ONLY BY PRABHUPADA’S GRACE
I NOW KNOW LIFE’S GOAL
AND SO I PUT MY LIFE ON THE LINE
FOR I MUST PREACH WHAT I KNOW.
WITH PRABHUPADA’S SINGING
EMBRACING MY SOUL
I KNOW I MUST PREACH WHAT I KNOW
AND SURRENDER TO HIM IN CONTROL.
NOBODY KNOWS WHAT THEY’RE DOING
WHEN THEY KNOW NOT WHO THEY ARE
THEY ARE SIMPLY ON PATHS OF RUIN
BELIEVING THEY HAVE GONE SO FAR.
LYING SIMPLY LYING
SAYING THEY HAVE GONE TO THE MOON
CHEATING SIMPLY CHEATING
SINGING THEIR LUSTY TUNE.
WHERE OH WHERE IS SANITY
WHERE OH WHERE IS HUMANITY
EVERYTHING IS VANITY
BEHOLD EVERYTHING IS VANITY.
NOBODY KNOWS WHAT THEY SAY
FOR EVERYONE HAS LOST THEIR WAY
DEDICATED TO WHAT DOES DECAY
SIMPLY LIKE CHILDREN AT PLAY.
YOU HAVE TO BE SO CAREFUL
JUST TRYING TO SPEAK THE TRUTH
IN THIS WORLD OF THE GODLESS
RUNNING FOR NOTHING BUT A SPOOF.
AND SO I TAKE THE GREATEST RISKS
TRYING TO PREACH KRISHNA CONSCIOUSNESS
JUST EXPECTING TO BE POISONED OR CRUCIFIED
BY TOTAL MONSTERS POISONED BY PRIDE.
TOTAL HUMILITY IS
ALL THAT IS SANE
BEGGING TO GOD AND HIS SERVANTS
CRYING HELPLESSLY KRISHNA’S NAMES.
PLEASE ENGAGE ME FULLY
IN THY LOVING SERVICE MY LORD
I’M SO VERY VERY SORRY
FOR LIFETIMES I’VE IGNORED.
POINT ME TO LIFE’S PERFECTION
AND ALL OF THY PROTECTION
GIVING YOU ALL MY LOVE AND AFFECTION
PLEASE FULLY AWAKEN MY SPIRITUAL PERCEPTION.
FOR MY PERCEPTION OF YOU MY LORD
HAS BECOME COMPLETELY LOST
MY HEART HAS BECOME STEAL FRAMED
AS IN TO MAYA I HAVE BEEN TOSSED.
PLEASE TAKE ME I AM YOURS
BIRTH AFTER BIRTH AFTER BIRTH
O LORD OF THE GOPIS
OPEN MY EYES TO MY WORTH.
HARE KRISHNA HARE KRISHNA
KRISHNA KRISHNA HARE HARE
HARE RAMA HARE RAMA
RAMA RAMA HARE HARE!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you for sharing your realizations with us. Surely they do not know what they are doing. But once they think they have become Krsna, it makes impossible to preach to them directly. It is best to avoid them, as instructed by Srila Prabhupada.
“A preacher’s business is to love God, to make friendship with devotees, to enlighten the innocent, and to avoid the demons. This principle we shall follow.”
We should not imitate Lord Chaitanya to try to convert some tiger and try to make him dance. We are not so powerful. And this would be insane because by this we are agitating them even more and putting our life to a great danger. This is never recommended.
As per my limited knowledge of what I’ve heard Srila Prabupada never directly preached to the demons, mayavadis or illegal gurus, he never tried to convince or convert them. He pushed the movement, distributed knowledge in the form of his transcendental books, and thought the science of Krsna consciousness to his disciples and followers. But unfortunately some of those who were envious of his success infiltrated the movement and tried to usurp the position of Srila Prabhupada. They wanted to kill guru and become guru. This is not a conspiracy theory but a well known fact. Now as there are so many evidences one cannot deny or just ignore this truth.
Now these most sinful of all sinners gurus are pretending they are in position to give transcendental knowledge. But one who is sincere to make advancement in spiritual life should inquire how these gurus who claim to have transcendental knowledge fall down into material life. This means they never received transcendental knowledge, otherwise how one situated in the boat of transcendental knowledge can fall down, instead of becoming liberated. One does not need to be trancendentally situated to understand these things. This is explained by Lord Krsna in Bhagavad-gita 4.37,
“As the blazing fire turns firewood to ashes, O Arjuna, so does the fire of knowledge burn to ashes all reactions to material activities.”
