[Guest guest]

for bhakta/matas who stop chanting hare-krishna,

what advice can you give?

 

 

[yasodanandana]

basically to give a good example that chanting hare krsna is possible to became very happy

 

then

 

to associate and stay together in holidays.. vacations and chant hare krsna praying that they return to the previous habit

 

to chant hare krishna one has to remain in association with people who chant, or very soon we stop

I thought I would sign in as guest, but I just say,

that for past 4 days i stopped chanting my rounds,

it is the first time in 2 years, 8 months 16 rounds,

I know why it happened (i think), i criticized a pure

devotee, without even almost knowing it, i never thought

this day would ever come, this is a very good lesson

for me, i had help from a pure devotee in Vraj,

but i wanted to tell my story. this is what happens

when you criticize.

 

Stay away from bhakta's who criticize.

 

I feel ashamed that i participated in this

forum the last 4 days also.. i didn't have

to say all these things, but it is for the

benefit of aspiring Krishna's.

 

Believe me when I say I have tears in

my eyes...I will keep chanting though!

 

Hopefuly I won't regret this post.

I think the pure devotee of the lord never gets criticism prabhu, if he feels criticized then that would mean that he is not a pure devotee. If you think about it , How can one criticize a soul who is protected under the shelter of Srimati Radharani and Krishna? So, I think you need to forget about everything and start working for krishna again. The offense is a perceived notion in the mind and is not real for one engaged in his duty.

You just need some encouragement to chant /images/graemlins/wink.gif

Think of how happy krishna will be, dancing on your tongue like that or think how happy radha will be, seeing you ready to serve krishna.

 

Also, you are better than me , I get exhausted after 5 to 6 rounds, atleast you have chanted all 16 rounds for 2 years. I can't do that, Yet.

 

( oh yea, if he is a pure devotee and was mad at you for some reason, I think he will forgive you right away ... considering he is a pure devotee) /images/graemlins/grin.gif

I don't know where you are, but if i were you, and it was possible, i would just go to the temple and bow down before the dieties and pray. I always feel better when i look at the deities. Sometimes chanting rounds can still be a little mechanical and i feel better standing in the temple and just looking at the dieties, it seems more personal. Tomorrow you can start chanting a fixed number of rounds again.

they seem more personal than my chanting

[Guest guest]

looking at these will make you feel better. /images/graemlins/smile.gif
