Brahmacarya originaly meant to study in secluded place with the presence of the qualified teacher, guru or acarya has drifted to the modern concept of proselytism in the turmoil of the streets, with sight not conducive for a daily absorption, called preaching.
In the mean time the youth of the sadhaka missed its sadhya, as obtaining the bhakti jñana and acquiring the sufficient knowledge for his grhasta life, protection of his wife and children, but only without qualification for earning his sustainance, all for the sake of collecting alms for maintaining the institution.
After many years of wandering from city to city, the exhausted jiva has to find the assistance of social services not accepted anymore in the temple he had once contributed to maintain, forsaken by the same autorities who used to praise him for his scores.
This is the peregrination of the enrolled jivaatma.
Thankyou for sharing your personal journey, and also uplifting other souls on theirs. You have a unique skill of simplifying deep ancient scriptures in a way that everyone ,no matter what their background or experience can access. What is really appreciated is your deep understanding of many traditions/rules created within society. You have a beautiful way of carving out pure intentions that were set within ancient teachings and you deliver them in a very human way. That’s true Seva. Please keep shining your light bright. Hare Krishna.🙏❤️🙏
The spiritual path is not for the faint hearted! “ Pray for the people that pour wisdom into you. That wisdom didn't come without pain.” It was paid for with tears, hard lessons, and seasons most people never saw
We shouldn’t take it lightly. Thank you Keshava Swami 🫶🏻
Beaautiful photo and a beautiful reflection by a contemporary monk, which really helps us to understand spirituality with grace and from the botton of the heart!!! 🧡🩵💙Thank you Kesava Swami!! Hare Krishna ⚘️
We seek Bhakti Yoga in these articles. That is Tattva. Abstract monastic concepts do not interest us. Secular literature is full of that. Enough of that already.
His speech doesn't mention Swami Prabhupada. And no other prominent Acharya before him. ISKCON is primarily his mission. Looking at earlier writings from our founder Acharya, we see a personal touch.
Thank you so much, first of all for dedicating your life to serve others to transform, to relate and get closer to God. And thank you for giving us hope that we too, those inmersed in the complexities of world demands, can access to inner monkhood. You always inspires us in so many different practical ways in the direction of the path of Love of God. Please help us to be authentic, brave, reflective and to not just chase the ball. We all need to walk together back home. And I pray that you have all the blessings to continue your beautiful and courageous journey, with all God's Mercy and people's love.
Another place, other than Bramhacharya Ashram to do the inner work is Chaplaincy "Clinical Pastoral Education." I have been on this journey for a few years and will be more than happy to share. Hari Bol!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
