KRISHNA CONSCIOUSNESS

Krishna Consciousness
When Srila Prabhupada in 1965 in New York founded the International Society for Krishna Consciousness , a friend told him that God did not put conscience instead of Krishna and Srila Prabhupada replied that He is vague , but Krishna is concrete , and if someone does not know that Krishna is God to come here and we will explain .
In the preface of Krishna Srila Prabhupada explains that Krishna is God: Now, one can ask the question Why Is Krishna the Supreme Personality of Godhead ? The answer is , because He is set to accurate and detailed descriptions of the Supreme Being , the Divine, in other words, Krishna is God because He is all-attractive . Beyond the supreme principle of attraction, there is another meaning of the word "God . " How can anyone be supremely attractive ? First of all, if someone is very rich, if you have great wealth, then becomes an attractive person for people in general. In a similar way if someone is very powerful, it also becomes an attractive person , and if someone is very famous, very beautiful , or wise , or is detached from all kinds of possessions, also becomes an attractive person . Thus, for practical experience we can observe that one is attractive due to : 1 ) wealth , 2 ) power, 3) fame, 4) beauty, 5) wisdom , and 6) renunciation. One who simultaneously possesses all these six opulences and that possesses unlimited degree , is understood to be the Supreme Personality of Godhead. Parasara Muni , a great Vedic authority describes these opulences of God. We have seen many rich, powerful , famous , beautiful , learned and scholarly people , have seen many people who are in the renounced order of life and are unattached to material possessions , but have never seen anyone like Krishna the history of mankind , it was simultaneous and unlimitedly rich, powerful , famous, beautiful , wise and unattached . Krishna , the Supreme Personality of Godhead, is an historical person who appeared on this planet five thousand years ago and behaved as a human being , but their activities were not parallel , from the moment of its appearance until the time of his disappearance . Each of the activities is unique in world history , and therefore who knows what we mean by the word "God , " accept Krishna as the Supreme Personality of Godhead. No one is equal to God , no one is greater than Him That is the meaning of the familiar proverb "God is great . "
Krishna Consciousness means the art of concentrating our attention on God and give our love. Many people think they will be happy to advance the cause of moral principles and religious rites , others think it will be happy in economic development, and others through the indulgence of the senses, but the truth is that people can only be happy loving God or Krishna. And all the great representatives of God in different cultures as Jesus Christ , Srila Prabhupada , Mohammed, Confucius, etc preach this truth : Love God above all things and your neighbor as yourself. Krishna consciousness is not a sectarian but universal process and is practiced throughout the world , Srila Prabhupada always said that Krishna consciousness is simple for the simple-hearted and those who are earnest and complicated for those of twisted mind . Although the origin of Krishna consciousness is India, the land of punya bhumi piety, caste systems ruined the entire spiritual culture of India , so Srila Prabhupada came to the West to preach Krishna consciousness and then went to India with its Western and Hindu disciples were surprised that Westerners loving God singing the Hare Krishna maha -mantra . It is very interesting what Srila Prabhupada says in the introduction to Bhagavad Gita about the difference between faith and Sanatana Dharma , faith can change , we see that a Christian becomes a Muslim , Hindu or done , or vice versa , but sanatana dharma not change, sanatana means eternal , and dharma means duty, the duty of espirtual eternal eternal soul is to serve God or Krishna and His devotees .
Personally I'm very pleased and happy to see that so many people are interested to know God and love Him , it is a fact that today there is a great spiritual awakening in the world , and increasingly there are peaceful dialogue among religions the other day a friend of mine told me that the Pope Francisco talked about the law of karma and when Srila Prabhupada asked him what he thought about Jesus , he always said that Jesus Christ is our spiritual master, thank God we're not in the age media in the era of the Inquisition, for saying that the Earth was round you burned at the stake, while this occurred in the West in India Sri Gauranga Mahaprabhu and his associates were discussing the Srimad Bhagavatam that informs us of the nature of all planets of the universe and the distances between all the planets in a scientific way .
