Adalah Keunikan Bentuk Kehidupan Manusia. Pertanyaan apakah yang terpenting?

Oleh TD Singh, Ph.D Pertanyaan, jijnasa, merupakan sifat-dasar kehidupan. Setiap orang bertanya tentang suatu hal atau hal lain. Selama hidupnya, seseorang mengalami berbagai fase seperti usia tua, penyakit dan banyak macam penderitaan. Oleh karena itu, kita ingin menemukan solusi masalah-masalah diatas. Setiap karya riset ilmiah merupakan sejenis (usaha untuk) bertanya. Srila Prabhupäda mengatakan bahwa Jikalau seseorang belum naik ke posisi ”mengajukan pertanyaan tentang penderitaan yang dialaminya,” maka dia belum dianggap sebagai seorang manusia sempurna. Kemanusiaan dimulai ketika jenis pertanyaan ini muncul dalam pikirannya. Oleh karena itu, Pertanyaan membentuk proses yang paling penting untuk memperoleh pengetahuan. Kita ingin mengetahui hal-hal yang berada di luar apa yang dapat kita lihat secara biasa. Kita telah menemukan mikroskop elektron, teleskop, dan sebagainya–untuk memuaskan rasa penasaran kita. Namun semua ini belumlah cukup. Indera-indera kita dan perpanjangan indera-indera kita (seperti mikroskop, teleskop, dan lain-lain –ed) masih sangat terbatas. Read the rest of this entry »

dan Langkanya Kelahiran sebagai Manusia

by  DR. T.D. Singh, Ph.D

Dalam pandangan Vedanta, Evolusi didefinisikan sebagai perjalanan partikel-kehidupan yang memiliki kesadaran-sang jiva)-yang jumlahnya tak dapat dihitung dalam ruang dan waktu sebagaimana mereka berpindah-pindah dari satu bentuk badan ke bentuk badan yang lain dibawah Hukum karma (sebab dan akibat). Derajat atau tingkat kesadaran, guna (sifat) dan karma (aktifitas) dari setiap makhluk hidup akan menentukan arah dari jalan evolusinya. Kesalahan Darwin adalah bahwa dia tidak dapat memahami eksistensi kesadaran. Dengan demikian, Vedanta tidak menerima teori evolusi Darwin. Dalam keadaan-keadaan normal, kesadaran berkembang dalam garis lurus dan juga bertambah bijaksana. Badan-badan atau bentuk-bentuk yang berbeda-beda untuk mengakomodasi makhluk dengan kesadaran tertentu telah disusun oleh alam dalam rencana kosmik (mayädhyaksna prakrtih – Bhagavadgétä 9.10). Sebagaimana dinyatakan sebelumnya, Brahmä Vaivarta Purana menjelaskan sebagai, açétià caturaç caiva lakñäàs täï jéva-jätiñu bhramadbhiù puruñaiù präpyaà mänuñyaà janma-paryayät, artinya orang mendapatkan bentuk kehidupan manusia setelah menggantikan 8.4 bentuk-bentuk kehidupan yang lain.

Apakah yang Vedanta sampaikan kepada kita tentang Brahman, Kebenaran Mutlak? Dalam Srimadbhagavatam (1.2.11), kita menemukan tiga kategori Kebenaran Mutlak: vadanti tat tattva-vidas tattvaà yaj jnänam advayam brahmeti paramätmeti bhagavän iti çabdyate Terjemahan: Para Rohaniwan Terpelajar-yang mengetahui Kebenaran Mutlak- menyebut Substansi-Yang-Tunggal itu (Tuhan-ed) dengan tiga sebutan sebagai berikut: Brahman (Yang Mutlak-Yang Tanpa Atribut), Paramätma (Roh Yang Utama yang bersemayam dalam segala sesuatu), atau Bhagavän (Pribadi Tuhan Yang Mahaesa Sendiri). Swami Prabhupäda menjelaskan dalam ulasannya, “Kebenaran Mutlak adalah baik subyek maupun obyek, dan tidak ada perbedaan kualitatif di sana. Oleh karena itu, Brahman, Paramätmä dan Bhagavän secara kualitatif adalah satu dan sama saja. Substansi yang sama diinsyafi sebagai Brahman yang bersifat impersonal oleh penganut Upanisad, sebagai Paramätma yang berada di suatu tempat oleh para Hiranyagarbha atau para yogi, dan sebagai Bhagavän oleh para Bhakta Tuhan. Dengan kata lain, Bhagavän atau Pribadi Tuhan Yang Mahaesa, adalah kata terakhir tentang Kebenaran Mutlak. Paramätmä merupakan representasi sebagian dari Pribadi Tuhan Yang Mahaesa, Brahman yang impersonal merupakan cahaya yang menyilaukan Pribadi Tuhan Yang Mahaesa, seperti halnya sinar matahari dengan matahari sendiri.”²⁹ Read the rest of this entry »

from Back to Godhead, November-December 1995

The Vedic scriptures tell us that Manipur was a Krishna conscious land even more than five thousand years ago. But for the last several centuries the Manipuris have also worshiped various regional semi-historical deities, who hold a place in Manipuri culture even today.

In modern times, worship of Vishnu first gained prominence in Manipur in the fifteenth century, during the reign of King Kyamba. It is said that the Pong king Khekhombha of the Shan kingdom gave Kyamba a Vishnu chakra (the symbolic disc of Vishnu). The presence of the chakra seemed to bring about various supernatural events, so on the advice of brahmanas the king had a temple constructed for it and instituted regular worship. The worship was continued by his descendants.

