Beautiful Message

A young man was getting ready to Graduate College. For many months he had admired a beautiful sports car in a dealer's showroom, and knowing his father could well afford it, he told him that was all he wanted. As Graduation Day approached, the young man awaited signs that his father had purchased the car. Finally, on the morning of his graduation his father called him into his private study. His father told him how proud he was to have such a fine son, and told him how much he loved him.He handed his son a beautiful wrapped gift box. Curious, but somewhat disappointed the young man opened the box and found a , Holy book "Srimad Bhagavad Gita". Angrily, he raised his voice at his father and said, "With all your money you give me a "Srimad Bhagavad Gita" ?" and stormed out of the house, leaving the holy book. He never contacted his father again for a long time. Many years passed and the young man was very successful in business. He had a beautiful home and a wonderful family, but realized his father was very old and thought perhaps he should go to him.He had not seen him since that graduation day.Before he could make arrangements, he received a telegram telling him his father had passed away, and willed all of his possessions to his son. He needed to come home immediately and take care of things.When he arrived at his father's house, sudden sadness and regret filled his heart. He began to search his father's important papers and saw the still new "Srimad Bhagavad Gita", just as he had left it years ago.With tears, he opened the "Srimad Bhagavad Gita" and began to turn the pages. As he read those words, a car key dropped from an envelope taped behind the "Srimad Bhagavad Gita". It had a tag with the dealer's name, the same dealer who had the sports car he had desired. On the tag was the date of his graduation, and the words PAID IN FULL. How Many Times Do We Miss GOD's Blessings Because They are not Packaged as We Expected? If this touched your heart, please pass it on, does not matter what religion you belong to........The message is for everyone . (

HH Radhanath Maharaj's lectures online

--

Hare Krishna!

Dear Prabhuji,

Please accept my humble obeisances.All glories to Srila Prabhupada.Welcome to the audio video website of ISKCON Chowpatty.

Thanks a lot for encouraging us by listening to the lectures.

Srila Prabhupad says in the purport to the shloka 1.2.18 of Srimad Bhagavatam.

nasta-prayesu abhadresu  nityam bhagavata-sevaya
bhagavaty uttama-shloke bhaktir bhavati naisthiki

that by listening to Srimad Bhagavatam regularly all that is troublesome to the heart is almost completely destroyed, and loving service unto the Personality of Godhead, who is praised with transcendental songs, is



established as an irrevocable fact. The effects of nature's modes of passion





and ignorance, such as lust, desire and hankering, disappear from the heart.Then the devotee is established in goodness, and he becomes completely happy.

Thus Sharing this compassion of Srila Prabhupad, we wish you all the spiritual happiness. We hope that we can serve you nicely. Please listen regularly. That will help you water the bhakti creeper and ensure that it grows nicely.

Your servant

Vaishnava seva dasa
