Today 124 years ago, the Guru of His Holiness Radh

Today 124 years ago, the Guru of His Holiness Radhanath Swami, His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada appeared on this earth.

A guru is one who takes one from darkness to light, from ignorance to knowledge, from suffering to true happiness.

Below Radhanath Swami shares a moment almost 50 years ago which convinced him that Srila Prabhupada was his guru and a true messenger of God.

"I met so many gurus who had so many philosophies and I liked almost all of them, because I was just learning. I discuss this in the book I wrote. I remember, I was in Vrindavan in 1971 and I was among 5 or 6 other people sitting around Srila prabhupada. He wasn’t my guru then; he was just one of the saints I was coming to visit. And Srila Prabhupada was visiting Vrindavan for a few days, coming from somewhere else. Somebody asked him, “Are you the guru for the whole world?” He didn’t say anything. I was really very excited with anticipation: what is he going to say? Most people would say, “Yes.” And after he paused for a few minutes, he looked down to the ground. With tears of humility in his eyes, he said, “No, I am the servant of everyone. That’s all.” And I was thinking, “He is really the guru of the whole world! A true guru is not one who claims to be God. A true guru is one who claims to be a humble messenger of God.”

At the age of 69, Srila Prabhupada left the comforts of India and decided to teach the timeless and universal messages of love, compassion and God consciousness from the tradition of Bhakti throughout the whole world.

In just 12 years, a very small glimpse of his achievements include :

* Srila Prabhupada established 108 Krishna temples,ashrams, schools and farm communities (over 700 now in 2020)

* Published 80 volumes of books across 28 languages on the science of self realisation, and Krishna Bhakti Yoga with over half a billion copies sold since 1965.
⠀
* He inspired one of the first global chain of vegan & vegetarian restaurants.⠀⠀

* He inspired millions of people to live a God conscious life and dedicate their lives to help better the world by living and teaching the message of love and compassion.

When we have a strong foundation that is based on

When we have a strong foundation that is based on spiritual values and morals then whatever our circumstances, we will be able to handle it with integrity and gratitude.

Happy Janmashtami! “Janmashtami is the festival

Happy Janmashtami!

“Janmashtami is the festival commemorating the appearance of Krishna in this world. He appeared 5,000 years ago in a prison cell in Mathura. Janmashtami represents the appearance of hope in the dark night of hopelessness, of virtue in the fortress of vices, through the appearance of the Absolute Truth, Krishna.

The sun rises in the East each day. Not that it is born that time, but it comes to our relative vision and with each setting, it no longer appears to our vision. My spiritual master, Srila Prabhupada said that Krishna is within everyone’s heart and with the sincerity of our devotion, can appear to us every day. He reciprocates to us according to our desires.

The Bhagavad Gita teaches the process by which we can achieve the highest joy of Bhakti Yoga and also share it with others. When we celebrate Janmashtami, it should be a time when we commit and dedicate ourselves to live by the will of Krishna. This is real celebration.

Today, in the name of God, there is so much division and disunity. To help us rise above all externality, ego, selfishness and greed and understand that the real pleasure we’re seeking is unmotivated, unconditional love, is the purpose of religious practices. Each time we invoke Krishna’s names with sincere feeling and devotion, he appears, and it is Janmashtami. Krishna is manifesting and appearing within our hearts and our lives.

Across the world, people make elaborate offerings and decorations and organise grand events to celebrate Krishna’s birthday. With no monetary gains in return, they make time from their daily routine, to serve – to share our love for Krishna through service is the real spirit of Janmashtami.”
