Distrbuting Prasadam is distributing love of Krsna

Bhuktankam Bhogotam Rekha Premantam Sarvatttama Jagatik Kriya Brahmanda Krsna Kriya Parameswaram A line that is drawn between fighting for food and enjoying food is the line of endless supreme love. This universe is full of material actions but performing material actions on behalf of Krsna is achieving mercy of supreme Lord PURPORT: Why people fight for food? Because they are very hungry and want to fill their stomach. When one fights for food to fill own stomach is material action because hunger is from material mode of life. Hunger is automatically created because of material action. Simply, this whole universe is full of material actions. But when this same food is offered to Lord in supreme love and served to devotees as prasadam then it is enjoyment. Similarly when material actions are performed in our everyday life is offered to Krsna as doer then the same action becomes enjoyment. Thus the supreme endless line between enjoyment and fight is the action of love. If one can cross ...

Krsna offers unconditional love and devotion to His devotees

Abadhutam Sarbgra Netram Krsna Mat Sarvapori Prakasayet Brahmana Bhakti Prema Bhakti Sarvapori In front of my eye every where I can see great liberated souls. Among all of them Krsna is only Supreme Lord. Whatever is offered to Krsna by Brahmana in devotion only Prema Bhakti is supreme offering to Lord PURPORT: Brahmana is knower of supreme one. Among all liberated souls Krsna is only supreme Lord. Thus Krsna is worshipped even by all liberated souls who are knower of supreme. That's why Krsna said that it is visible to Him all liberated souls in front of His eye. But those who know Krsna as supreme Lord they are called Brahmana. Those Brahmana who are supreme among all liberated souls they only offer unconditional love and devotion to Krsna. Whatever offered in supreme love and devotion, Krsna accepts those offering unconditionally. Thus mercy of Lord Krsna is poured within heart of all supreme devotees unconditionally such that they always feel supreme love and devotion to Krsna....

Invisble love of Krsna in Vrindavan

Adrisya Bhojanam Ante Na Karana Kriya Hari Paswanti Premaha Vrinde Gopi Natha Na Driswayet It is similar like Lord remains invisible while accepting food stuff offered to Him, one can feel love of Vrindavan though Lord of all Gopies (Krsna) is remain invisible PURPORT: Every year all devotees of Lord celebrates many festivals through out universe to enjoy Lord's pastimes. In this current month of Vadra there are many festivals like Jhulan, Balaram's appearance day, Krsna Janmastami etc. Many devotees through out universe in material and spiritual world celebrates these festivals with highest devotion and love. They offer various types of food stuffs remembering Lord and His pastimes. Though Lord remains invisible but Lord accepts those love and devotion along with food stuff offered. Similarly Lord of Vrindavan Krsna, Balaram, goddess Vrinda, Radharani and asta Shakis including mother Yosoda and Nanda Moharaj offers their unconditional love towards heart of devotees. That love ...

Hari is Krsna

Uttariya Sarva Yuge Uttariya Hari Krsna Nam Krsna Gyan Krsna Pran Hari It is like the upper garment that wraps the spiritual body that is Hari. Name of Krsna, wisdom of Krsna and soul of Krsna is Hari PURPORT: It is the custom that during worship, priest wrapped their body with a cloth normally known as Uttariya. Many Vaisnava prefer to wrap their body with a cloth that is printed with Hare Krsna Mohamantra. Similarly spiritual body of Krsna is wrapped with Hari. Hari is name of Krsna. Hari is wisdom of Krsna. Hari is soul of Krsna. Thus ultimately that is Hari who is Krsna.

