What a great post. That spider def had the right idea. Made me smile. It was helping Lord Ramachandra build a bridge. If the Lord was so pleased with this, I wonder how pleased Prabhupada was with all the young devotees who rendered service to him.?

Is serving that God. [Param-Brahman].

Impersonalisum means believing God to have no personal form, but is all-prevading, without any form. The NEXT step from this would be, then if God is everywhere this means I am also God. THIS is Mayavadisum. Saying I am God. The thing about both is, they both want to have impersonal realization of God, whether they believe they are God or not. So THE first step in realization is Brahman realization [i am sure you know this already]. Prabhupada mentions this in Gita, that realization comes in 3 stages, Brahman, Paramatma, and lastly Bhagavan. I write some more if you need to know anything.!

/images/graemlins/smile.gif I just need the e-mail of my Manchester temple. Or I may phone them. I don't actually know them, so maybe it will be good to meet with them. Hopefully this can happen in soon... [Never know may take months]. Lord Nitai is sooooo merciful. I will pray for His mercy.

See what happens.. I actually still have not installed them, but I see them everyday. Maybe I should ask them what they want? /images/graemlins/smile.gif I made this post weeks ago, maybe it's sign I should ask somebody.

Just what I wanted to hear /images/graemlins/smile.gif

I actually have the book on file. I have no idea what the first devotee guest is talking about. The commentaries are by Visawnatha Cakravati Thakura and Bhaktivinoda Thakura, and most of it is in English. It's by pure devotee!

Hare Krishna, I just came to the realization, that when we repeat the words of Guru, it is Not for Ourself, or our own benefit for sense gratification, BUT for the betterment of others. For example telling somebody to give up meat-eating and getting angry is NOT for our own sense gratification. GGGGGGGGgaura-nitai Haribol!!!

You know what I think? Many are not making any kind of dynamic preaching, on the internet because of these copyrights, and are afraid.. That said [i am afraid of one person, His name starts with P and N. [Prabhupada and Nityananda]. There is a recording of Gita on Bhagavad-gita Interactive CD, Sanskrit and English, this is a clean version with no music background. I may put it on my site. Converting to RM. Is really saving me lots of bandwidth. This is not the same as Gitamrta.org, but I am sure you won't mind me doing it. But I doubt I can, we can only try. Jai Sri KRISHNA! gAURA-NITAI HARIIIIIIIIIIIIII

Just found this- http://sonique.lycos.com/sonique2/ Thought to be the best..Player.

Anybody has a SPARE, copy they can send me! E-mail me I will give my details. pankaja_dasa@ I really really want to read it. I had a dream about it, 2 times now!

It was lying around, thought I'd take a look. My view is that whether it's 'humane' killing or not. It's still killing.. But I remember the story with Narada Muni, when he said to the hunter, that why he made the animals suffer so much? And how was the hunters mentality changed? Rama Rama.

Sorry I have 2 nicks here now. Govindaram [old] and pankaja_dasa. I didn't ask anybody permission to put Chaitanya Bhagavata, if devotees have issue ... I am sure WHEN THEY FIND TIME [LOL ?] they will let me know.. Until then Lord Nityananda is telling me upload this. Right now listening to Bhagavatam... Ps. You don't need permission for the actual text. The Original Sanskrit [copyright Goloka] But the English Translations you do, I have been told. This is so people might not misrepresent your work. But if your not going to misrepresenent then why wait? We have NO TIME! To ask permission. /images/graemlins/grin.gif

3. The Meaning of the Name "Krsna" Next-The meaning of the name "Krsna": The name Krsna means "all-attractive." God attracts everyone; that is the definition of "God." We have seen many pictures of Krsna, and we see that He attracts the cows, calves, birds, beasts, trees, plants, and even the water in Vrndavana. He is attractive to the cowherd boys, to the gopis, to Nanda Maharaja, to the Pandavas, and to all human society. Therefore if any particular name can be given to God, that name is "Krsna."

