![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)
