ISKCON Desire Tree

We are entering the New Year, and on such occasions we take stock of what and how we did in the previous year and what we want to do in the next. Studies have shown, and probably many of us have experienced, that most New Year’s resolutions are…

A lecture centered around the teachings and legacy of **Shrila Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Thakur**, a prominent spiritual leader in the Gaudiya Vaishnavism tradition. Below is a summary of the key themes and points from the transcript:

1. **Focus…

When one associates with a pure devotee, he becomes so elevated that he does

not aspire even for sarsti, sarupya, samipya or salokya,(four kinds of liberation for a soul who performs devotion by ritualistic view but not with devotional love) because he feels that .such

liberation is a kind of sense gratification. Pure devotees do not ask anything from

the Lord for their personal benefit. Even if offered personal benefits, pure devotees

do not accept them, because their only desire is to satisfy the Supreme Personality

of Godhead by transcendental loving service. No one but the Lord Himself can

teach this highest form of devotional service. Therefore, when the Lord took the

place of the incarnation of Kali-yuga to spread the glories of chanting Hare Krishna

system of worship recommended in this age-He also distributed the process of

devotional service performed on the platform of transcendental spontaneous love.

To teach the highest principles of spiritual life, the Lord Himself appeared as a

devotee in the form of Lord Chaitanya.

Sorrow
can be avoided by Chanting.
The root cause of sorrow is our attachment to various objects.
By chanting,
we develop love for God
and our attachment to material objects reduces,
and sorrow disappears.
Dear souls !!!
Have you experienced the benefits of chanting ?
Please share.
