Guest guest Posted April 15, 2005 Report Share Posted April 15, 2005 CONDITIONED SOUL HRIDAYANANDAS CORRUPT TRANSLATION: Note: Hridayananda’s CRICITICISM AGAINST THE FOLLOWING DEVOTEES: ON PAGE 148 CANTO 11 CHP 2 TXT 45 HE GOES ON TO WRITE : " IF ONLY THOSE WHO CONSTANTLY SEE THE FORM OF KRSNA ARE TO BE CONSIDERED UTTAMA-ADHIKARIS,THEN NARADA, VYASA AND SUKADEVA CANNOT BE CONSIDERED TOPMOST DEVOTEES, SINCE THEY DO NOT ALWAYS SEE THE LORD EVERYWHERE" SB 1.18.16 P Maharaja Pariksit Cursed by a Brahmana Boy Maharaja Pariksit was such a maha-bhagavata devotee because he was initiated by a MAHA-BHAGAVATA DEVOTEE, SUKADEVA GOSVAMI. 740527SB.ROM Lectures So Sukadeva Gosvami learned from his father, VYASADEVA, MAHA-BHAGAVATA, and he realized it, svanubhavam. SB 4.31.8 P Narada Instructs the Pracetas In this verse bhagavan naradah indicates that NARADA IS ALWAYS ABSORBED IN THOUGHTS OF THE SUPREME PERSONALITY OF GODHEAD. SB 1.6.33 Conversation Between Narada and Vyasadeva The Supreme Lord Sri Krsna, whose glories and activities are pleasing to hear, AT ONCE APPEARS ON THE SEAT OF MY HEART, AS IF CALLED FOR, AS SOON AS I BEGIN TO CHANT HIS HOLY ACTIVITIES. SB 1.6.33 P Conversation Between Narada and Vyasadeva The Absolute Personality of Godhead is not different from His transcendental name, form, pastimes and the sound vibrations thereof. As soon as a pure devotee engages himself in the pure devotional service of hearing, chanting and remembering the name, fame and activities of the Lord, at once He becomes visible to the transcendental eyes of the pure devotee by reflecting Himself on the mirror of the heart by spiritual television. Therefore a pure devotee who is related with the Lord in loving transcendental service can experience the presence of the Lord at every moment. It is a natural psychology in every individual case that a person likes to hear and enjoy his personal glories enumerated by others. That is a natural instinct, and the Lord, being also an individual personality like others, is not an exception to this psychology because psychological characteristics visible in the individual souls are but reflections of the same psychology in the Absolute Lord. The only difference is that the Lord is the greatest personality of all and absolute in all His affairs. If, therefore, the Lord is attracted by the pure devotee's chanting of His glories, there is nothing astonishing. Since He is absolute, He can appear Himself in the picture of His glorification, the two things being identical. Srila Narada chants the glorification of the Lord not for his personal benefit but because the glorifications are identical with the Lord. Narada Muni penetrates into the presence of the Lord by the transcendental chanting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
