Aindra Dasa - Message to the World of Devotees
BY: MANJARI
Aug 03, 2010 — INDIA (SUN) — Everything HG Aindra prabhu wanted to say is in his last Vyasa Puja offering. His books will probably reveal the same. Read the transcription of his Vyasa Puja offering here.
Pertinent points he made:
1. On Raga Bhakti: He talks about the need for us to enter into raga bhakti to realize our siddha deha, out spiritual form.
"Thus some devotees attain knowledge about the moods of Krishna and His Vraja associates from the mouth of the Rasik Vaishnava guru, some from the mouth of the learned Raganuga devotee, and some whose heart has been purified by practicing devotional service will have this knowledge directly revealed to them from within their hearts." – HG Aindra Das
2. On Sastra's essential message: He wants us to read that the higher rasas experienced by Radha and Krishna with the gopis via the books left to us by the sampradaya acrayas. He stresses on the urgency of taking this up.
"How can we deem our transcendental book distribution a complete success? Unless that someone becomes fully absorbed in relishing the braja bhavas as a result of having gained the attraction and greed for them by deeply imbibing the sastras essential message.
Work now samadhi later, that's alright, but what work? and how much later? How later does later have to be, before later to be considered later enough? Later after some future God knows how many births? " -- HG Aindra Das
3. On Guru: But he says that attaining the highest moods of the gopis can only be obtained via the self realized guru or Caitya Guru.
"It's nice that we in our spiritual infantility, intelligently rely on the power of our guru's fully self realized purports in the matter of assisting his preaching mission through the solid medium of book distribution. That is no doubt a tremendous credit. In the end however, it will surely be preposterous to expect the books to be fully Krishna Consciousness for us, wouldn't it? " - HG Aindra Das
3. On Who can be Guru?: He stresses that only a liberated and self-realized soul can save the conditioned souls.
"It's only the emancipated jiva therefore who truly realizes what bliss is in store for the conditioned souls upon achieving the highest perfection. And as such, the emancipated is the fittest to instrumentally deliver the fallen souls to their highest end. Having the fully actuated in sac-cid ananda deha the emancipated jiva remain ever beyond the degrading modes of the ever degrading material nature. He or she may remain therefore, perpetually within the material world for assisting in the Lord's preaching mission. Apparently, descending into the 2nd class or madhyama adhikari devotional status without running the risk of falling down to the material platform. " -- HG Aindra Das
4. On Guru Selection and Yuga Dharma of this age: He daringly criticizes the current guru selection process. He says only a self-realized guru who is a rasika Vaishnava guru or Raga bhakta can be our guru. He has warned those not qualified not to initiate disciples. He emphasised on the importance of our yuga dharma that is performing nama sankirtana to achieve the ultimate perfection of reaching raganuga bhakti.
"No where is it mentioned in any sastras that neophytes and intermediate devotees achieve prema by initiating hundreds and thousands of disciples. It is really best not to accept any disciple at all. I repeat, this is Srila Prabhupada's instruction from the purport in Caitanya Caritamrta it is really best not to accept any disciples at all. Better by far we humbly endeavor to chant suddha naam via the intent prosecution of yuga dharma nama sankirtan with a view to achieve ultimate ragamaya perfection at the feet of Sri Guru. Then we may hope to become truly empowered instruments in the hands of the predecessor acaryas. " - HG Aindra Das
"We must always remember it is not that the authority constitutes truth. Truth constitutes authority. That is guru parampara. Diplomatic affairs tend to dismantle brahminical culture. " - HG Aindra Das
5. On internal form of Srila Prabhupada: He is most likely sees Srila Prabhupada as a manjari.
"Whatever we understand about Srila Prabhupada according to our individual maturity, level of purity, capacity and angle of vision we should know beyond a shred of doubt that our Srila Prabhupada is the top most braja basi, very very dear to Srimati Radharani. And by his mercy, we can also become similarly dear to her if we deeply understand his mission, sincerely take shelter of the yuga dharma nama sankirtan and try our best to follow in his footsteps without material contrivance and mental concoction. " -- HG Aindra Das
6. On his own self realization: He has probably realized his siddha form via his Caitya guru within. And in his compassion and prema that he has obtained, he wants us to realize that as well either via our own Caitya guru or a Raganuga bhakta, self realized guru.
"Please don't be distracted by the superfluous pursuits. Our human lives are very very short. Moreover the current of world affairs are extremely precarious. The urgency is paramount. If we actually want to become an empowered representatives of His Divine grace, then let us please boil down the milk making it thick and sweet by seriously concentrating our endeavors, focusing our attention as much as possible on the essence that of what our Srila Prabhupada is ultimately all about. (Bells ring) Confirmed." -- HG Aindra Das |

Bhaktisidhanta Sarasvatii teica: "Pieliec lielas puules, lai izvairiitos no shiis pasaules ekstravertiem." Man saak likties, ka Gii ir tas ekstraverts, vinjsh pastaaviigi runaa par aareejaam lietaam. Bet tas dod man dumpiniecisko garu: muusu dziive ir ljoti iisa, es vairs neteereeshu lieki ne momentu. Es atradiishu mieriigu vietu, kur mediteet. |
