Without Guru-Vaiṣṇava we are blind!
So, all over the world we should circulate this guru tattva if you want to satisfy Prabhupāda. Don’t be busy with rāgānugā-bhajan right now. If there is no strong foundation of guru-Vaiṣṇava tattva then all our so-called rāgānugā-bhajan is one kind of drama. Nothing else. Even one cannot start hari-bhajan without realizing guru-Vaiṣṇava tattva—this is the siddhanta vichar of Śrīla Prabhupāda.
The Only Ideal Couple
Your task is to clearly and precisely comprehend what the substance is, and then briefly describe this substance so the reader for all time has a guideline to help him understand what the occurrence of these lila-s actually means, so that he immediately and instinctively rejects the nonsense that translators and poets offer him in the form of ”Indian Love Poetry” and similar attempts to drag the Divine through the dirt or glorify the dirt of the world
To whom you dedicate yourself is far more important than how much you dedicate yourself
Proficiency in performing activities is not a symptom of devotion to the guru, or guru-bhakti. Bhakti means to remain subordinate and submissive to the Lord’s loving servants, the Vaiṣṇavas.
We are always busy to engage Bhagavan in our own sevā
Gaṅgā Devi, having taken her birth from the Lotus Feet of Viṣṇu, is no other than a Vaiṣṇava, and as such is an object of our worship. Therefore, to try to wash away the filthy dirt of a sinner by engaging her services will be adding more sins to his credit. A Vaiṣṇava should always be the object of our worship and devotion.
Pure devotees they always have Vaikuṇṭha darśana (Part 2)
So, from all those incidents we can understand that pure devotees never feel any fear or anxiety in any situation, rather they see everything as the arrangement of the Supreme Lord. Without having this kind of feeling how will it ever be possible to do bhajan.
Pure devotees they always have Vaikuṇṭha darśana (Part 1)
Gauḍīya Goṣṭhī Pati Śrī Śrīla Bhakti Siddhānta Sarasvatī Gosvāmī Ṭhākura Prabhupāda used to say that— “The Lord Śrī Gaurasundar, puts his devotees in various difficulties and association to test their patience and strength of mind. “He also said that— “This material world is a place of painful testing.” Further Śrīla Prabhupāda told that— “When our desire matching with the desire of Bhagavan, then we can feel happy in true sense.”
Those mātājis they cannot act as ācārya to give dikṣā or sannyāsa but can give śikṣā if at all they are tattva –vettvi-viduṣi realised souls (Part 2)
Gaṅgāmātā Gosvāmīnī, Hemalata Ṭhākurāṇī , or Śrīmatī Janava Ṭhākurāṇī —they all are eternal pārṣada of Bhagavan, I mean svarūpa śakti vilāsa vigraha of Bhagavan. They are completely beyond the limit of deha dharma (dharma of material body) or mano dharma (dharma of material mind). The question or judgment of man or woman is surely only applicable in this material world (on this material platform), but still, we know that all jivattmas are śakti tattva of Bhagavan (taṭastha-śakti), though originally, they are beyond Māyā (śuddha attma tattva).
A model of humility and a fearless Guru sevāka
Śrī Kṛṣṇa Caitanya Mahāprabhu and His sincere sevāks are eternally present in Śrī Gauḍīya Math—(The declaration given by Śrīla Prabhupāda)
Sat-saṅga and Asat-saṅga can never go together
For the protection of śrauta vani vaibhāva we should pay full attention to understand the basic difference between Bhaktivinod dhara and non-Bhaktivinod dhara, otherwise we will be deprived (cheated). Śrīla Prabhupāda used to say that— “There is no alternative way to get in touch with the aprākṛta jagat except taking shelter of śabda brahma.” Now point is that how we can realize the basic difference between śabda brahma (vaikuṇṭha vani) and śabda sāmānya (material sound) which is originated here in this material world and is confined within this material range of creation.
How we can help common people to develop sukṛti in true sense
When one bonded soul in the form of sādhu vesh going into preaching field then due to their bonded condition they cannot seek any benefit either for himself or for others. If at all Nāmābhāsa coming in the form of preaching than still it is ok, but when Nāma-aparādha coming in the form of preaching then what we can expect.
