Deathlessness from the Moment of Initiation
uploaded from Santiago, Chile

On Sunday 8 January 2012 in Santiago, Chile the most auspicious initiation or spiritual rebirth of four sincere souls took place. When one takes initiation from the bona fide spiritual master he must vow to chant at least 16 rounds of the Hare Krishna mantra every day on his japa mala beads and to strictly avoid illicit sex, intoxication, meat eating, and gambling. The initiation ceremony was well attended with a packed audience who cheered in ecstasy as we gave each initiate his or her new spiritual name. By accepting initiation from the bona fide spiritual master and strictly following one's initiation vows, one attains deathlessness from the very moment of his initiation.

Answers by Citing the Vedic Version:

Question: Why Do We Exist?


One of my closest friends suggested to me to converse with you regarding my queries! One of them and the major one is, "Why do we exist?" Or in other words, "If God exists, why did He create us?"

Raaj S. C.
 


Answer: We Exist to Expand God's  Pleasure


There is no question of whether God exists or not, because if God did not exist, nothing would exist. In other words, since nothing comes out of nothing, our existence proves that God exists. God exists for the sheer pleasure of existing, and He expands all of us from Himself for the purpose of increasing His enjoyment unlimitedly through having loving relationships with each and every one of us. This is why that if we do not love God our lives are empty and meaningless, and that if we do love God, we experience the most happy, fulfilled lives.
