19911110SRILA PRABHUPADA DISP DAY WITH SBNM AND TKG

Srila Gurudeva: It is very auspicious day today because when guru is in this planet there is a relation as guru and iya disciple and spiritual master. At that time, our whole energy goes to carry out his orders. At that time we can not think soley outwardly and internally what his motive is. But today, on this auspicious day, we have a time to think on whole life what he has done, who he was, what he wanted to teach, and why he has come to this sphere. When Caitanya Mahprabhu, or Ka, was present at that time people could not understand of Ka or mission of Lord Caitanya Mahprabhu. Internally they did not know. But when He left this sphere, when He left Navadvpa, Navadvpa persons (quotes verse). Now when your Prabhupda is not here, my ik-guru is not here, in our opinion. He is here. He is everywhere. He is akhaa-guru-tattva. He is praka, manifestion, of Nitynanda Prabhu or Baladeva. But yet we are not seeing, but not seeing as instance when Ka was in Vndvana, sakh, gops with Ka, dancing in rsa, always in yugala-vilse, vihara. But when Ka went to Mathur, and from Mathur he went to Dvrak, (the) gops realized something more than meeting: that is vipralambha-bhva. By our sight we can mostly see him on that form that you have seen. He has told something. He has ordered something. He has given so many teachings. But now, after some days, he has left this sphere and he has gone to Rdh-Ka yugala. Perhaps he has given opportunity to know who he was and for what purpose he has come here. He has written Bhagavad-gt As It Is. He has written Easy Journey to Other Planets. He has written the commentary of rmad Bhgavatam. So many things he has done. But he wanted to do something more. But he could not do because we were not in a position and were were not so qualified that at that time he could give all these things. But now, by his grace, we all are in a more good mood to understand. When Ka went to Dvrak, Uddhava came to Vndvana. When he was taking order from Ka that, "You are sending me to Vndvana but how can I live in Vndvana without You?" Ka told that, "Dont think like so. I am in a very lakhs and lakhs one part of lakhs and lakhs parts, but I am fully, solely in Vndvana with gops and there. When you will go to Vndvana you will see that I am solely in Vndvana with gops and in Vraja. I am not in Mathur. I am not at all in Mathur. I am solely in Vndvana So, now today is the day when we can think more and more about Svmji, your Prabhupda. That who he was, what he wanted to give in this world. There are so many teachers and so many preachers who went to Western countries. Like Vivekananda and others, so many. And nowadays also there are so many preachers, those who go to Western countries and other parts of the world. But I think what Prabhupda has given there, they could not give there. They have taken (something) and (put it) in new bottle they have given there. But he has given what Caitanya Mahprabhu Himself wanted to

give this world. He has given name within prema-stra. sei dvre cale krtana sacre nma-prema-ml gthi parila sasre [Thus He spread krtana even among the untouchables. He wove a wreath of the holy name and prema, with which He garlanded the entire material world. CC di (4.40)] As Caitanya Mahprabhu is namo mah-vadnyya ka-prema-pradya te kya ka-caitanya-nmne gaura-tvie nama [I offer prama unto r Ksa-Caitanya, who is r Ka Himself. Having assumed the golden hue of rmat Rdhik, He is munificently bestowing ka-prema, the rarest of all gifts. rman Mahprabhu vandan] Caitanya Mahprabhu is mah-vadnyya. Similarly, Rpa, Santana Gosvms are mah-vadnyya. In guru-parampar Jva Gosvm, Raghuntha Dsa Gosvm, Kadsa Kavirja Gosvm, Vivantha Cakravart hkura, Baladeva Vidybhaa, rla Bhaktivinoda hkura: all are mah-vadnyya because they have tried to give the same thing that Caitanya Mahprabhu wanted to give. And rla Prabhupda, rla Bhaktisiddhnta Sarasvat hkura, sent him knowing that he is a very great personality. And he can give my heartfelt desire. He can fulfill and give in Western countries. We know that Vivekananda could not give anything to Western countries. Similarly all other preachers went there. They have given only these four things: dharma, artha, kma, moka not moksa dharma, artha, kma, three things. Some preachers have tried to give them moka also but not this Ka prema they tried to give. He went there Alone! He went there. Perhaps guru was with him and Rdh-Ka was also Caitanya Mahprabhu, Nitynanda Prabhu was with him but we could not see. We saw that he went alone. He went alone with not a single paisa with him. I first met him in Kolatta on Akaya Ttiy the establishment day of Gauya Vednta Samiti our gurudeva Bhakti Prajna Keava Gosvm Mahrja who gave him sannysa order. At that time he was not sannys, your rla Prabhupda, he called him he came in a ghastha vea. But I have not seen before, but I knew him by ears but not by eyes. I think to see by ears is more valuable than seeing by this. I had heard so many times and so many things from my gurudeva. That he is a very great personality. He is a good writer and very yukti-vadi, always nirbhay, nirbhay means no fear at all. And he is preacher of satya, truth. No fear from anyone. I heard that he has written so many things in Gauya Patrika and others, Hindi Bhgavata Patrika and English Back to Godhead at the time of Prabhupda (not Back to Godhead) Harmonist. Prabhupda has told him to give articles in Harmonist and you will have to go to Western countries to preach

