Question: How You Say Krishna is the Only God? |
||||
Jesus Christ is the real truth. How do you say that Krishna is the only God? Where is the proof of His existence? Could God be dual characterized? |
||||
Answer: We Only Say to Purely Love God |
||||
We are not trying to prove to you that Krishna is God. We simply desire that everyone should purely love God. That's all. There is a Supreme Being who is the source of all existence. This we can prove. That Supreme Being is known by different names in dif |

Amalakii EkAdasii
AMALAKI EKADASI
King MAndhAtA once said to Vasishtha Muni, "O great sage, kindly be merciful to me and tell me of a holy fast that will benefit me eternally."
Vasishtha Muni replied. "O king, kindly listen as I describe the best of all fast days, Amalakii EkAdasi. He who faithfully observes a fast on this EkAdasii obtains enormous wealth, gets free of the effects of all kinds of sins, and attains liberation. Fasting on this EkAdasii is more purifying than donating one
1) Zoom in----Earth, Asia, India, Maharashtra, Mumbai, Chowpatty, SSRGM, Devotees dancing.
1st the larger picture and then zoom in for the details.
Similarly, SB condensed by Purna Prajna Prabhu or SB at a glance by Narayani Mataji shows us in summary what is in the SB. Then whatever we feel inspiredby, we zoom in to that canto, relish and come back. Then some other canto and so on.

Once at New Dwarka Srila Prabhupada was in his nice quarters. There was even a little chandelier. It was not really opulent. It was just basically nice. And Prabhupada said to one of his followers “Do you remember my quarters at Radha Damodara”? And in those days it wasn’t like it is now, Radha Damodara,it has been really renovated. It was just really simple - back in the early seventies, very very simple, like a little cave practically. He said “Do you remembe
I was distributing books at the University of California Irvine campus in USA with Sachitanoy prabhu when I saw a young lady near by sitting and reading something. I looked closely and to my surprise she was reading "Krishna the Reservoir of Pleasure." I saw her reading and reading with a huge smile in her face.
She finsihed the pamplet and as she was leaving I asked her, "Did you liked what your were reading?"
She was surprised that I knew what she was reading and said, "Yes I did, every word tha
Become cultured
Srimad Bhagavadam 7.8.34
Elderly men are supposed to be wise because they have been faced with life. An elderly person in spiritual life has become familiar with the process of devotional service therefore knows what to do and what not to do. He has tried to do the right thing and has encountered human limitations and has found that it is not just a matter of decision. We know that it is a culture. Theessence of our culture is that we are chanting Hare Krsna and trying to develop g
conception. So physical conception is temporary. The vibration
conception is eternal. Just like we are relishing the vibration of
Krishna’s teachings. So by vibration He is present.
As soon as we chant Hare Krishna or chant Bhagavad-gita or Srimad
Bhagavatam, He is present immediately by His vibration. He’s absolute.
Therefore try to remember His words of instruction and you’ll not feel
separation. You’ll feel that Krishna is with you
BECOMING HOPEFUL
The Lord comes and manifests His grace through His devotees
to give us hope that there is no situation that is ever hopeless.
By associating with people who have faith we acquire faith
and in that faith there is unlimted hope and unlimited possibilites.

When Gajendra the elephant was caught by the crocodile in the water,
he fought with all his strength but gradually his strength began to wane.
In that situation he was very depressed and he realized that

In class this morning, Prabhupada emphasized that no one can become
Krsna conscious except by their own choice. "It is all individual; I
have to surrender to Krsna individually. Just like when you go to the
sky on airplane, it is all individual. If one airplane is in danger,
other airplane cannot save him. That is not possible. Similarly, it is
all individual. It is all paratah svato va. One has to take it
seriously, personally, that 'Krsna wants, so I'll surrender. K
How to Avoid Fault Finding?
Lord Chaitahnay said "you can get My Full Mercy by chanting the holy names and not finding faults with others". One has to be adosha darshi.
Acharyas explain there are four types of people who see faults:
1) Like Daksha, who only sees faults. Even amidst good qualities, they see only faults. The reason is that the mind is full of that mentality.
2) See faults and good qualities side by side. You can focus on whatever you see. When you see faults look for good qua
Not an easy thing.
So love of Krsna is not an easy thing obtainable, but Caitanya Mahaprabhu distributed this love of Krsna to anyone, to everyone, even to Jagai and Madhai. So Narottama dasa Thakura therefore has sung in his song, papi tapi jata chilo, hari-name uddharilo, tara saksi jagai madhai. Caitanya Mahaprabhu is so magnanimous that He delivered all kinds of sinful men. Jata chilo. And simply allowing them to chant Hare Krsna mantra, delivered. Tara saksi jagai madhai.

everything else to be insignificant. One who engages in transcendental
loving service is elevated to the highest perfectional stage by the
Lord Himself, who is seated in everyone's heart.
PURPORT
As stated in Bhagavad-gītā (10.10), the Lord gives intelligence to the
pure devotees so that they may be elevated to the highest perfectional
stage. It is confirmed herein th
One should completely refrain from practices which are detrimental to the interest of self-realization.
The Lord taught the Gosvami about devotional service, comparing it to a creeper, and advised him to protect the bhakti creeper most carefully against the mad elephant offense against the pure devotees. In addition, the creeper has to be protected from the desires of sense enjoyment, monistic liberation and perfection of the hatha-yoga system. They are all detrimental on the path of devotional s

“Krsna I will do this. From now on I will chant my rounds with great concentration and great attention. I won't let my mind be distracted. I won't listen to my mind.”
And that is our determination and then we say:
“But actually Krsna please help. Krsna please help me do this. I am very confident; I am very bold that I can do this. But actually I can’t do this without Your help, without Your mercy.”
Process Of Improving Habits
by Mahanidhi Swami
I begin my day by asking myself the question, “How can I be of service to someone?” I have found this to be useful in reminding me of the multitude of ways that I can be helpful to others. When I take the time to ask this question, I find answers popping up all day long.
If one of your goals is to be of help to others, you will find the most appropriate ways. Your chances to be of service are endless. The key, I believe, is to remember that being of servi
One should not accept more than he requires for the maintenance of the body.
The devotee does not hanker to possess more than he requires. Devotees are therefore akincana; in any condition of life a devotee is satisfied. It is said that a devotee is even-minded whether he is in hell or in heaven.

Everyone like to eat but when you feel sleepy then you are ready to skip eating as well.. when you are fearful then you give up eating and sleeping... when someone is mad for sex pleasure then he gives up eating, sleeping and defending... so same way when we are mad in KC then we can give up all.. because KC pleasure is the highest...
