Sattva Dham - The Location Of The Good In You

The reflecting jewel of the soul is your Sattva Dham (Sattva = divine good-ness, Dham = holy location) in you, since the transcendental soul (the true you) is Sat, Cit, Ananda (Sat = ultimate being, Cit = knowledge and pure con-sciousness, and Ananda = happiness or perfect bliss). As more we believe in this fact - the more we can heal ourself and others all material contami-nation - just as the sunshine vanishes the morning-fog. Healing is spiritual transformation and evolution and vise versa! How can we increase this faith in the good in us, which evaporates all evil around us? The purpose of this booklet is to answer this question.

Since God is good, from God only comes the good and the good comes only from God, our contact, connection and interaction with exploitative pas-sion (Raja Guna = red, on the right) and destructive ignorance (Tama Guna = blue, left) is only possible if we build a wall of impersonalism (Mayavad) against the Source of the All-good (Vishuddha Sattva = yellow, on the top).

As we see in picture: The Gunas are always mixed, but the transcenden-tal above of Sat, Cit, Ananda is pure Sattva (Vishuddha Sattva). Sattva stems from the root Sat (= eternal, pure, unmixed existence). Vishuddha Sattva is the characteristics of the Absolute. (The yellow crosses are four living entities on different levels of their karmic, ethical de- / evolution).

And this is also the wood from which we, the spiritual souls, are carved from as well. We are (under all our temporary coverings) a spiritual soul and this is our Sattva Dham, a jewel which reflects the goodness of the Absolute. We have to uncover this Sattva Dham in us and start to feel its transfor-mative potency. “Selbstvertrauen ist Gottvertrauen!” (Bruno Gröning) “Self-confidence is to trust in God!”

4

That means: The Absolute is all-good, His qualities are in absolute purity and this divine qualities are shining into the Guna-mixture of our material world (as the following synonyms of Sattva): Existence, maintenance, health (healing), truth, knowledge, peace, love, (striving for truth, knowledge, peace) happiness, purity, cleanliness, beauty, aesthetics, light, illumination, charity, cheerfulness, equanimity, altruism, the greater ability to differentiate between things, control over the mind, control over the senses, control over the tongue, tolerance, patience, fulfillment of duty, love of truth, forgiveness, care, satisfac-tion (even in adverse situations), generosity, honesty, self-control, equilibrium, trust, feelings of responsibility, modesty and ease, non-complication, etc. (Out of Bhagavad Gita, Chapter 14-18 and the Bhagavad Purana 11.25.2–5)

“The place of fearlessness and spiritual happiness can be reached by pure virtue (Sattvam = Divine healing energy). The Yogi of devotional love considers this mode to be a DIRECT manifestation of Your personal Divine, but they never consider "Raja-Guna" (exploitative passion) or "Tama-Guna" (destructive ignorance) as Your direct energies but to be the material, INDIRECT (and

temporary) manifestation of Your Divine.”

The "Lion-Guru" Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati used to say: "This world is only lacking one thing, devotion to Krsna (God)." What does this mean? If we view this sentence from the other i.e. from our side, it means the only problem in this world are our Mayavad-tendencies. Or better: The only problem in the entire universe from which all other problems emanate are Mayavad-tendencies. Or even better: The only thing what is between us and our total spiritual breakthrough are our Mayavad-tendencies!

These transcendental qualities of the Absolute (and of our own Sattva Dham in our heart) can be ONLY discovered in the theistic trinitarian world view of the 3 Gunas and NOT! in the dualistic, monistic or nihilis-tic YinYang world view of the Mayavadis. We have to study this theistic perspec-tive of the Yoga-Psychology and the timless, universall and natural scale of ethics of the three Gunas. This positive orientation, knowledge and virtue will raise us in our spiritual / ethical evolution towards our true and connected self. This knowledge is supported in a San-skrit-verse in the Bhagavad Purana (SB 12.8.46 and Satsandarba of Jiva Goswami):

Page 3: Bhaktimath com

So Then, What Are Mayavad-Tendencies?

For example Kabbalah with its dualistic world view is Mayavad because it says evil is a part of God: "God has two sides; both are essentially one thing; what we experience as evil is as Divine as what we experience as good. Everything is illusion (Maya) - nothing is real, and the good is as much an illusion as the bad, we have to reach an equilibrium beyond or tran-scendental to good and bad”.

