Gotcha!! I am sure that all of you know by now that apara Ekadashi is happening today!! let's meditate on this srimad bhagavatan passages..

                                                                        

ŚB 1.19.34

सान्निध्यात्ते महायोगिन्पातकानि महान्त्यपि ।
सद्यो नश्यन्ति वै पुंसां विष्णोरिव सुरेतरा: ॥ ३४ ॥

sānnidhyāt te mahā-yogin
pātakāni mahānty api
sadyo naśyanti vai puṁsāṁ
viṣṇor iva suretarāḥ

Translation

Just as the atheist cannot remain in the presence of the Personality of Godhead, so also the invulnerable sins of a man are immediately vanquished in your presence, O saint! O great mystic!

Purport

There are two classes of human beings, namely the atheist and the devotee of the Lord. The devotee of the Lord, because of manifesting godly qualities, is called a demigod, whereas the atheist is called a demon. The demon cannot stand the presence of Viṣṇu, the Personality of Godhead. The demons are always busy in trying to vanquish the Personality of Godhead, but factually as soon as the Personality of Godhead appears, by either His transcendental name, form, attributes, pastimes, paraphernalia or variegatedness, the demon is at once vanquished. It is said that a ghost cannot remain as soon as the holy name of the Lord is chanted. The great saints and devotees of the Lord are in the list of His paraphernalia, and thus as soon as a saintly devotee is present, the ghostly sins are at once vanquished. That is the verdict of all Vedic literatures. One is recommended, therefore, to associate only with saintly devotees so that worldly demons and ghosts cannot exert their sinister influence.

                                                                     ŚB 1.19.35

अपि मे भगवान् प्रीत: कृष्ण: पाण्डुसुतप्रिय: ।
पैतृष्वसेयप्रीत्यर्थं तद्गोत्रस्यात्तबान्धव: ॥ ३५ ॥

api me bhagavān prītaḥ
kṛṣṇaḥ pāṇḍu-suta-priyaḥ
paitṛ-ṣvaseya-prīty-arthaṁ
tad-gotrasyātta-bāndhavaḥ

Synonyms

api — definitely; me — unto me; bhagavān — the Personality of Godhead; prītaḥ — pleased; kṛṣṇaḥ — the Lord; pāṇḍu-suta — the sons of King Pāṇḍu; priyaḥ — dear; paitṛ — in relation with the father; svaseya — the sons of the sister; prīti — satisfaction; artham — in the matter of; tat — their; gotrasya — of the descendant; ātta — accepted; bāndhavaḥ — as a friend.

Translation

Lord Kṛṣṇa, the Personality of Godhead, who is very dear to the sons of King Pāṇḍu, has accepted me as one of those relatives just to please His great cousins and brothers.

Purport

A pure and exclusive devotee of the Lord serves his family interest more dexterously than others, who are attached to illusory family affairs. Generally people are attached to family matters, and the whole economic impetus of human society is moving under the influence of family affection. Such deluded persons have no information that one can render better service to the family by becoming a devotee of the Lord. The Lord gives special protection to the family members and descendants of a devotee, even though such members are themselves nondevotees! Mahārāja Prahlāda was a great devotee of the Lord, but his father, Hiraṇyakaśipu, was a great atheist and declared enemy of the Lord. But despite all this, Hiraṇyakaśipu was awarded salvation due to his being the father of Mahārāja Prahlāda. The Lord is so kind that he gives all protection to the family members of His devotee, and thus the devotee has no need to bother about his family members, even if one leaves such family members aside to discharge devotional service. Mahārāja Yudhiṣṭhira and his brothers were the sons of Kuntī, the paternal aunt of Lord Kṛṣṇa, and Mahārāja Parīkṣit admits the patronage of Lord Kṛṣṇa because of his being the only grandson of the great Pāṇḍavas.

ŚB 1.19.36

अन्यथा तेऽव्यक्तगतेर्दर्शनं न: कथं नृणाम् ।
नितरां म्रियमाणानां संसिद्धस्य वनीयस: ॥ ३६ ॥

anyathā te ’vyakta-gater
darśanaṁ naḥ kathaṁ nṛṇām
nitarāṁ mriyamāṇānāṁ
saṁsiddhasya vanīyasaḥ

Synonyms

anyathā — otherwise; te — your; avyakta-gateḥ — of one whose movements are invisible; darśanam — meeting; naḥ — for us; katham — how; nṛṇām — of the people; nitarām — specifically; mriyamāṇānām — of those who are about to die; saṁsiddhasya — of one who is all-perfect; vanīyasaḥ — voluntary appearance.

