Sankirtana!??? Seveda da!!

Danes je bil v templju zaključek sankirtan maratona. Hmm, no letos zaradi raznih razlogov nisem bil sam aktiven. Po eni strani veliko dela z yajnami in astrologijo ter tudi iskanje novega mesta za bivanje. Malce sem pomagal v kuhinji, potem pa sem z veseljem poslušal realizacije bhakt v aktivnosti deljenja knjig. Deljenje knjig je primarna aktivnost s katero lahko ljudi pripeljemo bližje Krišni. To je zelo pomembna služba in bhakte imajo nešteto realizacij. Po drugi strani pa mora ISKCON razviti zelo močno delovanje na področju kako vključiti interesirane ljudi. Na tem področju so mogoče druge duhovne skupine kot mormoni, jehove priče malce bolj ekspertni. Recimo mormoni in jehove priče so na svetu najbolj rastoče verske skupnosti ravno zaradi razloga, da znajo kovati vroče železo in ljudi aktivno vključiti v duhovne aktivnosti svoje verske skupnosti. Tu je ISKCON imel kar nekaj uspešnih poskusov, samo moramo še stvari poglobiti. Tako bomo sposobni vse interesirane ljudi direktno vključiti v vdano služenje. Če oseba ostane zapisana samo v izpolnjenem obrazcu potem bo verjetnost, da postane bhakta veliko manjša kot, da jo nekdo aktivno vzpodbudi. Jaz osebno sem dobil prvo Šrila Prabhupadovo knjigo leta 83, ko sem bil star 11 let in sem moral potem se sam prebijati do boljšega razumevanja. Velikokrat sem obžaloval, da nisem mogel izkorisiti več let duhovnosti, saj sem šele leta 89 izvedel za Maha Mantro, leta 90 za darovanje hrane. Leta 91 sem šel prvič v tempelj itd. Leta 95 pa nekako izvedel, kaj v resnici je duhovno življenje. Hmm, 12 let bi lahko veliko boljše izkoristil, če bi se nekdo potrudil, da bi me osebno vzpodbudil.

Today there was concluding celebration in the temple for sankirtana marathon. Hmm, this year because of few reasons I was not so active personally. On the one side there was lots of work with yajnas and astrology. On the other side also searching for new residence place. I could help few times in kitchen and hear the realisations of devotees about book distribution. Interesting pastimes. Book distribution is primary activity by which we can bring people closer to Krishna Consciousness. This is very important service and devotees have unlimited realisations. On the other hand ISKCON has to develop a very strong activity of engaging interested people. On this field maybe other spiritual groups like mormons, jehovas witnesses are little more expert. For example mormons and jehowas witnesses are most growing spiritual communities, just because of the reason that they know how to hammer the iron as long it is hot. Here ISKCON had a few very succesful attempts, but we have deepen the efforts. In such way we will be able to engage interested people directly in devotional service. If the person exists only as written on a form or in our memory how she got a book the chance he will become devotee is much smaller as when some person will actively encourage him. I personally got first Srila Prabhupada book in the year 83, when I was 11 years old, but then had to struggle alone to gain better understanding. I many times regreted that I couldn't better use this years of spirituality, as only in year 89 I came to know about Maha Mantra, and in year 90 for offering of food. Then in year 1991 I first time came to temple. Then in year 95 I started spiritual life more seriously, because I came to know what spiritual life in reality is. This 12 years I could use much better, if someone took endeavor to personally encourage me. ,
