He’s Got This

Image
Teachings | Susan Yankoski KrsnaGuruji teaches it is God’s Will, not mine that moves this life. There have been a few times in my life, whereby, I felt completely abandoned and alone. In those times, it seemed I would perish. And then, there were those times when I felt so completely consumed by those around me, that again, it seemed I would perish. It has only been in these recent years, when becoming aware of the Divine Spirit, that I have felt secure. Security oddly comes from knowing that nothing, here, is within my control. Destiny is written, the job for which I am here will be done. “Thy Will be done.” One might have a starring role or may just be a prop, but all that exists has a purpose. This life may be just a stepping stone. The part one p

Freedom & Bondage In Love

Image
Teachings | KrsnaKnows Love which keeps you bound is the type between parents and children, husband and wife, two friends or lovers. Love comes under strain when the child becomes an adult and seeks a spouse, when the wife or husband wants to follow their own calling, when another new friend enters the scene and when the lovers families enter when they decide to marry respectively. This kind of love is no love at all but only bondage and possession. God’s love is completely free and liberating. He never demands you to be always in love. You are free to walk out or come back in anytime. There are no expectations or desires from His side. He doesn’t mind even if you don’t acknowledge Him. He nurtures and takes care of you even when you abuse and deride Him. Only God can offer you true love which no one else can! Know More>>http://bit.ly/2S9QvOO

How to Make Time for God?

Image
Susan's Corner | Susan Yankoski KrsnaGuru ji teaches to take time to express devotion to God, without expectation of returns. Worldly life is upon us all the time.  Unless you are blessed to be staying in an ashram or are a renunciate, the stress of daily life presses on. Going to work, earning money, taking care of family and friends, house and home, it’s like this for most of us. So where is the time to think of God? When a loved one is ill or there is a particularly important event pending, we may ask God for help, but asking favors is not devotion. Since returning from India, my life has been a bit unsettled and way too busy. The feeling that I can not find time for God to spend in devotion crept into my mind. But my teacher has always illumined

You Are What You Think You Are!

Teachings | KrsnaKnows The story of a lion cub found by sheep, grows up thinking he is a sheep, bleating and grazing like his foster parents. One day a passing lion takes this misguided one to a pond to show him the truth. The bleat then turns to a roar! In life if you are bullied often, you tend to believe you are always the underdog! Stop this belief of yours which makes you think, you are the mask that you wear. Look inside and know you are that lion who does not have to bleat and eat grass. Stop giving yourself negatives and degrading yourself in your own eyes. You are that eternal divine being who wears various masks and greasepaints’ to enact the various roles of child, parent, sibling, student, employee or employer, etc. Get out of that false belief and look inside to who you really are. Roar on! Image Credit  pixabay Know More

A Simple Life

Susan's Corner | Susan Yankoski KrsnaGuruji teaches the root of most material world problems are unfulfilled desires. Contentment can be found in a simple life. Most of us struggle and work hard for money to provide a comfortable life for our family and ourselves. As we reach one level of comfort, we have already started... Know More>>http://bit.ly/2zS7nCe

Freedom & Bondage for the Spiritual

Teachings | KrsnaKnows The high point in everyone's life is different and changes with time. For some its graduation day, for others its marriage day, or when their first child is born, the day they leave for their dream destination, someone's death, freedom from tyranny or just death! For the spiritual its the day... Know More>>http://bit.ly/2zRdu9X

Bhakti: Love and Devotion

Susan's Corner | Susan Yankoski Seeking something Greater, has led me to the other side of the earth, but that something has not become visible to me. Maybe I am not meant to peer behind the curtain.

What do you Seek?

Teachings | KrsnaKnows When you throw color on Krsna and paint Him with your shades from the mind, He throws the same color back at you. Its reciprocation!

Teachings | KrsnaKnows When two people are in love they have eyes only for each other. Any other person coming in their field of vision is a disturbance.

Lost in the Mind

Susan's Corner | Susan Yankoski It was said by MyKrsnaGuru that traveling this path would be difficult and it is – very difficult.

Relationships Are So Frivolous – Spiritual Teachings In Short

Spiritual Teachings In Short | KrsnaKnows Tomorrow if you have to walk out like Ram or Sita, or like Draupadi and the Pandavas; they were exiled, remember this? You remember this? So how many Samsonite bags you will fill and take with you?  Zero bags! Why? If you are attached to those things, the relationships; Ram was attached to his relationship, isn’t it? Father, mother, brother…all t

Change – Spiritual Teachings In Short

Image
Spiritual Teachings In Short | KrsnaKnows We are still fixated in our nonsensical world. We don’t want to change, we don’t want to adopt, we don’t want to do anything. We think, “I know best!”. Your foolish spirit soul is still fixated in that damn thing that you have thought that you know so well. That is the worst part. The word for all this is ‘change’.

