Srila Prabhupada Lila Reading Guide

Srila Prabhupada Lila Reading Guide
Forward
I started working on this reading guide over fifteen years ago simply because I felt enlivened to do it for my own
personal reading of Srila Prabhupada’s pastimes. After I had read many of the books about Srila Prabhupada
for a second or third time I found myself thinking, “Didn’t it say something about that pastime in another book?”
And I would pull out a different book and read about the same event or time period from a different perspective.
It was very enlivening so I started to compile an outline of my readings. Gradually it developed into the reading
guide we find here.
It is essential for the future of our Krishna consciousness movement that we study Srila Prabhupada's life very
scrutinizingly to insure that we understand his teachings, his mission and how to apply them practically and
properly as Srila Prabhupada did. Just understanding the philosophy is not sufficient. And that can only come
from reading, not only his books, but also the books about him.
In one sense, the guide is still a work in progress. I haven’t included everything that has been written about
Srila Prabhupada and I am sure there will be more to come. Especially recently, some of the earliest disciples
have written their memories and published books. Yet I felt that at some point I should just make it available as
it is. Perhaps the devotees will find it enlivening. I can only hope that Srila Prabhupada and Sri Caitanya
Mahaprabhu will be pleased by this humble endeavor to glorify a pure devotee of the Lord.

"The spiritual master is receiving benediction from the ocean of mercy. Just as a
cloud pours water on a forest fire to extinguish it, so the spiritual master
extinguishes the blazing fire of material existence. I offer my respectful
obeisances unto the lotus feet of such a spiritual master."
In Våndävana, during the month of Dämodara (October 1972), there was an initiation
ceremony held on the full-moon night of the räsa-lélä, at the Rädhä-Dämodara
temple. The Krishna Balaräma Mandir had barely been started at that time. After
the fire yajïa, the second initiates went into Çréla Prabhupäda's little room one
by one to receive their Gäyatré mantra. As I entered, I saw Çréla Prabhupäda
sitting at his low desk with his two beautiful lotus feet stretched out in front
of him. Bowing down to offer my obeisances, I took his lotus feet and placed them
firmly on my head. Then I sat up and Prabhupäda smiled and motioned for me to come
sit beside him. He draped the sacred thread over my shoulder, showed me the way to
chant on my fingers, and then chanted the mantra as I repeated each word after
him. He gave me no specific instructions, but simply said that I should ask the
older brähmaëas what to do. I wanted to say something to express some devotion,
some appreciation, some prayer; but no words came. My voice faltered; I was almost
crying. "O Çréla Prabhupäda! I am so fallen. I am such a rascal. Please forgive
me!" He smiled. "That's all right," he said, with a wave of his hand.

"Chanting the holy name, dancing in ecstasy, singing and playing musical
instruments, the spiritual master is always gladdened by the saìkértana movement
of Lord Caitanya Mahäprabhu. Because he is relishing the mellows of pure devotion
within his mind, sometimes his hair stands on end, he feels quivering in his body,
and tears flow from his eyes like waves. I offer my respectful obeisances unto the
lotus feet of such a spiritual master."
New York – July 1976

The kértana was uproarious as Prabhupäda entered the airport with the devotees. He
was leaving New York after their first, wonderful Ratha-yäträ. The kértana grew
more intense as he went through the security check. Hari Çauri, Guru däsa, and I
followed behind. In the waiting lounge, Çréla Prabhupäda took a seat and kindly
motioned for Guru däsa to sit next to him. A well-dressed man seated on
Prabhupäda's other side, noticing that there were others with Çréla Prabhupäda,
very politely moved to another seat. Prabhupäda again very kindly offered us a
seat, this time motioning toward me and Hari Çauri. I gently nudged Hari Çauri
toward the seat. He graciously offered it back to me. He was Prabhupäda's personal
servant; I nudged him again. He again graciously offered it back to me. I couldn't
resist. I sat down next to Çréla Prabhupäda. He looked very grave, almost sad.
Perhaps he knew that this had been his last trip to America. His eyes were
overflowing with tears of ecstatic love as he sat silently absorbed in his own
transcendental thoughts.
Not wanting to disturb him I also sat silently, but finally I couldn't resist the
opportunity to ask Srila Prabhupada a question that had been on my mind for some
2
time. Previously I had heard of some Bengali devotees chanting "sri krsna caitanya
prabhu nityananda - prabhu nityananda prabhu nityananda - nityananda nityananda
nityananda nityananda - sri krsna caitanya prabhu nityananda." So occassionally I
also chanted like that but was criticized by some devotees for not chanting the
full Panca Tattva mantra. Of course, in one sense they were right as Srila
Prabhupada instructs in the Caitanya-caritamrta to chant the full Panca Tattva
mantra. However, on occassion we do chant "nitai gauranga nitai gauranga - jai
sachinandana gaura hari." So I finally got up the nerve and said, "Srila
Prabhupada, sometimes the devotees chant 'sri krsna caitanya prabhu nityananda -
prabhu nityananda prabhu nityananda.' Is that all right?" Srila Prabhupada turned
to look at me and with his beautiful, deep transcendental voice said, "Yes."

