Unbelievably Stimulating Happiness
Uploaded from Bhaktivedanta Ashram--Austin,

This
material world is a place of bad
association. This is why you need the association of
Krishna's devotees as much as possible. And this is why
it is imperative that you take shelter of a bona fide
spiritual master for being expertly guided along the
pathway of self-realization. In other words, your
consciousness is a mirror of those with whom you
associate. By associating with materialists you become a
materialist. And by associating with spiritualists you
become a spiritualist. Since earning a livelihood means
associating with materialists for many hours a day,
your life should not be centered around earning your
livelihood. It must be centered instead on awakening the
dormant Krishna consciousness, which is currently sound
asleep within your heart. This will give you a life of
unbelievably stimulating happiness.

Answers According to the Vedic Version: | |
|
Question: Is Jesus the Only Way? |
|
Dear
Gurudeva,
Please guide me out from the confusion that I have in my
mind. At the moment I am in a relationship with a girl
who accepts Lord Jesus Christ as her savior and her only
Lord. I really wish to get married and have a Krishna
conscious family with her in the future. But anytime we
talk about it she always argues that only by accepting
Lord Jesus can we save our lives and be together. I try
to explain all I know about Lord Sri Krishna and teach
her to chant the mahamantra. But when she is chanting
the mahamantra she always remembers the words of Lord
Jesus and she becomes sad and feels that she is making a
big sin.
Gurudeva, please enlighten me about this matter.
Is there any information about Lord Jesus in the Vedas?

Answer: The Way of Jesus
is the Only Way |
|
Since
Jesus is teaching the path of exclusive devotion to the
Supreme Lord, we accept that his way is the only way.
This is confirmed in the Bhagavad-gita in which Krishna
states that we should abandon all other duties and
simply surrender to Him. Therefore we have no problem or
disagreement with the teachings of Jesus. The only
problem is that the so-called Christians do not
understand the teachings of Jesus.
It does not make any sense for this girl to be so
disturbed. Nicely explain to her that since, according
to the revealed scriptures, Jesus is the son of God and
Krishna is God the Father, there cannot be any
disagreement between them. Therefore whether we chant
Christ or Krishna, in either case we awaken the feelings
of love of God within our hearts. If we accept the son,
we cannot reject the father. And if we accept the
father, we cannot reject the son. So, those who are
learned in the science of devotion accept with loving
gratitude both Lord Jesus and Lord Krishna.
Christ was predicted 3,000 years before his appearance
by Srila Vyasadeva in the Bhavisya Purana, as Jesus--the
Messiah, who would establish religious principles among
the mlecchas.
