Kirtan is not merely a religious song, but a feeling of ecstasy emanating from love and devotion, accompanied by singing and dancing of the highest spiritual order when one can feel the presence of Almighty. In fact, Chaitanya believed that by singing Kirtan alone one can realise God, because it transports the mind from the material world to the divine world.

This is why we need for a time to withdraw from the world, to meditate in silence and solitude on a higher meaning, and listen to that eternal spark in the Heart, which waits for us to turn and listen. The God-within us knows us better than anyone and in fact possesses everything we ever wanted. Only the God-within can give the real lasting Love, Peace, and Knowledge that all of us long for sooner or later.
Even in an enlightened state, would we be capable of holding the entirety of the God Force within our consciousness and Being? This is where the partnership between you and God begins to take effect, and also answers the post-ecstasy question - What now? Every culture on this planet is suffering under the delusion and density of the Kali Yuga. Not that my own culture is something to emulate. It cannot be entirely baseless that in the last few years America has become the object of hatred and derision around the world.
Certainly I would not be arduously reading the sacred Sanskrit texts if there were anything in my own western culture that could answer my inner quest for knowledge and truth. For me there is nothing as powerful and enlightening as the Bhagavad Gita. Because this book, The Betrayal of Krishna, is quite difficult to get, I am going to review it in a very thorough way and share with you the intensely illuminating, courageous insights of Mr.

The enlightened consciousness of knowing and seeing God dwelling within the All fills us with joy and strength.

Krishna tells Arjuna that the great soul mahatma who thinks that God is All, Vasudeva sarvam iti , is hard to find. Because we are always living within the One, swimming in waveforms, an ocean of splendor and bliss, there can always be, beyond the bondage of the five senses and guna-maya , as Krishna Chaitanya says, moments of time that can break into eternity.
At any moment we may realize, access, and touch our Source, at least that part within us. At any moment we may feel that we are Home and that feeling, that immense Love, can be here and now in the human body, which is designed and intended to have such experiences. He understands that as we destroy Nature, so we destroy the unique and sublime opportunity to Become in communion and union with the Creator.
For centuries Western art was primarily committed to expressing the ideals of Christianity. There are thousands of paintings of Christ being tortured and crucified; along with thousands more of the martyred saints whose excruciatingly ingenious tortures are depicted in great and gruesome detail.
