  1. my humble obeisances to you my friend, janardana prabhu. i`m sorry if i have not pleased you. i`m 100% surrendered to krishna-balarama and i have no desire but become a fool by writing about hare krishna. yes, i`m not a pure-devotee and i have no acharya to guide me and love me, but all i know is that i love krishna very much if this is enough for you to become secure in offering you this humble trust and love as your eternal friend. with you, in swami`s fold, we could work-out well in planning how we, with jnds, could inundate the world with love for the cowherd boy of vrndavan,sri govinda. have a nice day and hare krishna.
  2. I`m not well-attuned to the caste system of India. As far as I know it is called the Varnasrama Dharma system created by the Lord Himself, Sri Krishna. It`s a method of grouping individuals according to one`s nature of being after having a mind of its own. If one`s nature is that of a healer or preacher then he can be classified as a brahmana, a soldier or kastriya, a businessman or vaisya, so on and so forth. Sri Krishna, the Supreme Lord, made it this way in order to restore the chaos wrought by the Kali-yuga where almost everyone are trying to outwit each other giving rise to trivial arguments that have no value at all which in the end may result to violence to injuries to death. This is not what Lord Chaitanya wants from us. What He wants from us is to go back home, back to His loving arms. He wants us to render devotional service to Him by propagating His sankirtana-yajna movement of inundating the world with love of Krishna consciousness. Just carry out Sri Nimai Pandita`s mission and this chaotic caste system will just fall into its rightful place. P.S. The word "sudra" may also mean the word "servant."

  4. The apparent method for understanding Krishna consciousness is the path of devotional service. This sublime reality begins by hearing directly from the Lord Himself through the sound incarnation which has emanated from reading books like Srimad Bhagavatam compiled and written by Vyasadeva, chanting the Hare Krishna maha-mantra prescribed by Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu, remembering Govinda`s pastimes with the gopis and the cowherd boys of Vrndavan and most especially His intimate relationship with Srimati Radharani, and worshiping the Krishna-Balarama Deity inside the temple. This process of remembering the Absolute Truth is called ABHIDEYA( Wow! I have this idea). It is an experience where the devotee doesn`t like to deviate to another form of consciousnesss. As it progresses, there`s within him this desire to spread the Supreme Lord Krishna`s glorious pastimes by using one`s mind to write articles about His pastimes or activities, a way of relishing and nurturing his relationship, eternal or temporary, with Him. As soon as these transcendental dealings take place, Krishna gradually becomes the scribe`s personal asociate which is the latter`s source of bliss. To write books dedicated to Krishna is to establish the scribe`s long lost relation- ship with Him. Reviving it will therefore enable the scribe to execute the devotional service of inundating the world with books, freshly edited in languages it could be understood by the common tao(man), that describe Krishna`s loving relationship with His pure-devotees. It`s the ultimate goal one should achieve in his lifetime: This unconditional love of working(writing) for Krishna without expecting anything in return. That is the real purpose of my samadhi. The rest are only supplements (chakra healing) to the actual medicine( Krishna conscious- ness).
  5. reality is when i immediately carry out a.c. bhaktivedanta swami`s mission and that is to produce more books. swami loved books so much that he even left his wife when he found out that she exchanged them for a couple of grams of tea leaves. writing books to glorify krishna-balarama is swami`s whole life and it won`t matter to him if he goes back to this planet earth so long he can write some more books for radha-krishna.
  6. in the kaliyuga age, it`s hard for the mind to be detached. that`s why lord chaitanya prescribed the chanting of the hare krishna maha mantra to keep the mind from wandering. having realized, after many births, it is part and parcel of the supreme whole, krishna it at once carries out what krishna have instructed it to do, to write books glorifying the pastimes of krishna and distribute it to the world-at-large so that all will be cured of their ignorance. " that`s the only way for the mind(self) in the kali-yuga age to be freed from the illusory energy, which is maya," says lord chaitanya mahaprabhu. reality is when one carries out the mission of his spiritual master, to write about the glories of radha-krishna, krishna-balarama, in languages that can be understood by the common tao(man).
  7. my dear janardana, i agree with you friend on focusing the mind within the heart where Radha-Krishna resides. but it says also that by chanting Hare Krishna one maybe able to push Radha-Krishna`s view to the top(the Mind) in samadhi. it says the mind is very hard to control, like one`s enemy because it can always engage itself in abominable activities hence if i put Radha-Krishna`s view in my mind then i could make it my friend in helping me write books dedicated to Lord Abhay Charand De`s mission of inundating the world with Krishna consciousness. In turn, i`d be healed of my disease. my humble obeisances, melvin
  8. there are different levels of power situated in the body: the lower, middle, and upper chakras. that chakra located in head(upper) should be developed to its full capacity by fixing the mind on the beauty of Krishna and render to Him your devotional service. that way, one is freed from the fruits of his actions. thus, he transcends, birth, old age, diseases and death. after leaving his body, he goes home, back to Godhead.
  9. How can I carry out A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami`s Mission without displeasing him? Should I distribute his books to those who are interested or help in publishing new ones? Which is which?
