Haridham

Hare Krsna everyone. I have just a question. I sometimes fall into discussions which are often started by other people at work and sometimes people are suprised by what i said. Some of the white bodied people are more inquisitive then the indian folk. Which i find to typical now. No offense anyone. Just a question though. There is this indian girl who constantly tells me that being bramacari is useless. It started because I mentioned it ONCE. She is not much into religion. She claims to be hindu only because she is married to one(she happens to be from a punjabi background) ANyways she says things like bramacari's dont contribute anything to society, its not good to be a bramacari and what if the whole world becomes a bramacari then how will the society function and other ridiculus questions. Anyways, what should i tell this girl. No matter i say she keeps coming back with more nonsense. Its quite annoying. Hope to hear from you all. hare krsna.

....i coudnt fast. I tried but I eventually broke. I only chanted 16 rounds which takes me until midnight anyway since i have two jobs. I tried but i am in a heliish condition. Thank you for all your reply's. More reply's are welcome. Hare Krsna

I understand that tomorrow/today is ekadasi. BUt I have a delema. As most of you know i am working two jobs. So its hard for me to fast since my job requires me to talk a lot and I need energy. Any suggestions I would love to hear from you all. Hare Krsna

He is trying to impress you. All his mundane tricks wont work on you because you are to powerful for that compare to other girls that are out there but he has no bhakti or else he woudnt do all these things. I can see his pick up line. "Hey baby, lets go to my room and read the bible" He he. When I was younger (well i am 25 now) a girl approached me when i was sitting on a book table at my temple and told me that she has read this book, and that book, and this one, and that one over there. BUt i was like uh...ok....cool. He is trying to impress you but i woudnt fall for that. Krsna is testing you. Hare Krsna

Well, I am glad I made you feel better. I think I am just being sincere when I say you are a big part of this major play. I hope my wife is that easy to make feel better as well. Yes once she sees the surroundings and the devotional atmosphere I think things will change in her life for sure. Krsna has his ways of working things. I dont know what my folks will think but my first duty is my wife. If they dont smarten up then its their loss. Say hari bolo to Pritthaa mataji for me. Thanks for you constant support and hers. Hare Krsna

This wonderful pastime has many characters and uncle ji hariji you are already a big player. Your kind and encouraging words have helped me along in this great script but this is just before the intermission. In four months the intermission will start and then new scenes will take place. I wish not to break your heart nor your wallet. If you can attend my marriage ceremony when we redo our wedding vows then that would be a great help. Come. Please. One thing though is that I havent told my wife that I have plans to redo my wedding vows or get married infront of sri sri radha madhan mohan because I am afraid of her reaction. I am thinking let her come here, become familiar with everything and then eventually ask her. What do you think? I dont want to ruin anything although i have given her hints such as i have always wanted to do everything infront of sri sri radha madan mohan since i was 11. How is Mother Prittaa by the way. Hare Krsna

your way to much ghari ji. This really makes me love srila prahupad and his devotees even more but I must decline your offer. You are doing way to much. YOu hardly know me. I am a total stranger. Why give so much. Please accept my humble obesensies. I hope to see you in vancouver hopefully sooner rather then later and give you a nice hug and say vancha kalpa to you. Maybe I should post my picture up here. Anyways, everything is on its way now to immigration and now its finally just a waiting game.

arent they impersonlists? I heard some swami narayan group spread hate flyers of iskcon devotees during a time when the devotees were on harinam. They have a beautiful temple but no diety of god or anything.

