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:
