Yogesh from za

There is Lies than there is Bloody Lies than there is Stats. This is from the mouth of one of the professional statistician at the MBA Unit where I am studying. But it makes life a little interesting to have numbers that gives some sort of indication or Trend of what you are interested in. Hare Krsna Jay Sirla Prabhupada

The movie was a made by a Bengali Movie Production house in the 1940's or 1950's. A beautiful recreation of the life of a TRUE MAHATMA. The film was entitled Haridas. The movie had English subtitle and I saw the movie about 5 years ago at Rathayatra. Unfortunately at that time the devotees who screened it did not have distribution rights. I was told that the reason the movie was not distributed at that time in India was because it was based on the life of a Muslim who became a great "Hindu" Saint. Just to put it in perspective....At that time/era India just gained Independence and there were many Hindu/Muslim clashes. The movie also includes scenes where Lord Chaitanya Chastises the Muslim Ruler Chand Khazi because he interrupted the Congregational Chanting of the Holy Names of the Lord. Some would probably say why would a film about someone who was born a "Muslim" then became a Great "Hindu" Saint cause rioting?? There are unfortunately many fanatics who belive that if you are born a Muslim you cannot convert to other Religion. That is also the reason why Sirla Haridas was Punished at that time by the Muslim ruler of Bengal Chand Khazi. He was whipped in 24 market places but Lord Chaitanyas Love for his most beloved devotee was such that Lord Chaitanya took the beating on his own back. At that time Sirla Haridas was also not accepted by the Brahmin Class and even today the same Brahmin type will not allow any non-Indian to enter some temples in India. So Lord Chaitanya showed these Brahmins that in the Eyes of the All Merciful Lord All Are Equal But He favours his devotees more than most. All Glories to Lord Chaitanya All Glories to Sirla Haridas:pray: All Glories to Vaishnava Devotees of The Lord:pray: All Glories to Sirla Prabhupada:pray: Hare Krsna

All Glories to Naam-Acharya Sirla Haridas Thakor I hope someone can help me. I am looking for an old Bengali movie of Hridas Thakor in a DVD/VCD format. If someone can give me the website it will be greatly appreciated Hare Krsna Jay Sirla Prabhupada

The question you have posed is not an easy one and I do not have an answer for it. The only way I can try to answer it is by asking: How do you control any persons actions which are manifestation of their desires born out of ideologies of hatred?? Do You think that by putting a gun to their heads will change the way they think?? We cannot even controll our own minds let alone controll others minds and desires. The only way is to first get your own house in order before trying to go out there and try to fix the world. It is natural for people persuing spiritual practise to feal empathy for their fellow humans. My only answer is to first rescue yourself before trying to rescue another. This may sound selfish but remember you are held responsible for your own actions. The best way is to mould your life in Krsna Conciousness (always conciouss of Krsna/God) so that it can manifest into positive actions which can impact positively on not only your life but that of others around you. You may say that it sounds like ostrich mentality or an immature bhakta. But I live by the following words:- Raghe Krsna Mare Kaun?? Mare Krsna Raghe Kaun?? Translation: If Krsna wants to protect me who can kill me? If Krsna wants to kill me who can protect me?? Hare Krsna Jay Sirla Prabhupada

The post by Suchandra makes a lot of sense. As Sirla Prabhupada states in one of his purport to Bhagavad Gita:- "Book Knowladge without realization of the Supreme Truth is useless." Just to back it up, the following is a verse from Padma Purana: atah sri-krsna-namadi na bhaved grah yam indriyaih sevonmukhe hi jihvadu svayam eva sphuraty adah. Translation: No one can understand the transcendental nature of the name, form, quality and pastimes of Sri Krsna through his materially contaminated senses. Only when one becomes spiritually saturated by transcendental service to the Lord are the transcendental name, form, quality and pastimes of the Lord revealed to him. Hare Krsna Jay Sirla Prabhupada

