krsna Posted October 30, 2004 Report Share Posted October 30, 2004 So my request is that you continue your devotional service very faithfully and rigidly, then in this life you will be able to see Krsna face to face. That is a fact. So you follow the advice, as given by Rupa Gosvami, utsahat. The first thing is enthusiasm, that "I must see Krsna." You are seeing Krsna. The Deity of Krsna and Krsna is not different. But even personally we can see. Simply we have to continue the enthusiasm. Departure Lecture Caracas, February 25, 1975 Just like we are sitting face to face, Krsna is like that. You can have that opportunity. Just like Arjuna had the opportunity. Similarly you'll have the opportunity. You have to take the opportunity. You'll see Krsna face to face, talk with Him face to face, play with Him face to face. It is so nice, Krsna consciousness.

krsna Posted May 14, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 14, 2006 It is truly false humility of the most crooked kind that boasts that getting Krsna and Krsna Prema in this very lifetime is NOT possible. Why not? Who or what is stopping us from attaining the topmost goal of Love of Krsna? Is Maya stronger than Krsna? Is the Holy name and the mercy of the Vaisnavas incapable to deliver us to the lotus feet of Krsna? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krsna Posted May 15, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 15, 2006 "Not only is the chanter of the maha-mantra purified, but the heart of anyone who happens to hear the transcendental vibration of Hare Krsna, Hare Krsna, Krsna Krsna, Hare Hare/ Hare Rama, Hare Rama, Rama Rama, Hare Hare is also cleansed. Even the souls embodied in lower animals, insects, trees and other species of life also become purified and prepared to become fully Krsna conscious simply by hearing the transcendental vibration. This was explained by Thakura Haridasa when Caitanya Mahaprabhu inquired from him how living entities lower than human beings can be delivered from material bondage. Haridasa Thakura said that the chanting of the holy names is so powerful that even if one chants in the remotest parts of the jungle, the trees and animals will advance in Krsna consciousness simply by hearing the vibration. This was actually proved by Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu Himself when He passed through the forest of Jharikhanda. At that time the tigers, snakes, deer and all other animals abandoned their natural animosity and began chanting and dancing in sankirtana. Of course, we cannot imitate the activities of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu, but we should follow in His footsteps. We are not powerful enough to enchant the lower animals such as tigers, snakes, cats and dogs or entice them to dance, but by chanting the holy names of the Lord we can actually convert many people throughout the world to Krsna consciousness."
