Gurumaharaj Paramadvaiti Sunday Chat 2010-10-17 "Chant the holy name with passion!"
Updated automatically every 5 minutes

My dear devotees who are attending from the entire world,

From my heart I want to inspire all of you to become leaders. All of you who want to know about

the soul's absolute goodness. Only when our soul is awakened to its peaceful and spiritual

state can we understand and help others. For that we need to chant the holy name of Krishna

with passion. Not only chant it, but chant it with passion!

We have a lot of spiritual music and songs and I'm going to tell you something that most

devotees don't know. Each one of those songs is like a temple. A resonant temple of

conscious enlightenment where the soul can dance. Of course, always ending with the main

mantras. These songs that communicate either deep or introductory messages provide great hope

in this present world. Because there are less readers and less souls eager to go deeply into

philosophy. Philosophy is being violated by enticing material invasion, perverted by movies,

reading material and above all the image saturation. There are so many images that reading is

very tough. As one does not want to be an ignorant, one says: "I'm going to read this or that

later". That's what's happening with intellectuality currently. The whole study is done "some

day" and then people postpone it. I also do it. I have at least a 400 book library of books

that I want to read. Speed-reading is possible, but not very satisfying. Poetry cannot be read

like this.

People look at the world based on what they need at the moment, then they have no time to study

the greeks, such as Pythagoras. You know, in Pythagoras school, only vegetarian students were

admitted. And they also had to be celibate. This was the saba griga school. But Aristotle, he

was different. He was not so strict, but populistic. He wanted quantity rather than quality.

He didn't care about vegetarianism or celibacy. He said that we have to abide by the mystical,

take advantage of mysticism for the mundane. With Aristotle ended the idealism. And that is

what St. Augustine embraced. He wanted mysticism in the first place, but all for the money,

results, advancement. And he was heavy. He said that women have no soul. How he could said that

is amazing. Perhaps it was pure conventionalism. Because if women did not have a soul, they did

not have a say either.

Women are worshipped in the vedic tradition. And those matters about women rights in materialism

are minimizing women. Women have no rights, woman is worshipped. Aristotle was responsible for

perverting this world. And the Church after embracing this, moved away from the original Greek

mysticism. This was when the colonialization started, industrial revolution, slave trade. All

this mentality thanks to St. Thomas. He gave the philosophical specification for all that

fairytale. In the colonial times, many natives objected and some were intimidated, obviously

there was fight. The spaniards asked the Pope in Rome what to do. And the Pope said: "They are

animals, they have no soul, so don't get upset about them." And after hearing this, the

spaniards organized the desert campaigns, killing between Buenos Aires and Mendoza.

In this way we can see that materialism has taken over the whole world. That's the story about

how the western world was degraded. When Europeans became so brutish as today. It's an insult,

of course, to say that to a European. But this was how things were. They did very cruel things

against the American and African natives. The bigger took advantage of the smaller. The law of

the jungle. The idea is that I always hit you first to threaten you. There are many ways of

striking people: some are physical and the other psychological. Europeans had their own Guru,

their Sukracharya, Machiavelli, who said about conquering: "Try to seduce the enemy with few

words. If this does not work, try to bribe him." And this is what all multinationals do

nowadays, bribing politicians everywhere. Then Machiavelli says: "If bribe is not enough, then

use the weapon of creating discord on the enemy's side of the battlefield: create dissension

among your enemy." As the saying goes: Troubled waters, fishermen gain. And Machiavelli

continues: "If this does not work, then comes force. No more argument, philosophy or diplomacy."

And this is how the US Army comes and start to kill whoever they want. And they authorize other

countries to do this. Then they say:  "What about human rights?" This is a Kali Yuga

contradiction. They think and act like that. They intimidate, shouting: "If you don't obey what

me I'm gonna punish you!". This happens not only in Somalia, but also here next to us, in this

same house. God save me from this.

And the psychological intimidation. Some people use this even among devotees. "You will not

have Gurudevas grace if you don't do as I say." As if the person was an agent of divine supply.

