Earned by service

We will always be unfulfilled unless we serve Krsna…Krsna has entered into a relationship with all the devotees and Krsna is reciprocating with every living being. Yes sometimes Krsna seems to ignore His devotee for a while but then He is there again, and again and again Krsna is reciprocating with every single devotee. And the devotees, they know that they cannot just take Krsna for granted but that to get Krsna’s personal attention is a very rare gift and that gift is not so easily attained. That gift must be earned by service…(Kadamba Kanana Maharaja, June 2011, Leicester)

Taste is not forbidden

(Kadamba Kanana Swami, 2011)

Taste is not forbidden. It is not something that is a taboo. It is not that spiritual life should only be a duty. Fun is actually part of spiritual life. Here is it said that:

'One who executes his duties according to my injunctions'.

The word 'duty' was a word that I was allergic to prior to Krishna Consciousness. I must admit that 'duty' felt like something extremely dry, with very little hope for inspiration and basically an austerity:

'How long can you just act on the basis of duty?'

Therefore I would like to offer that Krishna Consciousness is (Sanskrit) joyfully performed even from the very beginning, then there is so much juice and there is so much taste!
