Today's Thought: |

Initiation Is Not Sufficient for Liberation
Uploaded from Bhaktivedanta Ashram--Austin,
Texas USA |
|
|
To
be initiated by any guru is not sufficient for going
back to Godhead. The guru who can deliver you back to
home, back to the spiritual world must himself be
engaged 24 hours daily in Krishna's service and engage
you also in doing that. Initiation means beginning. It
does not mean that you are now delivered. It can be
compared to registering as a student in a university.
Registration does not mean that you are now graduated.
It simply means that you are now formally beginning your
studies. Would you want to enroll in a university that
registers you but does not teach you anything? Being
associated with such a university would be a useless
waste of time. Similarly the association of any guru who
does not teach you practically how to be engaged 24
hours daily in Krishna's service is a useless waste of
time. Such a so-called guru should be scrupulously
avoided. Find that guru who can engage you 24 hours
daily in Krishna's service and take complete shelter of
him as your eternal spiritual master.

Answers According to the Vedic Version: |
|
|
Question: Do You Destroy American Culture? |
|
Do you
destroy the American way of life.
J.F.
|
|
Answer: We Are
Re-Americanizing It. |
|
Krishna consciousness is
not the destruction of the American way of life. Rather
it is its perfection. The United States of America was
founded by people who were being persecuted for their
religious practices in England and who wanted a place
where they could worship and serve God without being
restricted. If you study the early literature of the
USA, you will see that it is 100% devotional literature.
So the real meaning of the American way of life is God
consciousness. This is why we still see printed on the
American dollar the words, "In God We Trust." Sadly due
to the influence of the age of Kali, America is
gradually moving further and further away from her God
conscious roots. In other words, she is becoming more
and more un-American. The Krishna consciousness movement
is endeavoring to re-Americanize the USA, to bring her
back again to her original wonderful God consciousness.
If the leaders of the USA can seriously accept the
guidance of the Krishna consciousness movement, this
country can bring in a new unparalleled age of peace and
prosperity for the benefit of the entire human society.
