Today's Thought: |
 |
Reconnect With the Self and the Supreme Self
Uploaded from Kaliningrad, Russia | |

 At the present moment the human
society is grossly discombobulated because they are completely disconnected from themselves
and the source of their existence. Therefore, it is no
small wonder that the
entire world has been plunged into an ever-increasingly
chaotic condition. If we ask people who they are,
they will not be able to tell us. But there is hope.
Through the inconceivable healing power of mantras,
transcendental sound vibrations, one can be completely
restored to his original divine state of
enlightened consciousness. The Vedas contain thousands
and millions of bona fide mantras, but that same Vedic
wisdom advises us that in the present materialistic age
of Kali there is no mantra more powerful and more
effective for self realization than the Hare Krishna
mahamantra. Therefore anyone who is tired of suffering
in ignorance and illusion can come back to their
original, natural, harmonious consciousness quickly and
easily by chanting the Hare Krishna mahamantra on
regular daily basis.

Answers According to the Vedic Version: | |
|
|
Question: Present is Karmic Reaction of My Past? |
|
|
My dear Gurudeva
Please accept my pranam.
I have some questions about karma. I was listening a few
days ago about karma from a devotee. He said that all
happiness and distress in your life is dependent on your
past karma. Is this true? Do my present actions give me
a karmic result in my next birth? If I go to an
interview for a job and I am not selected is this my
past karma or is it that I have less talent for the job?
Your servant,
P.V

Answer: Freedom from the Prison
of Karma |
|
|
It is a fact that in this
material world all of our happiness and distress is
simply due to karma. Happiness is due to past pious
activities, and distress is due to past impious
activities. What we are doing in this lifetime determines
what will happen to us in our next lifetime. This is
called karma cakra, the wheel of karma.
Regarding your example of the job interview: Not being
selected for the job is due to past karma. Lack of
talent is also due to past karma. But even if you have
more talent, if it is not your karma to get the job, you
will not get the job.
The good news is that one can escape the prison of karma
by surrendering to Krishna. He promises us in the
Bhagavad-gita that if
we surrender ourselves to Him that He will relieve us
from all of our karma.