12.8.46 - The theistic antimayavad Verse of the Bhagavad Purana (men-tioned before) is also totally contrary to what for example this (in)famous Mayavadi from India says (no need to mention his name): "Sattva is the pious quality of Maya (Illusion) that generates all the desirable characteristics in the mind, like goodness, generosity, humbleness, forgiveness, kindness, respect, alertness, etc."

The Verse SB 12.8.46 means: The divine Sattvic characteristics of the Absolute are spiritual (and pure) and they are shining directly into our material world (where they mix with Raja and Tama). For example: The beauty of a flower is a divine energy and its emergence and decay is caused by the material energies. Once a Mayavadi from Switzerland said: “Also Sattva-Guna is demoniac!” The right theistic understanding would be: The Gunas are always mixed in the material world and only the amount of Raja- and Tama-Guna in the Stattva-Guna-mixture is of this temporary and illu-sionary material world (or in his words “demoniac”), but never the amounts of Sattva in that mixture, which are the direct transcendental sattvic quali-ties of the Absolute.

All the above mentioned transcendental qualities of the Absolute are in us, when we uncover and polish our jewel of the life-force-giving spirit soul more and more. Like this we become jewels reflecting the transcendental divine Vishuddha-Sattva-qualities of the Absolute! This understanding and the faith in the transcendental qualities of our own spiritual nature is the be-ginning of our spiritual life and then we start to see our body and mind as a transformable tool which we can enlighten for our own spiritual progress.

This is totally opposite to what for example this Mayavadi said: “If one gives to the state of health in the least preference relative to the state of the disease, it is already projecting us thereinto in the outer duality of material existance.” God’s energies have a healing effect and the healing waves of the All-good are all around us at any time, we just have to be aware of them and invoke them, we open ourself, tune in and absorb them!

By the teachings of His Divine Grace Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Thakur Prabhupada our Mayavad-tendencies ie our wall of impersonalism (Mayavada) against the healing source of the All-good will vanish and the healing of body, mind and soul will take place and real transformative Perfec-tion will be achieved.

However then, what happened to Srila Bhaktisiddhanta's movement, to the Gaudia Vaisnavas, after the so called Hare Krishna Explosion?

First, in the late sixties suddenly Hare Krishnas were everywhere, all over the world – even the Beatles became Hare Krishnas! The Mahamantra was Number 1 in the top charts. Then the Gaudia Vaisnvas where weakened by divide and conquer. “Divide et impera” is a combination of political, military, economic or even philosophical strategy of gaining and maintaining power by breaking up larger concentrations of power into chunks that individually have less power than the one implementing the strategy ... and so the Kabbalists have won a battle …

What Is Now The Remedy?

We have to come under the authority of the source of the good. Back to the roots and to the absorbtion of the Ray Of Vishnu! By focusing on the mission of Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Thakur the strategy of divide and conquer introduced by the Mayavad-elites loses its strength ...

His Divine Grace Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Thakur Prabhupada (February 6, 1874 to January 1, 1937 and perceptible to the very present ...) Param- / Adi-Founder-Acharia of the international society for Krishna con-

sciousness.

Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Thakur Prabhupada was a preacher of Gaudiya Vaishnavism throughout India in the late nineteenth and early twenti-eth century. He was born as Bimal Prasad Dutta in the seaside pilgrimage town of Jagannath Puri, Orissa, India. His father, the Vaishnava scholar Sri Kedarnath Dutta, later known as Bhaktivinoda Thakur, was a Deputy Magis-trate in the Government of Bengal, a Gaudiya Vaishnava Theologian and the first to present the teachings of Chaitanyite Vaishnavism to the English speak-ing world.

Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Thakur Prabhu-pada began to preach all over India, establishing Lord Caitanya’s mission with such vigour no one had seen before. He estab-lished sixty-four Mathas (monasteries), and outside of India Mathas were estab-lished in Rangoon, and small centers in London and Germany and he initi-ated over 60,000 disciples.

Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Thakur Prabhupada was also the spiri-tual master of world renowned (left to right):

Srila Bhakti Raksaka Sridhara Deva Goswami, Srila A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada, Srila Bhakti Prajnana Kesava Gosvami Maharaja, who is himself the spiritual master of Srila Bhaktivedanta Narayana Gos-vami Maharaja.(who is the spiritual master of the compiler of this humble

offering in form of this booklet / website).

