Once all the catur-pada pazus held a meeting titled "How to Get Out from the Control of Man." The elephant admitted, "I'm so big, so strong still I'm controlled." In short, this beast meeting was a failure. The meeting was organized by an ass. The ass thought, "I have to work so hard all day, for only a little grass, maybe a carrot." Oops, sorry, my mistake, wrong thread.

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.

2) Proof Samuel Clemens was not self-realized: "Never ther Tw___ shall meet" (at least not in that lifetime). 1) Why Zri Kalacandji´s often ill? Porque ahI estA MAL Krishna. Porque ahI es TAMAL Krsna. Because there Tamal Krsna (visits). Spanish "EstA mal" means "is ill, sick"

Where is this zri zyAmasundaram verse from?

Jagatji: wa hapa? We're anxiously awaiting your next Gita Sanskrt installment. You must be on vacation. It happens to the best of us.

Nice waves. New wave. How did you do it?

May there be peace on Earth and war in cyberspace. All out war!

here's another one for BB King: One defrosted Admiral Byrd is worth more than so many slightly thawed out Bush-es.

Dear King Sabrina, Please accept my respects. Why should I leave the library? 1) My taxes help pay for my library to stay open. 2) I plan to leave my body in a library. Much quieter than Vraj, especially at night. 3) Lower percentage of poisoners per capita in our library population than in our VrndAvan (or New VrndAvan) population. Action over intellect, yes. That's why we librarian vegetarians (prasAdam pushers) type KC as well as perform HarinAm Street Sankirtan. 4) A book is a book, but are we really alive? Night of the Living Dead is going on before our eyes 24/7. We're thinking, "Hmm. I should do this, I should do that." Actually we don't know what to do until we read that book. So in our neophyte condition, who's more alive, Gita or you? Your reference to misogyny I didn't quite understand. Please specify a bit more.

Personally, I prefer Bangla bhajans Bangla style. I prefer Hank Williams Hank Williams style, Beethoven Beethoven style, etc. That tape "Temple of the Mind" was really great, wherein that devotee SaccidAnanda or Sacinandan recorded Ami Yamuna Puline and Manma Mana Mandire... Supposedly his great grandma learned these bhajans' appropriate tunes/ragas directly from their author Zrila Bhaktivinod ThAkur himself. Family paramparA sometimes supercedes... Holy Blood is thicker than Holy Water... Jagatji:: Harikeza cut 9 LP vinyl albums by 1984. "dharmaxetre kuruxetre" wasn't too bad. Some cuts a bit too jumpy. Sounded like Blues Project's "I Can't Keep From Crying" with the crying left out. "Wow! You Can't Wake a Man who's Pretending to Sleep" wasn't too bad. Problm with Harikeza bhajan was only he sang. Many of his recordings were in dire need of harmony or response. HamsadUta had cut 5 by 1984 - one was excellent, the rest a bit too repetitious whiney. Too much distraction fighting with Ramezvar: Lily White, etc. Guru Guru Off the Wall Who's the Heaviest of Them All was HamsadUta's most memorable. My Italian professor was very impressed by BhagavAn das' rendition of JIv JAgo at end of 1st Italian bhajan cassette - orange label.

President George W. Bush is visiting an elementary school today and he visits one of the 4th grade classes. They are in the middle of a discussion related to words and their meanings. The teacher asks the President if he would like to lead the class in the discussion of the word, "tragedy." So the president asks the class for an example of a "tragedy." One little boy stands up and offers, "If my best friend, who lives next door, is playing in the street and a car comes along and runs him over, that would be a tragedy." "No" says Bush, "that would be an accident." A little girl raises her hand: "If a school bus carrying 50 children drove off a cliff, killing everyone involved, that would be a tragedy." "I'm afraid not" explains the President. "That's what we would call a GREAT LOSS." The room goes silent. No other children volunteer. President Bush searches the room. "Isn't there someone here who can give me an example of a tragedy?" Finally, way in the back of the room, a boy named Johnny raises his hand. In a quiet voice he says, "If Air Force One, carrying you and Mrs. Bush, was struck by a missile and blown up to smithereens, that would be a tragedy. "Correct" exclaims Bush, "that's right. And can you tell me WHY that would be a tragedy?" "Well," Lil' Johnny said, "because, like you just told us, it wouldn't be an accident, and it sure as hell wouldn't be a great loss." ps - FUNNY VEDIK THOUGHTS "Power (Bala) in [America] is like hemophilia; it passes through women and then men get it." - Gloria Steinem

Does anyone recall a joke going around some 40 yrs ago whose punch line was: "If the Fu schitts, wear it." based on of course, "If the shoe fits, wear it." It was a very funny story with an oriental flavor about a Fu bird who passes stool on some small creature who is saved by, id est, doesn't get eaten by a cat so long it's cover by Fu's stool. But asa Fu's stool was remove... curtains. Thus the motto...

