I keep one bike in Alachua, one in Miami, one in New York, one in Amsterdam, one in Mayapur and 2 in VrndAvan. I tried to do the same with... but they refused to agree. Naturally I carry the pump wherever I go.

vRddhaH putreSu ekaikaM AhUya, "kASTha-bandhaM enaM bhanjaya" ity uvAca | 8) Old man among sons one by one called "stick bundle this break" thus said. 9) kintu, kopi taM bhanjayituM na azaknot | But, anyone it break not able. In sentence 8, what does enaM mean? In sentence 9, what does kopi mean?

SacIdevI had a dream Baladev and Nitai were wrestling. Gauranga and Govinda were also wrestling. To see who would sit/stand on Kaliyuga altars to be worshipped. How many rounds did they go? 12? 15? 16? 64? 128? 3 lakhs = 192! How many rounds must we chant before we get such dream?

According to ZrIla ZrIdhardev, Baladev has 62 of KRSNa's 64. Can you name them? Not Them, them, those last 2 of 4.

Gauracandra claims marriage is a life sentence. I agree. Then again, I disagree. Marriage aka household life can also be like a run-on sentence. What do you do with, how do you cure a run-on sentence? You divide it up into shorter not-so-lifetime sentences.

If you do it twice per day facing East, it's transcendental.

I'll give ya space. Space Provider, Original Real Estate Agent. Loka, lokeSu, LokanAth lokera jIvana Facility, circumstance, dimension, existence... Most important: to argue with KRSNa. To disagree. Kuruxetra yes, Kuruxetra no, SubhadrArjun yes, SubhadrArjun no, etc. Someone to delegate who in turn delegates to whom, who in turn... Bureaucracy at Its Best

Where else will you see 70 yr old sannyAsis absorbed in kirtan dancing the proverbial "Hot Foot" barefoot? Not just during Gaur-purnimA, daily! MJ, eat your heart out!

I heard Netaji was 2-3 yrs older than PrabhupAd. This states him to be one year younger. Supposedly they attended the same school. Maybe Scottish Church's College. Netaji's daughter or niece came to visit PrabhupAd during mid-70s. She said "SwAmIjI, you are like NetajI in that you went outside India to seek help for our Indian Culture."

I'll not only vote for him, I'll carry him on my shoulders! (How much did you say he weighed?)

VNN Forums continued... I've had a seronegative spondylo arthropody group disease called ankylosis spondylytis since 1977. To much uric acid in my blood. My condition is stable so long I avoid nightshades and extreme anxiety. I have 3 toes and 3 fingers deformed. IOW, I'm batting 70%. I can still arm-wrestle with my right. What can be done? Life on this planet is so pathetically short. Now whether one develops very same disease in one's next life? That's a serious question. Any ideas?

ISKCON temples such as Alachua are still throwing away so much prasAdam. Am I at fault to think prasAd is non-different than KRSNa? And that prasAd should be honored even if it's a few days old? kutas tvA ~ wherefrom this notion has come? My imagination?

Well, in Sept'85 when Bhav went down, to uplift quichy spirits at Schermerhorn we dovetailed (careful with this term), sang a few bars of "Gay Guru Blew his Soiree, Gay Guru Blew His Soiree" which seemed to calm the crusty crowd. If the backdoor's open... try the window.

Buddhism's aim: nindasi yajna vidher ahaha zruti jAtam sa dayA hrdaya darzita pazu-ghAtam Kezava-dhrta buddha-zarIra jaya jagadIza hare IOW, to eliminate the middleman. Not only the middleman, but also the hatchetman, strawman, pressman, pullman, batman, superman, saneman, sickman, congressman, assemblyman, everyman. To become zhjhero ~ zero. To clean the slateboard. Dustchalk thou wast, dustchalk thou beest.

11) tasyAH ekaM dIrghaM pucchaM asti | From/to her one long tail is.

Correct spelling for "Schiester"? "Scheister" reminds me of one Marks Brothers film. These committees remind me of so many Marks Brother's Films. Whatever you do, get it in writing or don't do it at all. That especially goes for you virgin though aspiring future MAtAjIs. Napoleonic Law does have that special quality.

