When Everything is Polluted

Water is polluted, air is polluted, ether is polluted. Everything is dying by pollution. A day will come when the whole ocean will be polluted with poisons, and if anyone will eat fish or any food from the sea, he will die. In the name of saving the agriculture, people are spraying poisons everywhere to kill insects, but that poison comes in the grains and thus all are polluted. You will eat those grains, you will become mad; so many diseases will come, and you will all die.

If you are abusing anyone, criticizing anyone, or quarreling with anyone, these sounds will evaporate in the air and it will go throughout the whole universe. If you are speaking any nonsense, it will not go in vain; it will go throughout the whole world by air.

If you take a stone and throw it into a pond, some waves will be created and they will touch all ends of the pond. This universe is like that pond, and air is everywhere in the universe. When one chants:

Hare Kṛṣṇa Hare Kṛṣṇa Kṛṣṇa Kṛṣṇa Hare Hare
Hare Rāma Hare Rāma Rāma Rāma Hare Hare

this will evaporate and create so many waves of air, and those waves will touch everywhere—up to the ends of the world—moving here and there and purifying the entire universe from all these pollutions.

    ByBhakta Bandhav

    When kṛṣṇa-rati, or in other words the sthāyibhāva (the permanent emotion of the heart in one of the five primary relationships of śānta, dāsya, sakhya and so on), becomes exceedingly tasty for the devotee by virtue of the elements known as vibhāva, anubhāva, sāttvika-bhāva and vyabhicāri-bhāva, induced through the medium of śravaṇa, kīrtana and so on, it is called bhakti-rasa…

  • How Will I Find a Bona Fide Guru?

    ByBhakta Bandhav

    Kṛṣṇa will manage. You cannot find a bona fide guru by yourself. If you are sincere, Kṛṣṇa will arrange for you to take the shelter of a bona fide guru. Any of the disciples of Svāmījī had never made any effort to find him. But, he went door to door of every house and gave everyone the instructions of Kṛṣṇa. So, you should not be worried about these matters. The opposing devotees cannot tell all these truths to you…

  • Whatever Limbs of Bhakti

    ByBhaktabandhav

    The form of your Gurudeva which you have seen and served will surely come to you, so you can pray to him that he will manifest in that truth in your heart. Then, when he gives you his darsana, at that time your meditation will be very easy for you. It is certain that he will somehow give an idea, and after that you will be able to realize and serve him there…

  • Die to Live

    ByBhakta Bandhav

    …This is the meaning of slavery: A slave has no position; by the sweet will of his master he may be sacrificed. Of course, in the lower material plane such things may be quite abominable and unthinkable, but we should understand that in the higher realm of divinity, in principle, such a degree of sacrifice is shown by the servants of the Lord. The depth of their love is such that they are prepared to sacrifice themselves wholesale, to die to live, for Krsna’s slightest satisfaction or whim. But we should remember that whatever is His pleasure, He is the absolute good. So by such sacrifice we do not actually die, but live by gaining entrance into a higher plane of dedication…

  • Śrī Tulasī Parikramā and āratī

    ByBhakta Bandhav

    For some time, the Śrī Gauḍīya Sārasvata Vaiṣṇava sampradāya had no kīrtana to sing at the time of śrī tulasī-parikramā and āratī. Some devotees used to sing Śrī Kṛṣṇadāsa’s tulasī kṛṣṇa preyasī namo namaḥ / vilāsa-kuñja diyo vāsa. This is appropriate for highly elevated rāgānuga-sādhakas, but not for vaidhī-bhakti-sādhakas who do not possess the greed to reside in the vilāsa-kuñja…
