hi everybody, i just got off the buttons to Bhakta Don and it took me a long time to type and also i am going to get kicked off of the computer soon by my very wonderful sons and wife who think i have gone nuts for hanging out at the "cyberian Yatra" too much. however, i will tell you this much for right now, i was there on the "Sea Sufferer" day. Prabhupada and the devotees were coming along the beach edge of the Alamoana (sp.) beach when He got to the corner of the park He stood and just looked for what seemed like about a full minute, i just remember it was longer than some of his other pauses, He's just watching very intently and then started to talk about the Sea sufferers and about how this was mystical potency. He wasn't talking heavy about them like He had been doing for some time about the scientists. it was a kind of interesting tone, but make He made it clear about the suffering..anyways i am getting serious flack and a few incoming hits here...i'll be back after honoring the Vaisnava family.

dear Bhakta Don, one thing that is very clear is that you are very upset. no one should laugh at you because the subject matter is a very serious affair. i do not wish to deal with that subject matter right now. at times some things we would love to change cannot be changed right now just like that. the most important thing now is that you take care of your own self for a bit. the reasons you are upset, if you look at vedic history, are not new things. i am not a big time pandit but i do know a few simple and practical things to really help you, #1. not a blade of grass moves without krishna having something to say about it: KRISHNA is in control!#2. Prabhupada will help you. what i am going to say is proof positive to help you: if you pick up your bead bag and you channel all of this powerful saddness you have-do not try cancel it out in some awful way- but if you take this powerful emotion and while you are chanting, you can pray to Prabhupada and He will help you...He will help you...He will help you. it might not be the help YOU think you need, but he will help you...don't you worry so much about Mahaprabhu's movement for say a month or two, it will still be there when you get back from a very nice place, just chant and pray (and read of course) you WILL FEEL PPRABHUPADA"S MERCY! #3 be with devotees right now that LOVE you. do not mix with those you know you will fight with..again, they to will be there when you come back from that very nice place. also take a vacation from association from karmis for at least a week or two if you are a book distributor: just read those books for two weeks and be only with people who love you. i am a nobody devotee, but i know Prabhupada will help you Don. you do this for yourself right now please. the whole goal, of this is to help you and help you not make unintentional offences in your anguish,however, you can laugh at me for my simple plan if you want, it will be ok, i'll laugh too because i am such a simppleton Prabhu and also when you come back from that very nice place then we will both laugh a whole lot at how funny things can be. Good luck don. Hare Krishna. Jaya Prabhupada.

actually gHari, what we got here was a feeble attempt on my part at some light-hearted humor glorification that i hoped might destroy any offense i might have made to Gauracandra by my somewhat long-winded Gas-bag approach to the creation of a 4 way standardized biz card for K.C. on his "keys to successful religions"...no more, no less. to address the possibility of offense on your part...not in my books. anyway, just to make sure i'm covered, i'll be very careful about my attempts to become too familiar...i accept your critique at your feet...please forgive me.

dang this here ol' burr under my saddle...i feel a glorification a' comin on...this thread has got me to thinkin' about the accoutrements of devotional seva, in colloquial terminolgy, better known as "devotee paraphenalia"...and oddball loveable devotees. i had the good fortune of visiting the Vancouver Canada(Madan Mohan Kee) yatra in 1974 and came to know of a one Vijitatma(spel.?)(GHari, you might know of whom i speak reverently of here)...anyways, ol' Vijjey...mmmmm...this guy didn't have an arrogant bone in his body! you would never and i mean NEVER find "Vij" without his nose stuck in a Srimad Bhagawatam, literally and figuratively. it was incredible how he was always like this at any time i would see him at Rath. other yatras, etc. but in Mayapur in 1975 Vijjey completely stole my heart...a minor note here: i still have my list of favorite devotees(a few from Audarya too!)to this day i will never forget how he sky-rocketed to the top of my list as a never to be replaced hero,when here i was sitting in the Holy Dham of Lord Chaitanya for the first morning of my life when Vijitatma comes walking out with...now picture this...tilok swastikas and haribols and Hare Krishnas all over his torso, neck beads galore 3 thick inches of copper wire around each and every appendage, screaming like there was no tomorrow during the Tulasi arotik(thus, another relevant fact germane to this here post: Kanti Mala.) you would have had to seen this transcendental madman for Krishna, and i mean this when i say this, he made me cry for joy(and i've been to some pretty whoop it up Tulasi arotiks in my time too, Prabhus.). over the years i have lost contact with him, but the ravages of time will NEVER destroy the wonderful memory of this guy, who still as i am typing am crying in separation for...and wherever he still is: "hari bol VIJ! Vaisnavas, go figure..carnsarnnit, a fine boy howdayadoo and haribol to'em all...this is buckeroo-beemus a' signin' off fer now...om, om, on the range...

