Geeta - Upanishad - krishnam sarvam mama

SHRI NARAYANA DEVA ॐ

Svayambhuva Manu said:
"Within this universe, the Supreme Personality of Godhead in His Supersoul feature is present everywhere, wherever there are animate or inanimate beings. Therefore, one should accept only that which is allotted to him; one should not desire to infringe upon the property of others."~Srimad Bhagavatam 8.1.10

six basic mantra's for surrender - baratipura samsthana

Radhanath Swami [Official]

What is envy? Envy means, “I want to be seen as important and great” and if anyone is a threat to my own egoistic ideas, then there is negativity towards that person.

SIX BASIC GUIDELINES FOR SURRENDER

1.The first is that one should accept everything that is favorable for the discharge of devotional service, and one should be determined to accept the process.

2.The second is that one should give up everything that is unfavorable to the discharge of devotional service, and one should be determined to give it all up.

3.Thirdly, one should be convinced that only Krishna can protect him and should have full faith that the Lord will give that protection. An impersonalist thinks that his actual identity is in being one with Krishna, but a devotee does not destroy his identity in this way. He lives with full faith that Krishna will kindly protect him in all respects.

4.Fourthly, a devotee should always accept Krishna as his maintainer. Those who are interested in the fruits of activities generally expect protection from the demigods, but a devotee of Krishna does not look to any demigod for protection. He is fully convinced that Krishna will protect him from all unfavorable circumstances.

5.Fifth, a devotee is always conscious that his desires are not independent; unless Krishna fulfills them, they cannot be fulfilled.

6.Lastly, one should always think of himself as the most fallen among souls so that Krishna will take care of him.

This material world is certified by the Lord in Bhagavad-gita as a dangerous place full of calamities. Less intelligent persons prepare plans to adjust to those calamities without knowing that the nature of this place is itself full of calamities. They have no information of the abode of the Lord, which is full of bliss and without trace of calamity.The duty of the sane person, therefore, is to be undisturbed by worldly calamities which are sure to happen in all circumstances.

Akinchan Priya Das

When we remember to always have unflinching faith in the spiritual master and the message of Krishna, we are automatically freed from the attack of Maya.
In the material concept also everyone is trying to avoid
the onslaughts of Maya but without any success.
To the sincere devotee, however,
this ocean of Maya is easily crossed by the cool breeze of Krishna's Grace.

‎"For a relationship to be real and strong we have to focus by making the priority of our relationship that higher principle, not the temporary superficial reasons we like each other. We are here to help each other love God and so need to dive deep, below the surface of our emotions, mind and senses to the essence of life."

Service of Krishna is so nice that
one becomes enthusiastic to serve
more and more.

That is the nature of spiritual
service. It is your good fortune that you can serve Krishna in so many ways—
to work, to write, to speak, to paint,
to build— all of these talents must
be employed in Krishna's service.
That will make you perfect. We are so fortunate to be in this human form of life, and to have the opportunity and the capacity to serve Krishna,
and as there is very little time, we must do as much each day as we
possibly can to serve Krishna, and to become always engaged in thoughts and activities of Krishna.

Jai Shree Krishna :))

हमारे ऊपर अन्याय होता रहे और हम उसे सहते रहे , तो ऐसे सहनशीलता को नपुंसकता कहते हैं और ऐसे नपुंसक प्रवृत्ति के व्यक्ति प्रसंशा के नहीं अपितु निंदा के पात्र होते हैं , यह गीता का सार है ! अतः उठो अर्जुन और युद्ध के कृत संकल्प हो जाओ ! यही वर्तमान काल का नारा होना चाहिए तभी एक समृद्धशाली भारत की रचना संभव है !!

KALINGA MARDANA - Baratipura samsthana

HARE Krishna Hare Rama was tagged in Bhakti Srikrishnapremi's photo. — with Venkatesh Devasthan Temple Kathmandu and 12 others.

Once Krishna without Balarama but with his other playmates, went to the Yamuna, after wandering through the forest of Brindavan. As the cowherd boys and the cows and the calves were oppressed by the heat of the summer, they felt extremely thirsty. They drank the poisoned water of the Yamuna. They fell dead on the bank of Yamuna soon after they drank it. Sri Krishna revived them by a mere glance radiating forth the life-giving nectar. They regained their consciousness, got up from the edge of the water and began to look at one another in great astonishment. They came to know that they fell dead by drinking the poisonous water of the Yamuna and that Sri Krishna brought them back to life by his gracious looks.

Kaliya sought shelter in a deep pool of water in the Yamuna. Once upon a time Garuda caught a fish in that pool of water and was about to eat it. Rishi Soubhari said, "O Garuda! Do not eat this fish." Garuda did not pay any attention to the words of the Rishi. The wailings of the other fishes touched the heart of the Rishi. In order to save the fishes, the Rishi pronounced a curse on Garuda that he would die if he entered that pool any more. Kaliya knew about this. Therefore he sought shelter in that pool of water with his family.

