Easy Journey!



...Anyone who trains the mind to turn from matter to the spiritual form of the Godhead by performance of bhakti-yoga can easily attain the kingdom of God in the anti-material sky. Of this there is no doubt...
A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada.

Our next Bhakti Book Group read is Easy Journey to Other Planets, if you do not have a personal copy an online version can be found here... http://files.krishna.com/en/pdf/e-books/Easy_Journey_to_Other_Planets.pdf

Whilst reading please consider these points.
  • How does Prabhupada describe 'matter' and what is it's relationship to 'anti-matter'?
  • The anti-material particle is never created nor destroyed, which sloka/s in the Bhagavad Gita supports this statement?
  • Lord Caitanya selected the 5 most important instructions to be followed by the serious candidates, what is their goal? Reflect upon your own spiritual practice whilst considering this point.
  • What are the 9 modes of devotional service to the Lord?
  • In this book, 'suffering' is discussed at length, which sloka/s in the Bhagavad Gita instruct us on how to deal with suffering?
  • What is the definition of Sac-cid-ananda?
  • What is Srila Prabhupada's final statement in this book?
ENJOY!!!

    Well, I haven't answered all the questions yet, but feel enlivened just seeing them and thinking about it. Hope people get to know about it. Would you like me to send the link to my f/b friends? Sarvamangala

    That would be great Sarva!! - thank you for your support. I am enjoying the service SO much. Sorry for the delayed response. I'm going to get some business cards made up so that will help spread the word. Jaya Srila Prabhupada! xx
