Binodini dasi

Residing:: Carlsbad, California

Initiated by:: Srila Bhaktivedanta Narayana Maharaja Gurudeva

Age:: 29

Associated with Krsna Consciousness For (yrs):: 29

Ashram:: Grhastha

Service:: eternally aspiring for service to Sri Guru and Vaisnavas

Occupation:: retail business owner

About Me:: Thought I took birth in America in November 1977 in an Indian body to Indian parents, I have much attachment for India and its culture. Since birth, we were raised going to ISKCON temples and as a little girl I would jump up and down in the kirtans in front of Swami Maharaja's vyasasana and I would look so forward to the big Janmastami festivals at the temple. We went to so many temples of different Hindu sectarian schools, but I was always attached to Srila Swami Maharaja's ISKCON. Then, after journeying and diverting through school, high school and college, and boring corporate jobs...I realized I needed direction in my life. I would always question, why, why did I not have the great fortune of meeting Srila Swami Maharaja. By Guru's everlasting mercy and great fortune, when I met Srila Gurudeva I felt in my heart this is non-different than meeting Srila Swami Maharaja.

Right now, I have great difficult reconciling the two lives I lead. One being a business owner and two aspiring for daily devotional service and progression on the path of bhakti. But unfortunately, I have not learnt my lesson. While working like a donkey day and night, I still have no faith that Lord Krishna will take care of me if only I would surrender to the loving protection He offers.

When will I understand all this work may result in nothing? When I do understand, certainly on that day Srila Gurudeva would be pleased.
I'm offering my prayers to all the senior Vaisnavas that I will one day get it right and I will one day stop criticizing and using harsh words on others.
Hare Krishna!

dandavat pranams
Several days ago my mothers soul departed from this world. God bless the departed soul.
I want to thank all of you who have been there for me and given me support during the past several months while my Mother was batteling pancreatic cancer.
This has meant alot to me and I'm eternaly grateful. Krishna Conciousness has taught me the real purpose of my life. I'm grateful to Srila Prabhupada and Srila Gurudeva who has once again reminded me that the purpose of this life is to do Hari Bhajan. My Mothers soul is now free and is no longer going through pain & suffering. I am grateful for the time I was able to spend with her, and for the honor of serving her.
Thank you all again for being part of my life.
Jai Sri Radhe
Subal

At 12:12pm on September 27th, 2007, Swami B.V. Vishnu Daivata said…: The Supreme Lord, the Personality of Godhead, although the Lord of all followers of different paths of self-realization, is knowable only by those who are above all pretensions. Everyone is searching for eternal peace or eternal life, and with an aim to this destination everyone is either studying the Vedic scriptures or other religious scriptures or undergoing severe austerity as empiric philosophers, as mystics yogis or as unalloyed devotees, etc. But the Supreme Lord is perfectly realized only by the devotees because they are above all pretensions. Those who are on the path of self-realization are generally classified as karmis, jnanis, yogis, or devotees of the Lord. The karmis, who are much attracted by the fruitive activities of the Vedic rituals, are called bhukti-kami, or those who desire material enjoyment. The jnanis, who try to become one with the Supreme by mental speculation, are called mukti-kami, or those who desire liberation from material existence. The mystic yogis, who practice different types of austerities for attainment of eight kinds of material perfection and who ultimately meet the Supersoul (Paramatma) in trance, are called siddhi-kami, or those who desire the perfection of becoming finer than the finest, becoming heavier than the heaviest, getting everything desired, having control over everyone, creating everything liked, etc. All these are abilities of a powerful yogi. But the devotees of the Lord do not want anything like that for self-satisfaction. They want only to serve the Lord because the Lord is great and as living entities they are eternally subordinate parts and parcels of the Lord. This perfect realization of the self by the devotee helps him to become desireless, to desire nothing for his personal self, and thus the devotees are called niskami, without any desire. A living entity, by his constitutional position, cannot be void of all desires (the bhukti-kami, mukti-kami and siddhi-kami all desire something for personal satisfaction), but the niskami devotees of the Lord desire everything for the satisfaction of the Lord. They are completely dependent on the orders of the Lord and are always ready to discharge their duty for the satisfaction of the Lord.
In the beginning Arjuna placed himself as one of those who desire self-satisfaction, for he desired not to fight in the Battle of Kuruksetra, but to make him desireless the Lord preached the Bhagavad-gita, in which the ways of karma-yoga, jnana-yoga, hatha-yoga and also bhakti-yoga were explained. Because Arjuna was without any pretension, he changed his decision and satisfied the Lord by agreeing to fight (karisye vacanam tava) [Bg. 18.73], and thus he became desireless.
The examples of Brahma and Lord Siva are specifically cited here because Brahmaji, Lord Siva, Srimati Laksmiji and the four Kumaras (Sanaka, Sanatana, etc.) are leaders of the four desireless Vaisnava sampradayas. They are all freed from all pretensions. Srila Jiva Gosvami interprets the word gata-vyalikaih as projjhita-kaitavaih, or those who are freed from all pretensions (the unalloyed devotees only). In the Caitanya-caritamrta (Madhya 19.149) it is said:
krsna-bhakta--niskama, ata eva 'santa'
bhukti-mukti-siddhi-kami, sakali 'asanta'
Those who are after fruitive results for their pious activities, those who desire salvation and identity with the Supreme, and those who desire material perfections of mystic power are all restless because they want something for themselves, but the devotee is completely peaceful because he has no demand for himself and is always ready to serve the desire of the Lord. The conclusion is, therefore, that the Lord is for everyone because no one can achieve the result of his respective desires without His sanction, but as stated by the Lord in Bhagavad-gita (8.9), all such results are awarded by Him only, for the Lord is adhisvara (the original controller) of everyone, namely the Vedantists, the great karma-kandiyas, the great religious leaders, the great performers of austerity and all who are striving for spiritual advancement. But ultimately He is realized by the pretensionless devotees only. Therefore special stress is given to the devotional service of the Lord by Srila Sukadeva Gosvami.

About Sanga-Space

Sanga Space is a haven for the devotees to hear and discuss the words of Srila Gurudeva and the other authorized pure devotees. It's like a MySpace and more for the devotees of Krishna.

In Germany 2007, I asked Srila Gurudeva if his online video classes were like books.. he said 'Yes they are just like books'. So please don't miss all the video classes of Gurudeva that are available under the Videos Tab, and use the added facility to take and save your own personal class notes.
