Hare Krishna
I have difficulty in trying to meditate or concentrate .
Please can you help?

 Editor's reply:
Dear Gyanishwar Haridev Gareeb,

 
Hare Krishna! All glories to Srila Prabhupada!
 
Here are some suggestions on how to meditate and concentrate better.
 
Do your meditation early in the morning before sunrise. This time is the most auspicious for spiritual progress because it is very quiet and peaceful at this time, and the mind is the most alert and rested (of course, you should go to bed early enough to get sufficient rest)
 
Have a special place reserved just for your meditation... a spiritually potent place with pictures of Radha and Krishna, the spiritual master and other saintly personalities.
 
According to the Vedas, the Kali Santarana Upanishad, of all the forms of meditation in this Age of Quarrel and Hypocrisy, the best is the chanting of the Holy Names of the Lord, specifically the Maha Mantra
 
Hare Krishna Hare Krishna Krishna Krishna Hare Hare
Hare Rama Hare Rama Rama Rama  Hare Hare
 
By the regular recitation of this mantra, out loud or silently, the mind becomes peaceful and serene.
 
Is this helpful?
 
Sincerely,
 
Prema Bhakti dasa Adhikari,

What is meaning of love in world perspective and Indian perspective (As per Indian Vedanta Culture)?

 Editor's reply:

Dear Shailesh Sharma,

 
Hare Krishna,
 
There are 2 kinds of love, material and spiritual.
 
Love in the material world is based on the idea that we are the body, and therefore love means to care for and please the body and the senses, either our own body or the body of our family and loved ones. This love is temporary and not very satisfying.
 
Love in the spiritual world is based on the idea that we are eternal spirit souls, part and parcel of the Supreme Spirit. By awakening our spiritual eternal love for the Supreme Soul and all the other eternal souls, we experience an eternally growing sense of well-being and happiness.
 
In this Age of Quarrel, Kali Yuga, the recommended method of awakening our spiritual love is Hari Nama, chanting the Names of God, specifically the Hare Krishna Maha Mantra.
 
Hare Krishna Hare Krishna Krishna Krishna Hare Hare
Hare Rama Hare Rama Rama Rama Hare Hare
 
If you are interested, I can send you the different shlokas from the Vedas that confirm these statements.
 
Sincerely,
 
Prema Bhakti dasa Adhikari

Unfortunately, at this time, the site is only in English and translated some into French.
 
I'm sorry that we are not able to accomodate your need for this information to be presented in Gujarat or Hindi. Perhaps someone can translate for you?

Editor's reply:

Dear Maria Moreno,

 
Hare Krishna! Please accept my respectful obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada and Srila Gurudeva!
 
You can go to the following lecture page and download to your computer up to 150 lectures given last year on Self-Realisation by His Grace Sankarshan Das Gurudeva.
 
Click on this link and it will take you there:
 
 
Once there right click on any of the blue titles and it will start downloading that lecture to your computer. Pay attention to which folder it is saved on your computer so you can find it later. What I do is I have a special folder just for these lectures.
 
If you have any problems, let me know and I will try to help you.
 
Sinceramente,

HARI OM, I WOULD LIKE YOU YO GIVE ME ME A BRIEF EXPLAINAION ON THE TOPIC PRAYER OR HOW SHOULD A HINDU .

Editor's reply:

Dear Jamel Baroudy,

 
Hare Krishna! All glories to Srila Prabhupada!
 
The offering of prayers is described by great authorities in Vedic wisdom as being one of the nine processes of devotional service, beginning with hearing, chanting, remembering topics about Lord Krishna, the Supreme Personality of Godhead.
 
There are many many prayers composed by the saintly devotees of the Lord, and one should learn them and recite them regularly.
 
