Today's Thought:

The Whole World is Waiting
Uploaded from Sydney, Australia

The present world civilization is drowning in an ocean of nescience. People are so much deluded that they don't even realize that they are suffering. Even though they are in a miserable condition being dragged to old age and death by the insurmountable wheel of time, they imagine that they are happy by gratifying their senses. But since the happiness of the senses is only temporary and because it does not touch the actual self, no one is actually satisfied. What this means is that the whole world is waiting for the devotees of the Krishna consciousness movement to deliver them from the quagmire into which they have so deeply sunk.

Answers According to the Vedic Version:

Question: If Chanting Hare Krishna is the Only Way


I have been wandering if chanting the Hare Krishna mahamantra (among other things) is the only way back to Krishnaloka, the transcendental kingdom of God, in this Kali yuga, the materialistic age of Kali, why didn't Krishna give this direct instruction in the Bhagavad-gita?

Thank you in advance for your answer.

Answer: Chanting Any Name of God is the Only Way


Chanting the names of God is described in the Vedic literature as the only means of deliverance in this age. Although the Vedic scriptures inform us that the Hare Krishna mantra is the most effective means of deliverance, they do not tell us that chanting Hare Krishna is the only way to attain spiritual perfection. One can chant any name of God with pure love and attain spiritual perfection in this age.

I do not know how you can ask why Krishna did not instruct us in the Bhagavad-gita to chant His name. He directly mentions in the ninth chapter that we should chant His name 24 hours daily. Since all names of God are names of Krishna, this instruction can refer to chanting any name of God.
