Srimad Bhagavad Gita AS IT IS
Bhagavad Gita: Chapter 5 - Karma-yoga : Action in Krsna Consciousness
TEXT 23
saknotihaiva yah sodhum
prak sarira-vimoksanat
kama-krodhodbhavam vegam
sa yuktah sa sukhi narahWORD FOR WORD
saknoti--is able; iha eva--in the present body; yah--one who;
sodhum--to tolerate; prak--before; sarira--the body;
vimoksanat--giving up; kama--desire; krodha--and anger;
udbhavam--generated from; vegam--urges; sah--he; yuktah--in trance;
sah--he; sukhi--happy; narah--human being.TRANSLATION
Before giving up this present body, if one is able to tolerate the
urges of the material senses and check the force of desire and
anger, he is well situated and is happy in this world.PURPORT by HDG Srila A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupad:
If one wants to make steady progress on the path of
self-realization, he must try to control the forces of the material
senses. There are the forces of talk, forces of anger, forces of
mind, forces of the stomach, forces of the genitals, and forces of
the tongue. One who is able to control the forces of all these
different senses, and the mind, is called gosvami, or svami. Such
gosvamis live strictly controlled lives, and forgo altogether the
forces of the senses. Material desires, when unsatiated, generate
anger, and thus the mind, eyes and chest become agitated.
Therefore, one must practice to control them before one gives up
this material body. One who can do this is understood to be
self-realized and is thus happy in the state of self-realization.
It is the duty of the transcendentalist to try strenuously to
control desire and anger.His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada

Prabhupada Uvacha:
(here's some nectar, sometimes it comes in the form of Srutakirti prabhu's
diary, other times from Govinda dasi's diary, Hari Sauri prabhu's Transcendental
Diary, or sometimes from a letter, or other related source, but still nectar...)
Humorous
One who has got knowledge is humorous also. (Conversation, 20 May 1975)
A gentleman should be humorous. (Letter, 26 September 1975)
Srila Prabhupada was simultaneously grave and joyful, serious and jolly. He had a good sense of humor and often laughed, joked, or told comical stories. But although funny, Prabhupada was never frivolous. Even his lighter mood was fully Krsna conscious. He did not laugh, joke, or perform antics for cheap popularity or just to pass the time of day. He had a transcendental purpose in everything he did. Unlike the joking of mundane comedians, Prabhupada's wit did not leave us feeling empty. Rather, it helped us on the path of fulfillment, because he gave Krsna consciousness along with the laughs.
- From the "Jaya Srila Prabhupada!" by HH Bhakti Vikasa Swami

Devotees: He was in mangala aratik.
Tamala Krsna: He was not dancing very much, though. So maybe he was not... [break]
Radha-ballabha: Here comes Brahmananda.
Prabhupada: How he comes? (laughing) He is running. Oh, another car?
Bahulasva: Yes. [break]
Tamala Krsna: This not like Juhu.
Prabhupada: Yes. [break] ...Maharaja feeling separation of mayapur.
Tamala Krsna: It's transcendental.
Prabhupada: He has constructed Mayapur. This is very good. Asaktis tad-vasati-sthale. If one becomes attracted in the place of Krsna -- place of Krsna everywhere -- especially where His lila was performed... So Brahmananda, why late today?
Brahmananda: I was in the temple, chanting.
Prabhupada: Oh.
Brahmananda: I didn't think you would come so early.
Prabhupada: It is early?
Brahmananda: Well, earlier than yesterday.
Prabhupada: No, I don't think. What is the time?
Tamala Krsna: Ten minutes to six.
Jayatirtha: Yesterday you left about 5:40 and today you left exactly at 5:30. So...
Brahmananda: I came just after you left.
Prabhupada: I think your watch is slow. (laughter) [break] ...actual time now?
Jayatirtha: It's 5:51.
Prabhupada: Hm? What is my?
Jayatirtha: Your's is about one minute faster.
Prabhupada: And what is your?
Brahmananda: 5:53.
Prabhupada: Fast. [break] ...in my childhood, I remember, I went to see football match in the Maidan.
Tamala Krsna: Calcutta Maidan.
Prabhupada: Yes. So when I was returning -- of course, I was walking -- throughout the whole... At that time our house was that Mullik's house. So from Maidan to Mahatma Gandhi Road I came. And all the watches throughout the road, the same time. Means every watch was, every clock was wrong. But I was going, so I, suppose I saw 5:10 here, then few steps away, 5:10, 5:10, 5:10, like that.
Bhavananda: Not any more.
Prabhupada: Huh?

