  1. To Arjuna is been said to him though that Krsna, same God, gives divine eyes so to see him, and My Mercifull Master Acarya is sayin you go on chanting then you go on enjoying it to see.

     

    Be bless man, i think there is a ratha yatra or somethin organized by the brahmacharis in the Temple? I will like to see more howevah !

     

    Then we a gone openin the door and the heart window sort to the evel flyes right a way from Us !

     

    Havin devotee asociations can despell many confutions arrownd our lifes.

  2. jay.. !

    Oh, in order of shaved facehair, way u call it or the mustach its said about cos i have read there that, better not doing it on Ekadasis.

    ¿ when its the right moment for shave it off.. ? I think this has something to do with the moon cycles or something, but no clue i have.

    Among dont wantin it cos when i saw it it appears as not so clean areas though.

     

    --about the Vaisnava tradition i do not know much, among other religions also because of accepting along something natural i think and not intervene over nature.. however, i have been just thinking over this realated has something to do about the Ekadasi ¿?

     

    Thank you. Bolobolo

  3. intrometing the conversation i will like to strees that thing like food that must be chewed, however listed.

    There are like four ways to do so, like drink, or to chew then lick and swallow. From that point of view if noone creates at a time being suffering then it will be allright, as for the things so far goin i have heard about the straight edge among the vaisnavas there are a few but most known the Shelter music and with new CD in it has been done a song called mantra. I like it, is not how is looked but what it has in fruits, them have a great aproach out of from the Bhavagat in the hard-core way of chords, and I think them not even the change to stress the message with struning hard guitars etc etc.. the message behind is great - the message of the bhagavat that is.

     

    From that point no one quick no one, but teaches. and all in peace, (could u imagine that stressing crowd).

     

     

     

    With chewed vegies.. I am glad my MOM is a vegie, i should tell her also imho the Bhagavat She tolds me out About seence a likle child the lost-land we be going to that same golden age and good dishes allrownd, she made so.

     

    Probably am goin to be vegie evah, hope to the people it can´t be a dificult tapasya to folllow, it came natural.. u know?

    ---Even then the plants are not aware of them selfs, just flow withlive´s energy.

  4. Srila Prabhupäda has told so nice, i remember in the Karma Yoga chapter about it exists the Pseudo Devotion to the shaivits devotees (them go on tellin shivo ham shivo ham, i am shiva) that is right, but i can´t know the deep root that it takes in the vedas, that´s why i commited along in followin Don Juan´s teachin - PrabhupÄda refers to the chilum smokin, as with the mushrooms the effect is otherwise diferent because its being chewed anyway, i wonder what is told about vedas couse the truth is that Krsna coincoiusness is not a manufacured realization, so this is pure than no other soma other than krsna lïla most be realized.. other wise its posible if Don Juans querrie can be answered.

     

    He said; -would like real ^answers now^, not dumb herassing ones, real answers from the Vedas.

     

    thnX!

     

    I have been thinking about Kali godess worship, I know they use tilaka and khanti, for what is this also.

    so, i found remarcable few things on ussing the natural plantas or fruits or flower that´s been going on seence .. age and ages for spiritual progress or realization involved in.

     

    ok thank you anyone for that.

     

    Hari bol

  5. Nice Man.

    This yah place, a place to give and share, that´s a holy Forum and to handle truth i think enough though about that.

     

    YOu´re wellcome.

     

    Dharmaraja is a plenary body expantion of that God, you know?

     

    As its said in Naarda Bhakti SUtra 5;(73, 74, 75)-- One should not indulge in argumentative debate, Such argumentation leads to excessive entanglements and is never decisive, One should respect the revealed scriptures of devotional service and discharge the duties they prescribe. ---For the Forum, Sastra is not exclusive in any sense.

     

    I hope too, this makes much more sense, if you look in that way me too aprove your thoughts, am not cualified enough to do so, but in respect I.

     

     

     

     

  6. As in China there where the ancient costume arrownd the Asiatic costumes to put the rice beverage under fermentation an i dont remember if it requires to be under earth anyway.

    However Lord Buddha clarifies it also with the vedic filosofy, because on those times people where aparently avidly missusing the vedanta to make sacrifices as to kill the animals as sacrifice and so on.

     

    Then Lord Buddha apeared there to make it clear.

    That the sacrifice means not to kill nor to indulge in sense gratification.. That i think maybe something out of sense as for the Ascetic Lord Buddha example to the society, But i really didnot know if this Lord Buddha teaches brahmacharia and so on all the Vedic sruti to the people anyway..