Srila Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada especially commented on Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Thakura Prabhupada's powerful preaching against caste-ism, Sahajiyas (superficial understanding) and Mayavadis (nihilists), and on how effective he was at debunking these strongly rooted influences in Indian (and now worldwide) cultural and religious traditions:

"This was practically one of his most important contributions, coupled with his constant axe blows against the impersonalists and voidists. In his travels throughout India and especially South India, he enjoyed a reputation as an incredibly powerful debator, and received the title

"Simha-Guru"-lion guru. Various proponents of the Mayavadi School would cross the street rather than confront him, and he was known to

accost such scholars and chastise them for cheating the innocent public with false philosophy."

This is also supported by Verse 6 of the 1935 Vyasa-puja offering by Abhay Charan Das (A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami) to Srila Bhaktisiddhanta :

"Absolute is sentient Thou hast proved. Impersonal calamity Thou hast moved.

This gives us a life Anew and fresh. Worship thy feet Your Divine Grace."

The Theistic Solution

Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Thakur Prabhupada's inspiration, the Bhagavad Gita rejects "the Mayavadi-dictatorship of relativism" which governs today’s ethical values of the elite, education and mass-medias by devoting three chapters to the philosophy of the three Gunas, which propa-gates a timeless, natural and universal applicable scale of ethics.

But the Bhagavad Gita (literally: the song of God) is a mystery and without proper guidance it can be very confusing. Theists and Mayavadis in India base their teachings on the Bhagavad Gita, although their world view is dia-metrically opposed to each other. The reason for this is that when God writes a book (or sings a book); he doesn't like to overpower the free will of man-kind. The freedom of choice is still ours: Theists consider Sattva as the charcteristics of God, since God is helping, loving and healing. Mayavadis see Sattva as a material illusion and don’t belive in its ultimate healing power.

Then what is Sattva-Guna? In the Bhagavad Gita we find: "O sinless one, the mode of goodness, being purer than the others, is illuminating, and it frees one from all sinful reactions. Those situated in that mode develop knowledge, but they become conditioned by the concept of happiness." (Bg. 14.6)

What does that mean? Does Sattva liberate us now or does it condi-tion us in the same time? We understand this better when we know that the Gunas are always mixed and a person in Sattva-Guna is in a mixture of for example 90% Sattva, 6% Raja and 4% Tama. So that what conditions the person is not the 90% Sattva - it is the 6% Raja and 4% Tama. In the purport to Bg. 14.6 by Bhaktivedanta Swami we find: “The diffi-culty here is that when a living entity is situated in the mode of goodness, he becomes conditioned to feel that he is advanced in knowledge and is better than others. In this way he becomes conditioned. The best examples are the scientist and philosopher: each is very proud of his knowledge, and because they generally improve their living conditions, they feel a sort of material happiness. This sense of advanced happiness in conditioned life makes them bound by the mode of goodness of material nature." What is pride? Is it Sattva? No as we know pride is Raja – so it is the 6% Raja in the Sattva-Guna in the example above what conditions the person and never Sattva as we know from SB 12.6.46 (as mentioned before). The pure form of Sattva is the elevating energy of God himself and our faith in it is that what liberates us from the bondage of material existens and the cycle of birth and death. We should never doubt that!

The Bhagavad Gita is very scientific and not confined to local, temporary religion. Besides the described timeless and universal laws of reincarnation, the karmic radius of free will, the transcendental nature of the spiritual soul in every living entity, it’s natural but covered eternal possession of love of God (Sanathan-Dharma), this book shows us also the orientation oft the natural scale of ethics of the three Gunas which leads us to our own Sattva-Dham in our heart. This trinitarian, non-dual world view of the Gunas is now the true world-ethos and it is the spiritual foundation of human society.

Interestingly enough most people follow the ethical patterns of the three Gunas naturally without even knowing its precise formula. The accep-tance and application of this timeless scale of ethics is possible for every per-son, regardless of his or her cultural or religious background. This is easily explained because the Gunas have their origin in the matrix of the three modes (or the three phases) of all material objects around us: Emergence, existence and decay, and thus in the psychological basic factors / activities:

Creating (Raja-Guna = red), Maintaining (Sattva-Guna = yellow), and

Destroying (Tama-Guna = blue).

