Japa walk 1.24.20 Renunciation is a necessary but insufficient step. We must positively devote ourselves to Krishna. #HDGoswami #HDG

Ultimately one's primary guru is the guru that most inspires and
empowers one in Krishna consciousness. That is the general rule. #HDGoswami #HDG

Krishna explains in the Gita 9.4-6 how He pervades this world. He gives the example that all air exists within space and so everything exists within Him and pervades all things. He also explains His all-pervading feature at 6.30 and 13.29.
And the Brahma-samhita 35 states that Krishna is in every atom. This does not mean that Krishna lives in a piece of wood, or the floor. He explains in the Gita 9.4-6 that He is there but He is not there. In other words, He occupies His own spiritual space within every material thing. #HDGoswami #HDG

Krishna says that austerity that harms us is ignorance and one should not accept what harms us. A devotee must be humble but not self-destructive. #HDGoswami #HDG

Instagram post 2222624041083090023_2856149001

Krishna consciousness means seeing things as they are, and not imagining false things in the name of humility. #HDGoswami #HDG

Without a soul, or God, we are not equal. #HDGoswami #HDG

The truth is that we are a single sampradaya with many great souls such as Rupa Goswami and Lord Nityananda. Prabhupada stated that on the spiritual platform 1 + 1 = 1. In other words, we are followers of Rupa Goswami and we are certainly followers of Lord Nityananda. Krishnadasa Kaviraja states that one who accepts Lord Caitanya but does not accept Lord Nityananda will fall down. And of course we are Rupanugas. So it’s not either/or. Some ’scholars’ lack common sense. #HDGoswami #HDG

Krishna is very intelligent, and the interactions of all souls whose karma interacts is perfectly arranged. I realize that the algorithms are inconceivable, but Krishna is very good at math, among His other talents. #HDGoswami #HDG

It seems that polygamy mostly took place among ksatriyas. We have to keep in mind that often Vedic dharma is realistic and deals with people as they are. Idealistic laws that people don’t follow actually weaken the general societal commitment to lawfulness.

We find thoughout history that passionate rulers tend to be promiscuous.

Also, Vedic culture indirectly discourages polygamy by giving so many examples of great personalities who ruined their lives by polygamy. Thus King Dasaratha died by the jealous plotting of a co-wife. King Citraketu lost his only son for a similar reason. in fact the Sanskrit word for co-wife — sapatni — also means ‘enemy’, sapatna. #HDGoswami #HDG

The Bhagavatam states that the more we advance, the more lust, greed, etc are weakened. And in this age, our only real hope is the Holy Name of Krishna, Hari Nama. Prabhupada said we can measure our advancement by seeing how much we are free of these qualities. #HDGoswami #HDG