    ...

  7. you´re right..

    But i merely figure that it´s may posible to those be positive to a conditioned soul not recomendable.. if you do not know nothing from in the Vedas, maybe one can fall down to it.

    For shure intoxicants are tied to the material reactions this carries, at some point end sometimes guidin people to open conciousness etc.. while i found this at the same time arrasing just to hang onto a blind faith find out of way that why i think it is said clear answers from the Vedas.

     

    This is a nice matter because if some one serches out i think those power plants and other chillums and magikMushrooms arrownd creation i may say that, remember where created at the time when Shiva sankara started swallowin the poison to save the living entities and all is like the pure drops of it, the dops of the poison handle to fell off Shiva Sankara hands and so started to form midsts of snakes and also other living entities as you see, scopions etc..

     

    So obviously it interesting.

    I read not much time ago The teaching of Don Juan.

    Nice book talkin arrownd the teaching of the power plants...

     

    So, see yah !

    haribol!

     

     

  8. June 1973; Mayapura, India;

    Camp: ISKCON, Mayapura Candrodaya Mandir

     

     

    In Mayapur, Srila Prabhupada lived in two rooms. One room was his sitting room where he translated and received guests. Next door was his bedroom, but he also used it to honor prasadam, so there was a small marble prasadam table (choki) set against the wall to the right of his bed.

     

    June is generally very hot, so when Srila Prabhupada took lunch prasadam sometimes I would fan him with a peacock fan. It not only created a breeze but also kept the flies away. However, when Srila Prabhupada took his lunch it immediately became known by the resident ant population. They always had scouts running along the walls and within minutes of putting his plate on the table, they would call in the battalions. Once, in Los Angeles Srila Prabhupada told me to put some turmeric down at the spots they were entering. It worked in Los Angeles. I suppose those ants were more materialistic. The ants in Mayapur could not be stopped. Obviously, they were spiritual entities and they could not be discouraged from taking maha prasadam remnants from the plate of the pure devotee.

     

    I watched as hundreds of ants ascended up the leg of the choki, circling his plate to finally descend upon his prasadam. They seemed to know exactly when they were allowed on a certain preparation. Srila Prabhupada would eat in stages. First there were the vegetables and chapatis, the rice was mixed in later on and then finally the sweets were eaten. Initially they would congregate around the plate. Gradually they would work their way onto the preparations that Srila Prabhupada had finished with. It seemed like the ants had a little courtesy. Finally, Srila Prabhupada would finish his meal with a few sweets and get up to wash. For the ants the moment they had been waiting for had arrived. They knew now was the time to dive into the sweets. Incredibly, Srila Prabhupada never said one word about them during this daily attack on his lunch.

     

    This was not an isolated incident. It happened with great regularity. There seemed to be an arrangement between the pure devotee and these tiny insects. He was free to take as much time as he wanted and they were allowed to eat whatever he was finished with. I tried to get to the plates as quickly as possible after he finished so that there was something left to distribute to his disciples. As Srila Prabhupada said in Calcutta, "It's all right, they don't eat very much." One day while I was fanning him during lunch Srila Prabhupada began to chuckle. He said, "This is the Vedic custom. The wife, she would fan the husband while he ate. After he was done, whatever he would leave, she would take." Laughing he said, "In this way she always make sure there was plenty of prasadam. Otherwise, she may not eat. But, that was strictly a custom." Still smiling he continued, "Actually, in the Vedic culture that was the woman's role. They served in two ways, one by cooking nice foodstuff, the other by providing nice sex life. This is the essence of material life. Of course the difference is in Krishna Consciousness, we stress chastity, being chaste."

     

    Quietly fanning Srila Prabhupada as he ate I was overwhelmed with embarrassment. This subject was a source of great attraction and aversion for me due to my fascination with the opposite sex and my constant endeavor to control my senses. I stood by trying to appreciate the knowledge he was imparting. Tongue-tied, I didn't dare say a word being completely attached to material life.

     

    Srila Prabhupada was completely transcendental. Only he could sit and eat with legions of insects preparing to attack his remnants. Only he could speak about sex enjoyment without reservation because he had no attraction to material life. Being the all- compassionate pure devotee he was able to understand our fallen condition, patiently extricate us and give us the opportunity to perform devotional service.

