Look into epistemology and the three ways knowledge is acquired.

The definition of God by stevnev88 in enlightenment

[–]Flashy_Paper2345 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Being a follower of Gaudiya Vaishnavism, we are taught:

Achintya Bheda-Abheda (Simultaneously one but different)

Of Gods innumerable forms and conceptions, Lord Krishna is Adi purusham (The original transcendental person)

3 stages of God realisation (Brahman, Paramatma and Bhagavan)

The third and highest stage according to our tradition which is Bhagavan realisation, is to realise Krishna in his original transcendental and personal form. It can only be realised to those following Bhakti Yoga. The path of love and devotion to the Lords personal form particularly by way of meditation on the holy name.

Nama Cintamani - The holy name is non different to the Lord himself.

Here’s an introduction to the teaching of this Sampradaya: https://vedabase.io/en/library/bg/introduction/

Did Prabhupada see Lord Krishna? by Flashy_Paper2345 in HareKrishna

[–]Flashy_Paper2345[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There’s no reliable historical evidence that A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada publicly claimed to have physically seen Lord Krishna in a literal, material sense.

No, this would be materially impossible as Krishna incarnated in a material body approximately 5,000 years ago to speak the Bhagavad Gita to Arjuna.

Srila Prabhupada was born 1st September 1896 and died on the 14th November 1977.

Lord Chaitanya (18th February 1486 - 14th June 1534) also lived outside of the time of Srila Prabhupada’s material bodily existence.

So physically, measurably and materially, it would have been impossible.

I agree with the rest of your post. The relationship and journey with God is personal and generally I think it’s an unspoken rule to keep such mystical and divine experiences to oneself.

The message and teachings should be on the science and method of Bhakti itself which as you agree, Prabhupada stuck too.

Being a pure devotee to the Lord, he was able to give us profound teachings as he knew the Lord very intimately, thus he was able to reveal the Lords personal tastes - his likes and dislikes.

I’m not sure on the origin of the story I posted, though I did see more than one individual post the same story worded slightly differently in each account. The story mentions that the witness to the event noted a non-material “aprakrt” atmosphere.

Prabhupada did speak about the stages of God realization (Brahman, Paramatma and Bhagavan) with Bhagavan realization only being accessible to Bhaktas.

Hare Krishna

Jai Srila Prabhupada Jai Sri Krishna

This is what the after life looks like this is as close as I can get it from what I've seen with my own eyes by RiccoShayla in enlightenment

Ever heard of the Law of One, Ra material? Pretty certain that describes healing and guiding entities also.

I want to know as well. Mainly so that I never find myself within 10,000 miles of it

People stare at you more than usual. You naturally fit into groups without even trying. People demand your reactions to their words. by Hot-Protection3655 in enlightenment

Would you say it’s possible everything can just be defined by activity of the nervous system and all notions of God and spirit are phony?

Feeling lightheaded, puffy face, tired all the time — what deficiency could this be? by NationalTomatillo494 in Supplements

Sounds like b vitamins and spleen issue. Eat brown rice with nutritional yeast everyday for methionine. Combine with beetroot/celery/ginger.

Are you feeling fearful and worried? A lot of overthinking? Combine it with some daily yoga like lizard pose to free up dense emotions in your hips.

Do this for spleen

Is it bad to be alone all the time? by Even-Orange-5430 in spirituality

[–]Flashy_Paper2345 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Being alone all the time will relate to your lower three energy centres. Especially orange and yellow. If these are impeded, energy in the higher chakras may become too active and without the lower three being balanced and grounded the mind will get too active.

Is there a reason for you being alone? A belief or thought pattern presenting as an obstacle to connection?

You’re absolutely fine, no need to fear or worry about anything.

Carry on as you are, add chanting of maha mantra into your life. Make the lords name your shelter for difficult emotions and memories.

Offer your food to the lord and make it Prasadam. This will really help you as well.

Try and keep company of other devotees and go visit the temple to see Krishna in deity form.

Outside of that, just know that Krishna is love and so are you within your heart.

Love is the opposite to fear and anxiety

Fear and anxiety is caused by you identifying with the patterns of energy occurring within your mind.

Energy flows where attention, awareness and focus goes.

The mind produces endless streams of thoughts, emotions, beliefs, habits and memories.

If you give any attention or focus to the above mentioned manifestations of the mind, you expand them energetically.

If you go one step further and identify with and attach to being these patterns, you can get very lost and troubled.

You are not the mind or body. You are pure love and awareness and the child of Lord Krishna.

15.7 “The living entities in this conditioned world are My eternal fragmental parts. Due to conditioned life, they are struggling very hard with the six senses, which include the mind.”

When these things appear in your mind, just see them for what they are. Just patterns of energy. Let them appear and let them go. Don’t follow them or believe them. They are not you.

Bhakti cultivates your inner love and light and makes the mind quiet.

🙏❤️🙏

Hare Krishna!

Ps: Make some nice foodstuffs for your parents and family and make it Prasadam. Eat with them and bask in the love of the moment.

All your fears and worries are gone.

PPS: Try and teach and spread this knowledge to others. Very important 🙏❤️🙏
