Lettre adressée à Tirtha Maharaj depuis New York

vanipedia.org 		Vous êtes le disciple le plus éminent de Śrīla Prabhupāda et vous êtes réellement à son service. Je souhaite seulement obtenir votre grâce et votre miséricorde, afin de faire de cette tentative un succès. Tout est prêt, c'est-à-dire que la maison est prête, le donateur est prêt ainsi que mon humble service sur place. Maintenant, c'est à vous d'y mettre la touche finale, parce que vous êtes le disciple le plus aimé de Sa Divine Grâce. Je pense que Śrīla Prabhupāda désire l'association de votre précieux service à ce grand projet de mon humble personne.

vanipedia.org 		Sans aucun doute, ces Américains ont l'habitude de consommer de la nourriture non végétarienne, mais j'ai confiance qu'ils sont capables d'être formés à notre mode de vie, car ils s'appliquent à l'instruction avec sincérité. En pratique, tout cela sera rendu possible dès que nous aurons un établissement stable ici, à New York.

Conférence "Introduction à la BG", 1e partie - New York
FR/French - Les Gouttes de Nectar de Srila Prabhupada
"Comme Arjuna, chacun d'entre nous est toujours empli d'angoisse à cause de cette existence matérielle. Asad-grahāt. En fait, nous vivons dans un environnement, une atmosphère de non-existence. Cependant, nous ne sommes pas inexistants. Notre existence est éternelle, mais, pour une raison ou pour une autre, nous sommes plongés dans cet asat. Asat signifie 'ce qui n'existe pas'."

vanipedia.org 		Introduction à la Gītopaniṣad, par A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami, auteur du Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam, d'Un voyage facile vers d'autres planètes, éditeur du magazine Back to Godhead (Retour à Dieu), etc.
La Bhagavad-gītā, connue également sous le nom de Gītopaniṣad, renferme l'essence du savoir védique. Dans la littérature védique, parmi les nombreuses Upaniṣads, elle est l'une des plus importantes.

vanipedia.org 		Celui qui a énoncé la Bhagavad-gītā est le Seigneur, Śrī Kṛṣṇa. Il est fait mention de lui, à chaque page de la Bhagavad-gītā, comme étant Dieu, la Personne suprême, Bhagavān.

vanipedia.org 		Tout le monde est uni au Seigneur par une relation particulière et cette relation particulière devient manifeste lorsque l'être vivant atteint la perfection du service de dévotion. Dans l'état actuel de notre vie, nous avons oublié non seulement le Seigneur suprême, mais aussi notre relation éternelle avec lui. Les milliards de milliards d'êtres vivants ont chacun, éternellement, une relation avec le Seigneur qui leur est propre.

vanipedia.org 		En se fondant sur ce que déclare la Bhagavad-gītā, ou sur ce qu'affirme Arjuna, quiconque s'efforce de comprendre la Bhagavad-gītā doit, ne serait-ce que théoriquement, accepter que Śrī Kṛṣṇa est Dieu, la Personne suprême, puis, dans cet esprit de soumission... À moins de recevoir la Bhagavad-gītā dans un esprit de soumission et d'une écoute attentive, il est très difficile de la comprendre, car il s'agit d'un grand mystère.

vanipedia.org 		Ainsi, le contenu de la Bhagavad-gītā consiste en cinq vérités distinctes. La première de ces vérités est la nature de Dieu. C'est la première étape de l'étude de la science de Dieu. Cette science de Dieu est expliquée ici. Ensuite, la nature constitutive des êtres vivants, ou jīva. Īśvara et jīva. Le Seigneur suprême est appelé īśvara. Īśvara désigne celui qui dirige. Les jīvas, les êtres vivants, ne sont pas īśvara, celui qui dirige. Ils sont ceux qui sont dirigés.