The philosophy taught by Lord Chaitanya Mahaprabhu was first introduced in the seventeenth century by five disciples of the great devotee Srila Narottama Dasa Thakura. The songs of Srila Narottama Dasa Thakura are still sung throughout Manipur, and his birthday is an occasion of festivities.

Srila Prabhupada wrote a letter to Sripada Maharaja on January 24,1977,

“Manipur has been a historic place for thousands of years. Arjuna married the daughter of the Manipur king and his son became the king. You are therefore descending from the original Kshatriyas. Now you bring the knowledge of Bhagavad-gita, revive Manipur’s Kshatriayism and save Vaisnavìsm. For the purpose of preaching in Manipur, I can go in any condition of life. I have great respect for Manipur which was a Kshatriya kingdom long before Arjuna. You can do it. You are educated and a devotee, and we shall all help you. That is wanted. Everything can be achieved by bhakti. Build a terapie in Manipur like in Vrindavana and Nabadwìpa.” Srila Prabhupada also said during a conversation with Sripada Maharaja, “So I could understand that Manipur has got great potential of bhakti-marga. You descendant of Babhruvahana, Arjuna’s son. So let there be at least one country ideal brahmana, ideal Kshatriya. And people are submissive to Krishna Consciousness. I have seen in Vrindavana and Nabadwipa many Manipuris.”

This clearly shows the intense longing of Srila Prabhupada to revitalize the old Manipuri Vaisnava culture to make Manipur an ideal Vaisnava state in the entire world. Sripada Maharaja’s mission is to translate the aspirations of Srila Prabhupada, his spiritual master, into action as soon as possible.

from Back to Godhead, November-December 1995

Indian Airlines — from Calcutta via Guwahati — has brought us to Imphal. We’re a delegation of Krishna devotees from America, India, France, Italy, Iran, Australia, Singapore, and New Zealand. Hazy grey sky, mountains off in the distance to your left. The air is cool (Calcutta was blazing). We’re up on a plateau, at twenty-five hundred feet.

On the far side of the barbed wire that marks the parking lot from the airfield, an Army guard, turbaned Sikh, looks on patiently, rifle in hand.

A drought is on. This is mid March, supposedly a season of rain showers, but the last rain was in February, and that gave only a little. But, drought aside, today is the second day of the festivities for Holi, the festival of colors.

A group of devotees meet us and festoon us with fluffy garlands of cotton thread — bright red, white, green, yellow, with some silvery tinsel mixed in. Then we’re into a jeep, some cars, and Maruti vans, and on our way to our temple.

We get down a few blocks early: We’re in for a big reception. Awaiting us, lining the road, stand rows and rows of men and women, dressed in garments of bright Holi colors — solid red and pink-scarlet — with drums, cymbals, double conches. The faces are Chinese-Tibetan, and the chanting is Hare Krishna, loud and strong, in a unique Manipuri style.

People pour big pots of water on our feet and toss handfuls of flaked rice into the air — an auspicious greeting. In the midst of it all, Manipuri faces behind video cameras get it all on tape. (Sony has made it to Manipur.)

Ceremonies in the temple, some refreshments, some rest, and we’re off for sankirtana at the temple of Govindaji (Krishna, the source of all pleasure). The Deity of Govindaji is the ultimate object of love and devotion for people throughout Manipur, and today people have come to see Him and celebrate Him from all over the state.

In the courtyard of the temple, crowds arrive in parties for sankirtana (congregational chanting)— drummers, cymbal players, conch blowers, banner carriers — singing the glories of Govindaji.

The mood is joyful, and part of the fun is the traditional Holi spraying of colors — water dyed red or pink or purple, sucked up from vats and shot up into the air and onto the crowds from brass syringes the size of rifles. Everyone sprays and gets sprayed, so your clothes and face and arms and all of you gets thoroughly parti-colored. The fun goes on well into the night.

The next morning things have calmed down, the dye (less tenacious than in Calcutta) has mostly washed off your skin, and we’re off to Moirang, about thirty miles south. Along the way, bands of young girls at intervals barricade the road with rope or bamboo, demanding a rupee to let your car pass. In Manipur that’s another Holi tradition. Everyone gives.

In Manipur the Holi celebrations go on for six days. The markets close, and sankirtana parties travel from place to place, chanting the holy names of the Lord — Hare Krishna, Hare Krishna, Krishna Krishna, Hare Hare/ Hare Rama, Hare Rama, Rama Rama, Hare Hare.

On our way to the city of Moirang, we stop at several towns along the road. At each stop, arrangements have been made for us to witness a performance of sankirtana. Sankirtana in Manipur is a highly cultivated art. Professional and semi-professional groups perform at birth ceremonies, weddings, festivals, and other such occasions. Usually, several groups perform at every function.

A typical performance takes place at Bishnupur, a fair-sized town (signs on shops: “Vishnu Pharmacy,” “Sanjit Video Parlor”). To start the sankirtana, the first group shouts out, “Gauranga Mahaprabhu ki jaya!” (“All glories to Lord Chaitanya Mahaprabhu,” the incarnation of Krishna who especially spread the chanting of the holy name of God, five hundred years ago.) Then the drumming begins.