There are around twenty synonyms necessary for each Guna to understand them entirely, since our language has no such umbrella terms (listed on page 20).The Gunas do not overwrite our karmic radius of free will. When we raise in the matrix it will expand and when we sink it will contract. As a sailing ship the spiritual soul can cruise up against the adverse tamasic and rajasic winds

and choose its destiny and tune in into the characteristics of the Absolute.

However, the Vedic scriptures of Yoga-Psychology have even more to say about the characteristics of the Absolute. For example in the invoca-tion of the Sri Isopanishad:

Page 6: Bhaktimath com

11

Om purnam adah purnam idam purnat purnam udacyate purnasya purnam adaya purnam evavasisyate

Om -- the Complete Whole; purnam -- perfectly complete; adah -- that; pur-nam -- perfectly complete; idam -- this phenomenal world; purnat -- from the all-perfect; purnam -- complete unit; udacyate -- is produced; purnasya -- of the Complete Whole; purnam -- completely, all; adaya -- having been taken

away; purnam -- the complete balance; eva -- even; avasisyate -- is remaining.

The Personality of Godhead is perfect and complete. Whatever is pro-duced of the Complete Whole is also complete in itself. Because He is

the Complete Whole, even though so many complete units emanate from Him, He remains the complete balance. If the Absolute is to be absolute,

then it must contain everything that is found in all its parts.

This Verse means that the Absolute has beside its impersonal aspect also a personal, loving, helping and healing aspect: And a feminine nurs-ing aspect which helps us out of the cycle of birth and death, and sends us the transformative divine healing power (healing current or in German: Heilstrom).

So we see: It is for our spiritual progress not helpful to deny the per-sonal helping aspect of the Absolute: God is good, from God only comes the good and the good comes only from God, and since the Absolute is all-

good, our contact and connection with exploitative passion and destructive ignorance is slashed by the mercy of the All-good. You've the choice!

The impersonal aspect of the Absolute (Advaita-monism), the Brahman does not care for us at all, since it is impersonal. And the second aspect of the Absolute Paramatma is just a little more personal, but as neutral as the clerk in a bank counter (counting your money). Paramatma is the operating system of this world and is the Karma-accountant. Only when Paramatma in your heart transforms by your wish into the third aspect of the Absolute Bhagavan then a loving, helping truly healing relationship begins to take place and your heart shows it true feature of Sattva Dham! (See Bhagavad Purana 1.2.11)

12

Bhagavad Gita as it is, Introduction: “We should always remember the su-preme lover, and at the same time perform our material duties very nicely. A strong sense of love is required here. If we have a strong sense of love for the Supreme Lord, then we can discharge our duty and at the same time remem-ber Him.” The Absolute is much more creative and humorous than we normally think. Can you imagine a God who performs a graduation-dancing-party (Rasa-Lila) with the souls who just made it out of the cycle of birth and death? That is the humorous aspect of Absolute: Sri Krishna is dancing with Srimati Radharani and Her expansions (without Raja-Guna / Lust, just love):

And from this perspective the Christian Trinity would look like this:

* Is and Is Not: Achintya-Bheda-Abheda-Tattva …

Page 7: Bhaktimath com

13

Achintya-Bheda-Abheda-Tattva is a school of Vedanta representing the philosophy of inconceivable oneness and difference, in relation to the crea-tion and the creator, as well as between God and his energies (us) within the Gaudiya Vaishnava religious tradition. In Sanskrit achintya means 'in-conceivable', bheda translates as 'difference', and abheda translates as 'oneness'. This philosophy (Tattva) was taught by the movement's theologi-cal founder Chaitanya Mahaprabhu (1486 - 1534).

And this leads to our next thesis:

Jesus Christos is the son of Christos. Christos means the liberator i.e. savior and that is akin to the Sanskrit word Krishna = the all-attractive, which is quite a true name of God. Radha is in accordance with Indian San-skrit texts, the personification of love and mercy and eternal consort of Krishna. That’s why the origin of the Holy Spirit is the female aspect of the Absolute Truth. That would mean from our Vedic perspective: Srimati Radharani is the source of the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is the female and the merciful healing energy of God. This interpretation is supported by the fact that the Hebrew word for God's spirit, "ruach yahweh', is female. The dove was in ancient Orient a symbol for all the great goddesses. It is also an argument that the Holy Spirit came down in the form of a dove at the baptism of Jesus on the banks of the river Jordan.

Within this Female Aspect of the Absolute Truth we see how two waves of eastern and western philosophies come together and we have here a similar effect as when two ocean-waves meet at the right moment: We get a huge wave - a double wave of Holy Spirit!

