Searching Out The Spiritual World
Srila Govinda Maharaj Here Srila Govinda Maharaj outlines the underlying basis for a healthy spiritual life: a vigorous searching tendency towards the Truth. With this mood of searching out the truth and beauty we innately desire, we come to the platform of searching for Sri Krishna, Reality the Beautiful. If our search is genuine and sincere we will see certain indicators we are proceeding rightly and we will steadily grow in spiritual life.\ "When we are a real searcher we must try to get the association of a devotee. Devotees are always living within the plane of dedication and the transcendental plane. And with their association we can easily promote ourselves to that service world, where service to the Lord is giving all happiness; giving eternity, giving ecstasy, giving love, affection and ecstasy, everything."} read more! |

A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada In this 1969 discourse, Srila Prabhupada focuses on the perfected stage of yoga practice.

"If one is fortunate enough to come to the point of bhakti-yoga, it is to be understood that one has surpassed all other yogas," says Srila Prabhupada. "And the test of one's mastery of bhakti-yoga is based on how much one is developing one's love for God." read more! |