Krsna is the supreme holy name within desire tree of perfection

Vaidagdha Ipsitam Vrikhya Kanahya Pujya Nama Param Krsna Mat Sarbargyra Sreya Tatas Siddha Tatas Moti In the supreme desire tree of perfection, name of Kanahya (Krsna) is worshiped as supreme name. To me Krsna is only supreme one. That is my wisdom and that is my desire PURPORT: Lord Balaram and Krsna are two brother within one soul. To Balaram, Kanahya is always supreme and desire one. Thus, Balaram says, in the supreme desire tree of perfection, name of Krsna is only holy name. To Balaram, Krsna is the most desire one and supreme. To Him that is His perfect wisdom and that is His supreme desire. How come Balaram loves so much Krsna? To understand this the word "Vaidagdha" is key word. That means one who is perfect Siddha that is fully boiled. One perfected soul is fully boiled within heat and water of Krsna. Just to cook any food stuff one needs to supply heat and water, similarly to achieve perfection within soul one needs Krsna's mercy and Krsna Consciousness. Thus Kr...

Hari takes all responsibility of action through out universe

Kirtiman Kirteswara Bhakti Vabet Siddha Samat Mahi Tat Guru Mat Pujitam Brahma Glanir Na Bhavet Samudhayam One can become achiever of perfection in action and glorified through devotion by finding all root within me. O Lord of fire, don't take blame when the creator Brahma worships me as His spiritual master PURPORT: How can one achieve perfection in action? The simple answer is worshipping Lord Hari as one's spiritual master. Lord Hari is root of everything and root of every action. Thus Lord must be considered as supreme root of every root. When one worships Lord finding every roots within Him one automatically becomes glorified. In that context creator Brahma always accepts Lord Hari as His supreme spiritual master and worships Him. Lord Brahma is the spiritual master of everybody in this material world. Because of this Lord Brahma is responsible for every action that is performed in this material world. Even Lord of fire also accepts Lord Brahma as His spiritual master. But...

Spiritual master is dispeller of darkness within soul

Nihanta Niyantran Rekha Brihat Kalyana Bhavet Guru Tat Pujya Sradhalu Bhakta Sa Isthinat Praksha Guru By dispelling all darkness and by imposing spiritual regulations and principles, one spiritual master can provide ultimate spiritual benefit to His devotees. Thus His followers and devotees worships Him after knowing His true position that is revealed PURPORT: How one spiritual master can be worshipped who can not deliver soul? It is always spoken that spiritual success is resting by dispelling darkness within soul. Due to the material effect in Kali yuga, even perfect souls are suffering from spiritual darkness. This is only because in this era spiritual light is lesser than material light. Because of science today every body can put one electric bulb and bring light to home. But very few can enlighten their own soul. Every body is busy to enjoy material light but suffering within their own life without spiritual light. Guru is mean for giving that spiritual light to those suffering s...

Visible eye of Lord is representative of Supreme Lord

Angartha Anugya Netra Ta Pujyanti Parameswara Kirya Dhannya Kripa Vikhya Pujya Pade Parameswra Being a part of body one must take permission of visible eye, then only one worships supreme Lord. When action is glorified then one asks mercy of Lord of visible eye by touching His feet who is supreme Lord PURPORT: How is whole and part relationship? Every limbs of the body is part of whole body. But limbs can not work alone. All limbs needed instruction by visible eye. That visible eye who always watching all actions of each limb is representative of supreme Lord. Though eye is one part of body but action of eye is much more superior than other limbs including feet. That's why based on the function of limbs one limb is worshiped by less superior limbs. Again every limb is represented by one supreme worshipable deity. Though all limbs are situated on the body of supreme Lord and touching His feet one can get mercy of complete whole, but still every limb within whole takes the permission...

Cause, Action and Reaction that is Krsna's teaching

Sahasya Saralam Vedam Naipunya Nairliptya Katha Bakyanta Sa Ukti Krsna Krsnartha Anukta Katha After a great laughter it is like one simple Vedas that teaches the skill of non attachment of soul. At the end it was spoken by Krsna but that's meaning was not spoken PURPORT: Without laughter there is no life. Thus laughter is part of spiritual life. When some one laughs then either one has understood completely the intelligence behind or not understood at all. Thus, laughter is symbol of understanding that is not understood. That's why in end Krsna had spoken and everybody laughs because no one understands Krsna that is not spoken by Krsna. Again source of laughter is Krsna Himself but not seeing Him face to face, one can realize Krsna's teaching as it is because Krsna had spoken. Thus reason is that Krsna's word is Krsna's laugh and that is His skill. The meaning is very simple because every one knows that the most simple thought is the expression itself. Every express...

