Hare Krishna Theist prabhu, i'm saying is that 'sometimes only' when i am living by the 4 regulative principles, my mind wants sense gratifiction (anything even a slice of pizza!), and it feels sort of dulled?!, but thats because I have no devotee association ...Hopefuly with Radha-Krishnas grace not for long.. /images/graemlins/smile.gif /images/graemlins/smile.gif

Hare Krishna She must be pretty strong being in prison with bad.associatin and still being able to practice K.C, wonder how much advancement she'll make with good association!!

Hare Krishna I have faith in the Maha-Mantra, but sometimes, when I have NO sense-gratification, my MIND feels dulled out, like spaced out, I'm sure other persons might have experienced this, what to do? Thats what I was 'trying' to get at out when I asked the original question, /images/graemlins/confused.gif ps. yasodanandana thank you for your humbleness, will try no to offend you...Haribol /images/graemlins/smile.gif

Hare Krishna Thats my post! /images/graemlins/smile.gif

Hare Krishna Listen here prabhu 'gods' posts maybe long sometimes!!! But he always keeps his posts different, some I read and some I don't, some are like nectar, some I can't understand, Haribol!

Excerpts from inmates' letters-2003 ISKCON Prison Ministry I had been suffering out of ignorance and due to leading a sinful life. I want to be rescued from this ignorance. I'm trying very hard and as long as I continue to read and chant everyday, I'm beginning to see things clearly-Billy Jones Amarillo, TX You asked how I used aspirin to count mantras? I have a bottle of 108 aspirins and each time I finish a mantra, I place one aspirin back inside the bottle, then dump them back out again after 108-Bhakta Paul Kimmel, Pendleton, IN I am in receipt of your book Hidden Glory of India and your letter. Thank you for mailing such an informative book. You have reached out to me, when I was disillusioned by problems and now I am chanting the maha mantra and have got an opportunity to read this book-Girish Vishvanath, Rome, NY I'm very eager to learn about this devotional yoga and mantra meditation and I have many questions, I need answers, please. I hope to hear from you soon- Vincent Kemp, Jesup, GA I enjoyed reading the pamphlets you sent. I let some friends read the ones you sent on vegetarians. I must say they had no arguments according to what was said in them. They asked for your address, to see if you could enlighten them more about not eating meat-Jason Brazell, Dilley TX I have received the book, Hidden Glory of India; it is such a delectable, unique book. I have fallen in love with the book-Paul Lewis, Soledad, CA My chanting is progressing slowly, but everyday I push forward trying to break the chains of Maya-Jared Race, El Dorado, TX This is what I like about Krsna Consciousness; it is scientific, not sectarian. From God's point of view there is no question of Hindu or Christian. I don't know about all these "new age" spiritual groups, but in the Srimad Bhagavatam (4.3.23), it is said, "When a man is situated in pure goodness he worships Vasudeva"-David Lightsey, Angola LA Reading and chanting the holy names fills me with peace- Bhakta Charles Morris, Waverly VA In 2006 I come up for parole, for the first time. I'm not worried about it if I get denied. I'm more interested in sharing and preaching about Krsna to others-Ruben Minjarez, Gatesville, TX A few weeks ago I came across an Srimad Bhagavatam, first canto-part two, Creation. The book is from ISKCON. I've been reading it for about 3 weeks. I am truly amazed and humbled at the same time, by it and the Bhagavad-gita As It Is. I did not even know that this level of knowledge and wisdom was even in this world-Tony Boggan, Lucasville, OH The Pastor Dave Mason, in this jail was kind enough to lend me his personal copy of Bhagavad-gita As It Is, for reading in jail. It is a great solace to me through this very stressful time. I am going through, without it I would go crazy-no kidding-Bhaktin Snehal Diksheet, Battle Creek, MI I received the "How to Practice Krishna Consciousness in Prison", you sent. I have prepared a small altar in my cell, according to directions. I'm trying the best I can with what I have-Evan Lowther, Watonga OK All my studies, prayers, meditations and chanting have got me fired up like a steam engine. My consciousness has risen to new heights. Awesome! Whatever I read, contemplate on, pray about, sends insights, revelations, spiritual feelings beyond anything I can put on paper, right now! -Dan Seager, Susanville, CA My entire life has prepared me for this, all the things I've been through and the things I've learned, have brought me to this point in life, and I am so grateful to Krsna for this opportunity to become a devotee. I can't imagine life any other way-Robert Slack, Navasoto, TX Thanks for the altar pictures you sent to me. I've got them displayed on a little shelf besides my bed. They seem to draw a lot of attention. I've had more than a dozen people inquire about them. I try my best to explain, sometimes I find myself saying more than was asked, by telling them some of the pastimes of Krsna. Some are captivated about what I say and others think I'm crazy. Well I am crazy, crazy to learn as much about God that I can-Jason Brazell, Dilley Tx I'm chanting more and more and Krsna is doing lots of wonderful things in my life. It's no so much exterior things, although good things are happening in my circumstances, but it's mostly inwardly. Krsna has enabled me to transcend the negativity around me and within me. I am very grateful for this-Robert Harrington, Clermont, FL Without your aid, I don't think I would have made it long enough to find Krsna in this life, if ever! So, I thank you for that and much more that I cannot put into words! So please, imagine yourself receiving an enthusiastic hug and back pounding-Corey Wilson, Kenedey, TX I am really becoming enriched in my Hare Krsna chanting. I chant the mantra all during the day. I desire to always be fixed in devotion-Robert Creech, Brunswick NC Learning and practicing daily is sometimes difficult for me, because I forget that I'm not this body, but when I chant I remember and I experience peace and power in my life, in that moment of time. After trying so many different religions I thought that this Krsna Consciousness was just a fad, but after I began to experience the protection of the mantra, I knew I was on to something more powerful than I had tried and experienced before. I tried several times to put this practice behind me and just be safe and stay a muslim, but after numerous incidents, I decided to experiment with the maha mantra and change my diet to be a full vegetarian. I was not consistent at first, but as I started to get books and magazines my understanding and consciousness began to grow and my life seemed lighter, even though I still have this life sentence to deal with-James H. Banks This week a thunderstorm blew in and bang went the thunder! A friend of mine was killed. A bolt of lightening got him and I was in a straight line with him, 200 feet away. He never knew what hit him, it was so quick Standing alive in the middle of the baseball field and in one millionth of a second gone!!! Life is more fragile than people want to admit-Dennis Archer, Coleman FL Thank you for answering my questions. Not only myself, but, people I know turned from religion. Myself, I never stopped searching. I went from faith to faith looking for answers. Now I'm finding answers-Rufus Tanner, Florida City, FL Contacts, Shyama Priya ISKCON Prison Minsitry 4455 Quince St. #A San Diego, CA 92105 e-mail-mamashyama@aol.com Chandrasekhara dasa PO Box 2693 Toledo OH 43606 419-508-2291 PrabhupadaVani@

