He is Beyond Birth and Death

There are here two types of devotees, Oriya-speaking, and
English-speaking devotees, therefore I have to speak in two

glorification of a pure devotee of Ka, Vaiava hkura, our

revered spiritual master, r rmad A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami
Prabhupdaj Mahrja. We should understand a Vaiava never
dies. A Vaiava has no birth and no death like an ordinary
jva. He is no ordinary jva, he is beyond birth and death. As
the Supreme Lord appears and disappears, similarly His dear
devotee, Vaiava Thkura, appears and disappears.
na karma-bandhuna janma vaiavn ca vidyate
viur anucaratva hi mokam hur mania
A Vaiava does not take birth under the jurisdiction
of karmic law. His birth and disappearance are
transcendental. The wise have declared that the servants
of Viu are eternally engaged in the liberated service of
the Lord and hence are free from the laws of material
nature. (Hari-bhakti-vilsa, 10.113)

The Vaiavas have no birth, no death and no bondage of

karma. They are the dear servants of Lord Viu, therefore they
are not ordinary human beings. They never take birth and they
never die as ordinary human beings. One should not think that
they take birth and die like ordinary human beings do. If one
thinks in that way he will commit a great apardha, offence.

An Opportunity to Glorify
Vaiavas appear and disappear in the same way the Supreme
Lord and His innumerable incarnations appear and disappear.
The appearance and disappearance day of a Vaiava is as
auspicious as the appearance day of the Supreme Lord. These
days give us an opportunity to glorify such a devotee. A Vaiava

is always to be glorified. He has left indestructible fame and

glory here. His fame is not only chanted in the material world,
it is also chanted in the spiritual world. His glories are chanted
everywhere. One who glorifies such a Vaiava receives the
mercy of that Vaiava, and his good fortune arises.

rla Prabhupda Fulfilled Mahprabhus Desire

Today is the holy disappearance day of our revered spiritual
master r rmad A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupdaj
Mahrja, the Founder-crya of the International Society
for Ka Consciousness. He fulfilled the desires of rman
Mahprabhu. rman Mahprabhu had this desire:
pthivte che yata nagardi-grm
sarvatra pracra haibe mora nma
In every town and village on this earth the glories of
My name will be chanted.

(Caitanya-bhgavata Antya-ll 4.126)

This was the prophecy that Mahprabhu gave five hundred

years ago that has been fulfilled by (our revered spiritual
master), r rmad A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupda,
guru, the previous cryas and Gaurga Mahprabhu Himself.
Otherwise no one else could do such a wonderfully miraculous
thing. Ka-akti vin nahe tra pravartana, without the
assistance of ka-akti no one can do such a thing, through
ones own effort. We should understand that rla Prabhupda
was completely empowered, otherwise how could he fulfill the
desires of rman Mahprabhu?

By the Mercy of a Dear Devotee

Thus, this day has come to glorify our revered spiritual master.
I will ask some of the devotees to glorify him and at the end I
will speak something. Therefore you should sit down patiently
and hear the glorifications, take part in the glorification. One
who does so will gain all auspiciousness, get his mercy and be
benefitted.
Manohara Mtj, a disciple of rla Prabhupda, explained in
her glorification that she had come from a Christian background.
Meeting Prabhupda she came to understand that the Supreme
Lord is a person, not an impersonal idea, and that He is Ka.
The jva, living entity has a perfect, eternal, loving relationship
with Ka. The purpose of this rarely achieved human birth,
durlabha mnua janma [Bhg. 7.6.1], is to understand Ka,
to know Ka, to see Ka, to get Ka and to re-establish our
lost relationship with Ka.
Who can do so? How will a person be established again in
their eternal relationship with the Lord? This can only be done
by the mercy of a very dear devotee of Ka, and such a person
is not easily available. He is a rare personality. One who has
good fortune can meet such a person otherwise no one can
meet such a person, or one may not be able to see him and thus
cannot obtain his mercy

O my lord, great philanthropic souls travel on the

earth on behalf of the Supreme Personality of Godhead
to show compassion to the fallen souls who are averse to
the sense of subordination to the Lord.

