DON’T SERVE MAYA!

Parama Karuna used to chant everyday with us from Nagpur, now he is in China for business tour and is chanting from there. Like that devotees are taking advantage of the japa conference. Even when they are traveling they get association during chanting and a little bit of my association and also hundreds of you chanting with us. I am in Noida.

Today we have special VVIP visitors visiting Noida. We have Nityanand Padukas here. So we welcome Nityanand Padukas. We have HG. Jananivas Prabhu here today. It’s a very big day today for ISKCON Noida. They have arranged a fundraising program for TOVP in the auditorium this evening. Guess who else is coming! We have a very special guest this evening as well, Ambarish Prabhuji ( Alfred Ford) will be attending . Today HG. Jananivas Prabhu will be our guest speaker for morning japa talk. ISKCON Noida devotees are around me. We have a fundraising program for Prabhupada’s TOVP project. We are very thankful to Jananivas Prabhuji for bringing Padukas – Lord Nityananda’s footprints over here. We are very, very grateful. He never leaves Mayapur. You must be knowing his glories and his steady service. Steady like a rock and with great determination he has stuck to Mayapur, to the Lotus Feet of Radha-Madhava, Pancatattva and Lord Narasimha. He has been doing service year after year almost for fifty years now.

Nityananda Prabhu’s Padukas are on the altar and I was offering aarti to Radha-Govind. But the special attraction was Nityananda Prabhu’s Padukas. I was eagerly awaiting Their arrival. I had been thinking about the Lotus Feet of Nityananda Prabhu for several days. As they were on the altar and as I was offering aarti to them, I heard a voice from within. I could say it was very clear & loud. The voice was WHY? WHY? WHY? And then the following thoughts were “ Why should you serve Maya? Tell me. Any good reason? Any body in the world could convince me or you, why you should remember or serve maya- Why? Why? Why? So I thought that was Lord Nityananda speaking. He is the original guru. He was questioning me why should you sleep during chanting. You are serving maya that way right? So that was the blessings of Lord Nityananda, the revelations of Lord Nityananda.

So today I would request HG.Jananivas Prabhuji to speak. We had been around four hundred devotees chanting on this conference and listening. We would like to hear how you had been maintaining steady devotional service, steadily staying on in Mayapur. steadily serving their Lordships and steadily also chanting. You are also known for your dance. You have been doing this year after year. So what is the secret? You kindly share that with us , with chanters from around 20 countries.

HG. JANANIVAS PRABHUJI

Thank you for inviting me to Noida and in this program. Lord Nityananda’s shoes are here for everyone to take shelter of. Maharaja said why should we remain steady with Maya? We had been steady with Maya for billions and billions of births. By Prabhupada’s grace we have been able to see through the grand hoax of Maya. Trying to enjoy this material world which is like an ocean full of Sharks & alligators and Timingila fish. It will swallow our Bhakti. So take shelter of lotus Feet of Radha-Govindji. Attraction for Maya is very strong. But not stronger than the Holy name.

Why I am remaining steady? Actually I am physically and even with mind not steady, but somehow or the other by the process of vaidhi sadhana bhakti we can externally engage our senses in the service. It purifies. I like the holy name and Krishna consciousness and specially the philosophy because we know we are going back to Godhead. We know who Krsna is in the wonderful land of Vrindavan. There is one purport in Gita. – one should become captivated by hearing the descriptions of Krsna , his dhama and his activities. I thought it was such a wonderful thing. We will explain this attraction. Nothing else would really make sense. Here is Krsna, The Supreme personality of Godhead. Here is his dhama. Here is his abode. Here is Govardhan. Here is Jamuna. All these are wonderful things we have been searching for and Prabhupada gave us that in reality, so l am very thankful. Just hold on to his lotus feet and we can go back to Godhead. We can maintain in this material world and I have don’t have any attraction, but somehow or other I can maintain. Someone made a comment let me become steady then I will chant the holy name

HARE KRISHNA HARE KRISHNA
