The Method

The Method (PDF): is a descrip­tion of the process Lalita Prasad Thakur taught me for becom­ing a girl­friend of Radha in my per­fect spir­i­tual body. I explain it in such a way that you can use it to develop your own iden­tity in the ide­al­ized real­ity of Braj. It is another draft chap­ter from my new book, Uni­ver­sal­ist Radha-Krishnaism: A Spir­i­tu­al­ity of Nat­ural Devo­tion. Please let me know if any­thing is unclear, could be improved, or that you really like and want more of.

  1. Uni­ver­sal­ist Radha-Krishnaism is like a flower unfold­ing nat­u­rally, and it is best not to force it. I do not rec­om­mend becom­ing a recluse, chant­ing sixty-four rounds a day and med­i­tat­ing on the pas­times day and night unless we know we are near death. Oth­er­wise, that’s why we have a life­time to grow and develop a vision of what we want our next life to be, but while here, our needs are best served by being present in the now and atten­tive to the peo­ple and sit­u­a­tions at hand. This is a life embrac­ing phi­los­o­phy which encour­ages par­tic­i­pa­tion in soci­ety and cul­ture at all levels.

    Uni­ver­sal­ist Radha-Krishnaism employs a Taoist approach to Radha-Krishna devotion–natural grad­ual unfold­ing, non-striving, flow­ing along the mid­dle way, being aware of God-dess’ pres­ence in and as all cre­ation. That is why when you read all the chap­ters of my next book that deal with this method, it is called “The Way of Nat­ural Devotion.”

    It can only be under­stood in con­junc­tion with my first book, _Universalist Radha-Krishnaism: A Spir­i­tu­al­ity of Lib­erty, Truth, and Love._ It should not be con­fused with what var­i­ous cults and sects teach. Uni­ver­sal­ist Radha-Krishnaism is a unique expe­ri­ence for each of us as we find our way to where we’re going.
