But remember when you chant you should NOT dwell on your material/study work

Actually I have been in the same situation.I have worked in canada and then in saudi arabia as a web developer. Both these places are a far cry to develop krishna conciousness.But the truth is without krishna's will not even a blade of grass can move. It is his will that you go to America.WELL actually he fulfilled your desire. Now the question comes because you are sincerly interested in krishna conciousness what to do.HAVE BALANCE. I got into the habit of chanting 16 rounds a day after seeing the muslims pray five times a day.I have broken up my sixteen rounds into 4 parts. ONE - Before breakfast Two - Before lunch THREE -Evening after work Four- Before going to sleep This way you are connected to krishna.But remember when you chant you should dwell on your material/study work. As far as the 4 conditions are there no illicit sex,no intoxication,meat,gambling you will be tempted by your friends SO CHOOSE YOUR FRIENDS WISELY OR ATLEAST LET THEM KNOW YOU ARE NO THEIR TYPE IN THESE ISSUES. And keep sunday like the jews "The Sabbath Day" DO NOTHING BUT JUST ASSOCIATE WITH ISKCON CENTER ACTIVITIES/OR STAY AT HOME DEVELOP KRISHNA CONCIOUSNESS. This MAYA is very difficult to overcome when we work abroad because in India we can live simple.But there it is a high octane work culture.We have to survive.Dont worry pray to krishna always for his mercy to develop your krishna conciousness and keep a balance between work and devotion. Krishna understands as he is Paramatma.

If i beleive this is a discussion forum and i aint saying follow osho and not prabhupada.Neither i am saying i am a osho follower. Apparently his book on krishna was of interest.And so are praphupada books.This is a discussion forum and if i seem to be a osho follower you are mistaken .Reading a book written by a person and discussing about it is very natural is a discussion forum. I could have posted as a guest.Banning me would have no effect as i could always login on a different name. I beleive it is important for discussion forums to be open to all types of thoughts.It is good that you have expressed a lot a lot of anti-osho comments.This will help people to decide who is correct. I aint going to post any comments on osho books as i see that it is pointless to discuss even a book i have read recently.Regardless of the lifestyle that person has lived. But i would continue to say " read his book and make your judgement " I will not post anything related to osho and i am sorry if if it seems to propogate osho .

And if the sexual urge has to be controlled you have to do fasting . And fasting also strengtens the mind. Fast once a week on friuts/satvic guna will become more.You are in rajasic guna if you have more sexual urge. Avoid spicy food,throw out all the literature/videos you have collected. If you want instant relief from lustfull thoughts drinking 2-3 glasses of water and deep breathing 2-3 minutes will help to neautralize the emotion.Then slowly breath to normal. Food/Breathing(Pranayama) have a direct influence on our lust.Do the suppress your thoughts but simply realize that your mind is up to its tricks.If you follow the above two it will be possible.

If osho is a animal how come his books are still sold in the world.And accepted all over the world ? Especially in india.His ashram still exists in india. "I WANT TO REMIND YOU THAT WHETHER I AM HERE OR NOT THE CELEBRATION HAS TO CONTINUE.IF I AM NOT HERE,THEN IT HAS TO BE MORE INTENSE AND IT HAS TO SPREAD AROUND THE WORLD. CELEBRATION IS MY RELIGION.LOVE IS MY MESSAGE.SILENCE IN MY TRUTH." These words of osho do not seem he is a animal but a deeply rich,happy,joyfull human being. It is very easy to say he is bad but was not jesus crucified himself for his outspokeness.Great humans are always misunderstood as they are more outspoken. Read his books and make your judgement.

Its true his disciples are misleading but i am sure there are genuine disciples too. Strangly but in the book Osho excepts krishna as a multidimension personality though the title of the book is "krishna-the man and his philosophy" and also is ALL PRAISE of Chitanya Mahaprabhu.!! In fact he has dedicated a seperate chapter "Krishna Goes to the West " where he supports the idea that krishna conciousness is perfect for the western thought.He also praises the young hare krishna youth dancing in abandon in the west . If you have Osho diciple friends tell them to read the book and then they will automatically respect the krishna concious culture.Osho writes for the general intellectual people who find it hard to understand krishna as god. He also excepts Krishna as a purna avatar and compares krishna with rama.Which shows he is aware of other avataras. In may feel offensive to support krishna when Osho himself is full of contradictions.When osho writes he never believed that he is starting a cult.It is for us to choose to read or not to read.

I chant 16 rounds.I know some prabupada disciples but i will stay with both. : ) There is a divine aspect even in oshos teaching of krishna consiousness.

Modern society is full of flaws and religion has been totally been impractical.Osho has been able to describe the non attachment of krishna in the right aspect. Maybe you have not read the book but i have , i belong to a conservative middle class family.Brought with traditional values i have always loved the teaching of Praphupada.They stike a devotional note but osho strikes a intellectual note about krishna consiousness. He may not appeal to you but it is not necessary he is imaginary.Krishna is full of contradictions.In his lifetime itself there are lot of people who have not accepted him as the divine purna avatar and so is Osho and his followers who seems to be full of contradictions. Religion cannot solve all problems.In fact we see there are more problems due to religious misunderstanding. However reading his discourses are very important to understand the problems that plague the modern society due to lack of krishna consiousness. http://www.otoons.com/osho/askosho7.htm http://www.otoons.com/osho/askosho.htm http://www.meditate-celebrate.com/pages/intellect.html
