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.

So many gross examples of misrepresentations of the scriptures ……………….Nectarean Mellows

Today we are seeing so many gross examples of misrepresentations of the scriptures in all religions of the world. Historically Lord Buddha came at a time when Brahmans were practically having slaughter houses, making money, eating meat on the basis of some out of context scriptural injunctions. So Lord Buddha saw that these people were atheistic, they were stubb

Krsna is instructing us how to understand Him. That is our only business. This human form of life is meant for understanding Krsna because we are very thickly related with Krsna, just like father and the son. This relation cannot be broken. Maybe son is out of home, son may have forgotten, but Krsna, the supreme father, He does not forget.

In the final installment of Srila Satsvarupa Gosvami’s study of the spiritual needs and concerns of an ISKCON preacher, he addresses the most fundamental aspect of every devotee’s life—sadhana.I once asked Srila Prabhupada how a devotee could preach the ideals of Krishna consciousness if he had not yet perfected himself. ‘If someone asks me if he can go back to Godhead in one life, I would say yes, but if he asked me if I were going back to Godhead I don’t know if I could definitely say yes.’ Pr

People were misusing the Vedi