ISTagosthi should never be left to a properly dressed committee. A committee is a cul-de-sac down which ideas are lured then quietly strangled - Sir Barnett Cocks One guru says he's being poisoned. He gives so many examples. Anyone with ears can here it. If Q-Tips are in short supply... Kapila Prabhu uses car keys. Same result: clear sound. Even after hearing their guru's plea, such committees first lure their guru's words/voice into their cul-de-sac gathering after which they busy themselves strangling their most obvious evidence available, personally supplied by HDG. They're (such committee members) going to help me or anyone else spiritually advance? Cash advance? Maybe. Spiritually advance? Hardly.

1) dhenuH grAmyaH pazuH = Cow is country animal. 2) dhenuH madhuraM dugdhaM dadAti = Cow gives sweet milk. 3) sA dhAnyaM tRNaM ghAsaM ca bhaxayati = She eats grain, grass and straw. 4) dhenoH dugdhaM dadhi bhavati = Cow's milk changes to curd. 5) dadhi mathitvA taktaM sAdhayanti = They churn curd to make buttermilk. 6) DadhnaH navanItaM jAyate = Butter forms from curd. 7) navanItAt ghrtaM bhavati = From butter ghee forms. 8) dhenoH xiraM, dadhi, taktaM, ghrtaM ca pathyAni bhavanti Cow's milk, curd, buttermilk and ghee are good for health. 9) bhArata-deze janaiH dhenuH pujyate Cow is being worshipped by people in India (land). 10) dhenoH dve zRnge vartete = Cow has two horns. Notice in 1) no verb is required. Copula - when to be verb is understood, ergo no need. Thus, these 3 consecutive words "cow village beast" = The cow is a village animal. In sentences 2 thru 10, notice Sanskrt's word order (mentality). Something like "literal frontloading" (verb last). 2) Cow sweet milk gives. 3) She grain grass, straw and/too eats. 4) Of cow milk curd becomes. 5) Curd having churned buttermilk (they) make. 6) From curd butter arises - advents - appears. There's a mistake in sentence 6. Can you detect it? 7) From butter ghee becomes - is - forms. 8) Of/from cow milk curd, buttermilk, ghee and/also/too healthy are. Can 8 be translated slightly differently? 9) In India, by people cow worshipped. 10) Of/from cow 2 horns exists. "To have" is formulated in Russian and Sanskrt indirectly. Instead of "Cows have 2 horns" ~ {of cow 2 horns (there) exists}.

Is it okay to write "deep schitt" on this forum? Stool and urine generally suffice but not always. There are times when only the homeboy term will du-du do.

Dear Atma-nivedana, I surrender. Well done. Only one thing. I along with many others still believe in Santa Claus. After centuries, Santa Claus remains the most worshipful Deity dedans Notre Histoire Americaine, n'est-ce pas?

Bravo for Bushanam Bush! I was about to insert a joke here if he had decided the other way. Feeling sorry for Christopher Reeves and all Kaliyuga sufferers. Only one permanent solution: Harer nAma Harer nAma Harer nAmaiva kevalam Kalau nasty eva nasty eva nasty eva gatir anyathA

Prosecutor: Where were you on the night of the last dark moon? Defendant: Doing akhanda-harinAm sankirtan at Prabhu's place. Prosecutor: Yeah, yeah, that's what they all say. Plaintiff: All you initiates give the same excuse.

Which level of guru? I say yes. And no. Ha! Par exemple, Baladev Prabhu, The Original Guru. Did He make a mistake when he killed RomaharSan? If not, why did He go on pilgrimage? Only to set a good example? Only because He wanted to? First time I met PrabhupAd at Henry St Brooklyn, His Divine Grace forgot a word which held up his own lecture for about 40-50 seconds. Was it a mistake? Intentional? KRSNa's Mercy? After the lecture, I was told "you should blame material nature, not gurudev." I wasn't really blaming anyone. He just temporarily forgot. It became a big deal for some who had this omniscient, encyclopedic, Karnak the Magnificent guru conception. Not me.