"Our enemies are innovative and resourceful and so are we.They never stop thinking about new ways to harm our country and our people and neither do we." Nuff said

Please accept my 100fold humble obeisance All Glories to the Vaishnava Devotees of the Lord!!! All Glories to HDG Sirla Prabhupada!!! Please keep up the amazing work and show those Pandas that Lord Jaganath is the Lord of ALL and not a Select few. May Lord Narsimha protect you so have NO FEAR!!! I will definitely try and make a stop over and pay my obesiance to the Lord when I come to India next month Can you please direct me on how to get to the Temple?? I will also visit Jaganath Puri but will not enter the main temple but I will pay my obesiance to the Lord from outside. Hare Krsna Jay Sirla Prabhupada

Was the Krukshetra war waged on a designated battelfield??? Or was it waged in towns and cities? Was the soldiers and Great Generals firing arrows and missiles at civilian targets??? I was under the impression that the war was fought in a clearly demarcated areas. Kshatriya meant persons who give protection to the unarmed citizens/civilians??? Hare Krsna Jay Sirla Prabhupada

Yes it is possible to learn Sanskrit. (As Sirla Prabhupada said "Impossible is a word in a fools dictionary"). But will it equip you to better understand scripture?? Well...it will depend. Firstly you have to allighn what you read to the thoughts/understandings of a BONAFIDE SAMPRADAYA or lineage of previous Great saintly personalities coming from Sirla Ved Vyasa the original author of Bonafide Scriptures. You or anybody may ask "Why do I have to Allighn?" The reason I say this is because Sanskrit is also known as Devangari or Language of the Gods and also one Sanskrit word may have different meanings. Great scholars have studied Sanskrit But have they truly appreciated the language in understanding Scriptures?? I highly doubt it. As the saying goes they are licking the outside of the honey jar. That is why I say no problem study Sanskrit but allighn your understanding with a Bonafide Sampradaya to truly taste the sweet honey inside the jar. So enjoy studying Sanskrit because it is a beautiful language which is not a spoken language but a poetic language that is sung. So go ahead and study the Language and use it to sing the Glories of the Supreme Lord and taste the Nectar. Hare Krsna Jay Sirla Prabhupada

I have never heard such highly convoluted English. I hope the guest can bring his English down a notch or two. A bit of plain English might make some sense I Hope. Maybe it is just meanderings of a very confused mind:confused:

Mistake corrected. If only life could be corrected this easily

I forgot to also ask What do you want the Mantra to do for you?? Is it... To gain a beautifull wife/husband Gain richess beyond your wildest imagination Gain fame throughout the three worlds Become a powerfull warrior I forgot the others But I am sure there is someone out there who can help me complete the list of One of the things most wanted from a Mantra before leaving this material abode. On my travels through India I am sure for good couple of quids/bucks I can get you a Mantra. I will send you my account details. (As the saying goes for everything else there's mastercard) But Alas I think for my own miserable condition I don't see any hope Hare Krsna Jay Sirla Prabhupada

Oops sorry pressed wrong button: It seems like you already have a mantra. So why are you seeking do you want to free your mind or gain some knowladge, power, prestige??? If you are seeking some material benefits then yes you should not ask the Hare Krsnas because they will lead you on a path of material destruction. Just look at me I have been cursed by this little Blue Boy who sent an Old Man to the West and made my material life a living Hell. So if you find that Mantra that can free me from this "Misery" please help!!! Hare Krsna Jay Sirla Prabhupada

the meaning of the word Vaikuntha? I read it somewhere but forgot. Hare Krsna Jay Sirla Prabhupada:)

The guest was just posting on Sikhisim's basic tenants/beliefs and we should just leave it at that. If he tries to impose these "beliefs" on Sanatan Dharma than we can challange. This is an open forum where we can understand the "beliefs" or views of other(s) cultures or belief system. Everyone has a capacity to develop at their own pace and are attaracted to a Religion most suitable to their level of understanding/development and this I see as a Mercy Of Lord Krsna. So we should not attack/critisize someones belief system untill they try and impose. Hare Krsna Jay Sirla Prabhupada

The question was what did Sirla Prabhupada say about Sikhisim. But as you mentioned the Sikh "Religion" came about or developed through "time place and circumstances." I think that says it all.