Caitanya Mahprabhu's teachings there. When I saw him I was very much attracted to him. And anyhow I used to sit with him and talked with him and he was so much powerful in talking. At that time he used to not give lectures. But talking most influential. And when he used to do talk from rmad Bhgavatam with meanings ete ca-kal pusa kas tu bhagavn svayam indrri-vykula loka mayanti yuge yuge [All of the above-mentioned incarnations are either plenary portions or portions of the plenary portions of the Lord, but Lord r Ka is the original Personality of Godhead. All of them appear on planets whenever there is a disturbance created by the atheists. The Lord incarnates to protect the theists. S.B. (1.3.28)] He used to give word by word explanations. So beautiful and so in good manners that all can be satisfied and they will have to agree him. So, I first saw him in Kolkata and after that he went to Allahabad. He wrote so many things in our Gauya Patrika and I used to read them so meticulously. When he came to Mathur he told me one thing. That I was so much fearing that I should not leave this world and I will not take sannysa order. But I see that that fear has fallen upon me. I have read that r-bhagavn uvca yasyham anughmi hariye tad-dhana anai tato dhana tyajanty asya svajan dukha-dukhitam [The Personality of Godhead said: If I especially favor someone, I gradually deprive him of his wealth. Then the relatives and friends of such a poverty-stricken man abandon him. In this way he suffers one distress after another. S.B. (10.88.8)] In rmad Bhgavatam. Those who take shelter of Ka they became akican nikicana and no he become no rich and all other things. So, I used to always fear from this loka. But I see that by chanting and by serving here in Mathur I am going to take sannysa. At first temples did not know him, that he is so qualified. When he took sannysa and went to Jhansi went to Agra and other places then he became then persons used to know

