How can i control my Senses and How can i get liberated. How about people who are following ISLAM, how will Krishna Liberate them

Hare Krsna Prabhuji,

PAMHO.

As already explained, senses can be controlled by engaging them in the service of the lord.

Once you engage your senses in service of the lord, your desire for liberation will go. YOu will only ask for service of the lord, not even desire liberation. Then it will not matter to you whether you are in hell or heaven or earth or Goloka, what will matter is only how can I serve my lord to the best of my capacity.

About people following Islam or any other path - like even worshipping Shakti, the soul has to evolve. That evolution can take lifetimes. Therefore, there are 3 gunas and modes of worship as per the guna one is in. Therefore there is a mode of worship in tamoguna also. The idea is that by doing this, the soul becomes purified to an extent and moves on to the next level of consciousness.

Haribol,

Your servant,

Rashmi

Senses are controlled by engaging your senses in the service of Krishna.

Tongue is the hardest to control. Engage it in Chanting Hare Krishna Mahamantra with Shraddha with feeling and emotion begging Krishna to engage you in His service

(Chaitanya Charitamrita 3.3.68-71, 75)

This flower garden is now known by the name, Siddha Bakula. Previously it was named Mudra Math. There is a legend connected with the Siddha Bakula tree. The local pandas have a tradition of giving the twig that is used to clean Jagannath’s teeth as Prasad to some special person. One day they gave a twig from a bakula tree that had so been used as a gift to Mahaprabhu. The Lord planted this twig in the ground at Hari Das’s place of bhajan. This twig eventually grew into a large tree. It is said that the Lord planted the twig on the first day of the month of Chaitra also known as Mahavishuva Sankranti, i.e. the day when the sun enters into the sign of Aries. For this reason, a festival named the Danta-kashtha-ropana Mahotsava is held on that day ever year to celebrate the occasion. Haridasa Thakura

Shrila Hari Das Thakur participated in the kirtan during the Rathayatra festival as the main dancer in one of the seven kirtan sampradayas. He was in the third group, which had Mukunda Datta as its lead singer.

Hari Das’s Teachings on the Holy Name

Mahaprabhu taught the glories of the Holy Name through Hari Das Thakur. One day, the Lord was feeling particularly unhappy about the lot of the conditioned souls. He came to Siddha Bakula and said to the Thakur: “Hari Das, in the age of Kali, the non-Hindus kill the cow and are inimical to the Brahmins. How will these Muslims ever be saved?” Hari Das answered, “Don’t be distressed at seeing the pitiable condition of the Muslims. They will be liberated by the namabhasa, the shadow of the Holy Name, whenever they say haram. In the Nrisingha-purana it is said, [1]

damshtri-dantahato mleccho harameti punah punah

uktvapi muktim apnoti kim punah shraddhaya grinan

When wounded by the tusks of a boar, the Muslim cries out “Harama, Harama!” again and again. If he attains liberation by so doing, then just think what will be the result if one chants the name of Rama with faith.

Bhaktivinoda Thakur says that if any Muslim dies while saying this word (haram), he is immediately liberated. This is namabhasa or nama-sanketa because the speaker makes the correct sound but does not intend the Lord Rama. Therefore, it is impossible to say just what fruits await the sincere and faithful chanter. The example is given of Ajamila who called the name of his son Narayan as he was dying, and through this namabhasa he attained liberation.

When he heard this explanation, Mahaprabhu was very pleased, but again He asked Hari Das, “How will the dumb animals and the trees, etc., be delivered?” Hari Das answered:

”You Yourself have instituted the loud chanting of the Holy Names which both the moving and non-moving creatures can hear. The mobile creatures are freed from their bondage to repeated birth and death by hearing the names. As for the immobile, they perform kirtan themselves by echoing the sounds. By your indescribable mercy, the entire universe is engaged in kirtan and the mobile and immobile beings dance when they hear it… You preached the loud chanting of the Holy Names by which the repeated births and deaths of all living beings come to an end.”
