Srila Prabhupada-There is no necessity of expanding these material opulences!
www.prabhupadaharinam.org
According to Prahlāda Mahārāja, material prosperity on Earth or other planets is temporary and influenced by material nature. Srila Prabhupada mentions in his references to the Bhagavad-gītā that even the highest planets are perishable. He encourages us to forsake perishable pursuits and concentrate on the everlasting.
Prahlāda Mahārāja highlights the importance of worshiping the Supreme Personality of Godhead for attaining eternal life. He emphasizes the pointlessness of planning for permanent settlement in the material world, which often leads to the opposite outcome. Nature's law is to destroy everything in its path.
He highlights that our desires revolve around bodily comfort, yet the body is impermanent. Prahlāda warns against developing attachments to various worldly possessions such as children, wives, houses, wealth, kingdoms, treasuries, elephants, ministers, servants, and friends, as they are all connected to material opulence.
Prahlāda ultimately encourages focusing on spiritual goals and attaining permanent, supreme knowledge. In contrast, he highlights the fleeting nature and illusions of the material world, underscoring the necessity of moving towards a lasting, spiritual realm in the search for Absolute Truth.

In a lecture by Srila Prabhupada in Pittsburgh on September 8, 1972, he discusses the teachings of Bhagavad Gita Chapter 2, Verse 13. He emphasizes the importance of understanding the concept of the spirit soul within the body and how it remains unchanged despite the body's aging. Prabhupada also mentions the idea of transmigration of the soul and the role of Sri Krishna in explaining this process. He highlights the need to address economic problems by recognizing God as the Supreme Father, Supreme Proprietor, and Supreme Friend. Prabhupada encourages a shift from material pursuits to understanding our spiritual nature, as explained in the Bhagavad Gita.

Dharmavira Das Prabhu - I have many kanishta and less than kanishta God brothers
Autobiography of Dharmavira Das Prabhu www.prabhupadaharinam.org
Welcome, Hare Krishna devotees and Vaishnavis! I'm here to give you a peek into my spiritual journey.

Guru Definition - What Is A Guru? Guru Tattva explained by Srila Dharmavira Prabhu
To learn how to chant 64 you need to visit: https://www.prabhupadaharinam.com
This video is all about "guru tattva, definition of a Vaishnava guru". Srila Dharmavira Das Prabhu also cover how:
- to define a guru
-to make sure your guru is real
-to look for proper symtoms
The significance of having a true spiritual mentor for attaining genuine happiness and self-discovery is highlighted here. The idea that a self-realized guru is crucial for spiritual advancement is supported by various scriptures, such as Srimad-Bhagavatam, Mundaka Upanishad, Bhagavad-gita, and Chaitanya Charitamrita.
The definition of a qualified guru is someone who has comprehended the Vedic scriptures, the Supreme Absolute Truth (Shri Krishna), and has no attachments to the material world. Simply possessing theoretical knowledge isn't enough.
Following unqualified gurus blindly is discouraged and true gurus and disciples are rare. The relationship between the guru and disciple is reciprocal, where the guru discloses himself to the sincere seeker, and Krishna guides the earnest devotee.
Remind to be wary of gurus who take advantage of their followers and turn spirituality into a business. Self-effulgence and dedication to serving Krishna are the defining characteristics of a true guru, whereas a false guru is likened to a barren cow that can't provide spiritual nourishment.
The conclusion is that aspiring devotees should seek out a qualified guru to attain spiritual perfection and realize their eternal relationship with Shri Krishna. The Guruvastakam, a collection of eight prayers devoted to the guru, is suggested for in-depth analysis due to the fundamental truths it contains about the guru's enigma.

You Can Choose Your Own Body
www.prabhupadaharinam.org
According to Srila Prabhupada, every planet has its own time calculation based on the body. Earth, Water, Fire, Air, and Ether are the five elements that make up the material world, with each planet emphasizing a specific one.
According to Srila Prabhupada, our next body is determined by our desires and actions, which we have the power to choose. It's possible to have a body like Lord Krishna's if we desire it. Krishna Consciousness provides the chance for a blissful, eternal, and knowledgeable body.
We can attain the divine abode of Goloka Vrindavan by recognizing ourselves as eternal servants of Lord Krishna and freeing ourselves from Maya's influence.
We have the power to choose. Let’s make the right one. Hare Krishna!

Those who can’t escape the cycle of birth and death shouldn't take roles such as spiritual master
www.prabhupadaharinam.org
I am sharing my first audio on Guru Tattva. In 1977, 11 disciples declared themselves as the successors of Srila Prabhupada after his departure. They ignored the advice of their godbrothers and acted as gurus despite being warned about their lack of self-realization. It took two decades for them to apologize for ignoring Pradyumna Prabhu's advice. However, the system of appointing gurus remains in place within society, leading to numerous instances of these gurus falling down. I will share two conversations from the audio where Srila Prabhupada talks about hypocritical gurus he referred to as frauds. In the first conversation, priests seeking treatment for intoxication habits are criticized for their hypocrisy. In the second conversation, the focus is on the necessity of spiritual masters being self-realized and following scripture. Srila Prabhupada warns about the danger of being fooled by fake gurus. Understanding the significance of Guru Ashtakam prayers is vital to identify a true spiritual master's ability to liberate one from the cycle of birth and death. To save others, a guru must be free from repeated birth and death. A spiritual master must have self-realization first. Refusing fake gurus is not Vaishnava aparadha because they are not real gurus but only instructors. Before accepting a spiritual master, it is advised to study and evaluate them thoroughly.

