No text can last so long, it was written down, then written down etc. Passed on, Devotee to devotee

Narada Rsi asked Srila Vedya Vyasa to compile the Srimad-Bhagavatam AFTER Vedya-Vyasa has written all Scriptures, Veda, (4), Vedanta-sutra, Puranas etc Then The Srimad-Bhagavatam was composed after the Bhagavad-gita.

Dunno, but i saw whole series 1 & 2.

Don't know, but in the show they have to press a button and the countdown timer goes down to 108. If they don't press it then the World could be destroyed.

Anybody watched this series, it has something to do with 'Dharma Project' (fictional) and they have to press this button every 108 minutes.

Chant for Prasadam. >>>>>>>>>>>>>parcel to Uk >>>3rd class. (kanistha-adikari airlines)

It's ironic how you make this post. Not sure who it is directed at? Is it directed to me as much as you? Your 3rd question, am I posing as humble. I'd say yes. I TRY to be humble. A nice guy. You know. I never knew religion had so many complications. I probably led a sheltered life, practicing on my own (i think I was better off). Now I see, people act humble more by clicking/pasting (i do that as well). No offence to you. I do it all the time. It seems funny at first when you make posts like this, but some have an actual difficult time with Bhakti-yoga (ego etc). Maybe you should write, why YOU find it difficult. Anyway, hare krishna.

Oh come on theist prabhuji. Its called the Gauranga Age. Typo;)

Hare krishna, at your service Prabhuji:pray: http://www.archive.org/details/Bhaktivedanta-Swami-Prabhupada108 Hope you found it prabhu. Hare Krishna, i used to be Govindaram. It's on that page. Hare Krishna.

A Guru who falls was never a Guru, He was actually fallen, and didn't fall-down. (because he was never uttama). So there is no meaning to the term fallen. Aleady fallen. I feel sorry for people in Iskcon who have Spritual Masters who later 'fall-down'. They were never realized in the first place. They were trying to take the posisition of a pure Uttama-adikari devotee. They should tell others their position as either Kanistha-adikari or Madhayama-adikari. I am not sure if many pretend to be Uttama-adikari or not. But when I see a NEW Initiating Iskcon Guru or any Guru come, I start to wonder. And when they fall years later I also wonder. The pain for the devotees must be unbelieveable (its not material pain,) Spiritual pain, you have so much knowledge that you can niether live nor die (commit sucidice-goto hell). I don't have any idea, maybe Guru's in Iskcon should tell people they are not Uttama-adikari (and completly stop elaborate Guru-Puja). One disicple told me this is a great great offence, to worship like this. They should label devotees (Guru) as this is Madhayama-adikari. There is nothing worse. And I feel most disicples don't have a clue. They see somebody with the label Guru and think this person can take them to Prabhupada, worship him. Then Guru-falls. What is the spiritual merit of the person doing this? On the other hand, you could become a ritvik? Or believe Iskcon and blaspheme all of others (Gaudiya Matha, etc). Iskcon has created such a total mess in Guru-system. I feel ONLY sorry for the disicples, mostly. I admire the Guru's who are humble, and actually realize they are Madhayama-adikari (i can probably say Indrayumna Maharaja, Radhanatha Swami). So far they have been non-political. I do despair sometimes. I came to Krsna Consciousness thinking what Prabhupada created was pure and nice. But it's not like that at all. Their are so many problems. Even on forums. And you actually see what's going on, then I'd rather have no association!. I am not blasting Iskcon or anything, I love all devotees. I know many Iskcon devotees. It's the Leaders, if you are Madhayama-adikari you should NOT have elaborate Guru-puja and try to fool your disicple And Krishna? Do you really think Krishna is fooled? Or pleased? Can you imagine yourself being worshipped (go on try it for a moment). I have seen pictures with Iskcon Gurus in a picture. I see them as Madhayama-adikaris. They can 'fall' at any time. It says (people seem to like to ignore me when i say this'. A devotee cannot become Uttama without the direct association of an Uttama. Is there any such devotee in Iskcon. Did Prabhupada not say Goto BR Sridhara Maharaja? Did Prabhupada not tell Narayana Maharaja to guide disicples? All of Iskcon, (gurus) should promtly goto Narayana Maharaja (who came from Goloka) and take His Siksa (not diksya!). If you are Madhayama-adikari then you should be pleased to goto such an advanced devotee (who is siksa disciple of Prabhupada). Hare Krishna. Dandavats.

