Krishna Janmastami + Wedding + Vyasapuja (photogallery)

Last weekend was wild in The B.L.I.S.S. Fuengirola. We celebrated Sri Krishna Janmastami and the wedding ceremony of our Godbrother and Godsister Krishna Kishor Dasa and Atri Devi Dasi. The legal marriage dragged for months due to the office bureaucracy but the devotees finaly made it, by the mercy of Srila Prabhupada and Krishna. On Friday, during the festival of  the appearance day of Lord Krishna they promised to be together for the rest of their lives in Krishna consciousness. After that we had a long ecstatic kirtan, prasadam, cinema and a discussion on Krishna´s pastimes.

Next day we celebrated the trascendental appearance of our spiritual master His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada, we bathed him with flower petals in puspanjali ceremony and devotees read their offerings which you can find here.

If you are interested to take part in our activities do not hesitate and contact us. Hare Krishna!

Hallucinatory Happiness

4 weeks ago

“When a person dreams at night, hallucinatory figures created by the dream are accepted as real, and the imaginary dream body is accepted as one’s real body. For the time being, one forgets that besides the body created in hallucination, there is another, real body in his awakened state. Similarly, in the awakened state also, the bewildered conditioned soul considers sense enjoyment to be real happiness.

(KRSNA, ch.84 – Sacrificial Ceremonies Performed by Vasudeva)

Realising God is Like Churning Butter

4 weeks ago

As from the wood the infested fire can be manifested by proper manupulation or as butter can be churned out of the milk so also the presence of the Lord as Paramatma can be felt by the process of legitimate hearing and chanting of the transcendental subject.

Matter antimatter proton neutron all are different sources of manifestation of the Paramatma feature of the Lord by proper culture only.

1 month ago

“Once while they were engaged in their transcendental pastimes, a great demon of the name Pralambasura entered their company, desiring to kidnap both Balarama and Krsna. Although Krsna was playing the part of a cowherd boy, as the Supreme Personality of Godhead He could understand everything–past, present and future.So when Pralambasura entered their company, Krsna began to think how to kill the demon, but externally He received him as a friend.

Lord Krishna’s And Lord Balarama’s Opulence

1 month ago

When the visitors saw Lord Kṛṣṇa with His thousands of queens, they were fully satisfied at the sight of such beauty and transcendental opulence. All who were there personally visited Lord Balarāma and Kṛṣṇa, and being properly welcomed by Them, they began to glorify the members of the Yadu dynasty, especially Kṛṣṇa and Balarāma. Because Ugrasena was the King of the Bhojas, he was considered the chief Yadu, and therefore the visitors specifically addressed him.

It is easier to rise with an empty belly

How to Rise Early Tip

1 month ago

This is compulsory, early in the morning. What is the difficulty? You go. Of course one who is engaged extraordinarily, that is a different thing. Generally if you go to bed at ten you receive six hours sound sleep. More than sleeping six hours is a diseased condition. Six hours you can get up. Of course, those who cannot follow, that those who cannot rise in spite of going at ten to bed. Then he should not eat at night. Then he will be forced to get up. There is no difficulty. Don’t eat at night then he’ll be. So why not [indistinct] belly? Because it makes him a bit sleep more. So you do not overwork, then you will be able to rise early. This is easy.

(Srimad-Bhagavatam 7.7.29–30 – March 21, 1971, Bombay)

You Have To Select A Spiritual Master

1 month ago

Just like, “Oh, so many people, they have got a spiritual master. Let me have also some spiritual master.” It is not like that. It is only jijñāsuḥ, one must be very much inquisitive of the transcendental subject matter. He requires a spiritual master. So here also, the Lord says that tad viddhi: “If you want to understand that transcendental subject matter, then you must approach a person, a bona fide spiritual master.”

