  1. The Fairy Godmother ------------------- India is often called the mother of folklore since it was here that the earliest folk stories were recorded. Among them is the JATAKA tales, part of the three great divisions of the Buddhist scriptures written on the 3rd century B.C. Another important folklore of India is the Fables of Bidpai, stories that are 2000 years old, also known as the Hitopodesa, meaning, " whole- some instructions, " described by Vishnov Sarma, who possessed the ma- nuscripts long preserved with secre- cy by the monarchs of India, until a Persian king(600A.D.) sent a lear- ned physician to obtain by hook or by crook the manuscripts. By bribing a Hindu scholar to steal the book, the King of Persia and his transla- tors were able to translate it into their own language, attributing them to a wiseman named Bidpai, as its author rather than to Vishnov Sarma. ( perhaps the first recorded case of plagiarism of its kind) The Source of the Fables ------------------------ Modern scholars therefore were able to trace the source of the Fables of Bidpai to an even earlier book, The PANCHANTANTRA, perhaps authored by Srila Narada Muni, which Hindu children love so much. Named as the Five Books, these stories were: The Brahmin, The Thief and the Ghost, How Supersmart Ate The Elephant, and The Unforgiving Monkey. Other earlier works was The Seven Masters, some times called the Parables of Sandabar, a book that is supposed to have been written by Sandabar himself, a philo- sopher who live 100 years before Christ. Sandabar`s folktales reflec- ted the unaccountable transition of folklores from one country to another since his stories are similar to The Arabian Nights, while others plainly form the origin of many Italian and French tales. The Collection of Indian Folklores -- It was on 1865 when Miss Mary Frere, one of the best collectors of Indian folk stories, who lived in Southern India when her father was governor of the Bombay Presidency, was inspi- red after Miss Frere heard these stories from her native-ayah or nurse about the tales of the Deccan, that peninsula of Hindustan south of the Vindhya Mountains. It therefore en- abled her to publish these works under the title, Old Deccan Days, a book that includes the popular Valiant Chattee-maker, a fairytale noted for its humor. Another important collection of In- dian folklore was made under Tal Ba- hari Day, who on 1883, took down the stories directly from Old Brahman and Bengali women, a book called Folk Tales of Bengal. What These Tales Convey ------------------------ What these Indian fairy tales wish to convey is that their plots may have its origin taken from the transcen- dental pastimes of Lord Krishna which took place in the enchanted world of Krishnaloka, a magical kingdom located sometimes under the earth, sometimes below the water, sometimes on the sum- mit of a mountain, or on a moonlit glen, inconceivable worlds that always surpasses beauty, where honesty and purity of heart are rewarded and evil is punished. In these tales, the youn- gest son is always gentler, smarter, and in the end luckier than his two el- der brothers. Or in another fairytale, where the youngest daughter is mistrea- ted and the most beautiful, while the elder sisters are given the special treatment( An example is Cinderella); animals talk and inanimate objects ma- gically transformed. Lord Krishna`s Enchanted Stories -------------------------------- Stories therefore that took place in fairyland(Krishnaloka) have inspired the simple folks of India and else- where, since they have created out of that subconscious desire to associate with the Supreme Lord and His romantic pastimes with the damsels of Vraja or with the cowherd boys led by Lord Bala- deva; of some peasant longing to be a king, like Maharaja Yudhisthira; or a mistreated damsel in distress who was saved by Lord Krishna from the tyrany of Kamsa`s followers. Only Fools Rush In ------------------- In other words, no known writer of fairy tales, after 4,000 years, have dared to change the above-given situa- tions. No matter how other nations give it birth in ways these stories can be receptive to its people in some particular place and time, still fairy land(Krishnaloka) exists perpetually in order to satisfy the interests and unspoken language of those who consi- der themselves to be young-at-heart and those who hopelessly feel they are eternally a child even if they are ex- ternally old. To be a child again therefore makes one eligible to enter the kingdom of God, Krishnaloka. The Supreme Lord Hari is never a pla- yer in stock market shares, or being bullish about profit taking, or the investment one is going to make on a certain portfolio. The Vrndavan Lord is always eternally a Boy even if He is already 125 years old. He trans- forms only into an administrator of a firm or become Radha`s beloved if there`s nobody around to replace Him. Otherwise, you`ll always find Lord Govinda playing with His flute as His girlfriends watch Him play beautiful music with His friends, Parvata Muni and Srila Narada in one of those en- chanted evenings in Fairyland(Krishna- loka).