you will of course gHari, excuse me in this, a rare whimsical foray into the world of being critical of Vaisnavas, but i believe the correct nomenclature of a Prabhu whom you so highly and correctly so, regard, as such, is in more specific terminology: "you da' Prawboo, Gauracandra, you da' Prawboo". i have now used up my quota of harsh critique, that's all for the week, but on down the road, your false ego i'm sure to goad, but not to worry its just that BONA FIDING toad...beema-shave (at yer soivice{seva}, nuk-nuk).

today over here in this nice quiet forum i am going "under tree" to taste the refreshing shade of Krishna and his devotees mercy: muni sabde paksi bhringa, nirgrantha- murkha jana/ krishna krpaya sadhu krpaya dohar bhajana...by the mercy of Krishna and his devotees, even birds are able to perform krishna bhajana by following muni dharma with desire free bhava.(CCM24). next...this just in, "scientific taste tests" have proved, Krishna is the ultimate in good taste; the original taste tester: laghuttvam atra yat proktam tat tu prakrta-nayaka/ krishna rasa niryasa svardartham avatarini..."in regards to worldly nayakas the position of a paramour is considered degaded by those who understand rasa. but this does not apply to krishna, the source of all incarnations, who establishes himself as the transcendental paramour in order to taste the essence of rasa...Sri Ujjvala nila mani 1/21.

when i was living in hawaii in i had the exremely good fortune of being on 31 consecutive morning walks with Srila Prabhupada. on one of these walks, Hayagriva das had come to see Srila prabhupad and i watched Srila Prabhupada crying tears down his face while he embraced Hayagiva saying " you have come back". All Glories to the Most Merciful Srila Prabhpada! with love and affection to all the fallen Vaisnavas, Prabhpada is waiting for you. [This message has been edited by beemasane (edited 03-22-2002).]

thank you

thank you for your very thorough response.

thank you for your very thorough response.

sorry i had to pick up kids. anyways...all i am trying to do with my membership and theirs is try to spread in our own little way a mood of "hey if you're one of Rupa's boys, you're fine with us". i live in a "guru harmonized town" but still there is a difficulty exchanging siddhanta past a certain level. my becoming a member here is kind of an expansion of association. i sense here at Audarya a nice attempt to keep the sideswiping and controversies confined to witty bon mots, a brilliant repartee a smattering of some genuine feel good Vaisnavism, and an INCREDIBLE tableau of serious people who know a whole lot, i find this very refreshing and i swear, sometimes i can feel Prabhupada's smile going right thru me as i punch that submit reply button or when an incoming hit goes straight to my heart. sooooo...i hope you don't think i'm not getting all mushy on you or boring you or worse yet making you scoff in my general direction at my complete lack of comprehending reality, but hey, this a PERSONAL philosophy i figure if i can pick up even just one "Prabhu pen pal" per ten people that just outright ignore me, hey what the hey, huh? and the boys, they are the future, do i really need to stress the significance of this. so i'm going to go now... i hope you will even talk to me after this...if not,see you in the joke section soon at a forum nearest you, where we will laughingly skip along in world harmony...honoring all Vaisnavas...