(rmad-Bhgavatam 3.5.3)

We have forgotten Ka because of our prrabdha-karma, our

past misdeeds, and we have been moving here in this material
world, undergoing birth in lakhs of species of life and have been
afflicted with the three tpas. Those rare personalities, dear
devotees of Ka, Vaiava hkura, descend here and wander
in this material world to shower their mercy on us suffering
jvas.
They are very merciful; to meet them is very, very auspicious,
and one should understand that when good fortune arises, one
may meet such a person. By the mercy of such a devotee one
can understand his own true identity, who the Lord is and how
to obtain Him and thus achieve the goal of this rarely achieved
human birth.
brahma bhramite kona bhgyavn jva
guru-ka-prasde pya bhakti-lat bja
According to their karma, all living entities are
wandering throughout the entire universe. Some of them
are being elevated to the upper planetary systems, and
some are going down into the lower planetary systems.
Out of many millions of wandering living entities, one
who is very fortunate has the opportunity to associate
with a bona fide spiritual master by the grace of Ka.
By the mercy of both Ka and the spiritual master, such
a person receives the seed of the creeper of devotional
service. (Caitanya-caritmta, Madhya-ll 19.151)

Wandering and wandering in lakhs of brahmas, in lakhs of

species of life a jva who is very, very fortunate receives the seed
of the bhakti creeper by the mercy of guru and Ka. Jvera
svarpa hayakera nitya-dsa, the real identity of the jva
is that he is the eternal servant of Ka. [Cc. Madhya 20.108]
The jva is not an inhabitant of this material universe, material
brahma. He has abused his minute independence and has
therefore been wandering here in the cycle of repeated birth
and death, in lakhs of species of life; sometimes he is a man,
sometimes a demigod or a demon, or a tree, a creeper, a worm
or a germ. When good fortune arises a jva meets sad-guru, ri
Guru. The life in which one receives the darana of r Guru is a
very, very successful life. That is the souls good fortune.

Darana of r Guru
Having the darana of Gurudeva [sad-guru], truly seeing
Gurudeva, means to receive his mercy. We see Gurudeva with
these eyes, however if Gurudeva casts his merciful glance on
us, whereby we can realise what his real svarpa is, that he is a
mah-bhgavata then it should be understood that we are very
fortunate. Otherwise we should consider ourselves unfortunate.
Guru means heavy, not light. If someone obtains the darana
of such a sad-guru then it is understood that good fortune has
arisen for him. We are not speaking of seeing the external body
constituted of blood, flesh and bones. Darana is not seeing
the external form of guru. To see the gurus real form, his real
svarpa, and how dear he is to Ka, that is guru-darana. That
is not material darana, but transcendental, spiritual darana,
aprkta-darana. If someone can see how the gaura-karuakt, the mercy potency of Gaura, is moving in him, that is the
7

`

Sr Murti
.
. . Krpa

darana of guru. One who can see this is very, very fortunate.
That is good fortune.
Guru means he is very merciful. He is very tolerant. He always
excuses our innumerable apardhas, offences. He is very, very
merciful to all jvas. He is very dear to Ka. ri Guru is a most
dear and intimate associate of Ka. He has come here to give
us Ka. He gave us Ka. What do we receive from him? We
receive faith. He gives us faith in Ka, ka-raddh, taste
in ka-kath, ka-kath ruci, and the invaluable wealth
of ka-prema. That is the real darana of guru. He is always
looking at us with merciful eyes. He has taken up this resolution
to deliver us from our most fallen position.
Prior to the darana of r Guru we were ill-fated, we had bad
fortune. The day we met r Guru, sad-guru, good fortune arose.
If someone has the opportunity to meet such a guru then he
begins to be freed of material bondage. When material bondage
is destroyed then he has the opportunity to have the darana of
r Guru, mahtma, mah-bhgavata. That person is bhgyavn,
he is very, very fortunate. The ill-fated jva, having already
wandered through lakhs and lakhs of brahmas experiencing
only misfortune, becomes fortunate by the darana of a mahbhgavata, ka-preha; a dear devotee of Ka.
In this material word one may think his material desires are
fulfilled when he meets the President of the State, Chief Minister
or Prime Minister, O, I am very fortunate. No, this is not
good fortune. We are not speaking of this fortune. There is no
language to convey the fortune arising from meeting guru. Up
until now a person may have been a karm or a jn or bhog or
tyg, however now, meeting sad-guru, he becomes ka-dsa.
This is good fortune. Then one is situated in his constitutional
position, becoming ka-dsa. This is good fortune. This is sva8

bhgya. Revolving in the cycle of birth and death now comes to

an end. This is good fortune.
As one can see the sun only by the help of the sunshine,
similarly, by the mercy of guru, sdhu, mahjana, Vaiava
hkura, one can see guru. Otherwise no one can see the guru
with material eyes, or by seeing the photo of guru or the external
body of guru. That is not real darana. Real darana means to see
the real form of guru, how he is a mah-bhgavata, how he is a
dear devotee of Ka.