This is power drumming, with five or seven pungs (Manipuri mridanga drums). Complex rhythms swirl into one another, punctuated by cymbals played with equal finesse. And the drummers dance with acrobatic virtuosity, tightly choreographed. The drummers play and dance with a look of serious, determined intensity, We’re reminded that Manipur has been a kingdom of kshatriyas, royal warriors, people you don’t want to mess with.

The drumming leads into the singing, songs glorifying the Lord. The melodies are attuned to the seasons. The melodies now are those of spring.

Groups take their turns drumming, dancing, and singing, groups of boys, of men, and of women also, the women dressed traditionally in lotus pink.

As each performance ends, the singers and dancers offer obeisances, and at the end of it all, prasadam is distributed (food eaten after first offered to Krishna) — tangerines and apples — and then we’re back on the road.

At Moirang we have another temple and ashram of ISKCON (the International Society for Krishna Consciousness). There, more sankirtana performances and then lunch prasadam. In Manipur the preparation, offering, and distribution of prasadam are also highly cultivated arts. The devotees offer Krishna many delicious varieties of food, made from what’s locally in season. The spicing is sometimes mild, sometimes fiery. Among the special items: vegetables and salads made with the roots of lotuses.

The plates themselves are made of banana leaves or lotus leaves, with the various items of food placed in boat-shaped cups, again fashioned from leaves of banana or lotus.

For the next several days, in the afternoons and early evenings we visit friends and ISKCON members at their homes. There we perform our own sankirtana and speak a little bit about Krishna. This too is part of the Manipuri Holi tradition: sankirtana groups go from home to home, chanting the glories of the Lord.

One ISKCON member whose home we visit is Sri Radhabinod Koijam, the deputy chief minister of Manipur. We chant in his courtyard, and afterwards he gives a few words of thanks: “By your visit, by your presence, our state is blessed, and my home is blessed today. By chanting the names of Lord Chaitanya and Lord Krishna — we are convinced — we can have peace, and we can relieve any problems affecting the state.”

Problems there are. Local political movements are in tension with the Indian central government. And the traditional culture of Manipur is in tension with the outside world.

We saw this graphically the last night we were there. As part of a cultural program, an ensemble of tribal people put on a demonstration of their traditional folk dances. Colorful and lively, this was a fairly slick performance by hill people now accustomed to city life in Imphal.

What wasn’t expected, though, was their last number, “The Fashion Show.” For this one, the flutes, gongs, and bass drums gave way to a tape of 1950’s American top 40. The young men and women who in the previous hour, dressed in blue and red indigenous costumes, had regaled us with such items as their harvest dance now lined up in Western-cut suits and satiny dresses and high heels and, one at a time, came forward to sensuously pose and posture in a perfectly serious and perfectly incongruous mimicry of what the world expects from Paris.

Defenders of Manipur, you have your task before you!

After an evolutionary process of transmigration of the soul under the influence and supervision of the material modes of nature, a living entity is awarded the human formof life, as a chance of getting out from the cycle of birth and death. These divisions are made on the level of consciousness developed through the association of the modes of material nature.

By the inconceivable mercy of Lord Sri Krishna, I met His Divine Grace Sri Srimad A C Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada, the Founder-Acharya of the International Society for Krishna Consciousness (ISKCON) in early 1970, in New Dwaraka (Los Angeles, U.S. A.) while I was working for my Ph. D. in Physical Organic Chemistry at the University of California, Irvine. I felt that this was my greatest fortune and in my heart I accepted him as my spiritual master immediately. I was formally initiated as his disciple in 1971.
Srila Prabhupada kindly gave several instructions to this insignificant servant during a span of eight years (1970-1977) on how to present the science and philosophy of Krishna Consciousness to the leaders and intellectuals of the world in general and specifically to the scientists. I received many training sessions from him in the form of morning walk conversations during which he would mercifully engage me in profound debates on science and spirituality. Some of these conversations have been published by the Bhaktivedanta Book Trust (BBT) in the book ‘Life Comes From Life’. In my humble opinion, this book is one of the greatest critiques on modern life sciences  to date.
Srila Prabhupada also instructed that I should build a temple in Manipur which should be a center for the cultivation of, in the words of Srila Prabhupada, ‘Scientific Vaishnava Culture’. Sri Sri Radha-Krishnachandra Manimandir, the centerpiece of the University of Bhagavata Culture is a humble attempt to execute this divine order.
I humbly offer my deep gratitude to all the noble Vaishnava devotees of the Lord and many well-wishing friends from around the world for their generous support of this project. I am also very grateful for the hard work and long hours put in by my many assistants and all those who worked tirelessly with so much love and dedication, sacrificing all their personal comforts for the sake of this project. Without their help this project would never have been possible. I am especially grateful for the selfless service of Sri D. Upasni, the well-known architect of Mumbai, who gave his professional services free of any charges. I sincerely pray for the unlimited blessings of Sri Sri Radha Krishnachandra upon all of them eternally.

THE PURPOSE OF KNOWLEDGE

Sri Srimad  A C Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada
Founder-Acharya of the University of Bhagavata Culture
idam hi pumsas tapasah srutasya va
svistasya suktasya ca buddhi-dattayoh
avicyuto ‘rthah kavibhir nirùpito
yad-uttamasloka-gunànuvarnanam
- SB 1:5:22
“Learned circles have positively concluded that the infallible purpose of the
advancement of knowledge, namely austerities, study of the Vedas, sacrifice,
chanting of hymns and charity, culminates in the transcendental descriptions of the
Lord, who is defined in choice poetry.”

