Teachings | KrsnaKnows Those who can afford to buy can say that they own it. Property ownership is defined by the person who has paid for it and possesses it. Possession is all about establishing who is the master or proprietor of that object and claiming ownership. A man can say that he has a certa

Teachings | KrsnaKnows Everyone believes that some things need to be put to rest permanently. When you rake up an issue which has been taxing you for a long time, you feel the best answer to it is to find a solution which can close the issue forever. Countries and hum

Teachings | KrsnaKnows Whenever we face opposing opinions, we lash back at the individual who is opposing us. We don’t expect anyone to nudge our singular advice. So our reactions are sometimes violent or outrageous. Self-opinionated people think that wh

Teachings | KrsnaKnows Notice how everyone is super excited to be here. The word here you can substitute for any of the events, speeches, talks, social media platforms or in front of a crowd. At large gatherings, many such excitable people find fake words to exploit it. Why do we like to say things we actually don’t mean anyt

Susan's Corner | Susan Yankoski Krsna Guruji teaches that it is important to be a positive force in this world. We are born into this world with our tendencies and are conditioned from day one—that this is my mother, my father, my sister, my brother. Our attachments grow and continue to the very end. It’s through my sister’s hospitalization for a lifelong illness and her subsequent passing that my attachmen

Teachings | KrsnaKnows You notice how some people want to talk about every little thing that happens in their life and put it up on social media. There are others who want to hide everything that they can from the public glare and stay cocooned. In human psycho

Teachings | KrsnaKnows Fate brings you to a point where you become frozen in your tracks, unable to move an inch. You have come face to face with the world of indecision. Panic attacks happen to all those who feel betrayed by normal logical decision making. When a man becomes too dependent on someone else for taking important deci

Teachings | KrsnaKnows Man is so insecure that he fears every little change that happens in life. He is too scared even if nothing happens or moves. Have you seen a candidate waiting for his results with bated breath? Or someone who has done something wrong and is awaiting disclosure and punishment? Fear is the main food for doing

Teachings | KrsnaKnows Everyone who comes to me asks how to become spiritual? How can anyone say how to become something that they already are? Imagine a techie coming to you and asking you how to be a student! Maybe they are asking me the question-“how to be a good spir

Teachings | KrsnaKnows Destiny and destination are two words which are very much closely related to each other. Everyone and everything has a predefined destiny. They come embedded with it. It is a fixed path that all have to follow in the forward direction. Starting from birth to death is destined. No one can change destiny since it is hardcoded into everyone. Not even God can change that. If you have to meet a person with whom you have to spend your entire life then it will be. If that life were to be a torturous journey then it will be so. If someone has to destroy your modesty just like Draupadi’s case, then it will be so. Thereafter, the consequences connected to these same instances will happen. Just the way Bhima had to break the groin of Dushyasan or Draupadi used Duryodhan’s blood to soak her tresses. The situations arise again and again. Even when Krishna

Susan's Corner | Susan Yankoski KrsnaGuruji teaches we are spiritual beings living in a material world. At some moments during my journey, there has been an overwhelming desire to check out, go far off somewhere and not to be involved in the mundane world. But Krsna teaches that being born as I am and where I am are a part of God’s design. Trying to understand what is unfolding in my life, is now the crux of my material life. Certainly, God doesn’t need for me to understand and certainly a faith built of Love and Devotion does not need to be “understood.” Yet, the material worldly life engages my mind and intellect and has to come up with the whys and wherefores. But what about 100% Faith! My KrsnaGuru speaks of living in the moment without worry or concern, knowing whatever God provides will be enough. The challenge is to live in the wor

Susan's Corner | Susan Yankoski KrsnaGuruji teaches me to have single pointed devotion. Krsna expounds the many paths to Him. Whichever way you choose or do not choose to find the Supreme Divine Consciousness is correct. Guruji’s teachings illuminate the Truth that God is as you want Him to be. In the Bhagavad Gita (Ch4 v11), Sri Krsna states, ”…howsoever men seek Me, even so do I respond to them; for all men follow My path in everyway.” My many months of trying to meditate on the abstract formless God brought great pain and heartache since I could not see Him. However, just before my first trip to India, I received my first glimpse of the Divine through a photo of my KrsnaGuru. The picture was in jest for some, yet for me, it was profound. Countless times, His image in that photograph has brough

Susan's Corner | Susan Yankoski KrsnaGuruji teaches me, letting go of the ego is the way to move ahead. During my childhood, my mother would say of my paternal grandmother, “She acts like she’s not smart, but she is.” Mom looked at this quality as a fault in my grandmother, but it was not until after Nana Helen’s passing that this quality would be appreciated. It was Nana’s grace that she always allowed the person sitting before her to shine. Certainly, she always made me feel that I was very smart and she would listen to me with great interest. She was not deceiving anyone, she was elevating them. She generously shined the spotlight on those sitting with her. Learning to keep your mouth shut, being humble and allowing someone else to shine takes patience, kindness and subordination of one’s ego. Cultivat

Susan's Corner | Susan Yankoski KrsnaGuruji teaches me not to accept limits. When the senses encounter an object, the mind begins to register its attributes, the intellect defines it, and then the mind makes judgements about the object. It is a very limited and narrow method of being in the world. There is a story told by Guruji of the frog in a well. The frog only knows the world from his narrow point of view and for him, the whole sky is only as big as the opening above. Likewise, years of self imposed restraints permitted just a narrow understanding of the world around me. Although ingrained in me, those restraints could not preclude the flow of Destiny and Grace that has landed me at the feet of my beloved Guruji. By His word, I know the world is an appearance. By His word, I know “God is.” Throughout my life, I have been dependen

Susan's Corner | Susan Yankoski KrsnaGuruji teaches me, God is the Guru. The Guru-disciple/devotee relationship is unknown to many people, it certainly was unknown to me just a short while ago. But here I am, a devotee and student of my KrsnaGuru. Because it is not readily understood, a couple of people have asked,“Why do you need an intermediary to reach God?” Well, the Truth is you don’t. The Guru is not an intermediary (and this is the point that freaks people out). The Guru is the Divine appearing here, to teach the Spiritual aspirant. Each aspirant has their own personal experience with their Divine Guruji. The Spiritual Master reflects the devotee’s own ideal. It would be a disservice for me to attempt to define the indefinable, unfathomable Guru, so I’ll speak here from my own experience. He is my Beloved; He is the Many; He is

Susan's Corner | Susan Yankoski KrsnaGuruji teaches me to fearlessly move through life. For weeks now, I have been clearing out my home. Through the course of the last 20 years, stacks of boxes and such have filled my life to the point that it has become difficult to know what’s here. The clutter around me is a reflection of the clutter within me. Taking aim at the clutter, the boxes are steadily being removed. The mind clutter is much more difficult to remove and requires Divine intervention. Through the blessing of my Guruji, the cleansing is ongoing. Each day brings new challenges. Thankfully, there is a growing arsenal of knowledge bestowed by KrsnaGuruji, as He has countlessly and repeatedly given the same lessons in different formats, so that I might grasp the true understanding. Compared to the time t
