4. Srila Haridas Thakura erklärt, wie man die zehn Vergehen verhindert


4. Srila Haridas Thakura erkl�rt im Hari-Naam-Cintamani wie man die zehn Vergehen verhindert

Im Hari-Naam-Cintamani, erkl�rt Naamacharya Srila Haridasa Thakura folgenden Punkt:

avisranta name naam-aparadha jaya;
tahe aparadha kabhu sthana nahi paya.

�Nur durch immerw�hrendes Chanten des Hare Krischna Mahamantras, bei Tag und Nacht, k�nnen die zehn Vergehen gegen Krischnas Name getilgt werden. Beim andauernden Chanten von Krischnas Name kann der Chanter nicht wieder in die zehn Vergehen verwickelt werden.�

Erl�uterung von Srila Bhaktivinoda Thakura:
�Andauerndes Chanten (avisranta naam): Nur derjenige, welcher den heiligen Namen Tag und Nacht immer mit einem �berragenden Gef�hl chantet, ausser w�hrend der Zeit, die er f�r die k�rperlichen Grundbed�rfnisse wie Schlaf und so weiter ben�tigt, kann die zehn Vergehen erfolgreich vernichten.�

Also nur diejenige Person, welche das Hare Krischna Mahamantra Tag und Nacht immer sehr gef�hlsvoll und mit einer tiefen Verbundenheit und ohne Unterbruch, ausser w�hrend des Schlafens, chantet, kann tats�chlich die zehn Vergehen zerst�ren. Wer kann diesen Sadhana in den Umst�nden vom gegenw�rtigen Zeitalter des Kali noch durchf�hren? Ein sehr, sehr seltener Gottgeweihter k�nnte dies vielleicht tun, vielleicht einer von einer Million. Deshalb sollten die gew�hnlichen Menschen, ausser wenn sie das Hare Krischna Mahamantra immerzu mit einem Vielfachen von 64 t�glichen Runden chanten k�nnen, ganz Zuflucht bei den Namen von Nityananda und Gauranga nehmen, weil das die einzige andere und einfachere Methode ist, die zehn Vergehen zu zerst�ren, als das Hare Krischna Mahamantra selbst andauernd zu chanten.

Die wiederholten Aussagen aus dem Padma Purana, dem Hari-nama-cintamani, dem Caitanya-Caritamrita, dem Navadvipa-Dhama-Mahatmya und anderen Schiften besagen, dass es eigentlich zwei Wege gibt, die schrecklichen zehn Vergehen beim Chanten des Hare Krischna Mahamantras zu zerst�ren. Diese Vergehen sind die einzigen Hindernisse auf dem Pfad eines Sadhaka, welcher Krischna-prema (Liebe zu Gott) erreichen will. Diese zwei Arten, wie diese Vergehen vernichtet werden k�nnen, sind:

1. Sehr oft und regelm�ssig Zuflucht bei den Mantrarajas Nityananda und Gauranga nehmen.
2. Das Hare Krischna Mahamantra fortw�rend, rund um die Uhr und ohne Unterbruch zu chanten, und zwar          64 Runden t�glich, oder ein Vielfaches davon.

Der zweite Vorgang des immerw�hrenden Chantens (mindestens 64 Runden t�glich) ist sehr schwierig f�r die bedingten Seelen im Kali-Yuga, welche schon damit M�he haben, 16 Runden Mahamantra t�glich zu chanten, und zwar aus einem Mangel aus Zeit, welcher von einem Mangel an Geschmack herr�hrt, welcher wiederum von all den vielen Vergehen in ihrem Herzen kommt. Es ist klar offensichtlich, dass der Vorgang des andauernden Chantens vom Hare Krischna Mahamantra nur von einem sehr fortgeschrittenen Gottgeweihten angenommen werden kann, welcher Bhakti schon seit mehreren Leben praktiziert. Nat�rlich sollten einmal alle Sadhakas auf diese Stufe gelangen, wo sie mindestens 100000 Namen Gottes t�glich chanten k�nnen, aber das kann tats�chlich nur von sehr, sehr wenigen aufrichtigen Seelen praktiziert werden.

