dear to Krishna
|
Anyone who is preaching the confidential message of the Gītā to the people in general is so dear to Kṛṣṇa that no one can be equal with him in human society. Devotional service in friendship can be divided into two categories: one is to act as the confidential servant of the Lord, and the other is to act as the well-wisher of the Lord. The devotee who has confidence in devotional service to the Lord systematically follows the rules and regulations, with the faith that he will achieve the platform of transcendental life. The second type of devotional friendship is to become a well-wisher of the Supreme Personality of Godhead. In the Bhagavad-gita it is said that the Lord accepts a preacher as the most dear servant. Anyone who is preaching the confidential message of the Gita to the people in general is so dear to Krsna that no one can be equal with him in human society.
(More...) Imported quote 17448 Therefore Visvanatha Cakravarti Thakura says, yasya prasadad bhagavat-prasadaḥ. Not that bhagavat-prasada is achieved by education and grammar. No. Yasya prasadad bhagavat-prasadaḥ. By the mercy of guru one can achieve. That is just like a common word, "If you love me, love my dog." So you cannot approach Krsna without loving His dog, His servant. Satam prasahgat. A person who is trying to distribute the message of Krsna, he is very, very dear dog of Krsna. Na ca tasman manusyesu kascin me priya-krttamaḥ [Bg 18.69].

[break] You sent Bhavananda there many years ago when they were in Brooklyn and ordered him to make the devotees happy. And ever since then, they've been peaceful. Very sumptuously [indistinct]. Even before that. I remember when I first came to New York, when the storefront was there. I came on Sunday, and there were so many different preparations. Hamsadūta Maharaja was cooking. And so many different preparations. And after taking that feast I decided that I would not leave-"This is too nice." So they're going on, still very opulent, sumptuous prasadam. And people are deciding that "Oh, this is very nice. Let us not leave. Let us go on taking prasadam." And in the restaurant very respectable people come. [pause]

What is the use of keeping money unless thereis a need. It is also a good idea for you to fill in the position of GBC for South Africa until the Mayapur meeting. You are a fit man. I think you are the best experienced GBC. Yes, go to South Africa as soon as you get the opportunity to see that everything is going on there nicely. Regarding my car, the present exchange rate is not proper. So, deposit the money from selling the car either in my account in Lloyd's Bank or Punjab National Bank. I shall pay here for purchasing a new car. I am very pleased to see how nice the book distribution is increasing in Germany. Give those two boys who have done so nicely my thanks. Krishna will bless them. ye yatha mam prapdayante tams tathaiva bhajamy aham [Bg 4.11]. Krsna becomes more and more pleased by seeing the increment of book distribution. Devotional service is absolute but one who preaches His message becomes very dear to Lord Krsna. Hoping this will meet you in good health. Your ever well-wisher,

I have received a Letter from Jayatirtha saying that you have distributed in one week 522 and 521 big books respectively. This is very wonderful. I thank you so much.

I started this movement alone in a foreign country and Krsna gave me all success. Krsna will certainly help you if you simply remain sincere and try to present Krsna consciousness as it is. I know the atmosphere in Chandigarh is very receptive. Hoping this will meet you in good health. Imported quote 22131 I have heard from Brahmananda Swami that you are organizing the purchase of the house in Mombasa that we want as Krishna's temple. All the blessings of Krishna are with you. na ca tasman manusyesu kaccin me priya-krttamah bhavita na ca me tasmad anyah priyataro bhuvi [Bg 18.69] Anyone who preaches Bhagavad-gita is very dear to Krsna. So, you are helping this preaching. Certainly you'll be dear to Krsna. It is an open secret, anyone who helps spread Krsna consciousness becomes very dear to Krsna. Others are simply wasting time in the valuable human form of life.