Sri Krishna noticed that the most venomous snake had rendered the water of the Yamuna poisonous. He wanted to expel the serpent from the river in order to purify the water. Sri Krishna tightened His girdle, climbed a lofty Kadamba tree, and jumped into the pool of water. The serpent fiercely attacked Krishna and stung Him in His vital parts. It completely enclosed Him in its coils. The cows wept and the Gopa boys became senseless. Nanda and other Gopas came out in search of Krishna. They saw Him in the grasp of the powerful serpent and wept bitterly.

Sri Krishna extricated Himself from the clutches of the serpent. He began to sport with it. He got upon its hoods and danced upon them. It had one thousand hoods, one hundred being the chief. The serpent vomited blood. Sri Krishna trampled down with His feet each one of the hoods. The body of the serpent was shattered. The serpent sought the protection of the Lord. The wives of the serpent praised Krishna and prayed for their husband's life. The Lord stopped His dance. Kaliya slowly recovered consciousness.

Krishna told Kaliya to go to the sea immediately with all your kith and kin and, wives and let the water of the Yamuna be used by the cows and men. Now, as kaliya's hoods bore the marks of Lord's feet, he had no fear of Garuda Thereupon Kaliya proceeded to the Ramanaka island in the sea with his wives, friends and children. The waters of the Yamuna then turned as sweet as nectar itself.

kumbhmela 2013 - From iskon website why this is special ? at baratipura samsthana

is held in Allahabad every 12 years. It also takes place in three other holy places in India every 12 years— Haridwar, Ujjain and iskcon kumbh mela

Nasik. The time for Kumbh Mela is judged by the astrological positions of Jupiter and the Sun. In Prayag (Allahabad) the Kumbh Mela takes place during January-February, when Jupiter is in Taurus and the Sun enters Capricorn. The Kumbh Mela in Prayag (Allahabad) is considered especially auspicious. This very interesting event draws about 15 million people and is the largest attended event in the world.

A huge temporary city is created for the millions of pilgrims that arrive for the most auspicious bathing days. Kumbh Mela is like a Yogi Convention, where yogis, sadhus (saints), holy people, and pilgrims come from all over India. Many sadhus come from various holy places, the most remote forests, and mountain caves in the Himalayas. The most famous are the Naga Babas, who are completely naked. They cover their bodies only with ash and wear their hair in dreadlocks.

It is said that if one bathes at the Sangam of the Ganges, Yamuna and underground Saraswati on one of the main bathing days during Kumbh Mela that one attains liberation. In the Vishnu Purana it says that one get a great benefit from bathing during Kumbh Mela than performing 1,000 Ashwamedha Yajnas (horse sacrifices) or circumambulating the earth 100,000 times. It is said that by bathing at Kumbh Mela that all a person’s sins are washed away and iskcon kumbh mela

that 88 generations of ancestors are benefited.

The main bathing days are known as Shahi Snans or Royal Bathing Days. The main bathing day, when the most people come, is on the Mauni Amavasya day (the dark moon). The next main day or Shahi Snan is said to be on Vasant Panchami (fifth day of the new moon). Then on Bishmastami (eigth day of the new moon). For further details please check the When to Take Bath page.

"The Kumbha Mela is sat-sanga. If you go to Kumbha Mela to find out a man of knowledge, then your Kumbha Mela is right. Otherwise, yad-buddhih salile sa eva go-kharah [SB 10.84.13]. If one thinks that this salila, the water, to take bath in the water, is Kumbha Mela, he is a go-kharah. But the real..., that "Now there are assembly of so many saintly persons. Let me take advantage of their knowledge." Then he is intelligent. [break] ...of highly learned saintly persons. People should take advantage."