Deshalb ist es viel praktischer und sehr kraftvoll f�r den angehenden Spiritualisten, wie es auch von Srila Prabhupada im ersten Zitat empfohlen wird, oft und regelm�ssig bei den Nityananda- und Gauranga-Mantrarajas Zuflucht zu nehmen. Das bedeutet, die Manrarajas mindestens je 1000 Mal t�glich zu chanten (zehn Runden) und dann das Chanten auf 32, 64, 128 und 256 Runden t�glich zu erh�hen, zus�tzlich zum Chanten des Hare Krischna Mahamantras. Dies wird den Neuling bef�higen, sehr schnell auf die Stufe des vergehensfreien Chantens des Hare Krischna Mahamantras zu gelangen. Das ist die Schlussfolgerung von Srila Prabhupada und allen Acharyas, den offenbarten Schriften und von Nityananda selbst.

Re: My Video Reply to the Puri Incident Regarding Shrila Prabhupada


lowerthanarat, what if people become angry on us because we don't eat meat, should we become humble and give in to their desires so that we don't agitate them and start eating the meat? You say that holding Jagannatha Yatra in other countries on other dates is ok but holding in India on other dates is not right just because it disturbs some people. Why should there be such a distinction? Either it is right or wrong. Please view my video for the scriptural points I have presented in support of Shrila Prabhupada. Shrila Prabhupada organized Shri Jagannatha Yatra is different places around the world more as Lord Jagannatha's Shobha Yatra. He never wanted the importance of the original Puri Ratha Yatra to be compromised. In fact, he wanted the importance of the original Puri Ratha Yatra to be known all over the world. My humble suggestion to ISKCON would be to henceforward call it Shri Jagannatha Shobha Yatra instead of Shri Jagannatha Ratha Yatra if some people misunderstand and think that it minimizes the importance of the original Puri Ratha Yatra. According to Vedic scriptures and Bhakti Rasamrita Sindhu, Shobha Yatra for one's worshipable Deities can be held every day or as often as desired. Also a devotee can remember, organize and participate in any eternal pastime of the Lord on any day. No one can stop anyone for this.

Also, this is a discussion about Deity Worship rules and systems. Why should they take it to a personal level against Shrila Prabhupada who is great devotee of Lord Jagannatha and burn his effigy? They could have requested for a public debate about this on the basis of the scriptures and let the neutral-minded Vedic scholars and devotees decide who is wrong and right. Or they could have publicly pointed out that they think that the system is wrong, but they absolutely did not have show their anger directly against Shrila Prabhupada in this way. According to the Puranas, among the six kinds of offenses against Vaishnavas, harming, criticizing, envying and becoming angry on Vaishnavas are the four main ones. Nityaaananda! Gauraanga! Hare Krishna!

Daaso'smi, BR Sadhu Swami Gaurangapada.

PS. I request if some devotee can transcribe the above video, it would be a very helpful.

Re: My Video Reply to the Puri Incident Regarding Shrila Prabhupada


Orissa Protests �Rath Yatra� by ISKCON in Delhi

We read with some interest car festival that was organised by International Society for Krishna Consciousness (ISKCON) in New Delhi on November 23.
Would Srila Prabhupada have sanction such a festival knowing that it would invoke such anger.
�Servitors burnt effigy of Srila Prabhupad, the founder acharyya of ISKCON. Shouting slogans against the organisers, these servitors threatened not to allow the ISKCON followers to Puri.�
This is not vaisnava aparadha as it was invoked by people not listening to the people�s reaction to holding a car festival outside Puri, the festival was not even at the proper time of the year when the Jagannath deitys make the journey out of the temple.
We all know in our vaisnava tradition this verse about not disturbing others.

