Today's Thought: |
 |
Always Connect with the Essence of Existence
Uploaded from Sydney, Australia |
|
|
|
 Always
connect with the essence of existence. Otherwise
you will be carried away by the externals and remain
subjected to the miseries of this material world. The
essence of existence is loving service to the original
source of everything, the Supreme Personality of
Godhead. Once you are fully connected with Him, the
seed-giving father of all, who reveals Himself in the
Bhagavad-gita as Krishna, you will never be touched by
the miseries of birth, death, old age, and disease ever
again.

Answers According to the Vedic Version: |

|
|
Question:
Which is Better: 16 Rounds or 64 Rounds? |
|
|
Dear
Gurudeva,
Please accept my humble obeisances at your feet,
Recently I was discussing with a devotee who said
that chanting 64 rounds of japa mala every day is the
highest service, even if it means compromising one's
facility to perform devotional service. But, Gurudeva,
isn't it better to do 16 rounds of chanting and utilize
the remaining time for some sort of service such as
preaching or book distribution? Which is better chanting
16 rounds or chanting 64 rounds per day?
Thank you,
Amith

Answer: Serving Guru's
Order is the Best |
|
|
Krishna states that the
highest duty is to surrender unto Him and that we should
surrender unto Him by surrendering to his
representative, the bona fide spiritual master.
Therefore the highest principle is not how many rounds
you chant. The highest principle is to follow the orders
of your spiritual master.
Since ISKCON Founder-Acharya, His Divine Grace A.C.
Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada, orders his followers to
chant at least sixteen rounds of japa daily and to fully
absorb themselves in activities for the salvation of the
suffering human society--for ISKCON devotees a
combination of chanting at least 16 rounds daily and
working for the salvation of the human society is the
highest principle.
