Srila Madhvacharya Movie in Tamil This is all I know of, its also w/ English Subtitles: http://www.prabhupada.org/prabhupadadesh/a_deposito_oggetti/Archivio_Audio-Video/index.php?q=f&f=%2FVideo

I wonder what the motive behind it is. Open your eyes/

Wish ppls would understand Iskcon is part of Gaudiya Math, viz. Brahma Madhva Gaudiya Sampradaya Brahma==Lord Brahma--Date (unknown) Madhva==Madhvacharya--AD 1238 Gaudiya==Lord Caitanya--15th Century Disiplic Succession continues through the Centurys.. Present Day: Srila Bhaktivinoda Thakura--thought up the process of how to spread the cult of Caitanya Mahaprabhu, Srila Gaura Kishora Das Babaji Maharaja--diciple of Bhaktivinoda Thakura, Guru Maharaja of.. Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Sarawati--life-long brahmachari, spiritual master of Various disciples, incluing srila Bhakti Vaibhava Puri Maharaja, and Srila Sridhara Maharaja and.. Srila A.C Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada--disciple of Bhaktisiddhanta Prabhupada, w/ the order of his spritual master spread Krsna Consiosness to all the world, thus keeping his Guru Maharaja order, which Srila Prabhupada's disciples carry out to this very day.

As I recall it was the Muslims who gave the term Hindus. So tell me again, what were you saying? /images/graemlins/laugh.gif

Re (Re-wind, I hate when ppls do the whole, cutting somebodys Post to shreads with a whole lot of Regardings, anyways, haribol.) Haribol, sorry i do not wish to insight hate by you, but this is a public forum if you state something, you are bound to get a response. -- I see you don't have a sence of humour, my mistake.

Re (This is material designation, we all here follow Vedas, which propounds we are living entities.) It will be hard to separate the material designation, even a group or a insitution is a material designation. atatho bramhJinasa that is what Vedas ask of living entities. ===== No its not, Mathas are not material groups, they are spiritual institition. Your forgetting Varna system. Re-wind, I hate when ppls do the whole, cutting somebodys Post to shreads with a whole lot of Regardings, anyways, haribol.

If you follow Vedas you are Aryan? Ok if you want to indentify with Hindu etc, fine. Haribol

Person whos mother is born in India. etc. thats the trouble w/ ethinic Origin, its always doubtfull what your actually are, if your Hindu living in Uk, who used to live is Usa, and now living in Canada, what does that make you. This is material designation, we all here follow Vedas, which propounds we are living entities.

Does another iskconite have the answers? -- === He who sees everything in relation to the Supreme Lord, who sees all living entities as His parts and parcels, and who sees the Supreme Lord within everything never hates anything nor any being. === Nothing wrong w/ Hindu, Vaishnavas in Iskcon, are taught we are living entities, eternal parts and parcels of KRSNA, Not Hindus, there is no comprimize, If you have Initiation from Vaishnava you may have Hindu body, but you are a Vaishnava.

Bg:4.7 Whenever and wherever there is a decline in religious practice, O descendant of Bharata, and a predominant rise of irreligion--at that time I descend Myself. -- Take it up prabhuji, spread Krsna Consiousness, thats what you can do, seems your doing a lot already, descend upon the masses and spread the message of Lord Caitanya Mahaprabhu, spread sankirtana, hare krsna!!!

HK's, i wish, should give up such arguments. -- Before Srila Prabhupada, hardly anybody in the Western world knew about True, True Vaishnava Culture, Iskcon is coming from Disiplic Succession from Lord Krsna, though when somebodys asks Hk's is this Hindu culture at first you say yes, then you explain more, Most of racial tension is caused by designations, which would be good to get rid off, I am Muslim/Hindu etc We worship the same God, getting rid of Hindu etc, would be a smart move. Slowly, so hopefully more ppls would see the Nature of Vedic Culture is 100cent Scientific, and would take it up, along with the Varna System. Hope I am not dreaming.

Arjun is kstrya, Lord Krishna is asking him to follow his dharma (duty). -- Friend and Vaishnava, two in one package. You can't be a Friend of Krsna, without being a Vaishnava, Arjuna says I have dined with, been familiar with you, I did not know you are Supreme God, Arjuna was sorry, but he had no reason to be, those are qualities of a Vaishnava. You can't find this in any common man, thats includes Hindus.

he surrendered to Krsna. Krsna says 'Abandon all varities of Religion and just surrender unto me, I shall deliver you from all sinful reaction, Do Not Fear. I don't think you can put Vaishnava into a catagory of a Religion, Religion you could change at any time, but your position remains the same. I could be a Christian/Muslim very easily, to be a Vaishnava requires so much, how many individuals are willing to take it up? Not a lot it seems..

Anybody know where in the Vedas the word Hindu is used?

http://www.goloka.com/docs/calendar/index.html very good site. easy to use.

I agree ppls are in habit of saying Krsna is Hindu God. To even say Krsna is Hindu puts down an impediment on Krsna to say He can award only liberation to Bhaktas, when it is clear He does so even to ppls He kills. Anyway I have to brush my Hindu teeth, seeu

No sir. Telling an universal truth does not require any thinking or courage. It comes without an inhibition. -- your right your not thinking. Everything in exsistance is Hindu then? I have Hindu pants ok? when Chrsitian wheres them, they will be Christain pants, same w/ Muslim, crude yet funny analogy.

Its actually Krishna is a Hindu god and not the other way. -- did you stutter when you said this?

'HK is just one of the Sects of Hinduism ( eventhough they may not accept it)' and what sect is that? ==Vaishnavism.

i'm asking these questions beacuse is for my world history religion project so plz can someone answer these question i will be vey thankfull Read the Introduction to Bhagavad-Gita As It Is, www.asitis.com It will give you a feel for what Hinduism is all about, beliefs etc, in a simple and sublime way.

There are meant to be 16,000 ragas for Kirtan, anybody know how you can tell which is which? I'd like to know names of main ones, I am sure it would help remember the tunes. Any help would be great/

just let Krsna know your making arrangements for Katha=

this is what i pray to krishna that most HK's and Hindus become intellectual kshatriyas, if they cannot become a physical ksnatriyas. (and all do not need to become physical kshatriyas, only a few if/when necessary.) -- There are many Hks who are kshatriyas, the days of Maha-rathas as in previous yuga are long gone, most Governments are controlled by Sudras (hey I think even i could do better lol), nice thought though, don't think it will happen any time soon..

we had SatyaNarayana Katha done, with a Brahmin who performs it, its very nice. The Brahmin tells 5 pastimes of the Lord, it bestows blessings on the participants, and you can distribute the prasadam to assembled devotees.

being a tree. Ok, stand in one place for 10 hours and see how you feel, then come back post here and still tell me, you wanna be a flower or a tree. This worlds full of nonsence, no sane man can live in it, better makes plans for spiritual world, where KRSNA IS, and be happy there.
