We Need To Go Deeper In Our Chanting


"Chanting produces best results when we go deeper into chanting. Standing on the shores of the ocean one can’t access the precious gems and jewels on the bed of the ocean; one will be tossed away by the waves. However if we go deeper into the ocean, we can access the pearls. Similarly by chanting superficially or occasionally, we can’t avail the benefits; we’ll be thrown away by the waves of material energy. We need to go deeper in our chanting to reap the fruits of chanting. What does it mean to go deeper?"


Radhanatha Swami

The individual soul is situated only within the heart of one body. But the Supreme Soul or Krishna is seated in everyone's heart. This is the distinction between the individual soul and the Supreme Soul. At the present moment due to our blunt material vision, we cannot directly perceive the presence of the either the individual soul or the Supreme Soul. But the presence of both of them can be understood by their symptoms. So even though in our present state of consciousness we cannot directly perceive them, there is tons of circumstantial evidence to confirm the existence of them both.

Krishna is everywhere. He is omnipresent. But due to our eyes being covered by the cataracts of lust, anger, greed, madness, illusion, and envy we cannot see Him. The beauty of the purificatory process of Krishna consciousness is that if we adopt it conscientiously, in due course of time we will become fully qualified to fully realize our own eternal spiritual natures and to see God face to face, eye to eye.

Chant and Be Happy:

Hare Krishna, Hare Krishna, Krishna Krishna Hare Hare
Hare Rama, Hare Rama, Rama Rama Hare Hare