Translation

Otherwise [without being inspired by Lord Kṛṣṇa] how is it that you have voluntarily appeared here, though you are moving incognito to the common man and are not visible to us who are on the verge of death?

Purport

The great sage Śukadeva Gosvāmī was certainly inspired by Lord Kṛṣṇa to appear voluntarily before Mahārāja Parīkṣit, the great devotee of the Lord, just to give him the teachings of Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam. One can achieve the nucleus of the devotional service of the Lord by the mercy of the spiritual master and the Personality of Godhead. The spiritual master is the manifested representative of the Lord to help one achieve ultimate success. One who is not authorized by the Lord cannot become a spiritual master. Śrīla Śukadeva Gosvāmī is an authorized spiritual master, and thus he was inspired by the Lord to appear before Mahārāja Parīkṣit and instruct him in the teachings of Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam. One can achieve the ultimate success of going back to Godhead if he is favored by the Lord’s sending His true representative. As soon as a true representative of the Lord is met by a devotee of the Lord, the devotee is assured a guarantee for going back to Godhead just after leaving the present body. This, however, depends on the sincerity of the devotee himself. The Lord is seated in the heart of all living beings, and thus he knows very well the movements of all individual persons. As soon as the Lord finds that a particular soul is very eager to go back to Godhead, the Lord at once sends His bona fide representative. The sincere devotee is thus assured by the Lord of going back to Godhead. The conclusion is that to get the assistance and help of a bona fide spiritual master means to receive the direct help of the Lord Himself.

ŚB 1.19.37

अत: पृच्छामि संसिद्धिं योगिनां परमं गुरुम् ।
पुरुषस्येह यत्कार्यं म्रियमाणस्य सर्वथा ॥ ३७ ॥

ataḥ pṛcchāmi saṁsiddhiṁ
yogināṁ paramaṁ gurum
puruṣasyeha yat kāryaṁ
mriyamāṇasya sarvathā

Synonyms

ataḥ — therefore; pṛcchāmi — beg to inquire; saṁsiddhim — the way of perfection; yoginām — of the saints; paramam — the supreme; gurum — the spiritual master; puruṣasya — of a person; iha — in this life; yat — whatever; kāryam — duty; mriyamāṇasya — of one who is going to die; sarvathā — in every way.

Translation

You are the spiritual master of great saints and devotees. I am therefore begging you to show the way of perfection for all persons, and especially for one who is about to die.

Purport

Unless one is perfectly anxious to inquire about the way of perfection, there is no necessity of approaching a spiritual master. A spiritual master is not a kind of decoration for a householder. Generally a fashionable materialist engages a so-called spiritual master without any profit. The pseudo spiritual master flatters the so-called disciple, and thereby both the master and his ward go to hell without a doubt. Mahārāja Parīkṣit is the right type of disciple because he puts forward questions vital to the interest of all men, particularly for the dying men. The question put forward by Mahārāja Parīkṣit is the basic principle of the complete thesis of Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam. Now let us see how intelligently the great

ŚB 1.19.38

यच्छ्रोतव्यमथो जप्यं यत्कर्तव्यं नृभि: प्रभो ।
स्मर्तव्यं भजनीयं वा ब्रूहि यद्वा विपर्ययम् ॥ ३८ ॥

yac chrotavyam atho japyaṁ
yat kartavyaṁ nṛbhiḥ prabho
smartavyaṁ bhajanīyaṁ vā
brūhi yad vā viparyayam

Synonyms

yat — whatever; śrotavyam — worth hearing; atho — thereof; japyam — chanted; yat — what also; kartavyam — executed; nṛbhiḥ — by the people in general; prabho — O master; smartavyam — that which is remembered; bhajanīyam — worshipable; vā — either; brūhi — please explain; yad vā — what it may be; viparyayam — against the principle.

Translation

Please let me know what a man should hear, chant, remember and worship, and also what he should not do. Please explain all this to me.

ŚB 1.19.39

नूनं भगवतो ब्रह्मन् गृहेषु गृहमेधिनाम् ।
न लक्ष्यते ह्यवस्थानमपि गोदोहनं क्‍वचित् ॥ ३९ ॥

nūnaṁ bhagavato brahman
gṛheṣu gṛha-medhinām
na lakṣyate hy avasthānam
api go-dohanaṁ kvacit

Synonyms

nūnam — because; bhagavataḥ — of you, who are powerful; brahman — O brāhmaṇa; gṛheṣu — in the houses; gṛha-medhinām — of the householders; na — not; lakṣyate — are seen; hi — exactly; avasthānam — staying in; api — even; go-dohanam — milking the cow; kvacit — rarely.

