Desire to become Krishna's devotee
October 16 , 2007
Hare Krishna.
It was very nice to receive your email regarding your desire to become a devotee of Lord Krishna. Krishna is so wonderful that He attracts everyone by the manifestations of His various potencies. At this time we are under the influence of and attracted by His external potency, this material world of sense gratification. This misplaced attraction has been created by our desire to enjoy independent of our eternal loving relationship with Him. The process of Krishna consciousness is the yoga of reuniting with Lord Krishna in eternal loving exchange (bhakti) by removal of the unwanted desires for independent enjoyment that now pollute our heart.
And this process of cleansing the heart of unwanted desires has been made very easy by Krishna Himself in His incarnation as Lord Caitanya Mahaprabhu. Lord Caitanya has personally inaugurated this Sankirtan movement of chanting the Holy Name of the Lord
Hare Krishna, Hare Krishna, Krishna Krishna, Hare Hare
Hare Rama, Hare Rama, Rama Rama, Hare Hare
as the sublime method of reviving our pure love for God and removing all unwanted desires, independent of this eternal love, from the heart.
Lord Krishna has pointed out in His instructions to Arjuna in Bhagavad-gita three significant factors that comprise spiritual understanding at the end of the fifth chapter. Knowledge that Krishna is the supreme enjoyer of all sacrifces and austerities, the supreme proprietor of all planets and demigods, and ultimate benefactor and well wisher of all living entities. So, as you can see, our philosophy is very easy and straightforward.
Similarly, becoming a devotee of Krshna and experiencing your dormant spiritual consciousness is very simple. Take immediate advantage of the chanting of the Hare Krishna maha mantra on a daily basis, become immersed in the philosophy of Bhagavad-gita and Srimad Bhagavatam by attentive reading or attendance of temple lectures, and most importantly associate with Krishna's devotees by participation in the Sankirtan movement of Lord Caitanya. This will assure your rapid progress to the platform of Krishna's pure devotee and allow you to taste the transcendental nectar of spiritual life to your full satisfaction.
Sincerely,