Human intellect is developed for advancement of learning in art, science, philosophy, physics, chemistry, psychology, economics, politics, etc. By culture of such knowledge the human society can attain perfection of life. This perfection of life culminates in the realization of the Supreme Being, Visnu. The sruti therefore directs that those who are actually advanced in learning should aspire for the service of Lord Visnu. Unfortunately persons who are enamored by the external beauty of visnu-màyà do not understand that culmination of perfection or self-realization depends on Visnu. Visnu-màya means sense enjoyment, which is transient and miserable. Those who are entrapped by visnu-mayà utilize advancement of knowledge for sense enjoyment. Sri Nàrada Muni has explained that all paraphernalia of the cosmic universe is but an emanation from the Lord out of His different energies because the Lord has set in motion, by His inconceivable energy, the actions and reactions of the created manifestation. They have come to be out of His energy, they rest on His energy, and after annihilation they merge into Him. Nothing is, therefore, different from Him, but at the same time the Lord is always different from them.
When advancement of knowledge is applied in the service of the Lord, the whole process becomes absolute. The Personality of Godhead and His transcendental name, fame, glory, etc., are all nondifferent from Him. Therefore, all the sages and devotees of the Lord have recommended that the subject matter of art, science, philosophy, physics, chemistry, psychology and all other branches of knowledge should be wholly and solely applied in the service of the Lord. Art, literature, poetry, painting, etc., may be used in glorifying the Lord. The fiction writers, poets and celebrated litterateurs are generally engaged in writing of sensuous subjects, but if they turn towards the service of the Lord they can describe the transcendental pastimes of the Lord. Valmìki was a great poet, and similarly Vyàsadeva is a great writer, and both of them have absolutely engaged themselves in delineating the transcendental activities of the Lord and by doing so have become immortal. Similarly, science and philosophy also should be applied in the service of the Lord. There is no use presenting dry speculative theories for sense gratification philosophy and science should be engaged to establish the glory of the Lord. Advanced people are eager to understand the Absolute Truth through the medium of science, and therefore a great scientist should endeavor to prove the existence of the Lord on a scientific basis. Similarly, philosophical speculations should be utilized to establish the Supreme Truth as sentient and all-powerful. Similarly, all other branches of knowledge should always be engaged in the service of the Lord. In the Bhagavad-gità also the same is affirmed. All “knowledge” not engaged in the service of the Lord is but nescience. Real utilization of advanced knowledge is to establish the glories of the Lord, and that is the real import. Scientific knowledge engaged in the service of the Lord and all similar activities are all factually hari-kirtana, or glorification of the Lord.

My Dear Mahārāja,

Danḍavat. All glories to Your Divine Grace. Jaya Śrīla Prabhupāda.

Although I have met your several times until March 2006, I have never written any letter to you. I hope and pray that you will accept this posthumous offering at your lotus feet.

As I sat for my work today one e-mail popped from my dear god-brother in Calcutta, Shyāmāramaṇa dāsa. The news of your passing away came a bit untimely and unexpectedly. For a long moment I cast away all the work that I was doing and meditated on the lesson that you were teaching me : we have to be Kṛṣṇa conscious every moment. It might be my turn next. Who knows ? You are an Ācārya in your glorious passing as much as you were while you walked this planet.

Mahārāja, faint memories come flooding back as I meditate on your glorious passing. It is so wonderful that despite not being our body we take such pleasure in the philosophy of personalism through intimate association Vaiṣṇavas. Your life was a living lesson. Although I didn’t get your association the way some of your disciples, friends or well wishers did, I salute you from a distance with a pained heart. You are, in more than many ways, my hero. You are an Ācārya in your glorious passing as much as you were while you walked this planet.

I don’t remember the first time I met you: it was probably in the Māyāpura Candrodaya temple, probably back in the early 90s. I have seen you many times since then. I, however, remember you the last time I saw you. You had walked out of the Bhaktivedānta Institute bus that stood on one of the parks of the Candrodaya temple. Although I had been re-introduced to you by Shyāmāramaṇa prabhu, your disciple Shyāmārāni’s brother, I had not been able to talk to you at that moment. I took the opportunity to talk to you when I saw you coming out of the bus. I never thought that it would be my last meeting with you. You had asked me about my service and I remember you hearing, thinking and responding back when I said that HH Tamāl Kṛṣṇa Gosvāmī, my spiritual master, had encouraged me to “follow up” his academic work and preaching. I remember your encouragement and am thankful for your blessings for being able to do this service at Oxford University right now. I look up to you as one of the first academic preachers in ISKCON, and understand through your example how much Śrīla Prabhupāda wanted some devotees to talk to atheistic professors, scholars and scientists presenting them pure Kṛṣṇa Consciousness in their own language. You are an Ācārya in your glorious passing as much as you were while you walked this planet.

Beyond all that, Mahārāja, I know your heart is always with Kṛṣṇa and his dear devotees, especially Śrīla Prabhupāda. Please bless me that no matter how much I falter in my attempts to be steady devotee, one day I can follow your footsteps and make my life successful by remembering Kṛṣṇa intensely with loving devotion when I leave my body.