Paramtm Assumes a Body

nyam tm pravacanena labhyo
na medhay na bahun rutena
Kaha Upaniad [1.2.23] states that you cannot understand
the paramtm-tattva by hearing lectures from so many karms,
jns, paitas or yogs. He who is there in the heart as caittyaguru, Paramtm, when He assumes a body and appears before
us and speaks, then we will be able to understand paramtmtattva; otherwise we cannot understand. To have the darana
of guru means to get a completely new life, new enlightenment
comes. Guru-ka prasde pya bhakti-lat bja [Cc. Madhya
19.151], by the mercy of guru and Ka a fortunate jva receives
the seed of the bhakti creeper.

The Seed of the Bhakti Creeper

ka yadi kp kori kona bhgyavne

`
K.rsna

. . Krpa

Ka is situated in everyones heart as the caittyaguru, the spiritual master within. When He is kind to
some fortunate conditioned soul, He personally gives
him lessons so he can progress in devotional service,
instructing the person as the Supersoul within and the
spiritual master without. (Caitanya-caritmta, Madhyall 22.47)

If Ka showers His mercy on some fortunate jva He appears

before him as guru, and teaches. That is mercy. Therefore
Gurudeva is known as ka-kp-r-mrti, the embodiment of
ka-kp, the mercy of Ka. To get guru means to receive the
mercy of Ka. That is what one should understand. Gurudeva
is the embodiment of the mercy of Ka, ka-prasda. If one
meets guru his good fortune arises because he receives the seed
of the bhakti creeper. Obtaining material enjoyment, liberation,
gold, kmi, women, or name, fame and prestige are not good
fortune. The my-grasta jva, the conditioned soul thinks, O,
these are good fortune, although this is not real good fortune.
What then is good fortune? Good fortune means to get bhakti,
the seed of the bhakti creeper. What is the seed of the bhakti
creeper? raddh, unflinching faith, striya-raddh, faith in
sdhu-stra-guru-vkya; that is the seed of the bhakti creeper.
Therefore what is the seed of raddh? The seed of raddh is
sdhu-guru-kp, the mercy of sdhu-guru.

r Guru Uncovers Nitya-Siddha Bhva

In Bhakti-rasmta-sindhu [1.2.2] it is stated, nitya-siddhasya
bhvasya prkatyam hdi sdhyat, by the mercy of r Guru,
sad-guru, one will develop prema-bhakti; raddh, rati, ruci, prti
will gradually develop. Jvera svarpa hayakera nitya
10

dsa, the svarpa, the real identity of the jva is eternal servant
of Ka. The nitya-siddha bhva, the eternal perfect love, prti,
bhakti, prema-bhakti, is in the jva but it is covered over. How
will the covering be removed? How will bhakti manifest?
If you get guru-kp, the mercy of guru, the covering is lifted
and bhakti will manifest. It is not that bhakti is not in the jva. It
is in the jva, however it is not manifest, it is covered. Gurudeva
only uncovers it. He causes its manifestation, nothing else. One
who is able to do so, he is guru. He is a mah-bhgavata. By his
mercy we obtain the seed of the bhakti creeper. He has come to
deliver me and relieve me from my distress and unhappiness.
This bhva arises in the heart on seeing the guru.
ka se tomra, ka dite pro
tomra akati ache m to kgla
ka ka boli dhi tava pche pche

(Ohe Vaiava hkura rla Bhaktivinode hkura)

Ka is his. He has bound Ka in his heart with the rope

of love. Ka belongs to him. Only he can give me Ka.
Therefore he will give me ka-raddh, faith in Ka, karati, ka-prema. There should be unflinching faith; this is a
question of faith. Seeing such a guru this faith automatically,
naturally comes up, bhaktis tu bhagavad-bhakta-sagena
parijyate [Bhan-nradya Pura 4.33]. Bhakti is there however
it is covered, it is hidden, but by the mercy of guru, bhakti arises
and is uncovered. What is not there, how will it manifest? It is
there. Nsato vidyate bhvo nbhvo vidyate sata, those who are
seers of the truth have concluded that of the non-existent (the
material body) there is no endurance, but of the eternal (the
soul) there is no change. This verse is described in Bhagavadgt [2.16]. Thus this bhakti-dhana is present, however Gurudeva
11

`
K.rsna
Sr Murti

. . Krpa

makes it manifest, uncovers it. Gurudeva is wealthy in bhaktidhana, not material wealth.