Translation

O powerful brāhmaṇa, it is said that you hardly stay in the houses of men long enough to milk a cow.

Purport

Saints and sages in the renounced order of life go to the houses of the householders at the time they milk the cows, early in the morning, and ask some quantity of milk for subsistence. A pound of milk fresh from the milk bag of a cow is sufficient to feed an adult with all vitamin values, and therefore saints and sages live only on milk. Even the poorest of the householders keep at least ten cows, each delivering twelve to twenty quarts of milk, and therefore no one hesitates to spare a few pounds of milk for the mendicants. It is the duty of householders to maintain the saints and sages, like the children. So a saint like Śukadeva Gosvāmī would hardly stay at the house of a householder for more than five minutes in the morning. In other words, such saints are very rarely seen in the houses of householders, and Mahārāja Parīkṣit therefore prayed to him to instruct him as soon as possible. The householders also should be intelligent enough to get some transcendental information from visiting sages. The householder should not foolishly ask a saint to deliver what is available in the market. That should be the reciprocal relation between the saints and the householders.

Translation

Śrī Sūta Gosvāmī said: The King thus spoke and questioned the sage, using sweet language. Then the great and powerful personality, the son of Vyāsadeva, who knew the principles of religion, began his reply.

Purport

Thus end the Bhaktivedanta purports of the First Canto, Nineteenth Chapter, of the Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam, entitled “The Appearance of Śukadeva Gosvāmī.”

Jai! Sri! Krsna!

Mohini Ekadashi has begun...let's meditate on this passage from the srimad bhagavatan 1.18.47 Maharaj Parikshit Cursed By A Brahmin Boy

It is evident that the current male Bramanan Society of all religions does not believe in reincarnation otherwise,  they would not abuse and discriminate women the way that they have done so for centuries. rather, this men would spend their entire devotional lives making sure that laws were created to protect women in every country from financial, physical, emotional and spiritual assault, in order to please the Lord. It is evident that this  male Bramanan people feel that they are immune from karmic retribution and that the Lord has given them protection to support and allow the abuse of  little girls, young girls, adult women, elderly women with the assistance of the military.

It is a blessing that since the time of Maharaja Pariksit the Bramin cast became impotent after Srngi the Brahmana boy ignorantly cursed the pious wonderful king   because otherwise we would be in a worst situation that we are in right now considering the mess that we have created collectively by not obeying the Lord's mandates and abusing the sacred knowledge and mystical gifts that the Lord gave us in order for us to become super rich in the spiritual world and instead we have abused the Lord's sacred knowledge and have continued to materialized violence against the earth, women, children, men, and lower animals such as cows and bulls  as a normal way of life that is celebrated, rewarded and taught repeatedly in most if not all educational institutions in every country on this earth planet. 

Let me elaborate about the impotency of Brahmana cast/Scientist,  during the time of Maharaja Pariksit,  women were also part of the Brahmana cast/scientists .  The Brahmana cast/scientist   maintained continuous contact with  with the civilizations that are our divine eternal  family who reside in the vikunta planets ; the vikuntha planets are beyond the material universes, that includes the planets in a solar system such as  the Sun, the earth, planet (Surya), the moon,  Venus, Mercury, Saturn, Uranus,  Neptune, Jupiter, Mars,  the Pleiades, Sirus, Ketu, Rahu at their lotus feet  and every star that you see in the night sky and more . Know for a fact,  that if you place a grain of sand in the palm of your hand, that is the size of all material universes on Lord Krsna, your creator's hand. Most of us who will make it to the Vikuntha planets the spiritual world, will not be traveling there in a spaceship and we will not be returning to this reality. 

During the time of Paritsit Maraja women were cared for and protected they were Not forced to become the objects of men's pleasures and abuse, at that time we the human race were still inter stellar;  the Brahmana cast/scientist possessed the sacred transcendental gifts of kindness, compassion and mercy for all people and in this way  our human civilization was collectively rich, very wealthy, not only in the materialistic sense but in the spiritual, mental, emotional sense.  

The Brahmana cast/Scientist were able to maintained entire environments pure  some of them were able to shift to another form at will in front of a  person, or travel to other star systems without the use of space crafts. Voyages in space crafts to other galaxies was a normal accurance and this voyages were available for all people, not just the current male  rich engineers, and  male business people and their perverse male scientist, and the male military buddies that control and manipulate all ways of communication for their personal pleasures that excludes the participation of everyone in the world that remain in the dark about the science of god and the reason why Lord Sri Krsna created human beings.

