Praying for the Volcanic Eruption of Bhakti
Uploaded from Volcano, Hawaii USA | |
|
|
 We
are staying currently here in Volcano, Hawaii on top of
Kilauea (pronounced "kill-awaya") Volcano in the home of
my beloved Godbrother, Sriman Ramananda Prabhu and his
wonderful devotee wife, Srimati Yugala Rasa Devi Dasi.
Being here on top of a volcano, which is fortunately
not currently active at the place we are staying, reminds me of the wonderful song
of the great Vaisnava acharya, Srila Bhaktivinode Thakur
in which he prays for that day when he will have the
eruption of pure bhakti within his heart. Even though
such great acharyas already have bhakti fully manifested
within their hearts, they teach us by their exemplary
songs and prayers what should be our mood for advancing
nicely in Krishna consciousness. In other words, we get
what we desire. If we desire sense gratification, we
will get sense gratification birth after birth. And if
we desire the supreme perfectional consciousness of pure
love of God, that's what we will get in an eternal life,
full of bliss, and full of knowledge. So may that
volcano of love of God erupt today within our hearts.

Question:
Don't Tell the Faithless About Krishna? |
|
|
I read in The Teachings of Lord
Caitanya that the ninth offence against the chanting of
Krishna's holy names is to preach the glories of the
holy name of God to a faithless person who is not
interested in hearing them.
I don't doubt what I've read. I take it to be completely
true, but I'm confused. How will we save the world, when
most of the people are faithless? Isn't it Lord
Caitanya's wish for everyone to reconnect with Krishna?
Thank you for your time and assistance.

Answer: Connect with their
Inner Faithfulness |
|
|
This instruction means
that we should reach out to the faithless persons in
such a way that they develop faith. No one is actually
faithless. It is simply that their faith is sometimes
covered by faithlessness. Since Lord Caitanya has
ordered us to tell everyone about Krishna and since the
sastras prohibit preaching to the faithless, we have to
present Krishna consciousness to the people in such a
loving, intelligent non-fanatical way that everyone will
experience a reawakening of their original faithful
nature. In this way we can follow Lord Caitanya's order
to tell everyone about Krishna and simultaneously follow
the sastric prohibition against preaching to the
faithless.
Of course, if someone is blasphemous and we are not able
penetrate their envious shell, we should not try to tell
them about Krishna because this will only increase their
venom. However, a highly advanced devotee, can even
sometimes attract the hearts of such envious snakes and
transform them into devotees.
