A SECOND CHANCE

Hare Krishna Dear Devotees

What a warm feeling it is to feel like you have been given a Second Chance at something... We all should have that warm feeling as this life we have been given is exactly that..

A SECOND CHANCE

This weeks book club was awe inspiring… and who else to thank other than

His Divine Grace Srila Prabhupada

for blessing us with His knowledge and the story of Ajamila in his book ..

A Second Chance

It was wonderful to come together to share our realisations and even more wonderful to see our book club is growing every time we meet…

So what were some of the comments/realisations??

** “Krsna is such a ‘nice’ God..He was so merciful to someone who was His devotee previously but who had then fell”

** This book was so practical, reminded us of the basics.. and sometimes we need to be reminded of the BaSiCs.

** WE ARE ALL AJAMILA’S… AND PRABHUPADA HAS GIVEN US A SECOND CHANCE IN THIS LIFE.

** We suffer many disappointments in life.. Everyone will disappoint us eventually.. either by something they do.. or by eventually dying..This is Krsna’s way of teaching us not to become too dependent on others BUT rather to become dependent on Him.

** When you struggle with chanting.. JUST chant..chanting in association is so Powerful.

** Service alone wont get us anywhere.. it’s our service ATTiTuDe that Krsna Appreciates.. Be sincere, Ask yourself.. Am I pleasing Krsna?? And this will eliminate Sense gratification.

** Sometimes the best way to preach is… not to preach.. When others see how devotees’ live, behave, serve the Lord..this is in itself is preaching.

WOW, what a powerful BooK CluB it was Indeed..

See YOU at the next book club:

Book?? Encounters with a Great Soul

When?? 24 August

Hari Haribol!

Friends and Krishna Conciousness

Hare Krishna to all the devotees out there. On the 4th of July, Saturday the Sri Mayapur Dham Youth Group had a discussion at the ISKCON temple in Lenasia. It was headed by Manoj a young devotee. The topic was all about Friends and Krishna Consciousness. We first had a short kirtan, then a discussion.

We had an intense discussion with questions like what qualities do you think a friend should have? Which friends would you prefer, materialistic friends or spiritual friends and why? Is there a difference between materialistic and spiritual friends? At the end of the discussion we realised that we should respect and treat our friends with honesty, love and care and that our only Best Friend is Krishna.

Sri Mayapur Dham Youth Group Ki Jai!
Srila Prabhupada Ki Jai!
Sri Sri Nitai Gaura Hari Ki Jai!
Nitai Gaura Premanande Hari Hari Bol!
