EDITORIAL  Call For Divine Intervention BY ADI-PURUSHA DAS EDITORIAL, Jun 26 (VNN) — Dear swamijis, prabhus, matajis and all vaisnavas, please accept my respectful and humble obeisances, all glories to Srila Prabhupada all glories to Sri Sri Gaura Nitai. At the present moment we all can see an overburdening of defense force of different nations around the world causing disturbances to the planet and well being of humanity. Same situation has happened in the past. Five thousand years ago Krsna the Supreme Personality descended in order to give a chance to both the devotees and the none devotees for realization of the ultimate goal of life. The devotees get the direct chance to see Him and worship Him. Those who are not on that platform get the chance to become acquainted with His activities and thus become elevated to the same position. When king Indra appealed to Lord Krsna after flooding Govardan Hill. king Indra said the folowing. "You appear in this world to give protection to Your eternal servants and to destroy the demons who maintain great military strength just to burden the very existence of the Earth" . With Islamic and Israelis, Us with Afghanistan, Pakistan and India (Kashmir) and the possibilities of a nuclear attack. These tensions still continue all seems to be like a domino effect, one event affects something else and that something else generates another series of events an its continues in such a way affecting in a collective way the economy of the nations specially unemployment and as a result of this, survival mode gears in, and then upheaval in the cities populace takes the form of protest, riots and an increase of violence occurs at different levels around the world, due to this survival mode. Take note of what is happening around the world that is slowly affecting everybody . At the present moment we all can see an overburdening of defense force of different nations around the world causing disturbances to the planet and well being of humanity. Same situation has happened in the past. Five thousand years ago the demigods and great devotees of the Lord have made the call for the Supreme Personality of Godhead to descend. At the present moment, we can see that in the last 40 years there has been an increase of Vaisnavas on Earth to a degree that has expanded to an international and more global level around the world. It will be to the benefit and well being for all of us devotees around the world to make a call to Sri Krsna. Since the September 11 events I have been reciting on a regular basis. Devotees of planet Earth it is very important to start making the call for another "Divine Intervention" vaisnavas of the world unite and make this call. The following is the call that the demigods did in the past at the time Earth was influenced by demons. This prayer can be extremely effective if recited again for the lord to appear once again, this is the call that all of us devotees of Planet Earth to make. These prayers by the demigods to Lord Narayana, and found this interesting piece within the prayer, on how the demigods plea to the Lord for His appearing once again to protect His devotees the demigods, By His inconceivable internal potency, the Supreme Personality of Godhead expands into various transcendental bodies as Vamanadeva, the incarnation of strength among the demigods; Parasurama, the incarnation among saints; Nrisimhadeva and Varaha, incarnations among animals; and Matsya and Kurma, incarnations among aquatics. He accepts various transcendental bodies among all types of living entities, and among human begins He especially appears as Lord Krsna and Lord Rama. By His causeless mercy, He protects the demigods, who are always harassed by the demons. He is the worshipable Deity of all living entities. He is the supreme cause, represented as the male and female creative energies. Although different from this universe, He exists in His universal form[virata-rupa]. In our fearful condition, let us take shelter of Him, for we are sure that the Supreme Lord, the Supreme Soul, will give us His protection. Sri Sukadeva Gosvami said: My dear King, when all the demigods offered Him their prayers, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Hari, carrying His weapons, the conchshell, disc and club, appeared first within their hearts and then before them. Surrounding and serving the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Narayana, were sixteen personal attendants, decorated with ornaments and appearing exactly like Him but without the mark of the Srivatsa and the Kaustubha jewel. O King, when all the demigods saw the Supreme Lord in that posture, Smiling with eyes like the petals of lotuses grown in autumn, they were overwhelmed with happiness and immediately fell down like rods, offering dandavats.