“The directions for meditation that Sri Krishna gives are very exacting. He tells Arjuna exactly how to get past all the things that cause suffering and transient pleasure to something that is perpetual ecstasy. His directions are that exact.” GivingPastSufferingCausesPleasureMeditationEcstasyHinduismPerpetualKrishnaTransientArjuna Author:Frederick Lenz
“There are four great events in history, the siege of Troy, the life and crucifixion of Christ, the exile of Krishna in Brindaban and the colloquy on the field of Kurukshetra. The siege of Troy created Hellas, the exile in Brindaban created devotional religion, (for before there was only meditation and worship), Christ from his cross humanized Europe, the colloquy at Kurukshetra will yet liberate humanity.” HumanityChristFourMeditationEventsFieldsWorshipEuropeCrossesExileKrishnaCrucifixionDevotionalSiegeGreat EventsCrucifixion Of ChristEvents In History Author:Sri Aurobindo

“Chanting Hare Krishna is really the same sort of thing as meditation, but I think it has a quicker effect. I mean, even if you put your beads down, you can still say the mantra or sing it without actually keeping track on your beads.” IfsThinkingMeanStillsMeditationEffectsTrackKrishnaMantrasBeadsHaresChantingHare Krishna Author:George Harrison
“Chanting Hare Krishna is a type of meditation that can be practiced even if the mind is in turbulence. You can even be doing it and other things at the same time. That's what's so nice. In my life there's been many times the mantra brought things around. It keeps me in tune with reality, and the more you sit in one place and chant, the more incense you offer to Krishna in the same room, the more you purify the vibration, the more you can achieve what you're trying to do, which is just trying to remember God, God, God, God, God, as often as possible.” IfsTryingMindRealityRememberRoomsNiceMeditationAchieveTypeOffersTunesVibrationsKrishnaMantrasHaresChantingIncenseTurbulenceHare Krishna Author:George Harrison
