How can you know for sure our world famous ISKCON Dallas Deity Kalacandji, though very strong-armed, is often ill? 1st hint: Not his consort ZrImAtI, only He's often ill. 2nd hint: You have to know 2-3 words in "Remember the Alamo" Texas Spanish to solve this riddle.

Dear Animesh, which species do you train? I've never seen such name before. Who gave it to you? Is it found in any zAstra? Although it's certainly bonafide Sanskrt, Sandhi et al, it impressed me as being a combination of animal + isha - lion-tamer, alligator-wrestler, horse-breeder, so many possibilities. "anima" means soul in Italian. So any Italian that eats meat yet still believes animals have no soul doesn't know his own language. Typical Kaliyuga symptom. Jews don't know Hebrew. Arabs don't know Arabic. French don't know French. Russians don't know Russian. Chinese don't know Chinese. Even Indians are forgetting their own Culture. So what else is new? Your question's answer: I usually accept that it's usually her fault. In other words, only usually.

What did PrabhupAd say? XY: Man in KRSNa consciousness is good. WO: Woman in KRSNa consciousness is good. XY + WO: Man and woman together? Generally not good.

In film "Robin Hood: Men in Tights", Lady Marion wore a chastity belt. Those were the "good old days."

Concerning #11, in film "Goodfellas" Friday Night was for their girlfriends, Saturday Night was for their wives.

Adam in Sanskrt means uncontrolled (Gita 18:41-4). So if you name someone "Uncontrolled", you expect good results?

Didn't this 62 yr old Tina TaruNI Turner sing a song titled "Typical Male?" I doubt she had Ike in mind. Then again, could be. Women should be protected at all stages. 1) Even up onstage. 2) Including onstage. Which sounds better, 1 or 2?

Okay, so Adam was 'somewhat' "penny-wise, pound foolish." Let's say, he was economizing, thrifty. You wanna blame him for that?

In Berkeley 1976, PrabhupAd told co-pres Bahulazva: "you can't blame women, children or brahmaNas." So even though it's usually her fault, you can't blame her.

Atma: your genie boat joke doesn't quite ring a bell. At least, not yet. Guess I'll have to wait till next Arati.

There was a poster on one office wall where I worked: "If you want to see the Dead come to Life, be here at quittin' Time."

What did CANakya PaNDit write: She's twice as clever, 4x as______, 6x as_____, 8x as lusty. Something like that.

Me neither! Where is she? Where can I find such a gem? If there's a warehouse full, I'll start with half a dozen. Just for openers. Traditional family = Vedik family Husband controls $, wife controls home ki jaya!

This sunirmalAm word indicates vizuddha-sattvam, flipside. AdvaitAcarya = sadA-Zivaji can be nirmalAm, it's true. Only ZacI-suta Gauranga MahAprabhu can be sunirmalAm. At least in recent history. PrabodhAnanda's poetic style differs from Sarvabhauma's significantly. Sometimes parSadas are hard to precisely identify. Even more so than God Himself.

We'll stick with Gita verses here? I ask because you herein again post this Zvet. Upan. zloka: "mahAn prabhur..." My gut feeling: "sunirmalAm" is this zloka's key word pointing to ZacI-suta Zri Gauranga exclusively. I know. This comment belongs on the other thread. Admitted.

FOLLOWING NON-LOTUS FEET... TC: ... And furthermore, we need to cut down on excessive use of water, bhoga, gas, heat, electricity, frills... Treasurer: Definitely. After all, it is our dearmost Supreme Lord NArAyan's Laxmi we're wasting. We should... Sankirtan Leader: Wait a minute! Didn't we cover all these points in our last istagosthi? Headcook: More like our last 3! Mechanic: 5! Gardener: Like weeds. They just seem to crop up over & over again. Potwasher: What did PrabhupAd say? Resolution, no solution...? Gardener: Bible warns about this. Mechanic: Yeah, vain repetition. Like a disengaged clutch. Headcook: Deaf ears. Like ears of corn. Treasurer: I was about to say (before I was so rudely interrupted): We should be more careful, more efficient. TP: I have an idea. Here's what we do. Pujari: What's that? TP: Bring a big pillow. Potwasher: A big pillow? What for? TP: You'll see. Vice Pres: Let me put it this way. To make sure we once & for all, got that? ...ONCE & for ALL 'terminate' discussing frills & waste, this time after we cover them, we'll also go on to smother them. Pujari: Them? potwasher: Them who? (Alive) Life Membership Director: Any objections? ....s..i..l..e..n..c..e...