14

Knowledge informs – Love transforms. All living beings are an exten-sion of Srimati Radharani and She connects us with the Love of the Whole to the Whole (Picture in high resolution on Bhaktimath.com). To transform and become good we have to come under the authority of the source of the good. In the picture above we see the two theistic disciples’ successions, a western and an eastern one. Both have been developed from a "old testamentary world view” into a "new testamentary loving world view” and which view the same truth just from two different perspectives.

15

The Power of PremYoga (Yoga of Love): The Verse 12.8.46 from the Bhagavad Purana (mentioned above) has a second part: "Intelligent per-sons thus worship Your beloved transcendental form, composed of pure goodness, along with the spiritual forms of Your pure devotees."

In the Brihad-Gautamiya Tantra, Radharani is described as follows:

Devi krishna-mayi prokta radhika para-devata sarva-lakshmi-mayi sarva kantih sammohini para

"The transcendental goddess Srimati Radharani is the direct counterpart of Lord Sri Krishna. She is the central figure for all the goddesses of fortune. She possesses all the attractiveness to attract the all-attractive Personality

of Godhead. She is the primeval internal potency of the Lord."

16

Our Mother- and Father-God above the material matrix

The Features of Bhagavan: Radha and Krishna are considered as the divine couple in the Hindu religion and they play in Indian spirituality (and art) an important role (Observe that the Guna-Avatara Brahma on the lover right is a mortal Jiva-Atma, which means one of us - an explanation of an practical insight and conclusion about that will follow).

Page 9: Bhaktimath com

17

Love is Sattva and it maintains relationship, when love is mixed with Raja it becomes lust and it creates for example children, when lust is under influence of Tama it turns into hate and hate destroys relationship and even our own cells in our body. Healing and love are synonyms of Sattva.

Srimati Radharani is the source and the energy of divine Love personi-fied. She is the Mercy Goddess or Goddess of Mercy and every Jiva-Atma-Soul (we) is an expansion of Her Pleasure Potency. Evil can only be totally discarded with trust and faith in the power of pure love and pure goodness.

Knowledge informs – Love trans-forms. It is therefore not surprising, that in Christianity many healings, miracles and prophecies are re-ceived by those who have visited the pilgrimage sites of her expan-sion Virgin Mary, since the seven gifts and the nine fruits of the Holy Spirit are:

1st - The gift of faith is the ability to tune in and feel the force of the healing current in and on our own body. This state is the precondition of all the following gifts:

2nd - The gift of discernment and the recognition, separating and releasing of all that burdens us and what does not belong to us. The student will gain experience to distinguish in his own life, what leads to more love, more devotion and to greater service to the people and what not. 3rd - The gift of power absorption will charge our internal battery of our life force with the power of the healing current. 4th - The gift of healing diseases is the belief in goodness as a necessary prerequisite for the will for health. 5th - The gift of performing "miracles" with the help of the healing current. 6th - The gift of instruction and conveying of wisdom is also form of the healing current: “Knowledge informs and love transforms”.

18

7th - The gift of prophetic speech is the stage of asking questions receiving answers under the influence of the healing current: “The healing power is omnipotence and omniscience" (Bruno Groening). (In Sanskit: Tri-kala-jnana - knowledge of the three times past, present and future). And the nine fruits of the Holy Spirit / healing current are: 1st - love, 2nd - joy, 3rd - peace, 4th - patience, 5th - friendliness, 6th - goodness, 7th - loyalty, 8th - gentleness, 9th - self-control.

All this we can get by the process described here. However, with the help of the healing current, we have to let all forms of negativity go in order to tune in into Visuddha-Sattva: It is essential that we are well trained in releasing all those big burdens of negativity that is carried on us by the mass media and other people. Violence, aggression, hatred, perver-sion, fears, whining, etc., can be repelled from our mind and speech imme-diately. Just as the water droplets are repelled off a lotus leaf without wet-ting it! “Whatever bothers you – does not belong to you!” (Including: Karma, astrological influences and so on ...)

Where are we now? People come often with the excuse: “Men has to eat!” (work) and ac-tually mean: Humans are in Raja-Guna!

The Synonyms of Raja are: Creation, mate-rial desires, collecting of wealth, exploiting passions, domination by physical impulses, lust, dissatisfaction (even with gain), false pride, augustness, vanity, self-glorification, restlessness, immodesty, control seeking, greed, envy, gross identification with status symbols, etc.

