  3. Very true! We need to be determined to meditate on the Lord. Actually we need to be determined to achieve anything in life.

  4. Determination means that one should not be agitated or frustrated in some attempt. With determination we must focus our minds on the Lord,even though the mind is fickle.
    Thanks again Swami

  5. This message is worth posting on my wall. Each time my meditation becomes mechanical, this will help me to re-declare my determination….!

  6. Thank you Radhanath Swami for this important instruction to meditate on the Lord, not casually, but with determination.

  12. determination is required for spirtual life, thank you maharaj for this quote.

  13. Very truly said by Radhanath Swami. Determination is one quality which differs humans from animals. And this quality helps us focus on our spiritual goal, i.e., the Supreme Lord.

  16. As I experienced, it becomes difficult to be determine for anything when I am alone. The same determination and enthusiasm is quite easy when I am with such determined and enthusiastic persons..

  17. Even while performing any action in today’s world, we have to have determination to succeed. Radhanath Swami always emphasizes on these principles – enthusiasm, determination and patients

    1. Wow! Rahul, thats really making sense to me. For me it takes lot of practice and hard work on personal level to develop these principles….thanks for your views

  18. The devotional service unto lotus feet of supreme lord Krishna is one of the best way of mediation. The devotional services always rendered in Krishna consciousness for pleasure of Lord and to maintain consistency , determination is basic thing.

  19. Indeed, without determination it is so hard to focus. Thanks for reminding us Maharaj!

  20. Radhanath Swami here specifically calls for focusing our mind on Supreme Lord, Krishna and not any others or any things. And this surely require determination due to many distractions in this world.

  22. In one class maharaj said ” real austerity means to absorb our concoiusness in Krishna”. Hare Krishna.

  23. We can learn about determination from the life of HH Radhanath Swami, who battled many adverse situations on his journey to India & at times even risked his life in pursuit of spirituality.

    1. So true. His determination is certainly something to be noticed and followed.

  25. So true… determination is needed to pursue anything in life and much needed for meditation as well.

  26. Very true! But for us it’s difficult to focus as we keep getting all sorts of thoughts when we try to meditate. But as Radhanath Swami says, we must have determination to concentrate our thoughts on the Lord.

    1. Indeed, to practice determination to concentrate certainly works. Thanks for the useful comment.

  28. In life nothing moves without Determination, its the basic principle of our existence. What to speak in case of spirituality, which transcends this world, which very few people choose to thread….Thanks for sharing this beautiful thought…

    1. Very well said Anthony, determination is needed to pursue anything in life and much needed for meditation as well.
