Yes welcome and we hereby invite all the young and fresh aspirants to teach the elders a thing or two. Haribol

valaya: I sense that you may appreciate the value of painful separation in love which enables each one of us to individually relate emotionally with Srimati Radharani. talasiga: I have no choice. Hilarious realism Not that I have one drop--- but too many tears coming. Talasiga, thanks for never answering where you are at. What then, if I never get a chance to share your company? Providence can be so cruel if not seen as our friend.

Dear Melvin, rather than be the judge I'll just commend you in propagating the Holy Name of Sri Krsna Chaitanya Mahaprabhu, this can bring nothing but good to the world if done sincerely, without speculation. And with the same motive as all our predesessor acharyas ie. To spread love and understanding of God unto others, to give relief to those struggling in a world of confusion. If you can shed a little light in anyones' consciousness, and help to break down sectarian or religious barriers founded on the bodily platform, you are doing a service to God and humanity, and it is to your credit that Gauranga utilize you as His vehicle, to bridge the difference in faith by focusing on the common threads of all, not emphasizing the differences that divide one against the other. I'm curious to know what sort of response you draw to your writing contributions? Personally I feel more of such dispensation should be practiced by Mahaprabhus devotional community to spread his message of mercy to every heart, for in Him lies the key to Absolute harmony. Rather than conflicting amongst ourselves if we could galvenize the glorious gift He has bestowed upon us to spread the waves of Krsna Consciousness far and wide, there would be far less misery and suffering all round. There are so many out there in need of relief and each small drop of His divine glories can bring infinite nourishment to the whole environment. Devotional disspensation is it's own sweet reward. Srila Sridhara Maharaj would simply say, 'Give and get." For the more we try to give what we have in our hand the more Krsna will increase our capacity. You give all your brightness away and it only makes you brighter.

Back on the leaky boatto Jagganath Puri but will they give us refugee status?

Excuse me for posting these couple of posts mixed in with these other posts on 'sexism and related topics' there is absolutely no relationship of the divine with some of these personal experiences so if it is possible I will try to edit my contributions off the thread some how. Dandavats to the ladies and gentlemen Madhavi long time no hear How are you and yours. Gotta fly now.

Keep it amicable folks. [This message has been edited by dasanudas (edited 09-28-2001).]

This post has been changed for the reasons given below. Thank you for your understandings. [This message has been edited by dasanudas (edited 09-28-2001).]

Hmmm not a good sign. It's a very bizarre place Afghanistan, there are nationalities from all over the planet even English who have joined this guys sect and his cause. When it comes down to it, it seems he's just another charismatic fannatic who has harnested a movement of rebelious spirit to overthrow what they see as an unsatisfactory system, only difference is that he has had the wealth to materialise a powerbase, that has caught the world by surprise. There's every chance he and many that follow him may be smacked out, or at least stoned which may account for that placid look about him and much of the irrationality of many that follow this path. As we know this place is riddled with it and they all claim they are cleaning up to please the world community but itis almost their lifeblood. Personally I think wipe out the dope and a lot of strange behaviour pattens will disapear. Hmmmm had a feeling he might have been vegetarian as there are many there who live on very simple vego. diets like the middle eastern vegetarians who live on dried fruit, nuts and milk. Better change your tac at work now folks if that info. seeps out.

Now you might hear laughing, singing, spinning maddly across the sun It's not aimed at any one It's just looking for the fun. Does the Doggeral Palace have a fall-out shelta? It may be time to hit the bunkers I hear sirens everywhere.

Here's a young guy just asking for a simple bit of guidance in increasing his faith. Why do some on this forum have to turn his heart and mind into another battlefield, I think it would serve new people who visit this place if the regulars who take pleasure in duelling with each other keep it on threads that carry that mood, or maybe there should be a place devoted to War, difference, dissention, offence,vindictiveness, scorn, argument, slander, and all the other stuff and anyone who has some, can hang out there and dump on each other, or if one wakes up in another bad day you just get into it with others in that mood, down at the dumping ground, call it 'Kuruksetra'. It may well be the flavour of the month, but don't some of you ever grow tired of it? Can't we change channels. It just makes me wonder if others may wish to participate here, but they've got to wait for a moment to come in between bullets and suicide bombings, we don't deny this is the nature of the world and the age we're living in and perhaps some don't wish others to taste this particular kind of KC, but according to my understanding this example isn't the Krsna Consciouness that most are searching for. I just request of the contributors to give the newcomers a chance to even get in the door. Is this unreasonable to ask for just a little discernment where devotees have their skirmishes, or am I just out of step with the rasa. I have to excuse myself for expressing this on Sanjays thread, but he must be asking himself what a lot of it has to do with his question, so I hope you are still with us and the responses haven't blown you away.

One thing is certain, When Mr.& Mis ogenist come together. They never gonna make happy little bhaktas

I'm into it let's loot and plunder The golden guys' vault! And spread the booty round a bit. I'm tired of being a bankrupt pauper!

Dear Serona, You may try this contact in the postcard section. What do you actually need? I have a vast personal collection of Mahaprabhu prints, if you like give me your email and I could send you a few Ys dasanudas http://www.vina.org/index.html

xcuse the belated response here guys but I wrote it straight after Audarya Prabhu posted and then got diverted for a day before I could return anyway looks like JR has seized the ball and danced with it,doesn't she get excited? I had a few similar sparks along the same line. Maybe we should start a confessional booth here, any suggestions for a pastor? Wherever Maitreya may be, if he sees this, I take the opportunity to wish him the most eventful pilgrimage. I hope he's got a laptop and can give us a roving report on the Holy Dharm. May Guru and gauranga open every door to the sacred sites. Send us all some manah caramrtam.