(strait extended position facing the ground ) Then they slowly rose and pleased the Lord by offering Him prayers. The demigods said: O Supreme Personality of Godhead, You are competent to give the results of sacrifice, and You are also the time factor that destroys all such results in due course. You are the one who releases the chakra to kill the demons. O Lord, who possesses many varieties of names, we offer our respectful obeisances unto You. O supreme controller, You control the three destinations [promotion to the heavenly planets, birth as a human being, and condemnation in hell, yet Your supreme abode is Vaikuntha-dhama. Since we appeared after You created this cosmic manifestation, Your activities are impossible to understand. We therefore have nothing to offer You but our humble obeisances. O supreme controller, You control the three destinations [promotion to the heavenly planets, birth as a human being, and condemnation in hell, yet Your supreme abode is Vaikuntha-dhama. Since we appeared after You created this cosmic manifestation, Your activities are impossible to understand. We therefore have nothing to offer You but our humble obeisances. O Supreme Personality of Godhead, O Narayana, O Vasudeva, original person! O most exalted person, Supreme experience, welfare personified! O Supreme benediction, supremely merciful and changeless! O support of the cosmic manifestation, sole proprietor of all planetary systems, master of everything and husband of the goddess of fortune! Your Lord Ship is realized by the top most sannyasis, who wander about the world to preach Krsna consciousness, fully absorbed in samadhi through bhakti-yoga. Because their minds are concentrated upon You, They can receive the conception of Your personality in their fully purified hearts. When the darkness in their hearts is completely eradicated and You are revealed to them, the transcendental bliss they enjoy is the transcendental form of Your Lordship. No one but such persons can realize You. Therefore we simply offer You our respectful obeisances. O Lord, You need no support, and although You have no material body, You do not need cooperation from us. Since You are the cause of the cosmic manifestation and You supply its material ingredients without being transformed, You create, maintain and annihilate this cosmic manifestation by Yourself. Nevertheless, although You appear engaged in material activity, You are transcendental to all material qualities. Consequently these transcendental activities of Yours are extremely difficult to understand. These are our inquiries. The ordinary conditioned soul is subject to the material laws, and he thus receives the fruits of his actions. Does Your Lord ship, like an ordinary human being, exist within this material world in a body produced by the material modes? Do You enjoy or suffer the good or bad results of actions under the influence of this time, past work and so fourth? Or, on the contrary, are You present here as neutral witness who is self-sufficient, free from all material desires, and always full of spiritual potency? We certainly cannot understand Your actual position. O Supreme Personality of Godhead, all contradictions can be reconciled in You. O Lord, since You are the Supreme Person, the reservoir of unlimited spiritual qualities, the supreme controller, Your unlimited glories are inconceivable to the conditioned souls. Many modern theologians argue about right and wrong without knowing what is actually right. Their arguments are always false and their judgments inconclusive because they have no authorized evidence which to gain knowledge of You. Because their minds are agitated by scriptures containing false conclusions, they are unable to understand the truth concerning You, who are transcendental to their material conceptions. You are one without a second, and therefore in Your contradictions like doing and not doing, happiness and distress, are not contradictory. Your potency is so great that it can do and undo anything as You like. With the help of that potency, what is impossible for You? Since there is no duality in Your constitutional position, You can do everything by the influence of Your energy. A rope causes fear for a bewildered person who considers it a snake, but not for a person with proper intelligence who knows it to be only a rope. Similarly, You, as the Supersoul in everyone's heart, inspire fear or fearlessness according to one's intelligence, but in You there is no duality. With deliberation, one will see that the Supreme Soul, although manifested in different ways, is actually the basic principle of everything. The total material energy is the cause of material manifestation, but the material energy is caused by Him. Therefore He is the cause of all causes, the manifester of intelligence and the senses. He is perceived as the Supersoul of everything. Without Him, everything would be dead. You, as that Supersoul, the Supreme controller, are the only one remaining Therefore, O Killer of the Madhu demon, incessant transcendental bliss flows in the minds of those who have even once tasted but a drop of the nectar from the ocean of Your glories. Such exalted devotees forget the tiny reflection of the so-called material happiness produced from material senses of sight and sound. Free from all desires, such devotees are real friends of all living entities. Offering their minds unto You and enjoying transcendental bliss, they are expert in achieving the real goal of life. O Lord, You are the soul and dear friend of such devotees, who never need return to this material world. How could they give up engagement in Your devotional service? O Lord, O personified three worlds, father of three worlds! O strength of the three worlds, in the form Vamana incarnation! O three-eyed form of Nrisimhadeva! O most beautiful person within the three worlds ! Everything and everyone, including human beings and even the Daitya demons and Danavas, is but an expansion of Your energy. O supremely powerful one, You have always appeared in Your forms as various incarnations to punish the demons as soon they become very powerful. You appear as Lord Vamanadeva, Lord Rama and Lord Krsna. You appear