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.