My wife actually wants me to save all my money instead of sneding anything to her. OUr relationship is getting stronger but we have to take care of our material issues right now. She just wants me to call her from time to time. Oh and i recieved her pictures so as soon as fix what i need to fix i will send everything to her. Oh and yea about the above comment i made about the verses you gave me. Can you help me out with that. ANyways, hope to hear from you. Hare KRsna

Hare Krsna Ghari Ji. Wow that was some intense reading. I will read it again later. But I am afraid to send this to my wife as it will be hard for her to understand all this to fast. I hope you know what I mean. Anyways some of this really seems like its not that Krsna Consciouss to me. More of Karma Kanda. But I guess I dont know what I am talking about. About the burden thing I thought that was the todays indians thing and they definatly follow this in some extreme manner. I dont know, my heart is hard to accept this. I think its better to find a krsna consciouss husband or atmosphere. I mean i guess i dont know how to respond i guess. I mean I like the verse 5.5.18. ANyways, write back when you get a chance, hare Krsna

well that guess got me quite excited. ANyways, it everything a month before they sent me the file number. This time everything will go to africa and dealt with there. The reason why I dont have the pictures alreadly is because when I first told her about the two small problem about the pictures is that originaly she got pictures taken but they were wrong and then when she took them again they got lost by mail so now she is sending them again. So they should be here by friday. Its not all that crazy. I talked to immigration and they told me everything is perfect just the two small problems but other then that its ok. I have already idiot proofed everything. it should only take a few months(4) and she will be here by Janmastami and Rathayatra. What a way to come to canada eh. Right in time for the aweseme festivals. When the temple will be buzzing with people, devotees everywhere and the festival of india people will come. What could be a better way to introduce her to krsna consciousness. hare Krsna Haridham

well these people are confused and led by the wrong people. People dont want success for her and her family. I dont know if you know the whole story which has been dragging for about a year now but its indian politics. I am sure you understand what I mean. Anyways, they arent familiar with krsna consciousness and krsna bhakti. They are the typical indian of now a days. Things are improving though

I was in Vrndavan last year. I was surprised to see a muslim communinity there. The holiest place in the world was degraded by a muslim smoking. I was appalled at first and I know there is a lot of muslim bashing happening right now and i think the muslim poster's intention was exactly that. That we forget about krsna and talk about his nonsense instead. Anyways, I was really mad at first seeing him and his sidekick goat which has probably already faced his dimise in vrndavan but then I thought it was krsna's mercy that he was there. I hope he gets benefit but i still dont like them seeing there. There will be an eventual war if more of them start coming there with their goat sidekicks. Anyways, lets focus on krsna instead of cobras.

....open a temple in madagascar eventually. Weather its me and my wife or other devotees but soon there will be one. Right now as you say krsna has other plans for us. We are not sure what the exact date is when she will be here because she hasnt sent me the pictures yet but as soon as she will send me her pictures i have to write something in the back and then its just a waiting game. SO are you certain that it is only going to take 7 weeks after everything is sent? Let me know so I can tell her that. She has emailed me and just said that she is feeling uneasy for some reason but doesnt know why. She wants my morale support which I will always give her She is saying as time is passing it is very difficult for her to live without me. So when she is anxiety I am in anxiety. ALthough I am so far away i still feel her pain like a sharp arrow is peircing me. Its just a flesh wound though, krsna is guiding this ship and the shore is within site. Let me know with more quotes please. Hare Krsna Haridham

You know its interesting how fanatical some of these so called muslims get when people of other faiths are around. On new years harinam this past december, we were walking around granville street with a massive new years harinam when we reached a section which had a lot of people and clubs etc, etc, etc. Our kirtans blew peoples minds away and many people joined in. However I spotted these two muslim guys with beer bottle's in their hands came in from one of the clubs and started saying "allah" and "kalistan" and why we should become muslim to us. Also they started to grab one our ladies which got a reaction from me since I was the closest I asked them if allah was in that club which they came from. I asked them if they were muslim before they went to the club or after. I told them not to touch our matajis and they didnt have much to say and we continued with our chanting and me keeping an eye on them. So thats something I had to share. Hare Krsna

Wow this "gentleman" has not done his homework has he. I am sure he has fooled many others in other "hindu" websites but he has no clue that we are in the army of Srila Prabhupad. Wow amazing. I find it funny that after commiting acts such as suicide which not only kills them but hundreds of innocent people all I have heard is that they go to heaven to enjoy with 75 virgins. What about serving Allah? Isnt that more important then having 75 virgins? ANyways, please rant on with more of your quotes which only exposes the incompetence of what you are following. Hare Krsna