Cc Antya 20.21
trinad api su-nicena taror iva sahishnuna
amanina mana-dena kirtaniyah sada harih

TRANSLATION
��One who thinks himself lower than the grass, who is more tolerant than a tree, and who does not expect personal honor but is always prepared to give all respect to others can very easily always chant the holy name of the Lord.�

By checking out Srila Prabhupada�s books, and multi- media we can understand Srila Prabhupada never held such a festival in India. However grand Ratha Yatra festivals were held in other countries around the world such as Melbourne, London, San Francisco etc.
Srila Prabhupada was very careful no to disturb tradition of India�s ancient culture. Even when opening Sri Krsna Balaram temple in Vrndavan he had the local brahmana�s to do ceremony, and not his own disciples. This was to make sure the Indian culture preserved and accepted by the people of India.
Srila Prabhupada did hold grand pandal programs which thousands of people attended. In these festivals there were lectures, kirttan, prasadam distribution, even marriages

�1975 Correspondence Letter to: Madhava Maharaja�Bhaktivedanta Manor 8 March, 1975
�A similar letter was addressed to Sripada Sridhara Maharaja inviting him, but he has not objected to the temple being open on the Sri Rama Navami day. Sridhara Maharaja on account of his uncertain health condition will not be able to take any active part in celebrating the ceremony, but he has promised to come provided his health permits. I have therefore entrusted the matter to a learned pandita, brahmana, Bhimasena Vedacarya, a great astrologer and learned brahmana. He has agreed to conduct the ceremony. Details may be discussed as soon as I return to India by the 16th of March in Bombay, then we will have a detailed program. Another thing is that I have invited the Governor of U.P., Mr. Channa Reddy and he has also agreed to join the ceremony. Under the circumstances, I don't think it will be possible to change the scheduled date. If we change the date, the Governor may not be available because he has his program fixed up�.

It�s so easy to enrage the Indian people, and spoil the good name of ISKCON
Srila Prabhupada�s Lilamrta Vol 6
Within a few days, a letter came from Gopala Krishna giving the facts of the Mayapur incident. About fifty Muslim men were stealing crops from the ISKCON land. When Nitai-canda tried to stop them, they attacked him, cutting his head in three places. Later, while he was being treated in the temple infirmary, the men came and beat Nitai-canda and stripped one of the ladies naked. Meanwhile, another 250 men attacked, breaking the gates, cutting phone and electric wires, and destroying the water pumps. Wanting to scare the mob, Bhavananda had fired a shot in the air, but when they did not disperse he fired another shot, injuring two men.
In the meantime, the attackers had broken both hands of one of the gurukula teachers and beaten many other devotees. Two hours later the police arrived and recommended the devotees go to Krishnanagar police station-twenty miles away-to file a complaint. When the devotees had reached the station, they had been arrested, and the two seriously injured devotees were denied medical treatment. Bhavananda Goswami was still in jail. Prabhupada said it was a plot to drive away the Hare Krishna men.
If we did not know the reaction of the car festival:
�public relation officer Laxmidhar Pujapanda said Dibyasingh Dev, scion of Puri Royal family, had requested other State government not to allow celebration of Car Festival on any unscheduled date�
Now we know about holding the festival out of season so please do not disturb the people of India and give ISKCON a bad name.
Srila Prabupada gave this one example:
Nectar of Instruction, Upadesamrita text 1 purport
�For instance, a thief may know perfectly well that he may be arrested for his stealing, and he may actually even see a thief arrested by the police, yet he continues to steal. Experience is gathered by hearing and seeing. One who is less intelligent gathers experience by seeing, and one who is more intelligent gathers experience by hearing. When an intelligent person hears from the lawbooks and sastras, or scriptures, that stealing is not good and hears that a thief is punished when arrested, he refrains from theft. A less intelligent person may first have to be arrested and punished for stealing to learn to stop stealing. However, a rascal, a foolish man, may have the experience of both hearing and seeing and may even be punished, but still he continues to steal.�
�Despite the protest last year, ISKCON had celebrated the car festival in New Delhi. It had evoked sharp reactions among servitors and other die-hard followers of Jagannath cult�
Even last year ISKCON had bad publicity about the celebration of the of the car festival last year, but still they are invoking anger of the people who have supported them in the past
���������������������������������������
News paper article
Puri: A number of servitors of Jagannath Temple and cultural enthusiasts of Puri on Tuesday took to the street protesting the proposed car festival to be organised by International Society for Krishna Consciousness (ISKCON) in New Delhi on November 23.

