    Well guest, how do you know about them anyways.

     

    Ghari, you think i should work for them.

     

    I saw one of the guys there yesterday and his eyes seemed like they werent blinking at all. Actually i was supposed to go for my brainwashing today but instead decided to go to school and low and behold the lady called me from there.

     

    Anyways, what do u guys think. I should see the video? Work for them or not?

     

    It feels quite uncomfortable but i have no fear i have krsna.

  2. Hare krsna everyone.

     

    As you all know I am looking for a job. Two days ago I saw a sign that said "Now Hiring"

     

    To my surprise it was the Church Of Scientology. ANyways I went in with an open mind as I didnt know much about it but when I got the application form it asked me the weirdest questions.

     

    Anyways It was a weird Experiance.

     

    I am wondering if anyone knows more about it. They want to show me a video tomorrow before i work there. I guess my schedualed brain washing is at 10am. Should I work for them. What exactly are they about.

     

    thanks Hare krsna.

  3. Yes they are correct. If they wanted their culture they should stay in india. I mean they come here to make money and "enjoy" because they think their culture doesnt offer real "enjoyment"

     

    Ofourse if only they knew a little bit about their own culture.

     

    Funny thing is most westerners are following eastern culture and most easterners are following western culture

  4. That was a very nice article you sent me prabhuji.

     

    I know that we should respect everyone no matter what and trust me I do. Its jus that they get upset at us or me when I am chanting(on beads, on the street and by myeslf) or reading PRabhupads books and when they critize me its ok. BUt when they blasphame the devotees I cant stand that.

     

    I love my devotees. I love prabhupad. WHen they critize no matter where I am if I am of hearing distance I will defend them.

     

    I have heard the saying that if someone blasphames the devotess and you are there you either walk away, defend them or cut their tounges of and kill yourself.

     

    Now, there are a lot of people who i would love to cut the tounges off of(hahaha just a joke) but I wont. So i rather just defend Srila Prabhupad and the house that he built.

     

    Surely if someone came inside your house and was attacking it you would want to protect it right?

  5. and i mean even today when even arranged marriages are sorted out the bride and groom are doing it because of sexual attraction and not neccerily because of the vedic custom.

     

    I mean if you ask them why are they getting married or what is the purpose of marriage they dont know.

     

    I mean they think its a free ticket to sex.

     

    So now its all messed up


  6. Hare krsna everyone. This is Haridham

     

    I am just curious, what do the vedas state about love marriages and dating in comparison to arranged marriages.

     

    From what I understand is that arranged marriage is a recent thing, meaning only a few thousand years old.

     

    We always hear of people falling in love in the vedas and such.

     

    So whats the exact story.

  7. Well, just always remember that there is always going to be people who wont understand you. Thats natural. Thats human nature. DOnt let others sway the choice you make.

     

    Poeple are going to remain the way they are until they realise they are no these bodies.

     

    God has many names, Allah, Jehova, krsna, rama but ultimatly there is only one god just many different names for him according the relationship you have with him.

     

    Yes Keep God in the centre of your marriage.

     

    If Krsna(god) brought you it, he will bring you through it.

     

    You must remember one thing:

     

    Marriage is about accepting and not expecting.

  8. This topic is quite sensative for a lot of people, when i first read that i cringed but then i was like, you two are grown adults, you love each other and best of all you are not these bodies.

     

    Neither of you are hindu or muslim.

     

    Whatever you call god, be it krsna or allah

     

    As long as you have your heads together then thats what matters.

     

    The only thing I look for is similar lifestyles. You can believe in any god or religion you want but if your lifestyle isnt the same there might be issues.

     

    Good luck.

  9. I think Rams Lila is amazing.

     

    He also woshiped Shiva. Thes are great pastimes amongst devotees.

     

    Just like when Krsna was the Chariot Driver of Arjuna. It wasnt because Arjuna was higher then him but because Arjuna was his friend and devotee.

     

    Durga and Shiva are great devotees as well and Ram has his pastimes with them as well.

     

    If anyone can put more clarification on this please do so.

  10. Hare krsna everyone.

     

    This is my 100th post. Wow only yesterday i was just barely crawling. Now I have written a hundred posts.

     

    ANyway...On to the show.

     

    Todays episode.....Haridham talks to a "Hindu" priest.

     

    Well, I had just come home from my morning japa walk and low and behold there was this "hindu" priest at my house watching tv. Anyways I siad "oh hare krsna" to which he stared blankly at me, I guess he thought i was the tv.

     

    Anyways, I was heading to my room and he said "oh you are a Hare krsna devotee"? I said "ofcourse"

     

    He looked at my hand which had my japa bag and just basically stared blankely at them trying to formulate in his mind what could a 23 year old(i was 23 when this happend) possibly know or do with japa or his own culture.

     

    Surely I should be partying, drinking, having sex, gambling or eating meat somewhere. Kinda like his own kin. Anyways I say this because I found out later that he drinks and so do most of his family members but just is well versed in the vedas.

     

    So when I came back out to go to work. He asked me "You Iskcon Hare Krsna's only worship krsna, why is that when there is the rest of the vedas you dont know aboutwhat about the Gods and goddesses and other rituals like daily puja" he continued.

     

    He, with my parents seem to laugh at this 23 year old for not knowing anything. He was just like "these goras(white devotees) dont know anything".

     

    So ofcourse I wasnt just going to let him get away with this.

     

    I told him "well, Krsna says in the Bhagavat Gita that throught all the vedas I am to be known" I continued "he also said not to be confused by the flowery words of the vedas"

     

    He just stared at me so i thought I might as well keep talking and said "See, all these pujas you do is called karma kanda and according to the gita worshiping of demigods and karma kanda is done by less intelligent people"

     

    I continued "also these "goras" that you talk about have taught me more about my culture then any "hindu" ever has".

     

    "plus, we are not these bodies, so when you blasphame these devotees you are commiting the worst sinful act"

     

    He felt quite ashamed and i just look, you are a pundit but why dont you actually teach the main part of the vedas and not just something easy and is popular with the vedas.

     

    Ofcourse him and I got to know each other more and he says he respects iskcon now.

     

    I just sometimes get frustrated because these people are misleading people where as we are doing something great for society.

     

    I guess if its not in their karma to recieve this knowledge what can you do.

     

    We have Srila Prabhupads mercy.

     

    Now i didnt write this to piss anyone off or be disrespectful to anyone. Just sharing something with devotees who probably have had similar things happen to them.

     

    Hare krsna
