Visvambhar - Adharam Madhuram - 08.30.21 Janmastami @NRR

Srila Prabhupada would quotes, dina-hina jata chilo, hari-name uddharilo, tara sakshi jagai madhai that even the most hardened cruel demons like Jagahay and Madhai can be transformed by the power of God's names. Nityananda prabhu, he saw that potential in their hearts and they became saints. In the same way Srila Prabhupada when he traveled around the world 12 times, he saw that potential in everyone's hearts and so many people became transformed. And in the same way through our sadhana, our spiritual practice and through our prayer and practice, we should cultivate seeing that potential in everyone and in each other. I am so grateful to my Guru Maharaj Srila Prabhupada for inspiring such a wonderful family as all of you and we should never forget this ‘that we are a family. We should each and every one of us take serious responsibility to speak and behave properly, in such a way that it will inspire true devotion and true happiness in each other and it will create a happier, more united family.’

Serving Means to Create Happy & United Family

All the trials and challenges that we may be enduring today and all that we will inevitably endure in the future are being addressed in the Bhagavad-Gita. Krishna begins by explaining the nature of the true self, the jiva. ‘na hanyate hanyamane sarire, na jayate mriyate va kadacin’ that the eternal soul is never born and never dies, it is not subjected to the forces of nature or time. But the forces of nature and time are so powerful, this maya which is based on the interaction of the three modes of nature with time and the karma, the various actions that are accelerated by that combination, it's very difficult, it's very impossible to overcome. To control the mind, to control the senses, to overcome fear, lust, envy, anger, greed, illusion, these forces from all around us and within us are very difficult to overcome. This is very much the essence of the Gita. Krishna explains how material nature works, he explains how we become bound up by Karma, how we're always being consumed at every moment we're being destroyed by time, but we can easily overcome it if we simply do one thing, take shelter of him. That is this essence of the Gita to take shelter of the lord.