Page 10: Bhaktimath com

19

However, we should always remember that Raja is just a temporary covering of the soul, which rises to Sattva if it is regulated and used posi-tively. On the contrary; if Raja is performed whimsically, it transforms by the gravity of material nature into Tama-Guna and causes suffering. This brings us to another paradox - our mind. The Bhagavad Gita recognizes equa-nimity or stability of our minds as an important precondition to self-realization. A disturbed mind cannot focus on anything in particular for long. In a disturbed state of mind it is also not possible for us to withdraw our senses or control our thoughts and “he is the greatest enemy” (BG 6.5).

The paradox is on one hand that the Bhagavad Gita gives great impor-tance for controlling our mind and directing it towards Vishuddha Sattva and on the other hand we should not give to much attention to our mind, since our mind is like a child. So let’s study the consciousness of a child: We can spoil a child either with not enough attention or with too much atten-tion. Too much undeserved attention leads to self centeredness. A spoiled child is definitely one one who is too self centered and so is our mind. So what is the solution here in the Yoga-Psychology of the three Gunas?

First: The Guna-Avatara of Raja-Guna is in contrary to the other two a mortal being! Second: A triangle has three sides and we can rotate (and flip) it - and on each side, on which it stands, it has two dualities: A vertical and a horizontal - that gives us a total of six dualities and corre-sponding philosophical conclusions – and that means for our case:

Solution: If we remove the self centerdness of our mind, than we un-derstand it is just a question of the connection: We can rotate the Guna-triangle related to our current material situation / perspective and we get a horizontal duality of the divine (left) and the demoniac (right) and vertical duality of the influence (top) and influenced (below). That means:

We are not thinking! We only can receive thoughts! In the same way we can not even move our small finger! We are a spiritual soul and can only have the desire to move our finger and Paramatma, the operating system of the material wolrd is moving our finger in a way that gives us the illusion: “Hey, I move my finger!” The same thing applies to the subtle matter, to our mind and we should always observe from which channel do we re-ceive our thoughts – from the divine or the demoniac channel? Whenever we are not happy and peaceful, we are tuned in to the wrong channel. We just have to flip the switch and connect / tune in to the right channel, by becoming personal and by asking and inviting the healing current i.e its representative for help: We have the choice, as we see in this picture:

The three Gunas from our conditioned perspective:

Guna-Avatara Brahma is mortal Jiva-Atma as well as all those many Jiva-Atmas (on that Chinese beach). We all have to choose every mo-

ment from where we receive our thoughts. You've the choice!

The 25 Pearls Of Instruction

by His Divine Grace Om Visnupada Paramahansa Srila Bhak-tisiddhanta Sarasvati Thakura Prabhupada

Page 12: Bhaktimath com

23

1. We are constantly put to test and trial in this world. Only those who attend and participate in the Kirtana of the devotees can succeed.

2. Every spot on earth where pure discourses on God are held is a place of pilgrimage.

3. Possession of objects not related to Krishna is our main malady.

4. Let me not desire anything but the highest good for my worst ene-mies.

5. As dalliance with the body in luxury increases, so wanes the spirit of service of the Lord.

6. Those favored by God find their paths set by thorns.

7. There is no peace or happiness in our worldly life. Circumstances create turmoil and annoyance.

8. Chant the Holy Names loudly and with attachment. This will drive away inertia, worldly evils and pests.

9. Be indifferent to bazaar gossips, stick firmly to your cherished goals, no lack or impediments of the world will ever stand in your way.

10. Pay due respects to the extroverts of the world, but do not be ap-preciative of their manners and conduct. They are to be shaken off

from your mind.

11. A devotee feels the presence of God everywhere, but one averse to the Lord denies His existence anywhere.

12. You cannot appreciate transcendental matters with the reasoning of the world. It is sheer nonsense to decry them with the measuring

stick of your intellect.

13. To recite the Holy Names of Sri Krishna and Sri Krishna Chaitanya is Bhakti.

24

14. Life is for the glorification of topics on Hari. If that is stopped, then what need is there to carry on life.

15. Physical illness with Hari-bhajana is preferred to physical fitness without Hari-bhajana.

16. Our span of life on earth is short. Our life will be crowned with success if the body wears out with constant discourses on Hari.

