  1. So your saying God couldn't come down in spiritual body as He is.? He has to take some kind of material body. This is complete raskaldom. I don't know if Jesus came as with his own spiritual body, but thats nevertheless not really an issue since his spiritual body is always there, just as ours can be attainted in time. So you must learn who is actually God the Supreme Lord from Jesus Christ, I am not sure what is wrong with all you Christians. Jesus is son of God. So really your goal is to see the father. Now you should humbly inquire who is the father? Actually the Orginal father. This is what you should know. Of-cource Jesus is our father just as we have our own father here. But try to realise what Jesus Christ goal was when He came. He didn't come to be 'God' The Supreme Lord. And what kind of God suffers on a cross? Really this is the act of a devotee. This you must try to understand. Pleased to talk to you..hare krsna
  2. from a book. ':' quotes by late Prabhupada disicple called Subhananda Prabhuji By offenseless chanting, one attains God realization, develops mystic powers and, ultimately, becomes a confidential devotee of the Lord: [Narada Muni to Srila Vyasadeva]: Thus he is the actual seer who worships, in the form of transcendental sound representation, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Visnu, who has no material form. O brahmana, thus by the Supreme Lord Krsna I was endowed first with the transcendental knowledge of the Lord as inculcated in the confidential parts of the Vedas, then with the spiritual opulences, and then with His intimate loving service. Communion with the Lord by transmission of the transcendental sound is nondifferent from the whole spirit Lord Sri Krsna. It is a completely perfect method for approaching the Lord. By such pure contact with the Lord, without offense of material conceptions (numbering ten), the devotee can rise above the material plane to understand the inner meaning of the Vedic literatures, including the Lord's existence in the transcendental realm. The Lord reveals His identity gradually to one who has unflinching faith, both in the spiritual master and in the Lord. After this, the devotee is endowed with mystic opulences, which are eight in number. And above all, the devotee is accepted in the confidential entourage of the Lord and is entrusted with specific service of the Lord through the agency of the spiritual master. A pure devotee is more interested in serving the Lord than in showing an exhibition of the mystic powers dormant in him. Sri Narada has explained all these from his personal experience, and one can obtain all the facilities which Sri Narada obtained by perfecting the chanting process of the sound representation of the Lord. ¯Srimad-Bhagavatam 1.5.38-39 By chanting the Hare Krsna mantra offenselessly in the association of devotees one becomes pure in heart and realizes the transcendental nature of the Lord: [Lord Siva to Lord Visnu]: The devotee whose heart has been completely cleansed by the process of devotional service and who is favored by Bhaktidevi does not become bewildered by the external energy, which is just like a dark well. Being completely cleansed of all material contamination in this way, a devotee is able to understand very happily Your name, fame, form, activities, etc. As stated in Srimad-Bhagavatam (3.25.25): satam prasangan mama virya-samvido bhavanti hrt-karna-rasayanah kathah tad josanad asv apavarga-vartmani sraddha ratir bhaktir anukramisyati Simply by the association of pure devotees one can understand the transcendental name, fame, quality and activities of the Supreme Personality of Godhead. Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu has repeatedly said: 'sadhu-sanga', 'sadhu-sanga'-sarva-sastre kaya lava-matra sadhu-sange sarva-siddhi haya (Sri Caitanya-caritamrta Madhya-lila 22.54) Simply by associating with a pure devotee, one becomes wonderfully advanced in Krsna consciousness. Sadhu-sanga, or association with a devotee, means always engaging in Krsna consciousness by chanting the Hare Krsna mantra and by acting for Krsna. Specifically, chanting the Hare Krsna mantra purifies one, and this chanting is therefore recommended by Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu. Ceto-darpana-marjanam: [Cc. Antya 20.12] by chanting the names of Krsna, the mirror of the heart is cleansed, and the devotee loses interest in everything external. When one is influenced by the external energy of the Lord, his heart is impure. When one's heart is not pure, he cannot see how things are related to the Supreme Personality of Godhead. Idam hi visvam bhagavan ivetarah (S.B. 1.5.20). He whose heart is purified can see that the whole cosmic manifestation is but the Supreme Personality of Godhead, but he whose heart is contaminated sees things differently. Therefore by sat-sanga, or association with devotees, one becomes perfectly pure in heart. One who is pure in heart is never attracted by the external energy, which urges the individual soul to try to dominate material nature. The pure head of a devotee is never disturbed when he executes devotional service in the form of hearing, chanting, remembering, etc. In all, there are nine processes one can follow in the execution of devotional service. In any case, a purehearted devotee is never disturbed. The bhakti-yoga process must be carried out by avoiding the ten offenses one can commit while chanting the maha-mantra and the sixty-four offenses one can commit while worshiping the Deity. When a devotee strictly follows the rules and regulations, Bhaktidevi becomes very much satisfied with him, and at that time he is never disturbed by anything external. A devotee is also called a muni. The word muni means "thoughtful." A devotee is as thoughtful as a nondevotee is speculative. The nondevotee's speculation is impure, but a devotee's thoughts are pure. Lord Kapila and Sukadeva Gosvami are also called muni, and Vyasadeva is addressed as Mahamuni. A devotee is addressed as muni, or thoughtful, when he purely understands the Supreme Personality of Godhead. The conclusion is that when one's heart is purified by the association of devotees and by the avoidance of the offenses committed when chanting and worshiping the Lord, the transcendental name, form and activities of the Lord are revealed by the Lord. ¯Srimad-Bhagavatam 4.24.59
  3. I read it 2 times while I was going thru whats the books about Oh My God. Those days I was so crazy about that Book. can't believe I read it 2 times. But when Ghari gave that link I was like mm lemme seee. This the picture: I am not sure who is Srila Prabhupada in this picture.
