  1. Dude pleads guilty: http://www.chalomumbai.com/asp/article.asp?cat_id=29&art_id=18437&cat_code=2F574841545F535F4F4E5F4D554D4241492F5441415A415F4B4841424152
  2. You may have happily noticed how Origen embraced reincarnation. If anyone else enjoyed this philosophical discussion of the concepts of Origen, considered the founder of Christian philosophy, I would be happy to post the other dozen or so involving Srila Prabhupada's take on the theories of Kant, Augustine, and the other biggies. It seems that Hayagriva das had a very strong philosophy background and was able to present these ideas very capably. There are even some very informative discussions relating to modern thinkers like Skinner, Jung and Freud. Here it seems that Syamasundara das had a strong psychology background. But for now, please indulge me as I post a few more Paramatma slash Holy Ghost references: <ul>Excerpt from Bhagavad-gita Chapter 7 lecture May 24, 1975: During a morning walk on May 15th 1976: Portion of a conversation with Wayne University President on June 15th 1976: Part of a letter to Sivananda das on April 19th 1968:

  5. Crucified for these words by the pundits years ago, I now find that they also emanated from the lotus lips of His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada: All glories to the devotees who created this wonderful Folio Vedabase. I had never backed down from my position, but now there can be no further anguish from my superiors about it. gHari ------------------ Gary Stevason Seeking the Kingdom of God
  6. Loneliness is having attachments - attachments that can only be satisfied by others, like ego maintenance, seks, and whatever. Only when you are not attached are you with Paramatma; like the metaphor of the two birds in the tree: one waiting on the other to stop enjoying the fruits of the tree and turn to Him. When right desire is great enough it can overcome these various attachments. Then Krsna will give a much higher attachment to eventually overpower the others. Then you are free - free as a bird.<font size=-3><font color="#dedfdf"> [This message has been edited by gHari (edited 12-12-2001).]
  7. One of his wives said his elder sons will kill him on TV and his 'martyrdom' will release a wave of terror in Washington, London and Paris: http://www.hindustantimes.com/nonfram/111201/detfro06.asp How do so many buy into this jihad excrement? Surely they realize that the last thing we would do if they did destroy all 'infidels' is nuke the hell out of all Muslim nations. These degenerates are not only crazy, they are obviously very stupid. It seems to me that we need to employ genuinely religious Muslim clerics to get the real message out to crush this nonsense fundamentalism once and for all - even if we have to rewrite the book, making it a little more idiot-proof. Funding the sane Moslem religionists seems like a cheap way of curbing future radicals. A few billion is a drop in the bucket compared to what we will eventually spend to get these psychotics under control, not to mention the priceless lives that will be wasted on both sides.
  8. Yes, I too avoid sadist sanga like the plague. Nothing worse than a born again agnostic.
  9. Let's face it. ISKCON blew it. Even I do not admit being involved; feeling like the apostle who denied Jesus thrice that fateful night. North America knows only too well the dark past of the Hare Krishnas. It will take a long time to turn things around. I have great respect for those brave preachers still there who are doing an amazing job against all odds. But I have learned the hard way to keep my identity a secret on the job and in my neighborhood. This wasn't the case in the seventies, before we started measuring our sankirtana success in Laksmi points, changing up and being down right repulsive just to meet our quota. This was not the character of Lord Caitanya. George could see that. I could see that. Every media reporter could see that. It will be a long time before the media will feel right about encouraging anyone to give any credence to that crazy cult.
  10. I will be very surprised if it all didn't start back when Sodamn Insane made those threats at the end of Desert Storm. I became very apprehensive when I heard his threats, and through dreams I had felt some guilt and anguish about the bombing of innocents in Bhagdad (dreaming that I was being bombed in my bed, planes thundering over above). I don't know what to do about Palestine and Israel. It is these little girl leaders of proud nations that are causing this whole mess. All over some dirt. Some bloody dirt,

  13. Of course, he's right. I have lived alone since 1974. I've never been lonely, except for a few times when 'vaishnavas' have been rude to me, betraying their puffed-up cheating nature. Somehow I was hoping that somewhere there are devotees in the world. I still think there are. But for a few moments there, I really wondered if I was indeed alone.

  14. Mukunda Goswami relates his "Memories Of My Sweet George": Mukunda Goswami is an emeritus member of the ISKCON Governing Body Commission and was with George Harrison during his last moments, chanting quietly. Thank you for being there for him, Mukunda Goswami.

  16. Bonggggggg! At this age of the debate and at this age of our bodies only answer h (and possibly f) are sensible. All other responses will be met with Bingo's version of e, wholly jihad. I wish you all all success with Sri Krsna, no matter where you feel you originated.
  17. If someone says that the soul was first in the Kingdom of God, but later fell down into this masty world, would you: <blockquote>a) agree, b) disagree, c) disagree violently, d) disagree with violence, e) invoke Holy jihad, f) shout "Acintya", g) talk about birds and fruit in trees, h) smile and get on with your life? </blockquote>

    Bingo!

    Video found in a private home in Jalalabad confirms Bingo as WTC attack planner: http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/articleshow.asp?art_id=1582088527 He is personally leading the defence now in Tora Bora, now running into the forests, eagerly awaiting his seventy virgins. And I thought we were religios psychotics!

  23. News of George's will may be incorrect. It appears that the story that seems to have begun in the India Times from an undisclosed Indian source was the input to the rest of the media stories. It does, however, seem quite likely that George has arranged to build a million dollar Temple in India. http://chakra.org/articles/2001/12/07/g.harrison.false.reports/index.htm I fear I too have spread this story around before being certain that it was accurate. After seeing it in several places I foolishly assumed it had come from several sources. And it did make sense, from a variety of points of view. Certainly if Krsna wants George to come back to continue to serve Him, then making ISKCON strong and building a Temple at one's favorite retreat spot would heighten one's chances and speed in finding devotional service again, avoiding those grey cloudy lies of mundane existence without Him. Indeed, that is my only fear. Well at least if George does return, right from the womb he will be listening to My Sweet Lord all over the radio. I can see a certain karmic poetry there. "O almighty Lord, I have no desire to accumulate wealth, nor do I desire beautiful women, nor do I want any number of followers. I only want Your causeless devotional service birth after birth." - Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu, Siksastaka 4<font size=-3><font color="#f7f7f7"> [This message has been edited by gHari (edited 12-07-2001).]
  24. Leyh, I too liked the answer. It reminded me of the omnipotence paradox posed to Srila Prabhupada about whether Krsna could make a rock that he could not lift. He said yes, He would make a rock that He could not lift. And then He would lift it. Acintya covers a lot too. But the real answer here is that the question is a waste of time; the flickering mind seeking attention by throwing red herring word puzzles in our path. The real answer is the one you have, complemented gently with this revelation and the solution to quieting such a troublesome mind. I can almost hear Prabhupada now: a little down to basics perspective and motivation, concluding in "Chant Hare Krsna". He would so cleverly work the conversation around until he was giving the medicine the audience really needed. The expert doctor treats the cause as well as the symptom. "My, you have a big bad question on your knee there. Lets first fix it and then figure out how it got there, so maybe we can prevent more from slowing you down in the future". I have to admit though, it is not readily apparent to me how to eloquently transition from treating the symptom, to treating the cause in this case. They are motivated to take the symptom medicine. Somehow we have to create an interest in the cause medicine. Well, I seem to be flickering in and out of consciousness here, so I can only hope my comments made some sort of sense. gHari Ooops, still awake. Sort of. I really like the way you gave them all sorts of good info while providing your answer. This will give their mind something meaningful to amuse itself with for a while.
