8 TIPS TO LEAD A PERFECT KRISHNA CONSCIOUS LIFE IN THIS TOUGH KALI YUGA!


Getting the mercy of Lord is easier in kaliyuga.  This article speaks how to live in kaliyuga.

Many people like to take birth in Swarga Logas (heavenly planets)! But, Celestials (Devas) pray to Krishna to give them human birth on earth! Why? In the heavenly planets, they are unable to think of Krishna as heavenly planets offer only enjoyment! Earth is the Planet of Karma, that offers perfect atmosphere to think of Krishna! Going to Krishna from earth is easy! So, we should make use of human birth!

(1) CHANTING:

In Kali Yuga, Krishna lives in His Name! So, our shastras do not suggest to do penance in forests, yagas, dhyanas, etc in kaliyuga. You can get the same mercy from Krishna by chanting the Holy Name of Krishna with utmost devotion: Hare Krishna Hare Krishna Krishna Krishna Hare Hare Hare Rama Hare Rama Rama Rama Hare Hare. Chant as many times as possible!


(2) DISCIPLINE:

Lord Krishna says: "mayadhyaksena prakrith". When Lord descends into the material universe, His consciousness is not materially contaminated. Our consciousness, at the present moment, however, is materially contaminated. Bhagavad Gita teaches us to purify this materially contaminated consciousness. Let us read Bhagavad Gita & Purify our consciousness!

As Krishna is the purest personality, we too should be pure in mind and body.  So, every devotee should follow FOUR REGULATIVE DISCIPLINARY PRINCIPLES such as (1) No meat eating, (2) No intoxication, (3) No gambling, and (4) No illicit sex.  He must involve his mind in the thoughts of Krishna all the time as much as possible.

(3) OFFERING FOOD TO LORD:

As the food we eat may have sinful background and karma with it, we must offer every eatables to Krishna first and then honour that food as the prasadam of Krishna.

(4) WORSHIP LORD KRISHNA and TULASI DEVI EVERY DAY: 

Keep it as a daily practice to offer worship to Krishna at home atleast for 10 minutes with love.

(5) ASSOCIATE MORE WITH THE DEVOTEES:


Yes.  More association with the devotees will protect your consciousness from being contaminated easily because the world is highly materialistic now a days.

(6) READ BOOKS ON KRISHNA:


This will protect you from getting contaminated with the glares of kaliyuga.  So, spend atleast half an hour daily to read books related to Krishna.

(7) DO YOUR ASSIGNED DUTIES WITHOUT QUITTING:

Never run out of your duties assigned to you from time to time, but, without having attachment with the results of such duties.  Dedicate all the results to Lord and perform your duties just like an instrument in the hands of Krishna.


(8) SPREAD LORD's NAMES TO OTHERS:

Sri Chaitanya Carithamrutha (Anthya Lila- 7.11) Says: 

"Kali Kalera dharma- Krishna Nama sankirthana Krishna Shakthi Vino nahe Dhara Pravardhana" meaning "Prime Dharma for kali Yuga is chanting Holy Name Of Krishna; Unless a person is empowered by Krishna, he can not spread the Hari Nam Sankirthan (Holy names of Lord)!"

Krishna says in the last chapter of Bhagavad Gita that those who spreads His messages to the interested people are His dear devotees.

So, follow all the above 8 Tips without fail in this kali yuga that will help you to get the full mercy of Lord Krishna.  

KEEP YOUR CONSCIOUSNESS ALWAYS FILLED WITH kRISHNA.