Very Nice and Illuminating thoughts on the above post. I really enjoyed your realizations. Once Again Thank You Hare Krsna Jay Sirla Prabhupada

I have seen a nature documentary where Plants of the same species communicate with each other. This is how it happens. There was a certain shrub/tree that goats use to feed on. The leaves of this shrub/tree is very nurishing but as soon as the goats start to feeding on it, it starts sending chemical signals to other bush from the same species and immediately the other shrub/trees start to produce chemicals that makes the leaves turn bitter. It must be some sort of defense or survival technique. These chemicals signals are carried by the wind. This is so amazing.

When I use the term "servant" it does not make someone less. But it shows their Love for that personality. Let me make an example. The relationship between a man and wife. If there is lot of Love between the two and the wife takes on "servant" or servitude role does that make her less?? No it shows her Greatness and the husband would reciprocate in the same way. If you are going away to the forest to meditate I wish you all the Best in attaining the mercy of Lord Shiva and If I could ask a Little favour.....If Lord Shiva may give me a little of his mercy that I may become a better devotee and follow Sirla Prabhupadas teachings without causing Vaishnava Aparaadh. Yes sometimes I can become emotional But what to do? I am a personalist (not impersonalist) and as you are very much attracted to Lord Shiva, I am very much attracted to Lord Krsna and All Vishnu Avatars and All Dear Devotees. But onething I will not allow my emotions to cause Vaishnava Aparaadh. I am still learning and growing and maybe by the mercy of all Bhaktas (Krsna or Shiva) I may reach my goal of becoming a servant of the servant of my most beloved object of worship Lord Krsna. So I ask for forgiveness if I have offended You or any other devotees. Wishing You all the Best in your Sadhana

Please becareful of making Vaishnava Aparaadh by blaspheming against Lord Shiva also called Mahadev. There was also a similar sampradaya (lineage) like the Gaudiya Lineage we follow called the Rudra Sampradaya. I am sure other more knowladgable devotees could give more information about the Rudra samradaya (lineage) To Yogi Prabhu... On the point of your quote " His maya permeates the Universe, but he Himself is not affected by Maya nor is he affected by any other three gunas" There are many instances in the pastimes of Lord Shiva where he becomes enraged or attracted. I am not sure if you recall the incident where when the Devtas And Asuras were churning the Ocean for Nectar. After the nectar was churned and by the grace of Lord Shiva who was asked to remove the poison, There was a a quarel between The 2 sides over who should have the nectar. So Lord Vishnu appeared in the attractive female form as Mohini to take the nectar away from the demons. When Lord Shiva saw the attractive form of the Lord Immediately he lost all composure and ran after her even though Mother Parvati was present. Only great lerned personalities will understand the great relationship between Lord Shiva And Lord Vishnu. Is this just another "story" that you would like to dismiss.... and many other "stories"???? On the point of all the Avatars of Godhead i.e. Ram, Krsna Bhagavan etc.and great personalities like Queen Kunti praying to Lord Shiva so what??? Lord Rama took on the Manushya Avtaar as well as All Other Avatars and as was always the Manushya tradition to Pray to Lord Shiva according to custom and tradition. And Rukmini prayed to Lord Shiva to beget a Good Husband and look at her great fortuin of attaining Bhagawan Swayam as her Husband through the mercy of Lord Shiva. What can we learn from these Great Personalities like Queen Kunti, Rukmini etc... who prayed to Lord Shiva??? We can learn to pray and ask A Great Boon From Lord Shiva that he may give us some of his mercy so that we may attain (like Rukmini) Krsna Bhagawan and go back to Vaikunt or Hari Dham All Glories to Topmost VAisnava Mahadev ( Har Har Mahadev!!!) All Glories to HDG Sirla Prabhupada (Dear servant of the Topmost servant Mahadev Servant of Lord Hari) Hare Krsna

