  1. LAST POST: You think I've been here before, I'm assuming. It isnt pleasurable for me to say -this-, it actually pains me to say it, but it is disappointing to see such a good group of genuinely striving people so caught up in ritual and formalities. God (Krsna) is here now. Krsna is not bound by statements he may or may not have made in the past about his appearances, and do you really think he would appear in an easily recognizable form in the Kali Yuga? Believe me! It's much, much more complicated than that. I'm sorry if I've offended anyone's views about spiritual reality or how radharani should conduct herself, but all I can do and all I have done is speak the truth.
  2. I dont believe in secrets. It's dishonest. And I'm not bragging, I just think it's good to give an idea of what is possible in Krsna consciousness. I realize now I am too radical for this message board.
  3. I'm sorry, I didnt mean to offend anyone. I just have a much more casual type of relationship with Krsna. We joke, it is not all serious all the time. I think a sense of humor is important. Sorry again.
  4. Ok. I'll try this again. The main point to what I was saying was, 'since spirituality has been lost in society' I was not saying there is nothing special about men or women, I was saying that from the viewpoint of modern society, these special traits arent as important, as say, how much money one is capable of earning, for example. Women acting as men: the point I was making here is that with women having equal employment opportunites in comparison with 1900, 1920, etc, instead of bringing the uniqueness that a feminine viewpoint has to offer, women instead fill men's shoes, it seems to me, doing the jobs the way a man would do them, rather than the way a woman would. But probably the way a woman would do something is on its way to being forgotten by many (it seems to me). I think of the evening news, for example, when I'm thinking this, or of all the various other jobs that a woman can do if only she acts like a man.
  5. Imagine someone trying to explain how wonderful prasadam is to a 700 BC barbarian. He'd say, what, you call this food. Give me some meat! Oh wait, people still do that.
  6. I have similar experiences as you, Pete, I just keep trying, what else is there to do? I am drawn to Krsna consciousness because it is the largest spiritual community that I am mostly in agreement with (I dont see using cow's milk as moral, though) but I am drawn to a certain mystery, that maybe there is something to learn here that I cant learn anywhere else. I dont agree with everything, and I dont like every truth that I believe I discover in the process, but if it's true, then I want to know it (or at least I think I do). New truths and new levels of truth are probably still to be discovered. I dont see why anything would have to be set in stone, even within Krsna consciousness. The goal for me (and for humanity), I thought, is to evolve to a greater level of consciousness, I got the impression that's what Krsna consciousness was about, so it would make sense that Krsna would continue to reveal more and more as humanity becomes capable of perceiving it.
  7. what i meant was, the special traits dont seem to be all that important anymore, the special traits are lost to most people.
  8. i'm not 100% sure, but i think i saw on little house on the prairie the other day, that the sign language for eternity, or forever, is the same as what one of krsna's hands/arms does in a lot of his pictures. this was new info. to me. had anyone else heard of this before?
  9. i'm watching the simpsons, homer just said, aaaaaaa! i'm a freak!
  10. i'm not a freak, i'm a vegetarian!
  11. I wonder if technology and spirituality will at some point converge. Or will this all erupt into an unmanageable money-corrupt society? [This message has been edited by radharani (edited 07-03-2002).]
  12. meanwhile the environment turns to crap, and everyone has to scramble to be the first to get the dollar
  13. since spirituality has been lost in society, gender roles dont mean so much. there is nothing special about a woman, or a man. women have to act as men and where did women go? all i see is men, and women trying to be men.
  14. thanks; i was wondering about info about initiation and that link had a lot. i thought maybe appearance and disappearance (dont laugh!) maybe was appearance:when the devotee appeared from out of society (to a guru), and their incarnation from a previous life (way back in vedic times) was remembered disapppearance: when they transcended the physical plane, not meaning death ok, you can laugh, i guess it is funny.
  15. Is it true that Radha and Krsna can never be together? I heard this somewhere. Also, is it true that Radha is only a human devotee?
  16. Where can i find vegetarian recipes? Is there a website somewhere of just 'prasadam-style' recipes?
  17. When I am around people who eat meat, I sometimes experience fear, I think this has to do with the fear accumulated in their energy fields due to the fear from the animals that they have eaten (fear experienced as the animals are about to slaughtered, fear experienced during that whole life of being raised as food and treated as a commodity). Maybe the devotees that you talk to are absorbing some of this fear in service to Krsna, accumulated as karma from the meat eaters so that they (the meat eaters, or maybe new devotees) can more comfortably become vegetarian.
  18. What are the appearances and disappearances, mentioned of different devotees, as in appearance day of, disappearance day of . . .
  19. In the same way that he could subject himself to taking on the form of a human body. He's God, he can do whatever he wants. If he wants to experience pain, it seems like he could do that too.
  20. what does milk have to do with a leaf, a fruit, a flower or water
  21. because krsna wants to help everyone to be more like him, in whatever respects he or she is able to handle; if one experiences suffering, he is unlikely to inflict it or cause it if he attains some of the powers or knowledge of krsna. he doesnt want to rule forever and ever and be the only one to enjoy creating,etc (although i'm sure he will be ruling for a very very very very long time before anyone comes that close to his wisdom, so it probably isnt even worth discussing . . . but i do think the suffering is meant to show us what we ourselves are capable of doing, (in part).just my view on the subject, just a theory. it's like creator-boot-camp.
  22. http://gaudiya.net/sbnm/text/y2001/lecture20010810.htm someone asked earlier what qualites i carry of radharani, i guess this is one . . .anyway, i thought it was an interesting story also it's weird someone posted somewhere on here about a story where radha stays up all night trying to write about her love of krsna but cant form any words . . .maybe radha was guiding me as i did just that(!), this past january, except it was over a period of weeks of staying up all night (and the words formed); hmm maybe i am her! how would i know, if krsna decided to make me forgetful of past lives? i had never heard that story before, it was strange. i'm scared now. what if i'm *her* (!)? AAAAAAHH! would there be some way for an outside observer to tell?!?
