VyasaPuja “I want all of you to come to Goloka Vrindavan, but I want you to be qualified for it too…”
A quote There is no birth or death for the soul, so why are we coming here and suffering? It is because we have forgotten our loving father, mother, friend, and most beloved – Krsna, the embodiment of love. We are His parts and parcels, but now we have forgotten Him, and that is why we experience birth, old age, death, and their concomitant sufferings. One day we were little babies, and one day, although we desire that this stage will not come, we will all have to give up these bodies. We can stop all of these things very easily by chanting and remembering Sri Krsna. Anyone – old, young, Hindu, or Muslim – anyone can chant the name of God. There is no time limit; you can do this in the night or the day. And there is no expense at all. Without any money or any special conditions, we can chant, "Hare Krsna Hare Krsna, Krsna Krsna Hare Hare, Hare Rama Hare Rama, Rama Rama Hare Hare." By this chanting, you will develop love for all. You will not be able to kill any animal, or even a tree. You will not want to give pain even to grass. You will see God and souls everywhere. God is so merciful. This is our mission.
A Small Question Can we ever attain Krishna without a Guru? Why?
O Gurudeva! I offer my humble pranams from my inner heart. With the torch light of divine knowledge (as the operating tool) you open my eyes blinded by darkness of ignorance. Om ajñāna timirāndhasya Jñānāñjana śalākayā Cakśur unmîlitam yena Tasmai śri gurave namah