Krsna is provider of perfect fruits of action

Isthita Kaya Monobalam Bakyatitam Pratiphalam Krishantam Yogo Jivanam Purna Vrikhya Phalam Prada One who is master in body and mind, which is beyond any expression of words and images, that which is endless Krsna, the living force of every soul, that which is the complete universal tree is provider of every fruits of actions PURPORT: Who is the provider of fruits of actions? The simple answer is Krsna. How is Krsna provider of fruits of action? Because Krsna is universal tree of fruits of actions. What is the proof? The proof is, Krsna is endless and beyond of any words and expression. But that is not the right answer. The right answer is, Krsna is the master of body and mind who is the living force of every jiva soul. That’s why Krsna is universal tree of fruits of action. Krsna is the living energy within every soul. If Krsna departs from the body, the body is dead. Similarly, even for living entity if there is no living force within then that living entity is dead though it has stil...

Coal Vs Charcoal

Tapaswya Paramantam Virjam Bhaktiswya Paramartha Sreya Gopaya Gopiya Nityam Brahmagya Brahmatma Deham Through celibacy one must achieve energy of Lord and through devotion one must achieve supreme Lord as ultimate goal. Those who are cowherd boys and girls, they must be knower of supreme Brahman Hari and also become a soul full of wisdom of Brahman becoming Brahmatma. PURPORT: What is the ultimate goal of Tapaswya? Those who are Brahmachari and going through celibacy by practicing sense control , their ultimate goal is to achieve spiritual strength that becomes source of spiritual heat and energy. It is just like charcoal. A coal that is one hidden under earth which is the body of living entity and after many many years in certain condition it transformed into coal. When it is removed and burns, it generates heat and light. But when this same coal that is extracted from mine and processed with certain condition, it becomes charcoal. Charcoal generates more heat and energy than its cons...

Spiritual dynamics and material dynamics

Purnat Hari Nam Jannena Hari Brahmascha Brahmana Paramat Pabitra Antartamanam Sa Charitra Atma Gouravam With complete knowledge of "Hari Nam" Hari is worshipable deity as Brahman of the creator of this universe Brahma. With transcendental purity in inner soul it is like unique character of every glorious soul to achieve this perfection PURPORT: Chanting "Hari Nam" is the process of perfection for materially contaminated jiva soul. In that process one can purify one’s own soul to the highest perfection. But alas, one must should have test of "Hari Nam" in heart. Mohaprabhu used to pray to supreme Lord to get His mercy such that He can have test always of His sweet name of Hari. Thus by praying to Lord in complete devotion and love, one can test the nectar of holy name of Lord. "Nam Bhava" is prayer of success for devotion to the highest perfection equivalent to enjoying Lord Himself who is the cause of all causes. Without prayer one can not feel e...

Devotional mood and chanting of holy name

Anta Bhakti Anischitam Sarva Netrani Nama Moti Kriya Mat Prabhullam Dehi Yuge Yuge Adhisthami At the end devotion is uncertain though it is visible that every one chants holy name. By engaging one into my service one can become happy in body, mind and soul by establishing me on their heart PURPORT: It is mentioned that by chanting holy name everyone can achieve supreme goal in life. But though it is visible that everyone always chanting name of Lord but how many remain completely devoted to the "Nama Bhava" until end of life? Very few devotees get such mood of chanting and enjoying name of Lord until their end. Some one give up chanting after few days, some one may be in months, and again some one within years. Thus, ultimately the enjoyment of chanting name of Lord is very limited to very very limited numbers of elevated souls. Thus, it is simple to engage in service of Lord. If one is engaged in service of Lord, one gets many ways to become happy. One can remain happy withi...