Well, she has faith in me(i hope) and she is developing faith in krsna. Her problem is that her parents are in anxiety over many things. First the fact she is still there "being a burden to them" as the local people(of the same cast) are saying stupid things which anger's her father and he gets angry at her. Secondly is that the shop that the parents are leasing is owned by some people who are harrssing them about money and they are having money problems. Her father has high blood pressure and gets upset easily. I emailed her and told her to have faith in krsna as he is the controller and he will take care of everything. I told her that to tell her father to chant hare krsna and things will be ok. Also to discontinue their association with the people from that cast .. I think Madagascar is overdue for a temple of lord krsna by prabhupad. What do you think? ANyways email me your replies. Hare Krsna

Hare Krsna everyone. I really like where this movie is heading. I read the link on the above post and it was awseme. How all the cast and crew loved the devotees. Thats awseme. There should be an actual movie about us. It would rock.

Hare Krsna everyone. Can someone give me any quotes from the gita, or bhagavatam or other vedic sastras on how to help my wife with her anxiety. I mean encouraging words in the bagavat gita etc, etc etc. I hope everything is well with everyone. Everything is ok on this end its just that my wife is in anxiety over things so I hope i can recieve a lot of quotes when i return to this site. Hare Krsna

about my friends stating that this statement.... ....Just try to learn the truth by approaching a spiritual master. Inquire from him submissively and render service unto him. The self-realized souls can impart knowledge unto you because they have seen the truth. doesnt neccesarily mean that krsna says without a guru you cannot go back to godhead. What can we reply to that? All of Prabhupads purports I guess? Let me kow

If this is something that krsna desires right now then it shall happen. Just depend on krsna I guess.

After the installation ceremony and other prophecies by Bhaktivinoda thakur coming true. I am certain that the golden age is just about to start. There is much fear and worry by some everywhere and including in this website of what is going to happen but Srila Prabhupad and lord krsna are guiding us. Those who have left will come back. Those who are no longer with us will continue to guide us. We are going to be around for 10,000 years folks. There are bound to be some bumps on the road but the road is long and we have come so far already to go back. The future of iskcon and Sanatan Dharma is bright. There are many youth out there who are striving to preserve this movement. These youth are the future of iskcon. Chant hare krsna. We are the future of iskcon. Hare Krsna Haridham

Hare Krsna everyone. During the week of Ramnavmi, I had an interesting idea. Actually it was in my head for a long time but never found the right time to express it. I wanted to do a krsna consciouss tv show for the longest time. There were so many indian tv shows in vancouver but all of them dealing with Bollywood movie .. Some so called spiritual shows were on but had no clue about vedic culture and instead were on the topic of "hinduism" and how its about unity and look within but no explanation from the bhagavad gita or the fact that we are an eternal spirit soul just my grandfather says "hinduism" is about unity etc. So i thought we should do a show in vancouver and one of the temple people gave me a contact last night during ramanavmi after i explained to him my desire of a tv show. The person he gave me the contact of knows how to get me into radio. I think its a good thing to your foot into the door what do you guys think? Should i go ahead and see what lord krsna has in store? I want the youth to lead the show, maybe I can be the host and some of the Sanyassis can be special guests etc. One day it will take off and we might be on prime time competing with the popular tv shows for who has the bast ratings. We will be the real reality show. Hope to hear from you all. Hare Krsna

Hanuman last night in Vancouver on our Ramnavmi play. It was incredible. Sri RamChandra ki jai. Hare Krsna Haridham

Thank you Ghari ji. I read everything word for word. It was very nice what you explained to me. I wish I wasnt so dull headed because I am sure to forget about 90 percent of what is on there. Oh well, I will read it again and I have this site to come back too. You clearly showed me in the first verse Srimad Bhagavatam 8.20.1 in prabhupads purports he says that according to sastra the duty of a guru is to take the discpile home, back to godhead. All other verses followed basically matched that. I also realise now the verse from the srimad bhagavatam about gurur na tasyat.....about someone cannot be a guru unless one can take his dependent/disciple back to godhead.(Sb.5.5.18) So thank you Ghari ji. I hope to hear from you. Hare Krsna
