This Janamastami a thought came to my mind that
Temple is Embassy of the Spiritual World Like when i walked in the US embassy/consulate in India ,The interior ,procedures ,posters ,voice ,attitude,peoples, wear ,food,music everything looked like we are in US . Even the TV was showing US news & US newspapers were avaliable
It just felt like entering US
Similarly it was checked/verified in the consulate whether the person is fit , qualified to enter USA.
A Temple is also an embassy of the spiritual world where the interior,posters displays Krishnas eternal pastimes,
People wear clothes like that in the Spiritual World ,
Songs from spiritual world are always sung like hare krishna maha mantra
news from the spiritual world are discussed like Srimad bhagavatam
food is prasadam as in the spiritual world
spiritual music is going on
Everything is like the Spiritual World
It is this place where a persons qualification to enter the spiritual World is verified
by diety worship it is determined .............can he worship Krishna & Radharani in the spiritual world??
by cooking , chanting ,serving devotees his attitude is seen whether been compatible to the spiritual world
Is he interested in the news of the spiritual world ?? how much eager he is to enter the spiritual world ?
What is his background ? which sampradaya does he belong to?? is he properly trained ??
or else he may be simply a disturbance in the spiritual world
Then & then only can he enter the spiritual world.!!
So i felt that if one wants to enter the spiritual world
he has to show his eagerness
--by following the procedures,process,regulative principles of devotional life
-- by eager to hear & chant the glories to the Lord
-- by doing graceful & careful diety worship
-- eager to hear Srimad Bhagavatam
-- Serving & associating with devotees
-- chanting the holy name of Lord
-- visiting the holy places
All these activities makes one qualify to
" Never forget Krishna & always remember Krishna"
& enter the spiritual world
Thus i felt one shud not complain of the process also as this is voluntary
He want to go to the spiritual world so we have to accept the process
Yes we may have difficulties but prayer is the way to express this difficulty.
