His Divine Grace Om Vishnupad

Sri Nabadwip Dham, speaking online to Venezuela

Question: When we are so far from you, how can we get your association?

To say or think "so far" is not correct. You offer everything to your Guru, you think about your Guru, then how can it be 'far'? If you think your Guru is far, then how far is Krishna? Venezuela and India are not so far from each other compared to Goloka Vrindavan, where Krishna lives.

যে দিন গৃহে ভজন দেখি ।
গৃহেতে গোলোক ভায় ॥

ye dina grhe bhajana dekhi
grhete goloka bhaya

On the days when I see devotional service taking place in my home, I feel that Goloka has manifested there.

'Suddha-bhakata-charana-renu' by Srila Bhakti Vinod Thakur

It means that when you worship your Guru, worship Krishna, Krishna is always in your house. Every day you offer to Gurudev, you serve Gurudev, and Gurudev is always in your house. It is easy to serve—anywhere you stay, just follow Gurudev's instruction, and you will easily get mercy from Gurudev.

Overeating and Prasadam
We are advised to avoid eating too much, but sometimes as soon as people hear about taking prasadam they think they can eat as much as they like..

 

Ki-rupe paiba seva
'My mind is endlessly engrossed in maya, and not even a trace of attachment to the Vaishnavs is born within me.'
কিরূপে পাইব সেবা

If we practise, we will be able to believe, but our problem is that if we do not see
something we do not believe in it. That is the problem.