Curse of Ganga , Lakshmi and Saraswathi and their return to Hari

Premascha Parama Shakti Sudhya Shakti Haribol Ganga Radha Lakshmi Radha Saraswati Haribol Only through love of Lord, one can find supreme source of spiritual energy that makes one powerful, thus one must be purified by chanting name of Hari and chanting Haribol! O Ganga you are part of Radha, O Lakshmi you are also part of Radha, O dear Saraswathi you also chant Haribol! PURPORT: In Puran it is mentioned that Lord Hari has three consorts Ganga, Lakshmi and Saraswathi. All want to be equally favored by Lord Hari. Because of their wishes, they quarrel with each other and ultimately cursed each other. After cursing each other they lamented and asked Hari's favor. Hari became merciful and gave His favor saying that they will return back to Him after five thousands years of Kali Yuga. Now five thousands years of Kali Yuga had passed and all of them likely to return. That's why Hari reminds them that supreme love towards Hari is only way to return to Home, return to Godhead. Thus eve...

How Lord Hari is unborn child of mother of universe

Annuttap Paramathyo Lokam Tathasthu Jannottam Bhavet Tat Siddhi Jagata Rupam Tat Janna Mat Siddhi Bhavet The supreme abode of Lord is without any heat that resides within supreme wisdom of Hari. Thus achieving knowledge about that universe one can achieve knowledge about Me PURPORT: How is the supreme abode of Lord Hari? Lord Hari is the source of all spiritual knowledge. Thus, in that abode of Lord there is no heat. In this material universe always there is heat because of the material contamination. Because of blessing of science, today human had achieved knowledge that heat is generated because of resistance in mater. Thus resistance is the cause of heat and without resistance everything is conductor. Science also teaches that if there is no resistance at all in absolute zero, mater behaves like superconductor. Similarly, heart of Lord’s pure devotees are always like super conductors. How is that possible? This possible because Lord and devotees always sharing same supreme mind of L...

Path of devotion is unique path of circulation throughout universe

Ananya Gatinam Satya Satya Bhakti Punarjanma Kabyatitam Bhakti Brahman Brahmatitam Parameswaram This universe that is in motion has one unique motion of truth. That truth is path of devotion and its reappearance. The Brahman who is in the path of devotion is beyond any description within transcendental literature. Thus, the supreme lord is unknown to even the creator who is Brahma PURPORT: Modern science learned that this universe is in motion. Everything is moving in different path. But within those movements there is one unique path that is path of devotion. This path is unique because it is even not known clearly to the creator of this universe Brahma, where it started and where it goes. Within this path there is always reappearance of Lord’s supreme devotees and devotion. That is the ultimate truth. And those who are aware of this ultimate truth, they are always traveling in this path. They meet numerous supreme devotees of Lord within their traveling. Thus the ultimate goal of eve...

Applying knowledge of Hari in our everyday life is our ultimate goal

Prajanpta Prayodhik Hari Hari Bhakti Hari Janna Jatra Bhajante Hari Nitya Hari Mitra Hari Pran Applying Hari in every day’s life is better than only wisdom of Hari. In that way one can achieve devotion and wisdom of Hari. Where one always chants name of Hari, Hari becomes one’s own friend and own life PURPORT: What is the ultimate goal of life? Applying knowledge about Hari is better than only knowing about Hari. It is said that “Prajanpta Prayodhik Hari” meaning what we know from our wisdom is better only when if we apply for receiving mercy of Hari. If Hari is pleased with our every knowledge and its application, then we can get highest joy in our heart. That’s why applying Hari in every day’s life must be ultimate goal in our life. Because from this we can extract love and joy every time from supreme source that is joy of Hari. How can one extract joy and happiness from Hari? The only way is thinking about Hari and chanting name of Hari. When that is done, Hari becomes our own frien...

