Śraddhā

In this series "Krsna Consciousness Basics" we explore different concepts of Kṛṣṇa Consciousness, the practice of Bhakti-Yoga.

For the last decade I have traveled around the world to search out the truth and embraced many different paths of wisdom.

Coming to the Kṛṣṇa Bhakti-Yoga tradition, especially the Gaudiya Vaisnavas from India I found shelter and made friends with the Hare Kṛṣṇa lifestyle and movement.

Yoga means "Union" or "to link up", this refers to the Absolute Truth which comes in a personal and impersonal form. This wisdom of Yoga is manifested in the Vedas, the Word of God.

The Vedas discuss Polymorphic Bi-Monotheism, a unique Supreme God who is apparent in Radha-Kṛṣṇa, the divine couple, manifesting in many forms.

Studying this tradition is fun and practical. It turned my personal life around and became my life and soul. For example, learning Sanskrit, the Mother of all Languages is great joy.

Śraddhā is a Sanskrit term and refers to the root of this tree of Kṛṣṇa consciousness. How can one believe in such a wonderful theology?

Śraddhā is like a seed that was planted by a little contact with the Vedas, Yoga or the devotees of Kṛṣṇa.
Just by this mercy faith is instilled and can grow into a spiritual practice.

This book is for everyone interested in Meditation, faith, belief, transcendence & practical spiritual knowledge.

Śraddhā or faith is one step on a 9-step ladder to Love of God which will be discussed accordingly.
