For me, prayer or singing kirtan is the time where I share my burdens so my heart doesn't die.

This me.
I don't get it right every day. All I can do is get up, dust off, and try and be better the next time circumstances arise.

And nowadays, that's a daunting challenge!

Jai Sri Ram!! 🙏 🕉️

#sanatanadharma #westernhindu #spirituality #religion

Sri Krishna represents the pure Self, the center of Consciousness, the way to the Divine, Narayana.

“Govinda” refers to Krishna as the loving protector of humanity.

“Hare” indicates the removal of suffering;

“Murare” denotes Krishna as the destroyer of demons within;

“He Natha” means “O Master (Lord)”; and “Vasudeva” is the Supreme Being who permeates all.
