Krishna's Love

Exactly 2 weeks ago from today, my mind began wondering, for the umpteenth time, whether there really is only one true religion in the world, and maybe I'm in the wrong one. So I thought let me pray. First, I prayed to Krishna to please reveal Himself to me. Then I prayed to God, without any hint of sectarian beliefs or distinction between religions - just the God of this creation, asking to know Him and worship Him the way He would like me to. I asked to be shown what the truth is and what the truth isn't, so I would be able to distinguish which religion is bonafide.

So I logged on to www.krishna.com and there was a verse quoted:

Prayer Requests

So I had a thought recently about devotees praying for one another. Someone I know was talking about how devotees pray over one another in churches. Also, I'm familiar with how preachers, pastors, as well as ordinary people pray over one another in churches and God works through them to heal others and help change others' lives.

Program with HG Govardhandhari Dasa

Haribol!

Last Saturday, I was blessed with the opportunity to attend a program by HG Govardhandhari Dasa. My gosh, there's just something about his kirtans I swear!! His kirtans are just beautiful. He barely sings the first 2-3 lines and I'm already struggling to hold back tears. I first met him on Wednesday. He sang the Jaya Sri Krishna Chaitanya mantra thrice, and by the time he started singing the Hare Krishna mahamantra, there were tears in my eyes! He sang some songs that I had never heard before, but am absolutely in love with now. One of them was 'Jaya Yashoda Nanda Dulal'. It's just beautiful! There's a bit in it where you need to sing 'Gopal Gopal Gopal'. That was just insane!!!! All of us just let ourselves go and called out to Gopal. Govardhandhari Prabhu just knows how to make our hearts yearn for Krishna. Everyone was on such an emotional high during his beautiful kirtans. My heart was literally crying out to Gopala thanks to Prabhu's beautiful kirtan.
