What is the process of connecting to Krsna?.......................Nectarean Mellows
So the demigods were defeated by the demons just as every devotee will be defeated by Maya if we offend other Vaishnavas. But now they had nothing, now they were under the rule of the asuras, they were helpless, like an elephant afflicted by forest fire. Indra was so big but helpless, it was beyond his powers. He comes to Brahma and Brahma preaches to them, why are you so foolish? And then by Brahma’s mercy they approach the Supreme Personality of Godhead and the Supreme Personality of Godhead appears before them. So this is the process, when we are in a suffering condition, we approach a Vaishnava like Lord Brahma, who is the original Guru and he re-connects us to Krishna. So these sufferings are put on our path sometimes and they help us if we are sincere. If we are not sincere, we just give up and take shelter of other things which is not a solution. But if we are sincere then when these difficulties come upon us, we understand the values of the deities, we understand the values of the vaishnava, we understand the value of the holy name and we don’t take it for granted, we need it.

Humility is not just a part of devotional service; it is the heart of devotional service.
To see a Vaishnava and not become happy is an offence. – Skand Puran
It is important to remind ourselves that at the end of the day, all we really have is each other.
