Religions and Practices His Divine Grace Om Vishnupad
Do you have any questions? You can ask. I like you all, and you are all in my heart. Whatever condition you are in, whatever problem you have, I am always with you all. This is my promise. Question: I was brought up in Christian religion and now that I am following Vaishnavism, do I have to follow only Vaishnavism or both Christianity and Vaishnavism? No, no. We are not followers of Christianity, Vaishnavism, or anything other ism. We are jiva souls and we follow that which is the duty of the jiva soul. We preach only this. You chant the Holy Name because you are a jiva soul, and all jiva souls want to chant the Holy Name, but they have no power—trees, dogs, cats, they cannot chant, they can only stand silent or shout. People all over the world also shout or talk so much nonsense, but what is the duty of those who are fortunate? Their duty is to chant the Holy Name, and that is not Vaishnavism, Hinduism, Christianity, Buddhism, or any other ism. Devotee: I wanted to ask if you could give your blessings to me. May Krishna always bless you. Actually, if you get service, that is mercy. Gurudev said those who have no service, have no mercy, and those who no mercy have no service... Any other questions? Question: I would like to come to India. Good, everybody is always welcome. We need people here, but I know your family financial condition is very bad, that is why I am very afraid to tell you or Purujit Prabhu also to send people here. I know the plane fare costs too much money and it is also very difficult to get out of the country also, but if anybody is able to come, you are always welcome. Question: I went to the temple in Colombia recently and I want now to leave the country and live there. Do you live alone? What are you going to do there? Devotee: Yes, I live alone. I want to work there, help the devotees and send something to Parama Karuna. OK, but you must always keep connection with the Caracas temple. Anywhere you stay, you must always remember Gurudev, Guru Maharaj and Parama Karuna Nitai Gaurachandra. Always keep connection with the temple, do not forget this connection, that is the main thing. If you go to some place for service and stay there, it is not a problem, but if you stay somewhere alone for your own enjoyment, your own interest, that is not good. Question: I have heard that there is no difference between sannyasis, brahmacharis, grihasthas, but some devotees explain that there is difference. It is generally thought that grihasthas serve 50% and the brahmacharis who serve without any selfish interest serve 100%. If you read my book (Guidance 3), you can see there a chapter called 'Householders and Renuciates', then you can understand it. I am going to read only one-two words from it. I wrote there also about hell, renunciation, etc.
You can read this book later, it is coming out in Spanish language soon—the printing has already finished and now they are doing the binding. Get this book and read it every day. Jay Srila Guru Maharaj ki jay. I am always with you. Always remember Gurudev and Guru Maharaj, they will protect you all. I am thanking you all, muchos gracias.
Jay Om Vishnupad Jagad-Guru Srila Bhakti Sundar Govinda Dev-Goswami
Maharaj ki jay
