A month ago I was regularly engaged in krsna conciousness and I was very happy but now I am at great misery and when I try to take the name of lord I somehow forget due to study pressure and also my habits deteriorated.
I am starting from now to regain my old habits please bless me and pray to lord to forgive what I have done in recent days of not remembering him.
Hare Krsna Prabhu, I hope everything will go well. Service to KRsna is the most important thing in life. Altough we may be engaged in other things for the time being, it is important to not lose track of the real goal.
Amazing article. I have a doubt, maybe you can even write about it after, but when you wrote about Krishna choose the person who He want to show Himself I remind some things I saw about we don’t be free to have choices due to psychological conditions, karma + the moods of the nature, so they say we don’t have choices or free-will. Well, I really can imagine we don’t have free-will due to many circunstancies, but are we really free of the choice? Because of our conditions what happens with us is really everything written or not? Do we have some kind of freedom to choose and go through a path or not? Thank you in advance.
Free will is an intrinsic characteristic of the soul, and even Krsna doesn't interfere with that. It's because of free will that we can ultimately come to this material world, even though we are spiritual by nature. The thing is that as we become covered by matter, and become conditioned by our past choices due to karma, our free will become smaller, but it is always present, and it can again be expanded when we use it to make the right choices. I will try to write more on that.
Hare Krishna prabhuji.

It is interesting to note the gradual elevation of the subject with enough command and clarity. Hare Krishna. 🙏
Yes, this is a characteristic of most Upanisads, just as in the Srima Bhagavatam.