  10. 660824BG.NY Lectures

    Now, the Krsna Janmastami is just approaching on the 8th, September, the birthday of Krsna we observe in India, and probably we may also make a program for observing the birthday ceremony here. So you'll find that just like in your country in Christmas day you all observe the birthday of Lord Christ, similarly, Krsna, the birthday of Krsna, will be observed in India, cent percent people.

    681202SB.LA Lectures

    Therefore this Krsna consciousness movement is postgraduate position of all religions. It is not any sectarian religion. You accept Christianity--very good. You accept Muhammadanism, Islamism--very good. You accept Hinduism--that's all right. We have no quarrel with Hindus and Muslims or Christians or Buddhists. But our objective is that religion means there is connection, relationship with God. Take, for example, Christian religion. They accept God: "God created this," the beginning of Bible. That's a fact. So the God consciousness is there. "God is great," the God consciousness there. Now these Christmas holidays you have begun in your country. Throughout the whole month of December you'll observe nice festivals, festivities. Why? Where it began? God consciousness. Lord Christ he came to give you God consciousness, and in his relationship these festivities are going on. It may be degraded in another form. The beginning is God consciousness, but we have lost it. So people cannot be happy without reviving God consciousness. It may be named in a different way--"Krsna consciousness." That means God consciousness. That is the necessity. He's trying to love somebody. That somebody's love will be perfected when he loves Krsna or God. We are teaching that. Try to love God, and if you love God, if you love Krsna, then automatically you love everybody. That is the perfection of love. The example is just like if you love your stomach, if you supply nice food to your stomach, that means you love all the parts of your body. If you supply foodstuff in the stomach, the energy is distributed in all parts of the body. That means you love all parts of the body. If you love the tree, you pour water on the root and the water is distributed to the branches, fruits, flowers, leaves, everywhere.

     

    68-11-26 Letter: Hrsikesa

    Regarding the Christmas Day meal with your family, I do not think you should partake of the food prepared by non-devotees. Better you should prepare your own foodstuffs and offer to Krishna and then, if you like, you may offer these remnants to Lord Jesus. I think that Lord Jesus will also appreciate this. Of course you may sit down with your family and take fruits and milk which they offer but rather than taking the foods which they have prepared, you may prepare and offer your own prasadam for Lord Krishna, and then offer the same to Lord Jesus.

     

    68-12-19 Letter: Uddhava

    I am so happy that you are looking to your marriage with Lilasukha and she also is happy with this arrangement. On Christmas day, Hayagriva and Syama Dasi are to be married in LA and this is very encouraging because we will welcome the arrival of nice KC children to carry on this movement for which we are laying ground.

     

    73-01-09 Letter: Karandhara

    I have received your description of the books sold during three-day Christmas period, and I am very much pleased upon all of the nice boys and girls who have helped me in this way. I could never have thought it was possible to distribute so many of our literatures. Therefore I can understand it is simply Krsna's blessing us for your sincerely working on His behalf. Actually, that is the secret of my success, not that personally I have done anything wonderful, but that because those who are helping me are sincere, they have done the work, that is the reason for our success all over the world where others have failed. A little sincerity is very difficult thing in this age of hypocrisy and bluff, but I am so fortunate that Krsna has sent me all of you nice boys and girls who are sincerely working. Please convey to all of them my deepest appreciation.

     

    74-11-21 Letter: Kirtiraja

    Please accept my blessings. I have seen your letter dated November 12, 1974 addressed to Brahmananda with enclosed samples of the Christmas cards and the calendar. The pictures are very nice. This sort of painting was done during the Muslim Moghal period. But, we don't encourage Christmas greetings. They are nice pictures undoubtedly.

     

    75-12-27 Letter: Ramesvara

    Please accept my blessings. I am in due receipt of your telegram as follows: Christmas week book distribution in Los Angeles despite closed airport better than ever by your grace 112000 BTGS 8000 Gitas sold stop on invitation of Governor Brown of California 50 devotees visited State mental institutions to help improve conditions and morale by giving religious message publicity very good Hare Krishna. Thank you very much. This is very good.

     

    77-01-13 Letter: Jayatirtha

    The Christmas distribution in England is unimaginable. Europe is a great field for preaching. New York-Radha Damodara and Los Angeles have already accepted defeat. This transcendental competition is very encouraging. But combined together, we must defeat Maya and her influence. When the Kurus and the Pandavas used to fight, there were 100 brothers on one side, and 5 brothers on the other side. But when there was another party, then the 105 brother were together. In this way, we must cooperate to spread Krsna consciousness.

