I remember when we moved to US first thing we saw on TV was the sunday morning "religious" roundup. I was convinced it was some kind of parody of religious services or a freak show. Coming from Europe, I could not fathom it was for real. Only later we have learned that millions of people give money to such cheaters.

from the local neanderthals.... Hare Krishna! Here is my blessing: May you grow a brain someday...

Well said Mahak prabhu. Serious asuras hide in the zionist camp. They have brainwashed Jews all over the world to be their protectors. I'm surprised even otherwise mature devotees fall for it.

The cycle of reincarnation is very complex and many forms can be the last stop before human form. These 3 are given as examples of highly evolved animal forms preceding human life and can be seen as categories rather than individual species (tigers, panthers, lions etc are seen as belonging to one of such categories). Bears are seen as another entry point form, for those in mixed passion and ignorance. Based on your particular mix of modes you get appropriate form.

"One hope & one hope only: they can all b delivered by KRSNa-kIrtan & SAdhu-sanga"

Demons should simply be avoided. We are not powerful enough to help them and risk getting contaminated by such contact. As one of my devotee friends said: "Dont step into stool and expect to purify it"

Yes, the slaughterers get slaughtered in next lives, just like on that picture.

In the typical samsara cycle: cow (goodness), tiger (passion), monkey (ignorance) are examples of the the last steps before returning to human form. But that is not a rigid rule. Some animal bodies show tremendous influence of the mode of goodness, like certain birds who mate for life only once, and never mate again when their partner dies.

I have heard somewhere that these days many cows host very demonic living entities as part of their karma. I usually try to help with cows we devotees are already responsible for on our farms.

He he... sorry prabhu for all the confusion. It was all my fault... cow protection is very dear to me :-)

sorry LE! I spaced out and misunderstood your question...

Many things can be cow protection, but not eating cows is just being neutral. I let retired cows graze on my land. That is probably a step towards cow protection on my part ;-)

That sounds like a very ambitious religious film. I hope Mel sticks to his planned release. It is rare to see somebody in the "mainstream" public life dare to stand up to unspoken censorship rules imposed by people who control the media.

"in the Age of Kali everyone is born sudra" ...that quote simply means that varna is not determined by birth in this age (the smskaras are either ineffective or not performed at all). More important are the verses in Geeta where Krishna proclaims the 4 varnas and declares that everyone fits in that system

cowherds are usually considered vaishyas ;-)

We are all mixed to a certain degree, basicaly it is a fluid spectrum without rigid divisions. But there are no sudra/brahmana mixes: just sudra/vaishya, vaishya/kshatriya or brahmana/kshatriya. Look at other clues as well (besides the modes of nature as perceived by you) such as your parents varna(s) or your hobbies and weaknesses. If you cant figure out clearly what your varna is - most likely you are not brahmana or kshatriya. There is no shame in being a Vaishnava who happens to have a sudra body. Millions times better than being an asura in a brahmana body... Hare Krishna!
