The true aphorism of the Hinduism

The 527th appearance day anniversary of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu celebrated worldwide on 27th March 2013 remarks the commemoration of the dawn of the true revelations of Hinduism as taught by  Him.

Hinduism presents no more the belief and practices as described by Western authors or anyone who believes in the same way as conceived in the West or by the caste conscious brahamanas of the past. Hinduism, mainly its root  the Vaisnavism, commonly known in the West as the science of Krisna or Hare Krishna is the fountain head of the zenith for peace, happiness, spirituality and love to every sentient beings, purely the love of God.  The practice of putting this science, as it is universally applicable among any races and faith background, not just for Hindus alone, has begon from the  very time and palce in India when this country was submerged in the midst of odds and edge of total extinction of this science, the source of which are the Vedas. The rule of the Moslim and later Britisch Emperors, mostly antagonistic to the Vedic culture was the cause. But what has been illustrated in the Vedas, the words of supreme echoes in its own length and proves itself unvanishable. As described in the Srimad Bhagavatam11.5.32 in the begining of the creation, the wave of this scientific revolution bounced in manifolds. The poineers are; the Lord Krishna Himself, the cause of all causes; appearing as Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu and his dearmost follower, mainly Srila Prabhupada. They both rose up from Indian state of West Bengal and shine the horizon of this wisdom on the entire world.  It was forecasted in this verse:   

krsna-varnam tvishakrishnam
sangopangastra-parshadam
yajnaih sankirtana-prayair
yajanti hi sumedhasah
Translation: krsna-varnam — repeating the syllables krishna; tvisa — with a luster; akrsnam — not black (golden); sa-anga — along with associates; upa-anga — servitors; astra — weapons; parsadam — confidential companions; yajnaih — by sacrifice; sankirtana-prayaih — consisting chiefly of congregational chanting; yajanti — they worship; hi — certainly; su-medhasah — intelligent persons

In the age of Kali, intelligent persons perform congregational chanting to worship the incarnation of Godhead who constantly sings the name of Krishna. Although His complexion is not blackish, He is Krishna Himself. He is accompanied by His associates, servants, weapons, and confidential companions.

APPEARANCE OF LORD CAITANYA
It was 1486 in the month of Phalguna (Feb-Mar) Navadvipa-Mayapur vibrated with tumultuous sound of chanting of name of the God, Krishna,  which penetrated the entire material universes and heralded the appearance of Supreme Personality of Godhead. It was lunar eclipse and everyone, even the most impious and atheists who had never sang the name of Krishna, found themselves going to Ganga and singing: Hari Hari,  as if compelled by some imperceptible force. By His own sweet will, the Supreme Lord, who incarnated as Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu to inaugurate Harinam Sankirtan movement, appeared in the midst of the loud chanting of His own names:

HARE KRISHNA HARE KRISHNA KRISHNA KRISHNA HARE HARE
HARE RAMA HARE RAMA RAMA RAMA HARE HARE

 Lord Caitanya appeared in the Yogapith where  Srila Bhaktivinoda Thakura identified and built a small temple in 1893.  It was further rebuilt in 1906 at which time he installed the Deities of Gaura-Narayana and His two wives, Laksmipriya & Visnupriya. Srila Bhaktivinoda Thakura’s son and spiritual successor, Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Thakura, the spiritual master of Srila Prabhupada built the present temple in 1934 and inaugurated on Gaura-Purnima a year later.

Srila Prabhupada AC Bhaktivedanta Swami, acknowledged by the Indian government as the most earnest spiritual vicar ever seen, brought the teachings of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu to the West in 1969 as predicted earlier, engaging everyone interested, irrespective of the backround rasing the society to the platform of peace, happiness, unity and universal brother/sisterhood. It goes even beyound, towards spiritual ecstacy and liberation from all problems of life and death.

Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu enunciated the essence of all the world religions. This essence is then distributed with love and care to anyone, in the West by Srila Prabhupada through his institute; ISKCON.

