Resourcing and Mindful Approaches to Spiritual Practice
A presentation by Tulasi Krishna Devi Dasi
Caitanya Mahaprabhu writes in Sri Siksastakam that by remaining in a humble state of mind we will be able to chant the holy name of the Lord constantly. We know that the holy name is completely pure and contains everything, including the power to disentangle us from the material world. In this class we will discuss the importance of begging for the mercy of our spiritual masters as a necessary means to be able to chant the holy name. Drawing on some parallels between therapeutic tools and spiritual practice, we will explore some modern methods to increase our feeling of connection with Guru and Krishna.
