All good fun amongst Godfriends. I've been finding great pleasure in your healthy exchanges, very mature. And heartening to see that a conversation doesn't degrade into an insulting match, you guys have been holding an amicable thread together thru a troubled time in the collective psyche of the jivas lately. At least the fellowship hasn't blown out into some of the nastiness of the past. And it is a credit to you all to keep that psychological skin glowing for all concerned As many cave in under these difficult pressures where we see the best and worst of the human spirit manifest,I've just been smiling at all the wonderful input. Don't stop now keep it comin'. Excuse me if my little smilies have been taken in different ways.

I'll clarify any confusion in a letter to you shortly. I'm sure something can be worked out for the satisfaction of the vaisnavas.

Dear leyh If you referr to Psalms it asks us to Praise the names of the Lord with drums and symbols, I think. I don't have a bible on hand to check at this very moment. god has many Names. Hare Krsna.

Hare Rama Your post inadvertently helped me find a mantra I've been looking for.

\o/\o/ { } O / \/ \ Can't wait! Continue.

May God be with any devotee who may dare passage up or down the Kyber pass.

Thank you Jayaradhe and those on the job.

Ditto!!! doesn't Krsna work in weird and wonderful ways?

This sounds like a reasonable step in a progressive direction. What about the ones that may wish to hold on to the old ways, not prepared to adjust or search for a new synthesis of all of these previous Truths, won't they conflict with the new mob?

Brahma Prabhu dandavats, can I contact you thru Sanga Email address?

The heart of a vaisnava has an inbuilt language translator.

I meant to say, "where there is a will, there is a way."

We all use different weapons Prabhu.

Dear B Prabhu It's crossed my mind many a time, unfortunately that is as far as it gets. I have everything nicely designed almost ready to go, but if I do it, I want to do it properly. I have a bit of a mental block in the grey matter, that is holding me back. Trying to follow in m'daddies footsteps I aspire to 'Ideal Realism' but it's a big call. It's the technical side and how much time and cash I can invest in the internet at this point. On top of that prabhu there is some copywrite material on this disk. Not that I'm hoarding it, just that I don't wish to bring lawsuites down on others. If it were my call I'd distribute it far and wide, no worries. Providence looks after the hungry souls, I'm sure it will feed us all. 'A pure and strong heart is all-powerful!' ys Mkdas.

Now there's a mission for the brave at heart! This is sacrifice for the one you love. Mahaprabhus men Ki jaya. All glories to their divine service, no mistake about it. Glad someone is doing what I only aspire to.

This is from Golden Volcano which I have on CD along with most everything else of Srila S.M. and most works from all of our Acharyas. It isn't available commercially Prabhu It's kind of like an extended 'Gaudiya Kantahara'.

Just a few revelations from the heart of Srila Sridhara Maharaj, a pure vaisnava to add to your mala Prabhu “Every atom of our body should cry to embrace the corresponding atoms of Lord Krishna’s body.” “The witches of liberation and sense pleasure want to entice us away from our real wealth.” “When He arrives in your heart, all other businessmen will be driven away.” “Enemies will become my friends when my misunderstanding is vanquished.” “All are suffering from heart disease in this world.” “Man is the architect of his own fate, no one else is to be blamed.” “By helping others through kirttan, we can help ourselves. “Before doing good to others, you must know what is good.” “The real sadhus are our friends on the way to the Infinite.” “Your guardian loves you more than you can love yourself.” “We must try to keep strict company with the divine agents.” “Whoever can quench my inner thirst, they are my real master.” “The Vaisnava wants to live as a serving element of the whole, to love all, a friend to the whole environment.” “The special agents of that plane must come with help to reveal the Truth.” “Not only do they attract the divine service, but pure servitors feel they cannot live without that service, that is their food.” “Man is the architect of his own fate, no one else is to be blamed.” “Krishna the Lord of Love and Beauty can fully satisfy our heart’s internal hankering.” “The false ego is the enemy of the soul, it must be totally dissolved to ashes.” “Go to that land where speech is a song and all movement is a dance.” “The dust of the feet of the Vaishnava that is your wealth.” “Dedication to Krishna is nectar and exploitation of this material energy is poison.” “If you can achieve a glint of the benevolent ray of the glance of that magnanimous Lord Gauranga in this world, then the waves of problems will never touch you.” “Love is above intellectual calculation.” “Nitya-lila is a place where the grave is unknown and there is a particle of that world within us.” “I want to jump into the infinite ocean and find my position there. I don’t want anything mortal, my heart hankers for something more.” “All are Master, and I am the only servant in His world. This should be our attitude.” “The poison you chew in others will come to you” “On this side its all risk and no gain, but on His side its no risk and all gain.” “Hypocrisy is suicidal.” “Everything may be defective, but still we are to continue with our spiritual practice.” “How beautiful to find our pleasure as part of His pleasure, our freedom a part in His freedom. In this connection we find true harmony.” “Die to live, don’t just live to die.” “We have to dance to the same tune as that original plane of devotional love.” “If the heart is surcharged with love of God, we cannot be influenced by anything less.” “Whatever you are engaged in, my last appeal to you is, “Take the Name of Krishna to your heart.” Madhusudan goes into ecstasy at the breeze touching the body of Radharani.” “Suspicion leads to suspension.” “If you just once chanted the name Gauranga purely, you will melt,you won’t be able to maintain your form.” “All possible tendencies to satisfy our heart will be found in Akhila Rasamrita Murtih.” “On the basis of the burial ground of this mundane civilization, the Vrindavan civilization will grow, by the grace of Sri Gauranga Mahaprabhu.” “Vrindavan is the place of charm and beauty, where all are madly engaged in the satisfaction of Krishna.” “The criteria of devotion is how much tendency one has to satisfy Krishna. Internal hankering, not external show.” “We should be careful to avoid those things which are anti-bhakti.” “We are living with the enemy inside, we must be careful so we are not our own worst enemy.” “The Vaishnava wants to live as a serving element of the whole - to love all, a friend to the whole environment.” “Negligence and idleness can push us from down to down.” “Everywhere you will find the grace of God.” “The key to spiritual life is in acquiring the tendency to serve.” “The real Ananya-Bhakta will think he isn’t one.” “Allow the Vaishnava to work in the workshop of your heart.” “You must try to attain the news given by the agents of divinity.” “Spiritual life means endless sacrifice.” “Break the seal of the pot of the ego, then the natural flow will come.” “The Truth is all in all.” “Let whatever is against this Sweet Name vanish eternally from the world.”

