  1. <center> <font color=red>Life Itself</font><font color=blue> You are the One. You are my love. You send the rain and bring the sun. You stand alone and speak the truth. You are the breath of life itself. Oh yes you are. You are the One. You're in my dream. I hold you there in high esteem. I need you more each step I take. You are the love in life itself. Oh yes you are. You are the One. You are the One that I'd die for And you're all that is real. You are the essence of that which We taste, touch and feel. You are the One, No matter what. You are the real love that I've got. You are my friend and when life's through, You are the light in death itself. Oh yes you are. You are the One. They call you Christ, Visnu, Buddha, Jehovah, Our Lord. You are Govinda, Bismillah, Creator of All. You are the One, No matter what. You are the real love that I've got. You are my friend and when life's through, You are the light in death itself. Oh yes you are. You are the One. You are my love. You send the rain and bring the sun. You stand alone and speak the truth. You are the breath of life itself. Oh yes you are. The breath of life itself, Oh yes you are.

  4. My Sweet George, Thank you forever for the Hare Krishna Mahamantra. I didn't even know what it was when I would sing along with you. Now it is my life. May Krsna be pleased with you for that. gHari Glorify George here: http://newsvote.bbc.co.uk/hi/english/talking_point/newsid_1432000/1432108.stm

    Bead Bags

    Okay, here is the scam: as your marketing manager, Gauracandra, I propose the following marketing strategy. It is similar in nature to popular pyramid schemes and utilizes minimal collateral investment. It is guararteed to work; providing the all-important volumes we will need to make the monthly astrological bags the must-to-own too-cool designer style of the third milennium. Each devotee here will choose a local park in his neighborhood and sit down quietly and chant japa daily, perhaps concluding with a little bhajana with an instrument. People will hear and eventually become curious. They will be told that this is the method to enter into the Kingdom of God. The sincere Christians are already seeking the Kingdom. The really sincere ones will hear the truth and feel the power of the Mahamantra. Once they are addicted, they will of course want a new bag for each month, and then can select their own neighborhood park in which to chant. Gradually passers-by will become intrigued and they too will learn the secret. And so on, and so on, and so on. Current market estimates, based on North American demographics, would give us about one percent of the population, mostly younger unattached people who have not yet abandoned the search for the Kingdom (NOTE: excludes some 49% who are just going through the motions appearing to search but who are actually just fitting in to their peer group). However, as an initial target market this still represents several million chanters, at twelve bags a year which will generate a revenue of at least 100 million bucks a year. You can have all the proceeds. My cut is that the new designer chanters will worship me and those I may designate in the future as God. If JR objects, I will cut her in on the glory - perhaps even giving her sole rights for bead bag design. It will be a boon to her feminist thing, having a female worshiped as God.

  14. Thank you, Bhakta Shab. That is exactly what our Darwin had been hoping to find. It looks like a dozen hours of mandatory thrilling listening, Darwin Prabhu. I'm halfway through the first of the dozen science lectures, and I know you'll be totally enthralled. http://www.harekrishna.asn.au/speakers/sataputa_das/sataputa_das.htm ------------------ Gary Stevason Seeking the Kingdom of God
  15. Ahah! But you will only make a mint if you can spread this wonderful japa pastime throughout every town and village. I hope you make a bundle. BTW, that's how I discovered double-bagging it. I was too attached to the picture on the worn-out bag.

  17. White supremacists make me ashamed to be 'white'. This guy makes me ashamed to be a goy. Stupid people should not be allowed to hold opinions, although this would likely be difficult to legislate. Perhaps if we make the Jeopardy answers more difficult, the cereal boxes more esoteric, and video games harder, they would realize their incompetence. Unfortunately the world is full of such idiots; they are killing each other in Afghanistan, Palestine, Ireland and on every street corner in the world.

  19. Charlie D, You've turned the corner, Prabhu Darwin. I remember making that change of heart, change of mode, big turn to Krsna. The momentum has turned and you are no longer alone. Krsna will teach you from the Bhagavad-gita daily. It just keeps on getting better from here on in. I am so very happy that you were able to take that last step. gHari
  20. Perhaps our karma manifests in part through genetic make-up. This sounds like a Darwin topic. But crappy karma and we wear the jeans of a dog, so maybe it all fits into the big picture nicely.
  21. I've discovered that wearing two bead bags, one within the other is good for cold weather. You can even use the outer one as a pocket to keep Deity flowers in. I remember when at the temple I had left my beads and camera (since it had Deity pictures in it, hmmmm) outside the washroom for a minute while I washed my mouth after a Sunday feast. When I came out someone had stolen the camera. I was so relieved that the beads were still there that it almost offset most of the anxiety about the loss. Really, they are our only possessions.

  24. While I have not been as successful as I would have hoped (at least not yet), based on my intimate relationship with my thirty year old son I can possibly give a few ideas. I used to try to remember Nanda Maharaja when I was with my son. I somehow got the idea that his mischievous actions would not affect me as much. It seemed to work. The other most important lesson from Prabhupada is the story of watering the root of the tree and therefore all the branches and twigs will be nourished properly. If we concentrate on loving Sri Krsna we will naturally be perfect parents and spouses. Of course, setting a perfect Krsna conscious example complete with all vaishnava qualities will be best for setting the standard that the child will respect and emulate. When the world pulls them this way and that way, they will have a superior standard from which to reject the nonsense around them. I abhor negative reinforcement and never had to harm my son in any way. Love can work. Although perhaps he was good many times simply out of respect, yet now for the most part he is still a good person - just a little covered over with the dirt of the Yuga. But somewhere not too far underneath is a vaishnava to whom one day I will bow. For them too, even if only as a starter, learning that the center is Krsna will keep them safe from a lot until it is time for them to reject the glitter of the world for good.
  25. Only a mayavadi could possibly twist such sweetness into mayavadi philosophy. What nonsense, start to finish. If I say a car is driven by the steering wheel, that is true. I can further explain as does Prabhupada in the quotes you obviously did not understand or read, that the car is driven by George Smith. Both statements can be true. One offers less information. Will you leap to conclusions here and contend that cars drive themselves? Will you 'equate' like a robot the words 'steering wheel' with 'George Smith', thereby concluding that I am suggesting that George Smith is a steering wheel? Here I fear that mayavadi may be in the eye of the beholder; using nonsensical 'logic' to produce mayavadi from thin air. Certainly no one can be less of a mayavadi than I. When I see the painting of Arjuna and Krsna on Arjuna's chariot I see the essence of the Gita: surrender to Krsna. I would be very surprised if Krsna did not stage this most famous conversation purposefully on the chariot just to create this very memorable multi-level pun for our dull minds to remember. Sorry, I didn't read much of your response. This whole thing is too stupid to deal with. You may want to apply your same 'logic' to the words of Srila Prabhupada quoted above and ask yourself sincerely if he is equating Paramatma to the intelligence. I do not feel compelled to offer anything more. And quite less compelled to read anything more.