Dear Shvu, dainyik daNDavat praNAms. Thanks for retyping this ZvetAzvataropaniSad verse accurately. Kundali's print has a few diacritic & spelling errors. I left my UpaniSads over the Atlantic. No prapti siddhi here. This UpaniSad zloka is directly related & similar to BhAg (10.14.8) tat te'nukampAM susamIxamANo... so much so, it can very easily be established, "They are 2 sides of the same coin." "2 fingers" or "2 inches" in YazodAmayi's case. aroha ~ avatAr mala = dirt - singular. malAm = all dirt - plural Caturmukha BrahmA's son Rudradev aka Ziva is slightly tinged by TriguNa. Ergo he's neither amala nor nirmala. So nirmalAm cannot refer to him. What about sadAziva? He's certainly nirguN. He's certainly nirmalAm. Yet can He, sadAziva be referred to as sunirmalAm? In this present Kaliyuga, sadAziva appears as whom? We can say 1/2 AdvaitAcarya. Ergo, AdvaitAcarya is certainly nirmalAm, the usual KaliyugAvatAr. However... I'm you sure can capture the rest. Good day.

Ananga: KirtanAnanda SvAmi used fireworks every year starting 1979 for his New VrndAvan Labor Day weekend festivals. Very expert. Very impressive. BTG PrabhupAd with one finger pointing up all lit @ sparkling. Mountain side. You had to see it to believe it. Hired one West Virginia family dedicated to that sort thing. Hey Random: Is it true both Father George B & Son GWB were both on hand at Liverpool Airport's renaming ceremony in honor of John Lennon? Or was it just a rumour? Or more like a rumble?

I'll send this page to a friend. Maybe he can help.

I laughed out loud. Too loud. My neighbor wondered, "Whatta...!" I'm arthritic & ascetic; I can relate to them both.

Wasn't George Harrison playing lead guitar on that entire album? And Paul McCartney sound engineer? If you love ISKCON, you have to love that 7am standard. In 1976, some sannyAsis tried to stop its playing in favor of live Brahma-saMhitA recitation. These sannyAsis got tired of hearing the same woman chant the same 2 zlokas every morning, over and over again. PrabhupAd may have replied in several ways to them. One was: "It's not just one woman; many are chanting together." Many devotees who've been humming along for 30 yrs still don't know the words. Many devotees who know the words don't know the word meanings. No offense intended. Just an observation.

Just to begin somewhere... Here's a practical question: (As it used to be vs As it now stands) In Svami BhaktivedAnta's 1972 "Gita As It Was" (11.32) we read: The Blessed Lord said: Time I am, destroyer of worlds, and I've come to engage all people. Excepting you (PANDavas), all soldiers here on both sides will be slain. In his posthumous tampered with 1983 "As It Protrudes" version we read (and weep): The Supreme Personality of Godhead said: Time I am, great destroyer of worlds, and I've come to destroy all people. Excepting you (PANDavas), all soldiers here on both sides will be slain. This is both a Sanskrt vocab as well as philosophical inquiry. Which is closer to truth, Absolute Truth? 1972 pravrddhaH = to engage 1983 pravrddhaH = great 1972 pravrttaH = to engage 1983 pravrttaH = engaged 1972 samAhartum = to destroy 1983 samAhartum = in destroying samAhartum is in/an infinitive form. There seems to be one verb to many in this zloka. Or not? Perhaps one too many is symptomatic of our Vizva-rUpa's mood? kutas tvA = wherefrom this 1983 "destroy all people" idea has come? After so much Vedik book distribution, could this "destroy all people" be some editor's hidden agenda? A personal preference? A next step in the wrong direction? Why not mass suicide? Jim Jones followed our 1983 version years before its print. Did he satisfy Vizva-rUpa by doing so?