i am very thankful to hear from you gHari. you have been very inspiring and one time very mystical nice thing happened when you supplied atma rama verse for me minutes away from when i am desiring it...gave me nice goose bumps. yes i am far away geographically but short distance between my heart and yours...as for the boys...born into devotee family, with upstanding tight Prabhupada disciple uncle association of many years...we have seen it all. i will continue this at a short time later,very briefly mind you. you are very merciful to take a chance to vouchsafe for these fine boys. b.

thank you very much Rati. i can assure you that these are very well behaved boys: they have some of Srila Prabhupada's finest for good uncles.

Dear Abhi the great, i am sorry i have taken so long to respond to you, please forgive me, family life sometimes is very time consuming, i have two boys 12 and 14...need i say more. any ways, i told you i had a good Prabhupada story...the first time i ever saw Srila Prabhupada in person was at the 1974 Rathayata. when Prabhupada enetered the airport from walking across the tarmack after disembarking with Sudama. all the devotees inside the airport just went beserk with joy! I mean dangerously beserk...it was like some kind of a uncontrollable fever and Prabhupada,at least to the group of senior godbrothers immediately surrounding him, seemed to be in enough of a danger of being crushed that they formed a "lotus "phalanx" around him with interlocking arms...well it seemed they were a man short and guess who got picked by the big guys to fill in the spot directly to Prabhupada's right...mmm-hmmm...yours truly really lucked out. by now we had been funneled into a hallway with no room even on the sides for the karmis to get out of the way..it was completely crazy!...they too got swept into the the transcendental storm of devotees. yet here in the middle of the crowd that had now gotten even more intense, was Srila Prabhupada waking serenely within the safety of the lotus phalanx like there was simply no problem at all. i took hits, and lost one shoe, but it was really, really worth it to serve Prabhupada in person for the first time in such an intensely physical way, my youthful fancy was that NO ONE and i mean NO ONE was going to get thru and crushing MY Guru. i didn't elbow or hurt anybody, but i figuered that if one person would break thru it would keep going, so NO WAY was some body going to get past me. it was complete ecstasy, no indecision, just immediate and intense physical protection. Guru seva, ki-jaya! haribol Prabhu.

haribol prabhus. although by nature i am very martial in my approach to life situations i have been very gentle with my two boys concerning Krishna Conciousness. i have seen first hand the mistake of dealing with adults and children alike with a do it or else attitude. both of my boys go to the sunday feast lecture and as well a weekly Bhagavadgita class with some of the familiess of my oldest godbrither freinds and manage to ask intelligent question and are very well mannered. i would consider it a breach of ettiquette to enrol them in the Audarya Fellowship without first asking. you see what is happening is that they, unlike me, are MUCH better at the computer stuff than their old man and sre becoming very enlivened because they are seeing how enlivened i am to have all your association so would some of you please give them your blessings and say it is ok. they will chant some mahamantra mantra befor they ask questions to purify themselves, as that is what i do: at least 8 rounds and most of the time 12 rounds i chant before logging on to the fellowship. i might add they are very well balanced in understanding and harmonising controversies concerning gurus and have been taught to honor all as we have never hidden these things during our saddhu sanga. please answer as soon as possible because they are eager to ask and i am trying to dovetail these infernal contraptions to Krishna for them to counter attack their nonsense video games. until i hear from you i remain myself, giving all honor to Vaisnavas. beemasane das

hello Avinash, how are you, i hope you and yours are well. i would like to thank you for pointing this mistake of mine to me..you can please forgive me? i am very new at all the computer stuff and also forum procedure...i promise that i am trying very hard and please do not hesitate to point out my mistakes in the future. all glories to you from beemasane das.

yo! hari bol! i'm eatin' prasad...i'll be back soon. i got a real good Prabhupada "kashatreeya" story for you!Vaisnava seva kee! b.

then there will only be one left to screw in the light bulb and elvis can finally leave the building. signed, zippy the beam head.
