  1. Hare Krishna! Praise Lord Caitanya!
  2. That's why webcams exist, heh. They should not charge a dime though.
  3. Let's assume just for the sake of assuming that all souls in maya get liberated, over however many trillions of years that may take. My question can this ever happen?
  4. You're writing a book gHari? what's it gonna be about? I thought we had had a cool dude to spread KC to the people with George Harrison, but he died. And then Shelter and 108 broke up... we need new people.
  5. Hare Krishna Wow that is really interesting, and far and above me haha. Was Srila Prabhupada saying that NASA never landed on another planet? or just that this other planet they landed on was not the real moon?
  6. That's actually pretty weird when you think about it.

    Hare Krishna

    In the middle of a forest? :\
  8. The mantra is said: Hare Krishna Hare Krishna Krishna Krishna Hare Hare Hare Rama Hare Rama Rama Rama Hare Hare Now my question is, why Rama? I know Krishna is the purest name of Godhead, but out of the many avataras of Krishna why is Rama the one in the mantra?
  9. Ever sit in a room of people and look around, but wanting to see their souls not a physical form?
  10. But people who take a birth on a heavenly planet can still fall and be born back on Earth, so that can be said for any number of people.
  11. There is a band that I can't seem to get much info on but I know exist called Brief Candles. I'm pretty sure that they're devotees as they used Srila Prabhupada's voice in their song. I think I seen one of their interviews on a Krishna Conscious site once too.
  12. Well once you're aware of someone's problems you automatically because part of the problem in a way, because you aren't helping them. Maybe the best way to deal with people we see making mistakes is to try to talk to them, and also to lead by example.
  13. Wow that is a scary thought that ISKCON might actually be evolving into something that won't praise Krishna personally. I don't know if I can really see it happening though, because even if they allow these people in ISKCON I think the devotees would probably try to teach them the errors of their ways and lead them to a personal relationship with Krishna, at least I'd like to think that would happen. This is one big problem with Christianity in my eyes, it's very laxed, not that it is always a bad things. But when this position directly interferes with the core teachings of your religion then it does become something of a bad thing, and a danger to the cause.
  14. We don't want to seem "holier than thou" and scare people off like some Christian preachers do. But on the other hand like you said why should we lay down like dogs and just take out verbal beatings with a smile. I personally don't know how to really deal with people with such hard hearts that they think Jesus or someone else is the only way back to God. I hope that God, who they claim they love so much, can make their hearts less hard so that they can understand other religions are just as valid as theirs.
  15. I don't really believe that either, Srila Prabhupada said himself there are many paths to God, Hinduism and Krishna Consciousness are only two of them... I don't want to have an egotistical attitude about my religion, because that in itself has the ability to bring out hate, I think. In a perfect world we could all have the religion that feels right for us and we could all live in peace without all this hate and putting down others. I love Lord Krishna so don't get me wrong, I'd love for more people in the world to be striving for Krishna Consciousness, but I'm fine if they have their own paths to God too, through Christianity or Islam or whatever they want to be.
  16. I've been in a lot of religious chat rooms lately, all different religions. Not at all preaching to anyone Krishna Consciousness but not hiding my religion either. One thing I've notice is the scary amount of hate that people have in their hearts. First I noticed it between the Jewish people and the Muslims, they would tear people apart verbally with absolutely no respect for each other's feelings or soul. Then in the Christian/catholic rooms I see so many saying things like "if you do not accept Jesus you will burn in hell". Well I can deal with ignorant people saying such close minded things, but it does hurt me deeply that THESE people themselves actually think that. I know in my heart that Jesus is not the only way back home to God, and I respect all religions, but I'm having a hard time dealing with all this hate people are harboring in their hearts. It hurts me to think that they have the right to ridicule valid religious paths like Hinduism and Krishna Consciousness based on the fact that it isn't THEIR religion. So if anyone has any tips for me on how to emotionally deal with all this hate that I feel around me I'd be very grateful.
  17. Yes, it's so important to read, it is the real air in our lungs that helps us keep living. I try to read the Bhagavad-Gita and understand it, and I can to some extent. But listening to other devotees read it, even without giving their opinions on it makes it so much more special, and I can understand Krishna a little better every time something else clicks for me.
