Did You See Him?


Krsnaji teaches that God is always with me.

At the point when I could say that my life was fulfilled and that there was nothing more to claim, God unlocked me. The fracturing of my shroud opened me to a path of inquiry. Not long after, and by His grace, my KrsnaGuru appeared. I have entered the Gurukul because He has blessed me so. His is not only a physical place, it is here and everywhere. He exists beyond all worldly constraints.

This limited body does not allow me to literally sit at Krsnaji’s feet and receive His daily tutelage. Instead, my frequent queries to Guruji occur in my mind throughout the day. As I reflect on His teachings, His answers come me. When understanding escapes me, there is a volley of text messages or the subject is taken up in our one-on-one —whereby, Guruji relieves me of my confusion. Always the loving Father, He guides me, encourages me and corrects me.

The elements of creation which embody this spirit soul, and this very spirit soul itself, are His alone. In The Bhagavad Gita, Sri Krsna said, “Man does not attain freedom from inaction without entering upon action” (Ch3, v4). Guruji instructs, me to experience the journey, to find His purpose for this life and to perform the work He wills me to do.

Knowledge is slowly unfolding in stages along this journey, but what do I truly know? In this very moment, God loves me! He cares for me! He teaches me! He accepts the humble offerings of my heart. Sri Krsna said, “Whosoever offers Me with love a leaf, a flower, a fruit or water, I, appear in person before that selfless devotee…” (BG Ch9, v26). Did I see Him? He incarnates as the Guru, no doubt, I have been blessed to have darshan of Him.

My eternity is with Him! When the elements that form this the body fade, my spirit soul continues with HIm. When He comes again, and if He wills it, I shall come too.

A Karmically Slow Start

So, here it goes... Let me first state that I am a neophyte in this spiritual world and it is only with my KrsnaGuru's grace that I am writing. Despite having been baptized as an infant and later given communion and confirmation as a child within the Catholic Church, I was quite unaware of God.  But when I was 9 years old, my father passed away from acute leukemia.  Within six months of his diagnosis, he was gone. His brothers, my uncles told me that God wanted my father to be with him at his right side. This was my first awareness of God. This God I felt did not care about me. This God took my father from me.  I did not care to know this merciless God. Later, as a young person, I was fully immersed in the temperament of the time. The 1970's, in my area of America, brought a wave of self-centerness in adult parents fueled by a cultural acceptance of alcohol use that left a generation of adolescents...

Spiritual Communion

Thank you KrsnaKnows for the impetus to write this blog and for the all the blessings you have bestowed on me. Rising Sun Throughout the year (2016) I had many moments where I believed that God was moving me and prompting me to act. The fact that I thought it was God communicating with me was a foreign idea. God could not have picked a less “God involved” person than myself, with whom to communicate. Yet, on several occasions in 2016, I said to my husband, “I think God is speaking to me.” Having taken up oil painting a few years prior, I was attending a training workshop in a neighboring state.   On the drive down to Maryland, I gave some thought to the feeling I had that God was drawing me nearer to Him.   I considered the possibility that I may be dying and that was the cause of God’s growing presence in my life.   So, I reviewed my life and decided if indeed it were time for me to leave this life that would be fine.   I pronounced my life ha...

The Seeker, The Net and The Teacher

Thank you, Krsna for casting such a broad net, that I might rise with You, free from the weight of this material world.  MyKrsnaGuru As I searched the Internet for answers, I came to hear the KrsnaKnows podcasts. Krsna’s Satsang podcasts conveyed the unfettered truth, full of sincerity, patience and Godly conviction.  His style was full of candor and blunt honesty. The Preceptor held my attention for hours on end. I listened over and over as He dutifully executed His mandate. Shortly thereafter, I saw KrsnaKnows' YouTube recordings of the Bhagavad Gita Satsangs and those of the Srimad Bhagavatam too. Wow! I have to admit that since the podcasts had no visual component, the voice I knew (in my mind's eye), had a very different body attached to it. I’m blushing now, but you know, He is all-attractive.  A few months had passed with me tuned in almost daily. When the Shri Guru Charitra readings were posted I was overcome with Love as I listened. I...