Of course, the main prayer that is recommended in the scriptures for this age of Kali, is the Hare Krishna Maha Mantra, or the great chant for deliverance:
 
Hare Krishna, Hare Krishna, Krishna Krishna, Hare Hare
Hare Rama, Hare Rama, Rama Rama, Hare Hare
 
It is said that there is no hard and fast rule for chanting this prayer, either out loud or softly, together with many people or alone, in private or in public, and at any time of the day or night. Hare refers to the Spiritual Energy of God, and Krishna and Rama are different names of God in the Sanskrit language. The prayer simply means "O Energy of God, O God, please engage me in Your service."
 
Besides this, there are thousands of powerful prayers to the Lord and His devotees to obtain spiritual benedictions. The Bhagavad-gita, the Srimad Bhagavatam and the Caitanya-Caritamrita are full of such superexcellent prayers.
 
You can read these books online at http://vedabase.org/en/
or order them from www.Krishna.com
 
Sincerely,
 
Prema Bhakti dasa Adhikari

I wish to pour out my many thanks to you blessed souls and especially 
to our wonderful teacher Adhikari. I have been a lost soul for much time 
and continue to be one. It is such a struggle to avoid all of the 
pitfalls this world puts in our way. Money, job, family worries can consume 
us. I have a real problem with guilt over past mistakes. These feelings 
are so powerful as to cloud over all real sight. Thank you for the daily 
thoughts to help push me back to proper thoughts. Bless you all for 
your devotion and your love for us all out here, struggling to love the 
Lord properly.

I have just now found your web-site and it looks very nice; I would
like to ask if you have any online correspondence courses as, being an
uninitiated devotee and beginning to read Srimad Bhagavatam from the
beginning (hopefully to the end) I am sure there will be many questions (I
hope not too foolish) which I may wish to ask...Can you tell me how much
the course will cost, etc.  Please contact me at your convenience; I
don't know how I can be of service to Guru and Gauranga, as I don't live
in a temple and have little face-to-face contact with the devotees of
Caitanya Mahaprabhu, all glories to them and Srila Prabhupada!  Thank
you and Hare Krsna!

I have enjoyed your e-mails for a long time now and you have answered
several questions for me.  I have been looking for a Sanskrit-English
dictionary that has Sanskrit words in a phonetic spelling.  All the
dictionaries I have found have the Sanskrit in written Sanskrit form.  Do
you know where I can find one, I want to be able to look up words like
"namo", "bhagavate", etc.  Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Hare Krsna,
Bhakta Michael

Editor:

I don't think they are yet publishing a Sanskrit-English dictionary that uses roman transliteration of the Sanskrit words.What I do when I want to look up the meaning of a word is to turn to my copy of Vedabase and do a query on the Sanskrit word and I see all the ways the word is used in Srila Prabhupada's books. Do you have a copy of the Bhaktivedanta Vedabase? It is available at the Bhaktivedanta Archives...http://www.vedabase.com/ or you can order it directly from Srila Sankarshan Gurudeva's online store at   http://www.ultimateselfrealization.com/store/

Glories to Guru and Gauranga,
I am Veerendra mailing from Mumbai. His holiness Shri Shankarhan Das
Adhikari is coming to Mumbai around November 17. It is my deepest wish to
meet him in person, is he coming to RadhaGopinath Temple, Mumbai? I will
surely attend all the sunday lectures in the month of Oct, Nov and Dec.
The nectearean words of a Guru while he is giving discourses face to
face is the greatest spiritual gift one can have.
...
Yours truly,
Veerendra.

Resp Adhikariji,
I am Veerendra Ekbote from Mumbai, India. I have been enlisted for
"Thought for the day" since Jan, 2005 and is getting lot of nice emails from
your side. I have a question because once I had a question which I had
emailed on your question email address but I think u didn't receive it.
   My question - Is Vishnu consciousness and Krishna consciousness are on
the same level because many  Indians  consider Krishna as 8th
incarnation of Vishnu but you preach that Krishna is above Vishnu. People
consider Krishna as a incarnation of Vishnu but you preach Krishna is unborn. I
know Krishna is eternally existing but for the general public I need
this clarification.