Within a couple of days I was able to chant 64 rounds
www.prabhupadaharinam.org
In '22, I joined up with the Hare Krishna movement and started chanting the Lord's names on my own. A devoted friend helped me get in touch with one of guruji's devotees, who then got me in touch with guruji. With guruji's blessing, I could chant 64 rounds and I upped the number because of his guidance. Chanting with a pure devotee makes it easier and more effective than me doing it alone. While living with guruji, I saw he stuck to his spiritual practices, like going to bed early, getting up at 2 am, and doing yoga postures and pranayama to stay in shape. Guruji said it's important to do your best, no matter how many rounds you can chant, cuz Krishna can take you back to Godhead with His mercy. Srila Prabhupada told his disciples, and those he got into Krishna consciousness to chant 16 rounds, but it's good to check in with a bona fide spiritual master for what's best for you.

Reviving Varnashrama: Creating a Respectful, Responsible, and Strong Brahmana Group
www.prabhupadaharinam.org
This talk between Srila AC Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada and the mayor of Illinois Chicago happened on July 4, 1975. The mayor raised an issue of serious crime in the US, and Srila Prabhupada said the real problem was a lack of education in creating top-notch people. He said that tech knowledge, like IT, is low-level education because it leads to getting a job in some industry, which is the Sudra class. The aim of life is to realize God, and people are missing this aim by thinking that being rich, famous, educated, and beautiful is the goal. The end of knowledge is to know the original source of everything, and Western society is lacking in this knowledge. There are three qualities: goodness, passion, and ignorance, and the goal is to cultivate goodness. The Brahmanas are the most elevated class, and they possess qualities such as tranquillity, self-control, austerity, cleanliness, tolerance, truthfulness, knowledge, wisdom, and piety. The Kshatriyas are the second class and possess qualities such as bravery, power, firmness, resourcefulness, benevolence, and authority. The Vaisyas form the third division of society and farm, cow protection and business, whereas the Sudras make up the fourth and provide labor to the other classes while existing in the mode of ignorance. The objective is to form first and second-class citizens, who can provide sound counsel to the governing class and turn into excellent administrators and politicians.

The Importance of Knowing Shri Vishnu as the Super Soul in Everyone's Heart
www.prabhupadaharinam.org
It is more sinful to criticize a Vaishnava devotee than to offend a regular living being. The Vedas state that worshiping the deities without showing love and respect to devotees or having compassion for others is not a pure form of devotion. Those who are not spiritually strong reject certain forms of the Supreme Lord and treat them differently. We describe such people in the scriptures as impure and in the lowest position.

Therefore I humbly apologize to all of you for I shall not teach anymore I give you complete freedom to go to anyone that you wish and study under him. To tell you the truth I cannot speak about anything other than Lord Krishna His Name and His pastimes, therefore it will be not possible for me to teach you anymore in this condition.

Hindu Dharma is not found in any Vedic literature
www.prabhupadaharinam.org
Our real Dharma is varnashrama Dharma.
Krishna says that the varnashrama Dharma was created by Him with the aim of getting ultimate salvation. Human life is meant for salvation, that is, to get rid of repeated birth and death. Varnashrama Dharma is the four divisions of the social order which is determined by the modes of material nature one has acquired.

Pure devotional service is rarely achieved even though it has so many advantages. Pure devotional service can only be achieved by the mercy of a pure devotee, otherwise it's not possible.
If you achieve pure devotional service you become free of all obligations.
Accept Krishna's lotus feet giving up everything then you will no longer be indebted. Pure devotional service can be achieved by your intense desire and Krishna will help you by giving you the proper intelligence on how to approach Him.

Scholars misinterpreted the words of Krishna and they do not allow Krishna to speak for Himself
www.prabhupadaharinam.org
Bhagavad gita is the most authorized scriptures in Vedic literature. It is called apaurusheya, without defects. It is the summary study of the Vedanta-sutra. Vedanta-sutra is the cream of the Vedas and Krishna says in the Bhagavad gita, chapter 15, text 15: "By all the Vedas I am to be known, indeed I am the compiler of the Vedanta and I am the Knower of the Vedas."
In Kali Yuga we don't live very long as in the previous ages. Therefore the Bhagavad Gita is essential for us. One can only understand Bhagavad-gita if one is submissive. But if you think you are a great scholar or philosopher and know more than Krishna there is no possibility of you understanding this great literature.