Purport to Gaurangera Duti . -- Los Angeles, January 6, 1969 CD13 01-Gaurangera Duti ..mp3 CD13 02-Purport.mp3 Prabhupada: Gaurangera duti ., yara dhana sampada, sei jane bhakati-rasa-sara. This is another song composed by Narottama das Thakura, and he says that <font color="blue"> “One who has accepted the lotus feet of Lord Caitanya, in other words, one who has the only asset of possession, the two feet of Lord Caitanya, such person is supposed to know what is the essence of devotional service.” </font color>Sei jane bhakati-rasa-sara. What is the purport of devotional service, or what is the humor of devotional service, can be understood by a person who has accepted Lord Caitanya’s lotus feet as everything. The idea is that actually Lord Caitanya, He is Krishna Himself, and He is teaching devotional sevvice to the living entities personally. Directly. Therefore the modes of devotional service, as taught by Lord Caitanya, is the most perfect. There cannot be any doubt. The expert, or the master, is teaching the servant how to work. If a... If somebody is master of some engineering work and he is personally teaching some assistant, that teaching, instruction, is most perfect. Similarly, Lord Krishna Himself, in the role of a devotee, is teaching devotional service. Therefore the path chalked out by Lord Krishna is the most feasible way for perfection to devotional service. Sei jane bhakati rasa sara. Sara means essence. And then he says, gaurangera madhuri-lila, yara karne pravesila. Now he comes to the pastimes of Lord Caitanya. He says that “Lord Caitanya’s pastimes are also as much transcendental as Lord Krishna’s.” As in the Bhagavad-gita it is said that anyone who can simply understand the transcendental appearance, disappearance, activities, work of Krishna, he immediately becomes eligible to enter into the kingdom of God. Simply by understanding the pastimes and the work, transcendental activities of Krishna. Similarly, one who enters into the pastimes of Lord Caitanya, he immediately becomes freed from all contamination of the heart. Gaurangera madhuri-lila, yara karne pravesila. Karne pravesila means simply one has to receive the message of Lord Caitanya. Karne means in the ear. To give the message a submissive aural reception. Then immediately one’s heart becomes freed from all material contamination. Then he says: yei gaurangera nama laya, tara haya premodaya. Now, the devotees are concerned how to develop love of Godhead. Narottama dasa Thakura recommends that anyone who simply chants sri-krishna-caitanya prabhu-nityananda...’’ Gauranga means with all this paraphernalia. As soon as we speak of gauranga, we should mean the five: Lord Nityananda, Advaita, Gadadhara, and Srivasa. All together. So yei gaurangera nama laya, anyone who chants, immediately he will develop love of Godhead. Yei gaurangera nama laya, tara haya premodaya, tare mui jaya bole hari. Narottama dasa Thakura says “I offer him all congratulation.’’ Because it is certain that he has developed love of Godhead. Then he says, gauranga-gunete jhure, nitya-lila tare sphure. Anyone, if he cries by simply by hearing the transcendental qualities of Caitanya Mahaprabhu, he at once understands what is the loving affairs between Radha and Krishna. Nitya-lila means the pastimes, or the loving exchange, affairs between Radha and Krishna, that is eternal. That is not temporary. We should not think that Radha-Krishna pastimes, loving affairs, is just like the business of a, of a young boy or girl, as we see in this material world. Such loving affairs is not at all loving affairs. They are lusty affairs, and they are not eternal. Therefore they break. Today I am in love with somebody and next day it breaks. But Radha-Krishna lila is not like that. It is eternal. Therefore that is transcendental and this is temporary. So simply one who is absorbed in the pastimes of Lord Caitanya, he can immediately understand what is the actual position of the loving affairs of Radha-Krishna. Nitya-lila tare sphure. Sei yaya radha-madhava, sei yaya vrajendra-suta pasa. And simply by doing that, he becomes eligible to enter into the abode of Krishna. Vrajendra-suta. Vrajendra-suta means the son of Nanda Maharaja in Vrindavana. He’s sure to go to associate with Krishna in his next birth. Gaurangera sange-gane, nitya-siddha boli mane. Anyone who has understood that the associates of Lord Caitanya, they are not ordinary conditioned souls... They are liberated souls. Nitya-siddha bole mani. There are three kinds of devotees. One is called sadhana-siddha. Sadhana-siddha means by following the regulative principles of devotional service, if one becomes perfect, he’s called sadhana-siddha. Another devotee is called kripa-siddha. Kripa-siddha means even if