EXCERPTS FROM DISCOURSES OF HIS GRACE MADHUPANDITA DASA

Dedicated to my spiritual master His Divine Grace Abhaya Charan Bhaktivedanta Swami 'Srila Prabhupada'

Gems of spiritual wisdom-1 : Excerpts from discourses of His Grace Madhupandit Dasa


Hare Krishna,

Here are some the gems of spiritual wisdom that I fished out from nectarean waters of the discourses of His Grace Madhapandita Dasa, President of Srila Prabhupada’s ISKCON & Chairman Akshaya Patra.

• Satisfaction in satisfaction of Krishna is the way of life for a devotee

• We must put conscious efforts to perform pure devotional service

• Purifying our consciousness by keeping Krishna in centre is Krishna Consciousness

• A devotee finds satisfaction in doing what satisfies Guru & Krishna

• Pleasure & Pain is not outside but inside us.

• Retrain your mind to act in Krishna Consciousness. To be able to do that iis true pleasure.

• Each time we give up Maya we earn mileage to go back to God-head

• The real war is war against Maya

• The enemy is right within us & not outside of us

• Body is not the enemy but the bodily concept is.

• Maya is selling hope. Hope is the weapon of Maya.

• Every sacrifice you make for Krishna you earn mileage to go back to God-head

• Simply understanding philosophy is not always enough. We have to fine tune our personal qualities in line with the philosophy.

• Lord is within the heart but unfortunately we do not associate with Him. This is Maya’s success.

• When we perform devotional service to the Lord we can defeat Maya.

• We need to understand that Krishna is the main player & I am only His servant

• Secret to succeeding in devotional service is to simply be with people who are rendering pure devotional service.

The teachings in the discourses of HG Madhupandita Dasa should put to rest the demons of doubts that his detractors have against him.

MAYAVADA BHASHYA – The Great blunder

Dedicated to my spiritual master His Divine Grace Abhaya Charan Bhaktivedanta Swami 'Srila Prabhupada'

When Krishna says,
man-mana bhava
mad-bhakto
mad-yaji
mam namaskuru [Bg. 18.65], etc.,
we, unlike the so-called scholars, do not say that Krishna and His inner spirit are different. Krishna is absolute, and there is no difference between Krishna's name, Krishna's form, Krishna's qualities, Krishna's pastimes, etc. This absolute position of Krishna is difficult to understand for any person who is not a devotee of Krishna in the system of parampara (disciplic succession).

Generally the so-called scholars, politicians, philosophers, and svamis, without perfect knowledge of Krishna, try to banish or kill Krishna when writing commentary on Bhagavad-gita. Such unauthorized commentary upon Bhagavad-gita is known as Mayavada-bhasya, and Lord Caitanya has warned us about these unauthorized men. Lord Caitanya clearly says that anyone who tries to understand Bhagavad-gita from the Mayavadi point of view will commit a great blunder. The result of such a blunder will be that the misguided student of Bhagavad-gita will certainly be bewildered on the path of spiritual guidance and will not be able to go back to home, back to Godhead.