SRILA PRABHUPADA'S QUOTE OF THE DAY
So Krsna's or God's position is always transcendental. Therefore those who are impersonalists, they are not attracted with the variegatedness of this material life. They want to make it void, because they have no information of the spiritual variegatedness. But this Sukadeva Gosvami, he became attracted with the pastimes of Krsna because Krsna's pastimes are not variegatedness of this material world. Its completely spiritual. And to discuss about Krsna, to hear about Krsna, to chant about Krsna, to glorify about Krsna, everything is spiritual. So if you are engaged twenty-four hours in this business you are not in this material world. You are in the spiritual world.
Srimad-Bhagavatam 2.1.5 -- Los Angeles 1972

“Please wake up and try to understand the boon that you now have in this human form of life. The path of spiritual realization is very difficult; it is sharp like a razor’s edge. That is the opinion of learned transcendental scholars.” Katha Upanisad 1.3.14

The Senses are Useless if Not Used in Kåñëa's Service
13.132
taravaù kià na jévanti bhasträù
kià na çvasanty uta
na khädanti na mehanti kià gräme
paçavo 'pare
Do the trees not live? Do the bellows of the blacksmith not breathe? All around us, do the beasts not eat and discharge semen? (Bhäg. 2.3.18)
13.133
çva-viò-varähoñöra-kharaiù
saàstutaù puruñaù paçuù
na yat-karëa-pathopeto jätu näma
gadägrajaù
Men who live like dogs, hogs, camels, and asses praise those men who never listen to the transcendental pastimes of Lord Çré Kåñëa, the deliverer from all evils. (Bhäg. 2.3.19)
13.134
bile batorukrama-vikramän ye na çåëvataù
karëa-puöe narasya
jihväsaté därdurikeva süta
na copagäyaty urugäya-gäthäù
One who has not listened to the messages about the prowess and marvelous acts of the Supreme Person and has not sung or chanted loudly the worthy songs about Him is considered to possess earholes like the holes of snakes and a tongue like the tongue of a frog. (Bhäg. 2.3.20)
13.135
bhäraù paraà paööa-kiréöa-juñöam
apy uttamäìgaà na namen mukundam
çävau karau no kurute saparyäà
harer lasat-käïcana-kaokaëau vä
The upper portion of the body, though crowned with a silk turban, is only a heavy burden if not bowed down before the Supreme Personality of Godhead, who can award liberation. And the hands, although decorated with glittering bangles, are like those of a dead man if not engaged in the service of Çré Hari. (Bhäg. 2.3.21)
13.136

liogäni viñëor na nirékñato

pädau nåëäà tau druma-janma-bhäjau
kñeträëi nänuvrajato harer
yau
Those eyes that do not look at the form of the Supreme Lord are like those printed on the plumes of a peacock, and the legs which do not move to the holy places are like tree trunks. (Bhäg. 2.3.22)
13.137
jévaï chavo bhägavatäìghri-reëuà
na jätu martyo 'bhilabheta yas tu
çré-viñëu-padyä
manujas tulasyäù
çvasaï chavo yas tu na veda gandham
The person who has not received the dust of the feet of the Lord's pure devotee upon his head is certainly a dead body. And, although breathing, the person who has never experienced the aroma of the Tulasé leaves from the lotus feet of the Lord is also a dead body. (Bhäg. 2.3.23)
Without the Mercy of Gauräìga it
is Impossible
to Control the Senses or Practice Bhakti
13.138

çré bhakti-märga iha kaoöaka-koöi-ruddhaù
hä hä kva yämi vikalaù kimahaà

karoñi
Now it is the age of Kali. My enemies, the
senses, are very strong. The beautiful path of bhakti is spiked with countless
thorns. My spirit is weak. My senses are powerful and agétäted.
O what shall I do? Where shall I go? O Lord Caitanya-candra, if you do
not grant me Your mercy, what shall I do to save myself? (Caitanya-candämåta
125)
The Six Kinds of Çaraëägati

rakñiñyatéti viçväso
goptåtve varaëaà tathä

çaraëägatiù
The six divisions of surrender are to accept
those things favorable for devotional service, to reject unfavorable things,
the conviction that Kåñëa will give all protection, to
accept the Lord as one's guardian or master, full self-surrender, and humility.
(Cc. Madhya 22.100, from Vaiñëava Tantra)
Without Çaraëägati There Can be no Auspiciousness
13.140

lokaù
O my Lord, the people of the world are embarrassed by material anxieties they are always afraid. They always try to protect wealth, body, and friends. They are filled with lamentation and unlawful desires and paraphernalia; and they avariciously base their undertakings on the perishable conceptions of "my" and "mine". As long as they do not take shelter of Your safe lotus feet, they are full of such anxieties. (Bhäg. 3.9.6)
13.141

