More2. GAURANGA NITAI-GAUR MEDITATION
We have learnt different meditation techniques using mantras, transcendental sound. One must become fully convinced that this sound vibration is not material. You can’t see that with your eyes, it’s just another sound. You can’t hear it, it’s just another sound. Here are the words on the page: GAURANGA NITAI-GAUR and we hear how that’s pronounced,...
More3. THE HUMAN FORM OF LIFE IS MEANT FOR SELF-REALIZATION
Again the suggestion is: chant like this, do this meditation on a regular basis, not just these few days we’ve been together. It takes a little determination on your part.

Question: Who are Christ; the Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost? Answer: Christ. Some people refer to Lord Jesus as Jesus Christos, or Jesus Christ. Actually the root of the word ‘Christos’ is ‘Krsna.’ So Jesus was the son of Krishna, but also the great devotee of Krishna. We are all sons of Krishna, but Jesus was that person (and others also...