sometimes as an animal like boar, sometimes a mixed incarnation like Lord Nrisimhadeva and Lord Hayagriva, and sometimes an aquatic like Lord Fish and Lord Tortoise. Assuming such various forms, You have always punished the demons and Danavasa. We therefore pray that Your Lordship appear today as another incarnation, if You so desire, to kill the great demons of planet Earth(Vritasura). O Supreme protector, O grandfather, O supreme pure, O Lord! We are all surrendered souls at Your Lotus feet. Indeed, our minds are bind to Your lotus feet in meditation by chains of love. Now please manifest Your incarnation. Accepting us as Your own eternal servants and devotees, be pleased with us and sympathetic towards us. By Your love-filled glance, with its cool and pleasing smile of sympathy, and by the sweet, nectarine words emanating from Your beautiful face, free us from the anxiety caused by the demons of planet Earth ( Vritasura), who always paints the cores of our hearts O Lord, as the small sparks of a fire cannot possibly perform the actions of the whole fire, we sparks of your Lordship cannot inform You of the necessities of our lives. You are the complete whole. Therefore, what of what do we need to inform You? You know everything because You are the original cause of cosmic manifestation, the maintainer and the annihilator of the entire universal creation. You always engage in Your pastimes with Your spiritual and material energies, for You are the controller of all these varied energies. You exist within all living entities, within the cosmic manifestation, and also beyond them. You exist internally as Parabrahaman and externally as the ingredients of the material creation. Therefore, Although manifested in various stages, at different times and places, and various bodies, You, the Personality of Godhead, are the original cause of all causes, Indeed, You are the Original element. You are the witness of all activities, but because You are as great as the sky, You are never touched by any of them. You are the witness of everything as Parabraman and Paramatma. O Supreme Personality of Godhead, Nothing is unknown to You. Dear Lord, You are omniscient, and therefore You know very well why we have taken shelter at Your lotus feet, which provide shade that gives relief from all material disturbances. Since You are the Supreme spiritual master and You know everything, we have sought shelter of Your lotus feet for instruction. Please give us relief by counteracting our present distress. Your lotus feet are the only shelter for a fully surrendered devotee and are the only means for subduing all the tribulations of this material world Therefore, O Lord, O supreme controller, O Lord Krsna, please annihilate this dangerous demons of Planet Earth. Vritasura, Tvasta's son, who has already swallowed all our weapons, our paraphernalia for fighting, and our strength and influence. O Lord, O supreme pure, You live within the core of everyone's heart and observe all the desires and activities of the conditioned soul. O Supreme Personality of Godhead known as Lord Krsna, Your reputation is bright and illuminating. You have no beginning, for You are the beginning of everything . This is understood by pure devotees because You are easily accessible to the pure devotee and truthful. When the conditioned souls are liberated and sheltered at Your lotus feet after roving throughout the material world for many millions of years, they attain the highest success of life. Therefore, O Lord, O Supreme Personality of Godhead, we offer our respectful obeisances at Your lotus feet. Sri Sukadeva Gosvami continued: O king Pariksit, when the demigods offered the Lord their sincere prayers in this way, the Lord listened by His causeless mercy. Being pleased, He then replied to the demigods. The Supreme Personality of Godhead said: O beloved demigods, you have offered your prayers to Me with great knowledge, and I am certainly most pleased with you. A person is liberated by such knowledge, and thus he remembers My exalted position, which is above the conditions of material life. Such a devotee is fully purified by offering prayers in full knowledge. This is the source of devotional service to Me. It is important to think globally and act locally, we all can see that the materialistic leaders of the world also have their executive officers, and that when there is some kind of conflicts, tribulations and disturbances they call for their officers to meet and "attempt to find a solution". What if! in a similar way us devotees of Planet Earth can start focusing on a more global way and take this empowering action to call our Chief Executive Officer that is Sri Krisna the Supreme Personality of Godhead, and lets all find out the positive result that this action can produce. It will be very appropriate for all of us Vaisnavas of the world to call upon our Chief Executive Officer and put new management on the world, which will be very beneficial for the planet and all of us devotees around the world. This will generate a call for divine intervention, it is important for devotees to think in a more broader and unified way, then the results will be extremely rewarding for all us Vaisnavas of Planet Earth. Spread this information to every devotee vaisnava, and temple in your area, lets all do this call and lets find out the kind of results all of us devotees can produce by taking this action. every one of us devotees can create a better world for all Vaisnavas of the World.