that who he is. So, when he came to Mathur and from Mathur he came to RdhDamodara temple I was with him. I saw that he was so nikicana. Nothing with him. No quilt nothing. Only a very torn quilt and after that I used to give my chadar on that and on that we used to sit and (have) conversation about Rpa Gosvm and other gosvms and what he is writing he used to let me see. At that time we both, in midday, we used to make chapati with our own hands. He used to do like this and I used to put on (the) fire and then we took (chapatti). I was also with him at Delhi. He was always in writing chanting. Not a moment he (idle). In Mathur I saw him. Always writing and thinking all these things. He has a plan at Mathur that I will go to Western countries and if they will permit I will make hostels and there, if it will be needed, I will distribute eggs, meat, wine also and I have full faith that by taking holy name of Ka in a very few days they will leave everything. And that is why he went there and in no time he spread in whole world his mission. I see that (quotes verse). I have not seen crya. Even Sankaracharya he took some time and he spread only in India at that time. But he, in a few days, I think from 1968 to 1977. In this in whole India, Western countries, Eastern countries, everywhere. So many places. So many centers everywhere, Rdh-Ka, Caitanya Mahprabhu, Nitynanda, he established. Not only established, he brought very good boys, scholars, like Tamal Ka, Bhavananda, Brahamanda, Kirtanananda. Not only (these) so many. Hundreds and thousands of boys. Not only boys. Also girls, womens, childrens he brought and in shape of sannys, in shape of brahmacr. All other groups of our Gauya Maha also admit this fact: that he has no guru-niha as ISKCON has. Certainly they admit and I also admit that you have so much faith and so much belief in your gurudeva that we have not so much faith. You are also very qualified persons. He collected magical one. He called all these things and he (quotes verse) gave a shape of (what) Bhaktivinoda hkura said. We see now that we Indians and Westerns no hairs, with tiki, with mala, ladies and gentlemens and all devotees (are chanting): Hare Ka, Hare Ka, Ka Ka, Hare Hare/ Hare Rma, Hare Rma, Rma Rma, Hare Hare I think in India we see that all our ramas are without ladies. But he has given a scope for Western persons because if I will tell them that you should all have to be brahmacr and sannys then it is so hard to preach there and at least every jva has qualities to serve Ka. They have janma siddha adhikra birthright to serve Ka. If they are ladies or females or any jva everyone has qualities and they have a right to serve Ka consciousness. So he has done so. According to Kali-yuga we will have to be so (broadminded, adaptable). So he has given a scope. If he has not given a scope I think this preaching is not so very much in this world. But he has given something as a common thing. He had no time at all at that time. He had preached only general things. He has given in books so

many things but he could not preach all. In bhakti we see that there is are so many stages of bhakti: dau raddh tata sdhu- sago tha bhajana-kriy tato nartha-nivtti syt tato nih rucis tata

athsaktis tato bhvas tata prembhyudan cati sdhakanm aya prema prdurbhve bhavet krama [In the beginning one must have a preliminary desire for self-realization. This will bring one to the stage of trying to associate with persons who are spiritually elevated. In the next stage one becomes initiated by an elevated spiritual master, and under his instruction the neophyte devotee begins the process of devotional service. By execution of devotional service under the guidance of the spiritual master, one becomes free from all material attachment, attains steadiness in self-realization, and acquires a taste for hearing about the Supreme Personality of Godhead, r Ka. This taste leads one further forward to attachment for a consciousness, which is matured in bhva, or the preliminary stage of transcendental love of God. Real love for God is called prema, the highest perfectional stage of life. Bhakti-rasmta-sindhu (1.4.1516)] In this world we can go only up to this. Here one thing is that bhakti is only uttam bhakti. He wanted to preach all these things that I am saying in Western countries also. That Rpa Gosvm has given in Bhakti-rasmta-sindhu, Ujjvala-nlamai, and all his other books and Raghuntha Dsa Gosvm, Kadsa Kavirja Gosvm, and all our guru-parampar has given this. He wanted to give all things in Western countries but he could not do at that time because time was not so much. Only 10 or 12 years he has done. So, he tried to give rddha then niha then ruci. What is niha? We should know. We are chanting harinma. We are doing all activities as r-prahrda uvca ravaa krtana vio smaraa pda-sevanam arcana vandana dsya sakhyam tma-nivedanam iti pusrpit viau bhakti cen nava-laka kriyeta bhagavaty addh

tanmanye 'dhtam uttamam

["Prahlda Mahrja said: 'Hearing and chanting about the transcendental holy name, form, qualities, paraphernalia and pastimes of Lord Viu, remembering them, serving the lotus feet of the Lord, offering the Lord respectful worship with sixteen types of paraphernalia, offering prayers to the Lord, becoming His servant, considering the Lord's one's best friend, and surrendering everything unto Him (in other words, serving Him with the body, mind and words)these nine processes are accepted as pure devotional service. One who has dedicated his life to the service of Ka through these nine methods should be understood to be the most learned person, for he has acquired complete knowledge.'" SB (7.5.23-24), Madhya (9.259-260)] or sdhu-saga, nma-krtana, bhgavata-ravaa mathur-vsa, r-mrtira raddhya sevana

