of complaining about what you consider Bush's and Blair's lack of spirituality - why don't you send them both a Bhagavad Gita As It Is? Send them emails each day preaching of Krishna Consciousness? Prabhupada did not sit in India and complain about all of us mudhas here in the west. No! He went into action and with great risk to His health - He traveled half way around the world to a strange country with a few coins and a trunk load of books. You got it easy. Put a book in a box and take it to the Post Office. Sit down at your computer and type up an email in the comfort of your home. Can't think of what to say to them? Just do what you do here all the time and paste qoutes. Complaining does not change anything. Only action can do that. So get off your duff. Change requires taking some risks not sitting in these forums preachin to the choir. Take it to the streets.

for what? Control? getting rich? becoming poor? Turn your tv off then. TV tax does not make a country a dictatorship. What is a dictatorship? Go ask the German Jews from the '40's. I am sure some are living in England.

explain. I am not understanding, really, what you are saying. What specifically has happened in England or to you by the government that makes it a dictatorship? Also the USA?

that England is a dictatorship? Is the USA a dictatorship?

for what? I am trying to get clarification on your statements.

on what? Control? Who are "they"? Please be more specific with your statements. I don't watch TV anymore and i quit believing most of what I heard long before I quit watching it.

Bush and Blair dictators?

are the dictators you are referring to? What pictures of torture? The pictures I saw were not of torture.

who are the dictators? Also, what pictures of torture? By? To? Sudras? Who? We are all sudras in this age.

I gotta ask. What is the purpose of these posts where you are comparing Prabhupada's translations to BR Sridhara Maharaja?

Dictators...who are you talking about?

hmm...ummm...what part of the bull gives milk? /images/graemlins/blush.gif

Nectar from last year!!

The belief now is that the only reason for abstinence is to prevent unwanted progeny. Shame on us. It is not much wonder that Western women are viewed as "loose" (nicer word than normally used) by those in the eastern countries and targeted for sexual crimes.

for biting your nails but putting your fingers in your mouth makes you unclean and also cutting nails is to be done only before taking a shower in essence also making you unclean.

You are the one!!! /images/graemlins/wink.gif

Thank you thank you thank you!!! I rarely visit the other forum and very much appreciate you pointing this out to me!!

I should stop wearing this great big hat I painted up like a target!!! Geez...one disappointment after another. grumble....grumble...grumble.... /images/graemlins/crazy.gif

when this happens. It is Maya devi pulling out all the stops on you. Mahanidhi Swami talks about this problem in his book, "Art of Chanting Hare Krsna." I will try to locate his reference to it tomorrow for you but I do remember him saying that when this happens "Chant loudly!!"

is my reminder to myself that what I post should be true and honest to what I also do. If anyone takes offense to my signature then perhaps they need to also look within themselves. Not sure why you spit at me because I prefer to see Christmas rather than Xmas. What is your problem? And only because you ask - Yes, I chant at least 16 rounds each and every morning before I even turn on my computer. So look in the mirror before you spit at people....and it would help if you got a NAME!

To me X signifies crossing Christ out of Christmas which is what most people do each year when they celebrate Christmas only as a day of greed and gluttony instead of a Holy day. Don't cross Christ out.

Now back to the subject at hand which is the offensive laziness of abbreviating the Holy Names and the sweet names of our Acaryas. As for H_bol - it would be difficult for me to remain quiet on that one if someone greeted me with it. That is as bad as Xmas to me which I always found offensive also. It makes me wonder just why the perpetrators find it so difficult and time-consuming to say or type the Lord's names. Hmmm....??

PAMHO does not impress me and but it does not disturb me as much cuz it does not contain the Holy Names but AGTSP bugs me as does the other abbreviations of the Holy Names. How lazy!!!

in my post so not sure why you brought it up. That is not the subject of my post. I only mentioned abbreviating our acaryas names and the Holy Names of the Lord. Abbreviating Them is offensive and we must take into consideration the newbies who do not know what is meant by these abbreviations.

in another thread a guest wrote: Thank you!!! I have also seen people use HK for Hare Krsna and HKHKKKHHHRHRRRHH for the maha mantra!!! Personally, I find this offensive and lazy! Next they will be walking up to people and saying "HK"!! There is nectar in the names of our acaryas and the Holy Names - both for the the writer/speaker and the reader/listener.