This is about creating fear in others to lose privileges. Therefore I say: Nobody in my mission

have private rooms. Not even me. Therefore the Eco Truly Park's "Truly Maestro" is called like

that because it's a multi-function room. If you want a private room, then work outside and rent

it. But do not use the temple's rooms for this. It sounds a little bit heavy but I know why I

tell you this. Because inside private rooms, people create their bunker. They intimidate others

and then, from a private room, comes a private army. As in Colombia, there are so many private

armies. Many of them have private airports. Because people think: "If I have weapons, I can buy

more weapons". Therefore they procure their hired killers or gangsters. The Americans say:

"wealth warriors". Because they kill for money. The Israeli secret force are known as the most

deceitful martyr experts of the planet. And in guerilla warfare they research on how to put

bombs, how to catch telephone lines, they develop gunfire skills, not even missing from one

kilometer distance. That is the result of materialistic frustration. All that thanks to

Aristotle. All that sophistication and materialistic systematization, causing one to almost

lose hope. But Srila Prabhupada came and gave us the name of Krishna so we don't lose any hope.

Srila Prabhupada gave us the beautiful task of preaching and saving all these people that

behave as savages. Srila Prabhupada said: do not point a finger to them and neither be a

gossiper. Let's see if George Bush repents and chants the Lord Nrishimha mantra begging for

protection. Because now noone but Nrsimhadeva can save them from devastation in eternity.

It's a symbol. There are many George Bushes on the planet, that have the same mentality, they

just didn't have the same power. This is why the vaishnava devotee is gonna save as many people

as he can. Why? Because we are all the same. Same as they. I don't want to talk about my

childhood, because it was very dark. I have nothing glorious to say about my childhood. I was

not born in a vegetarian family and the materialistic conmsciousness was implanted early on.

Ironically my little sister was the first to reject meat. She said: "I don't want to eat that"

and my father answered: "We eat this and that's it". And I was sitting down next to her and

said: "Put it on my plate". That was me, I eat the meat from the vegetarians. What a shame.

Vegetarian life allows one to get rid of that imposition. Thanks to my sister, I was exposed to

vegetarianism.

A fine little girl on a fine neighborhood. It reminds me of a song of one chilean song writer.

He indeed saw very well what was going on. He saw those nutheads who imagined they were better

than others. The white ones have implanted the idea that they are better than others. And the

colored have implanted the idea that they are inferior. Therefore we have inferiority and

superiority complex all the time. So much injustice. And all of them live in secluded groups,

isolated from the rest. Too crazy this European mentality. Even nowadays we are proud for

being ecological and truthful. But there are too many rascals in between. All chemistry

companies are American. Europeans are deceivers, as Pizarro who deceived Atahualpa. But today

they are better disguised. They are experts on that. Maya is complex. For example, Germany has

became so intense, that if they catch you because your passport has expired for one day, they

put you in prison for a year. For that I'm ashamed of having a passport like this. When I

arrived to South America, Krishna made me see the other reality: that all is the mercy of God.

I learned that human beings have to be responsible, not the government. Because governments do

not get purified, unless ruled by a saintly Guru-like King and the subjects abide by the rules

of their Guru. Then purity would be conveyed from government to governed as from a father to a

child. But don't think we are not going to have opposition.

This world is very dangerous. Do not believe the papers nor political adds, because they are

from the same gang, under the same cover. And if you want to know who to believe in, if you

want to know the truth, read the Bhagavad-Gita. There lies the truth, Lord Krishna Himself.

He loves you and your community. Therefore, we keep on going: with Ecological Gardens Varsana,

with Ecological Gardens Vrindavan, with the Eco Truly Park and all the other places of the

infinite way of Krishna. I hope that the Peruvian devotees make the spoon revolution with so

much love that the demons do not know what to do, but smile and take prasadam. That is

Colombia's, Ecuador's, Chile's and Bolivia's task. For the whole Transcendental Andean Pact.

That they put that pact in motion and stop being influenced by the big companies. The alcohol

companies and the other stuff that takes away their sanity and turn them into victims and

offenders. Because one who is a victim also turns into an offender of this system. Alcohol is

the principal element for subjugate people. Alcohol is a political weapon, that is why in

communist countries everything is expensive, and one of the cheapest things is alcohol.

Therefore, choose the path of light and cheer up. Because we don't know if we will meet

again. I hope so. I don't want to leave, but we have to accept what the Lord wants. We are now

going to India to fight from the heart for the cleaning of waste in our sacred river. Only

Krishna's power can dry up all the poison, like He did 5000 years ago in the Yamuna. It's

amazing, Krishna has all the powers. And the only thing that I ask you, is that do not fight

with each other, please. And if somebody comes willing to fight, give him a loving hug, or a

gulabjamun. And if this does not work, leave him in the corner for a while until he realizes

that he must not fight.

Another topic, please remember that each temple has to have a complete song book. This is very

important.

We are nothing, not sadhus nor anything.

Take Krishna in your heart.

Hare Krishna

Jay Srila Prabhupada
