Answering Your Questions | Q & A Session Part 2

This is episode 13 of the Hari-katha Podcast, where Bhakti Lalita answers the following questions from our viewers: 1) Q: I just missed meeting Srila Govinda Maharaj, he left the world right when I arrived to the Math. He left so many qualified representatives I know, but I wanted his connection… 2) Q: It’s not always easy to share and speak such high things as the concepts of our Gurus to the people I come across, I can only share the little that I know and don’t have so much to say. I have a strong desire to preach but my understanding is simple and basic. Do we really need to have very extensive knowledge to speak to others we meet? 3) Q: Sometimes everything is so easy going in spiritual practice and other times I feel like it’s an uphill battle. How do we pace ourselves in both situations? 4) Q: What is the actual nature of Goloka Vrindavan, the land of Radha-Krishna situated at the highest point in the spiritual sky? 5) Q: How can we conceive that nothing is outside of or separate from the Lord? 6) Q: Srila Guru Maharaj said, ‘learn to give ashes’, just go through the learning process and the motions of giving. What does this mean? 7): Q: Actual spiritual attainment and realization seems like an impossibility. There are times I wonder why even bother trying? 8): Q: What do you say to people who still believe in Darwinian evolution? I come across them in school all the time. 9) Q: What is Bhakti, Krishna Consciousness, Gaudiya-Vaishnava culture, Prema Dharma? So many names for the same thing.

Answering Your Questions | Q & A Session

In this episode Bhakti Lalita answers questions sent in by the Hari-katha Podcast viewers:

1.) By following spiritual practices, maintaining religious principals and doing service can we be certain to become realized? 
2.) What should we remember as we go about our daily lives? 
3.) Is there any confirmation that our spiritual ideals and ultimate goal really exist? 
4.) How do we deal with and tolerate all the opposing forces in our environment? Oftentimes it is very difficult to find the solution. 
5.) What is one to do when one is constantly being tested? and what if I fail… 
6.) If we are ever in a situation where we need to assess other people in our lives than what is the criterion? 
7.) What is the way to achieve control of our senses and mind? My mind and senses can be so out of control a lot of the time… 
8.) We are all searching for fulfillment but are never satisfied, people end up doing very self-destructive things to numb that unfulfilled void.
9.) What if we just go on, just living our basic lives — eating, sleeping, procreation, defending ourselves -- without any kind of awareness?
10.) Are you at all concerned about the news and current events in the world, like in the USA where you were born and raised?
