radharani

I would like to do some drawings of some of these things but I'm not very good at drawing yet.

I have wondered myself if that's what it might mean . . .maybe it would be a nice vacation to be a dragonfly for a lifetime! I have also wondered if maybe it is part of the key to mastering physical form at will . . .

I hadnt heard this before, of arjuna and the king of mercy and the king of terror, so i looked in the Gita for something along these lines: For him who has conquered the mind, the mind is the best of friends; but for one who has failed to do so, his mind will remain the greatest enemy. 6.6

unfortunately, no. but i've run some mindjuice through uranus, as it's coming into my astrology soon. i should be working on memory then. the essence on mercury is interesting as well. but it's all in my *mind*, i wanna really BE there

there are many nice soy foods available now, that can be used in place of cows' milk and its products.

In that post, I pondered the meaning of the sacredness of cows to Krsna . . .if cows are sacred to Him, would he want us to make use of their products of suffering, thus perpetuating it further? Maybe they are sacred to Krsna because in case of a bad year of crops or something like that, cows' milk can keep humans from starving to death, and from having to resort to meat-eating. But I think it was only meant to be used in this type of emergency.

Wouldnt this serve to better purify material nature, if he allowed his essence to become more intimately entwined within it?

Not sure if it's a glory or a pastime, but what of Krsna's dark side? I think I've read or heard somewhere that he has a dark side. Where could I read about it? (Not sure about asking to experience more directly, I'm still too much of a wimp.)

Is there any textual evidence that Krsna takes on a physical form, and incarnates throughout time,just like everyone else? I've seen some texts which go against the idea, but these texts often conflict with each other. Help from the scholars?

Would he look different to each wife?

not sure if this one is appropriate, feel free to delete it . . . i am time and you are space the goddess waits in the dawn of blood, in the Age of Gas & Blood. the muder of emotion doesn't suit me it makes a crone of youth giving reign to the Hand of stench-stiff Death. she wears her vulnerable nature like a crown; to fall in love with a God is easy but to learn to love him back is more like a trip to the dentist every day or being put on the racks for good, i would, like a monkey in a cage; enduring offerings of leather incense, reminding me of the prayers of the animals. my thoughts are not my own, and neither are my tears. the rain isnt mine, cant you see the source of fear? daddy, i dont want to be human anymore. i could live like that, i could turn myself to stone, and, heart made of stone, flesh made more solid still--is that your wish, my sweet? to be a statue next to you, our love carved out more eternal, carved out in stone with us inside . . . if only the carver had carved at least our fingers touching. i always like the way my eyes look after crying, more honest, sometimes, because i cant walk when i feel, i have to lie or die . . . i eat portkins and turnips and daffodil-ears . . .

(The following is a 'mind'-journey): Has anyone else seen the transformation of soul that happens as a person re-incarnates, I saw something (in my mind, kind of) that explained how a person could go from being human to being, say, an insect. It totally validated the possibility of reincarnation from human to animal for me; I was unsure how a human, with all a human's wisdom and range of experiences, could then become a mouse or a cat or a flea. Is this a common experience among devotees, to see this? It would further validate it for me if someone else has also had this experience.

Wouldnt Radha be compassionate and want to know what it's like to suffer as a sinful human being?

Him not walking away. (or running away)

oh, so i'm not crazy after all. all the songs on the radio seem to have the same author. i thought it was just my intense longing to hear the voice of the one i love playing tricks on my mind.

Maybe i should start paying more attention to my dreams. I had this one about Krsna . . .(has anyone seen my post in the travelogue section?)

Also, there is this idea of something called 'other planes' . . .is this something anyone here considers valid or is familiar with, and is it mentioned in any vedic texts, etc? I guess probably the material vs spiritual plane, are there more that anyone here is familiar with? i would like some guidance in this area if anyone has any to offer.

"It is said that the perfect yogi can relinquish his body at death and journey, at the speed of mind, to antimaterial planets far beyond the limits of the material universe." (from a description of the book, Easy Journey to Other Planets) Only at death?

(from an earlier post in this thread) Krsna: "My heart resides with my devotees, My life with Radha." Because she wants more than anything to figure him out, which of course can NOT be done in only ONE lifetime!!! She wants to solve the riddle of the mind of God. And she'll never rest until she does. ( I know, kind of off topic, but I saw this here and wanted to respond to it.)

Sure, what kind of website is it?

It's something I discovered on my own (about palmarosa). I was dissatisfied with the idea that so many essential oils are grouped together as having the same purpose; this seems counterintuitive to me. My dad has had aromatherapy as a hobby for about 15 years, so he has collected a lot of the oils over that time. Each oil does have its own purpose, I'm working on a book about it . . .

a 3rd: i ride the ships of the waves of your song here in the universe i hear the drips of your tears as they're falling forming oceans of new worlds i remember your lips so silent, remembering every word i dont have a rhyme in my head nor reason, going beyond this moment the universe rises and rises falling back into me i could ride the waves awhile desire anchors me here i only glimpse the heavens because you are here

here's a 2nd: you hide in the light i in the dark cleaving to each other as day to night sweat and tears enduring all the years fears and even as death nears soil lays fallow each to its season i love you the same by any name as mercury to mars are portals of earth and soul i seek reflection in a wish for a bird to fly, a fish to swim and me to love you like wind from a hurricane felt miles away

This is one of my little poems I like writing poetry: a dream of a kiss too soon/and worlds converging whirlwind/heady warlock, what all is in there/invisible pinwheels/a drawing in both ways/to only a touch of union/and it seemed enough

I read that alfalfa tea has a very high calcium content.
