I saw this site, it says how to offer food, like they do in Temples, would it be ok for me to do, to get some practice in.?..Ps What happens if i make little mistakes, also i heard from another devotee, that it would be best to offer to Lord Caitanya as He does not see the offences of ppls.

How can i get this desire /images/graemlins/confused.gif

Hare Krishna,
Thats just what i needed, thankyou.
Now i know why i switch in my mind between thinking like:
Krishna is my friend 1 moment, then father next, then Lord next. I really need to understand the above more, but nevertheless i do like the feelings (on material platform of-cource), i was also thinking that since Krishna is completly absolute, could this be a reason for the change of Rasa's?

"Its their own fault. I mean you only get mad cow disease through cannibalism, by feeding dead cows to living cows. Thats the process that creates these rogue proteins that kill the brain."
Karma Karma Karma, Not many ppls died of mad cow's disease, damn shame. Lord Krishna is so kind, i wish ppls would realize this and Give-up beef for GOoD.

Hare Krishna
Our relationship with Lord Krishna is Eternal: Does this mean as Father/Mother/Friend etc, does the mentioned relationships change? as in the case of Brahmana Sudama, who due to a curse came as a demon, so in this case how is the particular relationship eternal? I do not understand. Can you help please.

Long time ago, i was doing some breathing excercies, and i could feel something in my 'first chakra (near the bladder region), a sort of tingling, i have no idea what it was, but while doing the breathing excerices i was thinking of Lord Siva and saying Om/Om Namah Sivaya, what do you think it was?
-
prasadam is an exchange of Love between Krishna,
also it depends what type of air you breath..
The fragrance of Maha-Prasdam being cooked? /images/graemlins/smirk.gif /images/graemlins/grin.gif

How does God use pain as a tool for good in life?
This world is not fit for any sane man, as said by Bhaktivinoda Thakura. We need to get out, not try and make plans for better living, chanting Holy Names of God is the Only way, as said by Lord Caitanya Mahaprabhu (Incarnation of Lord Krishna-who spread the sankirtana movement).
Is it fair to say the world is more pain than pleasure?
The modes of material nature nature affect only those minds who have not 'yet' surrendered unto Vasudeva (Lord Krishna)
The function of this world is apparantly of duality, so pleasure and pain is felt, but Not for the trancendentalist.
Why is it people don't recognize the symptoms of pain and still indulge in bad activities?
This could be the modes of material nature or Not wanting to serve God, so Maya attacks (called the devil in Christianity) anything that makes you forget God is pain, so these 4 pillars of sinful life should be given-up.
Thankyou for your inspiring questions. /images/graemlins/smile.gif

Srimad-Bhagavatam 1.2.9
--
Detroit, August 3, 1975,
University Lecture
Excert.
Srila Prabhupada:
Now convince them that "Yes, there is no fighting between Christian or Krishna-ite. One is worshiping the father; one is worshiping the son. So there is no difference." But isvarah paramah krishna [bs. 5.1]. Krishna... He says that,
sarva-yonisu kaunteya
sambhavanti murtayah yah
tasam mahad yonir brahma
aham bija-pradah pita
[bg. 14.4]
He is the father. That's all right. He identifies Himself as being the father, and Christ identifying himself as the son, then where is the difference? There is no difference. Either you learn from the son or from the father, the teaching will be the same. Only a minority is Christian only.
Guest: I have a question. I think the...
Prabhupada: Only a minority is Christian only.
Guest: The majority believe that Christ is also God, not just His son, but he is God also.
Prabhupada: Yes. No, to... God... God and God's son, they are one and different simultaneously. That you, anyone, can understand, that a father and the son... The son is born out of the body of the father. So if the father is spirit, the son is also spirit because the son is born out of the body of the father. So, so far the body is concerned, it is spiritual. But still, the relationship is father and son. It is called acintya-bhedsbheda-tattva, simultaneously one and different. Anyone can understand. The child is the father's body. In that way it is one. But a child is the son, and the father is the father. So simultaneously one and different. So Christ is God and not God simultaneously.
Guest: Are you saying that through the unity of Krishna is also a unity of non-Krishna?
Jagadisa: He's saying that within the unity of Krishna is also...
Guest: There is also the unity of non- Krishna?
Prabhupada: Well, in the higher sense there is nothing but Krishna, or God.
Guest: It is also non- Krishna?
Prabhupada: There is... Just like... I have already explained that, simultaneously one and not one. Just like the sunshine. You see the sun, and you see the sunshine. The sunshine is of the same quality, heat and light, and the sun is also heat and light, but when the sunshine comes within your room it does not mean the sun has come within your room. The heat and light is already there with the sunshine, but still, you cannot say sunshine is the sun.
Guest: (indistinct)
Jagadisa: Can't hear. Speak louder. (end)

Depends what you watch.
If somebody is inclined to watch TV, then watch KC programmes of Krishna, then your propensity for watching TV becomes purifyed, i have no idea whether this is bona-fide, but if you are talking about watching lectures (Srila Prabhupada etc) then it is cool. Haribol!!

The mantra used is Om *Glim Suraya Namah
*not sure about this word

Can I ask who Hridy is short for?
I think i know but am not clear.
Thankyou.
Just a thought:

Hare Krishna
Yes, i think that thought would make me feel more unhappy, than make me want to chant, but while chanting i could realize i am eternal soul, so maybe your idea is cool after all, we are after all dying.