  2. I guess you don`t know the answer, hence, I get to keep the prize, as we have agreed. The Answer: ----------- It was in 321 A.D. when Emperor Constantine issued an edict intro- ducing the seven-day week in the calendar, doing away once and for all with the system of calends, ides and nones, by establishing Sun- day as the first day of the week and set it aside as the Christian day of worship. In other words, Sunday, is the first day of the week that begins after Govinda sounds off His flute as They, Krishna and Balarama, together with Their boy friends and girl friends start to herd the surabhi cows in Go- loka Vrndavan as they head for the verdant pastures of Krishnaloka, an enchanted forest where Krishna and Balarama conduct their pastimes with the cowherd boys and girls. Such a- tivities are on-going eternally which are inversely reflected here on pla- net Earth because of GRAVITY. The day therefore begins with Govinda and ends when the Lord heads for Home. -----
  3. If you can answer me this question, I will give a prize. But if you can`t then you need to study more.
  4. maitreya, oh maitreya... maitreya muni whom i believed to be christ himself after the lord descended to heaven on the day after his resur- rection from the dead. christ who ascended to heaven found himself in- side a buddhist temple in kashmir, india. there he meditated on the form of lord vishnu and went home back to godhead af- ter receiving his spiri- tual body, sarupya mukti, which makes him eligible to enter the kingdom of god, krishnaloka. all glories to maitreya!

  6. Otherwise known as Kalpataru, the Lord manifested before Dhruva Maharaj after searching for something the latter lost. Dhruva actually was looking for a broken colored glass and because he couldn`t find it, he started to close the holes in his body while standing with just one leg. Dhruva Maharaj is a pure-devotee of Lord Krishna and was very up- set not to find what he was searching for. Thus, he tried to commit suicide by closing all the holes in his body until it would be impossible to breath. But what Dhruva was doing have created in the upper planetary systems faults that made the heavens rumble as if it was about to experience an earthquake of great magnitude. Thus not only the upper planetary systems about to be destroyed but also the mid- dle and lower planetary systems. Because of these series of ev- ents, the demigods headed by Lord Brahma paid a visit to the Sup- reme Personality of Godhead, Hari and begged the Lord to pacify Dhruva Maharaj and bestow him whatever His pure-devotee was han- kering for. In that instant, Lord Keshava ma- nifested before Dhruva as Sri Kal- pataru in the middle of a lake. When Dhruva Maharaj saw the Lord, he was immediately relieved to find what he was actually looking for: seeing Lord Krishna in His plenary form as Lord Keshava car- rying a Mace, Concshell, Disc, and a Lotus flower. After this great event of a pure devotee`s life, Dhruva Maharaj did not ask from the Lord anything.He was completely satisfied just be- ing able to see the Lord face to face. However, Dhruva Maharaj was awarded the position as the ruler of the planet, Polestar, where it serves as the hub from which all the other stars and planets revolve. That planet, Polestar, will be our destination before we could reach Krishnaloka. We must remember that the universe iscovered by different layers, each being made up of elements different from the other. To get to Krishnaloka, we have to pierce the universe, just like puncturing a hole of a theater`s screen in order to know what`s be- hind: actors and actresses chang- ing costumes and re-arranging some of their props. Space rocket, USS Urukrama, like a very sharp needle, shall do it for us; tear the universal curtain that is the sky, and our super computer navigator, Keshava 7130 shall be our GUIDE. The target: Krishnaloka ------------------------
  7. my dear peter, well, your guess is as good as mine. see you at the launching! yours truly, captain nemo
  8. We will be naming our spaceship in going to Krishnaloka as the USS Uru- krama, the name which described our Lord Vamanadeva, who took only three steps to cover the whole universe, starting from Patalaloka to Brahma- loka after asking from Bali Maharaj, the grandson of Prahlada Maharaj, if He could own a piece of land whose domain is owned by the king of the demons, Bali Maharaj. How it was possible, we will be nar- rating it to you, guys and girls,la- ter once we have come up with a blue print of its structure and design that is tailor-made for our nuclear spaceship, USS Urukrama.

