all serching for God

Imported quote 17538

So whole thing is summarized in one word: "Krsna," means all-attractive. He draws the attraction of Vasudeva. He draws the attraction of Yadu-kula. He draws the attraction of Arjuna. He draws attraction everyone, all devotees. Mama vartmanuvartante partha sarvasaḥ [Bg 4.11]. The whole world, civilized world, they have got some religion-Christian religion, Muhammadan religion, Hindu religion, Buddhist religion, and many other subordinate religion. Under the groups of Christian, there are so many churches-Protestant, Catholic. In the Muhammadan, they have got Shi'a, Sunni, Sikh, so many. In Hindus also, Vaisnavas and Saktas and Sauras, Ganapatyas, so many. But Krsna says, "The all of them, seeking after Me." Mama vartmanuvartante partha sarvasaḥ: "Everyone, they may go on under different religious systems, but the aim is how to approach Me." Vedais ca sarvair aham eva vedyaḥ [Bg 15.15]. (More...)

So you can call the Supreme Lord "Krsna" or something else. Just like Muhammadans, they say "Allah." Allah means "the Supreme Being." Allahu akbar. And the Christian says, "God is great," and we say, param brahma param dhama [Bg 10.12], or "Krsna, all-attractive." But the aim is to understand Krsna. That Krsna personally appears so that your misgivings, misunderstanding, may be mitigated immediately-"Here I am." The Krsna consciousness movement is for this purpose, that "You religionist, you philosophers, you scientist, you speculators, you are all..., theosophists, so many, you are searching after God, and here is God, Krsna." But they are so unfortunate, they'll not accept it. "No, why shall I accept Krsna as God?" Then why you shall not? That is our question. If you do not accept Krsna as God, then you must know what is God. That, if I ask him, "Do you know what is God?" "That I do not know." (More...)