Masters Methods

Image
Teachings | KrsnaKnows Reprimand by any person is harmful and acidic. It leads to hurt feelings and we all go back in our shell. We listen to the words and immediately come up with a defence or a repartee. It makes our ego squirm and so it revolts. But when the Spiritual Master takes up your case it is for your benefit and growth. Your upliftment is His mandate so He does that. Otherwise ask yourself w

Gandhari Curse to Lord Krsna

Teachings | KrsnaKnows Gandhari cursed Krsna for abetting in the killing of her 100 children in the battle of Kurukshetra. Her curse that He would also have to watch His kith and kin die in front of His eyes came true at Prabhasa. Durvasa also would be held responsible for that but

Don’t Sit and Dwell in the Past

Image
Teachings | KrsnaKnows When the couple is newly married they walk together, then later in life they walk one in front and one far behind. One lives in the today and one in the past. If they both walk side by side they will walk together in the present and they will progress. When you talk about past glories or disasters, you stop progressing in your life. Look ahead and walk and watch your next step. Don’t sit and dwell in the past. Love the johnny walker ad which says “keep walking”! Image Credit: pixabay Know More>>https://ift.tt/2yLXMii

Serve with Devotion

Image
We tend to dismiss the mystical beings like any other human beings with earthly failings! Little realising that they make great efforts at hiding from their earthly sojourn. We injure them by our uncouth human behaviour and are not even apologetic when we know their truth. They take human form for some divine purpose and its our good fortune that we get to meet them. So treating them with due respect and utter humility, we have to do service(seva) and take their blessings. Serve them with devotion and your life will be a reward. Deride them and you may never meet them again for a million more lives! Image Credit:  pixabay

Compassion and Forgiveness

Image
You contend with your own issues, get bogged down with them and unable to sort out you feel terribly depressed. You seek answers from some kindred souls, friends or relatives. They too are in the same boat. Then you turn to the image of God. Yet there are no answers. Fortunately with the passage of time you are able to overcome it but you still haven't recovered fully. You know there are no answers anywhere. So now you live with pain and guilt too. Acceptance never is easy and so you suffer. Jesus, Buddha, Kabir, Meerabai and even Mother Teresa did. Just remember compassion and forgiveness is the answer! Be kind to yourself and others too. Image Credit:  pixabay

Follow Lord Krsna’s Path to Reach Him

Teachings | KrsnaKnows Krsna prescribed meditation and pranayam but have you noticed anywhere if He actually did these things? He always appeared smiling and full of mischief. Never a pensive or thoughtful persona. Knowledge poured from His every being, movement and work dominated His life, love and devotion transcended His life and He always found time for even the mundanest of the acts! Following His path of all the above would actually lead us to Him. Truly a hero! Know More>>https://ift.tt/2t5RgwG

Never Blame God for Your Misfortune!

Teachings | KrsnaKnows Krsna is always held responsible for all kinds of misfortunes that man goes through. But isn’t it mentioned that whenever there is adharma, Krsna takes birth to rectify that? Now think why would He then be the cause of anyone’s misfortune or troubles when He takes birth only to remove those obstacles? You are responsible for your own karma so stop blaming Him for your issues! Know More>>https://ift.tt/2JqL5hL

Misconceptions about Spirituality

Image
Teachings | KrsnaKnows The eagerness with which people enter spiritual and get disillusioned by it is because they expect spectacular results. Their expectations are never met. The idea that they will be spoon fed by Masters or granted supernatural powers are certain misconceptions they carry. Carrying on practice or sadhana without focusing on results with complete surrender to the God and Guru makes one a true seeker. Know More>>https://ift.tt/2JzPEFV

Inquire the Truth

Image
Teachings | KrsnaKnows Simply following what your forefathers have prescribed and doing it without questioning would account to following the herd. Ask them why they did that or for what reason those rituals and rites were performed. You will be amazed at their ignorance. They will offer some mumbo jumbo explanations for doing that. You should do those till your questioning hasn’t started but once you are questioning these weird activities, refrain from doing those till you are thoroughly convinced about them. Perform them only if you believe in them. Faith after ascertaining the truth will lead you to perfect answers. Then you will never delude the future generation. Know More>>https://ift.tt/2JgIXVV

Find Yourself for Permanent Happiness

Image
Teachings | KrsnaKnows Man searches for his little corner of happiness all the time. Sometimes he gets his fixes and sometimes he doesn’t. Yet the craving for that never subsides knowing fully well how transient these moments are! Losing himself time and again in the cesspool of sorrow and pain, he believes he will find happiness next time around. Take the case of a person who wants to give marriage another shot! The individual never learns from his first episode. You should always look for that which gives permanent happiness and bliss and not short term fixes! Find your Self!