llahabad is a major city in the North Indian state of Utt Anand bhavan

ar Pradesh in India. It is the administrative headquarters of the Allahabad District. Allahabad is the seventh most populous city in Uttar Pradesh. In 2011, it was ranked the world's 130th fastest growing city. Allahabad is also known as the "city of Prime ministers" because post independence 7 out of 13 prime minister of India belonged to ALLahabad. All these seven leaders were either born in Allahabad, were alumni of Allahabad University or got elected from a constituency in Allahabad.
The city's original name—Prayaga, or "place of sacrifice"—comes from its position at the sacred union of the rivers Ganges, Yamuna and Saraswati. It is the second-oldest city in India and plays a central role in the Hindu scriptures. The city contains many temples and palaces.
Allahabad is located in the southern part of Uttar Pradesh. It is bounded by Pratapgarh in the north, Bhadohi in the east, Rewa in the south and Kaushambi in the west. Its area is 63.07 km2 (24.35 sq mi). Allahabad contains many suburbs. While the city and surroundings are governed by several municipalities, a large portion of Allahabad District is governed by the Allahabad City Council. The demonym of Allahabad is Allahabadi.
Allahabad was originally founded as Kaushambi (now a separate district) by the Kuru rulers of Hastinapur, who developed it as their capital. Since then, Allahabad has often been the political/ cultural/ administrative head of the entire Doab area and beyond. First as Kaushambi, then as Prathisthanpur. Later, the Mughal emperor Akbar renamed Prayag as Allahabad in 1526 and made it a prominent administrative centre again.
History of Allahabad.
The city was known earlier as Prayag - a name that is still commonly used. Its age is illustrated by Vedic references to Prayag, where Brahma, the Creator of the Universe, is believed to hav

e attended a sacrificial ritual. Excavations have revealed Northern Black Polished Ware objects in Prayag, further corroborating the conjecture that Prayag existed as a town as early as 600 B.C. The Puranas record that Yayati left Prayag and conquered the region of Saptha Sindhu. His five sons Yadu, Druhyu, Puru, Anu and Turvashu became the main tribes of the Rigveda. Lord Rama, the main protagonist in the Ramayana, spent time at the Ashram of Sage Bharadwaj before proceeding to nearby Chitrakoot.
When the Aryans first settled in what they termed the Aryavarta (or Madhyadesha), Prayag (or Kaushambi) was an important part of their territory. The Kuru Kingdom, rulers of Hastinapur (near present day Delhi), established the town of Kaushambi near Prayag. They shifted their capital to Kaushambi when Hastinapur was destroyed by floods.
The Doaba region, including Prayag, was controlled by several empires and dynasties in the ages to come. The area became a part of the Mauryan and Gupta empires of the east and the Kushan empire of the west before becoming part of the local Kannauj Empire in 15th century. The city was the scene of Maratha incursions before colonial rule was imposed over India. In 1765, the British established a garrison at Allahabad fort.
Prayag became a p

art of the Delhi sultanate when the town was annexed by Mohammad Ghori in A.D. 1193. Later, the Mughals took over from the slave rulers of Delhi and under them Prayag rose to prominence. Akbar built a magnificent fort (viz. Allahabad fort), on the banks of the holy sangam and rechristened the town as Illahabad in 1575.
In 1765, the combined forces of the Nawab of Awadh and the Mughal emperor Shah Alam II lost the Battle of Buxar to the British. Although the British did not yet establish direct rule, they realized the strategic position of Prayag as the gateway to the northwest and established a garrison at the fort. In 1801, the Nawab of Awadh ceded the city to the British East India Company. Gradually the other parts of Doaba and adjoining region in its west (including Delhi and Ajmer-Mewara regions) were won by the British. The north western areas were made into a new Presidency called the "North Western Provinces of Agra", with their capital at Agra. Allahabad remained an important part of this state. In 1834, Allahabad became the seat of the Government of the Agra P

rovince, and a High Court was established—but a year later both were relocated to Agra. In 1857, Allahabad was active in the Indian Mutiny. After the mutiny, the British truncated the Delhi region of the state, merging it with Punjab, and transferred the capital of North West Provinces to Allahabad, where it remained for 20 years. Later, in 1877 the two provinces of Agra (NWPA) and Awadh were merged to form a new state which was called the United Provinces. Allahabad served as the capital of United Provinces until 1920.
During the 1857 mutiny, Allahabad had a significant presence of European troops. Maulvi Liaquat Ali freedom fighter of 1857, unfurled the banner of revolt. After the Mutiny was quelled, the British established the High Court, the Police Headquarters and the Public Service Commission in the city. This transformed Allahabad into an administrative centre.
The fourth session of the Indian National Congress was held in the city in 1888. By the turn of the century, Allahabad was a nodal point for the revolutionaries. The Karmyogi office of Sundar Lal in Chowk sparked patriotism among youth. Nityanand Chatterji became a household name when he hurled the first bomb at the European club. It was at Alfred Park in Allahabad where, in 1931, the revolutionary Chandrashekhar Azad killed himself when surrounded by the British Police. The Nehru family homes Anand Bhavan and Swaraj Bhavan were at the centre of the political activities of the Indian National Congress. In the years of the freedom struggle, Allahabad was home to thousands of satyagrahis, led, inter alii, by Purushottam Das Tandon, Bishambhar Nath Pande and Narayan Dutt Tiwari. The first seeds of the idea of Pakistan were sown in Allahabad. On 29 December 1930, Allama Muhammad Iqbal's presidential address to the All-India Muslim League proposed a separate Muslim state for the Muslim majority regions of India.
