What is Krishna consciousness.

Krishna consciousness means to understand  how Krishna is situated in all things and is within the hearts of all conscious living beings . Ultimately, directly or indirectly, one can consider that ” Everything is happening by the supreme desire of Krishna this consciousness is Krishna consciousness ” those are the words of Srila AC Bhavtivedanta Swami Prabhupada . We should know of God and how great he is  and learn of his energies. We should know of the superior,  marginal, and inferia energies of Divinity if we want to be  situated  properly.  From knowledge comes  yhe beginning of renunciation. Lord Krishna advises us in His Bhagavad Gita to utalise karma yoga,  niskarma karma yoga,  jnana yoga , astanga yoga ,and their perfections come when Bhakti or devotion is added that is directed exclusively to Krishnawhich will culminate in Pure Bhaki yoga .

The broad applications  of Dharma sastra , Karma satra , Jnana sastra, and  Bhaki Sastra should be understood as peripheral and cor practices taken up at different times by different candidates who want to attain Krishna consciousness. Sri Caitanya Mahāprabhu has made the whole process simple by immediately giving access to the intimate limbs of Bhakti by the processes of association with devotees,  chanting the Holy names , study of the Vedas through the Srimad Bhagavatam,  worship of Deities and also living in Vrndavana physically or within the mind .

The acceptances of all of the teachings of the Gaudia Vaisnava sampradaya are absolutely essential. In the  gradual progression order from Sadhana to Raganuga . We can calculate that there is Black , white, and  many shades of grey in the transformations of consciousness, bringing us to a pure state of loving services. This process is depicted by Srila Rupa Goswami , which is practically by Srila Ragganatha das Goswami and explained  thoroughly by Srila Jiva Goswami . These  teachings have been brought to light in modern times by Srila Bhaktivinod Thakur,  and further  practicality demonstrated by Srila Bhaktisiddanta Sarasvati Goswami, those that Srila AC Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada has connected everyone to , along with some of his God brothers .

We must understand the fullness  of our historical sampradaya and the traditions they represent as shaped by Sri Caitanya Mahāprabhu.

The essence of Krishna consciousness , Srila Bhaktisiddanta Sarasvati Goswami Maharaja once said to one of  his leading disciples , and that he was  really trying to give , i.e. the messages his father, Srila Bhaktivinod Thakur had relished , had  been understood by Srila Bhaktisiddanta Sarasvati leading disciples . In that way, Srila Bhaktisiddanta Sarasvati Goswami was confident the messages are being carried on .
