Hare Krishna Prabhu, All glories to Srila Prabhupada Here's my question for the next guest: "Is our Bramha Madhva Gaudiya parampara a Siksha parampara or Diksha parampara? We see that not all acharyas are connected by Diksha. Is it important for us to be connected to the parampara by siksha or diksha? "
Hare Krishna Prabhu Dandvat pranam What is the importance of Sampradaya in aquiring transcendental knowledge? Can it also become a designation in the path of ones becoming a pure devotee(as a designation like Indian or American etc. since all ultimately are spirit souls). Of the four main sampradayas why does the Rudra Sampradaya have such a different tilak? Ys
Hi prabhu I have a question, pls let me have the answer I have watch this video, it was very nice and it has cleared long pending doubts, thank you very much. My question is: Lord Shree Ramachandra prabhu, why has Shree smt Seetha Maiya to the forest, that to be she was pregnant, this incident happened after the Agni pariksha. Kindly Answer elaborately. Hi Krishna prabhu
Hare Krishna. The incident you have referred happened after Lord Rama became the king. For a leader or ruler, the welfare of the kingdom is far superior to personal life. In fact, leaders should not have a personal life, unlike modern day thinking that public & personal life are 2 different things. In Vedic times, the king or leader is dedicated to the welfare of the public & he has no personal considerations. The leader & his family have to be of unimpeachable character. yatha raja tatha praja - if the king & his family members are not of good character, the citizens will also lose their character. So in the case of Lord Rama, His duties as a king were more important than His duties as a husband. In order to set an example to the public that the wife has to be of impeccable character, Lord Rama had to banish Sita. This again is something which only Lord Rama could do because by doing so He exhibited His opulence of renunciation. No one can be as renounced as the Supreme Lord. Renunciation is one of the 6 opulences of the Lord. So by this pastime, Lord Rama displayed His opulence of renunciation. By killing Ravana, He had already displayed His opulence of power. By becoming the king of Ayodhya, He displayed His opulence of wealth. Through the Ramayana, He dsiplayed His opulence of fame because the Ramayana is celebrated all over the world. In killing Vali within the rules of dharma He displayed His opulence of intelligence. By attracting all the sages of Dandakaranya, He displayed HIs opulence of beauty. And by banishing Sita, He displayed HIs opulence of renunciation.
Hare Krishna prabhuji dandavats How is it that duryodhana and team righteous enough to be taught by dronacharya if karna and ekalavya are not right people. Duryodhana used the art of warfare against the best of the devotees Ys
Hare Krishna. When Dronacharya taught the Pandavas & Kauravas, the understanding was that Yudhishthira would ascend to the throne. If that had happened, Yudhishthira would have kept Duryodhana in check. But after Duryodhana got all his education from Dronacharya, he turned rogue. We can't blame Dronacharya for that.
Hare Krishna. Suvyakta prabhu mentioned that when lord's devotee is glorified then the lord becomes more happy like the lord Rama was more happy when Hanuman was glorified. In a similar way is it ok to worship Hanuman instead of lord Rama. Will the lord Rama be happy.
If we worship the Lord Krishna's devotee, Krishna will be happy. At the same time, the devotee will be happy only when we worship Krishna. Hence our process is to worship both Krishna & His devotee simultaneously.
Hare Krishna Prabhuji please accept my humble obeisances all glories to Shrila Prabhupada My question is if husband is not Vaishnav then wife how should be like suniti or Suruchi ?
Lord Krishna says in the Srimad Bhagavatam, 10.29.25 duḥśīlo durbhago vṛddho jaḍo rogy adhano 'pi vā patiḥ strībhir na hātavyo lokepsubhir apātakī Even if he is not of very good character, or even if he is not very rich or fortunate, or even if he is old or invalid on account of continued diseases, whatever her husband’s condition, a woman should not divorce her husband if she actually desires to be elevated to the higher planetary systems after leaving this body, as long as the husband has not fallen from the path of dharma. If the husband is not a Vaishnava, as long as he is not irreligious, the husband & wife can mantain a harmonious married relationship, even if one is a vaisnava & the other is not. However, if the husband or wife is demonic like Hiranyakashipu, or he/she obstructs his/her spouse from rendering devotional service to Krishna like the yajnic brahmana husbands (ref Krishna Book chapter 23), the spouse can be rejected for rendering devotional service to Krishna. This is the philosophical principle. However, every relationship will have many complications & as far as possible, one should try to work out a middle path by which both spouses can peacefully remain in the relationship while allowing each other the space to follow their paths without trodding on the other's feet. It requires tolerance & sacrifice from both sides.
