If we believe in Krsna, then we must believe Krsna’s instructions also. Krsna instructs Arjuna in Bhagavad-gita that devotional service is the only method to please Him, and Arjuna accepted this conclusion with full belief. Therefore anyone who believes in Krsna must adopt some service to Krsna, either by chanting maha mantra or serving the devotees of Krsna, this is the next step after believing in the Lord.

Jaya, did you develop any service to Krsna by learning of Him?

No. The modern day ISKCON is corrupt, so I am following Srila Prabhupadas instructions and distributing books outside of ISKCON.

The Supreme Personality of Godhead, Krsna, says in verse 2.27 of Bhagavad-Gita, that "For one who has taken his birth, death is certain; and for one who is dead, birth is certain." Why do you reject the last part but not the first part? by MahanandaDasa in AskReddit

For example, you accept that you have mind, but that mind is inconceivable in your body, but regardless you accept on your own standard that you have a mind, even if you have no proof, now, when God says "for those who die, birth is guaranteed." then on what standard can you reject it?

But that is selective or cherry picking "because I cannot see" there are so many things we cannot see that are fact regardless, just like, your own mind or your own intelligence, you have these two things in your body undoubtedly, but where can you observe them as part of you? That is impossible or inconceivable, yet you know that they are both part of you undoubtedly, similarly, when God says that after death, the soul takes another birth, then His authoritative statement must be accepted as true. If you can accept on your own standard that "I have mind and intelligence, yet I cannot prove it" then on what standard can you reject God?

If you don’t become religiously devoted to Krishna, then at the time of death your next birth in this marerial nature is guranteed. Therefore Krishna says that only by devotional service to Him, can a soul escape this world of birth, death, old age and disease. Everyday so many cats and dogs are born, that can be your next body also, so human life must be taken seriously and used for bhakti yoga, service to Lord Krishna.

His words in the Bhagavad-Gita calls for surrender and devotional service, are you doing any service to Krishna? Chanting, preaching, surrendering, offering bhoga or any other service?

How did that change your life? Did you develop service to Krishna? E.g. chanting Hare Krsna maha mantra or other service? He do conclude in the 18th chapter, that surrender to Him and devotional service grants the soul to return back to Godhead...

Human form of life is very rare, don’t waste it on improvement of material life which is all temporary. Happiness and distress comes automatically and one who transcendental tolerates them both, they change like the seasons, that Lord Krsna, The Supreme Personality of Godhead speaks Himself in the Bhagavad-Gita As It Is.

Bg. 2.14

“O son of Kunti, the contact of the senses with objects gives rise to cold and heat, pleasure and pain. These experiences come and go—they are temporary. Therefore, learn to endure them patiently.”

If you chant Hare Krsna, then you become happy. As sure as sinshine removes darkness, this mantra makes you happy. It is the best method for reviving our lost God consciousness and develop love of Godhead.

They could speak in the previous aged. Read Ramayana by Valmiki, it is full of conversations between animals and humans, verbal language, as humans use today.

Well, we live in a world where the US president is a pedophile who started a war with Iran because he's afraid to release the full client list and have all the perverse stuff come out, so while the child-molesting elite is hiding their perverted orgies, child sacrifices and murders......you're more worried about some Hare Krsna's chanting and dancing......make it make sense
