1. There is been so much stressed given in the books by Srila Prabhupada and what our great vaishnav leaders said about one must be tolerant and be humble like a blade of grass. But I don't understand till what we can be tolerant in this quarall age, be that person a devotee also.
For instance. If someone abuses us 100 times, won't we react at one point. If someone says anything wrong about our female person in a family, won't we react. If someone is taking you for granted again and again, won't we react. If someone torture us mentally, won't we react. If someone harass us sexually, won't be react.
2. Why can't we drink normal tea and coffee. Its getting difficult for me to accept all rules and regulations by Iskcon. Sometimes I feel like I should leave bhakti and live a materialistic life again.
If one person follows 4 main rules and regulations, chant 16 rounds, have faith in Krishna deeply but have some desires for themselves like watching movies, listening music, exploring every parts of world, going for adventures. Whats wrong in it. Not everyone can become monk and renounce everything.
One should tolerate till the extent his consciousness doesnt get consumed/ polluted by the aggressor. One should try to remember Krsna at the time of injustice. If our consciousness suffers such that we are not able to render devotional service, then one should remove oneself from the scene.
Regarding tea, coffee, movies, music etc - one should try to avoid. Tea coffee is part of 4 regulative principles. That has to be forcefully avoided, even if one has desire. Then only one can make any progress. Its all in the mind prabhuji. If we decide that it should not affect us, it wont.
Movies and music is a natural consequence of chanting attentively. The more we advance spiritually, the more we lose taste for material things. This we will see manifesting in ourselves if we chant properly.
Regarding injustice to women or animals, why is it that the moment something is going wrong, we put it on God. It is His duty to ensure that everything goes on properly in this world, our job is only to find His faults. Be the change you want to see. God has given us intelligence and resources. Think what YOU can do to ensure safety for both and start taking baby steps towards it.
The thing to understand is - this material world is dukhalayam ashashwatam - temporary and full of miseries. These cannot be avoided. Like we cannot separate heat and light from fire, we cannot separate these 2 from material world. So better to get out of here, we dont belong here anyways. Let us do enough to go back home, back to Godhead.
It is not favourable towards Krsna Consciousness. If you can't follow it immediately, then trying to follow artificially will result in snapping back to old ways. The solution is to give up slowly and sustainably and it is possible only with blessings of devotees. Till then understand that it is your inability or shortcoming of follow such regulative principles and pray to Krsna to give you strength to give up auch unfavourable things. Chanting Hare Krsna maha mantra is very powerful.
If one person follows 4 main rules and regulations, chant 16 rounds, have faith in Krishna deeply but have some desires for themselves like watching movies, listening music, exploring every parts of world, going for adventures. Whats wrong in it.
By the mercy of Lord Chaitanya we have the opportunity to escape this material world and reach spiritual world. Nothing wrong in being in material world and continuing to practice spiritual life. But it will be painful and miserable.
Practice of Bhakti was never easy. It is simple but not easy. There are two aspects need to succeed in bhakti - Krsna's mercy and our endeavour. If someone has felt bhakti in the past was easy, then it was due to mercy of Lord Chaitanya. If someone is feeling bhakti is difficult then it is time to endeavour. It will become more and more difficult unless we endeavour. Association of devotees makes it easy. Keeping life simple which gives us time to practice makes it feasible. Many times we complicate our own lives unnecessarily, which can be avoided.
Q1: if someone drinks normal tea (which have nicotine) or normal coffee (which have caffeine) and says Krishna I love you, chants regularly, keeps devotee association, pray to Krishna daily and read scriptures. Then won't Krishna will accept him as a devotee or won't that person will be liberated after their death?
Q2. If someone eats food with garlic and onion, and don't eat non veg and don't eat egg but still say Krishna I love you. Then won't Krishna will accept him as his devotee? Or will that person can't get liberated?
Basically I want to say that not everyone can become a monk or saadhvi. People like you, me or any beginner towards KC who has faith in Krishna but do have some materialistic desires in them, not our of lust. Then can't they enjoy their life and connect everything with Krishna even if the activities are materialistic?
