Is krishna important?

[Guest guest]

I mean I sometimes feel an affinity for Tirupati. And many people believe that Krishna and Tirupati are identital. So is it right to chant his name, instead of krishna? or is the word important, since they say krishna's name is non-different from his form? does it mean I should only chant 'krishna'?

[Guest guest]

would say Krishna (God), is everything, thus chanting the name of any other God, you're still worshipping Krishna in that form.

 

Worrying about whether you're worshipping the right God is ignorance.

--they are identical..

--any name of krsna is transcendental and brings liberation and pure devotion. But our process is more effective and fast if we follow the instructions of a pure and perfect spiritual master. Actually the bhagavad gita says that a spiritual master is necessary.

So i know many transcendental gurus who ask to the disciples to chant in concentration everyday at least a certain number of:

 

hare krishna

hare krishna

krishna krishna

hare hare

hare rama

hare rama

rama rama

hare hare

 

if you are attracted by tirupati, i am too, you can chant hare krsna knowing that you are addressing surely your beloved one.. if you want to do differently i only recommend to you to go to tirupati to search shelter in some exalted devotee living, teaching and initiating there.

 

If we want to reach the ultimate goal of going back in goloka/vaikunta we have to surrender to a guru and follow his instructions
