The Ultimate Darshan Experience
uploaded
from Sri Vrindavan Dhama, India |
|
|
Early
in the 18th century the three main deities of Vrindavan
(Madana Mohana, Govinda, and Gopinatha) were taken to
Jaipur to protect them from the Muslim tyrant Aurangzeb
who was destroying the temples and deities of Vrindavan
in an envious rampage. They were rescued by the pious
Vaisnava king, Maharaja Jai Singh II. Madana Mohan was
later transferred to a Rajastani village called Karoli.
Maharaja Jai Singh was so devoted to Lord Govinda that
when he built a new city, which he named Jaipur (city of
victory), he dedicated it to his beloved Lord Govinda.
The Maharaja established Govindaji's temple on the
grounds of his palace so that he could take darshan from
his quarters. For three centuries Radha Govinda's
worship has been attracting great devotion from the
residents of Jaipur.
It is very auspicious to take the darshan of all three
of these deities in one day. At 5am on 6 November 2011
twelve of us set out for the ultimate darshan
experience. We reached the temple in Karoli for a late
morning darshan of the beautiful Madana Mohan and then
proceeded to Jaipur for a late afternoon darshan of
Radha Govinda.
When we went for darshan of Radha Govinda there were
thousands of people waiting to see their beloved Radha
and Govinda. We joyfully joined in with them singing
"Govinda Jaya Jaya, Gopala Jaya Jaya, Radha Ramana Hari,
Govinda Jaya Jaya" as we waited for the curtains to
open. And then when the curtains finally parted waves of
transcendental bliss swept the enthusiastic devotees as
we feasted our eyes and hearts on the beautiful Sri Sri
Radha and Govinda.
Finally at sunset we capped off this most sublime day
with a darshan of Radha Gopinatha, the deity who bestows
pure love of God. I joyfully took darshan in each temple
in a mood of humble submission begging the Lord for His
mercy to save me from material consciousness and make me
His pure devotee.

Question: What is the Result of Contraception? |
|
Respected Guru Maharaja,
Please accept my humble obeisances. All Glories to You
and Srila Prabhupada.
May I ask you a question? How does the soul enter
the semen of his/her father? And what happens when
people use contraception?
With warm regards,
Your student.

Answer: They Will Be Blocked
from Human Birth |
|
Srila
Prabhupada describes in his purport to Bhagavad-gita 8.3
how living entity descends to the earth in the rain,
takes on the form of grains, is eaten by a man, and
transformed into semen.
According to the universal laws contraception is sinful.
If you sign a lease on an apartment and when you go to
move in you are blocked from entering, this blocking is
a criminal action. Contraception is sinful because it is
blocking the living being who is trying to enter into
his new lawful human body. Those who indulge in
contraception will be blocked from getting a human body
just as they blocked someone from getting a human body.
