Title: Join Hare Krishna Movement and Become Virtuous


1
LIVE VIRTUOUS LIFE BY JOINING HARE KRISHNA
MOVEMENT
2
What is Hare Krishna Movement
  • The Hare Krishna movement is a branch of
    Hinduism, formally known as Gaudiya Vaishnavism.
    Its name comes from its chant Hare Krishna
    which devotees repeat over and over. It was
    started in the 16th century by Sri Chaitanya of
    Bengal (1486-1533). He emphasized the worship of
    Krishna and believed that chanting the names of
    God was so powerful that in addition to one's own
    meditation on them, they should also be chanted
    in the streets for the benefit of all.

How does the Hare Krishna movement differ from
other strains of Hinduism?
  • Devotees of the Hare Krishna movement consider
    themselves monotheistic. According to the sacred
    texts, Bhagavad Gita and Bhagvat Purana, Krishna
    is the supreme God, who oversees millions of
    demigods who are seen as administrators of the
    universal affairs. These demigods are needed to
    run creation. They have certain roles, but just
    as the secretary of state reports to the
    president these demigods serve at the pleasure
    of Krishna. Krishna is often accompanied by
    Radharani, the female aspect or counterpart of
    Krishna.

What is the Hare Krishna mantra?
  • Hare Krishna, Hare Krishna, Krishna Krishna,
    Hare Hare, Hare Rama, Hare Rama, Rama Rama, Hare
    Hare
  • The word "mantra" means to deliver or free the
    mind. The word "Hare" refers to the divine
    feminine potency of God. "Krishna" means the
    all-attractive one, and "Rama" is the reservoir
    of all pleasure.

5
Reincarnation and karma what are those about?
  • In Hinduism, karma what a person deserves for
    his past acts proceeds not only from what he
    has done in the present life but from past lives
    as well. According to Hindu philosophy, human
    beings are not always reborn as human beings.
    Some are, but others are promoted to still higher
    forms, forms beyond our present experience, and
    others are degraded to lower species. One's
    future status depends on whether one lives in
    harmony with nature's laws or violates them. Only
    human beings can gain freedom from the cycle of
    birth and death.

Why don't Hare Krishna Devotees eat meat?
  • Hindus believe that animals are children of
    Krishna, created by God with a soul. Therefore,
    to eat an animal is an affront to God. Moreover,
    it's bad for your consciousness Because the
    slaughter of animals is violent, when you eat
    meat, fish or fowl, you are subjecting yourself
    to more violent thoughts and, perhaps, violent
    behavior. In Hinduism, cooking is intertwined
    with spirituality. Hare Krishna Devotees believe
    they are cooking for the pleasure of God. They
    never sample the food they are cooking, since it
    must be offered to Krishna first.

What is Hare Krishna movement?
  • The Hare Krishna movement is originated from the
    Gaudily Vaishnavism, wherein the word Vaishnavism
    means worship of the Vishnu, and Gaudiya means
    the particular region where Vaishnavism
    originated, that is, West Bengal. The movement is
    also known as the Hare Consciousness and Hare
    Krishna the Hare followers practice bhakti yoga
    and worship the supreme lord, Krishna. Through
    bhakti yoga, the followers try to dedicate all
    their actions and thoughts to Lord Krishna.

8
What Hare Krishna do?
  • The Hare followers practice Bhakti yoga. They
    preach the teaching of Bhagwad Gita and Sri mand
    Bhagavatanam. They enchant the Hare Krishna
    Mantra. With their preaching, they try to draw
    away themselves from the materialistic world. The
    Bhakti Yoga motivates them to move on the right
    path, and shed off the vanity and become
    virtuous. All these Hare followers congregate at
    the ISKCON temple. At present, all Hare followers
    gather there to the worship the Lord and sing his
    praises.