I was going to use this wonderful picture as 'my' picture but i opted for the krishna-arjuna battlefield pic, maybe I'll change it every week or someting, ps how do you post pictures without making them as attachments, i STILL CAN'T FUGURE it out, Haribol Thank again, nice radha-krishna-gopi picture don't u think?

Hare Krishna Didn't he predict that the world would end in the year 2000, and people were scared or something, well it didn't, and people are still believing his 'predictions' will come true, I mean he wasn't a devotee or anything so what base do his so-called predictions have...NONE!

Hare Krishna don't give up your day job

Hare Krishna From what I can understand from what you have wrote! Susupti means unconsciousness (not fainting or what-not) It means when you die (for a period of time, the soul being eternal) It means when you are in your others womb for a period of time I think they 'maybe' is a lot of meanings for it, like a lot of words. Every one of us are un-conscious living entities, awaiting our souls(jiva-atma) natural influence to be exhibited, with the power/force of the Maha-Mantra and the bona-fide Spiritual Master......Haribol

Hare Krishna Just in case people don't know what susupti is here's the answer (you learn something new everyday! /images/graemlins/smile.gif, Google rules! by A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Srila Prabhupada There are three stages: jagarti, svapna, susupti . Anyone has got this experience. One stage is that you are awakened, another stage is sleeping, and another stage is unconscious. Jagarti, svapna and susupti, the Sanskrit name. Jagarti, when you are awakened, our consciousness is very acute, very strong. In sleeping stage, there is consciousness, but it is not so active. And unconscious stage means consciousness is some way or other subdued, not working. Three stages. So death means that unconsciousness for a long period "We Are Individuals Eternally" 73/08/23 London, Bhagavad-gita 2.17 Listen

Haribol! /images/graemlins/smile.gif

Hare Krishna Please don't put words into my mouth I did not suggest he should swim the Indian Ocean.. I meant he could build a big raft and paddle across it. /images/graemlins/grin.gif

Hare Krishna dev Only Krishna devotees can attain the spiritual world.. Vaithuntha or Goloka Vrindavana Christians will goto the heavenly kingdom within this universe Muslims will goto the heavenly kingdom within this universe All the above from yugal.com Since the goal of life is only Krishna, I would 'assume' that Muslims & Christians etc would have to come back to this world sooner or later and execute Krishna Bhakti

Hare Krishna Do any bhakta/matas have any pictures of the wooden Jagganatha/Baladeva/Subadra diety's that were made my Krishna's very own hands?

Hare Krishna Want to go to the UK London Temple without the air-fair then check out this site.. <font color="red"> Bhaktivedanta Manor Virtual Tour</font color>

Hare Krishna I had same problem in my family I'm 'medium' skinned, my mums always put 'fair & lovely' on skin which contains some bleach!, trying to look more white.... I was in first school once and some people, were teasing me about the colour of my skin, so I came home and told my mum and she said "put some of this cream on your face" to look more white! Instead of be proud of yourself, so I think a lot of people in India have a problem with SKIN COLOUR/NOT ALL.. I think somebody should go around the towns and villages chanting the Maha-Mantra and on the side say that Krishna is BLACK (syamasundara)!!! ps I'm 26 and over it /images/graemlins/smile.gif
