Haridham

so coudnt people follow this kriya yoga instead of bhakti yoga because this babaji is still giving darshan even after thousands of years and will remain till the end of kali yuga. Wow this stuff can really be overwhelming and produce a lot of doubts

Wow you have quite the history there. THere is so much out there that I dont even know. Sometimes these can raise doubts but how can I leave PRabhupad and my Guru's lotus feat. I have heard crazy stories since then and about then. I mean about how people were stealing disciples and such. I hope I dont do anything like this one day. Sometimes these things can be overwhelming too. I also see that they like coming for prasadam and not much else. Oh well, Hare Krsna

So it was originaly Chennai then changed into Madras and now back to Chennai right? THank you very much

wow this is a nice and intriguing article. It doesnt say one word about relationship with Krsna though! Now what is Higher, Kriya Yoga or bhakti yoga? Also is this babaji still around now or something?

wow at first I wasnt sure if we were on the same page. However I quickly understood what you meant. Yes I have wasted my time the last few years but I am trying to recover now. However when I went to the site I coudnt copy and paste the article as it woudnt let me so I just gave you the address I hope you had luck looking at it. I will be ok, I just found out more news today so things are not as much as a burden anymore although i did have an argument with my parents this morning. Anyways chastisment accepted and understood.

Now I am curious about something, I have seen cities in India change names. Like Bombay to its original name now Mumbai, Calcutta to Kolkata now I ask this question next because my teacher asked me to find out. He was a asking what the city of Chenai was called before. Just curious Hare Krsna

Yes BhaktiMarg Swami ended his walk in Vancouver this past week. He gave a class in which he told stories of his walk. Very nice Hare Krsna

His Guru's name is Swami Yogeshwaranda Hare Krsna

http:/rickymartinonline.com/news/2002stories/june/elnuevodia.html That is the website, I coudnt copy and paste the section where he said he went to India. He got Initiated by Swami Yogeshwara. He apparently Practices Kriya Yoga after which in brakets it says "do whatever you want with your soul" How do I paste on his html site properly and such. Let me know.

That was a very nice way to glorify the holy name of krsna. I have one question however, Now with Karma Kanda and such what if someone considers that devotion. I mean all it is is a ritualistic process. How is chanting different from a ritualistic process, I mean how is that considered devotional and karma kanda ritualistic? I think its a silly question yet I still feel like asking Hare Krsna

That was very nice mataji. I wish I could contribute something like that for krsna. You have inspired me but I have no such devotion or ability. Heck I will just admire your work. Hare Krsna

This guest is totally blind. He says he likes Jndas because Jndas actually spent time in reading and replying to this persons arrogant comments. He feels that others are impatiant to just show how high above them all he is. He realised he cant touch Jndas so he is pretending to honour him. Talk about wolf in sheep clothing. Hare Krsna

Well Hare Krsna everyone I got some more good news. With the job front I have two positions which i can go for. The first is working at A&B sound and the other is working as a downtown ambassodor which pays 10.25 an hour. Also I found out that I dont even need a job to sponser my wife. So she will be here hopefully soon as krsna is showing me the light at the end of the tunnel Hare Krsna eveyone

.....a fool remains undetected until he opens his mouth. Or in the case for our 'guest' until he starts typing. Ghari, Priitha, Jndas very appropriate and well thoughtout replies. Now when this thread began I had an inclination about where this was heading. Lucky for me I had to take the bus but I now reaiise that this person who is having problems with the devotees egos and such is only because he is realising when he asks a question that he cannot take the answer humbely. The answer he gets is not what he wants to hear. He wants to feed his ego and along the lines of thinking himself as a great vaisnava he found out he actually wasnt. The reason you dont like the devotees is because you are envious of them. Now If you truly love krsna you must realise that Krsna did this to smash your ego. This was krsna's mercy so that you can better understand your culture. this was a great way to expose yourself. Now instead of wasting your time and blasphaming devotees and undermining Prabhupads position why dont you chant Hare Krsna. If you only thought of krsna as much as you thought of his devotees faults then you would turn out to be a great devotee. As for your dreams, I think helucinations dont count as Krsna. You are probably dreaming of yourself telling yourself that you are a great devotee. I dont see any devotion to krsna by your actions, rather someone who is in awe of himself and his devoted to feeding his ego. Be careful of Vaisnava aparadha. NO DEVOTEE HERE IS GOING TO TOLARATE THAT. I might not be a great devotee but you must realise something, and that is I wont stand for it. Krsna doesnt forgive you until the devotee forgives you. Hare Krsna

Krsna Das? That means servent of krsna Dinabandu, krsna's name which means friend of the fallen. Hari Bhakti sounds nice too I like my name which I got initiated with Haridham das. Which means servent of the abode of lord hari(krsna)

Today, I am taking a muslim friend to our Hare Krsna temple in burnaby. Not neccceraly for learning krsna consciousness but who knows, thats up to krsna but he is doing a project on Lord Ram and I thought to take him so he can talk to people and learn more. I personaly wont get involved with telling him or asking him anything about ramadan as I have posted here but keep it in a nice and friendly level. Hope it works. Hare Krsna

Hare Krsna Guestji. Thank you for your comments, I understand what you mean but i dont consider myself a good anything. Just trying to serve the lord wether you call him allah or krsna with the best of my abilities. You are right as in HK movment krsna is the centre all the time, not just once in the year to fast or five times a day. I guess each rule and regulation is given to people according to their natures. Hare Krsna

anyone have any comments or is this a subject that might end up blowing up on me or something? I hope to hear something Hare krsna

He must of had contact with Prabhupads books somehow or another. After all he knows the Hare Krsna mantra so its still good. I will try to find one of his booklets and find out. Hare Krsna

we shoudnt fear, krsna is powerful "Rakhe Krsna Mare Ke, Mare Krsna Rakhe ke after all it was Sri Visnu who cut of Rahu's head. I know because I was in a play about the churning of the ocean

Yeah I guess when Krsna says Throughout I all the vedas i am to be known and such he meant it. I am sure people are going to have various opionions on this. Thank you for your answer So i guess if you know krsna then there is no serious need to read the rest of the vedas. I mean you can read all the vedas and not understand or become devoted to krsna

that is funny, as you see I have followed you into this thread

your name mean? Its sounds like such a nice name

Hare Krsna everyone I am curious about this question because I know I dont know anything as I am not well versed in the vedas and such. I am wondering what is the main thing we are supposed to know. I mean I have seen many posts on here by people who have a lot of knowledge about things that I didnt even know to think about. So do we really have to know all this other stuff or bagavat gita, understanding we are not these bodies, knowing lord krsna is the supreme, serving guru and such things are enough. Far as I undestand I know the basics but not much more. I have been with Prabhupads movement since I was 9 and have learned a few things but now this question has arised. I mean i know a lot of people know so many stories and such but dont understand we are not these bodies etc so I hope you all understand what I am trying to ask Thank you Hare Krsna

They didnt say much, they just showed him with his hands in the pranam position while sitting down. There was like a fire sacrifice type thing and some guy doing a ceremony. It was a 1 minute piece. They mentioned he was in puri and he got a guru I dont know much more beyond that