I will quote directly from Gito Upanishad Sung By Lord Krsna on the Battlefield and written by Sirla Vyasadev (Param Guru) I will not include Sirla Prabhupada's purports (although to all devotees the purports help to ground the meaning) since you have an aversion to them. CHAPTER 10 TEXT 22 vedanam sama-vedo'smi devanam asmi vasavah indriyanam manas casmi bhutanam asmi cetana vedanam - of all the Vedas; sama-vedah - the Sama-veda; asmi - I am devanam - of all demigods; asmi - I am; vasavah - heavenly kings; indriyanam - of all the senses; manah - mind; ca - also; asmi - I am; bhutanam - of all living entities; asmi - I am; cetana - the living force; CHAPTER 10 TEXT 23 rudranam sankaras casmi vitteso yaksa - raksasam vasunam pavakas casmi meruh sikharinam aham rudranam - of all the Rudras; sankarah - Lord Siva; ca - also; asmi - I am vittesah - the lord of treasury ; yaksa-raksasam - of the Yaksas and Raksasas; vasunam - of the vasunam; pavakah - fire; ca - also; asmi - I am; meruh - Meru; sikharinam - of all mountains; aham - I am. Now here is the clincher. You mentioned that Lord Siva showed the universal form to Lord Rama.....Well lets see what Gito Upanishad says:- CHAPTER 11 TEXT 6 pasyadityan vasun rudran asvinau marutas tatha bahuny adrsta-purvani pasyascaryani bharata pasya - see; adityan - the twelve sons of Aditi; vasun - the eight Vasus rudran - the eleven forms of Rudra; asvinau - the two Asvins; marutah - the forty nine Maruts ( demigods of wind); tatah - also; bahuni - many; adrsta - that you have not heard or seen; purvani - before; pasya - there see; ascaryani - all the wonderful; bharata - O best of the Bharatas. Now it is said many of the forms shown by Lord Krsna when he exhibited his Universal form was not seen or heard before. If Lord Shiva had shown the universal form during Treta Yuga how is it that Lord Krsna states that no one has seen or heard of these forms before in the Dwarpa Yuga???? I must also add that I am disappointed in those devotees that disrespect other BONAFIDE GURUS in other BONAFIDE PARAMPARA SYSTEM (lineage) Hare Krsna All Glories To HDG Sirla Prabhupada (dear most servant of the servant Maha-dev servant of Lord Hari) "PHILOSOPHY WITHOUT RELIGION IS SPECULATION, RELIGION WITHOUT PHILOSOPHY IS FANATICISM"

I have not put anyone down as you assert. Please quote if I have! The reason why Sirla Prabhupada, as I understood it, did not want just anyone reading Vedic Scripture is for the same reson we see here now...Misinterpretation leading to quarrel. The only way to understand any Books of knowladge is by studying under a BONAFIDE GURU (teacher). Let me try and clarify...... If You have read medical journals can you call yourself a Doctor??? JUST BECAUSE YOU HAVE LITTLE MORE KNOWLADGE THAN ANOTHER PERSONE ARE YOU ASSERTING YOU KNOW EVERYTHING??? Who is your GURU or have you just picked up some Vedic scriptures and made your own interpretation (Yogikrya and Atanu) ??? Lastly I have never said Sirla Prabhupada is the only Vaishnava Servant or the Only Dear Most Servant of the Lord. I have not read a single passage of devotees disregarding or disrespecting other servants in other BONAFIDE Lineage. Please Do Not Put Words in my mouth. Jay Gauranga Hare Krsna All Glories To HDG Sirla Prabhupada (dear most servant of the servant topmost vaishnava MAHA-DEV servant of Lord Hari)
