\nParasuram das: Most Yogis translate Bhakti Yoga as \u201cDivine Love\u201d and then Srila Prabhupada
\ntranslated it as \u2018 Devotional Service\u2019.<\/p>\n

Here is why, real love means there must be action. A mother can only claim
\nshe loves her children when she feeds them and takes care of them .<\/p>\n

The phrase \u201cDivine Love\u201d sounds cool, and you can imagine a guru sitting
\ntwiddling a flower in his hand and dishing out blessings with his other
\nhand.<\/p>\n

Guru Kripa Prabhu went to Japan under difficult circumstance and paid for
\nthe 3 main Temples in India, out of love for Srila Prabhupada.<\/p>\n

So many devotees have made serious sacrifices for Srila Prabhupada and in
\nthis way spiritual advancement was guaranteed.<\/p>\n

Srila Prabhupada had great love and compassion for the poor jivas suffering
\nin Kaliyuga. Below is an example of real compassion and love:<\/p>\n

Ramesvara: I remember another thing that Srila Prabhupada told me during
\nthat time that is very important. He talked about the coming of
\nunemployment in the Kali-yuga. We’re seeing this now and this is 2009,
\nalmost 2010. It’s a bad economic time. But Prabhupada was talking that as
\nthe Kali-yuga progresses, more and more there will be unemployment.
\nPrabhupada said we must be ready to take these unemployed people into our
\nmovement on our farms. Prabhupada said that we need farm communities that
\ncan grow food. He predicted that, “One day millions of people would be
\ncoming to our Hare Krishna farms because they are unemployed. And we must
\naccept them. We must feed them. We must let them live there and they will
\ngradually become spiritualized. We will put them to work, they will get
\ntheir food and there will be prasadam. They will hear something about
\nKrishna and they will gradually by the millions become devotees.”<\/p>\n
