Hare Krsna!


I once tried to learn about the IRM, but chose to stick with ISKCON in the end, due to some of the confusion about "The Final Order" book and to be more obedient to my guru. My ISKCON guru is HG Sankarshan Das Adhikari. So, I know that I have a highly experienced guru, who has practical experience of over 35 years in preaching Krishna Consciousness.


The IRM is okay, but I don't see eye-to-eye and would rather stick with the "real deal", which is Traditional ISKCON-Hare Krishna, due to its traditional standpoint on all issues related to Krishna Consciousness and the devotee lifestyle with guidance from a living guru.

This is how I feel and to be a kind and merciful devotee, I respect the opinions expressed in the IRM, yet I must remain faithful to my living guru. I need less confusion and to just follow the instructions of my guru by keeping Krishna Consciousness pure and unaffected by the rather confusing doctrines of the IRM.


Also, I celebrate Christmas in a Krishna Conscious way of celebrating this Holiday of git-giving. Bought my family and a few friends some nice gifts, because I see Christmas as a time to learn how to give and the best gift I could give to my friends and family are prasadam foodstuff offered to Krishna.


A good way is by putting my love into making wonderful prasadam gift-goodies for the people I love and value in my life, who may not know Krishna nor Bhakti-Yoga that well as I am taught by Srila Gurdeva. Also, I am planning to keep a Krishna Conscious Diary, which I have decided to title, "The Krishna Diary".


Keeping a diary is a wonderful way in which a group of friends and an experienced professional friend leads our small get-together in a type of "closed membership" journaling group with sessions once a week. Are there any other devotees who keep or plan to keep a diary about their life as a devotee and written letter to Krishna with loving devotions?


Let me know. I think anybody, Traditional ISKCON or even IRM devotees would greatly render devotional serivce to Krishna and for other Vaisnavas to help support a Krishna Conscious Diary Outreach.


These are just a few thoughts and feelings I have as Krishna devotee and student of the Ultimate Self-Realization Course, as presented and taught by my ISKCON guru.