ZikhaNDI, ZikhaNDinI, from BhISma's viewpoint, what's the dif?

Random: Jorge Barreiro was from Uruguay? About 7 yrs ago he ran for President there. Good musician. Never led kirtan that I know of. He got 1st from SatsvarUp Mhrj => GurudAs. He was shaved up for some time (1979ish). Then he returned to his usual routine of escorting a parade of women twice his size through 340 West 55th Street's front doors down into Govinda's restaurant for a transcendental bite.

This bathroom wallpaper must be Atma's answer to "Silence of the Lambs."

Why is this material world deficient, so messed up? Because God's Incarnation in charge of it has been Lying Down on the Job Eternally (MahA-ViSNu).

All that glitters is not gold. All that totters is not told. All that shutters is not sold. All that flutters does not fold. Hare KRSNa. SanAtan GosvAmi's idea of worth.

Yesterday in class we came across a BhAgavatam verse in 1st Canto, Chapter 19 "Zukadev's Appearance" with the word vavande. 1st syllable duplicated!?

God sometimes ill in Dallas? Yes. Why? Because _____ KRSNa stays there. In this case the Spanish reveals the Truth. Porque ahi es _____ KRSNa. There you go. Only 2 syllables, 5 letters to fill in. Clemens was definitely not self-realized because of his pen name choice. "Never the...

One should definitely avoid public chanting aka HarinAm street sankirtan on the pretext of having better things to do, more pressing matters, my guru said this, my doctor said that, I don't like this one, that one, he's not my style, etc. One hour of public HarinAm is worth thousands of hours of solitary japa in which case you'd pass the rest of us up so fast, we'd be so envious...

Further Texas & Clemens clues: 1) This riddle solves the crime "Who Poisoned SP?" within a second. Why does Our Dallas Kalacandji sometimes feel ill? Because/porque "ahi __ __ ___ KRSNa." Onlt 3 syllables to be filled in. 2 letters + 2 letters + 3 letters You're only 7 letters away from solving one of the greatest crimes of last century. Only 7 letters away. Any judge and jury can figure this one out blindfolded. Even his own disciples can easily ascertain, so what's the hold up? 2) Although Samuel was twice blessed by Haley's Comet, because Clemens never met himself, his real self, he was most certainly (within that Comet lifetime) not self-realized. How do we know?

I began visiting this Gaudiya mission branch in April 1991. I'm no devotee, yet once I started I couldn't stop. I was living with RAdhAnAth SvAmI et al at Munshi Marg near Chowpatty. At that time he was still with KirtanAnanda and New VrndAvan. I didn't know anything. As soon as someone told me there was a Gaudiya Mission branch nearby close to (Grant Road Railway Station) I began visiting every night. At that time there were 2 sannyAsis and 12 brahmacaris residing in that temple. I learned alot from these devotees. Tremendous yet sweet bhajan and kirtan chanters. In 1992-3, they moved a few miles North to Bandra where they constructed from scratch a brand new mandir beside Guru Nanak Hospital. Srila BhaktisrirUpa BhAgavat Mhrj left his body there shortly after. Next time you visit Mumbai, do stop in during their morning or evening program. I have to say their mangalAratrik is the best I've ever experienced on this entire planet. They spoiled me. Nothing else even comes close. So far...

Nobody figured out why Kalcandji is sometimes ill? At least take a stab at it. One more hint. What does 'mal' mean in Spanish? Okay. here's another riddle. Why is Huck Finn's author not quite in our paramparA? IOW, How do we know for sure Samuel Clemens was not self-realized? (at least not in that lifetime)

Hey Random, they let me out again for morning sun. Upon your recommendation. A sickly mammal gives more trouble. MahAx: whose IQ was highest? Can I go for that Agent Orange steelhull sailboatride too? Mrdanga and kartals allowed on board?
