Today's Thought: |
|
On Behalf of My Guru Maharaja
Uploaded from Mauritius | |
|
Upon
our arrival in Mauritius on 4
June 2011 we were first driven by my disciple, Prahlada
Das, to the Hare Krishna temple in Phoenix where we
offered our respectful obeisances to Srila Prabhupada,
who was fully present in his deity form and to the most
beautiful deities, Sri Sri Radha Golokananda. After I
feelingly prayed to Srila Prabhupada and Radha
Golokananda for their merciful blessings the devotees
requested if they could offer me guru puja, a
traditional worship ceremony offered to the spiritual
master. Of course, I do not consider myself to be
qualified to accept such worship, but as a spiritual
master it is my duty to accept such worship on behalf of
my Guru Maharaja, Srila Prabhupada. As they began the
arati ceremony I was most happy to see that my sitting
place offered me an unobstructed view of Srila
Prabhupada sitting regally on his Vyasasana. So as they
worshipped me I mentally transferred all of their
loving, affectionate worship to my spiritual master. It
was such a pure, wonderful feeling to offer the worship
of a whole room full of devotees to Srila Prabhupada.
This is our system. The spiritual master never accepts
worship on his behalf. He only accepts it on behalf of
his spiritual master, who accepts it on behalf of his
spiritual master, etc., etc., all the way back to
Krishna.

Answers According to the Vedic Version: | |
|
Question:
Religious Meat Eaters Get Salvation? |
|
Dear
Gurudeva,
I read this in yesterday's Thought for the Day, "Since
the real meaning of Islam is submission to the will of
God and obedience to His law, global Islamization and
Krishna conscious globalization are exactly the same
thing".
Questions:
Why not follow one of the Abrahamic religions where one
can eat meat (Halal or Kosher for example) if they are
the same as Krishna consciousness?
So do followers of these faiths not suffer any Karmic
reactions as they are within the law of their God?
Please guide me.
S.K.

Answer: They Wouldn't Want It. |
|
I was speaking of the pure
form of religion, not the polluted form that is
masquerading nowadays as real religion.
Every religious system, including
even the Vedic system, gives concessions for meat eaters
in order to restrict them, not to encourage them. Just
like the government allows cigarette smoking, but under
many restrictions. It knows that it cannot stop
cigarette smoking altogether, so it allows it under
restriction to discourage it. In a similar way the
scriptures allow flesh eating under restriction to
discourage it. But this does not mean that such flesh
and blood eaters are qualified to enter the kingdom of
God. They are not because in that supreme abode nobody
eats meat. As long as one has a taste for flesh and
blood he would be miserable in the kingdom of God and is
therefore not allowed to enter there. He will take birth
again in that place where meat eating is allowed, this
material world.
