MAHATMA MADNESS GETTING WORSE

FORGIVE US LORD!

PADA: It looks like Mahatma's forgiveness tour is on hold while he started his new conversations with a bead bag program. Dude! You program kicked out nearly all the people who were chanting on their bead bags. The Hindus who come to your temples on Sunday do not have bead bags and a lot of them eat meat. 

Your program has had devotees banned, beaten, sued, molested and killed. I think it is not going to save you to have a bead bag. Mahatma is a co-founder father of the illicit sex with men, women, children -- and cats? messiahs project, and then he wants us to forgive him for making that program, without ever explaining why he made that program? ys pd angel108b@yahoo.com

BIG TROUBLE DOWN UNDER?

PADA: OK I have no idea who this fellow is. He claims there is a lot of child abuse still going on in ISKCON Australia. And leaders masturbating in front of others and so on. I dunno. But there seems to be a problem with these types of things surfacing in ISKCON from one day to the next. 

If anyone can investigate his claims there, that would be great. I have heard all sorts of rumors over the years of all sorts of things, including gurukuli girls getting abortions in India and who knows what else. You have to ask yourself, why do these types of reports keep surfacing? 

OK some of the reporters are not reliable, perhaps so, but still we have to ask, have these problems been fixed? I know there are some really upset people in Australia. My suggestion is -- you guys organize a forum and get yourselves some type of structure to address things. Otherwise individuals making pot shots here and there is not very effective.

BACK TO JESUS HEAD

PADA: Sorry. I know who is reincarnated as what. The mleccha dharma people are eating animals, and they become them, that is called the law of karma. Meat is called mam-sah. "I will become you (that animal which I eat)." We sow pain and death, we reap the same. What we sow is what we reap. 

That is a simple point, if we make someone else suffer, we will later on. Basically common sense. God already told my atheist lady friend not to eat animals as the Lord in the Heart. She told me -- eating animals causes pain, suffering and death, and it thus is NOT to be done. EVER! How does she know that? Krishna told her in the heart, because she is a compassionate soul -- so Krishna rewarded her with further understanding. 

But yeah, the Christians do not believe in karma, and thus they think all these animals are here for them to make suffer, chop up. cook and eat, that is not correct. I don't have to say anything, what one does to others happens to oneself later on, that is called -- what you sow, so shall ye reap. 

And there are billions of animals eaten every day, and then billions are born every day. That is how it works. We see it every single day. And it is working fine, sowing and reaping. If you do not believe in sowing and reaping, so be it, I do. ys pd

The Story of Putana’s Past Life and Her Revenge Against Lord Krishna

The scriptural account of the demoness Putana’s past life is extremely captivating, sweet, and at the same time, a unique instance of the Supreme Lord’s boundless mercy.

​According to sacred scriptures including the Padma Purana, Bramhavaivarta Purana, and Garga Samhita, Putana was Ratnavali, the daughter (or younger sister) of the demon king Bali, in her previous birth.

​The Awakening of Maternal Affection and Anger in Ratnavali

​In Satya Yuga, when Lord Vishnu incarnated as Vamana Deva and arrived at the sacrificial arena (yajna-shala) of King Bali, Ratnavali was mesmerized by the exquisite charm and beauty of the young dwarf Brahmin. Beholding the serene and captivating form of Vamana Deva, a deep feeling of maternal affection (vatsalya rasa) arose in her heart.

​She mentally expressed her desire: ​"Ah! If only I had such a beautiful child, I would blissfully breastfeed him and fulfill my motherhood!" ​Being the omniscient Lord, Vamana Deva understood the innocent desire of her heart and silently granted her the boon, saying, "Tathastu" (So be it).

​From Maternal Love to Rage and Resolve for Revenge

​However, the narrative soon took a dramatic turn. When Lord Vamana cleverly measured the entire universe (Heaven, Earth, and the Netherworld) in three steps and bound her father Bali with serpent ropes (naga-pasha), Ratnavali's maternal love instantly transformed into intense anger and revenge.

​Deeply enraged by her father's humiliation and deception, she made a venomous vow in her mind: ​"The boy who deceived my father and robbed him of everything—if he ever becomes my child, I shall kill him by feeding him poison!"

Fulfillment of Desire in Dwapara Yuga and the Supreme Mercy of the Lord

​The Supreme Lord is immensely merciful; just as He accepts the love of His devotees, He does not let even the intentions of His enemies go in vain. Ratnavali had formed two distinct resolves:

​Breastfeeding the Lord as her child.

​Taking revenge and killing Him by administering poison. ​In Dwapara Yuga, that very Ratnavali was reborn as the demoness Putana, an accomplice of Kamsa. Upon Kamsa's command, she went to Gokula and attempted to kill the infant Krishna by feeding Him her poisoned breast milk, which was the manifestation of her past-life revenge.

Scriptural Evidence from Srimad Bhagavatam

​In the Srimad Bhagavatam (Canto 10, Chapter 6), it is described that Lord Krishna overlooked Putana’s lethal poison and malicious intent, choosing instead to accept only her initial instinct of maternal care (vatsalya). Under the guise of drinking her milk, the infant Krishna sucked out her life force and killed her; yet, He granted her the exalted spiritual destination of a nursing mother (dhatri)!

​aho bakī yaṁ stana-kālakūṭaṁ

jighāṁsayāpāyayad apy asādhvī

lebhe gatiṁ dhātry-ucitāṁ tato 'nyaṁ

kaṁ vā dayāluṁ śaraṇaṁ vrajema

(Srimad Bhagavatam 3.2.23)

​Translation:

​"Alas! How wonderfully merciful is Lord Krishna! Even though the wicked demoness Putana fed Him her breast milk smeared with deadly poison with the intention to kill Him, He bestowed upon her the position of a surrogate mother. Whom else shall we take shelter of, other than such a merciful Lord?"

​Summary

​In her previous life, Putana sought revenge for Lord Vamana's trickery against her father Bali. As a result of her two contrasting desires—maternal affection and the urge to murder—she attempted to kill Lord Krishna in Dwapara Yuga by feeding Him poisoned milk.
