    Mataji is it OK to be playing on the mirdanga drum being made with animal skin while singing the Hare Rama?

    Srimad Bhagavatam Canto 6, Ch.9,texts 6, 7, 8

     

    Translation

     

    Although Indra was so powerful that he could neutralize the sinful reactions for killing a brahmana, he repentantly accepted the burden of these reactions with folded hands. He suffered for one year, and then to purify himself he distributed the reactions for this sinful killing among the earth, water, trees and women

     

    Translation

     

    In return for King Indra's benediction that ditches in the earth would be filled automatically, the land accepted one fourth of the sinful reactions for killing a brahmana. Because of this sinful reactions, we find many deserts on the surface of the earth.

     

    Translation

     

    In return for Indra's benediction that their branches and twigs would grow back when trimmed, the trees accepted one fourth of the reaction for killing a brahmana. These reactions are visible in the flowing of sap from trees. (Therefore one is forbidden to drink this sap.)

     

     

     

    I am thinking that sugar from sugar cane is being from the flowing sap of that which has been pressed out at the sugar cane mills and after having much refined. Dear Atmaji are you thinking that the sap from sugar cane has been reffined away all its sin making the white sugar sinfree?Are you thinking that remaining molasses is having all the sin which was being there originally in the sugar cane sap?

    Oh good. I was beginning to think that maybe I only had a six ounce brain after all, and I was planning a trip to Denmark for the sex change. You just saved me a lot of trouble; I don't even know how to tie a sari. And I'm sure I couldn't tolerate those chauvinistic temple men pushing me and my enchantress body to the back, far from my Lord Gauranga.

    I thought you were a dedicated devotee.Shame on you.What you are saying is not clean good joke and I am too disappointed with it.

    I never go into the graveyard but it looks so much dramatic near the seeside cliffs.Why do ask about priates. Are you descended from them? Tarum seems like one pirate name like Amenpeter, is it not?

    That one is a queer commentary Ms Leyh.

    Was it not you who zeroed in on the politics whaen you went to the Singapore temple and then decided not to go there again because of the politics? The temples are spiritual places.

    I have a question. I am wondering whether the Hindu Gods are fallible or infallible? I am studying some of the world reglions and doing some comparing. So any help will be appreciated.

     

    Thanks

     

     

    I think Indra made many fallibilities aginst Krishna. Its written in the holy books.

    Shashi,

     

    Well, not as much dedication as I'm sure we'd like. In fact, I have likely been delegated this task to force my lazy mind to carefully read all of this very important book. I really only humbly shuffle the commas and periods; and sometimes vainly switch or juggle words there and here. The real effort was made by a wonderful unknown Bengali speaker. And I'm sure he would offer all glory to Srila Vrindavana das, who in turn constantly credits Lord Caitanya and Nityananda Prabhu for this amazing gem.

     

    I just finished refining Madhya 9, wherein Sri Caitanya sits on Lord Visnu's throne, assuming His true identity for twenty-one hours.

     

    The service really is the reward. It was wonderful; not full of benedictions like 13, but still absolutely riveting. Murari das is actually Hanuman, and on Visnu's throne Lord Caitanya reveals His very special feeling for His monkey devotee.

     

    It's a very important book. I must conclude the editing and then go over it at least once again. I can't see anyone being disappointed with any time they spend reading the Sri Caitanya Bhagavata.

    You seem so humble and modest. Does the japa chanting make you like this or have you been like it always.

    Avinash, all the 17 Adi chapters were done, and maybe as many as the first seven of the Madhya chapters were done. Approximately half of the 46 chapters were rendered presentable a few years back. When no one seemed interested, I guess I too lost interest in the task, although it was always enjoyable.

     

    I randomly looked at the 13th Madhya chapter, just to remind myself how much the editing was necessary, and found it was paralleling my recent life drama involving my own belligerent drunken Madhai. I became intrigued and eventually had to fix this and fix that, and then decided I should fix it all before presenting the chapter to the Fellowship. Ten hours later, the mercy is here for those eager enough to read it.

     

    After a few years, perhaps this will get me working on it again. It has everything: immense humour, intrigue, mystical wonderment, and more secrets about the hidden incarnation, Gaura.

    My obeysances to you Prabhuji. I did not think I would come across such a dedicated devotee on a chat forum. Pranams Pranams.

    All Glories. Hari Ram.

    Mr Suryaz, I don't understand how you can agree with me as I was only asking a question and not making a conclusion. Or was this part of your joke?

    No offense meant.

    For Laksri, I think the word you are looking for is polyandry. This is off the top of my head, and I am too lazy to walk to the closet and pick up a dictionary to check.

     

    No need of checking a dictionary. You are correct. Posted Image

    Well masterji if polygamy is many wives and polyandry is many husbands and monogamy is one wife can we say that monandry is one husband?

     

    whoever heard of it?

     

     


  12. The thing is that all cultures have a heavy materialistic side and we get so used to it that we may not notice it at the subtle level as readily as we notice it from another culture.

     

    Did anyone see that funny documentary about the african socialogist reporting on tribal practices in middle europe?