What is Vrndavana? What is Vrndavana proper? It is a stage of consciousness. In different stages of consciousness, there are different subjective realities. Everything springs from the willpower of the Lord. He is the subject, and His potency and sweet will is all subjective. The Lord said, "Let there be light,"—and there was light. He said, "Let there be water,"—and there was water. He said, "Let there be earth,"—and there was earth. If, like a hypnotist, the higher subject wants to make the lower subject see something, he cannot but see that thing. We are all in the subjective, imaginary world, but above imagination is the supersubjective plane of reality. So, Krsna reveals Himself to one who has developed pure consciousness, and in the stage of pure consciousness one can perceive the true nature of subjective reality (sattvam visuddham vasudeva sabditam). To show us that Vrndavana is everywhere, Mahaprabhu was running here and there in ecstasy. When They met, Advaita Prabhu told Him, "You must be jesting when You say You are going to Vrndavana. Wherever You are—that is Vrndavana. We have that experience. What You say is very peculiar: 'I am going to Vrndavana.' Simply to teach us the value of Vrndavana, You are posing in this way." The Land of Love Everything can be compensated only through love. There is a saying that a loving mother thinks that her blind child has beautiful lotus eyes. She is blinded by affection. So, what is mean and low can only be compensated by love—that shines very beautifully. That is prema, or divine love. Through mercy, through pity, through grace, a king can come to play with a boy on the street. Affection can make it possible. The difference between high and low disappears at such a stage. A Great Tragedy We must return back to Godhead, back to home. Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu says, "Your home is a beautiful land. You must try for that. Why are you always troubled with the horrors of war, epidemic, earthquake, undesirable disease, stealing, dacoiting, and fighting with so many neighbors? At the bottom of all this is the fact that you have identified yourself with this material world and this body of flesh and blood. You have to retrace your path and go back to your home." That is what is necessary. Our homeland is such a lovely and beautiful and divine place. Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu's sannyasa is all for us, and it is for the purpose of taking us back home, where we can have home comforts, home sweetness. If we have any home-consciousness within, then we must appreciate such a proposal: home sweet home. Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu's sannyasa. is apparently very cruel to His devotees, and to His family members, but it was meant only to take us to our home. To work out the ecstasy of union, it was necessary for Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu to show separation from His devotees and relatives. Separation and union are mutually helpful. Mahaprabhu's sannyasa, His renunciation, is a great tragedy of separation.

My heart needs enlarging Where do i get a whirlpool? Does it work on the False ego?

'Under the veil' didn't scratch the surface. there are others here in Oz that illustrated more graphicly what is going on behind those covered faces. I thought one statement rather imcomprehensible, when some minister was asked why they execute some women like a public sporting event, in their local sports arena? Which was donated to them thru international funding. He replied "well if the international community wishes to build them another place they won't use the stadium anymore." I thought maybe they should try an international telethon to raise funds for them. So long as they give out their address where to send donations

That's the spirit!
