Benefits of Krishna consciousness

Freedom from the reactions of sin Like the seeds that are fried in a pan loose their potency to sprout, the harmful karmic reactions loose their power to act by the power of the holy names of Krishna First, the holy name eradicates the results of sins committed both in the present and in prior lifetimes. According to the law of karma, a human being is responsible for the sinful acts he performs and must suffer for them (“As ye sow, so shall ye reap”). Deeply enmeshed in a complex web of material actions and their reactions, one must suffer the duality of pleasure and pain, lifetime after lifetime. The holy name, however, eradicates all reactions to past sins, both those manifesting themselves at present and those destined to manifest themselves in the future.

Relief from unwanted drives & habits In our present condition we are slaves to any whimsical thoughts, desires & appetites the mind may generate. We think something and immediately we want to do it. Hare Krishna mantra is a transcendental sound vibration with potency to liberate the mind from material conditioning. How can one escape the will to sin? By escaping the illusion that supports it—the illusion that the material body is the self. In our present condition, we are slaves to any whimsical thoughts and desires.

Then we will reach Krishna and see him eye to eye one day