he has not followed strictly all the regulative principle, still, by the mercy of acarya or a devotee, or by Krishna, he is elevated to the perfectional stage. That is specially. And another devotee is called nitya-siddha. Nitya-siddha means they were never contaminated. The sadhana-siddha and kripa-siddha was contaminated by material touch, and by following regulative principles or by the mercy or grace of some devotee and acarya they’re elevated to the perfectional state. But nitya-siddha means they were never contaminated. They’re ever liberated. So all the associates of Lord Caitanya, just like Advaita Prabhu, Srivasa, Gadadhara, Nityananda, they are Vishnu-tattva. They are all liberated. Not only they, the Gosvamis... There are many others. So they are ever-liberated. So one who can understand that the associates of Lord Caitanya are ever-liberated... Nitya-siddha bale mani, sei yaya vrajendra suta-pasa. Immediately he becomes eligible to enter into the abode of Krishna. And then he says, gauda-mandala-bhumi, yeba jani cintamani. A... The gaura-mandala means the place in West Bengal wherein Lord Caitanya had His pastimes. In Navadvipa, during Lord Caitanya’s birth anniversary, the devotees go and circumambulate different places of Lord Caitanya’s pastimes. It takes nine days. So that portion of Bengal is called gauda-mandala. So Narottama dasa Thakura says, “One who understands that there is no difference between this part of the country with Vrindavana,” tara haya vraja-bhumi vasa, “it is as good as one lives in Vrindavana.” Then he says, gaura-prema rasarnarve. Lord Caitanya’s activities is just like an ocean of loving affairs of Krishna. Therefore one who takes a dip into this ocean, gaura-prema-rasarnave, sei taranga yeba dube. Just like we take a dip and bath, and we play, sport, in the waves of the ocean or sea. Similarly, one who takes pleasure, taking a dip and sporting with the waves of the ocean of Lord Caitanya’s distribution of love of God, such a person becomes immediately a confidential devotee of Lord Krishna. Sei radha-madhava-antaranga. Antaranga means not ordinary devotee. They are confidential devotee. And Narottama dasa Thakura says, grihe va vanete thake. “Such devotee, who is taking pleasure in the waves of Lord Caitanya’s movement,” because he has become a very confidential devotee of the Lord... Therefore Narottama dasa Thakura says, “Such devotee, it doesn’t matter whether he’s in the renounced order of life or whether he is a householder.” Griha. Griha means householder. So Caitanya Mahaprabhu’s movement does not say that one has to become a renounced order, sannyasi. Just like Mayavadi sannyasis, impersonalists, Sankaracarya, they first, they put the first condition that “You take up the renounced order of life first, and then talk of spiritual advancement.” So in Sankara sampradaya nobody is accepted as bona fide impersonalist unless he has accepted the renounced order of life. But here, in Caitanya’s movement, there is no such restriction. Advaita Prabhu, He was a householder. Nityananda, He was householder. Gadadhara, He was also householder. And Srivasa, he was also householder. And Caitanya Mahaprabhu also married twice. So it doesn’t matter. Narottama dasa Thakura says that to become in renounced order of life, or to remain in householder life, that does not matter. If he is actually taking part in the movements of Caitanya’s sankirtana activities and actually understanding what it is, he is taking sport in the waves of such devotional ocean, then such person is always liberated. And Narottama dasa Thakura is aspiring his association ever increasingly. That is the sum and substance of this song. (end)

I need to convert Ra. [Realplayer] Audio files to MP3. For FREE.

An oath of loyalty to Krishna? This is Instritutuolization. Creating some kind of Neophyte sectarian devotees, who say only Iskcon is the way. I've spoken to One Guru in Iskcon, who said to me 'Good luck in your path to Krishna' like I was some kind of heathen on crack, and that I didn't serve Prabhupada/Guru/Gauranga, that I was serving the devil Himself! I am bit sensitive when it comes to my own KC. I WONDER HOW many people have gone away from Krishna, to date? Any excuse... Thi sis not gripe against The Guru, but when an neophyte sickly person like me, who doesn't know a THING can see this. Then I am not surprized why people have no respect [thats normal] but PLEASE have respect for humanity! I still feel bad as you can see, maybe I was looking for praise from this devotee, but when you PROFESS to be a GURU. And you don't show the quality, then get you head down cause Lord Gauranga will see what your doing.!!!

You never passed your Bhakti sastri.

I was just passing on a comment. haribol.