Hey Shvu, Dandavats This is one of the nicest posts I've seen you give us here at Audaryya Fellowship. A pure gem. And I sincerely offer my pransms to such eloquent sentiments. Your servant too, Das

Just a short follow up to this extended post of yours. What you say about no one knows when the time of death arrives, therefore we should utilize every moment we have in our hand to re-establish our loving relationship with the Lord of our heart. It isn't necessary to put education on hold as it can go hand in hand with development of your Krsna consciousness. All education can be utilized in the service of the Lord and many of our acharyyas, ie teachers by example, were well educated but at the same time nurtured their tendancies towards Krsna consciousness. I know many devotees who dovetail much of their assignments at school to Krsna consciousness helping everyone in their class and sometimes beyond. It isn't recommended to become overly fanatical but if you take the essence of Krsna consciusness which is to love God and likewise love others to the best of your ability. This will no doubt affect all your friends and contemporaries. At the same time Krsna gives real intelligence and may well help your grades at school.

Dear Sanjay, Greetings to you and welcome to these forums. As much as some people may discourage you in your quest for Krsna, there are many well-wishers who will encourage and help increase your faith as Audaryya-Lila Prabhu has stressed. Good association is very important in Krsna consciousness. The sabateurs of faith will always be there and there is an art in side stepping them. Recognize them and try to gravitate to those your heart directs you to. In the beginning stages of Krsna consciousness one can go through an offensive transition before we become more tolerant, humble and honourable to others. Real Krsna consciousness when you study it, you will find that the closer one moves to divinity the further away you may feel, therefore it is not altogether incorrect to feel I have no faith or love for Krsna. But if one is feeling they know Krsna so well, so close to him, and that we are already saved we should exercise a little caution with such sentiments. Our highest teacher's example in the line of Krsna consciousness that we follow through Chaitanya Mahaprabhu, whether it be Chaitanya Himself, Srimati Radharani, Krsna's most beloved or Srila RAghunath das Goswami and Srila Rupa Goswami, all taught that they have no love for Krsna when actually they were fully absorbed in pure unadulterated prema, ie divine love. This is the sign of a genuine vaishnava. No false prestige. So if you are sincerely wanting your faith to develop full bloom and become a tangible reality in your life, not just another belief system that is temporary, it is recommended to find the company of genuine sadhus, ie sadhu-sanga, from this company bhajana-kriya is increased,which is the process many of us here follow of regularly hearing, chanting and remembering the pastimes of the Lord. From bhajana-kriya comes anartha-nivrtti,where the unwanted bad habits in our life and the undesireable things that plague our heart are eliminated through practicising sadhana bhakti. This leads eventually to getting a sustained unshakeable confidence in the eternal reality of the Lord and an incomparable taste that will make all previous experience pale into insignificance. As one surrenders further unto the will of the Supreme Lord further steps are revealed by His Divine Grace which ultimately leads to pure love and devotion which is truly what this Gaudiya Vaishnavism is all about. There is much wonderful literature to confirm and support your progress along the way. Through the loving connections you make to various devotees of Sri Krsna, you may be referred to many of these writings that will further give joy to your devotional life. You sound very fortunate at such a young age to have some attraction through your past sukrti ie pious merits, to this life-giving path. Try not to be deterred or discouraged by any opposition and those who may play the devil's advocate on your path. It just makes it all the more valuable when you overcome these obstacles. I hope you can keep visiting this forum and look forward to your continued contribution. If there is any way we can be of some assistance, please feel free to ask. Sanjay: Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong. If I could ever one day have the same degree of faith and belief some of you Vaishnava guys have in here one day, that would just be a miracle. Das: Not necessarily that you are doing anything wrong, it's just in the system of vaishnavism that we try to aspire to, it is generally recommended that for the Holy Name of Krsna to truly blossom in your life that one approach a genuine spiritual teacher who themselves are experiencing Krsna , not whimsically but with sincere submission and enquiry, and from them one can receive the seed of real Krsna consciousness. The nectar of the Name is transferred from one who has it, from master to disciple. As you may be familiar this is called the parampara system where the disciple attains a connection to a line of spiritual saints that Krsna comes to us through, somewhat like your electrical current when your house is connected to the power supply. Through the agents of that company all facilities will start to work so your chanting will have more potency. Sincerity is the key. Always at your service Mr das Thank you dearly for your well wishes and likewise we wish you all the best. Gaur Hari

You betta watch out for those 'rainbow warriors, capn' they're out to take over the world, let's nuke 'em just in case? And watch that shadow behind you it looks like it's emitting gas. Did y' see that? Spoooooky !!!!! L n' L n' L' n'Lol and just a few tears. Madam Maya and paranoia are doin' their jobs so well. Meanwhile; The holy name of Krsna cleanses the mirror of the heart and existinguishes the fire of misery in the forest of birth an death. As the evening lotus blooms in the moon's cooling rays the heart begins to blossom in the nectar of the Name. And at last the soul awakens to its real inner treasure - a life of love with Krsna. Again and again tasting nectar, the soul dives and surfaces in the ever-increasing ocean of ecstatic joy. All phases of the self of which we may conceive are fully satisfied and purified, and at last conquered by the all-auspicious influence of the holy Name of Krsna. Krsna's pastimes are the essence of nectar. O dear devotees, please come! Ask the swan of your mind to swim in the nectarlake of the life and precepts of Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu. There, hundreds of streams of that nectar are flowing in all directions. [This message has been edited by dasanudas (edited 09-25-2001).]