    Prabhupada: Yes. Now what is that bird who is killed in Christmas?... Turkey, you see. Now, Christmas, God's Christmas, Jesus Christ. He said, "Thou shalt not kill." But his birthday is observed by killing, killing, killing, killing, killing.

    Ramesvara: Just before Christmas this wall was filled up, and now it is practically empty. We have sold so many books just in a few months. All up to the ceiling it was filled up. Now we have to reprint.

     

    770108r3.bom Conversations

    Prabhupada: Every country. Whole Europe and America. What business they have got to purchase our books in Christmas? They have no business. Why they are purchasing? Huge quantity. I never dreamed even (laughs) that my books would be sold in large quantity.

     

     

     

    770111tt.ida Conversations

    Prabhupada: Krsna was proved, and still He is proved. Who is reading others' book all over the world? Therefore He is God. Where is that book so respected as Bhagavad-gita? Who is printing so many books? Not even Bible. They respected Bible. Why the foreigners are reading Bhagavad-gita? That is the proof that Krsna is God. During the Christmas festival we sold our books greatest number in the history. How many copies Bible you have sold? That is the proof. Here is God. Otherwise why Christians should purchase Bhagavad-gita during Christmas holiday? And because Krsna is God, therefore you have come to fight. Who is going to fight with jehovah? Who is going to fight with jehovah movement?

     

    770113rc.all Conversations

    Ramesvara: Yet now there is a new controversy in America because during Christmas season our book distributors dress themselves up as Santa Claus. You've seen Santa Claus?...

     

    770130rc.bhu Conversations

    Gargamuni: At least the newspaper article in the Statesman was very amusing. It did not criticize, because it mentioned that by wearing these suits we are able to distribute many literatures on God consciousness, which is the real meaning of Christmas. They wrote this in the States... So it was favorable.

     

    770130rc.bhu Conversations

    Nanda-kumara: In Los Angeles there was some controversy, some trouble. So they had big signs that said "ISKCON," and they had a thing printed up that they put on the bucket that they were collecting with. It said, "Help us put the real spirit of God back into Christmas." And people appreciated that. It stated who we were and stated that...

     

    770227r2.may Conversations

    Prabhupada: It is all Krsna's grace. Let us try our best sincerely, and Krsna will give us. Tesam satata-yuktanam bhajatam priti-purvakam. Otherwise how it is happening? In foreign countries, a system of philosophy which is foreign to them, how they are purchasing? In India, if they purchase one Bhagavatam, it has got meaning. But in Germany, purchasing Bhagavatam, it is only Krsna's grace. How it is possible? And India, nobody is interested to purchase Bible. So if they purchase Bhagavatam, that is not surprising, but in Europe and America in Christmas festivities they are purchasing. So it is all Krsna's arrangement. We sold more books in Christmas festivals.

    770415rc.bom Conversations

    Prabhupada: It is universal, science. It is science. So why this science is kept locket up and distorted by the leaders? If you understand one line of Bhagavad-gita, your life becomes successful. Now our leaders are supposed to read Bhagavad-gita, but who understands this one line, tatha dehantara-praptir dhiras tatra na muhyati? Nobody understands. And they are scholars of Bhagavad-gita. They cannot understand this one line in the beginning. This is going on. So I would request you to take this matter seriously and... And it is being responded. I am writing these books on Bhagavad-gita, Srimad-Bhagavatam, and we are selling daily five to six lakhs' worth of books. In a foreign country, where their religious system is different, and during Christmas festival we are selling our books, large quantity.

     

     

     

    His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada

     

     

  11. Anand is right again from where one as a living entity realizes the escence of His position really all harvest can go away.

     

    Subtle thoughts such as those handled over the cares and healthy ways of lifes can be related to one self right to the Vaisnava filosofy.

     

    At this point i can remember allways that.

    All happenings arrownd oneself are related to the mind health matters.

    such as food and passtimes...

    Then this a living heaven out of sound.

     

    I can remember this kind of thoughts seence i was likkle child, allways kindda positive yes, and then one self started blaming negativity matters onto other peoples mind.. that is realiable to ignorance.

     

    Now i found the right spititual master Srila Prabhupada explanin allthis so vividly encouraging.

     

    I have been always right, but steel ignorance kiant be blaimed.

     

    Thank you

    Hare Krsna
