</td> <td> </td> <td>"A pure devotee of the Lord does not live on any planet of the material sky, nor does he feel any contact with material elements. His so-called material body does not exist, being surcharged with the spiritual current of the Lord's identical interest, and thus he is permanently freed from all contaminations of the sum total of the mahat-tattva. He is always in the spiritual sky, which he attains by being transcendental to the sevenfold material covering by the effect of his devotional service."

many many pics of samadhi ceremony at www vina . cc

BTW folks, it is bad taste to even think about a successor at a time like this.

Let those who served and loved Srila Puri Maharaja feel the separation, they must feel. For others be in the moment and just appreciate Srila Maharaja's memory. I was very fortunate enough to personally meet him, several years ago, and I must thank my lucky stars.

absolutly!

Jay Srila BV Puri Goswami Mj!

nitya lila pravista om visnupad paramahmasa asttotara satta Sri Srima Bhakti Vaibhav Puri Goswami Maharaja ki jay!!!!!!!

I´m so sad:(

no, i was talking about a car accident and loose of finger! but i don´t know details

Hare Krsna!

what happened with Hridayananda Swami???

Take initiation of Sat Guru is the most important limb of bhakti, that is why Srila Rupa Goswami reffers to it in Bhaktirasamrita Sindhu as the 1st, 2,nd and 3rth things to do on the beginning... 1. find Sri Guru, 2. take initiation 3. serve him and take instructions...

without Sat Guru, no possible to go on on the rest of the limbs of bhakti, what to talk about Krsna Consciusnes or Prema... that is not possible...

About to be 1-1 with Him, ... Sat Guru is more intimate than soul... He lives with us forever , he has many forms: 1-Bhagavan, 2-caityaguru- 3-His own Body- 4-his intructions, 5- His bonafide disciples... then you can be 1-1 with him whenever and ever.

Abour rounds, is not about 1, 4 or 16, is about, chanting pure nama constantly forever... Srila Prabhupad Bhaktisidhanta said in his upadesavali that one who chatn less than 64 rounds is consdered to be fallen. then, our aim in rouds is... all the time forever, but we must start with something. 1, 4. 8, that only Sat Guru will tell you what is ok, and good for you. but aim, is always forever chant sudhanama.

Sadhu sanga is possible on the heart, not on body to body, so don´t mind if you will c Sat Guru once a year, or once or twice in life (like Srila Prabhpuada with Srila Prabhupada Sarasvati Thakur)

Srila Gour Govinda Swami said a beutiful thk for me: " only if you cry you will have Sat Guru"

Jay Srila Gurudeva

Enjoy your initiation, your sadhu sanga and vyaspuja festival there with my Yugacarya patitapavan Srila Bhaktivedanta Narayana Goswami Mj!

Senior sannyasis are the sannyasis who directly took sannyas from Srila Prabhupada.

Indradyuma is a junior sannyasa.

 

Senior sannyasis are like Tripurari Maharaja who directly got sannyasa from Srila Prabhupada.

Interesting... do U have the list of the senior sannyasis that rest even if they are not in Iskcon now, like Tripurari Maharaja for example??

Many gurus in may levels... you should know gurutattva first, also inquire from puredevotee. Srila Bhaktisiddhanta said in upadesavali, Krsna just take offer from some one who chants one lakh harinam... so... first find who does that... if you want any conection with Krsna...then that devotee must be recogniced by other pure devotes as one of them... and also MUST HAVE the aprovation from his own Guru to accept disciples. If don´t any mantra in any ear, in group or one by one will don´t be suddhanam, nami will not manifest at all. Only one who has Krsna can give Krsna, Only pure devotee has Krsna. Krsna is summited to his pure devotee.

Please read The heart of Krsna, Hear of Vaisnava from HDG SBP Puri Mj

Guru makes Krsna Appear in your Heart, Whorship of Sri Guru and The proces of inquiri from HDG Srila Gour Govinda Swami

those books made me sooooooooooo good when i was in same situation of you prabhu...

But most important is to cry... SGGS said Only if you Cry you will have real Guru!