 Now, we just have a whole bunch male hoodlums dressed in robes and uniforms, some of this ignorant baffoons are dressed in civilian clothing giving authority to ignorant military men to continue to abuse women and to teach young boys to use women and abuse them condemning everyone in this civilization to commit spiritual suicide by forcing them to materialize violence against women  maintaining the vibration of this reality at the level of violent ignorant animals  and not human beings that are able to become super rich in the spiritual world.

 You have learned in some of the Srimad Bhagavatan pastimes of our Lord Krsna,  that even the Vaishnavans Bramins or Arcaryas derailed from their noble path by choosing to abuse women even until this day. This difunctional sadistic relationship between men and women has to end, this hatred and envy that men have towards women has to end, in order for this civilization to become rich in the spiritual world.

Currently, most of the  male Brahmana cast / Scientist  are more interested in protecting their  male self interest and their male devotees, rather than protecting and caring for their female devotees, some clergy continue to protect the interest of their rich male buddies who give them large donations who have perverse sexual appetites, men who have no problem creating all sorts of weapons and drugs to experiment on the ignorant people of the world who still think that the  people who are cast in talk shows are real people sharing their problems and that they are not coached to following a script by the producers behind the scenes. 

 Ignorant people who believe that a yogi, swami, maharani, nuns, monks, healers, priest, priestesses  spend their time having sex with the Sheitan , the Jinn, ghosts and Rakshasas and that this holy people are all witches. Ignorant people who think that sacred prasadan is black magic and is going to put a  spell on them . And, all of this malicious damaging programing has been created and shared by the male Clergy/Scientist and the military in order to decapitate god fearing people and sabotage their human evolution and continue to make everyone's life harder than it already is.

It has been the conscious  actions of the male Brahmana cast/ scientists  with the help of the military  that has allowed the age of Kali to continue to flourish and to become very successful at deteriorating every part of this civilization  by focusing in inflicting the most horrible spiritual, psychological and physical trauma into women's mind, body, and psychic, this very smart, well planned massive spiritual and emotional  decapitation of women that has been going on for centuries has set the stage for the current calamities and karmic retribution that afflict us. Srimati Rhadarani at her lotus feet is the divine partner of the Lord, she is the nourishing force of all creation, the Lord's potency and she represents all women the feminine aspect of the Lord, when one woman suffers all the world suffers. Let me be extremely clear, Lord Sri Krsna, adores women, and it is the role of men to protect women and care for women not to abuse them in any way shape or form. Currently, all god fearing religious women in this world are being held  against their will "hostage"  by this  male Bramanan people and the male military that forces  women to assimilate and support male violent sadistic perverse behavior in order to allow women to earn dignified salaries.

It is a fact that everything that is happening in this planet and in all other planets is part of the Lord's divine plan. It is understood that this reality is a perverse representation of the eternal reality that we experience when we reach the Vikuntha planets  and that the reason why we are here is because we are very problematic, and  we made very bad mistakes,  and most of us are convinced that we are the center of creation and that we are god like, and that there is no accountability for the actions that we choose to act out in this reality; however, it is also understood that the Lord has given spiritual amnesty to all people, women, children, men  who choose to follow his mandates and become super rich in the spiritual world. This spiritual Amnesty that is given by our Lord Sri Krsna, protects all god fearing people from being spiritually derailed and programmed into accepting violence as a way of life.

So, how can we relate the following Srimad Bhagavatan passage with the Mohini Ekadashi? You decide!

ŚB 1.18.47

अपापेषु स्वभृत्येषु बालेनापक्‍वबुद्धिना ।
पापं कृतं तद्भगवान् सर्वात्मा क्षन्तुमर्हति ॥ ४७ ॥

apāpeṣu sva-bhṛtyeṣu
bālenāpakva-buddhinā
pāpaṁ kṛtaṁ tad bhagavān
sarvātmā kṣantum arhati

Synonyms

apāpeṣu — unto one who is completely free from all sins; sva-bhṛtyeṣu — unto one who is subordinate and deserves to be protected; bālena — by a child; apakva — who is immature; buddhinā — by intelligence; pāpam — sinful act; kṛtam — has been done; tat bhagavān — therefore the Personality of Godhead; sarva-ātmā — who is all-pervading; kṣantum — just to pardon; arhati — deserve.

Translation

Then the ṛṣi prayed to the all-pervading Personality of Godhead to pardon his immature boy, who had no intelligence and who committed the great sin of cursing a person who was completely free from all sins, who was subordinate and who deserved to be protected.

