A being who believes he is ultimately enlightened and happy, is not happy because his mind is not controlled and he does not controll his senses. This is why Lord Caitanya descended into the world, to teach us the teachings on how to be purely Krishna Conscious. Krishna Conciousness means to re awaken to our transcendental position, which is attaining love of Godhead. By being Krishna Conscious we can understand why we sorrow so much, and how being Krishna Conciouss can re awaken our transcendental love for God (Krishna). Being Krishna Conscious, we can be liberated from all mental sufferings such as distress, depression, anxiety, and diseases. Here is the proof as to why Krishna Conciousness is benefital to all beings, especially ones that suffer so much. I will reveal to you the benefits of being Krishna Concious.
1. Chanting Hare Krishna Relieves Stress, Thus Making You Live Longer
It has been scientifically proven that stress will cause you to live less longer, and it has been proven that by chanting mantras over and over, especially Hare Krishna mantras, will stop this stress and make you happier, which will make you live longer.
2. Krishna Conciousness Invokes Mindfullness
Mindfullness is essential for being happy, and because devotees are always thinking of the Supreme Lord, Sri Krishna their minds are always focused on the Supreme Lord and thus ignore all negative aspects of the material world. When engaging in material activites such as cleaning your house, eating food, watching tv, or reading a book, imagine Krishna being within that object, thus you will never be lost to him. "Bhagavad Gita 6.30. For one who sees Me everywhere and sees everything in Me, I am never lost, nor is he ever lost to Me."
3.Being Krishna Conciousness Is Healthy
We are always as material beings finding happiness through material speculation, such as drinking, gambling, sexual activity, and smoking and even gaming. This may seem fun, but this is NOT healthy for the mind and not for the body and its organs. Smoking will cause lung cancer and drinking will kill brain cells, and playing video games constantly will make you more likely to be depressed in the future. Chanting Hare Krishna is a more natural and positive way to deal with problems, because it will release negative hormones and create positive ones, and make them even happier. Now this doesnt mean I am saying you cant enjoy something harmless like watching TV or playing video games, but do it with mindfullness and do it less and dedicate more time to praciticing Krishna Conciousness.
4. Attaining Love Of Godhead
Have you ever seen those pictures of Lord Caitanya dancing and crying? The reason for this is not madness, it is because he is crying in ecstasy. Material things bring impermanent happiness, but this divine ecstasy can only be experienced by one who has felt the love of Krishna enter their hearts. This happiness has been experienced by many devotees and you can too.
I hope you liked this post :) Hare Krishna!