  9. First of all I would dedicate this subject to Lord Chaitanya Mahaprab- hu, who is the source of my wisdom. Like Ramananda Raya, I can only write and post messages to you from what the Lord wants me to do: To illuminate everyone on the science of Krishna consciousness as far as what my mind can do. If this were a class, I would like therefore the students to behave and listen well and not try to make a mockery out of this sensitive matter. Try to imagine yourself being beside a nuclear bomb or reactor. Would you shout and laugh, while the machine is running at speeds equal to or fas- ter than LIGHT? That any noise and jarring may trigger the machine to detonate and explode? You don`t really need to say a word af- ter you have read its notes because what you will contribute may only spoil the broth. The people I want to post on this page are those with a degree on philosophy, medicine, astronomy, mathematics, etc. Because what we will be doing here from now on is to construct a nuclear reactor. Yes, inside this page. Once we do that, we can power this web site for, like a spaceship, home, Back to Krishnaloka. OMMMMMMHHHH............
  10. SRI NRSIMHADEVA IS NOT AFRAID OF ANYONE EVEN IF HIS ENEMY IS A MAN HALF-WOMAN( GAY ). -----------------------------
  11. If an Indian sage really discovered atomic energy, then maybe John Dal- ton was the incarnation of that great sage. But we must give John the recog- nition he deserved for his experiments that confirmed the existence of what we know today as atomic energy. We should not also take away from the great sage, Chaitanya, for revealing to us its secrets. In other words, what comes first is the idea then af- terwards, the realization. Its like the Sri Krishna Chaitanya Sankirtana movement would have not been possible today, if it were not for the contributions of Sanatana Gos- wami and Rufa Goswami, the six Gos- wamis of Vrajabhumi, Srila Nityananda, and the rest of the troop. We must not therefore deride the peo- ple who contributed to this ancient science in making our planet Earth a better place to live, minus the pol- lution. Krishna consciouness is transcendental and those who practice the art may not have to come from India to earn a mas- teral degree from IT. Just because John is an English scien- tist, does it mean he did not study during his lifetime Krishna conscious- ness? Although it was not recorded that he did, his personal relationship with God and how he was able to deal with IT is not anymore our concern. Am I being understood?
  12. At the age of 12 John Dalton(1766-1844) became a school teacher-for a salary of 58 shillings a week. Some of his pu- pils were very much older than he. It was not so much love of teaching as po- verty that made him a school teacher, but being the sixth child of a poor En- glish Quaker who made little by his work as a weaver. Teaching boys and girls and talking through one`s self however has its disadvantages, when one of his pupils challenged him to a fight, but decided not to do so by locking up the boy in his room. No one was hurt, but the boy`s classmates broke the win- dows to show Dalton what they thought of him. Dalton`s chief pleasure in his early years was the study of weather and the atmosphere. Starting when he was 21, he kept a diary for 57 years in which he recorded more than 200,000 meteorological observations. These facinated him which made him ques- tion what was it? A chemical compund? Is it a mixture of gasses, like nitrogen, oxygen, carbon dioxide and water vapor? This being true, Dalton believed the be- havior of gasses might be explained as composed of tiny particles. In other words of ATOMS. These changes which these substances went through from solid to li- quid to gas and back again could be ex- plained as a re-arrangement of ATOMS of each element. In 1808, Dalton published his famous