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.

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.