Lord's holy name is source of all manifestations

Na Garhitam Na Prapti Na Pujitam Prema Hari Hari Nam Sarva Shakti Sarva Bhakti Prema Hari Neither in pride, neither in achievement, neither in worship can one achieve love of Lord Hari. Only by singing name of Hari always in heart, power of Lord, power of devotion and love of Lord can be manifested PURPORT: Manifestation of Lord through His holy name is always guaranteed. By chanting name of Lord Hari everybody can cross river and ocean. Even rain stops, flood ceases. Thus, holy name of Lord is always having its own power. Neither by being proud, nor by bewildering with achievements and even not by worship of Lord, can one even receive that much love of Lord. But chanting name of Lord always within heart and offering every fruits of actions to the supreme Lord Hari, one can see manifestations of Lord’s energy, devotion and love of Lord. Thus one must take name of Lord in heart and offer everything to the supreme feet of Lord. Enjoy complete bliss and love filled with joy always. All gl...

Cow is the mother of Dharma

Matrinam Dugdhavat Sariram Dhugdha Bhakti Na Pradante Kebola Antasatta Rupena Atma Janna Parivartante Though mother is only source of milk for living entity but that milk is not available with complete love, until one mother becomes pregnant and carries her own child with a complete change of knowledge about herself PURPORT: Everybody knows that mother is only source of milk for living entity. But does every mother gives milk always in full of love? The answer is No. Because milk have to come after pregnancy and when one mother carries her own baby there is lot of changes happen to her in body, mind and soul. So because of this reason one mother come to sense that she is only source of milk to her child. Similarly, cow is the mother of religion. When Pariskhit Moharaj was traveling in the forest he found one bull standing on one leg and one cow who was mother earth Herself nearer to Him. Both are getting tortured by one sudra who was Kali, Lord of this era. Though Pariskit Moharaj was ...

One must worship Hari as personal deity of worship to be with absolute

Nityanupasthitam Veda Kriya kartvya Karmani Pujayanti Hari Na Kulam Karma Vukti Mamat Pari It is like non existence of supreme knowledge of Vedas in one's actions, duties and fruits of actions. Thus not worshiping Hari as eternal deity one always suffers with fruits of actions within soul PURPORT: How come one can exist with supreme wisdom always in this material world? Is it possible to live in supreme spiritual knowledge always such as Vedas? The only answer is No. If it would have been possible to live in supreme spiritual knowledge and wisdom of Vedas in this material world then there could not been existence of material actions and suffering from material actions in this world. And that's why it is proved that it is impossible to exist in superior spiritual knowledge within this material world. But what is the reason? The reason is always variance of material actions and material duties related different material actions. Due to the variation of material actions the fruits...

Lord is the absolute controller of stream of life that is time

Purna Tat Anubhuti Sreya Jaswya Prakriti Mitra Lav Kalena Pravahitam Dhara Dhara Dairya Isthi Lav One feels completeness in heart after meeting ultimate friendship like a stream of water stops flowing after some time meeting its absolute end PURPORT: Where is the end of the stream of life? It is meeting with absolute friend that who is in mind. Just like one stream of water moves until it is completely contained meeting its absolute container. Similarly, every living entity is always looking for the absolute who can become one's permanent friend. Until one meets one's absolute end one can not stop moving. But what is that definition of absolute? The definition of absolute is to whom one is looking for? But most of the time to one who is looking for is unknown self. And that is the absolute end. Thus one is moving from one unknown to another unknown until one can find whom one knows. In this material world with time immoral one living entity comes across many knowns but their ex...

Jiva soul is like mixture of honey and water

Atmastha Bahirgata Mum Bahirgata Jagatam Sreya Krsna Mum Sarvatpalabdhi Na Jannena Paramaschiram I am within soul and outside as nature of universal soul. I am essence of whole universe. Thus Krsna is the highest realization about self and without experiencing, it is one complete wonder PURPORT: Krsna is the highest realization of soul when one realizes self. It is within and also outside. When Krsna is within then it takes the nature of self. But when Krsna is outside then it takes the nature of universal self. Thus beyond self and within self there is two different nature of Krsna. Within self Krsna can bring highest perfection to soul by understanding nature of soul with respect to self that is jiva soul. The contradiction of self is not highest self that is supersoul who is Krsna. It is like mixture of honey and water. If one wants to extract honey from water and starts evaporating water mixture, ultimately remains with nothing at end except water vapor. But existence of honey with...