["One should associate with devotees, chant the holy name of the Lord, hear rmad-Bhgavatam, reside at Mathur and worship the Deity with faith and veneration." (Madhya 22.128)] We are doing. But we should go deep in all these things. Niha. What is the meaning of niha? When all anartha go away. What is the anartha? asat-saga-tyga, ei vaiava-cra str-sag eka asdhu, kbhakta ra [A Vaiava should always avoid the association of ordinary people. Common people are very much materially attached, especially to women. Vaiavas should also avoid the company of those who are not devotees of Lord Ka. CC Madhya (22.87)] Those who are viay, dont do bhakti to Ka, we should not do sanga of these persons. Those who are entangled in only intoxication, and other things, we should not do all these things. svarpa-bhrama (being in illusion about ones spiritual identity); (2) asat-t (thirst for temporary material enjoyment); (3) hdaya-daurbalya (weakness of the heart) and (4) apardha (offenses). Jaiva-Dharma

nma-apardha, vaiava-apardha, sev-apardha, dhma-apardha. These are all anarthas. In Madhurya Kadambini (by Vivantha Cakravart hkura) he has written about all these things, what are anarthas. When all anarthas go away then niha comes. Niha means (quote verse). We know that Ka is so good thing. We know that hearing of Ka and chanting of Ka is so good. But we can not do. But when we know by buddhi, buddhi means wisdom, that without doing so we can not go up in bhakti. Then it is called niha; niha not buddhi. I will die yet I will die but I can not leave Ka bhakti. This is niha. I want to do one lakh of harinma as ri Caitanya Mahprabhu, Haridsa hkur, our gosvms used to do. But we go to Rdh-kua (and other places) and gold catches us we can not do. So, we want to do all these things but we can not do but we try to do this is niha. And when ruci comes, ruci means taste, then it comes in here. And when sakti comes then without doing we can not live. As if we will die if we dont take name or we dont hear hari-kath. If a man. There are two kinds of persons. rddha is of two kinds. One is vaidhi-rddha and other is rgnuga. rla Bhaktivednta Svm Mahrja has spread vaidhi-bhakti. At that time he had no chance, no appropriate time to tell about rgnuga-bhakti. He has written in his books but if he at that time told, I think at that time we were not so qualified that we could learn that thing. So he has not given. But he has shown the part that how we can by doing vaidhi-bhakti we can go in rgnugabhakti. Rgnuga-bhakti from lobha maiy rddha. Greed. By greed, by hearing some rmad Bhgavatam. If a man has greed in rmad Bhgavatam in gop-bhva or vtsalya-bhva or sakhya-bhva especially Caitanya Mahprabhu has come here to give: anarpita-car cirt karuayvatra kalau samarpayitum unnatojjvala-ras sva-bhakti-riyam hari puraa-sundara-dyuti-kadamba-sandpita sad hdaya-kandare sphuratu va ac-nandana [May the Supreme Lord who is known as the son of rmat ac-dev be transcendentally situated in the innermost chambers of your heart. Resplendent with the radiance of molten gold, He has appeared in the Age of Kali by His causeless mercy to bestow what no incarnation has ever offered before: the most sublime and radiant mellow of devotional service, the mellow of conjugal love. C.C. (di 1.4, di 3.4, Antya 1.132) & Vidagdha-mdhava (1.2)] Meaning is so deep. Especially he has come. Your gurudeva has also come. Svmji has also come to give this thing. But, he (prepare) this soil, land. So that he may give this seed in that (soil). So much time he took only to make soil for seed. He has given seed but so much time passed in only to making good soil. He has told that any one (has) myvda or advaita-vda bhakti can not be there. Prabhupda has also told this. But for the thing he has come down to this sphere only to give Caitanya Mahprabhu mission:

