Rebirth in Australia

December 2011--Today in Melbourne, Australia I gave
diksha, spiritual initiation, to six devotees. Spiritual
initiation is the third step on the pathway to spiritual
perfection. First one has faith. Then he associates with
devotees. When he becomes convinced that he must fully
surrender to Lord Krishna, he then accepts initiation
from the bona fide spiritual master and learns from him
the science of how to completely surrender to Krishna.
Then he cleans the dirt out of his heart and becomes a
solidly fixed devotee. After this he reaches the stage
where he can relish all the activities of devotional
service twenty four hours daily and becomes completely
attached to Krishna. Then spiritual ecstasy awakens
within his heart and he develops pure love of God. To
attain this perfectional stage one must accept
initiation from the bona fide spiritual master and
faithfully follow his instructions. So we are very happy
that these six candidates have now fully dedicated
themselves to the process of spiritual awakening.

Question: Can I Go Back to Godhead After this Life? |
|
|
I've heard that it is very
difficult to go back to Godhead and that it takes many
lifetimes to finally get there. My question is: If we
are very serious, is it possible to go back to Godhead
after this lifetime?

Answer: Why Wait That Long? |
|
|
Why wait until after this
lifetime. You can become a fully liberated soul who is
able to see Krishna and reciprocate with Him constantly
even during the present duration of life.
In this connection Srila Prabhupada writes:
"Generally liberation takes place after one gives up
this body, but one who lives according to the example of
Prithu Maharaja is liberated even in this
lifetime."--from purport to SB 4.22.51
