Gopinath!! Hari!!!!

Yes. Most material happiness really only consists of a temporary relief from suffering, doesn't it? "I've stopped beating my head against the wall, and I suddenly feel so happy."

Super, super sweet!! I'm just listening to it now for the second time. Sooooo sweet!!! You and your family sing like gandharvas!!

Govinda!!

Not to be a party-pooper, but is this following the *English* alphabet, or Sanskrit/Bengali? There's no "F" in Sanskrit (though "Phalguni Krishna" is often pronounced as "Falguni"). Nor is there a "Q", "W", "X" or a "Z". In Sanskrit, there are three different "S"es, though, and two of almost every consonant.

I don't know that song, but I've been enjoying the over 2,000 Vaishnava-related audio files at: http://mahamantra.it/ which was linked to from the "Recommended Websites" section of Audarya.

Very well said. I was making many similar points earlier today on another web-site. However, unlike me, you actually do research to support your claims. Bravo!!

Do you consider yourself a Hindu? Gaudiya Vaishnavas do not consider themselves to be "Hindus". They are not hung up on such designations. If it will help ease your self-righteous indignation, consider Gaudiya Vaishnavism to be a separate religion from Hindusim (much the same way Jainism, Sikhism, and Buddhism have distinguished themselves from the spiritual culture in which they were born) and go defend your misguided conception of what your faith entails elsewhere. You can be right until you're blue in the face, then. Sri Krishna and the Krishna Conception are all-attractive. Your arrogance and intolerance are ugly and repulsive.

I'm trying to avoid getting into arguments here. What I'm saying is: is there such thing as a complete dictionary? You pose it as God vs. Prabhupada. I say Prabhupada (being a surrendered soul), knows better than the authors of the dictionaries what the Lord means to say. Clear enough? It's tempting to retort with sarcasm when faced with arrogance, but I'm trying to be more humble. Suffice it to say, I won't easily fall for a false dichotomy such as the one you have presented. The unwritten assumption in your statement is that *you* know better what the Lord was saying.

Amazing!!! Of course, being a fan of Shakespeare, who often took liberties with his mother tongue (inventing words and using words in novel ways), I wouldn't care one bit if Srila Prabhupada used meanings not found in *any* dictionary. He was being guided by the Lord from within.

Oh, darn!! Well, there's something to be said for using dedicated audio-recording equipment. I've been recording to computers for over 10 years now, and have seen my fair share of glitches. Still, the devotion comes through loud and clear!!!

Lovely performances!! I love that "blue" note in the chorus of "Jaya Jaya Nityananda". I heard a couple of glitches during playback. Hopefully that was my laptop hiccupping and not glitches in the audio files themselves. Keep up the great seva!!!!

Oooh! Fresh nectar. Downloading now. Gaura-Nitai!!!

What is the understanding of the Gopis regarding "vedic philosophy", "vedanta according to the gaudiya vaishnava understanding", etc.? Are the Gopis Krishna-Conscious?

I haven't played this one in a while (it's all too much). http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nE_cZIDh62g Song to the Siren Tim Buckley Long afloat on shipless oceans I did all my best to smile 'Til your singing eyes and fingers Drew me loving to your isle And you sang Sail to me Sail to me Let me enfold you Here I am Here I am Waiting to hold you Did I dream you dreamed about me? Were you hare when I was fox? Now my foolish boat is leaning Broken lovelorn on your rocks, For you sing, "Touch me not, touch me not, come back tomorrow: O my heart, O my heart shies from the sorrow" I am puzzled as the newborn child I am troubled at the tide: Should I stand amid the breakers? Should I lie with Death my bride? Hear me sing, "Swim to me, Swim to me, Let me enfold you: Here I am, Here I am, Waiting to hold you

Go Nina!!!

Holy Mole!! It's all too much!!! Too much mercy.

Bob can sing, after all!!! I like the bit of disco flair in the bass and drums!! Amazing!!

I think I must have been there at Woodstock in my last life. My Dad was there in this life.

Sandy brought me to tears. I don't know Fairport Convention very well, but George, the harmonica player in the band in which I'm playing has played with them before. He's a nice, peaceful Buddhist.

Just had a look, Mahaksa-ji. Way wild (especially the hair--nobody light a match!!). I'm scared to click on the first link, though.

"Catch a wave and you're sitting on top of the world" --The Beach Boys This is one tsunami that will cause no misery, only happiness.

To be clear. I think of Beggar, Kulapavana, Vedesu and most of the others to be more honey-bees than anything else. I'm still *aspiring* for the elevated position of spiritual prostitute. I'd like to *something* spiritual.

Tears of a clown? I'm glad you haven't lost your sense of humor, Pita-ji. Now, if I could just remember where I left mine...

Thank you for your compassion, Theist. I'll do my best to follow your heart-felt advice.
