  1. Hey, compared with you I really feel like a rookie, I just joined ISKCON July 10th last year and it took me a while to get adjusted here, but my heart cried for it, one way or another...... Haha, you got a funny way of telling things, Theist, I can see the faces of the students of your school before me.... I remember the suspicious looks of some devotees here thrown into my direction when I was just here, wearing my, made in Rotterdam, Swami Sivananda T-shirt proudly, heck, did I know he was a Mayavadi...........anyway, he admits himself you can fall down from Brahman in his book conquest of fear.....so what better advertisement do you need for Krishna Consciousness......... Haribol....

  4. Yeah, in the beginning I didn't like the tilak, I hated this sika and dhoti...... But since a month ago I went to the morning program in a dhoti for the first time, wasn't ashamed anymore and since two days ago I have a little sika on the back of my head ( this picture was taken from me before Prabhupada a week ago, so there is no sika there). So I guess the conscioussnes changes one way or another in due time.....and hey.......after all, we're not the body, right ?
  5. Hey guys haribol..... what did Prabhupada say about the appearances of us, Vaishnava's, in the West.....I know we shouldn't look like hippies, i guess, but are there restrictions to clothing ourselves and then I mean in the Temple or on book distribution or on Harinam or whatever...... Thankx....
  6. Haribol Harsh, nice thread, good job...... this is for guest, can you maybe explain all this ??? http://www.indiadivine.org/audarya/recommended-websites/443301-ufos-medieval-paintings-jesus-mary-dinosaurs-humans-more.html
  7. Haribol guest, i am now in Rotterdam for a few days, but when i get back to Radhadesh, i will provide you with a quote from Srila Prabhupada in where he states that it is allright to perform Hatha yoga in combination or as a step to Bhakti yoga....
  8. Well, let's hope our best if that will be the case....... :pray::pray::pray::pray:
  9. Hey Suchanda Prabhu.... Here in Radhadesh we have had an Atma Yoga teachers trainers course of 4 weeks conducted by Atmananda Dasa from Los Angeles.... check this out... www.yogamandir.com Haribol and hope to have helped you, it is so cool to mix Hatha with Bhakti, just bizar....
  10. Yeah, this word is both suffering and pleasure, therefore it's best to get out of this world, material world and try to go to the Highest attainable, so create no more karma, then all is cool..... Haribol...!!
  11. GHari Ki Jay !!!!! :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :deal: :deal: :deal: :deal: :deal: :deal: :deal: :deal: :pray: :pray: :pray: :pray: :pray: :pray: :pray: :pray: :pray: :pray: :pray:
  12. Yeah, GHari..... exactly my thoughts, I didn't know this story, but it shows how we all are tested at some point in life...... One question...... As Krishna is love and light, then whenever He decides to test, He can be testing you in the form of darkness and evil also right ??? So I know that Krishna is like the Sun and Maya is darkness, so how to use the Sun to scare darkness away, in other words, how to scare Krishna away, it's like fighting God Himself, how can you fight God, I don't wanna fight God..... Anyway....it seems complicated and I cannot be specific here, but in our scriptures (or others) are there such examples...? Or is Krishna, in the form of darkness, just being protective for His devotee....? Oke, have to get some Darshan at Mangala Arati now......
  13. Okey Guest, have it your way......there are no tests..........and who said that a test is suffering ???? I didn't....but there are no tests...... Gaura Premananda Hari Haribooooooooooooooooooool.............
  14. I must say I heavily disagree with the NO TESTS THING....... You see, in my opinion the worlds above are exactly as the worlds here in this way that there is a hierarchy, one boss, the president and his ministers and their secretaries and then the whole way down... If I would apply for a job as a minister, they would blow themselves away out of their chairs of laughter because of my application, right ?? I mean, I am not qualified to be one, but if I have studied for years and years and have some experiences build up and a name in that field then they would consider me for the job and what would they do.....check my references and check me out totally, right ??? They like to know what I am made of and will put me to a test..... Likewise, if you wanna go to the higher worlds, then the higher beings first will check you out, and then raise their eyebrows in amazement and wonder, then they will put you through a test to see what you are made of, it is like this...... In my own experiences I have realized a thing or two, especially with this becoming Brahmachari thing..... Anyway, a test should be seen as an opportunity to show what you are made of and not as a suffering thing..... I mean, when Buddha wanted to become enlightened, then he had to pass some tests, like when MAYA came to visit him, or Jesus when he was tempted by this devil, these were all tests and why shouldn t the same thing not apply to the ones engaged in spiritual life ??? Just a thought....
