Dear J..
Hello. Hare Krishna
Thanks for visiting my home page. I don't know that much about hard-core
really. I just thought it was nice some young people were giving up
intoxication, meat eating and illicit sex. This is very thoughtful.
As for Krishna consciousness, it is not a cruch... It is the eternal occupation
of the soul, it is our natual business. We are servants anyhow, you can't get
around that. You have to serve someone [your girl-friend, wife, family,
employer, and ultimately your senses...] so where is the question of giving up
service? Krishna consciousness just means to serve the Supreme Personality of
Godhead, Krishna, instead of all that mundane service. It is a completely
different thing... Any mundane material service becmes distasteful after some
time. You take the nicest food you know.. eat one plate, that's fine -- but try
and eat ten plates, fifty plates, 100 plates... It's impossable. It's
revolting... That's the nature of the material world. Nice in the beginning and
revolting in the end... But spiritual life is different. In the beginning we
are not that attracted by it... It seems like we would have to give up so many
"enjoyable" things... But if you take to it you will find transcendental
pleasure you never dreamed possible... it will make the so-called "pleasures"
of the material world look very dim indeed...
So try it. Chant Hare Krishna and read Srila Prabhupada's books...
Anyhow write back and tell me what you think...
Chant Hare Krishna and be happy!
