Hare Krsna What is the fate of the successful Buddhist? Where does he reach? Does the Buddhist philosophy describe any part of Brahman or Jagat properly? Thanks mohnkrsna

I agree with JN prabhu on the food scheme. However let us not forget that this masjid was built in place of the ancient Rama temple. I suppose destroying the masjid didn't bring back the temple - but perhaps it's just karma. For me; I cannot even imagine how much paapa could be accumulated through the destruction of a Krsna temple. Prabhu, don't some paapic actions bind even the progeny of that man/woman to it? MohnKrsna

Prubhu, I still have that desire! hahah

Jai Sriman Narayana! Actually accounts exist where the out of body experiencer has given specific detailed accounts of unreachable places. For example in one case the subject described a shoe present on a specific part of a hospital roof - this was later confirmed. The problem is these fools(the above scientists and their kind) have no proper realisations or experiences of their own. So how are they able to compare?! There is no logic in that. Now if I am able to leave my body at will (or otherwise) and travel places; then I try this scientific illusion of theirs - I'd be able to compare. But how can they compare having not known BOTH cases?! Nevertheless scientists cleverly show you only what they think they can reproduce. They will never tell you about the things they cannot. Documented OBEs have occured when persons are clinically dead - meaning NO brainwave activity registering on the measuring devices. How do they explain those? Or what about ones where persons are able to give accurate descriptions of complex surgical procedures with surgical precision? Or where persons are able to describe the environment in a remote area? THE list goes on and on. I'd like to see them include that in their article: "We have scientifically been able to reproduces these effects but we can't yet reproduce this and this and this and this" Conclusion - they want to view the world with tinted glasses so Krsna will happily hand them whatever shade! mohankrsna

Namaskarams I've had one of 3 weird experiences just last morning and thought I'd share it. It's not a spiritual one just a little mystical. Last morning I awoke and my eyes stopped in the half open position. At that moment I had a compelling feeling suggesting I was about to leave my body. So in fraction of a second I decided to go to my gym (don't ask why). I felt that I was exiting this gross body slowly and saw extremely bright lights and thunderous sounds! I became very afraid so I thought against it - the lights and sounds slowly drowned out and my right ear began to ring exaggeratedly. Finally the ringing stopped..and I fully opened my eyes and got up (in my gross body). I'd never been so afraid in my life! This was definetly not a dream - when my eyes were half open I could clearly see the clock on my bedside cupboard and the swivel chair there. I regret getting scared and not being able to exit and see what it was like. Ah well! Maybe someone's had similar experiences? ...Or can explain? mohan krishna

No, I'm 21 and an ex-athlete who's vegetarian so I don't think I had a stroke :|

Hahahaha! I thought I titled it "OBE" !! Now I know I did. Thanks for letting me know mohankrsna

Prabhu I find this hard to believe because the night before that eventful morning myself along with my father and mother were reciting the Vishnusahasranama. My parents are very devout and chant it several times a day. Through those sound vibrations I am confident that this house is "clean". I didn't feel the presence of any other being either. Thanks Mohnkrsna

Hare Krsna! Excellent post Theist! Very interesting indeed! Upon fully waking up I thought I should have picked a temple - perhaps if it happens again I shall! Tell me - when such things happen to you are you able to varify atleast some of the things that you have seen? Speaking on this earthly plane - say you using your subtle body proceeded to a temple you've been to. Have you been able to varify what you saw by going there in your physical body? Thanks so much for your reply Theist MohnKrsna

Hello guest who started thread, I believe I know what you're talking about. It's just a medical state. It's where you're conscious but your body is still "asleep" and cannot be controlled for moments. And you are in dark place where sometimes scary beings manifest or it can just be plain black. You try to scream and you know you are sending "scream" commands but your physical mouth does not open and your vocalchords do not make the sound. I personally had this experience twice on consecutive days - I had them in the morning before I awakened. For me it was plain black - complete darkness....being petrified I screamed except I didn't physically. Second time round I was calm and waited for the "control" over my body to be restored. I don't think you have anything to worry about. Modern medicine does not understand this phenomenon and probably never will. But it's extremely interesting. mohankrsna

Are there any upanyasams available in english? I am sure the unfortunate few who do not know either of the classical languages, would greatly appreciate it.