ATO- MIC Theory. It hel that all matter is composed of tiny ATOMS, and that all AT- OMS of a particular element(Oxygen, for example) are similar and of the same weight. The atoms of gold and lead are comparatively heavy, but those hydrogen and helium are very light. Dalton never married. He was so color- blind that when he was dressed in his role of a Doctor of Laws, he did not know that he was breaking one of the rules of the QUAKERS( It was forbidden to wear red). So, he went cheerfully up to be intro- duced to the King, as he confessed that red exactly looked the same to him as green. Inspite of worldwide fame, John Dalton, remained poor, earning his living by teaching. When a French scientist came to Manchester, England to pay respects, he expected to find Dalton installed in a great university. Instead after a long search., he found the English scholar teaching a small boy(Sri Govinda) in A- rithmetic. Source: The Book of Knowledge
  13. When Hiranyakasipu was about to slay Prahlada Maharaja with his sword, in that instant, Nrsimha, appeared before Hiranyakasipu, and took all the latter`s guts with the Former`s sharp nails. Hiranyakasipu was considered the king of the demons, whose son, Prahlada Maharaja, was under the demons care. They taught Prahlad all they knew about demonship but Prahlad refused to learn it because he was a devotee of the Lord. Prahlad took instructions from Srila Narada himself, and never did Prahlad obeyed the in- structions of his demonic-father, Hiranyakasipu. Because the latter couldn`t anymore take Prahlada`s disobedience, Hiranyakasipu de- cided to kill Prahlad using his sword. Hiranyakasipu believed nobody could slay him,no matter what kind of weapon used against him after he obtained some favor from Lord Nataraja. Thus, he became so powerful that other demons as po- werful as him became his allies whom in turn elected Hiranyaka- sipu as their leader and king. Hiranyakasipu however was killed by Nrsimha`s sharp nails, the ul- timate weapon to which the demon king could be killed. It there- fore sent Hiranyakasipu to his early grave when he attempted to kill Prahlada Maharaja, the dear- most devotee of Lord Krishna-Nr- simha. Anyone who hears this narration is assured of going home, back to Godhead. Haribol! All glories to Lord Sri Krishna Chaitanya`s sankirtana movement!
  14. O.K. Why am I saying this to you? Because in my planet people read the news, they be politics, econo- mics, entertainment, religious, etc. Since, I like to read anything about religion, I would have expected that IT`d publish, at least, on weekly basis, about Krishna consciousness. But all I read are articles from Dr. Deepak Chopra, Maharishi Yogi, about Christ Jesus, blaah..blaah. If the Supreme Lord is such a loving Being, then why can`t they not print the Lord`s glorious pastimes on MTV, CNN, TIME magazine, New York Times, The Freeman? If Krishna Consciousness is such a BIG DEAL, then why can they not spend God`s money on printing in the news- papers about the Sankirtana movement of Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu? In that way, at least when I open my favorite newspaper, I would be able to read a thing or two about Hare Krishna. I would be happiest person in the world if you could do this in Cebu City, Philippines or elsewhere. ISKCON have spent so much on so-called Planetariums that for just $20 a week, they could even spend to have Swamiji`s works printed in the newspaper say, Sun Star Daily or Cebu Daily News. Why are people trying to cover-up the Supreme Lord Govinda and instead have unlimited articles printed about Jesus? Is Jesus more popular than Krishna? For those who think Krishna is a myth, then I might as well call Hare Krishna a virus(poison) to me and you. You know there`s a saying, that X maybe beneficial to some , but the same could be a poison to John.
