Tonight! The Vedas vs. "New Age"
May 29th, 7PM PST/10:00 PM Eastern Time #hdg #hdgoswami #vedas #newage #krishna #shastra #prabhupada

It seems clear that sraddha, faith, interacts with

It seems clear that sraddha, faith, interacts with our life choices. For example, Krishna states in 4.39 that sraddhavan labhate jnanam, “One who has faith obtains knowledge. Clearly, that knowledge reinforces and expands faith, which expands knowledge.
On the negative side, people create addictions, which is a type of blind faith that drugs, sex or other addictive things will satisfy one, despite massive experience to the contrary. #hdg #hdgoswami #faith #sraddha #shastra #vedas #prabhupada #bhakti

LIVE Srimad-Bhagavatam 1.7.12 class tomorrow, Sunday, May 24th, @7am PDT. “Sūta Gosvāmī thus addressed the ṛṣis headed by Śaunaka: Now I shall begin the transcendental narration of the Lord Śrī Kṛṣṇa and topics of the birth, activities and deliverance of King Parīkṣit, the sage amongst kings, as well as topics of the renunciation of the worldly order by the sons of Pāṇḍu.“ #hdg #hdgoswami #srimadbhagavatam #shastra #vedas #prabhupada

I now use material legs and in Krishna Loka I have

I now use material legs and in Krishna Loka I have my own eternal legs (assuming I’m not an eternal tomato). Similarly, as a thinking, feeling soul, I now think and feel in the material realm with the aid of manas and buddhi. But in my eternal form I do my own thinking and feeling. I don’t think that any linguistic, philological, philosophical or heremeneutic argument will change what I and many others experience as the reality of our existence. #hdg #hdgoswami #shastra #vedas #prabhupada #soul #jiva

The verse quoted below, which in the MBh critical

The verse quoted below, which in the MBh critical edition is 4.39.18, does not explicitly say that Arjuna has light skin. The Sanskrit simply states that Arjuna’s ‘varna’ or ‘color’ is ‘durlabha’, ‘rare, and ’samah’, ’smooth.’ and that he performs ’shukla karma’, Shukla is a direct synonym of Arjuna, meaning ‘white, clear, pure, spotless, etc. Thus Arjuna’s deeds, not his skin, are directly called white, clear, or
pure, “shukla”. Further, in text 4.39.20, 2 verses later, Arjuna says that his tenth (and last) name is Krsna, a name given by his father out of love for the “little boy of dazzling dark complexion.” #hdg #hdgoswami #mahabharata #shastra #sanskrit #literaltranslation #vedas #bhakti #arjuna #prabhupada

It is not so easy to get out of Maya's clutches, so we have to be patient. You must continue to do your best without being discouraged by the inevitable imperfections of this world. With time you will be able to overcome all the problems. Krishna is always with us, even in the imperfect stages of life. #hdg #hdgoswami #sincerity #dharma #shastra #prabhupada #bhakti

It may not be easy for most to revive pure consciousness of Krishna but it is possible. For example, relatively few persons share your level of academic achievement, yet your research and study will ultimately benefit society in general. As we know, we live in an unusually materialistic, and even narcissistic age, but that very fact awakens in many a wish for something higher. #hdg #hdgoswami #bhakti #shastra #highertaste #gita #prabhupada #iskcon #krishnawest

We know there is much suffering in the material wo

We know there is much suffering in the material world. There are only three logical explanations:

1. God causes suffering to persons who did not choose to do evil. Thus God is evil.

2. God allows innocent people — people who did not choose to do punishable acts — to suffer. Here too, God is evil, or at least amoral.

3. People are suffering the results of their own choices. God is fair.

We cannot have in the same universe, in the same relevant sense, a good God, and souls suffering for acts they did not freely choose. We have to take seriously Krishna’s statements in the Gita that He is equal to everyone (9.29), and that he gives everyone precisely what they deserve (4.11). #hdg #hdgoswami #prabhupada #bhakti #yoga #bhaktiyoga #shastra #karma #freewill

Personally, I have some disciples around the world

Personally, I have some disciples around the world who are inspired by other gurus. I think that every guru in ISKCON that has more than a few disciples has that experience. My view is that ISKCON is a big spiritual family and it is perfectly natural that over time different devotees will find inspiration with different preachers.

An important related point is that I try to treat my disciples and followers as adults. Just as parents try to raise their children to be mature, self-reliant adults, so a guru’s goal should be that a disciple becomes a mature, adult in Krishna consciousness. My duty as a guru is not to keep my disciples in a childlike state in which I manage the details of their lives. Rather I must do my best to help them be Krishna conscious, according to their own natures. #hdg #hdgoswami #prabhupada #guru #disciple #shastra #krishnaconsciousness
