Today's Thought:

Life is Sublime--On the Road Again
Uploaded from London, England

Krishna consciousness is so wonderful that life is sublime no matter you are doing in Krishna consciousness. The seven weeks we just spent off the road at Bhaktivedanta Ashram in Austin, Texas were the sweetest nectar, so relishable that we could have stayed there forever. And now that we are out on another around-the-world lecture tour, this is also the sweetest nectar. The key to experiencing the ultimate happiness is that whatever you are doing, do it for Krishna. Let Him be the enjoyer of the results of your activities. Then you can engage in any occupational duty and experience it as the sweetest nectar.

Question: Is Jesus the Only Way?


Dear Master,

My question is: Is Jesus the Christ the son of Lord Krishna?

I ask this because Jesus tells us,"I am the Way, the Truth and the Life.  No one comes to the Father but by me."
 
Thank you very much,

Answer: His Way is the Only Way


Since in the Bible Jesus Christ reveals that He is the son of God, and since in the Bhagavad-gita Krishna reveals that He is God, the father of all living beings, we can conclude that Jesus Christ is the son of Lord Krishna. Although he may have used a different name for the Supreme Person in his preaching, the Supreme Person can only be one, although the names may be different. For example in Spanish a flower is called "flor" and in English it is called "flower." But in spite of the different names, the flower is the same.

Christ was the perfect embodiment of pure bhakti, pure devotional service to Lord Krishna. This is the way that he defines himself to be. So when he says that no one comes to the Father except through him, he is saying that no one comes to the Father except through the way of pure devotion.

Those who separate Christ from pure devotion will derive a fanatical, divisive understanding from Christ's word's. Those who identify Christ with pure devotion will understand that he is teaching the universal bhakti path, not a fanatical divisive sect.