Thanks Nrsingha and Lowborn for your replies. However I was looking for more specific details... which roots? did they make fires, how? I understand that this sort of thing would require a book or volumes of books to detail. I believe in the Veda there is a section known as the "Aranyaka" which deals with forest affairs...but what does it include? I am sure one who takes shelter of Narayana's lotus feet would never be abandoned...but still one living in the forest must, for instance, rest in the right place - sleeping on or right next to a snake lair wouldn't be a good idea. Is this wisdom still in existance in it's full entirety? Hare Krsna Mohnkrsna

Hare Krsna Just the other day I was watching a documentary about bushcraft and various aborigines' "living off the land" cultures. All of them were omnivorous...sparing not even the smallest creature. It got me wondering - how did/do vanaprastas live? Learning the details would be facinating! For instance; what did they eat? how did they shelter themselves? how did they ensure they were safe from the wild creatures...snakes, big cats? Is this knowledge still there? If anyone could enlighten me, I'd be grateful. Thanks mohnkrsna

Try putting a £20 note in each of your exam papers.

Interesting Sanatan! " Everybody can do it and this is the reason why I have no sympathy for the sceptics in spiritual life." I agree with you fully there. mohnkrsna

Fool! How dare you mock our SadAcharyan!Don't worry you yourself will have an NDE you can talk about!

HAHahahaha! That's very true Guruvani! funny thing is his fame rests on fraudsters...last thing he wants to find is the real thing. Atleast that's his subconscious motive. Mohnkrsna

No, I think I've found my god - you! Oh you are so great you claim not to be god and humbler still that you say he does not exist. These are but the games of my god shiv - you may be in guise but i can still spot thee for yee give away the hint that you know everything - enough to say that such phenomenon does not exist. With this phrase of yours alone I can tell that yee are aware of all the goings on on this earth to be "cock-sure". I bow down to you - knower of all, seer of all.

Your ignorance is truly remarkable. The problem with people like you is that you sit in your chair feet up and think you've searched the world - it is ppl like you who are dull witted; just a sheep in the herd being led into a ditch. I say led becuase you do not think for your own and are easily influenced by the media. Let me first tell you that I, being a student of science, have done my research into papers authored by well accomplished scientists (many of whom occupied seats of prestige many nobel laureates) on paranormal phenomenon. Now, I will put my trust to the great men of science who have given "my daily equations" which ensure the jet I design won't drop out of the sky THAN you.

Everyone experiences it. Just becuase you do not remember something happend does not mean it did not. I'm sure any one who indulges in alcohol will be able to tell you that. Reincarnation - amazing evidence exists for it. There are many scientific studies and reports on it. Very compelling evidence. Mohnkrsna

Yes haha ppl jokingly say he's darwin reincarnated to fix things hahaha...don't worry if you missed it on tele. watch it here:- http://video.google.co.uk/videoplay?docid=-2895087993533041198&q=michael+cremo Initially you'll see it's in french..but that's just the intro. the rest's in english. Siddhi means perfection. It usually refers to extrordinary control of matter in subtler means. For example being able to teleport objects, or hear distant sounds. One of the other members recently posted a link - a man with apparent siddhis. Looks very legit to me. Here's the link. Mohnkrsna

Hello, I understand your questions. I'd like to recommend a book - Human Devolution by Michael Cremo. It's about £30, I believe. It's a definite read for the inquisitive! Mohnkrsna

Namaskaram As many probably know this guy Randi is offereing $1,000,000 to anyone who has legit "psychic" ability. I'm sure some of out Vaishnava sadhakas posses certain siddhis. I understand that these are not the goal...but would it be wrong to go there, claim that money and use in Krishna's service? Mohnkrsna
