Why Supeme Lord created human life?

 

God has specifically created the human form of life to facilitate the liberation of the conditioned soul. Therefore one who abuses human life prepares his path to hell. As stated in the Vedas, puruṣatve cāvistarām ātmā: “In the human form of life there is good possibility of understanding the eternal soul.” The Vedas also state:

tābhyo gām ānayat tā abruvan
na vai no ’yam alam iti
tābhyo ’śvam ānayat tā abruvan
na vai no ’yam alam iti
tābhyaḥ puruṣam ānayat tā
abruvan su-kṛtaṁ bata

The purport of this śruti-mantra is that lower forms of life, such as the cow and horse, are not actually suitable to fulfill the purpose of creation. But human life awards the opportunity to understand one’s eternal relationship with God. Thus, one must control the material senses and fulfill the real purpose of human life. If one takes to Kṛṣṇa consciousness, the Supreme Lord personally feels happiness and gradually reveals Himself to His devotee.

The Lord’s material creation consists of the living entities and dead matter, which the less intelligent try to enjoy. The Lord, however, is not satisfied by those species that blindly strive for sense gratification without understanding spiritual nature. We are suffering due to our forgetfulness of Kṛṣṇa and the blissful situation of His abode. If we accept the Lord as protector and shelter and execute His order, we can easily revive our eternal, blissful nature as parts and parcels of the Personality of Godhead. It is for this purpose that the Lord has created human life.

Is there life on other planets?

In modern so-called scientific society, the idea is very prevalent that there is no life on other planets but that only on this earth do living entities with intelligence and scientific knowledge exist. The Vedic literature, however, does not accept this foolish theory. The followers of Vedic wisdom are fully aware of various planets inhabited by varieties of living entities such as the demigods, the sages, the Pitas, the Gandharvas, the Pannagas, the Kinnaras, the Caranas, the Siddhas and the Apsaras. The Vedas give information that in all planets–not only within this material sky but also in the spiritual sky–there are varieties of living entities. Although all these living entities are of one spiritual nature, in quality the same as the Supreme Personality of Godhead, they have varieties of bodies due to the embodiment of the spirit soul by the eight material elements, namely earth, water, fire, air, sky, mind, intelligence, and false ego. In the spiritual world, however, there is no such distinction between the body and the embodied. In the material world, distinctive features are manifested in different types of bodies in the various planets. We have full information from the Vedic literature that in each and every planet, both material and spiritual, there are living entities of varied intelligence. The earth is one of the planets of the Bhurloka planetary system. There are six planetary systems above Bhurloka and seven planetary systems below it. Therefore the entire universe is known as caturdasa-bhuvana, indicating that it has fourteen different planetary systems. Beyond the planetary systems in the material sky, there is another sky, which is known as paravyoma, or the spiritual sky, where there are spiritual planets. The inhabitants of those planets engage in varieties of loving service unto the Supreme Personality of Godhead, which include different rasas, or relationships, known as dasya-rasa, sakhya-rasa, vatsalya-rasa, madhurya-rasa and, above all, parakiyarasa. This parakiya-rasa, or paramour love, is prevalent in Krishnaloka, where Lord Krishna lives. This planet is also called Goloka Vrindavana, and although Lord Krishna lives there perpetually, He also expands Himself in millions and trillions of forms. In one of such forms, He appears on this material planet in a particular place known as Vrindavana-dhama, where He displays His original pastimes of Goloka Vrindavana-dhama in the spiritual sky in order to attract the conditioned souls back home, back to Godhead.