  15. It was way back in 1986 when I had this desire to become a writer after passing the board exams for medicine. I didn`t have any back ground on journalism but I could write. When my first article, " A New Heaven and a New Earth " was published in The Freeman, a local dai- ly newspaper, I was elated to know that maybe this art was in my genes. The local daily later accepted me into its fold when they provided me a space where I could write a column," A Grain of Devotion " by Naradadeva Bhagavan. Ah, I had a grand time when they pub- lished a series of articles which I re-edited the commentaries of Srimad Bhagavatam by His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Prabhupad, only to be discovered later that I just copied Prabhupad`s works verbatim when I hit the jackpot by calling Jagad Guru ( Chris Butler) a rascal. Thus, they stopped publishing these articles after the disciples of Mr. Butler called this writer a charlatan. But this did not stop me from writing ar- ticles about the Hare Krishna move- ment in our locality, Cebu City, Phil. I have observed that everytime such an article was published, many things happened around the province and else where. Hare Krishna- A Virus? ------------------------ Fact or Fiction? That the last article this writer wrote, " Getting Caught W/ the Cough " a dormant volcano, Mt. Pi- natubo erupted that almost devastated Central Luzon, Phil.? A coincidence? I don`t know. Then I started telling the media that the Internet was doomed because there within its bowels is the Hare Krishna virus lurking like a Child who anima- tedly plays with users, like YOU. Fact or Fiction: That the ILOVEU virus came alive somewhere between February and March 2000? That it started some- where inside the Sri Sri Radha Mandir Temple in Washington. D.C.? Fact or Fiction: That the Code Red worm is not a worm but a termite? That the said worm was discovered between April and May 2001 inside Delphi.Com/Forums/ Seekers ....? You may not believe me, or not. But that also happened to the people in Noah`s time. Haribol! -------
  16. Long ago it was believed that certain non-living objects could rise to li- ving things. Learned men used to teach that aphids, or plant lice sprang from dew in plants; that maggots were begot- ten of decaying meat; that horse hair turned into worms; that mud gave forth fishes. We know however that aphids and fishes and maggots and worms are produced from eggs. In other words, life begets life and as far as our pre- sent knowledge goes, only living things can produce themselves. There is an ex- ception, forms that are known in LATIN as VIRUS, which in other words means that IT is a POISON, discovered on 1892 by a Russian scientist Iwanowski while investigating the plant disease called TOBACCO MOSAIC. We may have also heard of viruses that exist in the INTERNET, don`t we? Maybe you have come face to face with ILOVEU or the RED CODE. What were they? What triggered them ? God is the CAUSE OF ALL CAUSES, right? Then you`ve got the ANSWER! Haribol ------- [This message has been edited by melvin (edited 08-26-2001).]
  17. The Art Of Cloning ------------------- All living things whether animals or plants have one thing in common-that they are formed from a basic unit we call The Cell made of life-giving substance known as " Plasma " that contains more or less 30 chemical e- lements that gave rise to complex chemical substances(compounds)we at- tribute as PROTEINS, fats, and carbo- hydrates. Proteins are the Building Block of Life that gave meaning to our GENES (DNA) necessary for man`s growth and maintenance of life. Fats and carbo- hydrates, on the other hand, are com- binations of carbons, hydrogen, and oxygen. These are sources of energy needed to activate The Cell. Mineral salts, which make up less than 1% of The PLASMA are nevertheless important because they serve as chemcical regu- lators in the manufacture of tissues. The Cell Cells, therefore contain substances known as enzymes, hormones, and vita- mins that speed up chemical reactions that take place within the cell`s plasma without being affected by such a change. To all intents and purposes, The Cell is simply a BLOB bounded by a living wall we call The Membrane. Someliving things like PROTOZOANS are animals and the ALGAE are plants that are made up of a single cell. Others have considerable numbers. There maybe as many as 50,000,000 sperm cells that compose The SEMEN, or 10,000,000,000, red blood cells in 10 ml. of human blood. As such, there are millions of cells in the hair, the skin, and nails that die everyday without being aware of this fact. The Stem In plants, their cells are grouped to form tissues that serve a special pur- pose. Tissues, in turn, are combined to form an ORGAN in order to perform certain tasks for the Organism, and example of which is The Stem. It`s the equivalent of The Stomach in man. Plants have Roots anchored to the soil which are used to absorb water and mi- nerals from nature conducted upwards through The Stem. The Systems Organs therefore are grouped together to form systems e.g. Digestive system, etc. In plants, it is known as the ve- getative system composed of roots, stems, and leaves. The purpose of which, The Stomach in man, is to digest the raw materials it took from nature where its converted to food needed by the Organism to develop and grow. Finally, the various systems of such a living thing are combined to form the so-called Living Individual. It could be a lion. a bird, a heep, or a tree. Among them, Man is the most successful and dominant because of his creativeness and his conscious choice of what is GOOD and what is NOT. Man, in short, is a cultural Organism that have the intelligence and co- op- erative behaviour for adjusting to an environment where others like him ga- ther together as a social group. Be- cause of these unique traits, man there- fore has the ability to evolve into a SUPERMAN he`s destined to be, but not as an IDIOT. If man, in other words, can prolong his life like the SUPERMAN, then there`s no doubt man can conquer re-birth, death, old age, and disease. Cloning As An Art How to prolong man`s life is where the art of cloning comes when man shall con- sent to use his GENES where it could be cultured in an environment suitable of creating life, from its embryonal state to the neonatal stage, inside a simu- lated maternal womb that is equal to or approximately that of a Human UTERUS. The main problem here is where to find a suitable womb for our cloned-man say, melvin108, for the clone-scientist to implant this type of MUTANT seed. Any cloned-women volunteers out there? Haribol!