They helped me to reach to chant 64 rounds in less than one month
www.prabhupadaharinam.org
My name is Raya Ramananda das. First of all I want to offer my unlimited
obeisances to the lotus feet of my Gurupadpadma padma, Srila Bhaktivedanta Narayana
Goswami Maharaja and to the lotus feet of Srila Dharmavira Prabhu.
Actually I came in Krishna consciousness back
in 2014 when I was in Iskcon. And gradually with the mercy of the Vaishnavas
I had a great fortune to associate with the shuddha sadhus although I associated with sadhus
but only for very small time.
It means that we don't get a chance to get a proper training how to practice the devotional principles which are learning from the shastras
in theoretical sense, although we were knowing that we had to chant purely and we had to chant the one lakh harinam daily as per the standards said by Caitanya Mahaprabhu. So we are knowing all these things theoretically but we don't know that how to practice it practically in our lives.
So back in 2020 I came across a Facebook profile of Srila Dharmavira Prabhu where there were many testimonials of many devotees who were chanting so amazingly and daily more than one lakh harinama, 64 rounds. So being inspired from the testimonials I contacted Srila Dharmavir Prabhu and with his transcendental blessings in less than a month and under the training of Sri Krsna das prabhu, his shiksha disciple, they helped me to reach to chant 64 rounds in less than one month.
So all these blessings is due to the the transcendental
effect, the transcendental mercy of Srila Dharmavira Prabhu. So this shows that he is the suddha sadhu, actually the one who can be able to transmit the real spiritual energy and spiritual strength
is the manifestation of Nityananda Prabhu because Nityananda Prabhu is the basis of
spiritual energy, means bala, strength, so one can be able to directly feel the mercy of
the Krishna flowing through your heart and which inspires us to chant constantly.
So this is my humble obeisances on this auspicious
day of Guru Purnima to the lotus feet of Srila Dharmaivr Prabhu as a small offering to his lotus feet.
Hare Krishna!
Dandavat pranam.

My talk is based on the Jaiva Dharma written by Srila Bhakativinod Thakura. This is regarded as one of the precious jewels given by our param guru Srila Bhakativinod Thakur. He says, serveKṛṣṇa by transforming your household intoKṛṣṇa household.
My advice is that one should hear from a person that is practicing what he preaches. If one cannot control his eating, then one would not be able to control his genitals. If one cannot control his genitals, worship ofKṛṣṇa is impossible.

Most People Are Not Successful Because They Are Not Clear On What They Want
www.prabhupadaharinam.org
Motivational Talk by naam ācārya Dharmavira Das Prabhu from Radhakund, India.
People do not take consistent action and develop this in their nervous system. To change the quality of your life. You must have desire and commitment. Anything you focus on, on a consistent basis, you will improve.
Whatever we focus on continually, we tend to manifest in our lives.
You have to know what is working for you and you need to make the changes if necessary.
The biggest trap that prevents people from taking action is fear of failure, fear of rejection, fear of pain and fear of the unknown. Failure or success is not overnight. Failure to give 100% creates failure. Most successful people fail more than anyone else.
Pay close attention to the results you are getting and keep making changes until you succeed. Our brain is the most powerful computer and has all the answers. What empowers you is not learning more, but taking action. The ultimate success is that you have to know what your desired outcome is
because clarity is power. When you know your desired outcome, you have empowered yourself.
Use it, take action, notice what you are getting from your action.

I managed to chant 64 Rounds just in 2 hours 10 minutes
https://www.prabhupadaharinam.org
Western Australia. I joined Iskcon Movement in the year 1999 and happily accepted Srila Prabhupada's instruction through his books and started my devotional life. I was lacking association of the devotees because of my working away from home. I'm civil engineer by profession and used to work in remote areas far away from the cities. Long hours of work and very hard to even get vegetarian food. Anyhow managed to continue 16 rounds daily. After my initiation in the year 2012, I tried to increase my rounds to minimum 64. But I wasn't regular.
And the only way to achieve this goal was to do chanting really fast in my daily busy schedule. This was my understanding that time. Then I realized that I couldn't hear the mantra properly due to excessive speed which i'm afraid is offense, naam-aparadha. And because of this offensive chanting my regularity fell apart. And I suffered having big numbers of rounds pending daily. And I was back to 16 rounds but with a feeling of guilt every day. Couldn't get proper guidance. With Dharmavira Prabhu's blessing, chanting 64 rounds become possible. And not impossible task at all as many claim.
By Dharmavira Prabhu blessings and regular guidance through whatsapp group I managed to do 64 rounds just in two hours 10 minutes. I felt that by chanting faster and try to hear every mantra same time is very effective to keep mind in control during japa. By blessings of Srila Dharmavira Prabhu, Maha-Mantra is swiftly flowing. I pay anantha-koti dandavads pranaams to his grace Srila Dharmavira Prabhu.Also we have got a special devotee Vraja...das prabhu.
And I was having great fortune to get his association.
Also getting guidance from Krishna Das Prabhu who is staying with Srila Dharmavira Prabhuin Radhakund
through Whatsapp. By mercy of Srila Gurudev and devotee association, chanting 64 rounds is possible.
