THE BONAFIDE SPIRITUAL MASTER
The Bonafide Spiritual Master
The Bonafide Spiritual Master
is the perfect person Krishna does sends
to facilitate our desire
to go back to Him again.
By Krishna's Supreme mercy
we can not be bereaved
if we fully want to surrender to Him
He sends us all we need.
A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada
is the perfect answer to a sincere soul's desire,
the Movement he created to save the degraded
has in it all the blessings we require.
His Divine Grace declared Krishna is for everyone
and Krishna Consciousness is possible in a moment;
impossible is a word in a fool's dictionary,
in fact, by his own life he has shown it.
Who would have believed a tiny old man
could have spread Krishna's Name to every nation?
How can we explain the miracles in our lives?
It was only Prabhupada's faith and dedication.
Prabhupada's full faith in Krishna's Names,
that He could do anything at all,
was what carried him to us so lost and vain
and attracted us to him to heed his call.
Jesus is our Guru Prabhupada said,
and Jesus said that faith can lift a mountain,
and Lord Krishna said it's our doubts that are demons,
and by our doubting all our miseries will be mounting.
So he made this society to nurture our faith,
and he said that this society is him,
and he said there is no advancement we can make
by leaving his ISKCON, his ship above all sin.
So it's humility that will keep us in his ISKCON,
and it's pride alone that will make us leave,
the unwillingness to be the servant of his servant,
which Lord Chaitanya said is what we must be.
To hear Krishna's Names with his disciples,
Prabhupada said was the best medicine he could find,
so let us spread Prabhupada's teachings all together,
and upon us Prabhupada will be kind.
Nothing can act, nothing can move without Krishna's desire,
this is Krishna Consciousness, Prabhupada said,
and one who accepts all that happens as directly Krishna's mercy
can alone surrender to Him and go back home to Godhead.
So with all the humility I have at my command,
I pray to be the servant of your servant,
please birth after birth just let me know my worth,
just a tiny little particle of your mercy.
important comment
What has been passing as Prabhupada's iskcon since Prabhupada's passing from our material vision in 1977 is not the iskcon Prabhupada desired,because he was murdered by some of his power hungry so called disciples,who unsurped his mission,by lying and saying Prabhupada asked them to be Gurus in his place,so since that day,against Prabhupada's wishes,his books have been changed,and unqualified persons to be Guru's,who maintain most sinful actions in their personal lives,are mis-leading thousands as to what a real Guru is.A real Spiritual Master is sinless and pure,and sets a perfect example,for all human kind,how to go back home,back to Godhead.These pretenders also preach,we need a Guru that is physically present for us,which Shrila Prabhupada never preached,Prabhupada preached we still could return to God,by obeying Lord Jesus Christ,who Prabhupada personally loved as much as Krishna,and he also said,just like Jesus Christ,I am eternally present,through my instructions and one who follows them is my disciple and can return to Krishna,in this very life time.And there is also much evidence through Prabhupada's words before he left this world,that none of his disciples were qualified to be initiating spiritual masters,who may take disciples unto themselves,although he requested us to become qualified by fully following his instructions.Prabhupada most clearly expressed he wanted ritvic priest,to initiate disciples,to be turned over to him as his disciples as he had already done,when he was ill,after his depature.Pure Paramahamsa,Devotees like Shrila Prabhupada,have always been most rare in this world,as the Supreme Lord Krishna expresses Himself in His most celebrated Bhagavad-gita,'AFTER MANY, MANY BIRTHS AND DEATHS,WHEN ONE UNDERSTANDS ME,TO BE THE CAUSE OF ALL CAUSES AND ALL THAT IS,SURRENDERS UNTO ME.SUCH A GREAT SOUL IS VERY RARE...but currently they are a dime a dozen,is the idea,you will get,from,present day,iskcon,as they keep popping up and falling down into illusion,,as real Gurus never do..and I am risking my very life revealing this truth,because already some of my god brothers have been murdered for speaking it,under the orders of some of these so called Gurus,but at any rate,it has always been most risky business,trying to preach,pure love of God,in this material world as Jesus Christ most vividly illustrated,and my own most beloved Spiritual Master Shrila Prabhupada,Prabhupada's Spiritual's Master Bhaktisidhanta Saraswati and His Father Bhaktivinoda Thakura,who was also one of the pure Acharyas in our Brahma Sampradaya,and all should hear about the boy,Prahlada,pure servant of Lord Narashimadeva,whose father Hiranyakashipu,was so such a powerful demom,he took control,of the three planetary systems,and yet he was afraid of his little son Pralahd.The universe's presiding deities and citizens shivered at the movement of the eye brow of Hiranyakashipu and yet this demon, endeavored,with all the means at his disposal to kill Prahlad,and yet he could not...All these pure devotees of Krishna performed super human activities and were threatened,beyond belief,because they we're so influential and powerful,and their glorious biographies can be read on line,but ever since these sinful rascals,took over iskcon,we have seen schools with the children being molested,and murders of innocent devotees,and horrendous threats to all those wishing,to remove Prabhupada's institution from these pretender's influence,while most of Prabhupada's disciples remain aloof from that place,in sad situations,because they really required the society's shelter,the wonderful way Prabhupada had set it up,for their spiritual progress,which needs so much good spiritual association,for spiritual stregnth.So sincere Prabhupada disciples want nothing to do with the poor reflection of Prabhupada's iskcon,that remains....but will not endure,because so many persons like me,are preaching the truth,and virtue always conquers over evil in the end,Lord Krishna and His Servants,loudly proclaim .....all glories to Shrila Prabhupada!!!!!!Hare Krishna!!!! 01/31/04
