Tradução Google Por Narada Rishi Dasa De uma forma única, o Senhor Krishna é adorado em um famoso templo em Puri, na Índia, e nos Rathayatras (festivais de carruagem), lá e no mundo. Nasci em uma família conservadora Orissan Vaishnava em Puri, na costa leste da Índia. O Supremo Senhor Jagannatha e Seus devotos estavam no centro da minha vida. Quando criança, brinquei com bonecas de Jagannatha, Baladeva (Balarama) e Subhadra, as divindades do famoso templo de Puri. Ainda me lembro de como minha mãe me deu enormes pratos de Jagannatha prasadam e me disse para sempre me lembrar do Senhor. Vi como as pessoas simples e dedicadas da Orissan - mesmo médicos, engenheiros e cientistas - nunca se esquecem de honrar Lorde Jagannatha. Eu assisti como o rei de Puri se torna um humilde servo e varre a rua diante do carrinho de Jagannatha durante o Rathayatra anual, ou festival das carruagens. O Senhor Jagannatha pode parecer peculiar e estranho ao mundo ocidental, mas Ele é a vida e a alm

By Narada Rishi Dasa In a unique form, Lord Krishna is worshiped in a famous temple in Puri, India, and at Rathayatras (chariot festivals) there and around the world. I was born in a conservative Orissan Vaishnava family in Puri, on the east coast of India. The Supreme Lord Jagannatha and His devotees were at the center of my life. As a child, I played with dolls of Jagannatha, Baladeva (Balarama), and Subhadra, the deities in the famous Puri temple. I still remember how my mother gave me enormous plates of Jagannatha prasadam and told me to always remember the Lord. I saw how the simple and devoted Orissan people—even doctors, engineers, and scientists—never neglect to honor Lord Jagannatha. I watched how the king of Puri becomes a humble servant and sweeps the street before Jagannatha’s cart during the yearly Rathayatra, or festival of the chariots. Lord Jagannatha may look peculiar and strange to the Western world, but He is the life and soul of the Orissans. Even though I atte

There are many hundreds and thousands of devotees of Lord  Caitanya  among whom there are no special symptoms, but when a devotee of Lord Śrī  Caitanya   Mahāprabhu  functions with specific prowess, he displays the feature called  āveśa .  Śrī  Caitanya   Mahāprabhu  personally spread the  saṅkīrtana  movement, and He advised all the inhabitants of Bhāratavarṣa to take up His cult and preach it all over the world. The visible bodily symptoms of devotees who follow such instructions are called  āveśa .  Śrīla Śivānanda  Sena  observed such  āveśa  symptoms in  Nakula   Brahmacārī , who displayed symptoms exactly like those of Śrī  Caitanya   Mahāprabhu . The  Caitanya - caritāmṛta  states that in the Age of  Kali  the only spiritual function is to broadcast the holy name of the Lord, but this function can be performed only by one who is actually empowered by Lord  Kṛṣṇa . The process by which a devotee is thus empowered is called  āveśa ,  or sometimes it is called  śakty- āveśa . CC

Mahārāja Parīkṣit said that only the animal-killer cannot relish the transcendental message of the Supreme Lord. Therefore if people are to be educated to the path of Godhead, they must be taught first and foremost to stop the process of animal-killing as above mentioned. It is nonsensical to say that animal-killing has nothing to do with spiritual realization. By this dangerous theory many so-called sannyāsīs have sprung up by the grace of Kali-yuga who preach animal-killing under the garb of the Vedas. The subject matter has already been discussed in the conversation between Lord Caitanya and Maulana Chand Kazi Shaheb. The animal sacrifice as stated in the Vedas is different from the unrestricted animal-killing in the slaughterhouse. Because the asuras or the so-called scholars of Vedic literatures put forward the evidence of animal-killing in the Vedas, Lord Buddha superficially denied the authority of the Vedas. This rejection of the Vedas by Lord Buddha was adopted in order to s

Bg 10 TEXT 19 śrī-bhagavān uvāca hanta te kathayiṣyāmi divyā hy ātma-vibhūtayaḥ prādhānyataḥ kuru-śreṣṭha nāsty anto vistarasya me SYNONYMS śrī   bhagavān   uvāca — the Supreme Personality of Godhead said;  hanta — yes;  te — unto you;   kathayiṣyāmi — I shall speak;  divyāḥ —divine;  hi —certainly;  ātma - vibhūtayaḥ — personal opulences;  prādhānyataḥ — principally;  kuruśreṣṭha — O best of the Kurus;  na   asti — there is no;  antaḥ — limit;  vistarasya — to the extent;  me— My. TRANSLATION The Blessed Lord said: Yes, I will tell you of My splendorous manifestations, but only of those which are prominent, O  Arjuna , for My opulence is limitless. PURPORT It is not possible to comprehend the greatness of  Kṛṣṇa  and His opulences. The senses of the individual soul are imperfect and do not permit him to understand the totality of Kṛṣṇa's affairs. Still the devotees try to understand  Kṛṣṇa , but not on the principle
