THE Place for Inspiration, Enlivenment, Nourishment for Practioners in Devotional Service to Enhance Faith, Determination and Conviction.
In the modern world, seeing one another is highly emphasized. How can a boy and girl marry without seeing each other? It seems impossible. But if love is dependent on seeing, why do couples who keep intently gazing at each other’s faces for the whole day get separated? Can we truly love those whom we haven’t seen?
Attachment between man and a woman forms a tight knot in the heart. We have intensified this knot through lifetimes of indulgence. What are the dangers of subtle gratification? How can we untie this knot, and not miss the bus back to Godhead?
According to survey, one in four adults experience loneliness on a regular basis. Can we, as devotees, feel lonely? What can be the cause of our loneliness, and how to overcome it?
What are the different kinds of terrorism that we may face? How can they be uprooted?
How can we, as sadhakas, stay high forever in the midst of unlimited avenues of sense gratification, and unlimited reasons for dissatisfaction?
Can we use anger as a tool to go closer to Krishna? After all, Krishna is our master and maintainer. Can we not express unto Him our emotions, including anger freely?
Many times, this question arises — Should I work hard for Krishna? Or should I focus more on prayer and surrender? Some devotees emphasize prayers and introspection, while others focus more on action and tangible service.
Do we have to choose one, or is it possible to integrate both? After all, spiritual life is ultimately a path of grace. So shouldn’t prayer alone be enough?
I was never someone who liked to dance. But, in Mahaprabhu’s sankirtana movement, dancing isn’t optional; it’s essential! Prabhupada not only made the whole world dance in spiritual joy, but he himself offered a heart-melting dance choreographed by Mahaprabhu’s intimate associates.