And the process is praṇipāta, praṇipātena. Praṇipāta means full surrender. Pra means prakṛṣṭa-rūpeṇa, fully, and nipāta means completely becoming a blank slate. Blank slate. Nobody should approach a bona fide spiritual master just to argue with him and just to, with a desire that “I shall see what kind of spiritual master.” No. This is useless. You have to select a spiritual master…

My Guru Mahārāja, my spiritual master, used to say that you have to select a spiritual master not by seeing but by your ear, but by hearing. And you don’t select a spiritual master who has got a very good hair or beard or some very beautiful feature, “Oh, he is a very good, nice looking.” No. You must hear. Tad viddhi praṇipātena (BG 4.34). Śruti. The whole process is śruti. The Vedas are called śruti. The ear has to aural reception.

The Holy Name In Torremolinos, Málaga, Spain | Harinam by The B.L.I.S.S. Fuengirola

1 month ago

The devotees of the Lord are always eager to chant the holy name and want everybody to join the sankirtan party. This time, right after Gaura-aratik the devotees grabbed the instruments and drove all the way from Fuengirola to Torremolinos to perform congregational chanting for the pleasure of the people there. During the Harinam people of the city were very receptive to the holy name and were transcendentally enjoying the procession. During the Kirtan one little boy ran to join the devotees as if he wanted to give up everything and join the sankirtan movement of Lord Caitanya, but his father run after him until he could catch him and grab him back. The devotees went ecstatic as you can see in the next video.

1 month ago

The Yajnas were conducted very nicely and everything was very clean and neat. Actually in the Kali yuga the real yajna is the sankirtana yajna as it is prescribed in the Srimad-Bhagavatam.

krsna varnam tvisakrsnam
sangopangastra parsadam
yajnaih sankirtana prayair
yajante hi sumedasah

(SB 11.5.32)

This is the sacrifice for Kali-yuga, harinama sankirtana.

Material Benefits of Chanting Hare Krsna

1 month ago

As usual, the opposite is the fact and in this short article we shall see only a fragment of the benefits that regular chanting brings to those who take it up with genuine interest. When we water the root, leaves and branches are nourished automatically. Keep Reading

Engage The Senses Properly

1 month ago

The intelligent man situated in Krsna consciousness does not try to forcibly stop his senses from acting. Rather, he engages his senses in the service of Krsna. No one can stop a child from playing by leaving him inactive; rather, one can stop the child from engaging in nonsense by engaging him in superior activities. Similarly, the forceful restraint of sense activities by the eight principles of yoga is recommended for inferior men; superior men, being engaged in the superior activities of Krsna consciousness, naturally retire from the inferior activities of material existence.

(Sri Caitanya Caritamrta, Adi-lila, Preface)

Krsna Provides

1 month ago

Our philosophy is, if anyone comes, let him take prasada, chant Hare Krsna and be happy. Everything is being supplied by Krsna, Krsna is not poor, so why we should deny them? This should be done at any cost. There is no difficulty, it simply requires nice management. At the end of the day you may sell or give away. If we believe that Krsna is providing and maintaining everyone, then why should we be misers? This means losing faith in Krsna, and thinking that we are the doers and suppliers. We are confident Krsna will supply! Let the whole world come, we can feed them. So please do this nicely, begin at once.

(Srila Prabhupada´s Letter to: All Iskcon Temple Presidents — Calcutta 18 January, 1977)

16 Rounds Our First Business

2 months ago

compiled from the vani of Srila Prabhupada

16 ROUNDS ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY IN ORDER TO REMEMBER KRSNA ALWAYS

So far as your question about arranging time, our first business is to regularly complete our chanting 16 rounds each day.

Letter to: Kirtanananda — Los Angeles 2 December, 1968

My advise is always chant 16 rounds minimum and follow the four regulative principles. All of my disciples must agree on this point otherwise they are not my disciples. Let one live anywhere, but stick to the principles. Disagreements will continue in this material world. So one may live in a suitable place, but one must follow these five principles. My disciples must follow these principles living either in heaven or hell.
