So Many Forms of God - Why Worship Lord Krishna? | Swami Mukundananda

So Many Forms of God - Why Worship Lord Krishna?
One of the common questions among spiritual seekers is - There are many forms of God. Is there any specific reason why I should worship Lord Krishna? A slight variant of the above question is also prevalent - Does Ananya Bhakti or Exclusive devotion to God means worshipping only Lord Krishna?
The short answer is this - Any form of God you worship is the ultimate. However, the goal is to attach your mind to the divine realm. In addition, if you choose your Isht-Dev or the form of God that your mind could get attracted to quickly, it will help you make rapid progress in your spiritual path.
Watch more to learn as Swami Mukundananda answers the above questions by relating Ananya Bhakti, or Exclusive Devotion to God, in detail.

All blessings for Swami Mukundananda, in decades of searching, no other Swami has showed to me so deep knowledge.

[@karthikramamoorthy9311]

[@SinghOm_Indian07]

This is the best attribute of Swamiji. His Style of Explaining Even The Most Difficult Concepts In Such An Adorable,Easy And Beautiful Manner Is Just WOW!!!. I am 18 and have been following Swamiji Since Last 5 Years And Have Seen Many Of His Lectures, But Till Date I Have Never Ever Seen Swamiji Disrespecting Other Forms Of The Divine, Like Other So Called Neo-Fantics, Despite The Fact That His Isht Are Radha Krishna. Just Love You Swamiji.❤❤ Jai Shriman Narayan.🙏🏻🙏🏻

I am waiting for my Krishna feet💫

[@aryanthakur1328]

Actually i become a neutral person and the consequences are sometimes I feel i become a machine i don't have any emotions 😂😂...i just only laugh and smile when their is something about Krishna otherwise this world seems boring.....yeah sometimes I feel like Krishna has snatched everything from me🥲...but it's alright I know at the end it will be alll worthy..... radhey radhey 🏵️🏵️🏵️

[@kaushikbhowal8260]

Beautiful explanation. Swamiji, you have unknowingly answered my doubt now. God must have sent this message to me today. Thank you so much.

[@Jessica-fw4lm]

I love my sweet Krishna ❤️🕉🕉🕉

[@Jessica-fw4lm]

[@adwait.2932]

Swami ji never disrespect other forms of God.Thats the main thing i love him❤🙏

[@prabhanksarwaikar1029]

But iskcon does. Swami mukunananda is much better than Iskcon. Iskcon only says to worship Vishnu/Krishna and neglects every other form. This is not good at all.

[@The_Haribhakt]

@@prabhanksarwaikar1029 yes you are totally right but if we only percieve iskcon for bhakti then i think it is good cause they are responsible for spreading sanatan dharma

[@HellonihaoJohnnyHola]

​@@prabhanksarwaikar1029Not true. Because some might have done by their own act not bcoz they're from iskcon. You might have heard of worshipping demi gods and Lord shiva, ma durga devi. People worship certain devtas to attain some material prosperity but iskcon main aim is to preach bhakti and take the souls to Vaikunta. So, people who want only opulences and wants to remain here to enjoy in this temporary world may get offended by them if they're one of them or of false proofs. And now i'd request you See, go to classes of Srimad bhagavatam in iskcon. They r the first one to say that shivayya is first vaisnava of all. He's very exalted devotee of vishnu. And about maa durga is devi is also worshipped by common people to kill animals or for material desires mostly . Again for this reason they might be against. But not to disrespect specifically. Trust me, I've thought same but when I reasearched bit, it's not truth

[@srikala5770]

We should practice ananya bhakti. To progress rapidly, we should choose one God. Choosing one Ishta dev will develop love for God. If we develop love for one God, we will develop love for all forms for God. Enchanting form of God along with pastimes easily draw our mind. Worship of Shree Krishna is more sweeter because of his prem madhuri, bal madhuri, murali madhuri and roop madhuri. Be neutral towards the world. We need to keep this knowledge with us all the time.

[@adwait.2932]

Really Awesome explanation👌 Thanks swami ji for clearing some misconceptions Jai Shri Krishna🙏

[@arunadas7809]

Very inspiring 🙏🙏

[@vishlanaidu4454]

Beautifully explained Prabhu ji 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@krishnagiridhar3692]

I always address ISWARA AS GANESH ISWARA AS LORD SHIVA.... And chant prayers. I thinks each deity in isolation is particular frequency of God's energy or divinity. But when recognise Deity is iswara we are addressing ONE only🙏🕉️

[@lalgith]

Can the audio be fixed?

[@smitamehtadenton]

If our goal is to seek the divine love-bliss of God, then we will get it from God’s sweet Krishna form, not from any of the opulent forms of God. This is especially important for developing ananya bhakti. Thank you, Swamiji!