anarpita-car cirt karuayvatra kalau samarpayitum unnatojjvala-ras sva-bhakti-riyam What is that thing? I have told perhaps so many times but again I want to say. And that was the mission of rla Prabhupda also. That: anarpita-car cirt karuayvatra kalau samarpayitum unnatojjvala-ras sva-bhakti-riyam unnatojjvala-ras is gop bhva. Not svaky-bhva of Dvrak but parakya-bhva of Vraja. Caitanya Mahprabhu or Svmji has not come to give this thing. unnatojjvalaras is of rmati Rdhik. Caitanya Mahprabhu has come to taste these things, not to give to others. unnatojjvala-ras sva-bhakti-riyam. sva means Rdhik. Rdhik is praying: r-rdhy praaya-mahim kdo vnayaivsvdyo yendbhuta-madhurim kdo v madya saukhya csy mad-anubhavata kda veti lobht tad-bhvhya samajani ac-garbha-sindhau harndu [Desiring to understand the glory of Rdhrs love, the wonderful qualities in Him that She alone relishes through Her love, and the happiness She feels when She realizes the sweetness of His love, the Supreme Lord Hari, richly endowed with Her emotions, appeared from the womb of rmat ac-dev, as the moon appeared from the ocean. CC di (1.6) & CC di (4.230)] Caitanya Mahprabhu was Ka. He came in Caitanya Mahprabhu's form, having stolen the inner bhva and complexion; He came in the shape of Caitanya Mahprabhu, Lord Gaurga ac-nandana. Why ac-nandana? Because He was very dear to His mother and mother was so humble and kplu (merciful). So, Caitanya Mahprabhu, I think, Rpa Gosvm is telling: ac-nandana that ac-dev is so much daylu, merciful. So her Son must be so kplu as a mother (is). And He will give us, as a mother gives her breast to her son, so Caitanya Mahprabhu will give that prema to us. So he is praying to Caitanya Mahprabhu. He is not at that time Ka. (He is) Ka but in the form of rmati Rdhik. Rdhik is also so much merciful; more than Ka. Rdhik is whole kp of Ka in the form of Rdhik. So much merciful. So here, ac-nandana means so much merciful. What He will give? He can not give three things. What rmati Rdhik tasted rdhy praaya-mahim how Ka is beautiful, how He blows His flute... (tape breaks)...

So majars are: rupa majar, ananda majar, rati majar, lavanga majar, and all majars, vinode majar, kamala majar... (tape breaks)... That you should all enter in his priya bhakti, rgnuga bhakti, and prema bhakti and in this life also you should go, enter in this bhakti realm. (Speaking Hindi)... Gaura premnande! GBC: S r pad Nryaa Mahrja has satisfied (everyone) by breaking his vow to speak in Hindi and he has spoken in English so that we can all relish very much his glorification of rla Prabhupda. And he has reminded us of what rla Prabhupda's mission is actually. He is no less broad-minded than r Caitanya Mahprabhu. No less broad-minded than rla Rpa Gosvm. No less broad-minded than his Guru Mahrja rla Bhaktisid dhnta Sarasvat hkura. And that is that he has come to give the world the greatness gift of all. And rla Nryaa Mahrja has ended and spoken very clearly that the real purpose is to develop love of God. rla Rpa Gosvm has taught: sev sdhaka-rpea siddha-rpea ctra hi tad-bhva-lipsun kry vraja-loknusrata [The advanced devotee who is inclined to spontaneous loving service should follow the activities of a particular associate of Kas in Vndvana. He should execute service externally as a regulative devotee as well as internally from his self-realized position. Thus he should perform devotional service both externally and internally. CC Madhya (22.158) & Bhakti-rasmta-sindhu (1.2.295)] That we have to understand how to render devotional service and all of the practices which must be followed in order to qualify for love of Ka. rla Nryaa Mahrja has spoken that rla Prabhupda wanted us to, and does want us, to develop the higher stages of love of Ka practicing rgnuga-bhakti eventually. So, how will this be done? rla Rpa Gosvm has described how this should be done. As a sdhaka we should not think ourselves prematurely advanced but we should follow the practices of sdhana bhakti. And what is the most important principle of sdhana bhakti? Guru-pdasaya: firm faith, love, and devotion to the lotus feet of the spiritual master. And, as he has said, in all of the Gauya Mahas they appreciate so much how in ISKCON there is this firm faith on the lotus feet of the spiritual master. Why? Perhaps because, as you have said, Prabhupda came with a magic wand. Because we know exactly what we were and we did not understand what he was; but we knew very well what we were. We were the most fallen persons. We did not know the name Ka, we did not have any good qualities whatsoever, but he acted like a touchstone. By his association, as Santana Gosvm has said, bell metal can change into gold something by the touch of

