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.

If you can answer me this question,
I will give a prize. But if you
can`t then you need to study more.

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!

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

my dear peter,
well, your guess is as
good as mine.
see you at the launching!
yours truly,
captain nemo
-
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.

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............

SRI NRSIMHADEVA IS NOT AFRAID
OF ANYONE EVEN IF HIS ENEMY
IS A MAN HALF-WOMAN( GAY ).

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?

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.

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!

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.

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!

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

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!

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.
-
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!

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.

Thank You, my dear Lord Govinda, for
acknowledging our invitation to form
The Jayasrirahey Cosmic Band, in a nut
shell. The cosmic band is represented
by the following:
1) Sri Govinda- flute

"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)

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).
