Haridham

well i am glad i wont be going to hell for biting my nails then.

the reason i say that is that so when people feel offended i can tell them that they are not hindus but spirit soul. We are not these bodies and a comment such as that shoudnt be offensive because when someone calls me a hindu i find that offensive. The bhagavat gita nor any other sastra has the word hindu there so why get so hung up on it. I feel that word is a derogoraty term. It doesnt exist. Just chant instead and dont let something small as this offend you. I think by the time i check this again i will be bombarded with "lovely" replies. Anyways, i still love you all. Especially the "h" word people. Hare Krsna

Thank you very much for your kind words. You are like a father to me. Always with your advice and keeping me in the right track. I was going through something emotional at the time i wrote this and I know I will go through these again but thank you for your help. One thing that upset me was that all these things that are happening with krsna consciousness and such. Even in this forum I mean sometimes I write something and people dont reply so i am not sure where i stand as a devotee. How can I leave srila prabhupads isckon. I and other youths are the future of iskcon. Thank you Hare Krsna Prabhu.

Hare Krsna everyone. I am writing this to tell you all that I love you very much and I love lord krsna for all of you to come into my life. Although sometimes this forum can be complicated and sometimes I can get confused but I am glad I have a huge krsna consciouss family. I think part of this is because I read the recent back to godhead magazine and I loved it. Everyone should read it. I never knew africa and krsna consciousness are imbracing and lord krsna is allowing the devotees to spread the messege there. Yes I love everyone. You are all wonderful souls. I wish you would reply more to my threads but all is forgiving. I love you all....including you hindu's hahahhaha. Ofcourse I love you because you are not hindu's but spirit souls. Hare Krsna

I have heard many times about this. That if you are laying down or something and someone steps over you then you loose your height or duration of life. Is that true and how do you explain that to someone out in this world because some girls were talking about this at my work yesterday and someone said "yah thats makes a lot of sense" so let me know. Hare krsna

it will be easier for you to become a sanyassi.

to waste time. It is to serve krsna.

hare Krsna everyone. I dont know whats going with me someone is definetly testing my faith in everything especially ISKCON. I mean iskcon is in a mess. There is so much happening. From Narayan Marahaj, the ritvik situation and iskcons own personal problems amongst ourselves. Like the molestation case. I dont understand any of it. I dont really know what I am trying to say. I am just a bit confused about everything. I mean it all started with a few nights ago as I was watching tv and its all . everywhere. There is sex here and sex there. Some of my unintiated devotee friends always joke around with stuff such as this and especially tonight two of them were saying amongst themselves that you dont need a guru and something about Jagadish(ex sannyassi) who said bad things about iskcon. I dont think I can leave prabhupads movement but..... I think basically that this is a test by krsna to clear my doubts. maybe i should doubt my doubts and believe my beliefs. Help me if you think I need it. I think I am fried.

.......to get the attention away from his face. Hare Krsna

I wasnt trying to say anything offensive t towards Lord Jesus Christ but I dont think I am intelligent enough to explain what i mean. It seams like i am always offending someone. People only reply to me when they think I am offensive but not much any other time. Anyways, what I meant thiest ji was that this perticular person has no respect for the culture she was in because she didnt understand it. Thats all.

its funny because people think that someone produces ashes he is god. Krsna created universes,killed demons as an infant,created universes at a glimse of his lotus eyes. Now if sai "afro" baba could lift the gorvardhan hill with his pinky then that would be impressive but he cant even stop himself from getting old. There are so many gurus in india with siddhis and they dont claim to be god. Why does "afro(you know u stole that from me right)baba claim to be god. Have you seen that afro and that face. How would u want to spend eternity with him. If he were god he would have a better hair style. Hare Krsna.

.....why is the word abbriviation so long? The word that means that something short for something is so long.

.....are out there? I didnt even know some of them existed until i came to this site. Its all quite confusing at times. I have heard that there are 18 puranas divided into 3 groups of 6. 6 in mode of ignorance, 6 in the mode of passion 5 in the mode of goodness and 1(Srimad Bhagavatam) in the mode of trencendence. LEt me know more Hare Krsna

I think since being a guju and watching seinfeld and since intaracting with some jewish people i think we can be brothers. What were we talking about again? Oh yeah, jesus christ coming into the heart of a "krsna devotee" Well, someone who probably didnt practice krsna consciousness with sincerity and properly and someone who didnt want to surrender to krsna and follow something that had less philosophy then what can u do

Hare Krsna everyone. To all you regulars from Ghari,Thiest,mother prithaa and all the rest thank you very much for your help. Thanks alot for your encouragment and kind words. Yes, I have resent the papers to immigration and now the waiting game has actually begun. Remember how it was when I first came to this forum and I was lost, emotional and hurt. Well you guys have helped so much. My wife will be here soon. Now pray that its fast rather then slow. I dont know how many times I will be writing here but I am glad I have had this experiance in life to share with you all. Your replies are welcome Hare Krsna

He was in Vancouver the last few days. I didnt get a chance to see him or hear much from him. There was some news clips of him saying somethings which I didnt find to profound but I dont know much about him. ANyone wanna enlighten me.

