I was raised to believe in God and the scriptures. But, I have never seriously done any meditation or pujas. Of late, I have been reading some of Jiddu Krishnamurti's works. I desire to pursue the path of liberation. But, the 'concept of bhakti' versus 'the concept of truth' is very confusing to me. I am not sure which the right path is for me and how I should go from here. Please help!


Sri Sri Muralidhara Swamiji:


Once Jiddu Krishnamurtiji was asked by a tradition loving person, why he is chastising tradition and scriptures so much. He immediately said, 'This place is only for those who have lost faith in the scriptures. If you still have faith in them, this is not the right place for you!'


The central theme of Jiddu Krishnamurtiji teaching is that one has observe and be a light unto one's self. So in short, one has to help one's self for finding the truth. He termed Truth as pathless. If you want to pursue a path, then Krishnaji's teachings are not your cup of tea. He has not prescribed any path. Any path supposes a tradition and discipline.


Bhakti is love for the truth. Truth is what that exists here, there everywhere, now and forever. Truth and love can't be different. Love leads to Truth, and when established in Truth, love blossoms.


Doubts cease completely only in that final experience of truth. So, trying to get rid of doubts by intellect is to only multiply them. It is like plucking leaves of a giant tree one by one, by the time a complete cycle gets over, already new leaves have sprouted!


You used to trust our scriptures, now you tend to trust Sri Jiddu Krishnamurti. That is the only difference!


Path of liberation is really simple. Chanting Divine Names incessantly leads us there in due course of time, as pointed out by great Mahatmas.


Please check these: Excerpts from a discourse by our Sri Sri Muralidhara Swamiji


What is spirituality and spiritual path? How can I continuously progress on this path?


Why is life so complicated? Why is there so much confusion in life? Can't it be all simple? - Simplest and the most straightforward path FOR ALL


What is real happiness? True happiness lies within you. By merely removing ignorance this can be realized. The easiest way towards this goal is by chanting the Mahamantra.


The true purpose of our existence is to realize God in ourselves. No other purpose is equal to or more significant than this


To think 'What is the purpose of my Creation' is the very purpose of Lord's Creation


The true purpose of existence can be understood only if one attains a Guru


Chant the Mahamantra Nama kirtan :

Hare Rama Hare Rama Rama Rama Hare Hare
Hare Krishna Hare Krishna Krishna Krishna Hare Hare
