You need to be a member of ISKCON Desire Tree | IDT to add comments!
• We follow these books which are based on instructions of Srila Bhakti Siddhanta Sarasvati Thakur, Srila Jagannath Dasa Baba ji and Vishvanath Chakravarty Thakur. These books are not from Prabhupada’s imagination. GKG
• Those literatures contain previous commentary of acaryas and Srila Prabhupada’s commentary and Lord’s “Vani”. So if you will read this literature then your spiritual intelligence will increase. And then you can easily fight with Maya. (Vyas puja lecture).GKG
• Those devotees who are associated with ISKCON, who want to advance spiritually, save themselves from outside influence, do not want to be bewildered- for them systematic study of these books is very important. (Srimad Bhagvatam 5.5.3).GKG
• Make the habit of reading. It is very good habit- the habit of reading. That is going to sharpen your intelligence. You intelligence should have a twenty by twenty vision. When you have perfect vision that means your eyes are able to see correctly, identify different colours and so on. So our intelligence should be so trained that you can identify what is beneficial, what is determental, what is good, what is bad. GKG
Hare Krishna,
Prabhu I also go through the same problem like urs. But then someone helped me by saying that whenever we chant we should have a pic of the Lord in front of us which we can see continously while we r chanting. Secondly u must chant loudly and listen carefully to what u r chanting. In this way ur eyes, ears and tongue are totally engaged in taking the name of the lord. I hope wat i wrote was of some help to u. Thank u. Haribol!!!
