Weekend Activities.

Weekends are so relaxed. Have so much time for chanting and even doing other activities. This saturday was 4th in row to do some san-kirtan, however, seems it would be difficult to make a group which I thought initially. Chanting is best approach while living in Singapore. I did made decision over weekend to concentrate on chanting rather than going for group activities which I don't think Lord wants me to do at this stage. I should concentrate on myself and make myself steady first rather than pushing others for san-kirtana . It take lot of energy to organize and is not very fruitful as people are not interested too much in general and still it makes me angry when such failure happens. So better to chant alone. Let me see if I can chant on Gaura-Purnima 64 rounds and achieve 20% quality chanting in that.

Quotes

Chaitanya Mahaprabhu's order in Chaitanya Caritamrita was everyone should practice Krishna Consciousness and give it to everyone. Take up Krishna Consciousness and distribute it to everyone we meet.
yare dekho tare kaho Krishna
updesh
Whoever you meet, tell them about Krishna

A person acting in the service of Krsna with body, mind, intelligence and words is a liberated person even within the material world, although he may be engaged in many so-called material activities. (Bhakti-rasamrta-sindhu 1.2.187)

*********************************************

anyabhilasita-snnyam
jnana-karmady-anavrtam.

Pure devotional service can be attained only when it is uncontaminated with jnana and karma.

mumuksubhih parityago
vairagyah phalgu kathyate


When one is not attached to anything but at the same time accepts everything in relation to Krsna, one is rightly situated above possessiveness. On the other hand, one who rejects everything without knowledge of its relationship to Krsna is not as complete in his renunciation.
