Please accept my blessings. I have received your letter dated May
9, 1972 and I have noted the contents carefully. Actually it is the
duty of the spiritual master to find fault with his students so that
they may make progress, not that he should always be praising them. So
if you find some criticism, kindly accept it in that spirit. I am only
interested in that you along with all my other students should become
Krishna Conscious. Read the rest of this entry →

SOUNDS OF NEW JAYAPUR
One fine, sunny morning this last week, I was marking small junk trees along the edge of the forest to be cut in the making of the new hillside pasture, when I stopped to listen to the sounds of the project that were resounding clearly across our tropical rainforest valley next to the seacoast:
1. There was the small chain saw, not far away, as Isaac cut the bush stumps at ground level for the new pasture,
2. And the tractor, as Bill was moving some timber over to the equipment shed, reminding me of when Srila Prabhupada came to New Talavan, Read the rest of this entry →
“Everyone is trying to become fortunate”–SP
May 14, 2013 in Articles, Damaghosa Dasa by Nityananda Rama dasa

That is not possible. Annad bhavanti. Krsna also says in the Bhagavad-gita, annad bhavanti bhutani. If you have got sufficient anna, eatables, foodstuff, then you become happy.
So three things: … you have got big, big stock. That is required. There may be scarcity at times, but if you keep stock, then there is no trouble. This one, no foolish rascal should be worshiped, food grains should be nicely stocked, and the third thing, most important, dampatyoh kalaho nasti: “There is no disagreement between husband and wife.” If these three things are there, then you haven’t got to pray to the goddess of fortune, “Kindly be merciful.” She will automatically come. “Here is a very nice place. I shall stay here.”

This is spiritual tendency–SP
May 9, 2013 in Articles, Damaghosa Dasa by Nityananda Rama dasa
750304mw.dal Conversations Prabhupada: The thing is that here material world means that whatever you want, you have to work for it. That is material world. Things are there, but you have to work for it. In the spiritual world there is no need of working. You get all necessities. That is the difference.
The three divisions of God’s energies. One energy is His spiritual energy; another energy–these living entities, they are also spiritual; another energy–material energy, where there is ignorance and work. That is material energy. In the material energy everyone is ignorant and they have to work. Karma. Karma means working. Read the rest of this entry →
Cleanliness is next to Godliness–SP
May 8, 2013 in Articles, Damaghosa Dasa by Nityananda Rama dasa
67-10-03.Nan Letter: Nandarani, Krsna Devi, Subala, Uddhava
…I am always with you. Our procedure is very simple and consistent. We chant, we read from Bhagavad-gita & Srimad-Bhagavatam and we distribute prasadam. Another thing I request is that everything in the Temple should be kept nice and clean. Everyone should wash hands before touching anything of Krishna’s. We should always remember that Krishna is the purest & similarly only the pure can associate with Him. Cleanliness is next to Godliness. Your ever well-wisher A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami

“We are not painting the tin car”-SP
May 4, 2013 in Articles, Damaghosa Dasa by Nityananda Rama dasa
750301r3.atl Conversations Madhava: Can we say that the living entity is there, and that he is the one that makes the molecules and the atoms come together to form a body just like the scientists give explanation? No? We can’t?
Prabhupada: No. Because the living entity is there for the formation of his body, so many things are going on, action and reaction of the matter. That’s all. That is depending on his desires. It is so subtle thing. He is desiring, and action, reaction is going on.
And as soon as the living entity is not there, these action and reaction will stop. Read the rest of this entry →