A Great Revolution
Guru cameand gave darana, however I am most unfortunate;
I could not see him. This is most unfortunate. Try to understand
what I am trying to say. It is very deep philosophy. Upon seeing
him it is automatic, it is spontaneous that such bhva arises in
the heart to surrender unto him, to serve him. Then it is to be
understood that that jva is a bhgyavan-jva, a very fortunate
jva. By hearing from him, coming in touch with him, associating
with him and listening to his kath, a faithless person becomes
faithful, faith arises in his heart. He gets a new life. This is a
very great incident in ones life. This is a great revolution in the
life. The flow of his life is completely reversed. The flow was
channelled towards the material world or towards the objects of
enjoyment. Now the flow is channelled towards Ka.
To see r Guru and sad-guru is a great revolution in life.
Whatever you may be, an atheist, a scientist or a philosopher,
if you are fortunate to see sad-guru, then your life will be
completely changed. A new flow is there. This is bhgya, this is
real good fortune. If there is no good fortune, one cannot have
darana of sad-guru. Therefore it is said: brahma bhramite
kona bhgyavn jva, guru-ka-prasde pya bhakti-lat bja
[Cc. Madhya 19.151].

The First Shower of His Causeless Mercy

Gurudeva speaks ka-kath, and through your ears you see
guru, not through your eyes. Through the ear, through v he
12

`

makes Ka enter into you. The form of Ka comes later.

First you have to hear. First His holy name comes,
hare ka hare ka ka ka hare hare,
hare rma hare rma rma rma hare hare.
Uttering this mah-mantra, putting it into our ears, this is
the first shower of r Gurus causeless mercy. The result is
immediate. The abda-brahma, the word, the holy name in the
form of the (maha) mantra descends. That mantra frees us from
our mano-dharma, mental concoctions.
There are many gurus prepared to give mantra. They have
made a profession of giving mantra. They are professional mantra
gurus, mantra-vyavasy, they are always ready to give mantra.
Come here. Give me a hundred dollars; I will give you Ka
immediately. This is vyavasy, this is their business; however
what mantra can they give? The mantras they give are not real
mantras, bb, only words, alphabet letters; they want prama
and pram, they want to be worshipped and to receive money,
hundreds of dollars. They cannot give you Ka. You should
understand this.

rla Prabhupda is Ka-Dt-Guru

rla Prabhupda is not a mantra-dt-guru, he is ka-dtguru, the guru who came to give you Ka, to give you shelter,
raya-dt-guru. He taught us how to tread the devotional
path, how to walk on this path. He made all nice arrangements
how to follow this path leading to Vaikuha. In a similar way
as a primary school teacher who takes the hand of a child and
guides him to write A-B-C, catching hold of our hand, rla
13

`
K.rsna
Sr Murti
.
. . Krpa

Prabhupda has taught us what other gurus are not able to, what
other gurus do not know.
They only want prama and pram, worship and money.
Therefore they have no ability to take to this path of devotional
service and teach others how to tread the path. They have no
ability to move there. Whereas rla Prabhupda made nice
arrangements for ravaa, krtana, arcana and vandana.
That is his causeless mercy.

rla Prabhupda Made Many Arrangements

rla Prabhupda did not just give a mantra and then send
the disciples home. No. He opened hundreds and hundreds of
ISKCON temples and centres throughout the world. He made
arrangements for devotees to stay in the temple, for receiving
food, prasda, he made all nice arrangements in all ISKCON
centres. Those who are gha-tygi, those who had already left
home, they will stay there always and be engaged in hari-bhajan,
in the service of Lord Hari. However those who are ghasthas,
ghastha-iyas, will they stay in their gha only? No, they
should come here at intervals, to the ISKCON Mandir, temple,
associate with sdhu-vaiavas and hear hari-kath.
There are also arrangements of many, many festivals. Every
week there is a Sunday festival. Every week, every month; every
year there are many festivals taking place. Ghasthas should
at least come and join during festival times. Come, join in
the festival, see the festival, hear ka-kath and accept very
sweet ka-prasda. Then, because you have established a
relationship with guru, you are in guru-sasra.
Guru-sasra means ka-sasra, the transcendental
world. Many big festivals, krtana, rati, arcana, are day and night
14

`

24-hours going on. Come and participate. You will get so much
pleasure, so much joy and blissfulness. See the very beautiful
r-vigraha, chant and dance before r-vigraha, and hear kakath. Taste this nice sweet, nectarean ka-prasda, mahprasda. Your life will be successful and you will be relieved of
all your suffering, and unhappiness. rla Prabhupda made all
these arrangements so we could follow this path of devotion.

