Today's Thought:

Don't Be Razzle-Dazzled by Mayadevi
Uploaded from Bhaktivedanta Ashram--Austin, Texas USA

Srimati Mayadevi has done an incredibly good packaging job to razzle-dazzle or delude the minds of the lost, confused souls in this material world. She has bundled birth, death, old age, and disease in such a way that the common unenlightened man is very much attracted to continue lifetime after lifetime his incarceration within the prison of this material existence. Those who are actually wise are not deluded by Mayadevi's expert marketing job. They can see through the hype and are therefore not mislead and cheated by Maya's charms.

Answers According to the Vedic Version:

Question:  How to Attain Krishna Consciousness?


What does one have to do to attain Krishna consciousness. I chant rounds of the Hare Krishna mantra every day on japa beads. What else should I be doing to move towards Krishna consciousness?

Another question is: How does one know that he is self-realized?  In other words, what happens when one becomes self realized, like what does he see and feel?

Answer: Accept the Bona Fide Spiritual Master


Rupa Goswami describes that becoming Krishna conscious requires that one should take shelter of the bona fide spiritual master, get initiated by him, and strictly follow his orders. To accept such a spiritual master is the crucial point for advancement in spiritual life. One who is fortunate enough to come under the shelter of the bona fide spiritual master is sure to traverse the path of spiritual salvation without any doubt.

One can understand that he has become self-realized when he is lovingly absorbed in serving Krishna in all times, places, and circumstances so deeply that he constantly experiences Krishna within everything and everything within Krishna. Such a greatly fortunate self-realized soul has no interest at all in any type of material sense gratification, gross or subtle, because he is relishing the unlimited bliss of Krishna consciousness within his heart at every minute.
