Five principles that awaken one’s love for Krsna
Source: CC Madhya 22.128
The five potent ways that awaken one’s dormant love for Krsna, as given by Caitanya mahaprabhu are:
- Association of devotees
- Chanting the holy name of the Lord
- Hearing Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam
- Residing at Mathurā
- Worshiping the Deity with faith and veneration.
‘The power of these five principles is very wonderful and difficult to understand. Even without faith in them, a person who is offenseless can awaken his dormant love of Kṛṣṇa simply by being a little connected with them.’ (CC Madhya 22.133)