Now I am confused about my duty and have lost all composure due to weakness. In that condition I am asking You to tell me clearly what is best for me. Now I am Your disciple and soul surrendered unto You. Please instruct me. (Bhagavad-gétä 2.7)
13.142

This divine energy of Mine, consisting of the three modes of nature, is difficult to overcome, but those who have surrendered unto Me can easily cross beyond it. (Bhagavad-gétä 7.14)
13.143

Anyone who is specifically favored by the Supreme Lord, due to unalloyed surrender to the service of the Lord, can overcome the insurmountable ocean of illusion and can understand the Lord. But those who are attached to the body, which is meant to be eaten by dogs and jackals cannot do so. (Bhäg. 2.7.42)
13.144
ananyäç cintayanto mäà

But those who are always attached to Me, who worship Me with devotion, meditating on My transcendental form to them I carry what they have and preserve what they lack. (Bhagavad-gétä 9.22)
13.145
kåñëa-bhakti-sudhäpänäd
deha-daihika-vismåteù
teçäà bhautikadehe'pi sac-cid-änanda-rüpatä
Drinking the nectar of Kåñëa-bhakti-rasa, the living being forgets the gross and subtle material bodies and becomes absorbed in transcendence. The body of such a devotee, although material, attains the qualities sat, cit, and änanda, or eternity, knowledge, and bliss. (Båhad-bhägavatämåta 2.3.45)
13.146
çaraëa laïä kare kåñëe
ätma-samarpaëa
kåñëa täre kare tat-käle
ätma-sama
When a devotee fully surrenders to Kåñëa, offering his very self, at that time Kåñëa accepts the devotee to be as good as His very self. (That is, the Lord accepts Him as one of his own personal associates.) (Cc. Madhya 22.102)
13.147
prabhu kahe,--"vaiñëava-deha 'präkåta'

sei deha kare tära cid-änanda-maya
apräkåta-dehe täora caraëa
bhajaya
Caitanya Mahäprabhu said, "The body of a devotee is never material. It is considered transcendental, full of spiritual bliss. At the time of initiation, when a devotee fully surrenders unto the service of the Lord, Kåñëa accepts him to be as good as Himself. When the devotee's body is thus transformed into spiritual existence, the devotee, in that transcendental body, renders service to the lotus feet of the Lord. (Cc. Antya 4.191-193)
13.148

Taking a straw in my teeth I fall at your
feet hundreds of times and implore you with sweet words, saying, "O noble
soul! Please throw out everything you have learned and cultivate attachment
to the lotus feet of the moonlike Çré Gauräìga.
(Caitanya-candämåta 120)
Humility
13.149