The Only Bhik

Not only that, rla Prabhupda sends preachers to all
corners of the world. In towns, villages, and homes, he attracts
people, Come here to our ISKCON centre, ISKCON Mandira.
Stay here, take prasda, do hari-krtana, rdh ka bolo, sage
calo ei-mtra bhikh ci [Gtval]. This is the only bhik I am
begging, Utter Rdh-Ka. Come with me! Come with me!
Come with me!
Ghasthas cannot serve Rdh-Ka day and night.
Whenever you have the opportunity, come to the temple. Chant
Hare Ka, dance and take ka-prasda. He has made all
these arrangements. rla Prabhupda is not only mantra-dtguru, he is also araya-dt-guru. He is not a guru who only
gives mantra, he also gives shelter, and he gives Ka. He takes
responsibility for all of his disciples.

Enter into Ka-Sasra

You are indebted. You have many debts to pay back to the
demigods, to all the living entities, to your father and mother,
to all humanity. How can you pay them back? You cannot, but
you can come and enter into guru-sasra, ka-sasra. All
15

`
K.rsna
Sr Murti
.
. . Krpa

nice arrangements are there to develop bhakti, pure bhakti, and

you will be free from your debts and obligations.
rla Prabhupda is supremely merciful. He never discouraged
ghasthas. You are a ghastha, so keep aside, your my-sasra,
material sasra. Come slowly, come slowly and enter into
our sasra. There may be some delay; still we will not spare
you. We will catch hold of your ikh and drag you. This is
all by Prabhupdas mercy. Think how merciful he is! This is
r rmad A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupdaj Mahrja, a
mah-bhgavata, bhgavatottama.

He Opened the Door

rla Prabhupda organised so many festivals, printed
so many books and magazines, constructed many beautiful
temples, arranged dhma-parikrams of Navadvpa dhmaparikram, and Vndvana-dhma-parikram. He sent preachers
to all corners of the world, to every town and village, making
arrangements for preaching the science of Ka consciousness.
He opened the door for one and all, regardless of whether one
is pp or tp, the most degraded, sinful person or the most
elevated person. That is his causeless mercy, supreme mercy,
incomparable and uncommon mercy.

He Showered His Mercy on One and All

Today is the holy disappearance day of rla Prabhupda.
If we pray for his mercy, have his darana, hear his nectarean
kath then all auspiciousness will come to us. Our life will be
successful and we will become free from material bondage. This
is the real good fortune.
16

rla Prabhupda has showered his mercy on one and all;

on very materialistic persons, on wealthy persons, on those
who cannot follow the four regulative principles, on those who
cannot give up smoking bidi, who cannot give up smoking
cigarettes, blowing the white flute and on those who cannot
give up eating fish, meat and drinking liquor. He still tells them,
You have wealth, give something to us, and we will utilise that
wealth in Kas service. For this reason he established Life
Memberships, giving those people who otherwise would not
have the opportunity to render some service whereby they will
get sukti so that in this very life or in the next life they will
become a bhakta, definitely. According to your ability you may
accept it. The more you accept the more auspiciousness will
come to you.
Thus, on this day, his holy disappearance day, I offer a prayer,
Let rla Prabhupda shower his mercy on one and all.
rla Prabhupdaj Mahrja ki jaya!

Vaiavas appear
and disappear in
the same way the
Supreme Lord and
His innumerable
incarnations appear and disappear.
The appearance and
disappearance day
of a Vaiava is as
auspicious as the
appearance day of
the Supreme Lord.
These days give us
an opportunity to glorify such a devotee. A Vaiava is always
to be glorified. He has left indestructible fame and glory here.
His fame is not only chanted in the material world, it is also
chanted in the spiritual world. His glories are chanted everywhere. One who glorifies such a Vaiava receives the mercy
of that Vaiava, and his good fortune arises.
