you people are trying hard to keep yourself away from it. isn't it hard. have any of you attained 100% success rate? do let me know if you have. and then we'll quote scriptures and talk about their essence.

Hare Krishna

 

All glories to sri guru and gauranga

 

All glories to srila prabhupada

 

According to prabhupad and also according to sastras

 

who is vaishnava?

 

We have to follow our previous acharyas and Chaitanya Mahaprabhu. what they say regardingly.

 

Pandita sama darshina

 

here who is pandita? pandita doesnot only mean that learned scholar but he who is a vaishnava.who is vaishnava? He who is always in the smarana(remembrance) of the Lord Hari and chanting the Hare Krishna maha mantra and teaching the mantra to others and having an attitude to save others also from this material exsistance without any deviation.

 

According to the verse "pandita sama darshina"

 

A pandita will see all the forms of bodies as the same and treats equally thinking that they are also souls who are part and parcel of Lord Krishna.

 

Srila Prabhupad didnt differntiate anybody. This is very important ! please try to follow Principles of Srila prabhupad and distribute the holy name of the Lord Krishna for everybody.This is the Goal of Hare Krishna Movement of Srila Prabhupad's Movement.and one more thing is that we are not even qualified to chant the holy name but by the causeless mercy of Sri Krishna Chaitanya Mahaprabhu and Our Achrayas like Srila Prabhupad and his gurus we are able to know what's what. isnt it?

so dont try to comment on somebody that means you by the comment which you are making you are starting to fall down because vaishnavas cannot be judged and we cannot understand them in what mood they said that.

 

If you are following the principles of Srila Prabhupad and if you are satisfying Srila Prabhupad then you will be able to chant hte holy name of the Lord Krishna.

 

"Trinad api sunicena

taror api sahisnuna

amanina manadhena

kirtanya sada hari"

 

One should chant the holy name of the Lord in a humble state of mind, thinking oneself lower than the straw in the street; one should be more tolerant than a tree, devoid of all sense of false prestige, and should be ready to offer all respect to others. In such a state of mind one can chant the holy name of the Lord constantly.

 

you should consider yourself nothing and you should serve the vaishnavas for their satisfication.then by the mercy of the vaishnavas you will be given Bhakti and you will awarded the holy name to chant always.

 

Hare Krishna

i believe that a vaishnava is not a person who keeps chanting lord's name and keeps remembering him all the time. for me, a true vaishnava is a person who sees the lord in everything he sees, does, thinks, feels, smells, tastes, hears. he is so engrossed in what he is doing that nothing bothers him. and at that state of engrossedness he finds nirvana, samadhi, or what ever you call it and the taste of it is so good that he keeps going back to it unknowingly.