våthä
My dear friends, I have not the slightest
tinge of love of Godhead within my heart. When you see me crying in separation,
I am only making a false show of devotion. The proof that I have no love
for Kåñëa is the fact that while not seeing His beautiful
face as He plays His flute I continue to maintain My fly like existence.
(Cc. Madhya 2.45)
The Value of Association With a Pure Devotee
13.150
ata ätyantikaà kñemaà
påcchämo bhavato 'naghäù
saàsäre 'smin kñaëärdho
'pi sat-saìgaù çevadhir nåëäm
O sinless ones! We therefore inquire from you about that which is supremely auspicious for all living beings, for in this world association with saints even for a half a moment is the most valuable treasure in human society. (Bhäg. 11.2.30)
13.151
tulayäma lavenäpi na svargaà
näpunar-bhavam
bhagavat-saìgi-saìgasya martyänäà
kim utäçiñaù
Elevation to the heavenly planets and liberation from material existence cannot be compared to even a moment's association with a pure devotee of Kåñëa. What then can be said of material benedictions, which are for those who are destined to die? (Bhäg. 1.18.13)
13.152
bhayaà dvitéyäbhiniveçataù
syäd éçäd apetasya viparyayo 'småtiù
tan-mäyayäto budha äbhajet taà
bhaktyaikayeçaà guru-devatätmä
Fear arises when a living entity misidentifies
himself as the material body because of absorption in the external, illusory
energy of the Lord. When the living entity thus turns away from the Supreme
Lord, he also forgets his own constitutional position as a servant of the
Lord. This bewildering, fearful condition is effected by the potency for
illusion, called mäyä. Therefore, an itelligent person should
engage unflinchingly in the unalloyed devotional service of the Lord, under
the guidance of a bona fide spiritual master, whom he should accept as
his worshipable deity and as his very life and soul. (Bhäg. 11.2.37)
The Çrutis Identify the Worship of Devotees
and Association
with Saints as the Only Thing Worth Doing
13.153
tasmäd-ätmajïaà hyarcayed-bhütikämaù
A person wishing to attain divine opulence should worship one who is ätmajïa, self-realized. That is, he should worship a devotee of Çré Hari, the Supreme Personality of Godhead. (Muëòaka Upaniñad 3.1.10)
Sädhu-saëga is the Only Way
13.154
rahügaëaitat tapasä na yäti
na cejyayä nirvapaëäd gåhäd vä
na cchandasä naiva jalägni-süryair
vinä mahat-päda-rajo-'bhiñekam
My dear King Rahügaëa, unless one has the opportunity to smear his body with the dust of the lotus feet of great devotees, one cannot realize the Absolute Truth. One cannot realize the Absolute Truth simply by observing celibacy, by worshiping the Deity, by taking sannyäsa, by perfectly following the rules of the gåhastha äçrama, nor can one attain the truth by accepting severe penances and austerities, by studying the Vedas, nor by worshiping the gods of water and sun. Only by bathing in the dust of the lotus feet of a pure devotee is the Absolute Truth revealed. (Bhäg. 5.12.12)
Those Who Have Few Pious Credits
Cannot Get the Association of Great Souls
13.155
duräpä hy alpa-tapasaù sevä
vaikuëöha-vartmasu
yatropagéyate nityaà deva-devo janärdanaù
Those whose austerity is meager can hardly obtain the service of the pure devotees, who are progressing on the path back to the kingdom of God, Vaikuëöha. Pure devotees engage one hundred percent in glorifying the Supreme Lord, who is the Lord of the demigods and the controller of all living entities. (Bhäg. 3.7.20)
13.156
naiñäà matis tävad urukramäìghrià
spåçaty anarthäpagamo yad-arthaù
mahéyasäà päda-rajo-'bhiñekaà
niñkiïcanänäà na
våëéta yävat
Unless they smear upon their bodies the dust of the lotus feet of a Vaiñëava completely free from material contamination, persons very much inclined toward materialistic life cannot be attached to the lotus feet of the Lord. Only in this way can one be free from material contamination. (Bhäg. 7.5.32)

"IN EVERY TOWN AND VILLAGE the chanting of the Holy Name of Krishna shall be heard. This was the forecast made by Lord Caitanya Mahaprabhu almost 500 years ago in India. Today, as the Hare Krishna Mantra -- Hare Krishna Hare Krishna Krishna Krishna Hare Hare, Hare Rama Hare Rama Rama Rama Hare Hare -- resounds in Bombay and New York, Nairobi and Sydney, and in Paris and Hong Kong, the prophecy of Lord Caitanya stands fulfilled. The universal import of this "Samkirtan Movement" (the congregational chanting of the Holy Names of the Lord) was expressed by Lord Caitanya as follows:
"Glory to the Sri Krishna Samkirtan which cleanses the heart of all the dust accumulated for years together. Thus the fire of conditional life, of repeated birth and death, is extinguished. The Samkirtan Movement is the prime benediction for humanity at large because it spreads the rays of the benediction Moon. It is the life of all transcendental knowledge, it increases the ocean of transcendental bliss, and it helps us to have a taste of the full nectar for which we are always anxious."

Agama Tantra and the Vaishnava Samskaras as a way of life:
Recently I was asked, "Don't you find it an inconvenience to always be checking to see when is the right time to do this or the best time for that?"
In simple terms my answer was and still is; if you go to the bus or railway station or airport it is probably an intelligent venture to enquire about the times and routes of vehicles than to just hope that one will be along soon, or one is going in your direction.
There are subtle influences in the Universe that, for thousands of years gone by, advanced cultures have honoured, respected and utilised. Before the corruption of the Vedik literatures by the Christian and Moslem invaders to India all these things were used; Ayurvedik Medicine; Vedik Astrology; etc. Today there's a rennaisance among many to revive these arts.
We have been trained and studied to be able to provide these services. See some of my sites:

"The religious principles taught by Mohammed and Jesus Christ are similar to the religious principles taught by Vaishnava sects. Buddhism and Jainism are similar to Saiva-dharma. This is scientific consideration of truths regarding religious principles. Those who consider their own religious principles as real dharma and others religious principles as irreligion or subreligion are unable to ascertain the truth due to being influenced by prejudice. Actually religious principles followed by people in general are different only due to the different qualifications of the practitioners, but the constitutional religious principles of all living entities are one."

