Today's Thought: |
 |
Why Godhead Instead of Just God?
Uploaded from Kaunas, Lithuania | |
|
|
 We
describe Krishna
as the Supreme Personality of Godhead. Why do we say
"Godhead" instead of the simpler, more commonly
understood and accepted term "God"? We could just say
that Krishna is God. We learned this term "Godhead" from
Srila Prabhupada, and we use it because he uses it. So
why does he use it? Srila Prabhupada has not invented
anything new. He has simply presented the timeless
message of the Vedas in the most powerful,
compassionate, and attractive way to relieve the
suffering humanity from the countless distresses of
material existence. This term "Godhead" is the English
translation of the Sanskrit word "Bhagavan," which
appears in the very first verse of the Srimad Bhagavatam
and means "one who is full in all opulences." These
opulences are six in number: power, beauty,
renunciation, knowledge, wealth, fame. The Sanskrit word
for God is "ishvara," which means controller. This word
covers the opulence of power, but it does not accurately
convey the other five opulences. Therefore the term
"Godhead" is a more accurate and complete designation
for the Supreme Person.

Answers According to the Vedic Version: | |
|
|
Question: Why I Don't Taste Bhakti Sweetness? |
|
|
Srila Gurudeva,
Please accept my humble obeisances.
I read your "Thought for the Day" every day. You
describe Krishna consciousness as if it is filled with
nectar. But then why am I not able to taste that same
sweetness?
V.J.

Answer: You Are Doing
Something Wrong |
|
|
It is a fact that Krishna
consciousness, when practiced correctly, manifests
unlimited oceans of transcendental bliss. If you are not
tasting this bliss, you are not practicing Krishna
consciousness correctly.
We do not taste happiness when we try to taste it. We
taste happiness when we try to give happiness to
Krishna. So if you are not tasting happiness, you should
sincerely try to please Lord Krishna with all of your
thoughts, words, and deeds in all times, places, and
circumstances. Then you will surely derive great taste
from the process of Krishna consciousness at every
minute.
