In “Real Knowledge Changed My life,” Visakha Devi Dasi recalls how, unlike anything she had heard before, what she learned in her early encounters with Prabhupada’s teachings and his disciples clarified everything. Manu Dasa’s story, related in “Recovering from Childhood,” reveals his attraction to the application of the philosophy of Krishna consciousness, witnessed during his visits to the first london Hare Krishna temple.
Prabhupada’s lecture in this issue conveys knowledge every human being should aspire for: how to become completely free from suffering. the practices of Krishna consciousness can deliver that kind of freedom. It takes time, however, so as arcana siddhi Devi Dasi explains in “When Bad Is good,” devotees live in the knowledge that all reversals are sent by Krishna, who knows exactly what we need to progress along the path back to Him and our eternal home.
