Ur Eternal Protector…….

Protection is offered to a devotee even from the very beginning of his devotional service. Kaunteya pratijanihi na me bhaktah pranasyati (Bhagavad Gita 9.31). If one simply begins devotional service, he is immediately protected by the Supreme Personality of Godhead. This is also confirmed in Bhagavad Gita (18.66) : aham tvam sarva papebhyo moksayisyami. Protection begins immediately. The Lord is so kind and merciful that He gives the devotee proper guidance and all protection, and thus the devotee very peacefully makes solid progress in Krishna Consciousness without outward disturbances. A serpent may be very angry and ready to bite, but the furious snake is helpless when faced by a blazing fire in the forest. Although an enemy of a devotee may be very strong, he is compared to an angry serpent before the fire of devotional service.

Queen Kunti stated in a Poem “You befriended us and stayed with us and guided us through all tribulations I offer myself and whatever I have unto you my lord your loving kindness and mercy often comes clothed in strange guises enveloped in a shroud of tribulation yet our journey through life is made easy by these hardships you provide

Oh Lord let us not falsely claim that this world is our home let us not ever forget that this place is full of danger and let the calamities come again and again that we may remember you and meet with you again and again for by remember you we no longer meet with repeated birth and death”

Well in this Poem Queen Kunti is inviting calamites again and again so that she may remember Krishna and meet Krishna again and again.

Queen Kunti taught us very nice thing that when we are happy we tend to forget God and as soon as suffering start we try to go behind him, so she prayed let the calamities come again and again so that she will remember Krishna and meet Krishna again and again, this is the statement of Queen Kunti who is such an  exalted devotee of Lord Krishna wondering where I stand.

Even Kabir Das said “ Dukh Mein Simran Sab Karen, Sukh Mein Karay Na Koye Jo Sukh Mein Simran Karay, To Dukh Kahay Ko Hoye “[In anguish everyone prays to Him, in joy does none To One who prays in happiness, how sorrow can come]

The Lord is so kind and merciful that He gives the devotee proper guidance and all protection, and thus the devotee very peacefully makes solid progress in Krishna Consciousness without outward disturbances.

As they say where there is Hari (Lord) there is no Worry, if you face any situation just keep your faith strong and  you will be out of that situation in no time.

Now the question is, I am devotee, I am very Kind, I am Good with every one then why I am facing such an horrible situation – referring answer by very senior devotee “

Complete surrender to Krishna destroys all stages of karma, both a priori and a posteriori, just as Krishna promises. In other words, a fully surrendered devotee is NOT AFFECTED by karma.

How, then, are we to understand the devotee's suffering? Srila Prabhupada likened this to a fan that is switched off, yet continues to rotate for a while due to previous momentum. Similarly, when a person surrenders to Krishna, he may continue to experience some of the effects of residual material conditioning for a while, but they are soon depleted and destroyed.

Further, the suffering of a surrendered devotee is not exactly a karmic reaction under the agency of the Lord's external energy. Rather, Krishna Himself may give His devotee some token reaction just to purify him/her of any residual material attachment or to increase their dependence on Him. This suffering and the suffering of a non- devotee are not the same just as the suffering of an orphan is not the same as the apparent suffering/punishment a king's son might undergo in the process of being trained by the king.

Because of their confidence in the Lord's protection, a pure devotee actually never suffers, even if externally they seem to be undergoing difficulties. Being situated in transcendental knowledge by the Lord's grace, they know that all suffering pertains only to the material body, which is simply a source of suffering in any case, and is illusory. In fact Queen Kunti, in her famous prayers, requests Krishna for more and more calamities because such calamities are an opportunity for her ecstatic remembrance of Krishna and taking shelter of His lotus feet! (SB 1.8.25)

Of course, to the degree one is surrendered, to that degree one becomes free from past material reactions. And as far as their present and future karma is concerned, a symptom of surrender is acting fully in accordance with the directions of the Supersoul through the medium of scripture / spiritual master and with the intention of serving Krishna. Therefore all such activities become Krishna-karma and therefore free of material reactions”

Krishna stated in Bhagavad Gita “But those who always worship Me  with exclusive devotion, meditating on My transcendental form – to them I carry what they lack, and I preserve what they have.” BG 9.22

Even stated in Bible - JOHN 3:16“"For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life. 17"For God did not send the Son into the world to judge the world, but that the world might be saved through Him.…. “

As they say this day will also pass….so dont worry lord is there to protect you, just keep him in your mind 24x7.

Chant Hare Krishna and Be Happy….your eternal servant.

~Krishna Das (Karan Gulati)
