  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. 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!


  4. 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

    ------------------------


  5. 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.

  6. 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............


  7. 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?


  8. 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.

  9. 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!


  10. 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.


  11. 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!

  12. 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

  13. 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!

     


  14. 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.


  15. 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!

  17. 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.

  19. my dear lord govinda,

     

    i don`t know how to animate these words

    on your birthday because i`m an ordinary

    surfer who loves to connect on the net

    so he could associate with your devotees.

    one moment of association with Your pure

    devotee, Srila Prabhupad, is akin to be-

    ing with him eternally. Together, we can

    accomplish like no man has done: To inun-

    date the world with krishna consciousness

    at speeds faster than light.

    please, my lord hari, come join with us

    and become the lead member of our Band.

     

    the jayasriradhey cosmic band!

  20. "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.
