ATTITUDE IS WHAT KRISHNA-CONSCIOUSNESS IS ALL ABOUT…….

1. SOLDIER :  SIR WE ARE SURROUNDED FROM ALL SIDES BY ENEMIES ,

MAJOR  :  EXCELLENT ! WE CAN ATTACK IN ANY DIRECTION.

So when we are surrounded wiht problems, we should be grateful, for we have many more reasons to remember Krishna – like Kunti mataji.

2. EVERY ONE KNOWS ABOUT ALEXANDER GRAHAM BELL WHO INVENTED THE TELEPHONE, BUT HE NEVER MADE A CALL TO HIS FAMILY. BECAUSE, HIS WIFE AND DAUGHTER WERE DEAF.

THAT’S LIFE ” LIVE FOR OTHERS ” .

When we give seva, we usually expect something in return, well at least some “spiritual”sense gratification (eg. sumptuous prasaad and only those parts of Radha-Krishna katha that WE like to hear etc. etc. ). Please let us help selflessly those who are preaching Gouranga Mahaprabhu’s message, and Radha-prem.  

3. THE WORST IN LIFE IS “ATTACHMENT ” IT HURTS WHEN YOU LOSE IT. THE BEST THING IN LIFE IS ” LONELINESS ” BECAUSE IT TEACHES YOU EVERYTHING AND, WHEN YOU LOSE IT, YOU GET EVERYTHING.

Nabadweep-Vrindaban meditations are best and most blissful in loneliness anyway. Let us strive to become Bhajanaanandi as soon as possible.

4. IF AN EGG IS BROKEN BY AN OUTSIDE FORCE…….. .A LIFE ENDS. IF AN EGG BREAKS FROM WITHIN…… .LIFE BEGINS. GREAT THINGS ALWAYS BEGIN FROM WITHIN .

Renunciation, meditation , and more so – Manjari bhav – are no good if we force it on ourselves, just because they are good things. It is better we practice from the scratch as suggested by the Goswamis, in the anugatya of senior  practicing devotees, till we attain Sthaayti Bhav (a particular permanent bhav of Braja-ras).

5. IT’S BETTER TO LOSE YOUR EGO TO THE ONE YOU LOVE. THAN TO LOSE THE ONE YOU LOVE ……. BECAUSE OF EGO .

Easy for all Vaishnavs.

6. A RELATIONSHIP DOESN’T SHINE BY JUST SHAKING HANDS AT THE BEST OF TIMES. BUT IT BLOSSOMS BY HOLDING FIRMLY IN CRITICAL SITUATIONS .

Very apt for devotees who are desperately trying to survive in this Kaliyug.

7. HEATED GOLD BECOMES ORNAMENTS. BETTED COPPER BECOMES WIRES. DEPLETED STONE BECOMES STATUE. SO, THE MORE PAIN YOU GET IN YOUR LIFE THE MORE VALUABLE YOU BECOME.

A Vaishnav has to go through pains and tirbulations to rise from  the Kanishtha level to the status of Uttam devotee.

8. WHY WE HAVE SO MANY TEMPLES , IF KRISHNA  IS EVERYWHERE ? A WISE MAN SAID : AIR IS EVERYWHERE , BUT WE STILL NEED A FAN TO FEEL IT !

We must remember that – “bigraha nao tumi, saakshat brajendra-nandan” – You are not Deity, but the Son of Nanda Maharaj in person. Deity is the more merciful form of Sri krishna.

Without KRISHNA , our week would be: Sinday, Mournday, Tearsday, Wasteday, Thirstday, Fightday & Shatterday.

Remember seven days WITHOUT KRISHNA makes a week WEAK!!
