Hey, I liked that Gauracandra! Now maybe I might get off the computer and do something 'constructive.'

Traditionally, the Gaudiya Matha has been comprised mainly of brahmacaries and sannyasis. I have heard that Srila Prabhupada's godbrothers have thought that Prabhupada has been so successful in spreading Krsna consciousness because of his inclusion of women and grhasthas.

Nude robbers?! Sounds like an inauspicious omen to me. [This message has been edited by cakora (edited 12-26-2001).]

It is said that if one is conscious of Paramatma (SuperSoul) within the heart - then one will never be lonely, as you realize your best friend, Krsna, is always with you. I remember once when I was going to Mayapura, a few years back, I went to the Temple President to get an intro letter to get free accomodation in one of rooms the Temple had bought at the Lotus building. The TP wanted to know if I was travelling with anyone and I replied 'no'. Then he wanted to know if I was going 'alone alone'. I paused momentarily, as I thought I already made myself clear that I was not travelling with anyone else. I reflected briefly more deeply this time and replied, 'well, with Krsna.' He responded with rolling his eyes up.

This morning I heard on the radio news that George has been cremated in a Hare Krsna ceremony and that his ashes will be sprinkled in India. Later on, there was also an announcement on George being the spiritual Beatle and then they played an excerpt of him speaking. George explained how he used to drink alcohol in order to get high, but then he realized that to get high, you needed to have pure consciousness - and that drugs and alcohol clouded the consciousness. And that now he no longer takes these substances. Thanks for your contribution to the world, George.

Wow, jijaji! Such profound and accurate use of intuition!

Yeah, why not. I looked up the word 'dogma' in the dictionary, and it said 'principle, tenet, doctrinal system'. I think there is a 'principle' that one's thoughts and actions should be 'uplifting' to one's self. The word dogmatic had a more negative meaning 'imposing personal opinion, arrogant.' I think dogmatic people have successfully infiltrated every known religion to mankind and many misunderstandings exist. Ummm... the 'lead' role? cakora

Congratulations!

Maybe I should wear high heels more often..

Interesting... Then again, on a primal level we all knew this anyway. Also, it's been proven more attractive people tend to be hired more often for jobs. And even, 'ugly' people have been sacked for this reason, although not admitted by the employers.