Spiritual darkness and light is measured through Vedas

Moahana Asprishyam Veda Nitya Nama Hari Hari Gouravam Gorhitam Vedam Dhana Dhayna Hari Hari When Vedas becomes untouchable by great souls then it is sure that the time has arrived for chanting name of Lord Hari. When Vedas is glorified and empowered with spiritual knowledge then one must know that this universe is filled with spiritual wealth and wisdom PURPORT: Vedas means knowledge that comes directly from supreme Lord Hari. Vedas is indicator of the nature of human societies. When Vedas becomes untouchable by great souls then it is obvious that darkest time has arrived. That darkness is darkness of spiritual knowledge. And because of this darkness Vedas is invisible even to great souls. But similarly when Vedas is filled with spiritual wealth then the heyday has come in spiritual world. Because Vedas spreads the spiritual light through out universe. Thus chanting of Vedas and worshipping Vedas is completely Brahminical culture that is Vedic civilization. If Vedas is untouchable mean...

What we offer to Lord that we enjoy

Prasada Anta Shukena Hridaya Komola Virajaman Atma Janna Prakritastha Prakrita Siddha Isthitaman Just like honoring prasadam at the end of worship one devotee can get highest pleasure of worshipping Lord, similarly resting on the heart of Lord one can get highest spiritual pleasure. Thus by achieving pure knowledge of soul and resting that one wise can live forever PURPORT: What is the highest knowledge of self? How can one rest on wisdom of self? It is like the end of worship and honoring prasad. Prasad is food that is offered to Lord and Lord has taken. When one takes prasad that goes within the stomach and one enjoys the entire mood of worship. Similarly, when one devotee gets mercy of Lord and Lord takes that devotee into His own heart. Devetee always remembers Lord and Lord also remembers that devotee always. In that way the devotee enjoys always what Lord Himself enjoys always. It is the same way that Lord takes all offerings of devotees and the offering of food is left as prasad...

Innumerable manifestations are taking place always only known to Lord

Atir Nama Anirdistha Atir Katha Bhagavati Purna Stuti Purna Siskha Sarva Siskha Hari Priti That which is glorified to the highest had become infinite. That which is spoken about most had become illusionary. The complete surrender is complete knowledge and that knowledge is loving supreme Lord Hari PURPORT: If one asks what is the highest glory of Lord? The simple answer is infinity. Similarly, if one wants to know everything about Lord one ends with illusion that is Maya. Because there is no end of talking about Lord. Thus the only wise decision is surrendering to the lotus feet of Lord and loving Him. That is the end of every knowledge. One can not achieve all glory of Lord who is infinite. Similarly one can not know everything about Lord who is all sources of illusion. Thus, to test love of Lord one must love Lord Hari in heart. One's this love flows in heart one automatically enjoys test of love of God. Similarly, there is no end of manifestations of Lord because there are innum...

Supreme Lord Hari is unmanifested one and above devotion

Aajana Samvitam Hari Nitya Siddha Nitya Jannan Bhakti Bakya Visesagnya Sarva Shudhya Hari Nam The supreme consciousness that is unmanifested one is known as Hari. He is eternally existing free and full of knowledge. He is above of devotion, admiration and eternally pure that is name of Lord Hari PURPORT: The supreme eternal consciousness is unmanifested one. This unmanifested one is known as Hari. In Bhagavat Gita, Lord Krsna confirmed that the manifested universe is only one fourth and remaining is unmanifested one. Thus Lord Hari is unmanifested supreme self who is eternally free and embodiment of supreme purity, beyond of knowledge and imagination. Thus, whatever manifestations took place in this material world are always less than Lord Hari Himself. That's why it is always said that name of Hari is greater than Hari Himself that who is manifested in this universe is known. Even Lord is above devotion, simply because one can understand Lord only through the manifested universe a...
