MESSAGE FROM GEORGE HARRISON

 

Everybody is looking for Krishna.

Some don't realise that they are, but they are.

Krishna is GOD, the Source of all that exists, the Cause of all that is, was or ever will be.

As God is unlimited, HE has many Names.

Allah - Buddah - Jehova - Rama: All are Krishna, all are One.

God is not abstract, he has both the impersonal and the personal aspects to his

personality which is SUPREME, ETERNAL, BLISSFUL, and full of knowledge. As a

singe drop of water has the same qualities as an ocean of water, so has our

consciousness the qualities of GOD'S consciousness. . . but through our identification

and attachment with material energy (physical body, sense pleasures, material

possessions, ego etc.) our true TRANSCENDENTAL CONSCIOUSNESS has been

polluted, and like dirty mirror it is unable to reflect a pure image. With many lives

our association with the temporary has grown. This impermanent body, a bag of

bones and flesh, is mistaken for our true self, and we have accepted this temporary

condition to be final.

Through all ages, great saints have remained as living proof that this non-temporary,

permanent state of GOD CONSCIOUNSNESS can be revived in all living souls. Each

soul is potentially Divine.

Krishna says in BHAGAVAD GITA "Steady in the Self, being freed from all material

contamination, the yogi achieves the highest perfectional stage of happiness in touch

with the Supreme Consciousness. YOGA (a scientific method of GOD (SELF)

realization) is the process by which we purify our consciousness, stop further pollution

and arrive at the state of Perfection, full KNOWLEDGE full BLISS.

 

If there is a God, I want to see him. It's pointless to believe in something without proof,

and Krishna Consciousness and mediation are methods where you can actually obtain

GOD perception. You can actually see GOD, and hear him, play with HIM. It, might

sound crazy but HE is actually there, actually with you.

There are many yogic paths Raja, Jnana, Hatha, Kriya, Karma, Bhakti which are all

acclaimed by the MASTERS of each method.

SWAMI BHAKTIVEDANTA is as his title says a BHAKTI yogi following the path of

DEVOTION. By serving GOD through each thought, word, and deed and by chanting

of his holy names, the devotee quickly develops God-Consciousness. By chanting

HARE KRISHNA, HARE KRISHNA

KRISHNA KRISHNA, HARE HARE

HARE RAMA, HARE RAMA

RAMA RAMA, HARE HARE

One inevitably arrives at KRISHNA Consciousness. (The proof of the pudding is in the

eating!)

 

GIVE PEACE A CHANCE.

 

ALL YOU NEED IS LOVE (KRISHNA) HARI BOL