the alchemist's stone. So, in the same way, by his contact those with very base qualities have become transformed. It was done by his desire. He had such a strong desire, he had so much love for r Caitanya Mahprabhu and so much appreciation for giving Caitanya Mahprabhu's mercy, that he worked day and night tirelessly. His Guru-Mahrja gave him his order and he had absolute faith in that order and, as Prahlda Mahrja said, "I don't want liberation, so long I can serve my Guru-Mahrja, I don't want liberation." We had one Prabhupda's disciple speaking. He was Prabhupda's servant. He said Prabhupda was forcing the servants to force him to preach more and more and they could see that by doing this preaching he was gradually getting weaker and weaker and going towards death, but he was saying to them, "I want this blessing. I want this blessing that I should die like a soldier in the field." When Prabhupda was here in 1977 he was so weak that he could not lift his hands by himself. So, he was staying now in the room, he called me late in the night, maybe it was 11:00 o'clock at night. He said, "We have tried everything and all medicines have failed me. So, now I think that Ka wants me to go back so kindly let me go back." So, as a disciple, how could I say, "Yes"? Because as Narottama dsa hkura sings: the disciple breaks his head on the stone thinking of the separation of his Guru-Mahrja. So, I was thinking, "What to do?" How to convince rla Prabhupda that he should not give up his will? Then I said, "rla Prabhupda, the problem that Vndvana is a place to come to die. Your Guru-Mahrja didn't tell you to stay in Vndvana. He told you to go to the West. So, I think that the reason you are dying is because you are in Vndvana. You should go to the West. I said, "If you go to the West" and then I quoted the Bhagavad-gt verse I quoted it in English. That, if you die, Ka told Arjuna, "If you die, you will to the heavenly planets and if you live you can enjoy the Earthly kingdom." So, I said, "If you live then you can preach so much and if you die, so what, you are always in Vndvana. Wherever you go is Vndvana." So, when Prabhupda heard this, although he was so weak, he sat up like this. And he said, "Actually, Ka has spoken through you." He said, "Let us go to the West and we will preach and I will die like a soldier in the field. And if I die in New York," he said, "you will have to bury me on the roof of the building because there is no place on the street, there are only buildings, so you will have to bury me on the top of the roof." So, this was Prabhupda's mood that we saw. And I only say this: that, what is the qualification, what is our qualification for entering rgnuga bhakti? Surely the best qualification we have is the preaching mission which Prabhupda gave us because without that preaching, what are we? We are not very good sdhus, we fall asleep while chanting our japa, we become tired while reading, we commit so many mistakes and offenses. But I think that, a word that Prabhupda told: One day I approached him in Bombay and I said rla Prabhupda, "You are sending us to the bank, you are forcing us to do all these apparently worldly acts, so I don't think I can quote rmad Bhagavad-gt as well as I can quote the Bombay municipal laws." So, Prabhupda says, "That is not very good. You should be able to quote Bhagavadgt." And I said, "But you are giving us all these things to do."

