How To Become Spiritual?

Image
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

What Is My Destiny?

Image
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

Material Girl in a Material World

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
