It's Time to Upgrade Your TV Set

Why waste time sitting at the feet of the "one-eyed guru" TV set, when you can instead upgrade to the mystic television within your heart and see a 24 hours daily live broadcast of the pastimes of the Supreme Lord that are happening right now in the spiritual world? This is a simple matter of common sense. Who would want to waste their time with programming which shackles its viewers to the cycle of birth and death, when instead one can watch programming which bestows eternal unlimited knowledge… Continue

Getting the Eyes to See God

Getting the Eyes to See God Student. For the last one hundred fifty years, one of the major problems of Western theologians has been the relationship between reason and faith. They have been seeking to understand faith through reason, but they have been unable to find the relationship between the reasoning abilities and faith. Some of them have faith in God, but their reason tells them there is no God. For instance, they would say that when we offer prasada to the Lord, it is only faith to thin… Continue

The Hare Krishna Mantra is Everywhere in the Vedas

The Hare Krishna Mantra is Everywhere in the Vedas God Himself in His most munificent incarnation as Lord Caitanya chanted the Hare Krishna Mantra. The great Vaisnava acharyas such as Rupa Goswami chanted Hare Krishna. And the Hare Krishna mantra is declared in the Kali Santarana Upanisad to be the best of all mantras for delivering us from this material world. I do not understand why you need more evidence than this? Actually since the Hare Krishna mahamantra is an incarnation of Krishna in th… Continue

SPIRITUAL CONSCIOUSNESS

Practically there are three processes for elevating one to the platform of spiritual consciousness. These processes are called karma, jnana and bhakti. Ritualistic performances are in the field of karma. Speculative processes are in the field of jnana. One who has taken to bhakti, the devotional service of the Lord, need have nothing to do with karma or jnana. It has been already explained that pure devotional service is without any tinge of philosophical speculative or ritualistic performances… Continue

SPIRITUALITY

People imagine that spirituality means meditating on God, bathing in sacred waters and visiting holy shrines, but this is not the correct meaning of spirituality. Spirituality means destroying the animal nature in man and awakening him to his divine consciousness. Spirituality implies recognizing that one’s manifold capacities emanate from the Spirit and not from the mind, then utilizing them for achieving spiritual strength. It means acknowledging that all powers come from the Divine. - Baba Continue

Krishna's mercy

Kuntidevi to Lord Krishna:"Being beyond the range of limited sense perception, You are the eternally irreproachable factor covered by the curtain of deluding energy. You are invisible to the foolish observer, exactly as an actor dressed as a player is not recognized." Srimad Bhagavatam - Canto 1 Chapter 8 Verse 19 Kuntidevi's prayers are the best example of how a devotee depends on Krishna's mercy. This verse answers people who say they have not seen Krishna.

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?

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

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.

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.

2-5 Important Questions on Life, science & spirituality etc normally bothering our Human minds

Radhe Krishna To All, Question No 2: Why do we not earn real 'happiness' from these? Sri.Sri.Muralidhara Swamiji: I wish to make you understand this -- mental happiness is only the highest of all 'Bliss' [and not physical 'Bliss']. You may be sitting on a silken bed or live in a big palace. Your room may be air-conditioned. You may possess all physical comforts. But, now, let us say that someone has abused you and you come to hear of it. The mind immediately fumes. Does it not?… Continue

"On the Way to Krsna"

"On the Way to Krsna" Steering Toward the Supreme "...The surrendering process is the ultimate goal; either one does it immediately or after many births of research work. In either case, surrender must be there by realizing that "God is great, and I am His subordinate." Understanding this, the wise man will surrender immediately and not wait to take many, many births. He understands that this information is given by the Supreme Lord out of His infinite mercy on the conditioned souls. We are a… Continue

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.

- Baba
