Therefore in spite of millions and billions of dollars being spent every year on health care we are still a global community of people afflicted with deluge of health problems. Of course just as death cannot be eliminated, disease also cannot be eliminated. Both death and disease are inseparable factors of the material nature. But through Krishna consciousness, the ultimate healing system, one can regain one's original transcendental body which is not subject to birth, death, old age, and disease. When the spiritual body is reactivated, its covering, the material body, naturally lives longer in a much healthier condition. So if you want to be healthy, the first thing you need to do to create the best possible foundation for excellent health. You need to realize that you are not your body, that you are the eternal spirit-soul servant of God. Reconnect with Krishna today through the transcendental process of meditating on His sound incarnation: Hare Krishna, Hare Krishna, Krishna Krishna, Hare Hare / Hare Rama, Hare Rama, Rama Rama Hare Hare. I described the perfection of healing on Radio Station KOOP in Austin, Texas on 23 January 2012. That hour long show is now online. You can hear it right now through the player available through this link: http://www.backtohome.com/Radio_Shows/23_Jan_2012.htm The host, Teresa Maijala, was very appreciative of the Krishna consciousness movement. Sankarshan Das Adhikari ================================================================== Revealing the Perfection of Healing ================================================================== With Host Teresa Maijala on Radio Station KOOP Austin, Texas-23 January 2012 http://www.backtohome.com/images/Austin_2011/Radio_Show2_23Jan.jpg ================================================================== Answers by Citing the Vedic Version: ================================================================== Question: Chanting Japa While Listening to Music? Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada Is it correct for a person to chant rounds on japa mala beads while listening to and in tune with a Kirtan playing on an audio CD player? Regards, Sunil ================================================================== Answer: Krishna's Sweet Name Does Not Need Music to Be Sweet If you were going for a job interview at a company where you really wanted to get a position, would you be listening to some music on an audio CD player during the interview? Of course not. You would be 100% tuned into the person who was interviewing you, trying to make the best impression on him so that you could be offered a position in the company. Similarly when you chant Hare Krishna you are personally meeting with Krishna in the form of your japa trying to convince Him by your sincere chanting that you are a worthy candidate for being admitted into His transcendental abode. If you can't even absorb your mind fully in your japa, needing to prop up your meditation with some music, you are not in the proper consciousness to surrender to Krishna. Therefore if you serious about going back to Godhead, you must also become serious about fully absorbing your consciousness in Krishna in the form of His holy name as it is manifested in your japa.