Complete Knowledge of Transcendence

The Supreme Absolute Truth, as it is stated in the revealed scriptures, is very subtle and cannot be understood unless one is self-realized by the grace of the Lord. The Lord says that Brahmā may take the answers as He explains them. This means that transcendental knowledge of the absolute Supreme Being can be known if it is made known by the Lord Himself. By the mental speculation of the greatest mundane thinkers, the Absolute Truth cannot be understood. The mental speculators can reach up to the standard of impersonal Brahman realization, but, factually, complete knowledge of transcendence is beyond the knowledge of impersonal Brahman. Thus it is called the supreme confidential wisdom. Out of many liberated souls, someone may be qualified to know the Personality of Godhead. In the Bhagavad-gītā it is also said by the Lord Himself that out of many hundreds of thousands of people, one may try for perfection in human life, and out of many liberated souls, one may know Him as He is. Therefore, the knowledge of the Personality of Godhead may be attained by devotional service only. Rahasyam means devotional service. Lord Kṛṣṇa instructed Arjuna in the Bhagavad-gītā because He found Arjuna to be a devotee and friend. Without such qualifications, one cannot enter into the mystery of the Bhagavad-gītā. Therefore, one cannot understand the Personality of Godhead unless one becomes a devotee and discharges devotional service. This mystery is love of Godhead. Therein lies the main qualification for knowing the mystery of the Personality of Godhead. And to attain the stage of transcendental love of Godhead, regulative principles of devotional service must be followed. The regulative principles are called vidhi-bhakti, or the devotional service of the Lord, and they can be practiced by a neophyte with his present senses. Such regulative principles are mainly based on hearing and chanting of the glories of the Lord. And such hearing and chanting of the glories of the Lord can be made possible in the association of devotees only. Lord Caitanya therefore recommended five main principles for attaining perfection in the devotional service of the Lord. The first is association with devotees (hearing); second is chanting the glories of the Lord; third, hearing Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam from the pure devotee; fourth, residing in a holy place connected with the Lord; and fifth, worshiping the Deity of the Lord with devotion. Such rules and regulations are parts of devotional service.

Kāmada Ekādaśī

 

The glories of Kamada Ekādaśī are described in the Varaha Purana in the conversation between Lord Krsna and Mahārāja Yudhisthira.

Once Mahārāja Yudhisthira asked Lord Krsna, the crown of the Yadu dynasty, "O Lord Vasudeva! Please accept my humble obeisances. O my Lord! Please describe to me the Ekādaśī that occurs during the waxing moon in the month of March/April. Also explain to me the procedure for observing this Ekādaśī and what its benefits are."

Lord Krsna replied, "My dear Mahārāja Yudhisthira, please hear attentively the description of this Ekadasi which is recorded in the Purana. One time Mahārāja Dilip, the great grandfather of Lord Ramacandra, asked his spiritual master, sage Vasistha, about the name and procedure for observing the Ekādaśī that occurs during the waxing moon in the month of March/April.

"Sage Vasistha replied, 'O King! I will certainly fulfill your desire. The name of this Ekadašī is Kāmadā. This sacred Ekādaśī burns all one's sinful reactions to ashes and awards the observer the privilege of having a son. Now please hear its glories from me.

"Long, long ago there was a city named Ratnapur (Bhogipur). This opulent city was ruled by a king named Pundarika. He was accompanied by his subjects which included the Gandharvas, Kin- naras and the Apsaras. In that city a beautiful Apsară named Lalita and a handsome Gandharva named Lalit lived as husband and wife. They were overwhelmed by each other's love and con- stantly remained engaged in various sporting activities at their opulent house. The love in Lalita's heart for her husband, and the love in Lalit's heart for his wife was so intense that they were unable to tolerate even a movement's separation from each other.

"One time in the court of King Pundarika many Gandharvas were singing and dancing, and Lalit also sang with them without his wife. Due to the absence of Lalitā, Lalit's voice, tune, steps and wordings became faulty. In the audience there was a snake named Karkotaka who knew about this mystery, so he complained to King Pundarika about the actual truth of Lalit's behavior. Then the King became extremely angry and cursed Lalit as follows, 'O sinful one! O fool! Being controlled by the lust of your wife you have disturbed the singing and dancing performance. So I curse you to become a man-eater cannibal.'

"Being cursed by King Pundarika, Lalit immediately trans- formed into a great demon. When Lalita saw her husband's unbelievable and fierce-looking form she became extremely hurt. With intense distress she spent her days and nights simply thinking what to do and where to go. Giving up all embarrassment, she lived with her husband in the forest.

