Fall In Love With God
FALL IN LOVE WITH GOD Pray with sincerity humility and gratitude for atleast 15 minutes a day. RESTRICT FOOD CONSUMPTION Eat anything only after offering it to God. MEDITATION Meditate on the beauty of God, atleast thrice a day, atleast a minimum of 3 minutes each time. Chant Sri Vishnu Sahasranamam (the 1000 Holy Names of Lord Vishnu) once a day. RESPECT FOR ALL THAT IS HIS Strive to lead a life in which you will never hurt a fellow living being for any reason. MONEY Earn to live, educate, support and serve and not for the sake of pursuing materialistic desires. CHARITY Donate however little it may be to noble causes. Feeding the needy is the highest form of charity. CONTENTMENT Be happy and content that you are His. Thank your preceptors at least once a day for blessing you with this awareness. ABSOLUTE FAITH Place complete trust in the supreme LORD. Do not go against His way. SELF - CONTROL Strive to live a life free from selfish desire and anger. Always adorn a peaceful smile; it will work on others and on you too |

how beautiful...
this is so sweet. Thank you for providing a "formula" because you really can't find true "gurus" nowadays but learning something good from everyone is a more progress than none.

GokulKr, Very nice post indeed. The points you've mentioned there, if well followed would lead to a life of total peace and joy. 'Strive to lead a life in which you will never hurt a fellow living being for any reason.' - very true. Wish people could really follow this to the word. Deeptha Echampati

I think this pada seems to list off nearly everything you listed (except for that She doesn't make mention of charity)  :The colors of Shyama Sundara have penetrated Mira's body; all the other colors washed out. Making love with Shyama Sundara and eating little, those are my pearls and my carnelians. Meditation beads and the forehead streak, those are my scarves and my rings. That's enough feminine wiles for me. My teacher taught me this. Approve me or disapprove me: I praise Govardhan, the Mountain Holder, night and day. I take the path that ecstatic human beings have taken for centuries. I don't steal money, I don't hit anyone. What will you charge me with? I have felt the swaying of the elephant's shoulders; and now you want me to climb on a jackass? Try to be serious. --Mira Bai

And try and disribute a few of Srila Prabhupada's wonderful books Wow, how fortunate was I to be trained up in Prabhupada's book selling by the great pioneer of Book distribution, Buddhimanta Prabhu in 1973. I remember travelling with him, Hari Sauri, Gopikanta, Yasomatinandana, Balarama, Gopinathacarya, Somendrinath, and Gauragopala. We would stop in our orange combi-Van and chant in towns we visited and my God, those kirtans were ecstatically powerful. Those days were the best kirtans  And there is the great Buddhimanta dasa playing the base drum in Melbourme 1974 (Rathayatra festival)
