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.

                    • Can you post lecture by HG Amogh Lila Prabhu where he says this if you are unable to provide reference from Prabupada Lilamrta itself.

                    • 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

                    • Hare Krishna Akshit Prabhuji

                      Please accept my humble obeisances

                      Can you please provide reference which states that Srila Prabhupada was also initiated in young age but he never came in contact with that guru?

                      As for mataji, she has mentioned that she got initiated when she was young when her faith didn't form at that time, so it is highly unlikely that she listened to any lecture from her guru. Also she would have become reluctant to understand the philosophy from Srila Prabhupada if she had heard lectures from her guru.

                      Please forgive me if I have offended anyone.

                    • 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 

                    • Not for you Akshit prabhu

                      It is for me and Aadit prabhu.

                      he wants to be in sri sampradaya

                      so I am recommending him a person to whom he can consider taking diksha from.

                      and I also belong to sri sampradya basically and i am initiated as well.  I am a sri vaishnavaite.

                      You can stick to iskcon it is gaudiya sampradaya.

                      I am initiated into sri sampradaya. Indresh prabhu ji is belonging to Sri sampradaya.

                      Pls. DON'T listen to other sampradaya You stick to one.

                      Stick to one .. 

                      Out of the 4 major sampradaya we can chose anyone and follow anyone. If you love Krishna we can come to Gaudiya.

                      But for me I am am born in a sri vaishnavaite family and got initiated into it when I was  young.. when my faith also didn't form at that time.

                      But my liking for Krishna turned me to study Scpritures written by Srila Prabhupada as they were easily accessible and were easy readable 

                      most of Sri sampradaya books are in Tamil or sanskrit. I was not able to read any of these two .. So, I read only Srila Prabhuapada books to understand Vaishnavism in depth. 

                      It is okay for me as I belong to both sampradayas

                      LIKE YOU HAVE  GOPAL BHATTA GOSWAMI  ji who was belonging to Sri Sampradaya but is a goswami  of Gaudiya sampradya and continued his devotional practice as Sri samprayadaya initiated but his love for Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu turned him to worship Sri Krishna .. I am like in that line... following footsteps of Shree Gopal Bhatta goswami ji.

                      It is not an offense to watch cross sampradaya videos.. esp. If they belong to one of the 4 main sampradaya. But for those who want to stick with only one .. I would not disturb them and Gaudiya paramapara and iskcon is just right path to follow as It leads to Sri Krishna.

                      Indresh ji is well know and he is from Sri sampradaya.

                      Hare Krishna

                    • Yes mataji i said I don't know from which sampradeya I am but I will follow sri sampradya.

                      Radhe radhe

                    • Mataji, i think for now I will go for sri sampradya so how I find a guru ? thanks for your humble response.

                      Mataji i don't know if I am from sri sampradye but thank you so much for your advices. Will take it into account. 

                      Radhe radhe

                       

                      You asked previously that - you want to go for sri sampradaya. So I showed that person who is from sri sampradaya.

                      But you are going back now?

                      first decide properly what do you want to 

                       

                    • Mataji i don't know if I am from sri sampradye but thank you so much for your advices. Will take it into account. 

                      Radhe radhe
