Maharaj then preferred to take little rest as he was tired due to travel. He arrived to Boxtel via Wijchen from Rotterdam where he gave the previous day a session with the disciples and then a class at Audaryadhaam.
In Wijchen, maharaj visited Shree Ram Mandir very nicely run in the Sanatan dharma tradition by a team of pious families. 'If people could cooperate each other irrespective of their background and unanimously approach the government, building such a nice temple in Holland is always made possible' said a Brahmacari who witnessed the discussion between the temple authorities headed by the Pundit Sewnandan and maharaj. This is true. Sewnandan family came to the evening program in Boxtel.
Maharaj inquired the progress of the construction of the ISKCON temple in The Hague. Having approached in cooperation with Arya Samaj and Sikh community the permission was sanctioned by the government few years earlier to build temples side by side for each of these communities at Transval in The Hague.
In absence of any members of the executive committee, though they were invited to inform the progress in construction, I explained the progress as mentioned in the Krishna Bhakti Magazine June 15 edition.
At this moment the project is on the 1st phase, ie the 'bare bones Temple construction' and its within their's reach. This is estimated to 650 000 Euro. The 2nd phase, 'completing the construction' is estimated to 900 000 euro and the final phase of 'truly beyond temple' will cost 1200 000 Euro.At this moment the architectural design has been approved? The other two communities have already begun the construction. Naamhat Boxtel is pleased to support this project and looking for the ways to get information to engage in it.
The Hague municipality has laid the condition for ISKCON that it has to start the building construction in 2015. It is being done on the initiative of Shyam Sundar prabhu who has been operating a temple in his apartment for several years. Maharaj was pleased to hear this and asked everyone to support this temple building.
Later in the evening maharaj gave a class out of the Vedic wisdom on the importance of recognizing the soul and the level of consciosness. The happiness of the soul if pursued by raising oneself to the devotional platform will make one eternally joyous from within. This was the core message explained elaborately. More than 120 people from various background and age groups attended the symposium. At the end sumptious vegetarian meal prasad was served with love to all. It was a grand success.

Introducing speech prepared by Kesavi Gautam---
Nama Om Vishnu Padaya Krishna Presthaya Bhutale. Srimate Bhaktivedanta
Swami iti Namine. Namastey Saraswati Deve Gaura Vani Pracarini.
Nirvisesa Sunya badi Pascatya Desa Tarni.
I bough with humble obeisance to Sri Guru Maharaj, and all the swami and saintly persons also of any other faiths. My respect to elderly persons, brothers sisters and children. Welcome.
His Divine Grace AC Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada was concerned for the happiness of every individuals, peace on earth and salvation of all the mankind. In his every lectures and purports he mentioned these very fundamental necessities of life. Prabhupada presented the absolute truth that everyone needs to listen to it and learn to apply in life practically. But because of the conditioned state of our existence, one may feel the need to synthesize the teachings of Srila Prabhupada into small topics or theme and address it, so that the pursuit for happiness would be easy. The world is overwhelmed by the hedonistic approach to happiness. This hedonistic advancement is described in terms of the ‘Gross National Product’ a parameter used by the United Nations to reflect how the people are happy. WHO report states that over 800, 000 people die by suicide every year, which is one person taking life every 40 seconds. The cause is the dissatisfaction of the self. So it is self evident that material welfare cannot make one totally happy if the spiritual element is missing.
Therefore Srila Prabupada says in a lecture given on 26th November 1970 quoting verse 6 of the Srimad Bhagavatam’s second chapter:
sa vai puḿsāḿ paro dharmo yato bhaktir adhokṣaje ahaituky apratihatā yayātmā suprasīdati. Here the core message Srila Prabhupada gave is that, simply by trying to make bodily comfort can’t make one happy. Total happiness ‘ su prasidati can be enjoyed only by the happiness of the soul, through the supreme occupation- paro dharma. One can experiment this and declare that only Srila Prabhupada is right and all others talking about the way for happiness are wrong.
In view of synthesizing these valuable teachings of Srila Prabhupada, today’s theme is ‘gross Spiritual Happiness’ using, the word su prasidati although the word ‘gross’ doesn’t fit in the spiritual domain.
Blessed is this day that we have here the association of maharaj who would explain to us the wisdom for happiness universities and colleges failed so far, yet the teachings of Srila Prabhupada continues for the happiness of the soul. Maharaj we gather here to listen to you please.
Hare Krishna.

Er is gelukzaligheid voorbij de
materiële voorspoed. Daar gaat het om welke iedereen opzoek naar zouden zijn.
Spiritueel Gelukzaligheid! Een lezing verzorgd
door:
Zijne Heiligheid Bhakti Charu Swami
Maharaj
Op dinsdag 2 juni 2015
om 18:30 uur bij het
Nieuwe Nieuwstraat 7,
5283 CA Boxtel
In de huidige maatschappij wordt ons geluk en welvaart gemeten met de
beschikbaarheid van middelen om onze zinnen met onze zintuigen te bevredigen.
De meetlat, volgens VN is het ‘Bruto
Nationale Product’. Maar hoe meer we hiernaar streven hoe meer we verstrikt
raken in een netwerk van strijd om macht om onze verlangens en behoeftes te
vervullen. Iedereen strijd voor een bestaan; en dit strijden voor een bestaan
houdt onmiddellijk op als we in aanraking komen met eeuwige werkelijke kennis:
dat is spiritueel. De spirituele gelukzaligheid is eeuwig en universeel,
geldt voor iedereen ongeacht de achtergronden van de mens.
In tegenstelling tot het materiële hedonisme spiritueel bewustzijn haalt
alle twijfels weg en is gebaseerd op wetenschappelijke bewijzen vanuit de
Vedische wijsheid.Doe hier alstublieft uw voordeel me om zo deze wereld te
verbeteren beginnend bij uzelf.
Wil je jezelf daadwerkelijk redden uit een kringloop van problemen en innerlijke
gelukkig worden om eeuwig plezier te beleven dan is dit evenement bij uitstek
de oplossing.
Deze oplossingen, beschrijven we met
een thema als ‘Bruto Spiritueel Geluk’. De methoden worden uitgelegd in de lezing
van Zijn Heiligheid Bhakti Charu Swami Maharaj, een van de voorstaande
spiritueel leraar uit India. Zo’n oplossing voor alle levende wezens was gepresenteerd door Srila Prabhupada
enkele decennia geleden in Amerika en is het als succes gewaardeerd. Wilt u
ook over dit belangrijkste aspect van je leven even verdiepen?
Kom maar
langs. Vooraankondiging is niet nodig. Het begint met transcendentale muziek/
sankirtan en sluiten we af met het vegetarische maaltijdfeest.

Happiness is measured in terms of the consumption pattern and the
availability of the resources for the sense gratification. This hedonistic
advancement is described in terms of the ‘Gross National Product’ a parameter
used by the United Nations and many countries to reflect the development and
how the people are happy about it. Such advancement is external and has never
helped people because every solution given turns into the problem, a vicious circle
that takes round and round.
The real advancement is to go beyond that vicious circle. There is scientifically proven solution to all problems of life.
The solution to all the problems,
also bestowing you good health, happiness and prosperity; is spiritual. This
dynamism, we describe here as ‘the Gross Spiritual Happiness. It is universal
and above the material plane.
This is a talisman scientifically proven in |