So then he said, "For so many lifetimes, you have spoiled your life. Now somehow you have come to Ka consciousness, so I am requesting you, that in this lifetime you sacrifice it for the mission to Caitanya Mahprabhu. If you give your life whole heartedly in the service of r Caitanya Mahprabhu then I promise you that whatever you are lacking r Caitanya Mahprabhu will personally come and cover for you and take you back to Godhead." So, guru-pdasraya. What is the mission of rla Prabhupda? It is a two-fold mission. One the one hand it is to spread Ka consciousness all over the world with all of our energy and on the other hand it is to personally become Ka conscious ourselves. You can not spread Ka consciousness if you are not Ka conscious. Why was rla Prabhupda successful? Because of his Ka consciousness. Because he had so much love for r Caitanya Mahprabhu and the lotus feet of r r Rdh-Ka. So, unless we get that love our mission will not become successful. Some scholars who are close to our movement they have written in a book that the success of the Ka consciousness movement will depend on whether the members of this society can actually develop love for Rdh-Ka. If they can not then the movement will not succeed. So, I think that, as Nryaa Mahrja has told us, that rla Prabhupda will act as ... he will guide us through the vaiavas, through our godbrothers. He will guide us and help us in all respects, if we are progressive, to go to the highest stages of Ka bhakti. If we don't do that, Prabhupda said, the guru is not so pleased to take money from the disciple as much as to see that the disciple is dancing in spiritual life. So, I think, I recall, Prabhupda got one letter from Girirja Mahrja. And Girirja Mahrja wrote that: when the rati is being performed to Rdh-Rsabihari sometimes I start to cry; and when I am reading your books sometimes the tears come. So I am worried because I know that I am a fallen person and you have warned us not to be sahajiy. So please tell me what is this. And rla Prabhupda said, "Actually this is the mercy of Rdh-Ka upon you. This is rmati Rdhik's mercy upon you. This is not bogus this is genuine." So I saw how much Prabhupda was pleased and he became very much pleased to read this letter. He was very personally pleased inside. I could see by this that he was so much pleased to know the advancement of the disciple. So, I think we must do two things all of us who are Prabhupda's followers as we say Rpnuga there is also Prabhupdanuga. Those who are genuine Prabhupdanugas they should do two things: that with their sdhana they should become more and more advanced. Not to mechanically do sdhana but to actually develop some taste. To get some actual greed in the heart for chanting, for worshiping the deity, for serving the vaiavas. And at the same time with all of their efforts they should sacrifice their life to spread this Ka consciousness movement. If we do both of these things, just like the two rows of train tracks, and as Rpa Gosvm has said: sev sdhaka-rpea siddha-rpea ctra hi

tad-bhva-lipsun kry vraja-loknusrata [The advanced devotee who is inclined to spontaneous loving service should follow the activities of a particular associate of Kas in Vndvana. He should execute service externally as a regulative devotee as well as internally from his self-realized position. Thus he should perform devotional service both externally and internally. CC Madhya (22.158) & Bhakti-rasmta-sindhu (1.2.295)] Externally we should act as a sdhaka and vigorously preach and internally we should try to understand what is Rpa Gosvm, who is Rpa Gosvm, who is rla Prabhupda, and who are all of the different cryas in our line that they are all coming, following Rpa Gosvm who is Rpa majar. So, internally understanding their real identity we should try to qualify ourselves one day in some future time, whether in this lifetime or some future lifetime, to be qualified to perform pure sdhana pure bhajana so that when we chant there will actually be some taste, some feeling. But the feeling will come. At least we can desire that, "please let that feeling come one day." And this will actually please rla Prabhupda. When he sees that the devotees are feeling ecstasy when they are dancing in krtana and there are ecstatic feelings within their heart and when they are spreading Ka consciousness as rla Prabhupda did without any fear. Conquering in all directions. That the whole world should be Ka conscious. Not just on the platform of kaniha mentality but on the platform of an advanced devotee madhyama-bhaktas and one day uttama-bhaktas. rla Prabhupda said that rla Bhaktisiddhnta Sarasvat hkura said that his mission would be successful if he could create one pure devotee. And Prabhupda said the same thing. He said, "If I could create one pure devotee my mission would be successful." So, I think that Prabhupda actually doesn't one pure devotee, I think he wants many many pure devotees. So, I am simply requesting all the devotees of ISKCON they should fulfill this desire of rla Prabhupda. That every one of them should one day, by the grace of guru and vaiavas, become pure devotees. And that will please our spiritual master and it will fulfill the prediction of rla Bhaktisiddhnta Sarasvat hkura, rla Bhaktivinoda hkura, r Caitanya Mahprabhu. Prabhupda said, "I will be satisfied if in the history books it is written that the Ka consciousness movement saved the world. rla Prabhupda k jaya! vaiava-vnda k jaya! Gaura premnande! Hari hari bol! transcribed September 2012 (Devananda dasa)