You have set an example for everybody in your passing : like your own spiritual master you were in the battlefield till the last moment. Like Śrīla Bhaktisiddhānta Saraswati Prabhupāda you left your body in Calcutta while preaching. I admire you as my ṣiksā guru and look up to you with awe and reverence. You are an Ācārya in your glorious passing as much as you were while you walked this planet.

The next time I see you on this planet, you would be situated in samādhi in your well deserved and rightful place : on the banks of Rādhā Kunḍa. The next time I shall perform circumambulation of the holy dhāma of Vṛndāvana, I shall surely come and pray for your inspiration that I may never be diverted from my service or be diverted from Kṛṣṇa by making my service a material affair. Please bless me so that one day I can become perfect one day and join you and your other godbrothers in nitya-līlā as a subservient assistant. For you are an Ācārya in your glorious passing as much as you were while you walked this planet.

The following is a summary of a talk given by His Holiness Bhaktisvarupa Damodara Swami on May 21, 2002, at 26 Second Avenue. Maharaja holds a doctorate in chemistry and has devoted his life, at Srila Prabhupada.s request, to engaging scientists and mathematicians in the development of scientific proofs to support spiritual knowledge.

Can we make a living being by assembling some chemical ingredient?

My personal relationship with Prabhupada was based on preaching. Prabhupada’s thesis was life comes from life, and it remained so from the moment I met him to the day he passed away in Vrindavan. In that last onemonth, Prabhupada was generally awake from midnight on. At thosetimes, he spoke mostly in the Bengali language. He often discussed the conceptthat life comes from life, because it is the foundation of Krishna consciousness,whether one takes the philosophical, theological, or scientific viewpoint.

Life comes from life means we all come from Krishna. Krishna is the originof everything. That was Prabhupada’s very strong instruction. In May 1977, Prabhupada’s secretary, Tamal Krishna Goswami, ordered all GBC members to come to Vrindavan, because Prabhupada was ill. In May of that year the first gathering of all the leaders of our society was held in Vrindavan. By Krishna’s arrangement, I was in Vrindavan at that time. With so many devotees gathered there, we conceived the idea of organizing a conference to discuss the science of

Krishna consciousness. I suggested to Prabhupada that we call it the Bhaktivedanta Conference and that we hold it regularly for generations

to come. Prabhupada said, “If we call it the Bhaktivedanta Conference, scientists may not take it very seriously. It is better to call it the First International

Conference on Life Comes from Life.” That was Prabhupada’s position.

We organized the conference very hurriedly, and within one month the

plans were finalized. The conference would be held in Vrindavan, October 14-16, 1977. After the dates were set, I went to Boston where the other Bhaktivedanta Institute scientists were preparing monographs and booklets for presentation

at the conference. When I returned to Vrindavan in August, Prabhupada was on his way to the United States. He was supposed to go to Gita-nagari farm, in Pennsylvania, but his health was failing and from London he returnedto Vrindavan. Realizing he hadn’t much time remaining, Prabhupada said again and again, “Do something before I depart. I want to see that conference.”

My dear Maharaja,

Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada.

We are missing you terribly today, after your sudden departure from this realm of mortality to the service of Srila Prabhupada in eternity.

My thoughts turn to my earliest association with you. I had been suffering from a relapse of jaundice in Bombay, and Srila Prabhupada said that as long as I remained there I would be unable to recover. So I returned to the United States for treatment, and after spending about five days in Chicago, proceeded to Los Angeles.

There, you were continuing your association with the devotees and going on your famous morning walks with Srila Prabhupada, discussing the principle of “life comes from life” and the importance of scientific preaching. As I gradually recovered from my illness, I was able to accompany you and Srila Prabhupada on some of the walks and to be in Srila Prabhupada’s room when you and sometimes Dr. Wolf-Rottkay came to meet him. Hearing your discussions, I was struck by your humility and simplicity–and by your open and intimate relationship with Srila Prabhupada. He had so much love for you and put so much trust in you–and surely, his great hopes for you were not disappointed. Your patent sincerity, combined with your intellectual prowess, were strong qualifications for understanding Srila Prabhupada and his teachings and mission–and the specific mission he gave to you. You took all of his words to heart and were so enthusiastic to take up his call. Obviously, you were a very pure devotee from your birth, from your culture, and in Srila Prabhupada’s association your natural devotion was encouraged and manifested. It was like a jewel that Srila Prabhupada mined and cut and polished–and then held out to sparkle for the world, for all the world’s the benefit.

Earlier in 1973, a scientist had come to the university and given a lecture on how life had arisen from a combination of four primordial elements: carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, and oxygen. With so many technical words and diagrams and formulas, he tried to establish that life had come from these material elements. At the end of the presentation you had stood and inquired, “If I give you these ingredients, will you be able to produce life?” And the scientist had replied, “That I do not know.” Srila Prabhupada was so pleased and proud of you that he spoke of the incident in his lectures and conversations–how “our Svarupa Damodara” had challenged the scientist and defeated the notion that life comes from matter.

Perdamaian merupakan hak asasi setiap makhluk hidup, tidak hanya bagi manusia tetapi juga bagi hewan dan tumbuh-tumbuhan, dan semua makhluk hidup.

—-Dr. Singh

Ada dua komponen pengetahuan yang harus dimengerti agar perdamaian dalam masyarakat manusia dapat dicapai yaitu:

1. 1. Mengetahui Makna Sejati Kehidupan?