  4. SO.. Ksirodakasayi Vishnu is Paramatma, Thx for the links. Still its confucing to explain this to people who ARE devotees already. Even I am perplexed. SB 10.89.58: [Lord Maha-Vishnu said:] I brought the brahmana's sons here because I wanted to see the two of you, My expansions, who have descended to the earth to save the principles of religion. As soon as you finish killing the demons who burden the earth, quickly come back here to Me. So to intrepretate this verse means that Maha-vishnu because of Pure Transencedence is not seeing any Difference between Himself and Krishna.
  5. I forget about this book. __ The Vishnu incarnation, although master of the modes of goodness within each universe, is in no way in touch with the influence of material nature. Although Vishnu is equal to Krishna, Krishna is the original source. Vishnu is a part, but Krishna is the whole. This is the version given by Vedic literatures. In Brahma-samhita the example is given of an original candle which lights a second candle. Although both candles are of equal power, one is accepted as the original, and the other is said to be kindled from the original. The Vishnu expansion is like the second candle. He is as powerful as Krishna, but the original Vishnu is Krishna. Brahma and Lord Siva are obedient servants of the Supreme Lord, and the Supreme Lord as Vishnu is an expansion of Krishna. So this is specifically describing Vishnu {garbodakasayi vishnu}. It doesn't state about Maha-Vishnu. Also so it means Krishna is source of Paramatma since Garbodakasayi Visnu is source of Karanadakasayi Vishnu. Do you see? Or is this talking about all Vishnu's. It says Vishnu is purusha-AVATARA. I am asking because sure devotees would spot this. Ps. Teachings of Lord Chaitanya what a Book.
  6. Mahak Ok so answer this please, So your saying the Krishna who comes is expansion of Karanadakasahyi Vishnu, {pamamatma} it does say in Bhagavatam that all Incarnations come from this Vishnu. So if above is true that means no wonder people think Vishnu is source of Krishna right? So please try to answer above questions they are for 2 devotees now. Ps I was like to this devotee if you want pray to Maha-vishnu whos stopping you? In Vrindavana nobody knows Krishna is Surpreme, they just like little old {old ahaha} Krishna. Get your head around that.
  7. I had this devotee going crazy when he read this lol. It does seem from this that Maha-vishnu is source of Krishna. Is it a misprint? http://srimadbhagavatam.com/10/89/en1 SB 10.89.58: [Lord Maha-Vishnu said:] I brought the brahmana's sons here because I wanted to see the two of you, My expansions, who have descended to the earth to save the principles of religion. As soon as you finish killing the demons who burden the earth, quickly come back here to Me. SB 10.89.59: Although all your desires are completely fulfilled, O best of exalted personalities, for the benefit of the people in general you should continue to exemplify religious behavior as the sages Nara and Narayana. SB 10.89.60-61: Thus instructed by the Supreme Lord of the topmost planet, Krishna and Arjuna assented by chanting om, and then they bowed down to almighty Lord Maha-Vishnu. Taking the brahmana's sons with them, they returned with great delight to Dvaraka by the same path along which they had come. There they presented the brahmana with his sons, who were in the same infant bodies in which they had been lost.

  18. I came across this. Lets see if anybody can actually understand the deep meaning behind this. I guess we find interpretations in our minds all the time, we maybe think Vaishnava's contradict themselves in our lower foolish consciousness. TRANSLATION Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu then finally advised, "One who is chanting the Hare Krsna mantra is understood to be a Vaisnava; therefore you should offer all respects to him." PURPORT In his Upadesamrta (5), Srila Rupa Gosvami states: krsneti yasya giri tam manasadriyeta diksasti cet pranatibhis ca bhajantam isam. An advanced devotee should respect a person who has been initiated by a bona fide spiritual master and who is situated on the transcendental platform, chanting the holy name with faith and obeisances and following the instructions of the spiritual master. Srila Bhaktivinoda Thakura comments that serving Vaisnavas is most important for householders. Whether a Vaisnava is properly initiated or not is not a subject for consideration. One may be initiated and yet contaminated by the Mayavada philosophy, but a person who chants the holy name of the Lord offenselessly will not be so contaminated. A properly initiated Vaisnava may be imperfect, but one who chants the holy name of the Lord offenselessly is all-perfect. Although he may apparently be a neophyte, he still has to be considered a pure, unalloyed Vaisnava. It is the duty of the householder to offer respects to such an unalloyed Vaisnava. This is Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu's instruction. CC: Madhya 15.111
  19. But this chapter is mindblowing: http://www.geocities.com/krsnajapa/Cc.Madhya.34.htm
  20. I have this small booklet with them in it. They are key verses, spiritualy speaking their is sense of higher and lower in that as well. So maybe its same for Gita verses. Maybe the verses are servants of the other verses eh? Theistji I can't say I did it. Most of the HTML is borrowed from sites that already give it for free. But yes me did produce it. Krsna helped me out.
  21. Independance. Well I hope I am reincareted in India for Billions of years. Big Diff between 'independance' and IndePENDANCE. Haribol You know what Samsara is?
  22. Only reason you don't like it cause it has name 'allah' in it. And we all know who you hate.
