Jun 24 2007 Part 2: Being Focused, cont.

Being focused-June 24, 2008-Split Croatia Those of us who were around when Srila Prabhupada was on the planet remember that the movement and its members were extremely focused on the mission. The mission was also very very clear to us (becoming Kcon and bringing others to Kcon). Why were we so focused and how have read more>>

Jun 24 2007 Emotional Freedom

Emotional Freedom-June 26, 2007 In my travels I have noticed many devotees suffering from the effects of emotional dependency or attempting to free themselves from emotional dependency. I am impelled by my desire/need to help devotees to write about this subject. Emotional dependency can affect GBCs, Presidents, Gurus, brahmacaries, householders, disciples, authorities, preachers, husbands, wives, read more>>

Jun 22 2007 Emotions or Intelligence

June 22, 2008 Split Croatia. Before continuing with my thoughts about being focused I would like to address the concerns of a devotee who communicated with me after reading the first portion of this present topic (Being focused).

Jun 18 2007 Our Need for Autonomy

Our Need for Autonomy Autonomy is an interesting concept. It is defined as: “independence or freedom, as of the will or one’s actions.” It is a basic need of the soul to be autonomous, which basically means the soul needs to be free to express itself. Outside of Krishna consciousness autonomy is not possible for read more>>

Jun 6 2007 Love Yourself

Love Yourself!!! That’s an interesting title for a Krishna conscious blog-“Love Yourself.” Many devotees are under the impression that we should love Krishna and denigrate ourselves! It is understandable that they think this way because there are many statements that one may misunderstand such as: 1. Thinking oneself lower than the straw in the street read more>>

Jun 5 2007 Do I have to or do I have a choice to?

June 5, 2007 It’s been a few days since I wrote my blog, and I have really been missing the writing. For the last few days I have been at the GBC meeting in New Vrindavan so time has been short. But I have learnt a lot about myself during these meetings. Some people picture read more>>

May 27 2007 Synchronicity

May 27, 2007 There is a philosophy going around that if you desire something enough in a positive way, and you visualize it continually the universe will deliver the fruits of that desire. There are some instances depicted where a man really wants something like a new sports car and he meditates on it (don’t read more>>

May 25 2007 Psychology of Hiranyaksa

May 25, 2007 I have been missing writing to the blog for a few days. I have been getting many letters of encouragement. Yesterday’s class was about the psychology of Hiranyaksa. Hiranyaksa means one who has his eyes always on gold! What a name. Many years ago when I first joined the movement I would read more>>

May 20 2007 How to Deal with Anger

May 29, 2007 This morning in Bhagavatam class we discussed anger and how to deal with it. This discussion was in the context of the description of Lord Boar speaking in such a way as to make Hiranyaksa angry. “The Personality of Godhead said: Indeed, We are creatures of the jungle, and We are searching read more>>

May 18 2007 Blaming Others

May 18, 2007 Yesterday at the meeting one devotee was commenting that on each level of ISKCON management we find devotees blaming the persons on the level just above them for their problems. That is if one is a cook in the temple for example, one will blame the temple commander, if one is the read more>>

May 16 2007 Desire for Independence

May 16, 2007 Yesterday I mentioned the desire for independence and that I still had this. I think it is important that I clarify what I meant by independence. I was not indicating independence from Krishna. No one is independent from Krishna and the thought that one is or can be is Maya. However as read more>>

May 15 2007 Management and What I Like to Do

May 15, 2007 I just arrived in Houston, Texas for our North American GBC and leadership meetings which will last 4 days. Management is not a sannyasi’s traditional duty nor is it something that is high up in my list either. When I first joined the movement, I definitely had a desire to control and read more>>

May 13 2007 Obsession and Attachment

May 13, 2007 I know I said I would write about a very good devotee in this blog but I have decided to put that topic aside for now as I feel inspired to write about another topic that is impelling me to write. I have to make a real confession to my readers. I read more>>

May 10 2007 More On Chanting

May 10, 2007 Some further hints about how to increase the quality of Japa have come to mind. I have been practicing these for some time. Actually chanting nicely in the morning starts the night before. What we do right before taking rest at night affects our consciousness not only while we are resting but read more>>

May 7 2007 How to Chant Nicely

May 7, 2007 The names of Krishna are the repository of all happiness. They are the greatest wealth! If we chant properly, we will not experience material miseries (spiritual miseries like the feeling of intense separation from Krishna are another thing!). So the question arises as to how we can chant nicely, even if we read more>>

May 3 2007 Going to Vaikuntha

May 3, 2007 Going to Vaikuntha We had a very interesting discussion on today’s SB verse 4.12.36: “The self-effulgent Vaikuntha planets, by whose illumination alone all the illuminating planets within this material world give off reflected light, cannot be reached by those who are not merciful to other living entities. Only persons who constantly engage read more>>

May 2 2007 Austerities

May 2, 2007 Last night we had a interesting discussion about austerities. My understanding is that Krishna consciousness is meant to be “joyfully performed.” In other words, whatever austerities that we may execute should be done joyfully or happily. For many this appears to be a tall order. There are different motivations that people have read more>>
