To overcome this delusion, we require Lord Krishna’s help. In “Conviction,” Ravindra Svarupa Dasa contends that the soul’s connection with the Supersoul, a form of Krishna within everyone’s heart, is what inspires faith in the reality of God and spiritual existence.
Spiritual conviction is also nurtured by contact with God’s pure devotees and their instructions. In the Vaishnava tradition, to which the Hare Krishna movement belongs, a person serious about spiritual progress receives initiation (diksa) from a guru, accepts the guru’s discipline, and learns spiritual truth from him.
“In the Lap of Mother Nature” shows how a grand-disciple of Srila Prabhupada looked at nature in the light of Prabhupada’s instructions and gained increased conviction about the truth of Krishna consciousness.