[@ramaachavan2311]

[@vedicastroeng]

Really love Swami Mukundananda.. Anyone who got exhausted by Iskcon or felt something off, should take a step up and listen to swami Mukundanandaji 🙏🏽. No bias

[@HitPremanandJiMaharaj]

All are bhakti saints you may be finding more attachment towards swami ji because he is a very great devotee of the lord but you don't have the right or you plz dont say that you are frustrated from iskcon, iskcon is also the same society of devotees, you should not feel any frustration towards anyone otherwise god will not accept you because he loves his every devotee too much and if you'll do dwesh or hatred or you are feeling frustrated from a devotee actually you are frustrating from god because there is no difference between the lord and his devotees. Consclusion is that you are feeling more attracted towards swami ji you go ahead with him but love each and every devotee even more than god because he himself says - मोते अधिक संत करी लेखा Know my devotees even higher than me

[@HitPremanandJiMaharaj]

Remember god will not accept you or anyone who has hatred in mind towards anyone because he himself is pervading in his world sitting in everyone's heart, if you are doing dwesh or hatred towards any living entity or you are frustrated towards any living entity you are actually frustrating from god because there is nothing accept god anywhere. He says in bhagvad gita -मत: परतरम नानयति किनचिदस्ती धनंजय: O Arjuna!There is nothing anywhere except me मेरे सिवा किंचिन भी कुछ नहीं है there is no cause except me So plz note my words on your head and contemplate over it and get rid of your frustration by attaching your mind in the divine NAAM(name),ROOP(form),LEELAS(pastimes), DHAM(Abode) of the LORD 🙏🏻 It is very important to remove that frustration or dwesh hatred or lower feeling towards anyone, Very famous Saint PARAM PUJYA GOSWAMI SHRI TULSIDAS JI MAHARAJ says- TULSI MAMTA RAM SO SAMTA SAB SANSAR RAG NA ROSH NA DOSH DUKH DAS BHAYE BHAV PAAR (BHAV- Ocean of life and death- भव) 🙏🏻 So plz follow the path of bhakti do NIRANTAR(CONSTANYLY) NAAM JAP hear SATSANG and take shelter at the LOTUS FEET of the LORD take ASHRYA of the LOTUS FEET of LORD And do the BHAV(भाव) of your ISHT DEV in everyone. Do not do hatred towards anyone and Rag towards anyone. Become ajaatsatru. Only then you will reach god.

[@vedicastroeng]

@@HitPremanandJiMaharaj you are corrext but in the context of Iskcon i must disagree.. they call Lord Shiva and his devotees many nonsesical names and even disregard puranas and scriptures related to shiva in a rude way..

[@HitPremanandJiMaharaj]

@@vedicastroeng Actually a true devotee of Lord krishna will never disregard anything related to Lord Shiva as we all know, Lord Shiva is not different from Krishna, and actually without Shiva's grace one cannot get the bhakti of Lord Krishna. Actually i've seen many devotees of iskcon they do not say something wrong about him. Even they say that with out grace of Shiva, lord Krishna's bhakti is not possible. A true devotee of Lord krishna will definitely know the value of one of the greatest Vaishnav Lord Shiva and believe me if any one of them disrespect lord Shiva that particular person will not be able to pursue in the devotion to lord Krishna. As he himself says in Ramayan- SHIVA DROHI MAM DAS KAHAVA SO NAR MOYE SAPNEU NHI BHAVA (That person who hates or disrespects lord shiva will not get my bhakti even in dream). As your well wisher, i will always say to you that you plz do not develop disrespect for anyone in the world devotee or non devotee ok. If you want to pursue in bhakti you need to stop disrespecting anyone ok. I basically dont want your bhakti to stop by any reason thats why i am saying because bhakti is very previous because it has the capability to bind even God very easily.

[@HitPremanandJiMaharaj]

@@vedicastroeng you know a very famous bhakti saint, Goswami Tulsidas Ji Maharaj says- TULSI MAMTA RAM TE SAMTA SAB SANSAR RAG NA DOSH NA ROSH DUKH DAS BHAYE BHAV PAR - means love God and see god in everyone those devotees who see and know God in everyone(and do not do rag dwesh etc. to anything or anyone)are crossed from the ocean of life and death. And Shri Bhagvan also says in Bhagvad Gita - VASUDEV SARVAMITI SAMAHATMA SU DURLABHA -that devotee is very rare who see God everywhere. So you dont worry you just see your God in everything by this god will be pleased very much because he loves all of us so much.

Please could you give the quote of the scripture where it is said these 5 forms are equal and identical forms of the Supreme Personality of Godhead ?🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

[@raman6270]

When did krishna said lol worship me 🤔🤔. People on their own worshiping his form. Krishna said this body of mine is a clothing I am the shapelees satchit anada i am everything i am the abosolute here krishna was talking about his universal form which includes everything so people should worship his universal form seeing everything as God only. Remember this always God is present in the idol is 100000% correct but that idol is God only is wrong 10000%.
