Re: Spiritual realization or mental speculation?

Nityaananda! Gauraanga! Hare Krishna! If those thoughts and realizations are according to the scriptures and the teachings of Guru and the Acharyas, then they are certainly real and conducive for Bhajana. Shrila Rupa Goswami states in Shri Namashtakam that the Lord and His Holy Name does give glimpses of the ultimate attainment of Prema Bhakti, to the praciticing devotees in order to encourage them on the path. Shrila Prabhupada states that it is mandatory that one should think of the Form or Qualities or the Pastimes of the Lord while chanting the Holy Names so that our mind is properly absorbed in the Mantra.

Daaso'smi, Swami Gaurangapada.