Purport

Everyone is responsible for his own action, either pious or sinful. Ṛṣi Śamīka could foresee that his son had committed a great sin by cursing Mahārāja Parīkṣit, who deserved to be protected by the brāhmaṇas, for he was a pious ruler and completely free from all sins because of his being a first-class devotee of the Lord. When an offense is done unto the devotee of the Lord, it is very difficult to overcome the reaction. The brāhmaṇas, being at the head of the social orders, are meant to give protection to their subordinates and not to curse them. There are occasions when a brāhmaṇa may furiously curse a subordinate kṣatriya or vaiśya, etc., but in the case of Mahārāja Parīkṣit there were no grounds, as already explained. The foolish boy had done it out of sheer vanity in being a brāhmaṇa’s son, and thus he became liable to be punished by the law of God. The Lord never forgives a person who condemns His pure devotee. Therefore, by cursing a king the foolish Śṛṅgi had committed not only a sin but also the greatest offense. Therefore the ṛṣi could foresee that only the Supreme Personality of Godhead could save his boy from his sinful act. He therefore directly prayed for pardon from the Supreme Lord, who alone can undo a thing which is impossible to change. The appeal was made in the name of a foolish boy who had developed no intelligence at all.

A question may be raised herein that since it was the desire of the Lord that Parīkṣit Mahārāja be put into that awkward position so that he might be delivered from material existence, then why was a brāhmaṇa’s son made responsible for this offensive act? The answer is that the offensive act was performed by a child only so that he could be excused very easily, and thus the prayer of the father was accepted. But if the question is raised why the brāhmaṇa community as a whole was made responsible for allowing Kali into the world affairs, the answer is given in the Varāha Purāṇa that the demons who acted inimically toward the Personality of Godhead but were not killed by the Lord were allowed to take birth in the families of brāhmaṇas to take advantage of the Age of Kali. The all-merciful Lord gave them a chance to have their births in the families of pious brāhmaṇas so that they could progress toward salvation. But the demons, instead of utilizing the good opportunity, misused the brahminical culture due to being puffed up by vanity in becoming brāhmaṇas. The typical example is the son of Śamīka Ṛṣi, and all the foolish sons of brāhmaṇas are warned hereby not to become as foolish as Śṛṅgi and to be always on guard against the demoniac qualities which they had in their previous births. The foolish boy was, of course, excused by the Lord, but others, who may not have a father like Śamīka Ṛṣi, will be put into great difficulty if they misuse the advantages obtained by birth in a brāhmaṇa family.

Tonight at 8:30pm Mohani Ekadashi begins...

Last Minute snacks! Mohini Ekadashi begins -08:28 PM tomorrow 30th of April for the hardcore devotees who want go to the spiritual planets the Vikunthas far away from all material universes!

What anyone thinks or says about you does not matter! the only thing that matters is what "god" Lord Sri Krsna the supreme personality of godhead cause of all causes and all that is thinks about you and says about you! 

think about all the time you have wasted being programmed to believed that this reality is the only reality that matters, and that there is no "god"  and that we can go on behaving like monkeys and dogs in human bodies. This is a temporary reality, and once you let go of your physical vessel, you have a chance to never have to come back to this reality , and if you must come back again, follow emperor Parishit example, when he was ready to let go of his physical vessel, even a great honorable king like him, did not know whether or not he was going to make it to the Vikuntha planets so his request to the Lord, was to please if he must come back to this physical realm then he would really appreciate being born around someone who is devotee of the Lord.

Everything we do matters! everything! it really pays to stay in a place of integrity, it really pays to mean what you say, and to practice what you preach! It pays big time, to do your best to not hurt anyone or anything! like say for instance, if you don't have anything good to say about someone, don't say anything at all. And, if you must say something about someone make sure you are truthful and that the reason why you say something about someone is because you want to give your side of the story, not because you are attempting to compete with that person  in order to be innovating and popular. Remember the truth will set you free!

When you look at the sunrise and at the sunset know that you are looking at god, and that the sun planet is the home for other living entities who have families too, and they are very much part of our lives! When you look at the moon, know, that the moon is god, and that in the moon there also families who live there, and they are very much part of our lives! there are living entities in all the planets that you know of, and other planets that you don't know of,  the earth is god, and we are like tiny little ants with big egos crawling all over it making so many problems for ourselves and for all other entities who share this planet earth with us , Everything that you do right now will determine what your after life will be and where you will born again!

-Sri Krsna Chaitanya is My Lord and savior!

Jai! Sri! Krsna!