If someone eats food with garlic and onion, and don't eat non veg and don't eat egg but still say Krishna I love you. Then won't Krishna will accept him as his devotee? Or will that person can't get liberated?
Just saying Krsna I love you is very easy. Almost anyone can say it. But that is not the criteria for going back home back to godhead. Criteria for Going back to godhead is to love Krsna to such an extent that one is willing to give up everything in the material world and the material world itself and surrender to Krsna.
Whatever you are saying - tea coffee onion garlic materialistic music movies exploring world etc are all not Krsna or they are maya. When love for Krsna arises these things will disappear from heart.
Dhruva maharaj seriously wanted a large kingdom. Bali maharaj wanted to conquer heavens. Ajamila wanted to enjoy family life even at time of death. Gajendra was enjoying his good life. All these devotees pleased Krsna and perfected their lives by surrendering to Krsna when the time and opportunity came. Krsna purified them and from their side they allowed Krsna to purify themselves by surrendering them. Without such purification one cannot be liberated or go back to godhead. Some way of other one needs to be purified of all material contamination/ desires . Liberation is liberation from material desires.
If someone is attched to even a single material desire and chooses their material desire over Krsna then they cannot be liberated. They have to be purified of all contamination to be liberated. But Krsna in the form of Holy name will purify anyone who is willing to be purified. We must be willing to undergo the purification. Krsna has given us everything that is needed to reach Him. Now the ball is in our court. We need to decide what we want to do and where we want to be.
Lord krishna knows past, present and future of the person. The Person who can give life has only has the power to take life. Our every activity is selfish. We don't do any work without seflish interest.
Yes., Hiranyakashyap is a greatest devotee of Lord he was dwarpal of Vaikunta fallen down from such a great position. ( Jaya Vijaya ) two dwarpals/ gate keepers of Vaikunta did a mistake of not letting in Sanat kumaras so they were cursed ..But they request Lord that every life time they want to die in Lord's hands ( 3 janams) and get quickly back to their position. Instead of 6 janams being devotees. As per the request they were born in one life time as Hiranyaksha- Hiranyakashyap brothers. Ravana and Ahi Ravana/kumbakarma and Lastly Shishupal and Dantavaktra duo brothers.
Lord knows what was their actual position and how they fell down. What for they are abusing now .. only to get back to Vaikunta faster and serve Lord again as dwarpals sooner they opted to become enemies of Lord to die at Lord's hands and attain moksha fastest route.
That war had to happen Gita had to be delivered. Lord wants to teach the world something thru that and see even now we read Gita after 5000 plus years and that is why that major war had to happen so that people will remember forever. That injustice of any kind is not tolerarted. Lord didn't react and lose his control He only responded.
Lord Knows before hand itself this War was inevitable and in this war many demons and many kings who were supporting Duryodhana who were totally corrupted had been killed. That is why Its a war for justice for establishment of dharma. This war was not only for the sake of protecting Draupadi's modesty and takng revenge for not giving equal shares. This war is to show coming generations that this is going to happen if people become corrupted. That is why this war was chosen for delivary of Gita, which still we are reading and it will be forever this message of Lord.
Krishnastu Swayam Bhagwan. When Bhagwan comes down He will establish dharma for that sake only He comes down. His activities are not having any selfish interest. In this war.. Lord is not going to get any personal benefit. He just come down to re- establish dharma.
Lord will not find happiness in killing His own parts ( be it Kauravas or Pandavas) all belong to Lord. Lord is impartial in this aspect. He has no EGO so how can He feel sad or hurt or react to someone's abuses.
2. Its upto you. If you want to enjoy life and do bhakti also no one is stopping you. One can take as much time as they want. Leisurely go back to Godhead this life time itself or take 2-3 more life times. No one is punishing you.
3. If you want to enjoy music, movies and connect to Krishna with it. there is nothing wrong. But how do you connect is personal and it is your own journey to God. You can do whatever way you want to do reach out to Lord. It is your personal relationship with Lord. If material songs and movies are reminding you of Krishna then do that also whatever floats your boat.
Chant chant and keep chanting some day we all can be perfected. Let it take one life time or 10 life times. Unless we become perfected there is no going back to Godhead. Chanting only can remove all anarathas.