The original Sanskit have been in exsistance since 5000 years ago or more, even Shankracarya (The Leader of the Mayavadis), accepted the 700 verses as athethentic, so there is no doubt regarding is athenticity (if it has been changed or interpolenated) AS it is carried (by Divya-jnana (transcedental realization to the living enity (soul), by living Scriptures (Spiritual masters). Srila Prabhupada for the first time gave an athentic translation. Following the succession. >>Brahma>>Narada>>Vyasa>>Madhavacharya>> (..) Chaitanya Mahaprabhu>> (..) Bhaktisiddhanta>> Prabhupada.

No no, when Mahaprabhu comes it changes. Kali-yuga previous went on as normal. When Mahaprabhu appears everything changes.

www.purebhakti.com/library Going Beyond Vaikuntha These translated lectures comprise the immaculate commentary of Srila Bhaktivedanta Narayana Maharaja on Srila Sanatana Goswamipada's Sri Brhad-bhagavatamrta. Descriptions given tell how, having recently arrived in Sri Vaikuntha-dhama, the most desirable of places and which entrance into is sought after by unlimited saintly persons, Gopa-kumar is feeling despondent and cannot even ascertain the cause of his own dissatisfaction. At that time he is approached by Sri Narada Rsi, who becomes his siksa-guru (instructing spiritual master) and enlightens him with the tattva necessary to complete his spiritual journey and thereby attain the fulfilment of all his long cherished internal desires — the transcendental land of spontaneous loving devotion to Sri Sri Radha-Govinda, Sri Goloka-Vraja.

I read this book, and love it. (6 months ago)

Hare Krishna. Lord Krishna and Arjuna were speaking the Bhagavad-gita As It Is, Vedya-vyasa hearing this and at the same time recited to Ganapati who wrote it down (Bhagavad-gita is within the Mahabharata). It says Vedya-vyasa wrote down all the Scriptures, so Ganapati wrote down ONLY Mahabharata right? Did Vedya-vyasa write down the Scriptures in meditation later (after the Battlefield of Kurukshetra?). Or while it took place. ?

Mahaprabhu when He comes there is no Kali-yuga, Prabhupada was trying to scare.! So we will try to get out sooner. Anyway, doesn't make any difference. To say there will be no more Hare Krishna, but not say How? I think answers itself. There is actually no quotes in Vedic Scriptures to say this will happen. Surely Prabhupada IS/was trying to scare us. Anyway, whether people believe or not. Upto them. Radhe Radhe

Sri Vaishnava's would like to go to Lord Sri Vishnu. (God), Gaudiya Vaishnava's would Love (love of God) to go to Krishna. I don't know which is more difficult. In Vaikunthaloka there is Awe and Reverence (servitor ship). In Goloka there is no Awe and Reverence. (there is Sakya-Bhava (friendship) and Vatsalya-Bhava (paternal).. (ETC).. Nobody gave Krishna-prema (love of Krishna) in 1000 Yuga's (Cycles of Ages) other than Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu. (who is Krishna Himself), And it shall not happen for another 1000 Ages.

Whats the doubt?

Just read Prabhupada books

You want to be void do you? Sit in a confined place, with no light. Blind-folded. Ears covered. No sound, no movement. See how you feel. You''d think going to the toilet is an experience. Hehe

As the story goes, long ago was Vedic Culture, Krishna left Planet. etc. Then Buddisum arose, but Shankracharya came (to give knowledge of Advaita) Which is 'everything is spiritual'. And He said Vishnu exsists but not in this World. But His followers rejected His terms a little and said Vishnu body is material. And nothing exsists except Brahman (this is where Mayavadis go). Also called Mahakalapurna-loka (sanskrit for Mayavadi-loka). So the choice begins again later. Whether to serve God or Maya? Good luck. NB. Teaching Buddists about Vedic Scriptures, Shankracharya gave them something they could understand. But He always said Krishna was not of this World. His followers later rejected this.

Yes, Impersonal Liberation. Here is some steps: 1. Become Mayavadi 2. Give up Krishna. Result: Impersonal Liberation Conclution: Loose Krishna. == You have 2 posts to think about it.

lol. yes. I don't know. We just babies yet. (not this body). So if we suffer little (we probably need to), we realize this world is not so nice. Then we progress. I had that feeling before what you had about having Impersonal Liberation, sometimes my mind gets better of me. I thought how blissful to not be around people (just Brahman). No father, mother, etc. That makes me feel good. Al Pachino says in Godfather 'Just when i thought I was out, he pulled me right back in' Krishna does that everytime to me. His got some special powers fsure.