Apakah sebenarnya kehidupan itu? pertama-tama kita harus mengerti apa itu kehidupan ‘What is life?”. Keseluruhan peradaban atau kultur Kesadaran Krishna atau Kesadaran akan Tuhan Yang Maha Esa adalah untuk mengetahui ilmu pengetahuan tentang kehidupan. Ilmu pengetahuan (sains) modern yang bersifat Reduksionisme[*] telah mengantarkan kita ke arah pemahaman akan kehidupan yang bersifat materialistis. Setelah tragedi WTC tanggal 9 November 2001, perubahan drastis terjadi dalam paradigma (kehidupan). Para ilmuwan sekarang ingin mengetahui tentang Tuhan dan mengapa orang-orang religius bisa bertindak seperti itu (menteror/jadi teroris). Oleh karena itu, saya katakan, banyak hal baik sedang terjadi sebagai akibat tragedi WTC itu. Kejadian itu bagaikan membawa sesuatu yang bagus, membawa angin segar, karena ada perubahan dalam sikap para ilmuwan benar-benar drastis berdasarkan pengamatan saya. Oleh karena itu, sekarang adalah kesempatan bagus bagi kita membawa/memasukkan tentang bahasan/pengetahuan. Ultimate nature of reality (sifat sejati realitas tertinggi), yang sering dibicarakan, ke dalam paradigma spiritual. Kesadaran Krishna (pengetahuan spritual Veda) ini menyediakan interface, penghubung antara sains dan spritualitas. Usaha gabungan antara sains dengan spritualitas akan menghantarkan sebuah perdamaian baru bagi dunia.

Menguak misteri keistimewaan Kehidupan Manusia.

Oleh T.D. Singh, Ph.D

Founder of Vedanta and Science Educational Reasearch Foundation,

Kolkata and Sambalpur, India.

(Kita sudah sering mendengar bahwa kehidupan sebagai manusia adalah kehidupan yang paling istimewa dan paling sempurna. Apakah itu benar? Jika ya, dalam hal apa ? Bukankah kehidupan manusia dengan kehidupan makhluk lainnya sama saja? Sama-sama makan, berketurunan, tidur, membela diri dan kesamaan lainnya. Lalu jika memang benar kehidupan manusia itu istimewa atau sempurna, bagaimanakah itu? Simaklah jawabnnya pada ulasan ilmiah akan ajaran Vedanta berikut ini-ed)

Apa itu Vedanta?

Vedanta¹ dikatakan sebagai bentuk risalah ilmiah dan keagamaan yang paling tinggi  warisan peradaban dan spiritual India. Kata Vedanta adalah gabungan kata Sanskerta, dengan menggabungkan dua kata – Veda dan anta. Veda berarti pengetahuan dan anta berarti akhir. Dengan demikian, kata Vedanta berarti puncak pengetahuan atau pengetahuan kebenaran yang Tertinggi. Harus dicatat bahwa kata Vedanta tidak hanya merujuk kepada kitab  Vedänta-sütra melainkan juga seluruh kesusasteraan Veda yang menjelaskan kesimpulan-kesimpulan akhir Veda, terutama kitab-kitab sebagai berikut: Bhagavad-gitä, Srimadbhägavatam, Upanisad-upanisad, dan sebagainya. (Vedanta) Adalah sains spiritual yang merupakan dasar segala pengetahuan, sa brahma-vidyä sarva-vidyä pratisthä (Munduka Upanisad 1.1.1).

Dalam Vedanta tidak pernah terjadi pertentangan antara sains dan spiritualitas. Ini adalah hal yang unik dalam pemikiran India. Hal ini disebabkan karena kenyataan bahwa sains lebih banyak mempelajari alam material sedangkan Vedanta mempelajari baik alam material maupun alam spiritual. Alam spiritual mencakup studi yang lebih dalam terhadap realitas-realitas di luar alam material, yakni di luar atom dan molekul ’beyond atom and mollecules’. Jadi Vedanta menginsyafi keberadaan sang jiwa, ätman dan kesadaran, cetana, kualitas atau sifat dasar sang jiwa. Dengan kata lain, Vedanta menyediakan sebuah latar belakang yang lengkap dan terperinci untuk membuktikan bahwa terdapat sebuah dimensi realitas yang lain, termasuk realitas tentang keberadaan Tuhan, yang dapat dirasakan melalui indra-indra dan pikiran spiritual. Dengan demikian, seorang ilmuwan yang memiliki sedikit latar belakang dalam Vedanta tidak mempunyai kesulitan untuk melihat peranan yang berbeda yang sains dan spiritualitas sediakan dalam pencarian pengetahuan. Keduanya saling melengkapi satu sama lain. Saat ini, kebanyakan ilmuwan tidak membuka diri terhadap spiritualitas. Karenanya, penting sekali untuk memasukkan paradigma spiritualitas ke dalam studi ilmiah.

Sütra didefinisikan sebagai sebuah aforisme atau sandi atau rumus yang mengekspresikan esensi pengetahuan dengan jumlah kata minimum. Ia harus dapat diterapkan secara universal dan tanpa kesalahan dalam penyajian kebahasaan maupun filosofisnya. Vedänta-sütra (VS) terdiri dari aforisme-aforisme atau rumus-rumus yang mengungkapkan kesimpulan-kesimpulan pengetahuan kebenaran Veda dalam bentuk yang sangat padat. Vedäntasütra disusun oleh Srila Vyäsadeva²,

SUTRA PERTAMA Vedänta-sütra (VS. 1.1.1) berbunyyi sebagai berikut:

athato brahmä-jijnäsä

atha– sekarang ; atah– oleh karena itu ; Brahma– Brahman, Kebenaran Mutlak, Tuhan; jijnäsä– bertanya.

