GOING BACK TO KRISHNA AT THE END OF THIS BIRTH ITSELF! SIMPLE TIPS!

Until we take repeated births in these material worlds, we can not escape from the four pains of life - Birth, Disease, Old age and Death.

Therefore, we have to aim for a life where we can live and serve the Lord eternally.  So, we have to go back to Goloka Vrindavan, the kingdom of Krishna.

How?  Let us see the basic requirements!

How to go back to Krishna? 

(i) First we should consider ourselves an insignificant person in the presence of Krishna!

(ii) We should catch the hands of a BONAFIDE and QUALIFIED Spiritual Master/ Guru. If we follow the instructions of guru, he will guide us in going back to Krishna.

(iii) Chant Krishna's Holy Name all the time; Think of Krishna even while working.  Do services to Lord according to your nature; Gift or Distribute Bhagavad Gita and other literature related to Krishna to people and introduce Krishna to them!

(iii) Do everything for Krishna, & avoid things/ activities that can't be dedicated/ offered to Krishna! 

(iv) Do not eat karmic foods.  Always prepare food for Krishna, offer to Him and then honour the same as His prasadam. There is no difference between Krishna and His prasadam.

(v) Be satisfied with whatever we have been given by Krishna.  Believe, Krishna does everything in our life for certain purposes. 

(vi) In your daily prayers, beg to Krishna to purify you to get qualified to come to Him at the end of this birth itself!

(vii) Krishna is very much pleased with Nishkam Bakthi, ie, Bakthi without expecting anything from Krishna except opportunity to serve Him.

(viii) See all Living & Non living as the forms of Krishna!  Respect all the living beings and creations.  Always be humble in thoughts, words and actions and respect all.

(ix) Have the association of devotees/ Vaishnavas as much as possible!

(x) Lead a disciplined life by following four regulative principles -  No meat eating, No gambling, No Intoxication and No Illicit sex.

(xi) Develop detachment with the material aspects we have in this world and develop Pure devotion and Prema on Krishna.

(xii) Think Krishna at the time of death if you like to go back to Krishna after this life. It is not easy to think of Krishna during painful death if you have material desires and attachments.  Only if you follow all the above eleven tips and also remain always in the thoughts of Krishna throughout your life from today, you can think of Lord at the time of death.  If we involve in all the sense related pleasures throughout our life and wish to think of Krishna at the last moment, how is it possible?  Only the things with which we have been attached much will come to our mind during last moments.

So, attach only with Krishna and lead your day to day life just as a duty without material attachments.  Thus, you can think of Lord at the time of death.

Krishna assures in Bhagavad Gita that those who leaves their bodies thinking of Him will definitely come to Him.

So, do not have any doubt in this!  Just follow all the above tips and achieve your goal of going back to Lord.
