The Right Contact Number By Sri.Sri.Muralidhara Swamiji.
Radhe Krishna To All,
When you wish to talk to someone over telephone, you just don't start speaking soon after picking up the instrument, do you? Don't you need to know and dial the person's contact number first?’, Sri Sri Swamiji asked.
We knew that Sri Sri Swamiji was trying to convey something important in His own unique style – in a simple language that we can understand…
Sri Sri Swamiji continued… "Likewise, when you wish to speak to God and place your prayers before Him, you need to kn… Continue

Universal brotherhood and peace Message from Sri Sri Muralidhara Swamiji
Dear All,
Universal brotherhood and peace can never be brought about by power, force or scientific advancement.
The only solution is inner transformation – a change in the tendency of every single person and the only way to achieve it is through spirituality.
To achieve this, we need not change our lifestyle; we need not go to another place; we need not renounce anything; there is no dress code or any such formality; we can go to work; go to school and live as usual and yet bring about ‘UNIVE… Continue

5-5 Important Questions on Life, science & spirituality etc normally bothering our Human minds
Radhe Krishna To All,
Question No 5:
1. "You advocate incessant chanting of Rama Nama. (Lets us say that) A person suffers from some disease and is also facing financial problems. Should different slokas be chanted for the different kinds of sorrows suffered, viz. disease, debt problem, etc.? - some sloka like the Navagraha sloka (be chanted)? Or is it enough if we chant Rama Nama as advocated by you?"
2. "while going through some sloka book we find the words above each sloka -'for g… Continue

4-5 Important Questions on Life, science & spirituality etc normally bothering our Human minds
Radhe Krishna To All,
Question No 4:
"What is the sign of a person who has seen God? How are we to identify such a person?" 'how are we to know that a person has seen God. Will there be any special signs on him?'
Sri.Sri.Muralidhara Swamiji:
Normally I have been pointing out to what the Vedas have said in this context. The Vedas have said, "the one who claims - 'I have seen God, I have attained Self-Realisation, I am a Jnani, there is no Jnani greater than I am, I possess power… Continue

3-5 Important Questions on Life, science & spirituality etc normally bothering our Human minds
Radhe Krishna To All,
Question No 3:
"Today Science has been successful in making many valuable inventions and discoveries. At this juncture is it still necessary to speak matters such as Spirituality, God, etc.?"
Sri.Sri.Muralidhara Swamiji:
None can refute the progress of Science today. Whatever Man had speculated about and thought was impossible have indeed been made possible today? For example nobody thought that one could reach the Moon. But, today man goes to the Moon qui… Continue

About
THE SPIRITUAL SKY
There is another reality that is more compatible to us than what we experience now, and that reality is the unlimited Spiritual Sky.
The material world is a pale reflection of the Spiritual world, it is NOT heaven which some religions say is the ultimate destination.
Heaven is still in the material world and when you go there after using up all of your good karma you must come back to the earthly planets.
Even though you can stay there for millions of years and all your senses work better and you can have better sex life you cannot get to the Spiritual world easily because there you are more into sense gratification than here on earth.
The Spiritual Sky is 75% of Krishna's creation and the material world is 25%, the Spiritual world is eternal and time does not exist there, The material world is temporary and time destroys everything here.
In the Spiritual Sky there are no stars because everything is self illuminating, in the material world if turn off the lights at night you can't see a thing and most people are afraid of the dark.
In the Spiritual world there is no birth, old age, disease, war, or death, In the material world there is birth, old age, diseases, wars, and death all around us.
The Spiritual Sky is known as Vaikuntha or without anxieties, while the material world is called Kuntha or with anxieties. The living entities are like fish out of water here in material consciousness and some of them don't even realize that this place is a horror show for them.
So the choice is clear you can stay here and be a hero, fighting against material hardships or you can become a surrendered Krishna devotee and go back home, Back to Godhead.

JAPA
Japa is the quiet prayer. You say it loud enough so you can hear it, but it’s mostly for yourself. Radha and Krishna can hear you. They’re close by, so you don’t have to shout. But They’re listening carefully, so you pronounce with great care. Put your heart into it. Hear me, Lord. Hare Krishna Hare Krishna Krishna Krishna Hare Hare/ Hare Rama Hare Rama Rama Rama Hare Hare. Over and over, the thirty-two syllables are repeated.
From Bhajana Kutir #78
Empty and calm and devoid of self
Is the nature of all things.
No individual being
In reality exists.
There is no end or beginning,
Nor any middle course.
All is an illusion,
As in a vision or a dream.
All beings in the world
Are beyond the realm of words.
Their ultimate nature, pure and true,
Is like the infinity of space.
-Prajnaparamita
---
It is only when the mind is completely under control that man can grasp his real identity. Then all troubles and travails, doubts and dilemmas, come to an end. Man then overcomes sorrow, delusion and anxiety. He is established in the holy calmness of Shanti (peace). Spiritual life is not a matter of meaningless talk. It is an experience of pure Ananda (bliss).
- Baba
All cravings and impulses rise up with overpowering strength like waves from the sea, roar in fury, and then subside in to calm waters. They do not confer peace. Wisdom lies in forgetting these waves and directing one's attention to the calm depths within. You can attain Shanti (peace) only if you dive in to the deep and undisturbed depths of the sea within, not by swimming around on the surface.