Terjemahan: “Oleh karena itu, sekarang, orang hendaknya bertanya tentang hakikat Brahman,Kebenaran Mutlak, atau Tuhan.”

Making Sure the Foundation is Strong!

Lecture on Srimad Bhagavatam 3.25.16-18/Teachings of Lord Kapila, the son of Devahuti

by Sri Srimad Bhaktisvarupa Damodara Swami

on Oct.28, 1988 in San Francisco, CA

“So these verses are extremely important for making a deeper understanding and also commitment to our even day to day activity of devotional life. It is said that unless one is freed from, it’s called, kama and lobha, kama means this lusty desire, lobha means greedy, greedy desire, so unless these are purified from the mind it will be extremely difficult to be engaged in any steady type of devotional service. So this is the background of Krsna conscious activity. You can say that I’m trying to become a devotee but this is the foundation where to start with, where to start that devotional activity. So this kama/lobha, the root cause of being attracted to kama and lobha is that the living entity is somehow so much under the influence of the modes of material nature, especially raja guna and tamo guna, the passion and ignorance. When passion and ignorance dominate a person then he is generally, the symptoms are like this kama and lobha, attraction to kama and lobha, kama means lusty desires and lobha means greedy desires. So these are very strongly mentioned here. So, by practice of devotional process, devotional service, one must try to be purified of these attractions. That is actually the background. One’s mind must become purified. In that pure state, when the mind becomes purified from kama and lobha, then what happens is that then he transcends all these material hankerings and he’ll be situated properly.  So he’s no more influenced by either happiness or distress, in other words he’s becoming equipoised. The mind becomes very steady. That is the beginning platform of Krsna consciousness. So unless we can’t even do that then we are far, far, far and long, long, we are long, long behind or far, far behind our practice of Krsna consciousness. Then what is the result? It says, once one begins that as the basic foundation. Tada purusam atmanam. At that time the soul can see himself to be transcendental to material existence. In other words the quality of atma is called svayam-jotir. Svayam jotir means self-effulgent. He’s shining. The self is shining. This atma, the nature of atma is shining with this transcendental consciousness. But the pure nature of the atma can only be visible, can only be understood, can only realized when you are completely free from kama and Read the rest of this entry »

By His Holiness Mahanidhi Swami

5th of October of 2006

(Berikut adalah pelajaran atau renungan Mahanidhi Swami pada prosesi Samadhi Srila Sripada Maharaja di Gopalji Mandir Radha Kunda, yang merupakan penjelasan detail bagaimana  Srila Sripad Maharaj selalu bermeditasi kepada Radha Krishna Lila, khususnya Rasa-Lila dan Lila Radha Krishna Di Radha Kunda, sembari sibuk menjalankan perintah gurunya. Mahanidhi Swami mengatakan Srila Sripada Maharaj kelihatannya sibuk mengajarkan kesana-kemari, keliling dunia, ikut dalam berbagi kegiatan Perdamaian Dunia dan kegiatan lainnya. Sibuk dalam membangun berbagai Proyek tetapi di dalam hati penuh akan bara cinta kepada Radha dan Krishna, bagaikan para Gopi yang selalu menyembunyikan Cintanya. Selamat menikmati-ed)

Srila Sripada Maharaj Ki .....Jay

Mahanidhi Swami: Salah satu brahmacari telah menjelaskan detail tentang bagaimana… Sripada… meninggalkan dunia ini…, Sripada Bhaktisvarupa Damodara Goswami. Kita akan mencoba untuk memberikan perhatian lebih detail tentang proses tersebut, dan kita akan mengulangi beberapa keterangan dan memberikan penjelasan lebih lanjut tentang apa yang terjadi. Satu hal lagi, brahmacari itu… siapa namanya?

Para Penyembah (menjawab):  Vrajendrakumara.

Mahanidhi Swami: Vrajendrakumara… ia telah menjelaskan, ketika ia bertemu, pada malam hari, ketika ia bertemu Guru Maharaja, sekitar jam 10:30. Ia berkata ia melihat jam dan saat itu sekitar jam 10:30 malam, ketika Sripada mengeluh tentang rasa sakit.

Tetapi Vrajendra kumar mengatakan walaupun Sripada merasakan sakit pada pundak dan tangannya, Beliau tersenyum dan menunjukkan perasaan yang sangat gembira dan riang. Ia tidak pernah melihat Guru Maharaja berada dalam keadaan gembira seperti itu. Saya berusaha menangkap apa yang vrajendrakumar katakan. Saat itu Guru Maharaja sangat bersinar dan sangat bahagia, dan bahkan seperti bermain-main. Beliau seperti sedang bermain-main. Beliau mengambil tongkat dan berkata: “Hei.. hei.., kamu anjing tidur! Hei, kamu brahmacari! Kamu seperti anjing tidur, mengapa kamu tidur di saat seperti ini? Tidak tahukah kamu jam berapa ini? Saat ini jam 10:48. Ini merupakan awal dari Nishanta lila. ini merupakan awal dari Rasa Lila.”

