As I$KCON attempts to establish itself more and more as a legitimate religion, it continues to slide into a somewhat vedic version of the United Church--all things to all people--the bigger the `congregation`, the more `donations` flowing in! Could this be part of the karmic reaction from deceiving the innocent public while `collecting` funds? "Ask not what we can do for God, but what God can do for us!" The religiosity Prabhupada warned us of in the `so-called Christians`? [This message has been edited by amanpeter (edited 08-09-2001).]

So if any two should agree on some aspect of the Absolute Truth, one must have `borrowed` from the other? Does God not have the right or the ability to reveal anything to anyone at anytime? "For the sincere seeker, Truth is simple and readily apparent everywhere; for the duplicitous, confusion runs rampant and complications become endless." There but for the GRACE of God...RADHE! RADHE! RADHE!

Nyuck Nyuck...

Atma still rules!

THEY'RE EVERYWHERE!!! THEY'RE EVERYWHERE!!!

Your obviously worthwhile service still does not give you the right to belittle or demean others, no matter how pathetic their little lives might appear to you. I'm sure many could find your personal experiences inspiring and I for one would greatly appreciate your sharing them here. I'm equally certain that, as a devotee, you give all glories to God and guru, not guns and politics. My own wretched history and present fallen useless position has already been sufficiently exposed to ridicule on both VNN and Dharma-mela forums, so I see no need to debase myself any further here. Then again, I am not a devotee nor am I a disciple of any particular guru and do not expect to become one in this lifetime. I do feel strongly, however, that how those who are treat each other is extremely significant, both for themselves and Lord Caitanya's movement as a whole. Building one's self-esteem at the expense of others' is definitely not the way to go, in my humble opinion. If there were a little more empathy and understanding between the devotees of all camps, they might reveal their own stories and accomplishments to the benefit of all. Sorry for taking this thread off topic, prabhus. JAI SRI RADHE!

We may continue to quote great souls ad infinitum, yet we remain bereft of their vision and few, if any of us, are even made of the same fiber. Though followers may think themselves leaders, they obviously are not. "Many are called, but few are chosen..." Preaching others' words certainly requires far less from us than actually helping, encouraging, and supporting one another in meaningful and practical ways. Love philosophy ad nauseum vs. Love reality in absentium!

Reminds me of japa walks in Vrindavan watching out for monkey ambushes!

Chant softly and carry a big stick?

So much easier to KILL our enemies than LOVE them. Killing them with love, though, well that's something else entirely, isn't it? Beads or bullets, bhajans or bombs--what'll it be, BB?

`Amazing guns, how sweet the sound, that strafed a wretch like thee...`

There, but for the Grace of `Guns`, go I...or, maybe, God is `guns`...???

What supreme munificence has been invested in each of us, we can hardly begin to imagine. All blessed hearts pregnant with unlimited expressions of Divinity never before revealed. What precious untold gifts we must carry, prabhus...

At last a worthy opponent for Shvu! Go to it, prabhus! ------------------ No offense meant to anyone...

Thank you, leyh prabhu, for so kindly sharing your gentle and sincere soul here with us. Peter/valaya

Just Curly! nyuck nyuck

Just watch out for RICOCHETS! [This message has been edited by amanpeter (edited 07-04-2001).]

Perhaps you would if you could, but first you've got to have it yourself, eh prabhu? You can still provide techniquette, though. nyuck nyuck ------------------ No offense meant to anyone...

Sure hope you gentlemen aren't bringing up `cajones` again...

What is the quickest way to a woman's heart? Through your wallet!

OUCH!