"The spiritual master is always engaged in the temple worship of Çré Çré Rädhä and
Kåñëa. He also engages his disciples in such worship. They dress the Deities in
beautiful clothes and ornaments, clean Their temple, and perform other similar
worship of the Lord. I offer my respectful obeisances unto the lotus feet of such
a spiritual master."
Çréla Prabhupäda had come to Hyderabad for the first time (November 1972). We had
arranged a ten-day paëòäl festival, to be held at the fairgrounds. There was a
large, covered outdoor stage, where we put the altar for Çré Çré Rädhä-Mädhava
(Prabhupäda had had Them sent from Mäyäpur) and Lord Caitanya. In front of the
stage, on a lower level, a wooden platform had been built for Çréla Prabhupäda's
vyäsäsana and all the devotees. There was a severe drought at the time. It had not
rained in almost two years, so they didn't cover the platform.
After one of the evening programs, a teenage Indian boy spent the night with the
devotees. The next morning he entered Çréla Prabhupäda’s room along with the
initiated devotees and sat down close to Prabhupäda. As soon as Prabhupäda saw the
boy, he pointed to the door without saying a word. The boy also said nothing, but
got up and left. Çréla Prabhupäda then turned to one of the sannyäsés and said,
“First he must wash pots.” He explained that Bhaktisiddhänta Sarasvaté Öhäkura had
always first tested the sincerity of someone who wanted to join by asking him to
wash pots.
On the morning of the fourth day it began to rain. (Saìkértana yajïa ki jaya!) The
devotees moved Prabhupäda's vyäsäsana to a covered area so that he would be able
to give morning class. I had just finished dressing the Deities when Çréla
Prabhupäda arrived. Prabhupäda had been greeting the Deities from the wooden
stage, so since it was raining, I assumed that he would just go straight back to
where they had moved his vyäsäsana. But, determined to see the Deities, Prabhupäda
walked along the narrow parapet of the stage (as I looked on nervously) and
offered his daëòavats. Then the devotees led Çréla Prabhupäda to his vyäsäsana as
they had an ecstatic kértana.
Of course, I wanted to go hear Prabhupäda give class, but since I was the püjäré I
knew that it was my duty to stay with the Deities. Not a moment later, a devotee
came running down to the altar. "Prabhupäda wanted to make sure that someone was
with the Deities!" "It's okay," I said, "I'm here." I was totally amazed! Everyone
was chanting "Jaya Prabhupäda! Jaya Prabhupäda!" He was sitting on the vyäsäsana,
being offered all worship and praise, yet he was thinking, "Is anyone with the
Deities?" To Çréla Prabhupäda They weren't just brass statues. They were Çré Çré
Rädhä and Kåñëa Themselves.

"The spiritual master is always offering to Kåñëa four kinds of delicious food
(analyzed as that which is licked, chewed, drunk, and sucked). When the spiritual
master sees that the devotees are satisfied by eating bhagavat-prasädam, he is
satisfied. I offer my respectful obeisances unto the lotus feet of such a
spiritual master."
After the Hyderabad festival, Çréla Prabhupäda went to Bombay for a few days and
then onto Ahmedabad for another paëòäl program. Often, Prabhupäda would be invited
to someone's home for lunch. When there wasn't some service that needed to be
done, I would try to go along. One day, a small group of devotees accompanied
Çréla Prabhupäda for lunch, and I was able to join them. I decided that whatever
Prabhupäda would eat, I would eat also. Whatever he asked for more of, I would
too. Prabhupäda was eating nicely, especially the potato subji. I was actually
full just trying to keep up with him. When we were finished, I still had a puri on
my plate. Çréla Prabhupäda looked over at me and said, "Oh? You cannot finish?"
"Yes, Çréla Prabhupäda!" I quickly stuffed the puri into my mouth. Then, as he got
up and began to leave, we dove at his plate, which was full of mahä-mahä-prasädam!

