When a pure devotee chants everyone becomes initiated

Hare Krsna to all

Pranams

All glories to Srila Prabhupada

 

Below we have 4 cut and paste quotes- the first two explain how the

Vishnu Dutas, servants of Lord Vishnu are everywhere, all over, in each

universe, waiting to serve the devotees of the Lord.

The last two explain the nature of chanting Hare Krsna maha mantra.

Srila Prabhupada kindly explains how this chanting puts us directly

in touch with the Lord and we will see Him by this chanting.

But this realization requires "advanced knowledge", and when one

actually has this "advanced knowledge" he is qualified to become

guru---and who has this, "advanced knowledge", at present??

Well, we know one person , for sure.......

So he was calling his son, Narayana. So the parsadah,
visnu-parsadah--parsadah means associates [Vishnu dutas] or attendants--they
immediately came. Just like in your city, the police is wandering in
the car, and if somebody calls for police, immediately he is present,
similarly, the attendants of Lord Visnu,[Vishnu dutas] they are also wandering
throughout the universe and searching out somebody who is engaged in
chanting the holy name of the Lord. So if you chant holy name of the
Lord, they are very much pleased and they immediately come. That
happened to Ajamila.

So this is the benefit of chanting Hare Krsna maha-mantra. Both the
order carriers of Yamaraja and order carriers of Lord Visnu, they're
everywhere, just like the police is everywhere. But as soon as you
call them, from the police's station they immediately inform the
patrol police on the car, immediately he comes. If there is such
material arrangement within the government, how much nice arrangement
is there in the supreme government?

   So we have to practice this, that Hare Krsna maha-mantra. If we
practice, there is chance at the time of death repeating the same
thing, Hare Krsna maha-mantra. So immediately you are saved, not to go
to the yama-mandira. The powerful name, holy name is as good as the
Supreme Personality of Godhead. There is no difference--absolute.
Absolute means... Just like here if I simply chant "mango, mango,
mango," there is no mango. Mango is different from the name mango. If
I want to eat mango, the substance mango I must have. So there is
difference between the name and its substance. That is
material--duality. But in the absolute world there is..., means
there's no duality. The name mango and mango: the same. This requires
advanced knowledge. So there is no difference between Krsna the name
and Krsna the person. There is no difference. 

 

TLC 18            The Conversations with Prakasananda   
When the transcendental name is worshiped by the devotee, the name
Himself spreads His glories within the heart of a devotee. When a
devotee is perfectly qualified in chanting the transcendental
vibration of the holy name, he is quite fit to become a spiritual
master and to deliver all the people of the world. The chanting of the
holy name is so powerful that it gradually establishes its supremacy
above everything in the world. The devotee who chants it becomes
transcendentally situated in ecstasy and sometimes laughs, cries and
dances in his ecstasy. .. As a result, everyone becomes initiated in the chanting of
the holy names--Hare Krsna, Hare Krsna, Krsna Krsna, Hare Hare. Hare
Rama, Hare Rama, Rama Rama, Hare Hare.

Below we have two altar "vases"-one is labeled 'trouble maker', the other is 'innocent bystander'

Which do you think applies to Lord Nityananda ?? If you dont know why, then it is

suggested you read Caitanya Bhagavat , Caitanya Caritamrta, Caitanya mangala, etc....

"All of you , you become guru"-SP

Hare Krsna

Pranams

All glories to Srila Prabhupada

 

Last night before falling asleep I read this below in the conversation books.

It is very instructive for devotees wishing for the blessings of God and Guru.

 

Hare Krsna is not a sit down do nothing spiritual movement. It is meant

first of all for ourselves,individually, and then we give what we have  learned

and assimilated to others.It comes in, and then goes out, but we feel invigorated by passing on this

transcendental knowledge to all whom we meet.

 

If one reads with an impartial mind all of Srila Prabhupadas books, one will

find him stating this axiomatic truth countless times-everybody you meet,

tell him about Krsna, and in this way, you become a guru. And in all these instances

including this one below, he NEVER says one should initiate those persons to whom

we give this knowledge to. Some devotees seem to think that "guru" means only the

one who takes one's karma, gives a spiritual name and tosses the grains into

the sacrificial fire. That is ONE kind of guru-that kind is Srila Prabhupada, not us.