"Once while wandering within the dense forest with her hus- band, Lalita saw the most sacred asrama of the sage Śrīngi situated at the peak of the Vindhya Mountain. Lalita immediately went there and offered her respectful obeisances to the sage. Upon seeing this lady, the sage inquired, 'O beautiful one, who are you? Whose daughter are you? Why have you come here?" Lalitā replied, 'O great soul, I am the daughter of the Gandharva named Viradhanva. My name is Lalitā. I have come here with my cursed husband. O great sage! My husband has become a demon by the curse of the Gandharva King Pundarika. O brāhmaņa! I am greatly distressed by seeing his terrible and ferocious form. O my Lord! Kindly explain to me the process of atonement by which my hus- band can become liberated from the curse. O best of the brāhmanas! Please instruct us in such a way that his demoniac condition of life is removed.' After hearing Lalita's pathetic re- quest, the great sage Śrīngi said, 'O daughter of the Gandharva! In a few days' time an Ekādaśī named Kāmadă which occurs during the waxing moon in the month of March/April will approach. By strictly following the vow of this Ekādaśī all one's desires are fulfilled. O gentle lady! According to my instruction you should observe this vow of Ekādaśī and give the entire merit which you have earned by observing this vow to your husband. Then by the influence of this merit your husband will immediately become freed from the curse.' 

"O King! Being instructed in this way by the sage, Lalita gladly observed the vow of this Ekadasi. On the day of Dvādaśī, Lalită sat in front of the brahmanas and the Supreme Lord Vasudeva and declared, 'I have observed the vow of Kamada Ekadasi to relieve my husband from the curse. Now by the influence of my earned piety let my husband be freed from the demoniac condition of life.' At that time her husband-turned-demon Lalit was present there. As soon as Lalita finished her prayer her demon husband became freed from 'l sins and regained his divine Gandharva form. From that time Lalit and Lalita lived happily together."

Lord Krsna continued, "O Mahārāja Yudhisthira! O best of kings! Anyone who hears this wonderful narration of Kamada Ekādaśī should certainly observe it to the best of his ability. There is no better vow of Ekadasi then this Kamada Ekadasi, for it can eradicate even the sin of killing a brahmana and can counteract the demoniac curses."

How to cross the ocean of material existence without anxiety

 Living the conditional life is just like plying a boat in the middle of the ocean. One is completely at the mercy of the ocean, and at every moment there is every chance of being drowned in the ocean by slight agitation. If the atmosphere is all right, the boat can ply very easily, undoubtedly, but if there is some storm, fog, wind or cloud, there is every possibility of being drowned in the ocean. No one can control the whims of the ocean, however one may be materially well equipped. One who has crossed the oceans by ship may have sufficient experience of such dependence upon the mercy of the ocean. But one can ply over the ocean of material existence by the grace of the Lord very easily, without any fear of storm or fog. It all depends on the will of the Lord; no one can help if there is some unfortunate danger in the state of conditional life. The devotees of the Lord, however, cross the ocean of material existence without anxiety because a pure devotee is always protected by the Lord (Bg. 9.13). The Lord gives special attention to His devotees in their activities within material, conditional life (Bg. 9.29). Therefore everyone should take shelter of the lotus feet of the Lord and be a pure devotee of the Lord by all means.

Hari Nama Sankirtan Movement should follow the footsteps of Narada Muni

svara-brahmaṇi nirbhāta-

hṛṣīkeśa-padāmbuje

akhaṇḍaṁ cittam āveśya

lokān anucaran muniḥ

TRANSLATION

The seven musical notes-ṣa, ṛ, gā, ma, pa, dha and ni-are used in musical instruments, but originally they come from the Sāma Veda. The great sage Nārada vibrates sounds describing the pastimes of the Supreme Lord. By such transcendental vibrations, such as Hare Kṛṣṇa, Hare Kṛṣṇa, Kṛṣṇa Kṛṣṇa, Hare Hare/ Hare Rāma, Hare Rāma, Rāma Rāma, Hare Hare, he fixes his mind at the lotus feet of the Lord. Thus he directly perceives Hṛṣīkeśa, the master of the senses. After delivering the Haryaśvas, Nārada Muni continued traveling throughout the planetary systems, his mind always fixed at the lotus feet of the Lord.