vanipedia.org 		Ainsi, cette tendance à dominer, à créer, est présente, parce que, mêmes si nous sommes partiels, nous avons cette tendance à vouloir dominer. Mais nous devons savoir que cette tendance ne suffit pas (pour faire de nous des maîtres suprêmes). Nous avons tendance à vouloir dominer la nature matérielle, à vouloir régner sur la nature matérielle, mais nous ne sommes pas le suprême Souverain. Tout cela est expliqué dans la Bhagavad-gītā.

vanipedia.org 		Les effets produits par le karma, ou les actions, peuvent être très anciens. Nous souffrons ou nous apprécions les résultats de nos actions depuis un temps immémorial, mais, tout de même, nous pouvons changer le résultat de notre karma, c'est-à-dire de nos actions. Cela dépend de la perfection de notre connaissance. Nous sommes sans aucun doute impliqués dans différentes activités, mais nous ne savons pas à quelles sortes d'activités nous devons nous adonner pour être délivrés des résultats et des conséquences de nos actions. Cela aussi est expliqué dans la Bhagavad-gītā.

vanipedia.org 		The Lord lives within the core of heart in every living being, therefore He is conscious of the psychic movements, activities, of the particular jīva. We should not forget. It is also explained that the Paramātmā, or the Supreme Personality of Godhead, is living in everyone's heart as īśvara, as the controller and He is giving direction. He is giving direction. Sarvasya cāhaṁ hṛdi sanniviṣṭhaḥ (BG 15.15), everyone's heart He is situated, and He gives direction to act as he desires.

vanipedia.org 		The whole Bhagavad-gītā was explained by the Lord because Arjuna represented himself with bodily conception. So one has to get free from the bodily conception of life. That is the preliminary activity for a transcendentalist who wants to get free, who wants to be liberated. And he has to learn first of all that he is not this material body. So this consciousness, or material consciousness, when we are freed from this material consciousness, that is called mukti.

vanipedia.org 		Vigraha means form. Avyaktaṁ vyaktim āpannaṁ manyante mām abuddhayaḥ. People with less intelligence, they consider the Supreme Truth as impersonal, but He is a person, a transcendental person. This is confirmed in all Vedic literature. Nityo nityānāṁ cetanaś cetanānām. So, as we are also persons, individual living beings, we are persons, we have got our individuality, we are all individual, similarly the Supreme Truth, the Supreme Absolute, He is also, at the ultimate issue He is a person.

vanipedia.org 		Arjuna, the student who took lessons of the Bhagavad-gītā, he accepted the whole story as it is, without any cutting. That is also not allowed, that we accept a certain portion of Bhagavad-gītā and reject another portion. That is also not accepted. We must accept the Bhagavad-gītā without interpretation, without any cutting, and without our own whimsical participation in the matter because it should be taken as the most perfect Vedic knowledge.

vanipedia.org 		In the Bhagavad-gita it is clearly explained that there are three kinds of activities according to the different modes of nature: the activities of goodness, the activities of passion, the activities of ignorance.

vanipedia.org 		At the present status of our life we have not only forgotten the Supreme Lord, but also we have forgotten our eternal relationship with the Lord. Every living being, out of many, many millions and billions of living beings, each and every living being has got a particular relationship with the Lord eternally. That is called svarūpa. Svarūpa. And by the process of devotional service one can revive that svarūpa of oneself. And that stage is called svarūpa-siddhi, perfection of one's constitutional position.

