Being controlled! Posted: 04 Dec 2011 03:54 PM PST (Kadamba Kanana Swami, Govinda Valley, 2011) Lecture – Caitanya-caritāmṛta So rather than being so concerned with: The latest news; the latest events; everything that is going on; always being up to date on your phone with every hour of the latest of the latest news and in between you could call for it. And in this way we feel that we are on the top of the world, but the fact of the matter is that we are simply being controlled by the material energy!

Sense of spiritual culture Posted: 04 Dec 2011 03:09 PM PST (Kadamba Kanana Swami, Radhadesh, Belgium, 2011) Lecture –Initiation, Part 2 At times when we are tested then we can actually see how much Krishna Conscious we are. When things are taken away and powers are taken away in our life then we will see how much Krishna Consciousness we have left, at times like that. So one cannot just take vows and then think: "Oh alright, that's it". No, it must be followed with a sense of spiritual culture, then we can actually have the strength, so that we can take shelter. If we have the culture of: regular association with the scriptures, nicely chanting, engaging with other devotional practices relating to the deity. If we do these things then we can turn to them. So this is what it takes, since it takes more than just promising!
