Corrected Version--Sunday 13 February 2011--Smooth Running Bhakti Express--Can Krishna Trace When We Fell?

Published: Sat, 02/12/11


The Supreme Personality of Godhead, Lord Sri Krishna, and His eternal consort, Srimati Radharani are enjoying transcendental pastimes in the topmost planet of the spiritual world, Sri Goloka Vrindavan. They are beckoning us to rejoin them.

     
Our Mission: To help everyone awaken their original Krishna consciousness, which is eternal, full of knowledge and full of bliss. Such a global awakening will, in one stroke, solve all the problems of the world society bringing in a new era of unprecedented peace and prosperity for all. May that day, which the world so desperately needs, come very soon. We request you to participate in this mission by reviving your dormant Krishna consciousness and assisting us in spreading this science all over the world.

Dedicated with love to ISKCON Founder-Acharya: His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada, our beloved spiritual master, and to you, our dear readers.


 

Today's Thought:

Smooth Running Bhakti Express
Uploaded from Bhaktivedanta Ashram--Austin, Texas USA

On 27 September 1967 Srila Prabhupada wrote in a letter to Devananda das, "Guru and Krishna are two parallel lines on which the spiritual express runs very smoothly." This is a most appropriate example because to advance in Krishna consciousness we must faithfully stick to both tracks: the spiritual master and Krishna. We must serve both of them simultaneously. If either of them is neglected, we become derailed from the pathway of Krishna bhakti. It is only by the mercy of Krishna that we get a bona fide spiritual master. And it is only by the mercy of the bona fide spiritual master that we can advance in Krishna consciousness.

Answers According to the Vedic Version:

Question: Can Krishna Trace When We Fell?


Hare Krishna, Gurudeva,

Please accept my humble obeisances.
All glories to Srila Prabhupada.

While reading "Easy Journey to Other Planets", this question came in my mind. Would you kindly clarify for me please?

Here's the quote from "Easy Journey to Other Planets":

"There is a spiritual sky, where there are innumerable spiritual planets and innumerable spiritual living entities, but those who are not fit to live in that spiritual world are sent to this material world. Voluntarily we have accepted this material body, but actually we are spirit souls who should not have accepted it. When and how we accepted it cannot be traced. No one can trace the history of when the conditioned soul first accepted the material body."

My question is that: Can even Krishna not trace when we first accepted the material body?

Thank you very much,

Your servant

Yogesh
 


Answer: There is No Question of When


Krishna, being the perfect knower of everything, knows exactly how we fell into this material existence. But there is no question of when because our fall down occurred in timelessness. In the spiritual world time is conspicuous by its absence. Therefore because we were originally situated in timelessness our original misuse of independence also occurred in timelessness.