  18. O.K. Guys, I`ll tell you a secret. I was having this simulated tests to prove that we can really bring back to life Srila Prabhupad, but to do so, Swamiji needs us to ani- mate himself before us, like one Big Bird sitting with the small bird on the Nara tree- The Param- atma and the atma together in one body, not made of material ele- ments(stable) but the unstable ones(radioactive). This was per- ceived by a Japanese named Tomiyu- ki Tanaka, a film director who gave us the movie, GODZILLA( God`s lila) who became a monster on 1954 about nine years after the atomic bomb was dropped in Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Japan. From hereon, eve- rything in Japan became animated. This is all because the people who lived there were exposed to the nu- clear radiation as a result of those blasts. The people in Japan have no sense of direction and only they could think of is animation, from Astro Boy to Sun Goku in the telemovie series, Dragon Ball Z. When I discovered how I could bring back to life in the animated form, Srila Prabhupad, I have to start reading all over again the science of nuclear physics and as- tronomy. All these branches of knowledge can be decoded by the book authored by Srila Prabhupad, and they are Srimad Bhagavatam and Srimad Bhagavad-gita. Everything about this wonderful science can be found in those books, such as CLONING(Expansions of the Lord). But be very careful because you might be able to find a way to invent the most deadly nuclear bomb, The Brahmastra. I`ll deal with you, guys, regarding this sub- ject on my next posting. O.K.? The Key to solve the riddle is in the words: HAREKRISHNA.
  19. I remember Srila Prabhupad in his book, Journey To Other Planets, that " Life Comes Life " which left a question mark on me as to how it should be done. That is why man invented the electron micro- scope so that he would be able to see what`s beyond what the eyes would want to see.If you say, " You believe in God" then the skeptic in me would challenge you to show God before me, otherwise it would be a waste of time proving to me that God can be found in the Holy Scrip- tures, when what the skeptic in me wants are scientific evidences that God really does exists. Failure to do so would only make me more an unbeliever inspite of the "Blaah--blaaah--blaah." To see God, alive and animated, is to be- lieve. Therefore we need material facts to convince the skeptic in me that God is immortal. Srila Prabhupad knew of his mortality be- cause he was cloth in a material body, subject to birth, death, disease, and old age. Thus, when he died, Srila Prabhupad, as an atomic particle changed into a new- ly charged atomic-spark say, from Uranium 235 to Uranium 238 after having been split by a colliding neutrino bullet fired from the sky, of which the result released a tremendous amount of energy equal to or greater than the atomic blast witnessed by the world when the Bird from USA, the Enola Gay, dropped the nuclear bomb in Hiroshima, Nagasaki on August 6, 1945. When Srila Prabhupad took his last breath on Nov. 14, 1977, it was as if an atomic bomb was dropped from the sky that blas- ted the ISKCON headquarters located in Washington, D.C. to smittereens. Why? Because Srila Prabhupad wasn`t yet ready to die. Like a child, he wanted first to ride on the bullock-cart to tour around the different temples of the Lord located in Vrndavan, India. Srila Prabhupad was asking his disciples to let him observe Parikrama Jaya-sita (Maharaja Pariksit) together with Loka- nath Swami. But this was not meant to be because his disciples refused to grant Srila Prabhupad his LAST WISH on the re- commendation of Swamiji`s Kaviraja. At that instant, it broke Srila Prabhupad`s heart that eventually led to his death. So, O.K. even if I could no longer see His Divine Grace in the flesh.Ommmhhh.. What if I can get hold of Srila Prabhu- pad`s DNA( The Building Block of Life), I might one day deliver to you, Baby Boy Srila Prabhupad. That will be the day when all of those who are responsible for Swamiji`s early demise see the real Holy Ghost. Haribol! -------

