I understand life to begin with the first inspiration of air. That time is to be taken for astrological chart. So your data is Gdansk, Poland 05/25/1976 21:00 to 22:00 then we have to look for lat. and log. of Gdansk standart time used at the date any changes as summer time, etc... I don't have the books here, check this tread next week are you male or female? (needed for interpretation) your servant dasanudasa

Dear Jagat, Thanks for your reply Some questions are 1)I took the text from Grantha Mandira but I have seen a iskcon book where in the same verse the word rajjUbhir is spell rajjubhir, I looked in the dictionary (Monier's) and found rajju (in earlier language also rajjU) as rope, could you kindly explain how rajju becomes rajjUbhir? 2)The same for aghAreH, there is agha (Agha, or sin) that is clear, but what about the enemy and how the internal saMdhi works? 3)vartma-pAtibhiH, there is vartman, the road, and pAti, the lord or master of the road, but highwaymen? How pAti becomes pAtibhiH? 4)If you can give the full details of case, gender, person, number, tense, mode, etc. that will be great In the other tread you wrote Since we started on the Gita, I thought I would go through the Bhagavad Gita for Sanskrit beginners. Please give some feedback. I think that if you go through any text in that way and you publish it as a pdf it will be very beneficial to persons that are as me beginning Sanskrit studies. I do not have all the time I wish to dedicate but really want to read in sanskrit because the sound and meaning of the poetry of the acaryas increase the bhava in a way no philosophical or poetical translation can. gaura hari bol dasanudasa

I want to ask you a favor. Will you analyze the following verse? pratiSThA rajjUbhir baddhaM kAmAdyair vartma-pAtibhiH | chittvA tAH saMharantas tA- naghAreH pAntu mAM bhaTAH ||1|| thanks dasanudasa

Do I believe in God? What conception of god will that be? I am attracted to Radha-Krishna conception, but if I am accept the authority of an orthodox religion I may be not attracted anymore. dasanudasa

I remember reaching the same conclusion about different dimensions also “desiring to preserve the reality of the divine histories of Bhagavata”, but now I think that there is no real necessity of believing in something that is not “within our means of verification”. That only means we are not realizing that plane. So I take the scriptures as inspiration in the way of realization, if I ever reach my destination I will see directly how is it like. your servant dasanudasa

Is it there a font able to transform the Kyoto-Harvard to diacritic?

Send me your data Time, date, place. dasanudasa@hotmail.com your servant dasanudasa [This message has been edited by dasanudasa (edited 05-17-2002).]

My master doesn't belive in authority but in love. Not power, or intelect, but love. Sometimes we need authority to overcome fear. I hope realization of the sweet absolute will end the need for fear or authorization. Be free, freedom is the soul´s own reality, whithout it we are stones. Love needs absolute freedom. your servant, who may not accept your authority dasanudasa

"The great reformers will always assert that they have come out not to destroy the old law, but to fulfill it. Valmiki, Vyasa, Plato, Jesus, Mohammed, Confucius and Caitanya Mahaprabhu assert the fact either expressly or by their conduct." "But when we advanced in age and our religious sentiment received development, we turned out in a manner Unitarian in our belief and prayed as Jesus prayed in the Garden." "The popular religion is fear of God and not the pure spiritual love which Plato, Vyasa, Jesus, and Caitanya taught to their respective peoples!"

First I would like to apologize for the confusion between the names dasanudas y dasanudasa. I didn’t notice before I register Thanks to Rati and theist for their reply. “In the common-place books of the Hindu religion in which the rajo and tamo-guna have been described as the ways of religion, we have descriptions of a local heaven and a local hell; the Heaven as beautiful as anything on earth and the Hell as ghastly as any picture of evil. Besides this Heaven we have many more places, where good souls are sent up in the way of promotion! There are 84 divisions of the hell itself, some more dreadful than the one which Milton has described in his “Paradise Lost”. These are certainly poetical and were originally created by the rulers of the country in order to check evil deeds of the ignorant people, who are not able to understand the conclusions of philosophy. The religion of the Bhagavata is free from such a poetry. Indeed, in some of the chapters we meet with descriptions of these hells and heavens, and accounts of curious tales, but we have been warned somewhere in the book, not to accept them as real facts, but as inventions to overawe the wicked and to improve the simple and the ignorant. The Bhagavata certainly tells us a state of reward and punishment in future according to deeds in our present situation. All poetic inventions, besides this spiritual fact, have been described as statements borrowed from other works in the way of preservation of old traditions in the book which superseded them and put an end to the necessity of their storage. If the whole stock of Hindu theological works which preceded the Bhagavata were burnt like the Alexandrian library and the sacred Bhagavata preserved as it is, not a part of the philosophy of the Hindus except that of the atheistic sects, would be lost. The Bhagavata therefore, may be styled both as a religious work and a compendium of all Hindu history and philosophy.” Op. cit. ¿Local heavens? ¿Do you believe in the existence of devas like Indra, etc…?¿Why? I regard scriptures or statements made by other persons as a source of inspiration and cannot accept the principle of authority. dasanudasa

I would like the learned members of this forum to give a commentary to the following quotation "Liberty then is the principle, which we must consider as the most valuable gift of God. We must not allow ourselves to be led by those who lived and thought before us. We must think for ourselves and try to get further truths which are still undiscovered. In the 23rd text 21st Chapter 11th skandha of the Bhagavata we have been advised to take the spirit of the sastras and not the words" Kedarnath Dutta Bhaktivinode.
