Seekers Beware of Bogus Gurus
uploaded from Mauritius |
|
|
Nowadays
on this planet the spiritual seeker is bombarded by an
overwhelming profusion of spiritual masters to choose
from to guide him on his spiritual enlightenment path.
Unfortunately almost all of them are bogus because they
do not guide their students to the highest truth, which
has been so clearly been elucidated in the sublime Vedic
wisdom. Instead of teaching their disciples how to
become servants of God, they teach them that they are in
fact God, which is a complete delusion. To teach that
every individual living being is God is a round about
way of teaching atheism, because if everyone is God,
there is no Supreme God. Therefore the spiritual seeker
is advised to only accept as his spiritual master that
guru who is teaching him how to become a pure devotee of
God.

Question: Chanting Extra Rounds for the Dear Ones? |
|
Thank you for guiding us
through this difficult path of material ocean.
Question: Many times within our devotees we request each
other to pray for us, especially if any crucial event is
happening in our life. And I have heard that prayers for
others works faster then prayers for our own self. How
true is this ? Is it that when parents pray for their
children it is more effective compared to their karma in
material world? I normally chant one or more rounds with
intention of welfare for my dear ones, i.e. 17th or more
rounds. I would like to know, is it right ?

Answer: Chant All Rounds
for the Dear Ones |
|
Why only the 17th round
and beyond? You should chant all of your rounds for the
benefit of the dear ones. And who are the dear ones?
They are your family members. And who are your family
members? Because we are all God's children, our family
members are all the living beings scattered throughout
the entire universe. And what is beneficial for the
living beings? There is only thing that is truly
beneficial for them, and that is to awaken their dormant
Krishna consciousness. So if you want to chant rounds to
benefit your dear ones, you should chant all of your
rounds to awaken the dormant Krishna consciousness in
the hearts of all living beings. The propriety of this
desire is confirmed by Sri Prahlada Maharaja in this
prayer:
svasty astu viśvasya
khalaḥ prasīdatāṁ
dhyāyantu bhūtāni śivaṁ mitho dhiyā
manaś ca bhadraṁ bhajatād adhokṣaje
āveśyatāṁ no matir apy ahaitukī
"May there be good fortune throughout the universe, and
may all envious persons be pacified. May all living
entities become calm by practicing bhakti-yoga, for by
accepting devotional service they will think of each
other's welfare. Therefore let us all engage in the
service of the supreme transcendence, Lord Sri Krishna,
and always remain absorbed in thought of Him."--Srimad
Bhagavatam 5.18.9