17. We are here on earth not to work as artisans for making big build-ings with wood and stone but to work only as messengers for the

teachings of Sri Gauranga Deva.

18. A sycophant is neither a guru or a preacher.

19. To transform the adverse desires of the Jivas is the supreme duty of the most merciful. To rescue one person from the stronghold of

Mahamaya is an act of superb benevolence, far superior to opening innumerable hospitals.

20. Unless we are devoted to God, secularism shall not leave us.

21. Look within. Amend yourself, rather than pry into the frailities of others.

22. In this world of Maya, averse to the Lord, full of trials and tribula-tions, only patience, humility and respect for others are our friends for

Hari-bhajana.

23. The Lord, Gaurasundara, puts His devotees in various difficulties and associations to test their patience and strength of mind. Success

depends on their good fortune.

24. When faults in others misguide and delude you – have patience, introspect, find faults in yourself. Know that others cannot harm you

unless you harm yourself.

25. I wish that every selfless, tender-hearted person of Gaudiya Math (Gauranga’s followers) will be prepared to shed two hundred gallons

of blood for the nourishment of the spiritual corpus of every individual of this world.

Conclusion (Siddhanta), Manifesto & Appeal:

Mayavad leads to the dictatorship of relativism, as found in the world-view of today's elite and in the mass media as a gateway to modern ethical devolution. This is the worldview of the top Bilderbergers, the Illuminatis, the impersonal nihilists, the occultists, the Luciferian theosophists of Blavatsky, the Masonic-lodge-brothers and their subordinate media professionals and the system-press-whores. Mayavad is the world view of the dark side of the force manifested in the Lucifer Trust (founded by Blavatsky's student Alice Bailey, who is still maintain a memorial room in the main building of the UN), and in the Bohemian Grove and its kabbalistic forefathers trio Jacob Frank, Adam Weishaupt and Meyer Amschel (Rothschild) and their sectarian dogma: "liberation from sin!" Kabbalah is Mayavad because it says evil is part of God: "God has two sides; [both] are essentially one thing; what we experience as evil is as Divine as what we experience as good. Everything is illusion - nothing is real, and the good is as much an illusion as the bad”.

This worldview requires forced abolition of individuality, of cultural diversity and the man-woman duality (Genderism). In Buddhist secret writings of the Kalachakra Tantra is mentioned that the monk has to learn at a high level how to steal, kill and rape, because so he may realize that, since everything is one, good is in the material duality just as much an illu-sion as the bad. The infamous Machiavelli with his "The Prince" had similar views, and that’s why he is so popular: The nihilistic (impersonal) monism is the way how you can act badly with a good conscience.

Mayavadi ignorance has led to an unimaginably chaotic situation in India. For example, where the ecology is widely disregarded and corruption is riprominent in society. If we think that nature is just an illusion, then there is no need to protect it. Even the leaders of a well-known school of impersonalists from Calcutta have started to eat meat again just to set an example that vegetarianism i.e. avoidance of unnecessary violence is an illusion as well!

Monism is heartless and uncaring and that is clearly visible when the resulting communism then when all is one, then it does not play a big role if a Stalin or Mao would kill a few millions cells of the whole, as long as it's good for the whole, i.e. the whole society, since cells have no individuality anyway. But it's important for us to understand that we humans are not the body cells, but spiritual individuals on the path of spiritual ie ethical evolu-tion.

Summary: Mayavad is our only problem! Since the Absolute is all-good, our contact and connec-tion with exploitative passion (Raja Guna) and destructive ignorance (Tama Guna) is only possible if we build a wall of impersonalism against the source of the All-good (Vishuddha Sattva). In other words: “The only thing what is be-tween us and our total spiritual breakthrough are our Mayavad-tendencies! Mayavadi theology is the impersonal philosophy of all-pervading Illusion (everything is Maya). Mayavadi theology is de-structive to the faith in goodness, since it considers goodness itself to be an illusion, Maya”. Conclusion: “We are either Ma-yavad-bashers or we are one!”

Appeal: To all the followers, grand-disciples, grand-grand-disciples, and grand-grand-grand-disciples of His Divine Grace Srila Bhak-

tisiddhanta Sarasvati Thakur Prabhupada: We don’t have to fight each other! We have to fight Mayavad! Let's unite against deviation, separa-

tion, segregation and our own Mayavad-tendencies!

Thank you very much!
