Śraddhā. Beyond Faith and Blind Trust

In this series "Krsna Consciousness Basics" we explore different concepts of K???a Consciousness, the practice of Bhakti-Yoga. For the last decade I have traveled around the world to search out the truth and embraced many different paths of wisdom. Coming to the K???a Bhakti-Yoga tradition, especially the Gaudiya Vaisnavas from India I found shelter and made friends with the Hare K???a lifestyle and movement. Yoga means "Union" or "to link up", this refers to the Absolute Truth which comes in a personal and impersonal form.
This wisdom of Yoga is manifested in the Vedas, the Word of God. The Vedas discuss Polymorphic Bi-Monotheism, a unique Supreme God who is apparent in Radha-K???a, the divine couple, manifesting in many forms. Studying this tradition is fun and practical. It turned my personal life around and became my life and soul. For example, learning Sanskrit, the Mother of all Languages is great joy. Sraddha is a Sanskrit term and refers to the root of this tree of K???a consciousness.
How can one believe in such a wonderful theology? Sraddha is like a seed that was planted by a little contact with the Vedas, Yoga or the devotees of K???a. Just by this mercy faith is instilled and can grow into a spiritual practice. This book is for everyone interested in Meditation, faith, belief, transcendence & practical spiritual knowledge. Sraddha or faith is one step on a 9-step ladder to Love of God which will be discussed accordingly.