The essence of Christianity or the Bible is to love God. Hare Krishna followers loves the God absolutely without any self motives, that you can see in our centers. The essense of Islam or Koran is to serve God, and yes we do serve God day and night selflessly to please the Lord Krishna. Lord Buddha’s message is non-violence. Hare krishna are absolutely non-violent, they do not eat meat, fish and eggs contrary to what many Buddhists like those in Bhutan do eat voraciously all the animals.

If one follows the essence of the religion or follow the footsteps of the  stalwarts of these religions like Lord Jesus, Lord Mohamad,Lord Buddha, Jehova and others, the latest Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu, there will be peace in this world. A Britisch MP rightly expressed his observations at the Manor fuction that if there is any religion that is truly working for the peace and happyness of others, it is then Hare Krishna’s.

Een kort omschrijving Ekadasi

In elke maand zijn er twee Ekadasi. Ekadasi betekent letterlijk de 11e van de dag voor volle maan en nieuwe maan. Deze dag is ook als een Madhava tithi genoemd, de favorite dag van de Heer Krishna. Om  Ekadasi  volledig na te leven, zoals Ambarisha Maharaja dat deed, is erg zeldzaam. We zouden het zo moeten proberen te doen, maar worden beïnvloedt door dit huidige tijdperk, Kali- yuga . Maharaja Ambarisha leefde in Satya- yuga , en hij was zo sterk dat hij een jaar lang zou hebben kunnen vasten zonder te slapen, terwijl hij op één been zou staan, zonder water te drinken of zelfs maar adem te halen. In Kali- yuga  zijn we echter noch sterk noch vergevorderd; maar we zijn toch fortuinlijk. Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu heeft uitgelegd dat als we hongerig zijn op  Ekadasi , we wat fruit, sap of melk mogen nemen. We dienen niet voortdurend te eten. Het is niet zo dat we een liter van een bepaalde soort sap drinken, en een half uur later weer een ander soort sap nemen, om...

The time to harvest the spiritual and the material yeilds - Kartik

The auspicious month of Kartik, (8th October to 19th November) more popular known as the Month of Damodara, is here once again heralding the spiritually enlivening ‘Festival of Lights’. Its the month for harvesting material yeild from the corn, maize and barley field and also harvest the stpiritual wealth by devotional service to Damodar. Mother Yasoda bound little mischievous Krishna with ropes to the grinding mortar for having stolen butter and thus He came to be known as Damodara. The significance is in that the Lord of the Universe can be bound only by the rope of pure love. During thus Damodara month, devotees get the opportunity to personally offer Arati to Lord Damodara with ghee lamps and sing the very enchanting ‘Damodara astakam’, to receive the special mercy of the Lord. The Glories Of Kartik month “Pure devotional service to Me which, because it places Me under My devotee’s dominion, is very difficult to attain, is easily attained by following this vow in Mathura dur...

Loving Exchanges with my Dear Godbrothers‏- HH Bhakti Caru Swami Maharaj

6/6/13 Santa Barbara, USA, .  Dear Devotees,  Please accept my best wishes. All glories to Srila Prabhupada. A few days ago when I got to know that H.H. Giriraj Swami Maharaja was in Santa Barbara I decided to cut short my visit to Sacramento by one day and visit him. My initial plan was to spend two days with my very dear godbrother Udayananda Prabhu in Sacramento. When I informed him of my change of plan, he was not at all happy but when I explained the reason he understood my need to visit Giriraj Maharaja. Fortunately H.H. Indradyumna Swami Maharaja was also present with Giriraj Maharaja. He spends one month every year in Santa Barbara to prepare himself for his Polish tour. It was indeed a spiritual retreat to meet these two very exalted devotees and very dear disciples of Srila Prabhupada. Giriraj Maharaja has a place in Santa Barbara which is about one and a half hours drive from Los Angeles. It is a very serene and beautiful place famous for ...
