain within one's heart Bhakti is aroused. That time one gets Her loving touch and one becomes aware of presence of Bhakti. Thus Bhakti is like mother of every soul who gets up seeing Her child to suffering in pain and crying for Her. Without feeing Her presence within self it is impossible to know the presence of supreme love within us. Thus Bhakti is called mother of sufferers. But the question arises why one should suffer to feel presence of Bhakti and what level? The answer is, Bha...

In Bhagavatam there is so many examples of supreme devotee of Lord Krsna. Those who have become most favored devotees of Lord, they always followed all foot steps mentioned by previous realized souls and achariyas. There can not be any alteration or addition to the spiritual path that is realized earlier. Only devotion to Krsna ...

Adastam Bhakta Vrinda Samaveta Jaya Hari Krsna Mandiram Bhakti Prema Mandiram Hari Being doubtful in mind all devotees are chanting holy name of Lord Hari. The temple of Krsna is place of devotees and supreme devotional practices but the temple of Hari is for distributing supreme love as a gift of devotion to Ksna PURPORT: Why one becomes doubtful in mind? What is the significance of life and what its goal? Many had tried to understand the spiritual meaning of Krsna and Hari. Some one thinks Krsna and Hari is same, Some one thinks Krsna is incarnation of Hari. Again some one thinks Krsna and Hari together in one. Everything is correct because the supreme spiritual reality is always same and one. Thus it is also correct that every jiva soul is not different from Krsna. It is part and parcel of Krsna. It is like one enters to the temple for prayer to Lord. After worshiping Lord with complete devotion and love, one receives Prasadam. Now entering to the temple and offering prayer is worsh...

Anityam Sthita Kirti Sukirti Sunama Jaya Prama Bhoganti Kirtyani Krita Karmani Prema Bhava In this unreal material world these actions are real actions these are glorified to the highest reputation. That action is superior action which is performed with highest spiritual love towards Lord PURPORT: Any action that is performed and glorified by other for the mood of highest spiritual love towards Lord is action of highest reputation. One must perform such action always in loving mood. Thus only goal of performing such action is to pleasing Lord Krsna and His devotees. Whatever action that could be and whatever negligible it could be in the material eyes but these actions are always admirable. These are the actions of repute which draw others mind towards Lord. Lord is the central point and drawing others mind towards Lord by performing even one negligible action is always transcendentally pure. Such actions only can be performed in mood of loving services towards Lord and His devotees. I...

By mercy of Lord, she got sweet smells and tests of remnants of food and also Lord's love. Thus it can not be expressed how sweet this left over foods from her heart! PURPORT: Leftover food of Krsna is always sweet that is full of devotion and love. Lalita was a great girlfriend of Lord Krsna. She was full of devotion and love towards Lord. When food are cooked in complete devotion and love, Lord Krsna watches from distance and takes sweet smell of such food always. Devotees can not see Krsna standing and thinks that how much Lord will be pleased when this food will be offered. But Alas! Lord had already tested that food even before offering.

Srotoshini Nadi Rupena Prabaha Krsna Sanskrity Nadi Kebola Parampara Dhara Bhakti Prabahaman This Krsna Consciousness movement is like a river that is flowing with vigorous current of devotional water that is Bhakti. The river itself is Parampara of disciple succession and the stream is like the flow of devotion PURPORT: Krsna Consciousness is like a river that is always flowing towards the ocean of Krsna. It can be compared like the river Ganga. River Ganga itself is the container and the water that flowing is Bhakti. Similarly GBC is the container under ISKCON and Guru- Siswya parampara is flow of Bhakti through disciple succession. Most of the times, the river is unchanged in its path of travel but the flow in the river changes with season. In rainy season more water flows through the river but in summer less water flows because of heat. Similarly the devotional system that is preached and taught by spiritual master through disciple succession depends the personal relationship betwe...

For spiritual love and devotion always wear garment of that is full of Hari Nam. Thus in every garment one must put name of Hari PURPORT: Lord is ultimate protection and shelter. Without Lord’s mercy one can not enliven either in material or spiritual world. Lord’s holy name is like a garment that is put on the body. Without garment one is completely naked and don’t look nice. Thus garment is not only protection but also beautifies one’s naked body that is not exposed. Similarly holy name of Lord is source of divine beauty. By wearing nice cloth one person always looks very beautiful and gorgeous, similarly wearing holy name of Lord one is enliven with divine beauty and divine strength. A garment can protect one from change of weather similarly holy name of Lord protects one from unnatural evil atmosphere. By wearing nice cloth one is praised f...

Kriya Kartavya Baivavya Na Atiswya Paramatma Karunavya Moivabya Atmena Antarjanni Paramatma Either through work, duty or material opulence that is too extreme, one can not reach to supreme Lord Hari. But one soul that is full of kindness and remains thoughtful towards inner self can achieve knowledge about supreme Lord PURPORT: How can one reach to inner consciousness? How can one know knowledge about self? Is it possible to reach to inner self with any of the material actions, performing material duties and achieving material opulence? The answer is no. By reaching to any of the extreme that is related to material world one can not reach to supreme Lord Hari who is residing within. Thus neither one can become perfect in material duties that is related to material life, nor can one achieve all perfections in material actions that can bring every material success. Even one can not achieve extreme material opulence that could be end of all material achievements. In every history of mater...

It is like the left over food of Lord as Prasadam that distributes love within heart of devotees with His sweet words full of love that touching one's heart PURPORT: The first and foremost thing that ISKCON should learn how to offer few grains of sugar to new comer guest devotees. Those who basically visiting first time to any ISKCON temple must be cared with good heart such that they feel their first experience very sweet similar to home coming. For that reason some old devotees may take turn each time to find out new comers who are visiting temples or any other devotional services with great humility and service attitude. They should be counseled properly with greatest care because these are the persons not having...

Anuttam Jannastso Brahmana Jotisrawa Premanta Jannastso Bhakativat Yugeswra When that spiritual knowledge becomes inferior one Brahmin tries to take help of astrology to explain. But that knowledge ends in the path of supreme spiritual love always becomes superior in Bhakti PURPORT: Prabhupada’s core teaching is developing Bhakti and practicing Bhakti within every day’s life following Krsna Consciousness. Thus spiritual knowledge must be delivered to confirm Bhakti and to develop Bhakti within heart of devotees. That is always Supreme spiritual knowledge. Bhakti always needs love within heart towards everyone and how that love can grow within heart of devotees and also non devotees towards ISKCON must be ultimate goal of deliverance. So training must be imparted how devotees within ISKCON become lovable and those lovable by others, they will automatically be respectable. Love and respect always goes together. That; what ends with love that always respected as Bhakti. On the other hand,...