Take the best medicine from best doctor, no any medicin frome any one... carisma, fame, beuty, must be rejected... Pure devotee is described in those books i just mentioned... just desire crying the best medicine and Krsna will appear as Sri Guru.

news section has lots of pictures and articles from Uncle puru

I first came in contact with devotees, in this life, in l969 and was fortunate to take harinama and second initiation directly from His Dvine Grace Srila Prabhupada at the ISKCON temple,formerly located at 439 Henry St Brooklyn, New York.

I served in ISKCON full time until the 340 West 55th St. building was sold in l981. I pursed several jobs as a taxi driver and driving instructor for some 15 years as circumstances forced us to seek a seperate living quarter outside the temple. I am in the grihasta ashram and have three lovely daughters, Janaki (17), Sudamani (14) and Mallika (7). My wife of 23 years, Jambavati devi dasi is known to many devotees as "Sita" in the ISKCON version of the Ramayana, which was filmed on location at the New Vrndavan Community. I am the siksa disciple of His Divine Grace Srila B.V. Narayan Maharaj. I was blessed to have His divine associaton on the Vraja Mandala Parikrama, this year,l998, and also the association of his wonderful disciples at their temples in Birmingham, and Bristol, UK. I left ISKCON in April of l998 due tophilosophical differences with its GBC and other god brothers over 1)guru tattva, 2)jiva tattva and 3)vaisnava aparadha. I founded the Bhaktivedanta Memorial in l977. The exhibit still is in tact in the Brooklyn ISKCON temple, but was turned over to a disciple of one of my god brothers, as I found it impossible to continue my service there. I still maintain the document archives and safe guard much of His Divine Grace's personal paraphernalia placed in my hands by the will of Providence

My dear Uncle Puru,

You are my real uncle, in so many ways you are also my vartnapradaksak guru, i found your BVML in a time when i was absolutly confussed, i found nectar. I never met you personaly, but your emails to me made me feel so close to you, and so close to SP, to my beloved SG and Vaisnavas.

You accepted my hi5 friends request like 3 days ago, and I was reading spetially this week many of your recent posts... as always finding nectar, several "no ponint of dicussion" posts from SP... your wonderfull pics with BB.Tirtha Mj, my beloved SG and you always happy there... always next to vaisnavas, always preaching the mission of Mahaprabhu.

Your knowledg and realization of SP legacy and sastra is espectacular, I can c u in my mind working so hard making those copy-pastes from sastras, posts, letters, articles to give us fresh shower, to make us remember the main point of sudhabhakti, friendly behavior, respect betwen all vaisnavas and deep attach to sastra-guru-sadhu

What a example Uncle Puru!!!!!!!!!!

I feel you came to this world to help suffering jivas like me...

Defenitly you are Mahaprabhu´s man

Sriman Uncle Puru Ki Jay!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

BVML ki Jay!!!!!!!!!!!

Jay SRi SRi Guru Gouranga Vinod Bihari kijay!

Goura bhakta vrinda ki jay!!!!!!

My dear friends, sons and daughters.

My heartly blessings are for you. All glories to Sri Sri Guru and

Gauranga, all glories to Sri Sri Radha Vinode Bihariji.

Today I received the sad news about the departure of my dear most bosom

friend, Sriman Puru prabhu. I am praying to Sri Sri Gaura Nityananda

Prabhu and Sri Sri Radha and Krsna that They will bestow Their causeless

mercy upon Sriman Puru prabhu and grace him with high class of

association by which he will perfect his sadhana and bhajan and attain

pure Vraja bhakti.

I remember how he was in India for last 6 months, in Sri Vraja Mandal

parikram and in Sri Gaura Mandal parikram. He visited many Holy places

during this period and certainly gathered many deep spiritual

impressions. I remember how he has served his Gurumaharaja _ Srila

Bhaktivedanta Swami Maharaja - and also how he has assisted myself in

spreading the glories of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu's mission.

All glories to Sriman Puru prabhu.

Your ever well-wisher,

Swami B.V. Narayan
