I Will Always Have Full Love And Affection For ISKCON
ByBhakta Bandhav June 14, 2020June 12, 2020

…ISKCON has no father or mother like me. You should understand this. Whether they respect me or not, I will always have full love and affection for ISKCON. I care for them like their father and mother and as a śikṣā-guru. If a disciple abandons the beneficial path and resorts to an unbeneficial one, even though the disciple abandons the guru, the guru can never leave his disciple. So, I can never leave ISKCON, I will have to follow what Svāmījī has ordered me to do, whether the leaders like it or not…

Don’t Block the Current of Bhakti
ByBhakta Bandhav June 13, 2020June 12, 2020

Svāmījī and our Guru-varga embody this dynamic current of bhakti. This current originated from Kṛṣṇa who passed it down to Brahmā and this current culminates in the presence of our guru. If we want to control this current by many rules and regulations, then the current will be stopped. Bhakti is not bound by any artificial rules and regulations. Bhakti is bound by her own rule and regulation—love and affection. By control, everything will be spoiled…

We are all from the one family of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu—in Australia, America, England or Holland, or even in Muslim countries – no harm. Those who think, “We are of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu” and are chanting Hare Krsna—all are in our family, and we should try to give them honor…

HOW TO DEEPLY PERFORM ARATI (New Braja 1997)
ByBhakta Bandhav May 13, 2020March 30, 2020

If you are worshiping Radha and Krsna and performing Their arati, and at that time if you sing the song of Narahari-rupa Lord Nrsimhadeva, “kesava dhrta-narahari-rupa jaya jagadisa hare,” what will be the use? Narahari cannot go to Vrndavana. Parama-pujapada Srila Bhaktivedanta Swami Maharaja gave this mantra at first, before he had given the diksa-mantras of Radha and Krsna. He told his young disciples to do this, because he was thinking, “Somehow they should begin their worship…”

Full Siva Tattva – 03 July 1997
ByBhakta Bandhav May 9, 2020April 11, 2020

Common people generally don’t know anything, and so they thought that Ramesvara meant that Sankara is the God of Rama, and that Rama is controlled by Sankara. The demigods were of the opinion that Rama and Sankara are the same, and both are God. But Siva, Sankara himself, told them, “I am not the God of Rama. Rama is my beloved and my God.” Sankara is called Ramesvara because of this. He himself told this…

DID SRILA PRABHUPADA KNOW? – Holland July 1997
ByBhakta Bandhav May 5, 2020April 28, 2020

Considering all these points we can understand that Prabhupada did not do anything improper. He was sarvajna, and he wanted to do good for all. It was not the fault of Prabhupada; it was fault of their bad karma of past births and also this birth. We should realize this…