Hare Krsna. I have recently felt that I am letting myself and fellow vaisnavas down. I believe that I am loosing my strength, spiritual strenght anyways. I mean I am still Chanting, going to the temple as much as I can (atleast every sunday) following the four regs, association with devotees etc but I remember before I could preach very nicely. Now I have forgotten a lot. Although yesterday I just distributed a Bhagavad gita to someone at work and he gave me 20 dollars. I think because of this marriage situation it has put my spiritual intelligence on the backburner and as I have focused most of my life on my spiritual endevours I think maybe krsna is making me strong materialy so I can understand my surroundings so I know what I will be fighting with. Hmmmm, i think i just answered my own question. Pleae let me know what you all think. Krsna is the strength of the strong and he carries what I lack and preserve what I have...right???? Ofcourse.

wow i never knew barney the purple dinasour was interested in the vedas. I love you, you love me are an ignorant family.

Well, I know that I need to be more humble and such but if that what this dream was trying to do it didnt work. I am still really focused on serving krsna the way I am. I am not humble in some people's eyes and I am in others. I have to adhere to my nature. Even if my nature is very fallen. Hare Krsna

tried to get me. hahahaha. They are my achilies heel or kryptanite(sp) I dont hate or dislike hindu's. I hate punjabi's, muslims, and other indians equally, lol. Uh oh, there is a hindu under my bed. I think it has nothing to do with this and I dont hate indians of any kind. I come from an indian background my self and I dont like people who haress the devotees. If anything this dream was to try to see if I had faith in krsna or not. I dont hate anyone.

Its good to know that I am safe. This was the first and only time something like this has happened. People have tried to do crazy things to me while thinking that i never knew but I knew. I just kept chanting. Thats all I do. I dont know how my sadhana is but I chant, pay obesensies to my guru, always attend the temple and follow the four regs. If thats counts for sadhana then thats great and if it doesnt then i am screwed. I havent had anymore of these dreams since then. Krsna is the strength of the strong. Hare Krsna

Hare Krsna everyone. I have just a question after I had this weird, wacky and scary dream. I dreamt that I was possessed by something. It was a very exhausting dream where in the dream i wake up in my room and get possessed again. It felt as if I was awake in my room. I woke said Hare Krsna and went to bed. This is was odd because before I went to bed last night i was remembering a time when some of the so called pundits in india who claim to have demigoddes and such posses them and how silly the idea was. Any connection? I sleep under Lord Narshimadev so I think something might have tried to posses me but I was protected by lord Narsimhadev. Let me know what you all think. Hare Krsna

hare krsna everyone. I knew what most of you were going to say so today I just kept quite and nothing happened. We come from two different worlds and heading in two different directions. Hare Krsna

Hare Krsna Guest Prabhu. I know that I am quite harsh with the indian community. Its just that I have grown up around indian people and then the devotees and it upsets me sometimes how the indian people treat devotees and what they think about them etc. They often say these goras(white people) dont know what they are doing yadada yada but I know this is not everyone and when I do say anything about "them" I dont mean all indians but just the typical indians. I know many nice indians and i agree that not all of them are that way. Its just that coming from an indian background they always ridicule me for associating with devotees. I mean I dont smoke, drink, do drugs nor am i in the newspaper for some crazy reason but oh no, associating with devotees is bad. That is somethign I dont like. Anyways, hope that is a bit of a satisfaction. Hare Krsna

I have some things to say about Vipramukya swami. First I know him quite well as he stayed in vancouver and where I had constant association with him. It was his encouragment that I became a devotee. He is responsible for a lot of the youths in iskcon vancouver to develop their spiritual life. I remember in 1992 when I was confused at what to do he encouraged me to go to Padayatra. Since that day and since having his association for about 2 weeks during that padayatra my devotional life started. So who cares if he has "fallen" Its kali yuga. Krsna will never foget what he is doing. I am sure he will start his next life as a devotee. look for the good things devotees do like bees attracted to honey instead of find fault and like fly's who are attracted to stool. I owe my whole devotional life to Vipramukya swamil.
