Tarun

Amazing: right now, as we type, every single line he speaks is false, bar none. Still, the blind repeatedly stand & applaud. Total waste of time & money. Simply astonishing! Morons gathered backpatting. What a scene! VedAnta allows us to clearly see how Lord Siva has them all steeped under His good wife's 8-armed spells:

tad abhAva nirdhAraNe ca pravRtteH ||1.3.37||

that (sudrahood); absence, negation; in ascertainment; and due to taking steps, procedure

101) Gautam first checked that JAbAl was not sUdra, then proceeded to invest him with sacred thread.

What a conjunction: Flip Wilson's "The Devil Made Me Wear that Dress" on www.wbai.org, Union State Speech spouting Satan's Brew line after lyin', up against eternally elevating non-sectarian codes. A laugher, a cryer & a purifier. What a dif!

A few good speech points - he says he wants to eliminate steroids in sports, promote abstinence/celibacy, preserve hetero-marriage's sanctity, improve prisoner reentry assistance.

Swami PrabhupAd mentioned this Gautam-JAbAl history.

JAbAl requested Gautam, "Please sir, teach me."

Gautam replied, "what is your gotra?"

JAbAl: "I do not know."

Gautam recognized: "None not a brahman has courage to say so."

Such frankness morally outweighed his birthcaste, unlike prsent-day policy.

zyAvaH varNAH yadA dantAH, pitta-jAH vividhAH kriyAH |

If teeth brown (zyAva) due to pitta aggravation, adopt appropriate doSa alleviation.

So far I recall, Krishna has 2 basic energies:

para-prakrti & apron-prakrti.., right? Or somethin' like that.

We r neither male nor female.. or we r constitutionally.. perhaps u'v heard?

If u home school, better! How's your energy level? Rest assured your position is not to b ridiculed. Many may secretly envy u. How old r your kids? Does your wife spend quality time with them? Teach them mantras, slokas, rote memory stronger for younger.

Faith is a funny thing. Like that SNF Beegees song "How Deep is Your Love?" Or as Martin Luther King pointed out: "'If' Faith vs 'Though' Faith". Partners yell at each other. Is it love or hate? Who can say for sure? Intense insult may prove superior to ephemeral adoration. And believe or not, far more pleasing to KAna too.

All zAstras describe our different depression levels as being necessary sentiments in our gradual spiritual growth. The key is to never give in to TamogunIs, Lord Siva's friends & neighbors.

They cannot help, only hinder.

Sorry Shankarji, we have to lay it on the line. No hard feelings.

Covering your hair by scarf or otherwise is always nice. Which temple r u close to? Any women's ashram there? Indian women?

do u want them spelled how they sound or just how they r spelled? Karsten & Sesiliya or Karstan & SesIliya? no devanagari font available here, right?

Teeth become blue due to vAyu aggravation. To correct this condition vAyu alleviation measures should b adopted.

Personally I sometimes watch at 11.30pm Leno & Letterman monologues switching back & forth till midnight, then commercial-free news from Berlin 21-12:30am on UHF channel 25 in NYC. Also Saturday Night Live 11:30-1am. That's all that attracts me. Bill Moyers is pious. Politically Incorrect was too good so they banned it.

saMskAra parAmarzAt tad abhAvAbhilApAc ca

sacraments; from scriptural reference - sacred thread preliminary for VedAnta study; that ceremony; abhAva = absence; abhilApAt = from declaration; too

100) Scripture assume purificatory rituals preparatory to Brahma-jnAna; w.r.t. zUdra there is declaration such sacraments r unavailable.

So far, this 100th is by far our most contraversial sUtra.

At once, Karna & so many others come to mind.

Zruti states sacred thread should b received by:

1) brahmaNa at age 8

2) xatriya at age 11

3) vaizya at age 12

Working class keep out.

Don't inform Karl Marx or your local union about this one.

pItAH ca rakta-saMsrAvAH, danta-mUlacyuta tathA ||103||

Teeth morbidity - 7 types

1) zyAva = brown colour

2) rakta = red colour

3) asita = black colour

4) aruNa = red colour

5) pIta = yellow colour

6) rakta saMsrAva = having bleeding

7) dantamUla cyuta = gum retraction (from teeth roots)

black beans these days. Coloring? U mean black eyed peas?

PrabhupAd himself did not care much for Hatha-yoga. At least once SP caught his ziSyas practicing asanas.

He did not abruptly stop them. Instead (perhaps in VrndAvan) HDG remarked:

"ust see! They can't give this exercise up. They're still thinking on the bodily platform."

And still they cannot. "U can't stop war yet go on killing animals. IMPOSSIBLE!

These so-called Christians, Jews, Muslims... have misinterpreted their own scriptures.

"Thou Shalt Not Kill" - only 2 words in Hebrew = "Lo Tirtzach"

My dear jewish brother/sister:

Which part of Lo Tirtzach do u NOT understand?

No, but my rabbi said that if the (dead) meat is blessed...

Then find another rabbi who can at least understand these 2 Hebrew words!!

xatriyatvAvagatez cottaratra caitrarathena lingAt ||1|3|35||

JAnazruti's being xatriya; avagateH = that being known, grasped; ca = too; in subsequent passage; alongside, by, with Citraratha; from inferential mark

99) JAnazruti being xatriya is learned from/by (hearing) whole story, for concluding portion tells of xatriya AbhipratArin who was Caitraratha, as is revealed by inference later on.

This is not one of those licorice/burnt toast vs cottage cheese jokes is it?

KRSNa's Very Own Son Samba's humor sense got him in a heap undesired.

But seriously, how black? How dark? Any other features?

What is your external, physical age? How long have u been vegetarian?

moxa = moksa is life's 4th goal, prema is life's 5th goal.

Spiritual life is no popularity contest.

When all around u shun u, u know u r making some progress.

During one 1973? LA morning walk SP hinted at 8,400,000 mistakes or mental illusions we can maintain causing rebirth into suitable species.

Teeth Exam method is described by sage HArIta along lines instructed by Lord BrahmA.

Be humbler than discarded refuse, more tolerant than any tree... give her the credit card, let her step all over u, and if your chest is too hard, ditto to her what ViSNu asked BhRgu Muni.

ps - this Leslie sounds familiar.

I even heard (long ago) that car painter "Earl Scheib" used to use (maybe still does) Coca-Cola to remove old paint before refinishing, applying new.

ViSNu maintains. Maintain that which is worthy of maintaining, id est, offerable to ViSNu. All the rest respect > > > from a distance.

das Madchen means virgin in Deutsch = German.

ZrIla ZrIdhardev GosvAmI stated:

Best (first class) position within this material world is to b a just king externally while simultaneously maintaining a small female child's sentiment internally."

He was referring to whom? Can u guess?

Yes, it's very hard to balance matter & spirit as SrIzopaniSAd suggests we do.

Many famous pure bhaktas could NOT (or at least DID NOT) do it in one or another of their incarnations.

ZrIman MahAprabhu put SivAnanda Sen in charge of whose accounts/laxmi?

Yes. Om Tat Sat, Thanks Alot. As we clearly explained on VNN long ago, ZrIla Bhaktisundara Govinda Mhrj's Prayers to ACBSP r far superior both qualitatively & quantitatively than those with which some still busy themselves.

No harm, of course. It's a gradual process. bahunAm janmanAm ante...

Finer sentiments have their place on each & every progressive level.

This tongue examination method was devised by BrahmA (catur-mukha). It was propagated amongst worldly folk by sage HArIta.

Thus ends tongue exam description.
