ISKCON Toronto, Canada: Deity Darshan: Sunday, June 13, 2010ISKCON Melbourne, AU: Daily Class - Stoka Krsna PrabhuSrimad Bhagavatam 11.21.20 - Think of yourself as a servant of Krsna, not as an enjoyer of this material world. Kurma dasa, AU: Death is a Horizon
"Life is eternal, love is immortal, and death is only a horizon; and a horizon is nothing save the limit of our sight." - Rossiter W. Raymond Srila Prabhupada's Letters 1966 June 13 : Srila Prabhupada's Letters 1968 June 13 : "I have sent one letter to Miss Rose, try to keep friendship with her. Everyone has dormant love for Krishna and we have to give one possible chance to awaken it. I think if you flatter her a little more, she will come." Srila Prabhupada's Letters1970 June 13: "Your chanting may not be stopped; it does not matter where you chant. For chanting there are no hard and fast rules, so if you are absent for chanting Hare Krsna somewhere else, it is as good as chanting in the temple." Srila Prabhupada's Letters 1972 June 13 : "We are only able to perform tapasya if we have got knowledge. So first thing is to become knowledgeable in Krishna Consciousness, then the tapasya or voluntary life of austerity will result automatically." Srila Prabhupada's Letters 1972 June 13 : "The children should always be instructed by taking advantage of their playful mood and teaching them to play Krsna games like become cowherd boys, cows, or peacocks, and always think of Krsna by playing." Srila Prabhupada's Letters 1973 June 13 : "The difficulty is, unless we have legal possession of the land, how can we get municipal sanction for the construction? But if he gives us legal right to construct the temple, we can then immediately get sanction." Srila Prabhupada's Letters1974 June 13: "He said you are not following the regulative principles. I do not know why you should do like that. Anyway, if there are any discrepancies in that way I hope you will rectify it. If you so desire you can see me." Srila Prabhupada's Letters1975 June 13: "If our books are translated into Japanese, it will be a great help to us and to you also because it will be another opportunity for printing books. So, if you can arrange for this then it will give me great pleasure." Srila Prabhupada's Letters1966 June 12: Srila Prabhupada's Letters1968 June 12: "From India this paper has been brought to America, with this hope. I am waiting for the day when Back to Godhead will take the shape of Life Magazine in the matter of its popularity." Srila Prabhupada's Letters1969 June 12: "You write to say you are too much strained in various ways, but by your such activities, Krishna will be very much pleased. I think because Krishna is pleased, therefore you have got at last a very nice place." Srila Prabhupada's Letters1971 June 12: "So we have to adjust things. Everything is important. Not that we have to do something at the expense of something else. I cannot say from here what is to be given preference. That depends on your management capacity." Srila Prabhupada's Letters1972 June 12: "I want that the GBC leave the management of the centers to the local presidents and concentrate themselves upon preaching work. They should be constantly traveling to see how the students are learning." Srila Prabhupada's Letters1972 June 12: "In addition, the GBC men will open new centers, distribute literature, and they should always be traveling with a sankirtana party to accompany them. There is no difference between the Sannyasi duty and the GBC duty." Srila Prabhupada's Letters1973 June 12: "So, everything is going on so nicely there. So many books are being distributed. There are good prospects for a new temple. You are going to introduce three Rathas this year. This is all very pleasing to me." Srila Prabhupada's Letters1974 June 12: "It is better to stop. You say you plan to run for U.S. Congress. But for this, you can draw no money from the society. So your plan is utopian. Better concentrate on developing the brahminical qualities in the devotees there." Ekendra dasa, AU: Be Satisfied With What You HaveBali Mahārāja said to Lord Vāmanadeva: O son of a brāhmaṇa, Your instructions are as good as those of learned and elderly persons. Nonetheless, You are a boy, and Your intelligence is insufficient. Thus You are not very prudent in regard to Your self-interest. I am able to give You an entire island because I am the proprietor of the three divisions of the universe. You have come to take something from me and have pleased me by Your sweet words, but You are asking only three paces of land. Therefore You are not very intelligent. O small boy, one who approaches me to beg something should not have to ask anything more, anywhere. Therefore, if You wish, You may ask from me as much land as will suffice to maintain You according to Your needs. The Personality of Godhead said: O my dear King, even the entirety of whatever there may be within the three worlds to satisfy one's senses cannot satisfy a person whose senses are uncontrolled. If I were not satisfied with three paces of land, then surely I would not be satisfied even with possessing one of the seven islands, consisting of nine varṣas. Even if I possessed one island, I would hope to get others. We have heard that although powerful kings like Mahārāja Pṛthu and Mahārāja Gaya achieved proprietorship over the seven dvīpas, they could not achieve satisfaction or find the end of their ambitions. One should be satisfied with whatever he achieves by his previous destiny, for discontent can never bring happiness. A person who is not self-controlled will not be happy even with possessing the three worlds. Material existence causes discontent in regard to fulfilling one's lusty desires and achieving more and more money. This is the cause for the continuation of material life, which is full of repeated birth and death. But one who is satisfied by that which is obtained by destiny is fit for liberation from this material existence. A brāhmaṇa who is satisfied with whatever is providentially obtained is increasingly enlightened with spiritual power, but the spiritual potency of a dissatisfied brāhmaṇa decreases, as fire diminishes in potency when water is sprinkled upon it. Therefore, O King, from you, the best of those who give charity, I ask only three paces of land. By such a gift I shall be very pleased, for the way of happiness is to be fully satisfied to receive that which is absolutely needed. When the Supreme Personality of Godhead had thus spoken to Bali Mahārāja, Bali smiled and told Him, "All right. Take whatever You like." To confirm his promise to give Vāmanadeva the desired land, he then took up his waterpot. Bharatavarsa.net: Bhakti Vikasa Swami: equality possible only on the spiritual platformPeople say everyone is equal. How you can say equal? Even in the bird society there is no equality, in the animal society there is no equality. Then how you can make equality? On the material platform it is not possible. You have to come to the spiritual platform; then equality is possible. >>> Ref.
