Divine Abode

Krishna consciousness is not an artificial imposition on the mind; it is the original energy of the living entity. When we hear the transcendental vibration, this consciousness is revived.

What is Krishna Consciousness?

Full Knowledge

It means to work in full knowledge of one’s relationship with the Supreme Absolute.

Original Position

A pure soul is the eternal servant of God. We are meant to serve Him in a loving relationship.

Revival

It is the process of reforming our rebellious nature and re-establishing our lost relationship.

The Analogy of Reformation

The Rebellion

When we refuse to serve the Supreme Lord and want to imitate Him, we are put into this material world.

The Prison

Just like a citizen who breaks state laws is put into prison, the material world acts as a reform center.

The Reformation

Krishna consciousness is the process of correction to make us eligible to return to the spiritual world.

Religion without philosophy is sentiment, and philosophy without religion is mental speculation.

Srila Prabhupada