Hare Krishna Prabhu! Pamho! Agtsp! You said that either legal or illegal wedding in this material world causes misery. Because that is the nature of thi material world. And Lord Rama wants to prove as one of His message to the people. In this context 1) How to understand Lord Krishna is marrying 16000 gopis at Dwaraka and all were happy. 2) What are the symptoms to understand weather a particular activity is Karma or Lila? 3) And we say that people of the Rama Rajya have not seen any sufferings like there were no widows to lament, nor there was no danger from wild animals, nor any fear born of diseases etc. This statement contradicts with your first statement. 4) Sometimes we feel Vaishnava Philosophy is like a batter. If we pour thick it becomes Utappa, if we pour less then it becomes Dosa. When Lord will show Utappam or Dosa. Not sure. Could you please throw some light on this as well Prabhu. Thank you Prabhu. Ys
Hare Krishna 1. Lord Krishna marrying the queens of Dvaraka cannot be compared with the marriage of ordinary human beings. That is why Krishna married 16000 queens all at the same time - which is superhuman. So we cannot compare Krishna's marrying His eternal consorts with that of ordinary human beings. In the case of Lord Rama, although He married His eternal consort Sita devi, He wanted to show to the world the miseries associated with the union of male & female in the material world. That was Lord Rama's pastime, not Krishna's. Further, such distress in the married relationship is there between Lord Rama & Sita only in the material world. In the spiritual world, Lord Rama & Sita have an eternally blissful relationship without any interruption. 2. All activities of Lord Krishna's incarnations, whether it is Lord Rama or Lord Narasimha or Lord Vamanadeva etc, are all pastimes & there is no karma involved. As Lord Krishna says in the Bhagavad Gita, na mam karmani limpanti - all the activities of Krishna & His incarnations are free from all reactions, since they are all transcendental & above the 3 modes of material nature.
Hi prabhu, you have not responded to my question, it's been around 10. then what is the point of asking the viewers, to post questions and views? Pls respond at the earliest
Please do not interrupt the guest so often. Let him complete his answers before he does justice to a question. Please don't change his train of thought. The audience needs to benefit from this nectarian fruit from the guest. TV stations cause conflict amongst the guests by disturbing to cause conflict. In marriage, can you imagine what the children and spouse will experience with continual interruptions. Please take this as constructive criticism. SP never likes to be disturbed and interrupted before his answer has been properly addressed for whatever question has been asked. Please write down questions while the guest is answering... Hare Krishna
Hare Krishna Prabhuji, thank you for your crystal-clear explanation. I have the following doubts: 1) Although Krishna is described as the supreme personality of Godhead in the Bhagavad Gita and the Srimad Bhagavatam, we can only hear Krishna-centered history in ISKCON. In the outside world, especially among devotees of Lord Shiva, they claim Lord Shiva as the Supreme and quote various verses from Shiva Purana, etc. Does something like that actually exist in those Puranas, or is it a misunderstanding? 2) Some of our devotees in ISKCON claim that incidents like i) Lord Ramachandra worshipping Lord Shiva in Rameshwaram and ii) the pastimes of Sabari Mata tasting the food before it has been accepted by the Lord are not present in Valmiki Ramayana. Is that true?
Hare Krishna. 1. The Chaitanya Charitamrita clears this up with a verse from the Padma Purana. vyāmohāya carācarasya jagatas te te purāṇāgamās tāṁ tām eva hi devatāṁ paramikāṁ jalpantu kalpāvadhi siddhānte punar eka eva bhagavān viṣṇuḥ samastāgama- vyāpāreṣu vivecana-vyatikaraṁ nīteṣu niścīyate There are many types of Vedic literatures and supplementary Purāṇas. In each of them there are particular demigods who are spoken of as the chief demigods. This is just to create an illusion for moving and nonmoving living entities. Let them perpetually engage in such imaginations. However, when one analytically studies all these Vedic literatures collectively, he comes to the conclusion that Lord Viṣṇu is the one and only Supreme Personality of Godhead
About Sabari, Valmiki Ramayana just states that Sabari gave varieties of fruits & roots she had collected & preserved with great care for Lord Rama & Laksmana. There is no mention of her tasting it before giving it to Rama.
Reg Lord Rama worshipping Lord Siva, this is what Srila Prabhupada says in the Srimad Bhagavatam, 4.24.30 purport: Because Lord Siva is a great devotee of the Supreme Personality of Godhead, he loves all the devotees of the Supreme Lord. Lord Siva told the Pracetäs that because they were devotees of the Lord, he loved them very much. Lord Siva was not kind and merciful only to the Pracetäs; anyone who is a devotee of the Supreme Personality of Godhead is very dear to Lord Siva. Not only are the devotees dear to Lord Siva, but he respects them as much as he respects the Supreme Personality of Godhead. Similarly, devotees of the Supreme Lord also worship Lord Siva as the most dear devotee of Lord Krsna. They do not worship him as a separate Personality of Godhead. It is stated in the list of näma-aparädhas that it is an offense to think that the chanting of the name of Hari and the chanting of Hara, or Siva, are the same. The devotees must always know that Lord Visnu is the Supreme Personality of Godhead and that Lord Siva is His devotee. A devotee should be offered respect on the level of the Supreme Personality of Godhead, and sometimes even more respect. Indeed, Lord Räma, the Personality of Godhead Himself, sometimes worshiped Lord Siva. If a devotee is worshiped by the Lord, why should a devotee not be worshiped by other devotees on the same level with the Lord? This is the conclusion. From this verse it appears that Lord Siva blesses the asuras simply for the sake of formality. Actually he loves one who is devoted to the Supreme Personality of Godhead.

Even if he is not of very good character, or even if he is not very rich or fortunate, or even if he is old or invalid on account of continued diseases, whatever her husband’s condition, a woman should not divorce her husband if she actually desires to be elevated to the higher planetary systems after leaving this body, as long as the husband has not fallen from the path of dharma.
