Hare Krishna devotees, Glories to Srila Prabhupada.
I am new to iskcon but I don't know my mind gets more attached to Lord Vishnu than Lord Krishna. I think my heart wants to follow dasya rasa to Lord Vishnu but I also want my heart to follow sakhya ras to Lord Krishna, Should I chant Om Namo Narayan more or Hare Krishna Mantra more, right now my mind gets more attracted to Lord Vishnu and very little bit to Lord Krishna. Can't a soul change its swarupa because Vaikuntha only has Dasya rasa but not sakhya ras, I want both. How should I do my sadhna.
Thanks devotees and please answer my humble question.

yep. I am from south India.
I am now 46 yr old
got inclined in bhakti maybe from 2011 ( in this life time).
But I do listen to other acharyas in the parampara ( sri vaishnavism) after my guru maharaj left we have his lineage gurus' giving intiation and they are all great scholars and teacher. I listen to all which includes Iskcon guru's as wel
I think I am too late. I see all of you are so much advanced even at young age you, .. Akshit just a small kids is so much interested in devotion. Humari baat chhodo.. just focus on ur bhakti.
You guys are all young and so lucky you could get into bhakti at an young age.
Meri buddhi bhagwan ki ore nahi tha bahut time tak. Even after initiation I got into bhakti later. ( Yes I followed all regulative principles as I was born in Vaishnavaite family)
But jo aaye mere ko pehle Krishna hi aaye.. narayan toh baad mein samaj aaye.
Chant Hare Krishna mahamantra. Simple and easy and covers all Gods.
Hare = Shree Radha
Krishna= is none other than Narayana Himself
Rama => has Shree Rama Which is loved by Hanumaan ji.
Why take so many pains to go with each name?
Waise.., dekha jaaye toh
Rama has Ra and Ma.
Ra means Radha
Ma means Madhava
And one more question mataji, can I chant names of Bhagwan narayan, and also Radhaji and also Hanumanji as I like all these diety?
Pls accept and answer my humble question.
Radhe radhe
By the way mataji, are you from South India and at what age did you inclined in bhakti ?
Greetings and radhe radhe
No my aacharya is of the age of Srila Prabhupada when he gave me diksha. after giving me diksha in a few years he left the wold to Parama Padam Vaikuntham.
I am more than fortunate to get initiated from such a senior most vaishnavaite it is also a predestined thing happened so quickly without me interferring in deciding who which guru or chosing. AAcharya came into my life as if pre planned by Lord.
As I told everything in my life is happening reversely.
I got diksha first and then I started to read Srila Prabhupada books later when I learnt that my diksha guru passed away.
So my Siksha guru is Srila Prabhupada ONLY.
I am indebted to Srila Prabhupadaa as He came in my dream and said Okay you can stay in my aashrama.. and gave me small job of keeping his room tidy.
For this reason I am with Srila Prabhupada ji.
The characteristic way in which Srila Prabhupada ji said in dream was like Okay YOu..stay here .. in my ashram and take care of my room. Keep it clean .. uh .. daily. is enough of a blessing I got.
Hare Krishna
Ok prabhuji I will keep that in mind
I will have to find the specific lecture and then the time when it was spoken, I think it would take some tme. Also, what is the need of a source?
Also sory it was srila Rupa Goswami not srila jiv goswami
I heard it in lectures given by HG amogha lila prabhu in Prabhupada lilamrit series
Oh I didn't knew you were initiated from Sri sampradaya so I asked it since it is said by Srila jiv goswami. And if course by your blessings I will stick to Iskcon. Thank you very much.
But one more question of you don't mind, was the guru maharaj who initiated you in young age, did you used to hear his lectures? Because srila Prabhupada was also initiated in young age but since he never came in contact with that guru ever so when he got the chance he got initiated by HDG srila bhakti sidhant Saraswati gosacmi maharaj