PURPORT

The goodness of the great sage Nārada Muni is described herewith. He always chants about the pastimes of the Lord and delivers the fallen souls back to Godhead. In this regard, Śrīla Bhaktivinoda Ṭhākura has sung:

nārada-muni,           bājāya vīṇā,

'rādhikā-ramaṇa'-nāme

nāma amani,           udita haya,

bhakata-gīta-sāme

amiya-dhārā,           variṣe ghana,

śravaṇa-yugale giyā

bhakata-jana,           saghane nāce,

bhariyā āpana hiyā

mādhurī-pūra,           āsaba paśi',

mātāya jagata-jane

keha vā kāṅde,           keha vā nāce,

keha māte mane mane

pañca-vadana,           nārade dhari',

premera saghana rola

kamalāsana,           nāciyā bale,

'bola bola hari bola'

sahasrānana,           parama-sukhe,

'hari hari' bali' gāya

nāma-prabhāve,           mātila viśva,

nāma-rasa sabe pāya

śrī-kṛṣṇa-nāma,           rasane sphuri',

purā'la āmāra āśa

śrī-rūpa-pade,           yācaye ihā,

bhakativinoda dāsa

The purport of this song is that Nārada Muni, the great soul, plays a stringed instrument called a vīṇā, vibrating the sound rādhikā-ramaṇa, which is another name for Kṛṣṇa. As soon as he strokes the strings, all the devotees begin responding, making a very beautiful vibration. Accompanied by the stringed instrument, the singing seems like a shower of nectar, and all the devotees dance in ecstasy to the fullest extent of their satisfaction. While dancing, they appear madly intoxicated with ecstasy, as if drinking the beverage called mādhurī-pūra. Some of them cry, some of them dance, and some of them, although unable to dance publicly, dance within their hearts. Lord Śiva embraces Nārada Muni and begins talking in an ecstatic voice, and seeing Lord Śiva dancing with Nārada, Lord Brahmā also joins, saying, "All of you kindly chant 'Hari bol! Hari bol!' " The King of heaven, Indra, also gradually joins with great satisfaction and begins dancing and chanting "Hari bol! Hari bol!" In this way, by the influence of the transcendental vibration of the holy name of God, the whole universe becomes ecstatic. Bhaktivinoda Ṭhākura says, "When the universe becomes ecstatic, my desire is satisfied. I therefore pray unto the lotus feet of Rūpa Gosvāmī that this chanting of harer nāma (CC Adi 17.21) may go on nicely like this."

Lord Brahmā is the guru of Nārada Muni, who is the guru of Vyāsadeva, and Vyāsadeva is the guru of Madhvācārya. Thus the Gauḍīya-Mādhva-sampradāya is in the disciplic succession from Nārada Muni. The members of this disciplic succession—in other words, the members of the Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement—should follow in the footsteps of Nārada Muni by chanting the transcendental vibration Hare Kṛṣṇa, Hare Kṛṣṇa, Kṛṣṇa Kṛṣṇa, Hare Hare/ Hare Rāma, Hare Rāma, Rāma Rāma, Hare Hare. They should go everywhere to deliver the fallen souls by vibrating the Hare Kṛṣṇa mantra and the instructions of Bhagavad-gītā, Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam and Caitanya-caritāmṛta. That will please the Supreme Personality of Godhead. One can spiritually advance if one actually follows the instructions of Nārada Muni. If one pleases Nārada Muni, then the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Hṛṣīkeśa, is also pleased (yasya prasādād bhagavat-prasādaḥ). The immediate spiritual master is the representative of Nārada Muni; there is no difference between the instructions of Nārada Muni and those of the present spiritual master. Both Nārada Muni and the present spiritual master speak the same teachings of Kṛṣṇa, who says in Bhagavad-gītā (18.65-66):

man-manā bhava mad-bhakto

mad-yājī māṁ namaskuru

mām evaiṣyasi satyaṁ te

pratijāne priyo 'si me

sarva-dharmān parityajya

mām ekaṁ śaraṇaṁ vraja

ahaṁ tvāṁ sarva-pāpebhyo

mokṣayiṣyāmi mā śucaḥ

"Always think of Me and become My devotee. Worship Me and offer your homage unto Me. Thus you will come to Me without fail. I promise you this because you are My very dear friend. Abandon all varieties of religion and just surrender unto Me. I shall deliver you from all sinful reaction. Do not fear."

Srimad Bhagavatam 6.5.22
