14 June 2011--Krishna has so kindly blessed us with this opportunity for spreading his glories in so many countries by our travelling around the globe and to even more countries through our e-course.  But the most ecstatic thing of all is to dive deeply into the sweet nectarean ocean of Krishna's holy names. The two syllables "krish" and "na" when combined together contain more nectar than the universe can contain. When uttered purely without offense they break through the coverings of the universe and allow the chanter to enter into the sublime atmosphere of the spiritual world. Therefore the devotees always like to be absorbed in chanting:

Hare Krishna, Hare Krishna, Krishna Krishna, Hare Hare
Hare Rama, Hare Rama, Rama Rama, Hare Hare

Answers According to the Vedic Version:

Question: Is Jnana Yoga Worshipping Krishna?


Dear Spiritual Master,

If I spend one hour reading books about Krishna, does it means that I spent one hour meditating on Krishna? Does it means that I am worshiping Krishna through jnana yoga?

P.M.
 


Answer: Yes, But Bhakti Must Be Added.


Yes you are worshipping and meditating on Krishna simply by studying  Krishna conscious literature. This philosophical approach is called jnana yoga, the yoga of knowledge. However, if you simply study the books but do not follow the books, your jnana yoga will eventually become dry and tasteless and will thus gradually wither away into oblivion. The books are all telling us that we must surrender to Krishna and serve Him under the guidance of the bona fide spiritual master. So, if you will simultaneously read the books and engage in devotional service, you will be the first class jnana yogi and the first class bhakti yogi, and you will attain the topmost perfection of going back to home, back to Godhead upon leaving your present body.
