Lokanath Swami on Modern World
The world follows ‘Just Do It’ slogan. Thus today there is ‘high living and no thinking.’
Worshping Lord Damodara And Srimati Radharani
Among all other gopis, Srimati Radharani is the most dear to lord Krishna. Therefore in the month of karttika, one should worship Lord Damodara with Srimati Radharani near him.
Giving Things
It is said that in giving you receive! Krishna Consciousness teaches you that "In giving you learn the art of giving more".
Devotees’ Nourishment
If an ordinary man does not eat, he will grow weak and die. Similarly, if a devotee does not taste the transcendental pastimes of Lord Chaitanya Mahaprabhu and Lord Krishna, he will gradually weaken and die spiritually.
Fully Surrendered Souls
What is painful for saintly persons who strictly adhere to the truth? How could there not be independence for pure devotees who know the Supreme Lord as the substance? What deeds are forbidden for persons of the lowest character and what cannot be given up for the sake of Lord Krishna by those who have fully surrendered at His lotus feet.
Life
What is the value of a prolonged life which is wasted, inexperienced by years in this world? Better a moment of full consciousness, because that gives one a start in searching after his supreme interest.
Punishment by Maya
Forgetting Krishna, the living entity has been attracted by the external feature from time immemorial. Therefore the illusory energy [maya] gives him all kinds of misery in his material existence. In the material condition, the living entity is sometimes raised to higher planetary systems and material prosperity and sometimes drowned in a hellish situation. His state is exactly like that of a criminal whom a king punishes by submerging him in water and then raising him again from the water.
Symptoms
Anyone who is since long time in Krishna consciousness movement, that means he must have some purity. He is strictly following Guru’s instructions.
Becoming Conscious of Lord Krishna
If you become conscious of Me, (Lord Krishna) you will pass over all the obstacles of conditioned life by My grace. If, however, you do not work in such consciousness, but act through false ego, not listening to Me, you will be lost.
Good Signs in Chanting
It is the aspiration of a devotee that while he chants the Hare Krsna maha-mantra his eyes will fill with tears, his voice falter and his heart throb. These are good signs in chanting the holy name of the Lord.
