![WHAT IS THE HARE KRISHNA BRANCH OF BUDDHISM ALL ABOUT? [4 of 4] Unfortunately, Buddhism’s Hare Krishna branch, with its Hindu belief that followers must go through a guru to reach their millions of gods (and that the guru is a god), are setting people up to accept a future leader of the one world religion: the False Prophet. This evil religious leader (teacher, or guru) will recommend that everyone follow and eventually worship the Antichrist. During the soon-arriving Seven-Year Tribulation that will involve the wrath of God being poured out against a sinful, rebellious world, the Antichrist (“The Christ,” in New Age lingo) will go into what will be the recently rebuilt Jewish temple, and declare himself to be God. Again, prior to all this, the guru-like False Prophet—a religious leader
that will have gotten the world’s unbiblical faiths to band together—
will lead the masses straight into the hands of the Antichrist. A strong candidate to have their followers join in, doing as they are told, is ISKCON (The International Society for Krishna Consciousness), a Hare Krishna organization founded in 1966 by a guru in New York City. ISKCON puts its members into a communal setting, where intricate rules have been established so that all their follower’s discussions and the rest of their day-to-day lives are deliberately centered around Krishna—no other thoughts are permitted. So, they’ve created communes that are mental prisons, not allowing residents to think outside the box. They are told they cannot do anything correctly when it is done outside
the Krishna religion. They get sucked in, and are then isolated
from outside influences. It’s exactly what cults do. | image tagged in krishna,buddism,new age,hindu,antichrist,bible | made w/ Imgflip meme maker](http://i.imgflip.com/5ylhpd.jpg)
![WHAT IS THE HARE KRISHNA BRANCH OF BUDDHISM ALL ABOUT? [3 of 4] Becoming a member of Buddhism’s Hare Krishna movement involves choosing a guru (teacher) and becoming his disciple. In fact, they believe that is mandatory, because not having a proper Hare Krishna guru supposedly makes it impossible to cultivate “Krishna consciousness.” Contrary to that practice, the Bible does not have us Christians
go through a teacher, pastor, priest, or guru to access God. Those attending Sunrise Bible Church here in Las Vegas do not have to go through to me, the pastor, to get to God. Because of what Jesus did for us, we can approach God directly on His throne, whether we are the greatest of Bible scholars, or even a new Christian who just heard and accepted the gospel. And the doctrine for Krishna followers gets even worse:
Besides believing that adherents must go through a guru to reach their
millions of gods, they also teach that the guru is a god. | image tagged in krishna,buddhism,god,bible,new age,hindu | made w/ Imgflip meme maker](http://i.imgflip.com/5ylh06.jpg)
![WHAT IS THE HARE KRISHNA BRANCH OF BUDDHISM ALL ABOUT? [2 of 4] The Krishna movement began as a reactionary response to dispassionate Buddhist Hinduism. Krishna followers participate in lavish public displays of their adoration and worship for Hindu deities. Similarly, the charismatic influence may have sprung up in the Christian Church because so many services have become somewhat boring and lifeless, often from hiring shepherds who don’t even believe what they're teaching. But our salvation through Christ is the most exciting development that has ever happened to mankind. God forgave all of our sins, so we are no longer headed for hell; instead, we get to spend eternity with God in heaven, ruling and reigning with Jesus, exploring the universe,
and forever learning more and more about the mind of God. I'm all for that! But there is so much deadness in a huge number of Christian Churches today because we’re not spending daily time in the Bible, which is how Christians become passionate for God's truth. This has caused people to get sucked into hyper-charismatic churches, where they are often led to connect with spirits that are not from God. While I agree that many Christian Churches today are fairly lifeless, those are not accurate representations of true biblical Christianity—they’re normally not very biblical. Either way though, two wrongs don't make a right, so jumping into
other harmful, unbiblical practices is not the answer. | image tagged in krishna,buddhism,hindu,god,bible,charismatic | made w/ Imgflip meme maker](http://i.imgflip.com/5ylgqq.jpg)
![WHAT IS THE HARE KRISHNA BRANCH OF BUDDHISM ALL ABOUT? [1 of 4] Hare Krishna is the extreme-charismatic subsect of Hinduism’s Buddhist branch, so it is all about the experience, which often includes physical actions like dancing and chanting. Followers do these things to get themselves into an altered state of consciousness, which helps them (and those of many world faiths) to connect with spirits—the same old lying demons. A similar sort of charismatic element exists within Islam, through the relatively small branch of Sufi Muslims. Sufi’s are also called “whirling dervishes,” because they spin around in skirts that rise up to form a circle around a person who can turn fast enough. That spinning is their form of
charismatic worship that they incorporate into their Islamic beliefs. And it’s all part of the same sorts of practices from Buddhism and Hinduism that are meant to get followers into an altered state of consciousness, an emptying of the mind that more easily allows visions and the ability to connect with what the Bible calls “familiar spirits.” Again, those spirits are deceiving, murderous demons—like their father, the devil. There are only a couple variations from Buddhist Hinduism for those involved with the Hare Krishna religion. Like Hinduism, Hare Krishna obviously allows most any type of worship and deity, because they too have over 330 million gods. However, Hare Krishna’s differ in the practice of their religion, publicly displaying their emotional devotion, while Hindus
are more prone to dispassionate expressions, just solitarily
sitting in some specific position while they meditate to alter
their consciousness and connect with demonic spirits. | image tagged in krishna,buddhism,hindu,god,sufi,charismatic | made w/ Imgflip meme maker](http://i.imgflip.com/5ylgar.jpg)
