    Prayers Attract Blessings - Part 1

    Maharaj said, it is very easy to start the devotional service and it is very easy to end it. It is a very easy for a devotee who is interested in Krishna consciousness to come. Many people come, but many people go. In between, to maintain the devotional service is the greatest challenge.

    In the last line of the above verse, 'naarayanaayeti samarpayet tat', meaning, 'This is for the pleasure of Lord Narayana', Kavi is telling us the mood with which we should offer everything to Krishna.

    Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Thakura has concluded, "In all dharmas other than bhagavata-dharma one must consider the conditioned soul's qualification. But a soul surrendered to the Lord is never confounded by error, even if unqualified in all other respects. His feet never stumble, and he never falls.

    Hare Krishna Prabhujis and Matajis,
    Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada and Srila Gurudeva.

    This is in continuation of the series, "Bhagavata Dharma" wherein we are learning few lessons from the conversation between Maharaja Nimi and the Nava Yogendras as described in the 11th Canto, 2nd Chapter of Srimad Bhagavatam. In the previous offerings we saw Maharaja Nimi inquired the Nava Yogendras 

    Question 1. What is the supreme good and how to engage in devotional service to the Lord?

    And because a pure devotee accepts everything in the sense of serving the Lord, the poisonous teeth of accumulation of wealth are extracted. If a snake has its poison removed and bites a man, there is no fatal effect. Similarly, wealth accumulated in the cause of the Lord has no poisonous teeth, and the effect is not fatal. A pure devotee is never entangled in material worldly affairs even though he may remain in the world like an ordinary man."

    Similarly, if we try to serve Krishna with all our opulences, we, as parts and parcels or reflections of Krishna, will become happy in exchange. Krishna is always happy, for He is atmarama, fully satisfied with His own opulence."

    "You please read this Srimad Bhagavatam and this is the best medicine for you." And then after three months we visited him again and then he was really much better than what he was earlier. So this is the effect of these scriptures, but we don't have faith. As soon as we have faith in the words of Srila Prabhupada and Krishna, then nothing else will stop you.

    As soon as you leave the shelter of Srila Prabhupada, you are completely open to all this trouble. It is only Srila Prabhupada who gives us direct and simple instruction about religious and organised life. As soon as you leave his books, his instructions or the institution also, if you don't follow him very sincerely, then you are victimised by so many unknown forces outside. This is a great danger we are facing. Our movement is so large and now if we don't stick to the instructions of Srila Prabhupada very clearly for our own good, then we are completely lost.

    Consistency is goodness; goodness is Vishnu: Granthraj is good for printing and for distribution to devotees. So many subjects are there. Whatever work we are doing, keep firm with it, because consistency is goodness. Creation and destruction is passion and ignorance, but to maintain, in other words, consistency is Vishnu.

    Maharaj says that if we want to be sincere in devotional service, in our dealings with others and in our sadhana, then it is very important for us to remember this mantra, "We have to go." Many a times we feel very complacent and lazy, as we think that we will continue to live like this forever and the people around us will also stay with us forever. And as a result, we keep postponing our duties and sadhana.

When the Navayogendras went to the place of sacrifice, all the sages present there, the brahmanas and even the sacrificial fires stood up and offered their respects to them.

No mundane force can check their free movement, and exactly as they wish they can travel as well to the worlds of the sages, the angels, the ghostly followers of Lord Shiva, the Vidyadharas, the brahmanas and the cows."
