Bh. Susan took Hari-nama-diksa from Prahladananda Swami this morning. She is now Sarva-mangala Dasi. Devamrta Prabhu attended the yajna to complete his Mantra-diksa taken from Bhakti-tirtha Swami last year. More shots here.

Technology--Helpful or Hurtful? The verdict?

All depends on our consciousness. The ancient spiritual texts of India tell us that a person’s internal state translates into external action. How someone uses things, for better or worse, is the outer manifestation of a particular inner reality. For example, according to the type of consciousness, a surgeon’s knife in someone’s hand can either heal a man or murder him. In this way, to understand humanity’s relationship with technology, we should ask: “What is the quality of consciousness with which we use technology?” Our criterion for judgement is the level of consciousness, rather than the technology in and of itself.
