You will discover that Krishna consciousness is much more than religion. It is a spiritual, universal, time-proven process enabling to achieve inner happiness, satisfaction and higher consciousness. It is a very important science of God, understanding what is God. Of course, in every religion this conception of God is there. Simply by understanding "God is great" is not sufficient. We must have knowledge about our relationship with God.So Krishna Consciousness means not to make any distinctions of black or white, Christian or Muslim or Hindu, African, American or Indian. Krishna claims everyone as His son. Preferences regarding God's holy name may differ from one religion to another, modes of worship may differ, and details of ritual and doctrine may differ as well. But the test is how much the practitioner actually develops knowledge of God and love for God. Real religion means to learn to love God. This is actual worship to God, to be completely dependant on serving Him, not asking God: let me enjoy this world; let my business be successful, make me powerful”. That means I put God in the position of my order supplier as if He were my servant. How can this be worship? Just like the “Lord’s Prayer” in the Christian religion: “Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy name, Thine kingdom come, Thine will be done on earth as it is in heaven”. This is a super execelleant prayer since it recognizes God as a person who lives in His own kingdom and His name is glorified, which is the best means to adore Him in this age: Hare Krishna, Hare Krishna, Krishna Krishna Hare Hare, Hare Rama Hare Rama, Rama, Rama, Hare Hare. Let all the poor people,middle people and rich people of the world who have not received this taste of real religon should come to ISKCON where you see Lord Krishna’s wonderful house that Srila Prabhupada has built- the house of Krishna Consciousness. |