Sekarang, mari kita uraikan semuanya bersama-sama. Saya mendengarkan cerita ini dengan sangat jelas sekali.

Vijaya Dasami, 2006

The Glorious Dissappearance of Srila Bhaktisvarupam Damodara Swami Sripada Maharaja

Written by: Bhaktisvarupa Damodara Maharaja’s servants
attending Him in Calcutta

Bhaktisvarupa Damodara Maharaja, beloved spiritual son of Srila A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada, disappeared from this mortal world during the Ratrilila period of Lord Sri Krishna’s Astakaliya lila on Vijaya Dasami, which according to this year’s Panchangam, is the most auspicious day of this calendar year, 2006. Bhaktisvarupa Damodara Maharaja’s disappearance took place in Calcutta, the holy appearance place (Janmasthan) of his divine master Srila Prabhupada. Calcutta is also the holy site from which His Divine Grace Bhaktisiddhanta Saraswati Thakur chose to disappear. Due to Bhaktisvarupa Damodara Maharaja’s deep and intense love for his divine master Srila Prabhupada, he not only chose Calcutta as his place of work but also as his place of disappearance.

Bhaktisvarupa Damodara Maharaja’s unwillingness to compromise on Srila Prabhupada’s instructions is well known and we hope that his dedication to Srila Prabhupada’s instructions will serve as an illustrious example for the world-wide devotee community, now and for all times to come.

(The following is a letter read to the devotees at ISKCON Atlanta’s memorial service for HH Bhakti Svarupa Damodara Swami’s from our GBC, HH Hridayananda das Goswami.

HDG letter captures the mood of the devotees in Atlanta ISKCON. Atlanta was particularly dear to Bhaktisvarupa Damodara Swami because he began the Bhaktivedanta Institute here.)

I first met His Holiness Bhakti Swarupa Damodara Swami in the early 70’s when he began to visit the Los Angeles temple. I would especially see him whenever Srila Prabhupada came to New Dvaraka. Thoudam Singh, as we first knew him, was a very sincere, devoted, humble young man who was earning his PhD at the University of Calfiornia at Irvine, which is about one hour south of Los Angeles.

Nirmala Deshpande led a delegate of 22 Indians consisting of two other Members of the Parliament – Sri S.K. Kharventhan (Tamilnadu), Mr. Mohammad Salim (West Bengal), 19 other social activists, religious leaders and university professors went for a 4 day trip to Pakistan. I was one of the delegates. For most of us this was our first trip to Pakistan. We went from New Delhi Station by Shatabdi Express through Amritsar and arrived in Lahore after walking for some distance from the Indian border to Pakistan border in the afternoon of August 26. Our Pakistani hosts welcomed us with great affection. Some young boys and ladies, youths and some elderly people garlanded all the Indian delegates. Among them a small sweet child with a welcome sign in his hand had attracted my attention.

By Lilavati Devi Dasi and Shachirani Devi Dasi

Rendering service to the person Bhagavata, or the pure servant of God, is described throughout the Vedic literature as being more effective and more pleasing to the Lord than rendering service to the Supreme Lord directly. The person Bhagavata comes in the line of a genuine disciplic succession from the Lord, and through the disciplic succession the divine principle is transmitted to the humble spiritual aspirant. His Holiness Bhaktisvarupa Damodara Swami, also known as Sripada Maharaja, rendered sincere and loving service to his spiritual master, Srila Prabhupada, who belonged to the spiritual lineage of the Brahma-Madhva-Gaudiya-sampradaya. Sripada Maharaja was thus an ideal example of bhagavata-sevarpanam—offering service unto the Bhagavata.

Sripada Maharaja was born in the ancient Vaishnava kingdom of Manipur, in northeast India, on December 9, 1937. It was the holy day known as Odana-shashthi, when Lord Jagannatha is given new clothes. His parents were Sri Yogendra Singh and Srimati Kanyahanbi Devi. Being Vaishnavas, they named their child Damodara, one of the holy names of Lord Sri Krishna. Sri Yogendra Singh was a devotional singer in the Nata Sankirtana tradition, and so from the very moment of Damodara’s appearance in this world, his father filled his son’s ears with the devotional sounds of the holy names and pastimes of the Supreme Lord.

Welcome To Bali Maharaj

Ditulis oleh Ananta Vijaya dasa

Awalnya sebelum Sripada Maharaj datang ke Bali atas karunia Guru dan Krishna saya mendapatkan pergaulan dari HDG Goura Govinda Swami Gurudev. Dari awal perasaan saya telah terpupuk untuk mendapatkan diksa dari Beliau. Namun apa boleh buat, pada tahun 1996 Srila Gurudev mendadak meninggalkan kita, pulang kepada Krishna. Dari sejak itu penyembah dari line-nya (murid dan pengikut-ed) Srila Gurudev kebingungan siapa yang bisa melanjutkan untuk memberikan pergaulan kepada kami. Akhirnya melalui seorang penyembah yang tulus hati, Prabhu Chaitanya Candra memerintahkan Murid-murid Gurudev untuk mengundang Srila Sripada Maharaja untuk datang ke Bali memberikan pergaulan. Dari sejak itulah kami sering mencari-cari segala sesuatu yang berhubungan dengan Beliau (Sripada Maharaj-ed), seperti foto-fotonya, tembang-tembang bhajan beliau dan lain sebagainya.
