Hold the Lotus feet of the Lord Nrsimhadev as Lord Ganesh did - Bhakti Caru Swami

24 May 13, A message from His Holiness Bhakti Caru Swami
Lord Nrisimhadev, Mayapur
Today is Nrsimha Caturdasi, Lord Nrsimhadeva’s Appearance Day.
In appearing as Lord Nrsimhadeva, Lord Krishna manifests as “bhakti-vighna vinasana” – He who removes the impediments from the path of devotion. Therefore it is very important for us to take shelter of Lord Nrsimhadeva’s lotus feet, praying to Him that He removes all obstacles in bhakti-yoga.
In Śrī Brahma-saḿhitā, it is explained that Lord Ganapati – Ganesha – removes all obstacles:
yat-pāda-pallava-yugaḿ vinidhāya kumbha-
dvandve praṇāma-samaye sa gaṇādhirājaḥ
vighnān vihantum alam asya jagat-trayasya
govindam ādi-puruṣaḿ tam ahaḿ bhajāmi
See BS 5.50 http://vedabase.net/bs/5/50/en
It is by holding the lotus feet of Lord Nrsimhadeva that Lord Ganesha has acquired this ability to remove the impediments of the three regions of the material world – upper, middle and lower. And that is why Lord Ganesha is considered to be “siddhi-data”, the giver of success. In the material context, Lord Ganesha removes the impediments. In the spiritual context, Lord Nrsimhadeva removes the impediments. Once the impediments are removed, then success becomes easy.
Srila Bhaktivinoda Thakur first gave Nrsimha mantra to Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Saraswati Thakura, so that Lord Nrsimhadeva would remove all the impediments from the path of devotion. In a similar mood, Srila Prabhupada also taught us to take shelter of Lord Nrsimhadeva.
On this most auspicious day of Nrsimha Caturdasi, let us surrender ourselves completely to Lord Nrsimhadeva’s mercy so that all the impediments of our spiritual life can be removed and we can achieve success in our spiritual endeavours.
Yours in the service of Srila Prabhupada,
Bhakti Charu Swami
USA.

 Naamhat Boxtel will celebrate this auspicious occassion Nrisimha caturdasi for the Lord on whose shelter we could survive. Please come. Everyone is welcome.

HH Jayapataka Maharaj I was very fortunate to have a long and intimate association with His Holiness Jayapataka Swami Maharaja since I joined ISKCON. Undoubtedly he is one of the most exemplary leaders of ISKCON today. With the sincerity he is serving Srila Prabhupada is extremely praiseworthy. As a matter of fact ever since he met Srila Prabhupda he offered himself completely to his service and the way he is serving him till today is a wonderful example for all of us. In the early days in Mayapur there were not so many devotees. Therefore, we had the oportunity to have a very close relationship with each other. Although he was the leader of Maypur, he was very humble and carin...

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...

Manav Dharma of Satpalji Maharaj will be better only IF they follow Krishna Consciousness also

OPINION By elevating yourself to Krishna Consciousness your goal of having a human form of life will be attained easily and quickly as you would qualify to get into the kingdom of God. On the earth too, you will live  in peace of mind.There is not other authentic quick and easy way. Every one needs peace and thus the human races has been in search of peace and happiness all the time. They are looking for the methods that would hopefully enable them attain peace mentally and physically. In the process some look out for the ascending order of methods, some the descendeing order. Both deserve equall respect although one method would be more beneficial and easy than the other depending on the individual themselves. The perfect wisdom to accept for peace or liberation is the descending process of wisdom. This means the proces of attaining peace and happiness by accepting the wisdom that is given by the absolute creator, Lord Krishna, the Supreme Personality of Godhead. This wisdom ...
