| Wednesday, November 18th through Tuesday, November 24th, 2009 | | | | | | | | | | From Srila Prabhupada: So Arjuna accepted Krsna as spiritual master. In the beginning, he was talking like friend. Friend to friend, talking, sometimes it comes to nil, no conclusion, simply waste of time. It is called vitanda. That sort of argument has no value. Because it will never come into conclusion. But when we talk with authority, the spiritual master, representative of Krsna, then we cannot argue. We have to accept. Guru-vakya. Guru-vakya, you cannot deny it. It may not be agreeable to you in the beginning, but you cannot deny it. That is it: system of Vedic system. Here Arjuna has accepted Krsna as the spiritual master. Sisyas te aham. "I become Your disciple. Because we were talking till now as friends, but this will not decide the case. My case is very serious. My duty is to fight, but I do not like to fight. Some affection, some family relationship, is deterring me to fight, making me coward. So therefore it is a very complex position. And I find that You can make a solution of this complex position. I therefore accept You as my spiritual master. And I fall down under Your lotus feet as Your disciple." Sadhi mam prapannam. "I am surrendered. Now You kindly protect the surrendered soul." -- "Not One Became Devotee," 11/19/72, Hyderabad, Bhagavad-gita 2.13 | | | | | | New Weekly Classes On Thursdays at 7:00 p.m. there will now be Bhagavad Gita classes given by Narottamananda On Sundays at 8:30 a.m. there will be readings from the Caitanya Caritamrta.
