Shri Krishna Chaitanya rescues Krsnadasa in South India

Submitted by Karnamrita.das on Sat, 2008-07-19 04:27

In dealing with his apparently fallen devotee, Lord Chaitanya didn't leave Krsnadasa to his own devices but engineered a way to save him. In fact he went out of his way to reclaim him, and pulled him by the hair back into Krishna consciousness. That is the Lord's mercy for his devotees. He never forgets our service. We should be inspired and humbled by this and pray we will come to the pure stage so the Lord won’t have to save us like he did with Krsnadasa. In any case Lord Chaitanya and his agents ARE saving us by the holy name, Vaishnava (devotee) seva (service) and devotional service in general.

Thank God, the Holy Name unraveling
illusory desires, giving a higher taste,
still, my life is swirling, between
these planes and subtle dimensions.

Developing Faith in Finding a Qualified Guru

Submitted by Karnamrita.das on Fri, 2008-07-11 10:24

We live in a time of faithlessness, criticism, cynicism, and sarcasm. Those who do live by faith in God are often fundamentalist or fanatical in their rigid perspective. This gives religion and even God a bad name, discouraging people from being part of any group with strong beliefs and faith. Although faith may be looked at with suspicion, without faith no one can do anything either materially or spiritually (all faith [not what we have faith in] comes from the mode of sattva or goodness). In fact faith is the beginning, middle and full maturity of Krishna consciousness.

New looks, lots of books and a new haircut

Supersoul I was extremely delighted upon opening our book boxes from BBT, like a young boy on Christmas, to come across our new printed books. BBT has reprinted some of most classic texts with some very nice bright covers and bright vivid illustrations pieces inside as well.

The “jungle” is returning,
time to “weedwack” to trim
and drive the lawn tractor
before it rains again.

Evaluating Independence and Patriotism

Spiritually everyone must understand their identity as a soul beyond bodily designations—we are all brothers and sisters of a common Father, although he is called by many names. There is one spiritual system in the Universe, and regardless of one’s religious lens, we have to be convinced that the land does not belong to any people, religion, race or nation. The land belongs to God and the responsibility of every human being is to take care of the planet and all living beings as service to God.

Ghostbusters

Working at a New Age store means I get asked many spiritual, health related, and psychic type questions. People are searching for spirituality, healing, protection. I could have never worked here as a new devotee and youth. I have to draw on years of life experience and remain convinced of Krishna consciousness, yet open to present and hear truth in different ways.

Krishna becomes a Sweeper

Submitted by Karnamrita.das on Sat, 2008-06-21 15:06

It is said in the Vaishnava scriptures of the Vedas (like Shrimad Bhagavatam and others) that Krishna is non different from his holy name. We can associate with Krishna personally by chanting purely. Yet it also said that there is one important difference between Krishna and his name.

What is that?

Krishna's holy name is more merciful than Krishna.

How can this be?

Light and Darkness on the Path of Krishna Bhakti

Submitted by Karnamrita.das on Tue, 2008-06-17 15:03

This blog was inspired by Dulal and Navasi’s last blogs which both brought up important points from different perspectives. On the path of knowing and loving Krishna ( Bhakti-yoga) there is great Light, love, knowledge, spiritual power, incredible beauty, wonder, sublimity and everything desirable and ideal. Then there is the opposite, which can be seen as the back or dark side brought about by material imperfections practitioners bring to the path. In effect this is a great covering or veil which has to be overcome to keep us on the path for the long haul.