  21. It was on 1808 when John Dalton proved that atoms form clusters of an element called " Compounds." A Chemical reaction, for example, bet. Iron(ferrous atom) and Oxygen form a compound known as Ferrous oxide, or RUST, which Dalton has described as an actor on stage that appears in one act, disappears, changes costumes and then shuttle back on stage to play another part. Hence, if you search through the ashes of a fire, you could never find the ac- tor within the wood, or discover the rust that manifested on the iron. Cintamani das, like other atoms say, melvin108, can be identified as actors in a chemical change, although a lone atom, Prabhupad82, can take the place of another atom say, Abhay101, in a cluster, or larger clusters divided in- to smaller ones( one disappears and two new ones taking its place) that remain the same as before, even if things have changed. Atoms such as Cintamani das or melvin108 are therefore actors/actresses who have never left the stage but continue to ap- pear in other roles with new groups or forms. By learning from John Dalton, I don`t see why an atomic particle like Cintamani das should be barred from participating in indiadivine.com`s discussion forums since the role taken by Cintamani das is based on scientific facts.

  24. "Simply but the Greatest " "There are many personalities possessing the qualities of Bhagavan, but Krishna is the supreme because none can excel Him. He is the Greatest Person, and His body is eternal, full of wisdom and bliss. He is the primeval Lord Govinda, the cause of all causes." Brahma-samhita(5.1) If Brahmaji admits Govinda is the cause of all causes, why do people with low IQs think of the Lord as one of them? "Fools deride Me when I descend into this world because they don`t know My transcendental nature and My supreme dominion over all that be." Bg.(9.11) The Lord(Sri Krishna Chaitanya Mahaprabhu) is not an ordinary person when he took birth in India on February 18, 1486. In fact He is the Absolute Personality of God (saccid-ananda-vigraha) and there is no difference between His body and His atma. To know how powerful the Lord is, Pariksit didn`t ask his Guru, Sukadeva Goswami, to relate Krishna`s pastimes in Vrndavana. But first, he wanted to hear the creation of the Lord. The time for such an inquiry was rather short(7 days), and Sukadeva Goswami could have described the Lord to Maharaja Pariksit by touching on Canto 10 of Srimad Bhagavatam to make a brief cut of the whole thing regularly done by professional Bhaga- vatam story tellers. But the King and the greatest speaker of the Vedanta-sutra did not leap like the organizers of Bhagavatam, both having proceeded systematically so the future readers and hearers of Srimad Bhaga- vatam might take lessons from the example. Those who control the external energy of the Lord should know before hand how this Durga devi energy of the Supreme Being Hari is ac- ting, knowing that she is only the shadow of the Lord. Behind her astonishing display of illusory energies is the direction of Sri Vasudeva(Krishna).Bg.(9.10) His Divine Grace in his point of view of Sri Bhagavatam have seriously warned his disci- ples to guard against the pitfalls of igno- ring knowledge about Sri Krishna Chaitanya in regard to how great He is. Only an un- flinching faith in Him that they shall find how truly great is He, otherwise, they will mistake God for Lord Siva, or a historical personality, or a myth. The transcendental pastimes of the Lord in Vrndavana, or at Mathura, are relishable for persons who qualified themselves in ad- vanced spiritual techniques. Like Bhaktivi- noda Thakur, who have attained that stage by the gradual process of devotional service and inquiries about the Lord Nimai Pandit, as we saw in the behavior of Maharaja Parik- sit who kindly requested Sukadeva Goswami to help him describe how the Lover of the Surabhi cows, Srila Govinda, engages His va- rious energies and expansions in maintaining all of creation in His role as Maha-Vishnu and winding up this phenomenal world in the sporting spirit of the Greatest Player of all. (108 Sri Bhagavatam Canto 2, Ch. 4, Text 7)
