akinchanatatvam

In my last post, I mentioned saralata or simplicity as a key ingredient for surrender. Another ingredient is akinchanatatvam, meaning "not interested in things other than service to Krishna".

“When Madhavendra Puri was at the last stage of his life, Ramacandra Puri came to where he was staying.

“Madhavendra Puri was chanting the holy name of Krsna, and sometimes he would cry, ‘O my Lord, I did not get shelter at Mathura.’

“Then Ramacandra Puri was so foolish that he fearlessly dared to instruct his spiritual master. . . .

“Isvara Puri, the spiritual master of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu, performed service to Madhavendra Puri, cleaning up his stool and urine with his own hand.

Lord Narasimhdev is an avatar of  Lord Vishnu. He is worshipped in a half man and half lion form. Lord Vishnu had taken this incarnation many millennia before, in order to kill the demon king Hiranyakasipu. Hiranyakashipu was abusing and try to murder his own devotee son, Prahlad, simple because Prahlad worshipped Lord Vishnu as the Supreme. Lord Narsimha appeared to destroy the demon and protect His innocent devotee Prahlad. He is known primarily as the ‘great protector’ who specifically prote

It was all during the summer of 2013 when my aunt and uncle wanted to take me and my brother on a vacation to congratulate us for our success in middle school. At the time I was still getting into the whole belie

These are for protection from such things as malevolent spirit
