Today's Thought: |

The Appearance Day of Srimati Radharani
Uploaded from Sofia, Bulgaria |
|
|
|
 Today
in Bulgaria it is Radhastami, the appearance day of
Srimati Radharani. Radharani is our most beloved
spiritual mother. Today we fast until noon and then
partake of the feast that has been prepared for her.
Those who are especially fortunate will be in the
kitchen this morning preparing her feast. Devotees who
are at home can also celebrate her appearance day by
fasting and by preparing and partaking of a feast in her
honor.
It is only because of her unlimited kindness that we
have access to her beloved Lord Sri Krishna. Mother
Radharani is most kind. If we pray to her to tell
Krishna about us, she will recommend us to Krishna that
we are better devotees than she. In this way, by her
divine grace, we will get the attention and special
blessings of Krishna and our lives will be become
perfect. This is how we should pray on this most
auspicious day.

Answers by Citing the Vedic Version: |
|
|
Question:
Serving God is Serving Mankind? |
|
|
My humble obeisances,
How far is the statement, "Madhava seva is manava seva,"
correct or relevant today?
Surendranathan

Answer: Watering the Root
Nourishes the Tree |
|
|
The concept, "Madhava seva
is manava seva," which means, "Serving God is serving
mankind," is a universally valid principle, which has
always been true and will always be true. God is the
root of the entire tree of creation, and everything else
is the leaves and branches of that tree. Just as when we
water the root of a tree all the leaves and branches are
nourished, when we give our love to Krishna or God, that
love is automatically distributed to all living beings
throughout the entire creation. This is the perfection
of service.
Some people say it the other way around that serving man
is serving God--manava seva is Madhava seva. But then
they kill the cows and the unborn children within the
womb. This is not service. This is a disturbance. And
besides that, why only serve man? There are millions of
other species. Why they should be neglected? There is
also God. Why He should be neglected? You cannot water a
tree by watering its leaves and branches. You can only
water a tree by watering its root. Similarly, you cannot
water the tree of creation by watering the creation. You
must water the root of creation. And that is the
Creator, Krishna or God.
