Krsna Kirtan at Sri Sri Gaura Nitai Mandir
SB 3.5.3-O my lord, great philanthropic souls travel on the earth on behalf of the Supreme Personality of Godhead to show compassion to the fallen souls who are averse to the sense of subordination to the Lord.
PURPORT-To be obedient to the wishes of the Supreme Lord is the natural position of every living entity. But due only to past misdeeds, a living being becomes averse to the sense of subordination to the Lord and suffers all the miseries of material existence. No one has anything to do but render devotional service to the Supreme Lord, Śrī Krsna. Therefore any activity other than transcendental loving service to the Lord is more or less a rebellious action against the supreme will. All fruitive activity, empirical philosophy and mysticism are more or less against the sense of subordination to the Lord, and any living entity engaged in such rebellious activity is more or less condemned by the laws of material nature, which work under the subordination of the Lord. Great unalloyed devotees of the Lord are compassionate towards the fallen, and therefore they travel all over the world with the mission of bringing souls back to Godhead, back to home. Such pure devotees of the Lord carry the message of Godhead in order to deliver the fallen souls, and therefore the common man who is bewildered by the influence of the external energy of the Lord should avail himself of their association.
Note-Today was my birthday and these great souls Navadvipa das, his wife Brajabhumi dasi, and their three children-Ram das, Laksman das and Radharani devi dasi, all came for a short visit to our Ashram and we all did kirtan together after feeding the cows across the road.They brought some very sumptuous Krsna prasadam, left me some in a b-day gift bag, and I haven’t checked it yet, but I think they also left a donation in the temple room box. This is a family of devotees, wonderful devotees, who have understood the Vaisnava Philosophy and practice it daily.
And they are doing what the SB verse states—O my lord, great philanthropic souls travel on the earth on behalf of the Supreme Personality of Godhead to show compassion to the fallen souls who are averse to the sense of subordination to the Lord.
Hare Krsna
All glories to Srila Prabhupada and all the wonderful Vaisnava devotees !!!
