 On
4 November 2011 we headed out from Vrindavan town to
Nandagram and Barshana, the respective childhood homes
of Lord Krishna and Srimati Radharani. To actually be in
the places of Lord Krishna's pastimes on this planet is
a greatly rewarding experience. Krishna is not a myth.
He is a real person who displayed the most amazing
transcendental pastimes 5,000 years ago when He appeared
on Earth. And if we qualify ourselves through pure love
for Him we can see Him face-to-face, eye-to-eye even
today.

Question: Why Spiritual Name is Important? |
|
|
Dear Gurudeva!
Please accept my humble obeisances at your lotus feet!
All glories to Srila Prabhupada!
This is my question:
Why is the spiritual name given so much importance?

Answer: It Saves the Disciple
from Greatest Danger |
|
|
Srila
Prabhupada has very nicely explained in his purport to
Srimad Bhagavatam 6.2.32 why spiritual names are given
so much importance:
"Guru-krsna-prasade paya bhakti-lata-bija: [Cc. Madhya
19.151] by the mercy of the guru and Krishna, one
receives the seed of bhakti. This association saves a
devotee from the greatest fear. In our Krishna
consciousness movement we therefore change a devotee's
name to a form that reminds him of Vishnu. If at the
time of death the devotee can remember his own name,
such as Krishna dasa or Govinda dasa, he can be saved
from the greatest danger. Therefore the change of names
at the time of initiation is essential. The Krishna
consciousness movement is so meticulous that it gives
one a good opportunity to remember Krishna somehow or
other."
