ANARTHA AND HOW TO OVERCOME THEM


By Bhaktivinoda Thakura

1. Weakness of heart
The four types of weakness are:
1) Attachment to objects not related to Krishna 
2) Deceitfulness or fault-finding
3) Enviousness 
4) Desire for fame 

2. Aparadha - all kinds of offenses
The four types of offenses are:
1) Offenses to the holy name 
2) Offenses to the Deity 
3) Offenses to the devotees 
4) Offenses to other living entities 

3. Asat-trsna - material desires
The four types of material desires are:
1) Desire for material objects 
2) Desire for heavenly comforts 
3) Desire for mystic powers 
4) Desire for liberation 

4. Tattva-vibhrama - illusion about spiritual knowledge
The four types of illusion are:
1) Illusion about one's own identity 
2) Illusion about the Supreme Lord 
3) Illusion about the processes of sadhana and prema-bhakti
4) Illusion regarding subjects unfavorable to Krishna consciousness 

The creeper of devotion can never grow as long as one cannot give up these anarthas.



Srila Prabhupada's Principles :
Preaching is the essence
Books are the basis
Utility is the principle
Purity is the force
Do the needful
First deserve than desire
Work now samadhi later
Love and trust
Acar-Pracar
Vaisnava is a perfect gentlemen.
First dress then address.

KSAMA
Vancha kalpa tarubhyascha, krupa sindhubhya eva cha, patitanam  pavanebhyo, vaishnavebhyo namo namaha.

ANUGRAHA

Most humbly seeking the Prayers & Compassion of all the Vaisnavas, Blessings of Srila Prabhpada, Mercy of Sri Guru & Sri Gauranga, Favor of Acharya Parampara & Grace of the Divine Couple Sri Sri Madhavi Madhava  to always be able to remember them & never forget them and for eternity see things in the mood of  Suddha Prema Bhakti. Beg to attain unflinching faith & Perfection in Pure Love of Krsna which is Unconditional, Unmotivated, Undeviated, Unalloyed, Undivided, Unlimited, Uninterrupted and Continuous.
