God Within


Guru Krsnaknows teaches that God is within me and outside me.

My rumination of this teaching is quite visual. For me, comes as an image of a sort of all pervasive protoplasm of Spirit which rises and falls as everything. It rises inside and outside of everything. The shell of forms are the appearances. Of course, this is only an imagination of the Spirit.

In a recent one on one satsang with the Master, Shri Krsna Guru was speaking of the God within when an awareness came to me. “I am nothing.” That which I think of as me is nothing, just a shell of form – the sheaths. From this awareness came a pang of emotion regarding this body. It is a little frightening, to give up the delusion that has been this life.

It is not as though the body is leaving, it is definitely here. It is my attachment to this body that is leaving. And it is not sadness or mourning that I experience, but just an awareness. All of the bodies are God’s tools. My job is to navigate the path He has set for me. My job is to create as few disturbances as possible on this path while taking the necessary actions.

When Guruji says, “You are that Divine Eternal Being,” my understanding is that we are all that One.

Sometimes I try to perceive a world where we might see each other as the same Divine Eternal Being. How would we raise a hand against another? How could we love just a few?

The universe has its own path too. Shri KrsnaKnows teaches that we will not be fearful once we know God is our Charioteer!

Jai Shri Krsnaknows!

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...
