Srila Prabhupada's Disappearance
Day
uploaded from Sri Vrindavan
Dhama, India |
|
|
|
|
Today is a day
of great lamentation. This is the day when
my beloved spiritual master, His Divine
Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada,
departed from this world in 1977. He is
greatly missed. When he was here any
controversies or deviations within our
movement could immediately be resolved
simply by his word. Now even though some of
his instructions are being regularly
disobeyed nobody, not even the GBC, is able
to do anything about it and the deviations
continue. For this reason I cry deeply on
this day of his departure praying that by
His Divine Grace the deviations that have
crept into his movement can be rectified as
soon as possible so that his movement can
very soon lead the entire world out of
chaos.

Question: No Feeling to Take Initiation |
|
|
I am
Chandra Prakash Maurya from Mumbai, India. I am
following Krishna consciousness and ISKCON since 2007,
chanting rounds, doing service as per my capacity, and
also reading many of your articles.
Now I have many question seeing situation near me:
1) Still I have no feeling to accept a guru or take
initiation. I don't know why. I am happy with
Srila Prabhupada.
2) Why is there so much pain? My mother is a very good
devotee. She has given many donations and is a good
devotee. But she is now suffering with myeloma (a kind
of incurable cancer). She is in very, very bad
pain. After seeing her in so much pain I have many
questions: What is use of this life? Why we are here?
Does God exist?
Please guide me.
Regards.
Chandra Prakash Maurya

Answer: That's Why You Are Confused
|
|
|
My Dear Chandra,
Please accept my blessings.
All glories to Srila Prabhupada.
You are so-called happy with your own imaginary Srila
Prabhupada, not tasting transcendental bliss by
following the real Srila Prabhupada who instructs us as
follows in the Nectar of Devotion Introduction:
"The connection with the spiritual master is called
initiation.
From the date of initiation by the spiritual master, the
connection between Krishna and a person cultivating
Krishna consciousness is established. Without initiation
by a bona fide spiritual master, the actual connection
with Krishna consciousness is never performed.”
Furthermore Srila Prabhupada told us in November of 1977
that he would not be initiating more disciples, that
henceforward the new devotees coming to ISKCON would the
disciples of his disciples.
So if you really are a true follower of Srila
Prabhupada, you will strictly follow his instructions
instead of your own nonsense mental concoctions.
It is because you have not actually connected with Srila
Prabhupada that you are confused and wondering what is
the use of life and if God really exists.
I am truly sorry to hear about your mother’s pain, and I
hope that she can recover. However, pain is something we
all experience, especially as we get older. We can have
peace in spite of our pain by always remembering that
whatever pain a devotee suffers is a minimization of
what he actually deserves due to his previous sinful
activities. And that pain is actually a blessing in
disguise to help the devotee intensify within his heart
his loving relationship with Krishna. In other words,
the devotee uses pain as a springboard to increase his
feelings of transcendental bliss. In this way he totally
conquers over pain.
We exist to have a loving relationship with Krishna, to
get out of the nasty prison house of material existence
and get back to our original, all-blissful in the
spiritual world.
