BHAGWAT GEETA...SOUL

The soul can never be cut into pieces by any weapon, nor can he be burned by fire, nor moistened by water, nor withered by the wind. BG 2.23

This individual soul is unbreakable and insoluble, and can be neither burned nor dried. He is everlasting, all-pervading, unchangeable, immovable and eternally the same. BG 2.24

Know that which pervades the entire body is indestructible. No one is able to destroy the imperishable soul. [spoken by Lord Krishna - Bhagavad Gita 2.17]

For the soul there is never birth nor death. Nor, having once been, does he ever cease to be. He is unborn, eternal, ever-existing, undying and primeval. He is not slain when the body is slain. BG 2.20

Queen Kunti's Prayers

Oh Krishna as the river Ganges forever flows to the sea
let my mind, my being be constantly drawn to Thee.

Oh most gentle, Oh original personality master of the senseskrishna lotus feet
seated in the hearts of all that be, existing both within and without
seeing all but seen by none, unto you I offer all my respect.

Oh Krishna, Oh soul of the universe beyond the range of our perception covered by the curtain of misconception
we are bewildered by your movements.

Though you work you are inactive, thought you take birth you are unborn and though you descent, amongst men,sages,animals and aquatics.

You are the transcendent reality and although you are unknown above all that be you reveal yourself to the surrendered souls
who worship you in the core of their hearts unto you I offer all my respects.

Oh Krishna, Oh eternal master and friend once when you were a small child Your mother Yasoda took a rope to bind you. Your perturbed eyes filled with tears and though fear personified is afraid of you at that moment you were afraid how can i understand these things.

Oh my lord I offer all to you, Oh Lord whose glance is as cool as a lotus who protected us from the great fire from Poisonous cake from cannibals from the vicious assembly of the kurus from sufferings and in exile from a fierce battle from a devastating weapon

You befriended us and stayed with us and guided us
through all tribulations I offer myself and whatever I have unto you
my lord your loving kindness and mercy often comes clothed in strange guises enveloped in a shroud of tribulation yet our journey through life is made easy by these hardships you provide

Oh Lord let us not falsely claim that this world is our home
let us not ever forget that this place is full of danger and let the calamities come again and again that we may remember you and meet with you again and again for by remember you we no longer meet with repeated birth and death.

Oh Krishna, those who always hear your glories who always repeat your glories who always see you in all things who always take pleasure in your pastimes certainly find shelter at your Louts Feet.

fruitseller My lord you can be easily approached but only by those who are exhausted with sensual pleasure unimpressed with opulence
unimpressed with fame and wealth with prestigious birth and scholarship only by those who are finished with idle talk
finished with mundane beauty finished with all forms of religiosity.

My Lord I am not afraid to be abandoned by luck and good fortune
by friends and relatives I am not afraid to be handled roughly O_My_Lord_Krishna
I am not afraid to be wander the streets homeless like a beggar
I am not afraid to be cast away condemned, quarantined or exiled

Oh most gentle, most holy, most merciful master help me, prepare me do whatever is necessary to render fit this unworthy soul for entrance into your eternal abode.

-Queen Kunti's Prayers

WHY IS CHANTING HARE KRSNA MAHA MANTRA SO IMPORTANT!!

WHY IS CHANTING HARE KRSNA MAHA MANTRA SO IMPORTANT!!!

Authorized Process
Hare Krsna Hare Krsna Krsna Krsna hHre Hare
Hare Rama Hare Rama Rama Rama Hare Hare
iti sodasakam namnam kali-kalmasa-nasanam
natah parataropayah sarva-vedesu drsyate

“Hare Krsna, Hare Krsna, Krsna Krsna, Hare Hare/ Hare Raama, Hare Raama, Raama Raama, Hare Hare. These sixteen names composed of thirty-two syllables are the only means of counteracting the evil effects of the Kali-yuga. After searching through all the Vedic literature, one cannot find a method of religion for this age so sublime as the chanting of the Hare Krsna mantra”
(Kali-santarana Upaniñad)

It is said that in Kali-yuga (the present yuga, or age), when people in general are short-lived, slow in spiritual realization and always disturbed by various anxieties, the best means of spiritual realization is chanting the holy name of the Lord.

harer naama harer naama
harer naamaiva kevalam
kalau naasty eva naasty eva
naasty eva gatir anyathaa

"In this age of quarrel and hypocrisy the only means of deliverance is chanting the holy name of the Lord. There is no other way. There is no other way. There is no other way."
(Brhan-naaradiya Puraaëa)

Meaning of Hare Krsna Mantra

Mahaa-mantra: The Great Chant of Deliverance – Hare Krsna Hare Krsna, Krsna Krsna Hare Hare, Hare Rama Hare Rama, Rama Rama Hare Hare. The Hare Krsna mahaa-mantra also says, “My dear Lord Krsna, my dear Lord Raama, O energy of the Lord, Hare, kindly engage me in Your service.”
(Purport, Srimad-Bhaagavatam 4.24.60)


1. Why not other Mantras (like the Gaayatri Mantra or the Oà)?

Because the Gaayatri mantra is especially meant for God realization, it represents the Supreme Lord. This mantra is meant for spiritually advanced people, and when one attains success in chanting it, he can enter into the transcendental position of the Lord. One must first acquire the qualities of the perfectly situated person, the qualities of goodness according to the laws of material nature, in order to chant the Gaayatri mantra.
(Purport, Bhagavad-gitaa 10.35)

cow protection is essential_Srimad Bhagwatam

cow protection is essential. There is a miracle in milk, for it contains all the necessary vitamins to sustain human physiological conditions for higher achievements. (Srimad Bhagavatam 1.16.4 Purport)

…The cow is the most important animal for developing the human body to perfection. The body can be maintained by any kind of foodstuff, but cow’s milk is particularly essential for developing the finer tissues of the human brain so that one can understand the intricacies of transcendental knowledge. A civilized man is expected to live on foodstuffs comprising fruits, vegetables, grains, sugar and milk. The bull helps in the agricultural process of producing grain, etc., and thus in one sense the bull is the father of humankind, whereas the cow is the mother, for she supplies milk to human society. A civilized man is therefore expected to give all protection to the bulls and cows. (Srimad Bhagavatam 3.5.7 Purport)

…Milk is compared to nectar, which one can drink to become immortal. Of course, simply drinking milk will not make one immortal, but it can increase the duration of one’s life. In modern civilization, men do not think milk to be important, and therefore they do not live very long. Although in this age men can live up to one hundred years, their duration of life is reduced because they do not drink large quantities of milk. This is a sign of Kali-yuga. In Kali-yuga, instead of drinking milk, people prefer to slaughter an animal and eat its flesh. The Supreme Personality of Godhead, in His instructions of Bhagavad-gītā, advises go-rakṣya, which means cow protection. The cow should be protected, milk should be drawn from the cows, and this milk should be prepared in various ways. One should take ample milk, and thus one can prolong one’s life, develop his brain, execute devotional service, and ultimately attain the favor of the Supreme Personality of Godhead. (Srimad Bhagavatam 8.6.12 Purport)
