Devotee: Very often we use the word “spiritual power”. How could youexplain this?

Prabhu: Spiritual power is sometime Guru blessing, sometime Ishta’s

power. It is very normal that when you properly chant your mantras; Sri

Guru mantra, Gopal mantra; some power will come to you. It is very

normal, it does’nt mean you are siddha mahatma; it is a very normal

thing. But only if you properly chant because mantras are very powerful. The power which you get after chanting mantras, is the spiritual power. JAI NITAI !!!

Devotee: What are the qualities required to seek blessings from SriGurudev in order to properly chant and to attain Prema?

Prabhu: In Viswanath Chakraboty’s gurv-astaka, one verse is there:

Yasya prasādād bhagavat-prasādo

Yasyāprasādān na gatiḥ kuto 'pi

Dhyāyan stuvaṁs tasya yaśas tri-sandhyaṁ

Vande guroḥ śrī-caraṇāravindam

When your Guru will be pleased by you, Guru will not say anything. When Gurudev look at you with a smiling face then that will be the

blessings of Gurudev that means Guru is happy with you. And when

Guru is pleased that means Krishna is pleased. So make your mind

attached with Sri Gurudev. … dhyāyan means meditation, stuvaṁs means praising, tri-sandhyaṁ

means starting the day with the meditation, just think about the face of

Gurudev; and end your day meditating his face. Thats enough when you

start and end your day with the meditation of Sri Gurudev. Its enough.

Chanting Krishna

Chanting Krishna naam once,  takes away all the inauspiciousness .... also it is suggested by Chaitanya Mahaprabhu and Nityananda prabhu also instructed us to chant Krishna naam in form of Hare Krishna Mahamantra and if you chant Radha naam you get a thousand times benefit of chanting Krishna naam.
