Goal of Human Life

It is a fact that every individual performs actions with a specific aim. No one can remain inactive even for a moment and no action is performed without a purpose.

The Darśhan Śhāstra declares:

prayojanamanuddiśhya mando̓pi na pravartate

However, we can say that every individual performs various actions every moment with a single purpose. It may appear strange but it is true. Some do good deeds and some perform bad ones.

How Maya Help Us

The world itself is a teacher that is always teaching the individual soul by constantly showering unhappiness and pain, thereby feeding detachment. This detachment from the world constantly pushes the soul towards God.  Maya is like the loving mother who slaps her child so that the child does not walk on the wrong path, and pushes the child towards God.

True Meaning of Sankirtan

Reciting Shree Radha Krishna’s names and singing the glories of their forms, pastimes, qualities and abode is known as sankirtan. 

The Ramayan says:

ehī kali kāla na sādhana dūjā

joga na japa tapa vrata makha puja

kaliyuga kevala nāma adhārā

sumiri sumiri nara utarahiṅ pārā

“There is no other method in Kaliyug.  Neither yoga, nor austerity, nor yagya, nor worship will take you to your goal.  Just sing the glories of God, engage your mind in roopdhyan (loving remembrance) and listen to his glories from the Saints.  This is the only means in Kaliyug to attain one’s ultimate goal."

Find out more about the true meaning of Sankirtan in this wonderful video from Jagadguru Shree Kripaluji Maharaj's 2002 lecture in Brahmapur.

God Alone is Ours

Jagadguru Shree Kripaluji Maharaj explains that God alone is ours, while the world can never be ours.  He alone is our Mother, Father, Friend and Beloved.