We have seen what happens when devotees try to imitate the power and purity of a Maha Bhagavat

by imitating his behavior in the manner of taking on disciples.They fall down and cause

all kinds of nasty problems to themselves and others.

 

So best solution is to do exactly what he tells us to do. Tell others about Krsna, starting with

our family members and friends, and in THIS way, simply by telling them about Krsna, one becomes

guru- a siksa guru, not an initiating guru. There is a huge difference between the two.

Therefore we don't say, "in my opinion," "our opinion." We say "Krsna
says this," that's all. Caitanya Mahaprabhu's mission is... He says,

 

                 amara ajnaya guru hana tara ei desa
                yare dekha, tare kaha 'krsna'-upadesa

 

   He says that "All of you, you become guru." Just like I am
requesting all Indians outside that I am alone trying to spread this
Indian culture, why not you also join? You also become guru. So how to
become guru? Not that simply by advertising that one has become guru
all of a sudden, no. Guru means, as Caitanya Mahaprabhu says, yare
dekha, tare kaha 'krsna'-upadesa. Whomever you meet, you just instruct
him in what Krsna says, that's all. You become guru. It is not very
difficult to become guru, provided we simply preach the instruction of
Krsna. That we are doing. We do not say that we are perfect, we have
become God, or we have so many, so many magic jugglery. No, we have
nothing to do, that. No magic, no jugglery, no God. Simply to become
servant of God, and whomever we meet, we speak the words of God,
that's all. Then you become guru. This is our mission. That we may be
imperfect, that doesn't matter. We are imperfect. Just like this

child, he is imperfect. Everyone knows. But if he says, "My father has
informed me that this is microphone," so this knowledge of "is
microphone" is perfect because he has received from the father,
experienced father. And before hearing from the father, he may not
know that this is microphone, but since he has heard from the father
that this is microphone, and if he says to others that "My father has
said, 'This is microphone,' " then people will accept this is perfect
knowledge. So we should follow this instruction of Caitanya
Mahaprabhu, yare dekha, tare kaha 'krsna'-upadesa. So you, every one
of you, can become guru. You may say that "I am not interested to
become a guru," but Caitanya Mahaprabhu says that if you are not
interested, that is not very good. You should be interested. You must
be guru. That is success of your life. You can speak the instruction
of Krsna, even to your family. That also guru. You are actually guru.
The father or the head of the family is guru to the children, to the
wife. In India still, the wife addresses the husband as pati-guru. And
father is guru. That is natural. So why don't you become real guru to
your wife, to your children, and instruct Bhagavad-gita as it is? This
is our mission. You sit down in the evening, chant Hare Krsna mantra,
and teach little instruction from the Bhagavad-gita. See how the life

changes. Is that very difficult task? Boliye.Indian man (2): No, no.
Prabhupada: So do that. Don't approach the cheater guru, bluffer guru,
and be cheated. Stop this business. This has spoiled the whole
spiritual atmosphere of the world. Take guru, the supreme guru, Krsna.
Krsna, when in Mahabharata when Maharaja Yudhisthira performed
rajasuya yajna, in the rajasuya yajna one person is elected the chief
guest. So in that yajna many big, big demigods were present, and
Bhismadeva was present, Vyasadeva was present, and many, many other
saintly person, brahmana, from the whole universe were present. And
Krsna was decided to be accepted as the... Everyone agreed to accept
Him as the chief guest. And the Sisupala, he protested. Then everyone
was angry to kill him. So Krsna is accepted the guru by everyone. By
our acaryas, recent acaryas, Ramanujacarya, Madhvacarya... I am not
speaking of the loafer class, but those who are recognized acaryas,
Sankaracarya... They accepted Krsna as the supreme guru. Caitanya
Mahaprabhu. So accept Krsna as the supreme guru and follow His
instruction and try to convince others. "Others" means even your
family members. That is success of life. Samsiddhih hari-tosanam. Why
should you lead your life blindly? This human life is meant for

enlightenment, supreme enlightenment, and this is supreme
enlightenment, to understand the teachings of Bhagavad-gita and preach
it as far as you can. If not, you can preach amongst your family
members. This is perfection of life. What is that verse? Ya imam
paramam guhyam mad-bhaktesv abhidhasyati. That is the desire of Krsna.

 

                        ya idam paramam guhyam
                      mad-bhaktesu abhidhasyati
                       bhaktim mayi param krtva
                       mam evaisyaty asamsayah