They were enraged over untimely celebration of the festival. Servitors burnt effigy of Srila Prabhupad, the founder acharyya of ISKCON. Shouting slogans against the organisers, these servitors threatened not to allow the ISKCON followers to Puri.

�Ratha Yatra is usually celebrated in the month of June and July. Since Puri is the real abode of Lord Jagannath, the festival timing should be followed by everyone in and outside the State. So celebrating Ratha Yatra on an unscheduled date is anti-Hindu,� said Priyadarshan Patnaik, national convenor of Jagannath Sena, a local outfit.

The State government and the Jagannath Temple Administration (JTA) should take action against ISKCON authorities and prevent organisers at New Delhi from celebrating the Rath Yatra. Reacting to the development JTA�s public relation officer Laxmidhar Pujapanda said
Dibyasingh Dev, scion of Puri Royal family, had requested other State government not to allow celebration of Car Festival on any unscheduled date. Despite the protest last year, ISKCON had celebrated the car festival in New Delhi. It had evoked sharp reactions among servitors and other die-hard followers of Jagannath cult.

However, Bhubaneswar unit of ISKCON had disassociated from the whole controversy. Chief of ISKCON, Bhubaneswar Golak Mohapatra said, �we are not part of the decision taken at New Delhi. We will follow the rituals of Jagannath Temple at Puri. We have even passed a resolution to this effect.�

Wandering in Ekachakraa Song


Aami Ekachakraa pathe pathe gaaibo Nitaai Naam
Gucche Jaabe monera dhuli purno habe ei jibon

Nitaaiyera kripaa pele aamaar purno habe janom
Purno habe amaar aashaa dhonyo habe moron

Bhikshaa paatra loye haate bhikhari shaajilaam
Kabe premera bhikshaa paabo, Nityaananda Raam?

Ekachakraa Yogapithe paawa jaay Nitaai sanga
Shekhaane dekhte paarbo Nitaaiyera prema taranga

Sandhini dasi bole, Kabe sei dina habe?
Nitaai Tumi doyaal thaakura (aamaake) niye jaao tomaar sange!

Translation:

On the paths of Ekachakraa Dhaam I will sing Nitaai's name.
All the dirt and dust of the mind will be cleansed and my life will become worthwhile.

When I get Nitaai's mercy then my birth will have meaning. All my desires will become fulfilled. My death will also be auspicious.

Taking a beggers bowl in hand I have dressed up as a beggar. When will I get the alms of pure love, Nityaananda Raam?

One can get Nitaai's direct association in the Ekachakraa Yogapith. Over there I will get to see the waves of Nitaai's love.

Sandhini dasi says, "When will that day come?"
Nitaai, You are so merciful, please take me with You!

(Song composed by Sridevi Sandhini dasi.

Re: bhaktatommy's blog


�Another effective method for ridding oneself of apathy towards the Holy Name is to sit in a closed room alone and meditate on the Name as did the previous sages. Or one can cover the head and face with a cloth and concentrate on the sound of the Holy Name. This will immediately fix the mind firmly on the Holy Name; slowly, one develops attraction for the Name, and the offense of apathetic inattention will vanish."

(Bhaktivinoda Thakura  Harinama-cintamani Ch.12)
