Airicky

Why bother? He admits his intent was to show how messed up everyone is and that he has the answer to save the movement. Just read the first paragraph of his last post above this one. He doesn't care what we think and he obviously doesn't want to stop eating meat; if he actually does (is that also part of the game?) It was all a game to create a ruckus. It was a powerplay. Complete waste.

And Allen, you are another example of a huge problem in this world - duplicity. You are perfect. Let us know when you start accepting disciples. Thanks for wasting our time.

Ask the doctor to check him for parasites. Doctors in the United States won't often think of testing for parasites but it is a very common cause of stomach distress. Certain parasites can enter the body thru the skin between the toes particularly in hot tropical climates such as India and if the person walked on the ground barefoot. Remember animals do not use bathrooms but use the ground. Then there is the possibility of contaminated water and food. I will pray for your friend to be well soon. Please let us know how he does.

Please give the reference for this. Which disk is it from? Thanks.

Thanks for the suggestion of the sending them to Christian veggie sites. This could come in very very handy!

Can you please post the links to the Christian Vegetarian sites?

As long as man kills animals and eats their flesh; there can be no true and eternal peace. And if God had meant for man to fly; he would have given him wings. And they will continue to come back and live long lifes in this hellish material world until they learn to quit killing and eating their brothers.

Miracle Gro contains a substance called Urea Phosphate. Isn't Urea urine? The most common place for a company to obtain urine for their products is a slaughterhouse. I was told by a temple Tulasi caretaker that he uses Miracle Gro. Is Urea Phosphate something different from a urine product?

I agree with the guest that told you to just do it. Sorry if it offends you but I say it like it is. I have been vegetarian since the late sixties and the longer I don't eat meat the more the idea of torturing the animals sickens me. If you can still eat meat or it makes you want to eat it all the more after hearing that they too suffer and feel fear and pain then I feel badly for you. I also agree that if you go to the temple and eat the Krishna prasadam and chant then your heart will begin to soften. Good luck.

Yes, that made Airicky smile.

Is there more than one person using Anadi i.d.?

Thank you for clarifying that. Next time just say something like "I think what Prabhupada really said was...." or "Are you sure? I seem to remember...."

Sorry, got it backwards. Prabhupada told us that preaching is the essence and books are the basis. BTW, you don't have to yell to get your point across Anadi.

Do you believe in transmigration of the soul? if so, that should be enough to do it. If not, whatch the PETA movie "Meet Your Meat". Just go to PETA website and order it for free. The animals that are being slaughtered for the temporary pleasure of your tongue feel intense fear and pain by the act. They also feel love and pleasure when treated with respect and love. Kinda like you right? If someone takes a weapon to you and you can not defend yourself, then you will feel pain and fear. If someone treats you with loving kindness then you feel pleasure and love. Take this anyway you like but going to the fast food restaurant or buying that steak in the supermarket implicates you in murder even if you are not the one that dealt the death blow. And those who murder pay the price. If you murder a person you are punished by the government laws. Murder an animal for the pleasure of your tongue and the Supreme Law will deal out your punishment. It is a lose lose situation. Just think about the animals fear and silent screams of anquish next time you bite down into that steak. Bon Appetit

Prabhupada taught that his books are the essence. Devotee association is very important but his books are the essence. Anybody can say anything they want on the internet. They can lay claims to all kinds of stuff including hearing from a bona fide spiritual master. Names, places, activities and history, even supposed knowledge, can all be fabricated behind the screen. The internet can be a great place but it also can be like some fictional movie with actors playing parts. Some play these parts better than others. We can only place our faith and trust in Srila Prabhupada and Lord Krishna. If we surrender fully at the Lotus Feet of guru and Krishna we will always find ourselves on the right path.

Well, in one thread you had the gull to say Lord Caitanya was wrong. Then you suggest we read Mayavadi interpretations of Bhagavad-gita. wrong forum to come in and say the Supreme Lord is wrong and to push impersonalists philosophies.

Who are you responding to and what is that supposed to mean?

Vijaya Ekadasi was last month on February 24th. On March 25th is Papamocani Ekadasi.

Can you give the verse in Bhagavad-gita please?

Who wrote and who published this book?

Petitions are good but legal action is not out of the realm of possibility http://www.harekrsna.com/sun/editorials/03-06/editorials241.htm

We have always fasted completely for half day; not the ekadasi style fasting as you say. I doubled checked with the temple and they said the half day fast is correct.

Srila Prabhupada is our example and he told us himself that by reading and studying his books very carefully we will be able to know who is true guru and teaching according to sastra, sadhu and guru.