So these demon pretenders do not have transcendental knowledge. And how they can give something they don’t have. They may only give knowledge how to remain perpetually in this material world, and go to hell, that is all.
The transcendental knowledge, by which one can cross over the ocean of miseries, has already been given by Srila Prabhupada. Some are fortunate who have received it, but still there are so many innocent souls waiting to receive this same knowledge. We are all sinners, some are greater and some are smaller then the others, but this knowledge is so powerful it can burn to ashes all sinful reactions, as the blazing fire turns firewood to ashes. There is nothing higher in this world than transcendental knowledge. And it is now available to everyone by the mercy of Srila Prabhupada. We should simply try to please Srila Prabhupada by distributing this same knowledge, unchanged, so that others will also get the same benefit. The satisfaction of the spiritual master is the secret of success in spiritual life.
Srila Prabhupada is liberated, self-realized soul. He is the true savior, and the model to follow. No one will fall down if he follows Srila Prabhupada. We have to follow someone. Either we follow God or we follow Satan. There is no alternative. If follow God we get life, but if we follow Satan we commit suicide. Here Satan means demon or false teacher, and we can find that even Lord Jesus gave the same instructions that we should avoid them,
“Leave them; they are blind guides. If the blind lead the blind, both will fall into a pit.” (Matthew 15:14)
So they crucified Him. The same thing happened to Srila Prabhupada also, because he was preaching against false gurus.
There is no difference between the preacher and the follower. As preachers we should be wise enough to distinguish between God and Satan, or between the Light and the Darkness. One of the most safe and most poweful way of preaching is to read or distribute Srila Prabhupada’s trancendental books, or both. The other being congregational chanting of the Lord’s holy names and distributing Krsna prasadam in large – in humble, service attitude – without false prestige. This will bring peace to everyone.
“In this world, there is nothing so sublime and pure as transcend�ntal knowledge. Such knowledge is the mature fruit of all mysticism. And one who has achieved this enjoys the self within himself in due course of time.” (Bhagavad-gita 4.38)
Hare Krsna. All glories to Srila Prabhupada
Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Shrila Prabhupada.
One reason they must fall down so greatly Prabhupada said is being so proud they believe they can become initiating Diksha guru without Shrila Prabhupada’s authorization. That is already most fallen behavior, and then because they are not qualified which means they are not Mahabhagavats on the highest platform paramahamsa, very powerful devotees fully versed in Vedic literatures and really just observing Krishna everywhere, they must fall down more and more because they are not in love of Krishna’s devotional fire that can burn away the sins of all their disciples. In fact Prabhupada said it is best not to take on any disciples, and even in preaching in general his advice was our best preaching was convincing them to buy a book.
Another big cause of fall down Prabhupada said was to associate with those envious of the bonafide spiritual master like Shrila Prabhupada, which these usurpers of Iskcon did very closely, but there are many causes of fall down Prabhupada mentioned, like not studying his books every day, not staying steady in Diety worship, there are so many things. You are so right, we need to deeply understand the causes of fall down.
One thing is Prabhupada said is, for us in general it is easy to fall down so don’t be surprised if someone goes, we should be surprised if someone stays. Another thing Prabhupada said is in the end so many devotees had fallen down was because they were not qualified for that kind of life, so to make the way easy we must introduce the Varnashrama institution which was his very great regret he did not really get going, so devotees could engage in devotional service according to their natures which may be Ksatrias, vaishyas or sudras. In this way they could practically progress in Krishna consciousness, even sudras by serving the higher classes, but all of us must associate with strict disciples in deep knowledge of what happened to iskcon, that is most important for our spiritual lives….good association of good devotees.
I’m sorry this definitely needs editing because of mispelled words.
Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Shrila Prabhupada,
Thank you so much for editing my last comment. Perhaps the main reason for fall down is considering the bonafide spiritual master to be a common man. One of these killers said that Prabhupada was behaving like an invalid old man. Lord Krishna says one should never consider the bonafide spiritual master a common man.Shrila Prabhupada was clearly dictating Shrimad Bhagavatama while lying down enduring pain no common man could endure really for atleased 8 months he was enduring pain from the cadmiun poisonong more than any common man could endure I just heard from the new poison book Nityananda prabhu just put out. There is really so much more evidence Shrila Prabhupada was no common man that could be expounded on in a large book.