"The spiritual master is always eager to hear and chant about the unlimited
conjugal pastimes of Rädhikä and Mädhava and Their qualities, names, and forms.
The spiritual master aspires to relish these at every moment. I offer my
respectful obeisances unto the lotus feet of such a spiritual master."
One night, at the Ahmedabad paëòäl program, Çréla Prabhupäda asked Malati devi
dasi to sing Jaya Rädhä-Mädhava. We were all very surprised, since there were many
sannyasis and brahmacärés present, and there were thousands of Indians in the
audience and of course Yamuna dasi was the one known for leading kirtans. She led
the chanting, as we, including Çréla Prabhupäda, followed. When Çréla Prabhupäda
chanted Jaya Rädhä-Mädhava, he would sing with such devotion that simply watching
him was a deep Kåñëa conscious experience. But we could see that whoever was
chanting, Prabhupäda was relishing the unlimited conjugal pastimes of Rädhikä and
Mädhava.

"The spiritual master is very dear because he is expert in assisting the gopés,
who at different times make different tasteful arrangements for the perfection of
Rädhä and Kåñëa's conjugal loving affairs within the groves of Våndävana. I offer
my most humble obeisances unto the lotus feet of such a spiritual master."
Çrutakérti and I were sitting there, taking prasädam with Çréla Prabhupäda,
reciting this verse and trying to get some understanding, some appreciation for
his inconceivably exalted position. I am still trying. But I am very dull, very
slow—müòha. Please excuse me, Çréla Prabhupäda, for my inability to serve you and
glorify you properly.

"The spiritual master is to be honored as much as the Supreme Lord because he is

the most confidential servitor of the Lord. This is acknowledged in all revealed
scriptures and followed by all authorities. Therefore I offer my respectful
obeisances unto the lotus feet of such a spiritual master, who is a bona fide
representative of Çré Hari [Kåñëa]."
At the airport in Ahmedabad, we had hung a huge "JAYA SRILA PRABHUPADA!" banner
from the top of the main terminal building. As Çréla Prabhupäda walked from the
plane to the waiting car, I pointed out the banner. Prabhupäda smiled. At the life
member's house where Çréla Prabhupäda was to stay, the devotees began to offer
ärati to Prabhupäda. I was surprised. Of course, when we offered anything to
Kåñëa, we first offered to Prabhupäda. But since guru-püjä had not been introduced
yet, I had never seen Çréla Prabhupäda worshiped on his own, as if he were God. As
I remembered this verse, I enthusiastically joined the kértana.
yasya prasädäd bhagavat-prasädo

