Their was an interesting point raised at the end of giving a class and opening it up to questions that of listening and being listened.
What happens if this doesn’t happen?
The point from what I understand was that everyone needs to feel that they are being heard and have a voice, problems arise when we silence or sideline a person or group and this increases resentment.
For some the internet becomes the place to have our voice heard, a tweet or Facebook page can quickly go global and it won’t be long before you have a following of like minded individuals; validation of a point of view or feeling.
Indeed we can see the success of campaign’s for change in government policy or government injustice and even micro campaign’s based on organisation or injustice against group’s or individuals.
As some celebrate the way the internet has opened up discussions given a voice to those who previously didn’t have one, others view it with some irritation viewing anything published that they disagree with with some disdain.
Which brings me to a small note and disclaimer:
This firstly is my own personal blog a way of me sharing my thought’s, realisation and frustrations and should be read with this in mind.
Secondly I make every effort to be open and allow for replies and comment’s, this also allows for e-mail response.
Thirdly in some cases I will end or ask what is your view or thought, this reflects that either I’m still formulating ideas or thought’s or interested in how others feel about a situation or posting. If your view is diversely different to mine don’t get hot under the collar let me know (I may have a bit of a bark at times but don’t bite)
Fourthly I do include posting by third parties as part of my blog, most include their names or under the heading postings by other’s; I will pass on any comments to them and post any response
My blog is my voice because like many few ask or speak directly to me and at times this is the only way to be heard,

So she created and even maintained it herself, with the devotees’ blessings and help.

“In this Age of Kali, the holy name of the Lord, the Hare Krishna maha-mantra, is the incarnation of Lord Krishna. Simply by chanting the holy name, one associates with the Lord directly. Anyone who does this is certainly delivered.
CC Adi 17.23 
Deity worship, even in the simplest form, puts Krishna in the center of one’s home and existence; all activities revolve around the Lord by working for Him, cooking for Him, singing for Him, etc. In this way there is a natural, continuous thought which keeps devotees in constant transcendental connection via His devotional service. 
While suffering at the time of death, Ajamila chanted the holy name of the Lord, and although the chanting was directed toward his son, he nevertheless returned home, back to Godhead.