Hare Krsna!
In the download section of my website http://tinyurl.com/9er95 you will find a copy of Ganguly's complete English translation of the Mahabharata (originally in 13 hardback volumes) in HTML format. It is in a 7.5 MB zipped file.
The Mahabharata explains by example how Lord Krsna's Vedic culture and Varnashrama Dharma are meant to work. Where the Manu Smriti is a concise book of laws for Mankind the Mahabharata shows how those laws are applied. The Mahabharata along with the Ramayana have been the main foundation for the continuation of Vedic culture because they are easily accessible to the masses. The Mahabharata was actually written for the unfortunate people of the Kali Yuga to help uplift them. A close study of the Mahabharata and Ramayana in conjunction with the Manu Samhita would serve as a good guide on how to implement Varnashrama Dharma. And, in conjunction with the Srimad Bhagavatam, insight into Daivi Varnashrama Dharma. The Mahabharata is thus an essential text for anyone interested in implementing VAD.
The Mahabharata is a vast treasure house of Brahminical knowledge and as the Mahabharat itself says: "What is found in the Mahabharata may be found in other texts; whatever is not found in the Mahabharata is not found anywhere."
You will also find a PDF copy of a canto of Agnivesa's Caraka Samhita (an Ayurvedic text) entitled Sarirasthana, a fascinating account of how the body is formed starting with philosophical details, conception, karmic details, embryology etc. I once gave this text to an obstetrician to read while she was waiting to see me and she was astounded at how much knowledge was contained in such an ancient text.

Dear Vaisnavas,
Please accept my humble obeisances. All Glories to Srila Prabhupada.
In 1999 the devotees in Kazkhstan purchased a beautiful farm outside of the city of Almaty, Kazakhstan. Since that time substantial strides have been made in creating an agricultural community, a home for many vaisnavas, and the venue for a wonderful summer yearly festival attended by devotees from Central Asia and Russia.
Since October 2004 there have been many attempts from the government of Kazakhstan to push us from this property. This has been done by smear campaigns in the media and ongoing litigation in the courts.
On March 29, 2006 a case was conducted in the Almaty Oblast Court. Prior to issuing the ruling the judge declared that the legal arguments of the government land agency had no substance and that the arguments presented by the advocates representing our society were correct and in accordance to the Kazakhstan legal code.
But after private discussion in their chambers the judges emerged and issued a ruling against our society in which it is stated that the land be confiscated and returned to the government. This ruling was illegal and not based on legislation of the government of Kazakhstan.
We purchased the land at the market value in 1999. In 2004 we privatised the land according to the laws of Kazakhstan in. Since this time the value of this land has increased dramatically. The situation we have is that the powerful government land barons want to eliminate us by any illegal process that they may possess the land, again sell, and make astronomical profit.
We have neither time nor options left. Our last option is the Supreme Court of Kazakhstan, but need-less-to-say, the legal system does not work in this country. It is either a matter of paying for the decision or having a powerful person order the decision.
Thus we are requesting devotees throughout the world to assist us in different ways:
First, we are requesting you to send this letter to all the contacts you have.
Second, we are requesting you to print the following letter and send to the Administration of the President of Kazakhstan requesting him to intervene in this case.
Third, we are requesting you to contact the heads of religious organisations, the foreign ministries in your countries, international human rights agencies, and register an appeal that they will voice concern to the government of Kazakhstan.
And at last, we are humbly requesting that you will all pray that this situation may be reversed and our farm, Sri Vrindavan Dham, will not be stolen by the government of Kazakhstan.
The President of Kazakhstan has gained international respect for having hosted an international religious forum in 2003. Yet, despite the talks of religious equality and openness, he is allowing a religious society to be illegally evicted from their legally acquired property. It is an injustice performed in the name of religious equality.
With affectionate regards,
BB Govinda Swami

President's e-mail: sitePRK@global.kz
Dear President Nazarbayev,
It is with deep regret that we have been informed of your government's attempted confiscation of the land which is owned by the Kazakhstan Society for Krishna Consciousness.
The land has been legally purchased and privatised according to the land codes of Kazakhstan.
But since 2004 there has been ongoing litigation in an attempt by government officials to steal the land where the Kazakhstan Society for Krishna Consciousness has been officially registered, and situated, for the past seven years.
On March 29, 2006 a hearing was conducted in the Almaty Provincial Court.
The judge in charge of the case explained that he had carefully studied the case and that there was no substance in the arguments of the Government Land Committee and District Hakimat.
Yet, when the decision was read it was ruled that the land at issue be returned to the land reserve of Kazakhstan. The decision of the court was enacted due to executive pressure as it violates legislative and procedural rules of the Republic of Kazakhstan.
Mr. President, you want that your fine country come into the rank of the leading nations of the world.
You have shown your open mi
