  1. or a blade of grass under His Foot
  2. That's paradoxical, brother, but I'll try not to be so abrasive. In hindsight, I came off pretty "off-the-top". I'm for neither of them either, and yet I wish the best for both of them. I think that statements like, are uncalled for and not only relinquish the personal responsibilities of all those involved in war profiteering, but place the full burden on a select few. You obviously targeted Israelis and British Bankers as being in control of the US Government. I don't think I misunderstood that. I don't think shifting the burden of proof to me helps this subject any. I am not the one making a claim that Jews and Brits are in control of US. Last I checked George W. Bush was the president (2 terms!) and it is he that has the right to declare war. I'm sure there are Brits, Israelites, Americans, Saudis, and Palestinians who profit off of war. Call a spade a spade, it isn't just a Jew and a Brit who spill blood. And what about the "rapture and second coming" point I made. Why does it have to be a Jew who has interest in Israel. What about the East Gate in Jerusalem and the Christian interests there? I think your isolation of "Israelites" is unfair, and please don't think I am targeting you. It was just your statement. I'm sorry I made you uncomfortable. I'll try to not repeat that. Cheers!
  3. Gradually, (through the mercy of Hari, Guru, Vaishnava and Nama) you'll be more concerned with what Krsna wants
  4. Yes, it is from a lecture. Mayapur Feb 11, 1976. If you'd like I can send you the transcript I have
  5. Rasa can be developed and matured. Take Gopa Kumara of Brhad Bhagavatamrta for instance. He attained the stages of mahabhagavata and beyond. He entered lila, first with Narayana, then with Krsna till he found himself fulfilled as a cowherd boy. At that point it was as if he was always with Krsna. So when I said there is a difference between a gold nugget and gold jewelry, that they are not one, it is in this context. We nityabaddha jivas are golden but in a raw state. It isn't until we are smelted by Prema and tempered with Saranagati do we achieve our beauty. It is a process of offering and sacrifice. With no work, no sacrifice is complete. Prabhupada did not teach that your final spritual body and bhakti are synonyms. To revisit what Prabhupada said regarding Nitya Siddha note especially what he said regarding Prahlad Maharaj in the 3rd quote. If you are in Maha Maya, you are definitely not nitya siddha Bhakta although you may have nitya siddha bhakti in a dormant state:
  6. All things are created for a purpose. If there were no sorrow, would you know joy? Erase sorrow and you will erase its coefficient--joy.
  7. What kind of guru would you like?
  8. Where would you leave from. What sort of visa would India grant to you?
  9. Where in India would you like to go?
  10. There is a difference. You can't wear a gold nugget, it has to take shape in the form of jewelry. Nevertheless it is still gold.
  11. There are folks here that are very knowledgeable. Try there. http://help.berberber.com/forum100/16088-translation-required-please.html
  12. I have to wonder if it is the nature of the books or the nature of the person reading them though (as Suchandra has stated). We have to consider that most Westerners who have embraced Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Saraswati's, Srila Bhaktivinode Thakure's, Srila Sridhara Maharaja's, Srila Narayana Maharaja's or Srila Tirtha Maharaja's or Srila Puri Maharaja's .... books and teachings have had some formal association with at least the books of Srila Prabhupada in the past. Sadly, there is a proportionate few who cling to the word and not the gist and somehow those are the ones who provide the lack of fulfillment for others.
  13. Try copy and paste... its much less grueling. You can sip chamomile tea and copy and paste
  14. If you want to see the context of what Prabhupada said regarding Nitya Siddha look at this:
  15. Beggar, that was hilarious . The responses by Sarvah indicate no retention or dynamic understanding. (I don't know if this is true regarding Sarvah, its just what the response indicates.) They are disproportionately long and therefore difficult to pay attention to. They offer no contextual relation and thus, can easily be misinterpreted. Given their disproportionate length, I'd wager:eek3: that most persons glaze over them. If Sarvah wants to be more efficient in his preaching, he might want to try to be a little more dynamic.
  16. Theist is right on this. Violence against a weaker person is unbecoming unless the weaker person is malicious. Violence is something necessitated in self-defense. Used offensively, it is just that, offensive. If the father is not defending his life from his wife and daughter (unlikely) perhaps he should leave the home, as a home where there is no peace is not a home at all. Follow Theist's advice and contact the authorities.
  17. So it is only British bankers and Israelis who are war profiteering? Wouldn't the fact that America was founded on Christian ideals (which promote the belief in the second coming and rapture) serve as American impetus to manipulate the issues of the middle east? It is the Christian goal to see Jesus on the Cross since that is their only chance of redemption and salvation. This whole statement stinks of racism and Lutherism. This idea of singling out Israel is full-on anti-semite philosophy. Buddy, you might do well to not listen to Alex Jones for the next year. The Abrahemic religions seem to be the disfunctional variable. Let us also not forget what the pledge of the leading party of Gaza is. At this point, both sides are obviously operating under the "Kill, or be Killed" philosophy. Perhaps you can do a little research to the source of the conflict. http://dancutlermedicalart.com/AlbertEinstein%27sZionism/01EinsteinBeforeZionism.htmAnd we've seen what the course of Gaza's actions are when they don't get what they want. End of cease fire then Rockets Red Glare, Bombs Bursting in Air....what to do
  18. There are numerous places where Srila Prabhupada is offering a particular view of falling from Krsna Consciousness and then there are others who are elaborating upon his position. Previously, there was a quote from Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Saraswati (Prabhupada's Prabhupada) which provided a neutral canvas to these theories. However, as one analyzes the teachings which are contemporarily offered regarding the jiva's fall, in relation to the teachings of the purva acharyas, one will notice many inconsistencies (as RamanaDasi along with others have shown). I understand one's faith in Srila Prabhupada can be intense and that they are willing to surrender to him with or without the full backing of the parampara. This is admirable, yet, not a provision granted to us by Srila Prabhupada. The best way to serve is to remain chaste to the flow of knowledge and show how and where one's Guru was not starting something new but continuing the same pure message.