FR/French - Les Gouttes de Nectar de Srila Prabhupada
"There is one scripture only, one common scripture for the whole world, for the people of the whole world, and that is this Bhagavad-gītā. Devo devakī-putra eva. And there is one God for the whole world, is Śrī Kṛṣṇa. And eko mantras tasya nāmāni. And one hymn, mantra, one hymn only, one prayer, or one hymn, is to chant His name, Hare Kṛṣṇa Hare Kṛṣṇa Kṛṣṇa Kṛṣṇa Hare Hare, Hare Rāma Hare Rāma Rāma Rāma Hare Hare."

vanipedia.org 		The word religion is a little different from sanātana-dharma. Religion conveys the idea of faith. Faith may change. One may have faith in a particular process, and he may change the faith afterwards and adopt another faith. But sanātana-dharma means which cannot be changed.

vanipedia.org 		We can see no living being is exempted from the practice of rendering service to other living being, and therefore we can conclude that service is a thing which is the constant companion of the living being, and therefore it may be safely concluded that rendering of service by a living being is the eternal religion of the living being.

vanipedia.org 		The living entities or the Lord, because we are full of consciousness, therefore our consciousness is after happiness. Happiness. The Lord is also perpetually happy, and if we associate with the Lord, cooperate with Him, take part in His association, then also we become happy. The Lord descends on this mortal world to show His pastimes in Vṛndāvana full of happiness.

vanipedia.org 		The supreme planet means the Kṛṣṇaloka. In the spiritual sky there are innumerable planets, sanātana planets, eternal planets, which are never destroyed, annihilated. But of all those spiritual planets there is one planet, the original planet, which is called Goloka Vṛndāvana. So these informations are there in the Bhagavad-gītā and we are given the opportunity for leaving this material world and get our eternal life in the eternal kingdom.

vanipedia.org 		The Lord says, vinivṛtta-kāmāḥ, these designations or these attachments are due to our lust, desire. We want to lord it over the material nature. So, so long we do not give up this propensity of lording it over the material nature, up to that time there is no possibility of going back to the kingdom of the Supreme, the sanātana-dhāma.

vanipedia.org 		So many things unknown to us, therefore this body is ignorant. Instead of becoming full of knowledge it is ignorant. The body is perishable, full of ignorance, and nirānanda. Instead of becoming full of bliss, it is full of miseries. All the miseries that we experience in this material world, it is all due to this body.

vanipedia.org 		The activities of this life are preparation ground for the next life. We are preparing for our next life by our activities of this life. So if we can prepare our this life for getting promotion to the kingdom of God, then surely, after leaving, after quitting this material body.

vanipedia.org 		At the time of death, either we can remain in the material energy, or this material world, or we can transfer into the spiritual world. That is the criterion.

vanipedia.org 		There is no difference because Kṛṣṇa and Kṛṣṇa's name are nondifferent in the Absolute. In the absolute status there is no difference between one thing to another. That is the absolute status. So the Lord being absolute, there is no difference between His name and Himself.

vanipedia.org 		One has to learn this art, how one can be absorbed both by the mind and intelligence twenty-four hours thinking of the Lord. And that will help one to transfer himself into the kingdom of God or in the spiritual atmosphere after leaving this material body.

vanipedia.org 		The conclusion is that Bhagavad-gītā is a transcendental literature which one should read very carefully. Gītā-śāstram idaṁ puṇyaṁ yaḥ paṭhet prayataḥ pumān. And the result will be, if he properly follows the instruction, then he can be freed from all miseries of life, all anxieties of life. Bhaya-śokādi-varjitaḥ. All fears of life, in this life, as well as he'll get a spiritual life in the next life.

vanipedia.org 		There is one work only, that is to serve the Supreme Personality of Godhead. If one learns from Bhagavad-gītā, then the people are very much anxious to have one religion, one God, one scripture, and one business or one activity of life. This is summarized in the Bhagavad-gītā. That one, one God, is Kṛṣṇa. Kṛṣṇa is not sectarian God. Kṛṣṇa, from the name of Kṛṣṇa... Kṛṣṇa means, as we have explained above, Kṛṣṇa means the greatest pleasure.

vanipedia.org 		The Lord lives within the core of heart in every living being, therefore He is conscious of the psychic movements, activities, of the particular jīva. We should not forget. It is also explained that the Paramātmā, or the Supreme Personality of Godhead, is living in everyone's heart as īśvara, as the controller and He is giving direction. He is giving direction.
