A spiritual leader of the International Society for Krishna Consciousness
Message from His Holiness
Love, love, love. Mortals seek for love because we had a loving relationship with Krishna in our original pure state in the spiritual world. However, when we entered the material world, our emotion of love was catalyzed to lust due to contact with the mode of passion. That original love can be revived in devotional service to Lord Krishna. And chanting Krishna’s names is the core of devotional service.
Your servant,
Bhakti Vasudeva Swami
