to the assembled Vaisnavas. I was taught that this includes the Demigods.

Rather than barging in with the challenging attitude and putting others on the defense it would perhaps have been better to have said... "That's interesting JNdas but I heard that Swami Vivekananda's died from..... I am not sure I understand the qualifications of a Vaisnava. Can someone please explain it to me?"

a devotee friend (disciple of Prabhupada) of mine writes poetry and she told me a long time ago that she was very much influenced by Saint Tukarama's poetry. Not sure if any of this helps you.

in His introduction to Srimad Bhagavatam: "The Lord extensively traveled all over the southern part of India. The great saint of Maharastra known as Saint Tukarama was also initiated by the Lord. Saint Tukarama, after initiation by the Lord, overflooded the whole of the Maharastra Province with the sankirtana movement, and the transcendental flow is still rolling on in the southwestern part of the great Indian peninsula." It does not seem that Prabhupada would include Tukarama and speak so highly of him if he were a mayavadi.

that we have not heard the last from this devotee. She is very strong and by this one letter has done a great preaching service.

a powerful testimony! I was seriously moved to tears by this story. That is what I felt when I read this story.

By OMER FAROOQ HYDERABAD, India (AP) - A rare summertime outbreak here of mosquito-borne encephalitis has killed 110 children in the southern Indian state of Andhra Pradesh over the past six weeks. Most of the victims were poor, malnourished children from rural areas who may have succumbed because of a sudden change in weather from intense summer heat to monsoon rains. In the state's Dubba Tanda village, Soma Naik lost her daughter G. Bharti to the disease 12 hours after she developed fever. ``It happened so fast that we could not do anything to save my daughter. She died within hours,'' Naik said. The $1,040 compensation from the government ``will not bring back my daughter,'' she said tearfully. P. Laxmi Rajyam, the state's director of health services, said the meningo-encephalitis, which causes inflammation of the brain, has affected at least 196 children across the state. Local media have for weeks reported isolated deaths of children for an unknown reason. Rajyam confirmed the toll and the cause for the first time Tuesday in an interview with The Associated Press. ``We have found that the people living in the periphery of the villages, especially near the fields and water bodies, have fallen victim to this disease,'' she said. Rajyam said two federal laboratories in New Delhi and the western city of Pune had tested the virus and found no link to the West Nile virus that has caused encephalitis in the United States. The disease hits India every year, but usually in the drier months of October-December and it usually causes fewer deaths. ``It is the first time we are witnessing this disease in June-July,'' Rajyam said. World Health Organization spokeswoman Maria Cheng said encephalitis is endemic to Asia and around 50,000 cases are recorded every year. ``What is worrisome about this particular outbreak is the case fatality rate is around 55 percent, whereas normally it is 30 percent,'' Cheng said in Geneva. ``But I think the kids falling ill are perhaps not getting treatment immediately.'' India, a poor nation of more than a billion people, has scanty health care in rural areas. Many children may have been first treated with home remedies. Cheng says the last year for which figures in Andhra Pradesh were available was 1999, in which 965 cases of the disease were reported with 200 deaths. Throughout Asia last year there were 50,000 cases and 10,000 deaths. No treatment is available for meningo-encephalitis, but doctors can treat the symptoms. There also are vaccines and the usual action is to vaccinate a population once there has been an outbreak. ``They may have been strained for resources because of the SARS outbreak,'' Cheng said. Rajyam said the number of cases is declining, but they have occurred in 10 of the 23 districts in Andhra Pradesh. The symptoms start with very high fever, followed by fits, vomiting, then vomiting of blood, and finally, coma. There are also changes of behavior and delirium. Many parts of India are experiencing above-average monsoon rains, causing heavier flooding than usual and sending thousands of people from their homes to higher areas. ``We are receiving good rains for the first time after a three-year gap and with the rains we have also got a massive attack of mosquitoes,'' said S. Venkateshwara Rao, a state lawmaker. Srinivas Reddy's 4-year-old son Vamsi Krishna was among those who got the disease but survived. ``I was frightened that my son too is going to die, but I am thankful that I could take my son to the primary health center in time,'' Reddy said. Associated Press writer Naomi Koppel in Geneva contributed to this report.

that was fast!! I just checked it out. It is presented by Sankarshan Das Adhikari who I understand is an initiating ISKCON guru in Texas. He has another website which I have bookmarked on my other computer. I will get it for you shortly so you can read about him. His course is a series of weekly emails about various subjects based on Bhagavad Gita and Prabhupada.

Who presents it? Please tell us more about it or direct us to the site so we can see this.

we need to learn to leave it all to Lord Krsna and not try to take over and fight against Maya devi. That is our problem which causes all of our other problems. Don't you think?

cry me a river!! One post has ruined your livelihood! Give me a break! LOL!! What is it about cattle that you know - that would make it ok to murder and eat their flesh? Are they evil? Are they consorts of Saddam? Are they all plotting to take over the world? I prefer to cry for the poor cattle that you claim to have helped to murder. There are plenty of peaceful jobs out there that pay a heck of lot more than McMurder's does. Sorry but your post just does not make sense. Why would either a cattle rancher or a McDonald's employee be hanging out here? Why would you accuse one person of ruining your life? Your post is suspect in that you seem to have posted it just to start a fight which it did not! You must have something better to do. C' ya.
