18. August 2009 20:47: And as George said love for God is the highest most satisfying ever-increasing love. He said in the Krsna Book that everyone is looking for Krsna, some know it and some (most) don’t! George paid for the first printing of the Krsna Book. It is the first book I got in a parking lot and in time that book made me a Devotee. It’s still my absoulute favorite book.
To fast forward your spiritual advancement you should be a vegetarian and offer your healthy powerfoods to God through Swami Prabhupada. (Jesus if you like)
They can accept it on behalf of the Lord and make it a Holy Meal to benefit us all. If you are already a vegetarian, as I know most of my friends are, great, and if you are a new friend experimenting, give vegetarianism a fair try.
I had a Karate teacher in college that told me to just try it for 3 days. So I agreed. I have to tell you, on the third day the fruits etc. Tasted so good my mouth watered which also helps digestion and makes for good assimilation.
If you can sit in a yoga pose with good posture that will facilitate faster better results. If you can’t cross your legs find a good chair and do the breathing exercises and chanting sitting erect. Remember the best yoga pose is just having good posture all of the time.
Another very beneficial exercise I have discovered is the powerwalk. Also best if done in the morning sun, which gives Prana, the life force. May the Prana force be with you! LoL~
Move your arms all the way back and forth as you walk fast. Chant the Mahamantra as you go. You will find within a few short weeks that your waist will reduce and your chest will increase. Your partners will appreciate your beauty and youthful energy more, in just a short time. But yoga is not meant simply for sense gratification; it is for self-realization. Yoga means ‘to link up’ with the resovoir of all power and pleasure, the Supreme Personality of Godhead.
Try it, you will LOVE it!
(not just like it!)
It is as close to the ‘fountain of youth’ that I have found. There are many yogi’s in the Himalayan Mountains that are said to be hundreds of years old from the practice of Pranayama and the yoga system. Hundreds of the sadhu’s come down once a year to the Kumbha Mela Festival at Prayag in India. I went and it is ammazing!
(a little too crowded for me though)
Of course of all the yogi’s the topmost is Swami Prabhupada who takes us a giant step higher than the rest, all the way back home, back to Godhead! There is a Non-Stop Party there now waiting for us to join; won’t that be fun! But you have to link up with not just your breath, but your total love and devotion for The Supreme Lord. So the goal of life is to have full love of God when we finally do take our last breath. Then there will be no fear. It will be on to better days eternally.
Swami Prabhupada’s books are available pretty much everywhere, especially in the Hare Krsna Temples.
There is even a Bhagavad Gita As It Is, by Swami Prabhupada, in the library at the White House. I believe it protects the White House as Prabhupada said; wherever the bonafide Gita is kept all good fortune and protection come. As it says in the very last verse of Bhagavad Gita As It Is, 18-78, “Wherever there is Krsna, the master of all mystics, and wherever there is Arjuna, the supreme archer, there will also certainly be opulence, victory, extraordinary power, and morality. That is my opinion.”
So even if you don’t like to, or have time to read, get one for you and your family and friends and home’s protection. Better if you read it though. Chanaki Pandit advised not to let a day go by without reading even a little verse.I sincerely believe that is why the White House didn’t get hit on 9-11, and is still being protected today, by our Sweet Lord Krsna!
anyway that’s it for today
peace and love through the yoga system
Jai Swami Prabhupada
the Guru of Gurus!
Hoping this meets you all well,
Your friend and servant,
Gauridasa Pandita Dasa
Chant HARE KRSNA
And your life will be sublime!
