Re: Advice for the Youth and Students

Respected Swamiji and all Vaisnavas,

      Nityananda Gauranga Hare Krishna! Please accept my respectful obesiances!

      I apologise if my last posts have been too graphic as though they've burst from a horror novel. But its really the fact. For those who have experienced spiritual bliss all this pain is not necessary. But for those who haven't, I say this approach will work because pain is something we can all experience readily.

     For those who have problems with agitated and restless mind I ask you to go to this page http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OCD and see if you have any of these symptoms.

      In my case this problem was causing me to think of lusty thoughts again and again which would slowly fuel the lust fire to ignition. Other than that this speculation problem has troubled my life in various other ways by ruining my schedules and making things miserable. Really the thoughts are the fuel to our problems. And if we can just divert the thought to the Lord, the problem is solved before it happened.

     It is not a mental diease or stigma to say that one's mind has a few problems. In my case, chanting the mantrarajas and discussing the thought process in detail helped me realise that I had this problem.

     My best solution is just to go on chanting Nityananda, Gauranga and the Hare Krishna maha mantra. My case came to a happy ending after all that trouble as the mantrarajas not only made me aware of my problem and how to prevent it, but they are also speedily getting rid of those symptoms and eventually they would have cured me of it too!

     So I pray that never in my life I must commit a Vaisnava aparadha even in dreams as that is the only real danger to our devotion at this stage. I now know the power of the names of the Lord. They are the best doctor. They diagnosed my problem and eventually cured it.

      For one who chants Nityaananda or Gauranga just once, the mantrarajas will immeditately descend and make arrangements that will eventually bring that person on to the path of devotion. No wonder it was said, "Chant just once!" Time will eventually give proof of that statement.

      Thank you very much for your mercy and patience in reading my own case. Hope this benefits the reader as well.

Daaso'smi,

Srinath