yasyäprasädän na gatiù kuto ’pi
dhyäyan stuvaàs tasya yaças tri-sandhyaà
"By the mercy of the spiritual master one receives the benediction of Kåñëa.
Without the grace of the spiritual master, one cannot make any advancement.
Therefore, I should always remember and praise my spiritual master. At least three
times a day I should offer my respectful obeisances unto the lotus feet of my
spiritual master."
One morning in Våndävana, at the samädhi of Çréla Rüpa Gosvämé, at Çré Çré Rädhä-
Dämodara Mandira (it was October 1972 – Kåñëa-Balaräma Mandira was not even a
foundation), you read to us two newspaper clippings that you had just received.
One told about the preaching of Satsvarüpa Goswami and Hådayänanda Goswami in
Midwest America. The other said, “Kåñëa Message in South Africa.”
Then you told us, “So, by the grace of Lord Caitanya, the message of his Lordship
is going on nicely all over the world. You are also the members of the Society.
Try to preach this message, påthivéte äche yata nagarädi-gräma, and you’ll get the
strength the more you preach, because in the Bhagavad-gétä the Lord says, na ca
tasmän manuñyeñu kaçcin me priya-kåttamaù. Anyone who is preaching the message of
5
Lord Caitanya, Lord Kåñëa, the same thing, there is no difference. Kåñëa says
that: sarva-dharmän parityajya mäm ekaà çaraëaà vraja. This is Kåñëa’s message.
And Lord Caitanya says, yäre dekha täre kaha ‘kåñëa’-upadeça. So there is no
difference. Kåñëa’s upadeça is to everyone, that everyone should give up all
nonsense type of occupation. Our Kåñëa consciousness movement is preaching the
same as Lord Kåñëa said and as Lord Caitanya said. Lord Kåñëa said that you
surrender. He asked everyone, not only Arjuna. Through Arjuna He spoke to
everyone. He was preaching His own word through Arjuna. And Caitanya Mahäprabhu is
Kåñëa Himself. He is preaching the same message as a devotee. So our business is
to preach the same message through the mercy of Çré Caitanya Mahäprabhu. Çré
Caitanya Mahäprabhu says, yäre dekha, täre kaha ‘kåñëa’-upadeça. So if we follow
Caitanya Mahäprabhu, to follow Caitanya Mahäprabhu means to follow the six
Gosvämés. This is called paramparä system. Evaà paramparä-präptam imaà räjarñayo
viduù. If we follow the paramparä system, the same message that Kåñëa says, that
is also said by Caitanya Mahäprabhu, that is also said by the Gosvämés. Çré Rüpa
Gosvämé said, ‘Somehow or other, try to induce people to become Kåñëa conscious.’
This is Rüpa Gosvämé’s message. Where you are sitting, this is Rüpa Gosvämé’s
place. So Caitanya Mahäprabhu also says the same thing, yäre dekha, täre kaha
‘kåñëa’-upadeça. So these boys, they are preaching the same message, Kåñëa
message. In the paper, ‘Kåñëa Message in South Africa.’ ‘Kåñëa Message in South
Africa.’ This is very encouraging, that Kåñëa message is being spread as Caitanya
Mahäprabhu desired. This is very encouraging.
“So all of you, you follow and spread this message extensively. Simply you have
to, just like our little girl Sarasvaté, she also preaches. She goes to some
friend, she asks, ‘Do you know what is Kåñëa?’ If he says, ‘No, I do not know very
much,’ she says, ‘The Supreme Personality of Godhead.” That’s all. This is
preaching. It is not difficult. Simply just like a child, you go to everyone, talk
to everyone, that Kåñëa is the Supreme Personality of Godhead. That’s all.
Everyone can do it. It is not very difficult. You believe it. You be convinced on
the statement that Kåñëa is the Supreme Personality of Godhead.
“So you have taken the path of Caitanya Mahäprabhu. He will bless you if you
sincerely stick to His principle. Then by His grace you will be able to preach Hs
message. You follow the instructions of the Gosvämés, follow the path of Caitanya
Mahäprabhu and try to spread Kåñëa consciousness all over the world, and your life
will be glorified. Thank you very much.”
Dear Srila Prabhupada, just as Kåñëa drove Arjuna into battle, your words drive us
into the battle against mäyä. Just as Arjuna was successful because of Kåñëa, we
will be successful if we simply follow your words. When we are asleep, your words
awake us. When we are discouraged, your words encourage us. When we are sad, your
words console and cheer us. And most of all, your words plunge us forward, drag us
forward, force us forward. To hear you is strength. To hear you is life. May we
always hear you, Çréla Prabhupäda, until we can see you again, face to face.
"My Dear Srutadeva das,

Please accept my blessings. I am in due receipt of your weekly saìkértana
newsletters. I am always happy to hear of increasing book sales. These reports are
very encouraging to me. Our real business is to print and distribute books. By
doing this business, you are all becoming recognized by Kåñëa. Please try to
continue working so nicely for Kåñëa, following the rules and regulations,
chanting sixteen rounds, and studying the books, and you will finish your business
in this material world in this life and enter the spiritual world to live with
Kåñëa eternally. Don't become discouraged by any so-called problems. Make your
program simple, that is to say, always make sure that you are somehow or other
engaged in Kåñëa's service, and the best service is preaching or engaging others
in Kåñëa's service. So continue in this way and be happy.
Your ever well-wisher,
A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami."

The subject of the departure of the sons of Päëòu for the ultimate goal of
life, back to Godhead, is fully auspicious and is perfectly pure. Therefore
anyone who hears this narration with devotional faith certainly gains the
devotional service of the Lord, the highest perfection of life.
PURPORT
Çrémad-Bhägavatam is a narration about the Personality of Godhead and the
devotees of the Lord like the Päëòavas. The narration of the Personality of
Godhead and His devotees is absolute in itself, and thus to hear it with a
devotional attitude is to associate with the Lord and constant companions
of the Lord. By the process of hearing Çrémad-Bhägavatam one can attain the
highest perfection of life, namely going back home, back to Godhead,
without failure. (SB 1.15.51)
One evening, after an unusual number of impertinent questions, Hådayänanda

Maharaja stopped translating and instructed the crowd not to ask
nonsensical questions. Immediately one of the ladies raised her hand. “I’ve
heard from the devotees,” she began, “that at the time of leaving my body
it will be a very important test for my life for getting my next body. I’ve
also heard from the devotees that it is important for us to think of Lord
Kåñëa at that time of passing away of our body. What I want to ask Your
Divine Grace is: Is it as good as thinking of Kåñëa at the time of my death
to think of you?” Hådayänanda Mahäräja presented her question to
Prabhupäda. Çréla Prabhupäda smiled. “Yes, that is very good. You will get
the same result.” (Prabhupada Lila, Chapter Ten)
