The Advent of Lord Krishna: Introduction
Text 10.1.4 excerpt
Glorification of the Supreme Personality of Godhead is performed in the parampara system; that is, it is conveyed from spiritual master to disciple. Such glorification is relished by those no longer interested in the false, temporary glorification of this cosmic manifestation. Descriptions of the Lord are the right medicine for the conditioned soul undergoing repeated birth and death.
When Sukadeva Gosvami finished describing the dynasty of Yadu, as well as the dynasties of the moon-god and sun-god, Maharaja Pariksit requested him to describe Lord Krishna, who appeared with Baladeva in the Yadu dynasty, and how Krishna performed His activities within this world. Krishna is transcendental, the King said, and therefore to understand His activities is the occupation of liberated persons. Hearing of krishna-lila is the boat by which to achieve the ultimate goal of life.
Let's get rid of our bad karma.
Let's learn to love God again.
Vi samlas varje dag kl 8-10 för att diskutera andliga ämnen och hur de relaterar till oss. Kom gärna och delta. Vi pratar engelska, svenska, tyska, kroatiska, ryska, finska och lite franska.
Krishna cherishes our gifts
Please don't bring prepared or processed food.
According to Vedic texts and the principles of Bhakti-Yoga, giving gifts to Krishna, also known as offering seva (service) or bhoga (devotional offerings), yields highly spiritual benefits:
- Purification of Intentions: Offering gifts to Krishna helps purify one's intentions and motives by shifting the focus from material desires to spiritual devotion and service.
- Expression of Gratitude: Offering gifts is considered an expression of gratitude towards Krishna's blessings and benevolence in one's life.
- Development of Devotion: Engaging in the act of giving gifts fosters a deeper sense of devotion and attachment to Lord Krishna, strengthening the devotee's relationship with the Divine.
- Spiritual Progression: Offering gifts to Krishna accelerates one's spiritual progression.
- Karma-Yoga: Giving gifts to Krishna is an act of Karma-Yoga, selfless action performed without attachment to the results, which helps in the purification of karma and liberation from the cycle of birth and death.
- Elevation of Consciousness: Through the act of offering gifts, one's consciousness becomes elevated as the mind becomes absorbed in thoughts of Lord Krishna, leading to inner peace and spiritual fulfilment.
- Blessings and Protection: By offering gifts to Lord Krishna, devotees receive the Lord's blessings, protection, and guidance in navigating life's challenges and obstacles.
Overall, giving gifts to Krishna is a powerful means of deepening our spiritual connection with the Supreme and progressing on the path of divine love and devotion.
