Memories from Festival of Inspiration 2010

Seminars , devotee association, kirtan , nama yagna , mangal arati , variety of Prasad , drama ,New vrindavan memories & Srila Prabhupads legacy ............. This is all about Festival of Inspiration

Following are the few important points & remarks from the various seminars that i attended in NV

--- Grihastha Vision Team
1) live by your core values ..........
what Qualities you wud like ur spouse & children remeber you For?
What would you like ur influence on he World & community to Be?
2) Compassion is our Core Value
Our happiness depends on the degree with which we live to Our Core Values

4) COmpassion is more important Than LOve
Preach the fundamentals of KCON with compassion.

Work on ur relationship & connection

-------- Lecture by HH Radhanath Swami Maharaj

types of Co-operation
--- don't try to destroy each other
--- somehow carry on with the service & be tolerant
--- Vaishnava co-operation ---- see the spirit behind & fan the spark
Prabhupad saw the Good where there was Practically NONE.

be Sincere, Serious & with No Ulterior Motives

Symptoms of a devotee
1) One who chant the holy name once
2) one who is always chanting the holy name
3) one who upon seen by anyone are immediately inspired to chant the holy nameis a topmost devotee

------ lecture by HH Romapada Swami

I complained that i had no shoes until i saw a man that had no Shoes.
Gratitude is not a behavior but feeling
Spiritual conception of Proprietorship
--- I am Yours Krishna & You are Mine
this means that the relationship with krishna is permanent & that is Ours

External obstacles are simply Internal Obstacles

taking shelter of Lord Krishna is to determine ourselves to continue KCON engagements even though obstacles are present & been the humble Servant of Lord & devotees

When Difficulty comes ?
---- Ask Krishna ..... What you want me to learn from this ??
---- consult guru, sadhu , sastra

Failure will not prevent us from realising our capability but fear to Failure will

one is awarded Grace if he wants to be sincerely with Krishna
We go to Krishna to ask for solutions but he wants our Heart
so in good or bad times i SHall go to Krishna


----- Lecture by HG Vaisesika Pr
Overcoming Weakness of Heart
--- Attachment to things that are not attached to Krishna
---- Envy of other devotees progress
--- deceit -- cheating mentality
--- Longing for Position & Fame

Accept that every problem in our life is due to our past deeds only
Voluntary life changes --- voluntary accept favourable & reject unfavourable to KCON
Inspirational sadhana --- sadhana which gives some inspiration
Service (ie telling people about Krishna ) gets Superior Strength & Knowledge
Dandavats & holding the hands high up in air in kritan pours out weakness of heart
