An English professor wrote the words, "Woman without her man is nothing," on the blackboard and directed the students to punctuate it correctly. The men wrote: "Woman, without her man, is nothing." The women wrote:"Woman! Without her, man is nothing."

I guess I offended someone's sensitivities with the joke about the 2 nuns. Sorry guys!

If you ever need information in Vrindavan, is a couple that manage the Gift Shop in the Krsna-Balarama temple. His name is Laksmana (italian) and his wife's name is Uttara (indian). They know everything that is there to know (practical matters) He used to do one day Vrindavan parikrama and the next day Govardhan parikrama, and during Kartika, every day Govardhan parikrama. Really nice people. Feel good to remember them.

Something that I just remember. Last Kartika we went por parikrama to Govardhan with a devotee who came to India for the first time. We knew that for her was no problem to walk many miles because she is a firefighter from San Diego and was fitter than the other 3 of us together. Everything went very smooth, going after Mangal Aratik and in good conciousness. Walking and chanting, avoiding prajalpa and the monkeys we reached the area where you turn and we were very close to Govardhan.Trying to catch up with her, we were a little bit behind and we saw 3 dogs standing in a door. The moment that our friend passed them they started howling and my Bengali friend inmediately said: "That is so inauspicious". We continued walking and we were so happy to see this beautiful area with many trees, peacocks, monkeysand beautiful Govardhan to our right. Our Californian friend saw a beautiful, majestic white bull and she stopped to take a picture of him with Govardhan as background. She started to take the camera out and all the paraphernalia and while she was kneeling doing that, the dogs came to her and to our surprise (she wasn't paying attention to them) they started to circumbalate her and all of the sudden one of them lifted its leg and passed urine on her!! Now, tell me, what was that? We couldn't stop laughing for a long time and our friend took it very well. She thought that in a previous life she did something to that soul that she had to come all the way from California to get piss by a dog in Govardhan. Maitreya, beware of the dogs that circumbalate!

My favorite places in Vraja are Govardhan Hill and Sri Radha Kunda. To go in parikrama there is pure nectar. The first time I did the parikrama I did the mistake of going with a big group and we took so many hours that at the end I just wanted for everything to finish as soon as possible. After that every year for Kartika I just went with 2 or 3 devotees, very early in the morning and everything was much better, because we didn't have to walk at noon when gets really hot. Normally we took a book with us with the description and pastimes of the different places and from time to time we sat down to read. At the end we used to finish in Radha Kunda (fron where we started) and have the holiest bath ever. I recommend Govardhan Parikrama as one of the most rewarding spiritual experiences.

Why are blonde jokes so short? So men can remember them. Atma.

A woman accompanied her husband to the doctor's office. After his check up, the doctor called the wife into his office alone. he said, "Your husband is suffering from a very serious disease, combined with horrible stress. if you don't do the following, your husband can die. Each morning, fix him a healthy breakfast. Be pleasant and make sure he is in a good mood. For lunch, fix him a nutritious meal. For dinner, prepare an especially nice meal for him. Don't burden him with chores. Don't discuss your stress; this will probably make him feel worse. And most importantly, you must be intimate with your husband every day of the week. If you can do that for at least 10 months to a year, I think your husband will regain his health completely." On the way home, the husband asked his wife, "What did the doctor say to you?" "You are going to die."

Lucky you that you're going to the Holy Dhama! Don't worry too much. I'd seen foreigners that don't even drink charanamrit thinking that they'll get sick because of the water used or don't take bath in the Yamuna thinking that She is polluted. Those are the ones that get sick all the time! Just don't eat too much. I would be careful with malaria though. There are some good ayurvedic and homeophatic preventive medicines that I hope someone can help with the names. Get your mosquito net and citronella and you'll be more or less OK. The mosquitoes are so smart that wait for some blood in the showers and toilets. Just relax and get ready for the mercy that is waiting for you. Atma.

I know a lady that cured breast cancer with urine therapy. The doctors in the West after she came back from India couldn't believe it. She went to one of these Ayur Vedic clinics in South India where they take nice care of the patients. As JNDas said you should drink lots of water and have a very simple diet with fresh fruits and vegetables. Became a fashion for the devotees in Vrindavan to start drinking their own urine. Emphasis in the early morning one. I may do it only if I'm desesperate. Atma.

WOMEN Women are honest, loyal, and forgiving. They are smart, knowing that knowledge is power. But they still know how to use their softer side to make a point. Women want the best for their family, their friends and themselves. Their hearts break when a friend dies. They have sorrow at the loss of a family member, yet they are strong when they think there is no strength left. A woman can make a romantic evening unforgettable. Women come in all sizes, in all colors and shapes. They live in homes, apartments and cabins. They drive, fly, walk, run or e-mail you to show you how much they care about you. The heart of a woman is what makes the world spin! Women do more than just give birth. They bring joy and hope. They give compassion and ideals. They give moral support to their family and friends. And all they want back is a hug, a smile and for you to do the same to people you come in contact with. MEN Men are good at lifting heavy stuff and killing spiders.
