You make me laugh

Vous me fait rire.

I never knew that Sri Vaishnavas believed that way. Quite an interesting difference between Gaudiya- and Sri Vaishnavas. Thanks for teaching me your Sampradaya's views on this issue

Yay! This is my thirtieth post! I can PM now! Talk to you tomorrow Indulekha Dasi and I'd like to have sangha w/ you Baobatree (if you're up to it). Night guys! Jai Sri Radharani!

How true. Hmmm... I wonder why he does that if he has any religious beliefs of his own? LOL, I just realized that even if he does believe in God, he dislikes you so much that he's still 'a'theist or even 'anti'theist.

Oh yes, a monarchy controlled by people who might be opposed to Krishna Consciousness and make a law against it would be so much better than a society where the people are given a say as to what they want to do with their lives. That said, I'm more of a communist idealist myself. I think people should have to share what they get. Unfortunately, people are very greedy and the leaders who try to enforce it are often times hypocritical and power-hungry. Not to mention so many of them are anti-religion.

Incompatible with modern Christianity and the Old Testament, but not incompatible with Jesus: Now behold, one came and said to Him, “Good Teacher, what good thing shall I do that I may have eternal life?” So He said to him, “Why do you call Me good? No one is good but One, that is, God. But if you want to enter into life, keep the commandments.” He said to Him, “Which ones?” Jesus said, “ ‘You shall not murder,’ ‘You shall not commit adultery,’ ‘You shall not steal,’ ‘You shall not bear false witness,’ ‘Honor your father and your mother,’ and, ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’' --Matthew 19:16-19

Oui, c'est tres vrai. J'aime Shridi Sai Baba, mais je n'aime pas plus Sathya Sai Baba.

I've never really noticed it before. But, now that you mention it, from what I can recall, it's true. Maybe he is an atheist?

I think he put 'Vishnu/Krishna' b/c there are many Gaudiya Vaishnavas on here who think of Krishna as being the Highest Form of Divinity (I would be one of those), even higher than Vishnu (I would disagree with that, since Vishnu is a form of Krishna, and I believe that Krishna is nondifferent from His forms).

That's a really good point, Baobatree.

"Durga rupa nirantara, sukha sampati data. Jo koi tumako dhyavata, riddhi siddhi dhana paata." "In the form of Durga, You (Lakshmi) grant both happiness and prosperity, and he who centers his attention on You becomes the recipient of all prosperity and fulfillment." --Lakshmi Aarti

But I'm almost there so it's okay

You have to have at least 30 posts

I think that Shiva is a partial expansion of Krishna and Kali is a partial expansion of Radharani. So, since They are part of Their Lordships forms, I don't think They are bound by matter in the slightest (I would say to the contrary, They control matter. Kali being an incarnation of Maya Devi). Kali and Shiva worship Radha-Krishna, and They, in turn, worship Them. (Not to mention that Kali is Lord Krishna's sister.) Jai Sri Sri Radha-Krishna! Jai Kalika! Om Namah Shivaya!

Oh. I don't see anything wrong with a temple that has a murti of their gurudeva in it along with God's forms and friends. I don't really like the idea of the temple that GODSEED described, though (but since they consider him to be God, then I guess there's nothing really wrong with them having a temple dedicated to their Ishta-Deva... I didn't know they considered him as such).

But what other kind of spammers come to religious forums, LOL

Who knows, your old body could be in there somewhere!

They all look so happy! Did you see the lady who was rocking her baby back and forth to the Kirtan?

So Lakshmi Devi (although She is a form of Radharani) is still a seperate entity from Her, and hence didn't look at Krishna the same was as Radharani and was excluded from the Rasa Dance for doing so? That's what I got out of the quote. I'm sorry for my ignorance Beggar Prabhu, but I could still use some clarification (unless what I said was correct, which I highly doubt since almost all of my speculations are wrong).

I don't understand it either. Maybe it's so Jehovah's Witnesses don't get on here and start PMing everyone without anyone knowing their character... well... that's the best explanation I can think of anyway.

Yes I did. The lady singing it had a beautiful voice! Thank you for sharing it with us

I'm so upset Indulekha! I can't even send PMs anymore!

I'm not attacking Lord Chaitanya or anything like that (just to make it clear), but I've really never understood what He meant by this. Isn't Lakshmi Devi a form of Radharani... so wasn't She there anyway, since there's really no difference between Her and Radharani, or Krishna and Narayan (Her beloved spouse)? I also don't understand why He said 'She did not follow in the footsteps of the gopis in Her worship of Krishna.' Lord Narayan (who is Sri Krishna) is Her lover, and She worships Him as such, so I just can't understand how She wasn't worshipping in the mood of the Gopis. Help?

LOL... same here Baobatree. I don't know any Southeast Asian languages either, but I still enjoy hearing Krishna's praises in any and all languages they come in.
