This pretty much says it all, doesn't it?

Lord Caitanya does not appear in every Kali-yuga
Murali_Mohan_das replied to Vigraha's topic in Spiritual Discussions
Kalki will appear *if* and *when* He feels like it. He isn't bound by any rules or timetables. He could come tomorrow if He wishes. -
Meditation good for Kali Yuga? - Buddhism & TM
Murali_Mohan_das replied to dhaa's topic in Spiritual Discussions
Yes, but what is the most *appropriate* method of meditation and yoga for this age? Sriman Mahaprabhu recommends chanting the Hare Krishna mahamantra as the best meditation for this age. To the extent that purely chanting the Holy Names "yokes" us to the Divine, it is also the best yoga (though Hatha Yoga certainly has physical benefits). -
The spirit soul and the mind...

Those works are not summaries of anybody's beliefs, they are somewhat detailed descriptions of life, the Universe, and everything. -
Sorry, but I do not know that one. Best of luck in finding it!!

If you can't summarize what you believe in a sentence or two, then you're probably hopelessly confused. -

So is achintya-bedAbedha. The Gaudiya Vaishnavas aren't advaita, but they also aren't dvaita. -
Not exactly. He remains a diksha disciple of Srila Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada and still gives all honor to his Gurudev. He took sannyas from Srila Gurudev and preaches in praise of and on behalf of all of his gurus to appreciative audiences worldwide. Sripad Bhakti Premik Siddhanti Maharaja (formerly Chidananda Brahmachari) pictured on our right (to the left of Sripad Giri Maharaja and Sripad Aranya Maharaja):

Spoken like a true ksatriya. I have no desire to follow the examples of the ksatriyas, though. The example of the Gopis has been held up to me as the highest to which I can aspire (to serve). Even though Sri Krishna did them greivous injury by leaving them and living like a King in Dwaraka, the Gopis had no animosity towards Him, nor could they even conceive of having any animosity towards Him. They would not dream of correcting Him (except, perhaps, to playfully tease Him).

Alex, I find a lot more inspiration and encouragement in your personal testimonial than in anything you might quote from PL.

Way to tell it like it is!!! Clear as mud, er, pure water.

Assuming there isn't more than one disciple of Srila Prabhupada named "Cidananda", do you know who/where Cidananda Prabhu is today? I'll give you a hint: he's serving at the feet of a pure Vaishnava.

Beautiful!!!!!!!

Such is the beautiful "logic" of the Gopis. If only we men could be so "foolish".

By my definition of sahajiya, it's sahajiya for me to assume that my attempts at sense gratification are justified because Sri Krishna is enjoying Himself through my senses. To see Sri Krishna as enjoying our offerings to Sri Guru is called humility. If Guru is as good as God (or better than God), then Guru is certainly not bound by any rules and regulations, regardless of their formal adherence to such rules and regulations. I know that thought scares the pants off those with weak faith.

It's not such a big deal to me. I'll leave it at my speculation. However, since anything is possible, I'd rather not judge anybody else based on my unconsciously absorbed Victorian morals. If Sri Nityananda (or one of his shaktyavesa avataras) walks out of a bar with a woman on one arm and a bottle of wine in the other, surely he is engaged in preaching.