  15. Since Krisna is the Supreme, then why shouldn't He be the Supreme Tester..? He wants to know what you are made of, when you decide to make yourself pure in desire, thought, word and deed..... I gues he thinks like this...: "Hey, who is this person who wants to penetrate into My Worlds.....?" Oke, He knows us already, but you know....we're involved in a play here, right ??? So that's what I can make out of all this.....correct me if I'm wrong.....
  16. Guys, Most of the time I am here in Radhadesh, I AM "EPHINANIZED" TO THE BONE, EVERYDAY I WRITE DOWN MY DREAMS AND WHAT IS FORETOLD THERE, YOU WON'T BELIEVE, SUCH GUIDANCE, oh, darn capitals, forgot to hit some button.... Anyway, you can read in my thread "Krishna and some Heavenly folks" here, how it all started in 1997, may the 4th or 5th, and since then it is such a magick journey, Krishna is soooo cool, I really love Him, even if it would turn out that Krishna is in fact Al Bundy, the shoe sales man from "Married with Children", I would still worship Him....... Yeah, pray like a madman, chant like your life is on stake and follow the morning programm and all will be fine, you're life will be successful, even when trouble comes.....and follow the 4 regulative principles......although I have to say that wih one of them I have a "not so ecstatic" relationship......it's just not easy..... Yep, miracles do happen.........:pray::pray:, just pray......
  17. Hey, who says this, it's still confusing, who says that the Bhagavatam was not altered, who were the men who kept it inside the houses and what about the Bhavysya Purana about Lord Jesus and so on..... If it is said that "some" puranas were altered, and nobody knows which ones, then ALL puranas become a bit unbelievable for other people, how can we ever prove to others that it is the Truth ????? :crying2: :crying2: :crying2: :crying2: :crying2: :crying2: :crying2: :crying2: :crying2:
  18. Yeah.... that's confusing indeed, all this.... But my thoughts are this, if Vishnu runs away for a demon, then it is IMPOSSIBLE for Vishnu to be God, right ?? I mean, God doesn't run away and hide Himself for a demon...... So what is stated in the Bhagavatam that Vishnu is an exspension/extension (sorry for my bad grammar) of Krishna and that Krishna appears to be God here.... or am I wrong ??
  19. I want to give you the links to far out pictures and video's in the style of the sixties from Prabhupada, Krishna and many more....... The guy who makes these is Romapada (username) and is very artistic, you can find him on these forums..... For the pictures, like the one I have as Avatar, check this link...: http://community.webshots.com/user/romapada108 For the cool video's, check this ...: http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=romapada And sometimes he disables some video's, then he posts them on this site....: http://video./video/search?p=veganvishnu&x=31&y=20 Enjoy them to the fullest...!!!! Haribol.....
  20. This reads a bit funny, while chanting in the forest (just came back, it was raining like crazy, yet, I kept on chanting...), I thought suddenly back to this sentence, I am Dutch so therefore I make these grammar mistakes sometimes.... It should say.... I really know what you're going through..... So, that's better.
  21. I have to say one last thing over this issue.... I just read your blog about this tracking device implant, and you know what ???? When I had this psychosis and thought something simular happened to me, my thoughts were......: " So what ???, I have nothing to hide.....God knows all about me, He knows the truth about me and the only One important for me is God, I am coming from God and I'm going back to God, let the others follow me, I don't care, I am an open book and I shall only speak the truth, I have nothing to hide...." In other words....... :uzi: :uzi: :uzi: :uzi: I remember a writing Mother Theresa had hanging on her wall, it goes like this : <TABLE id=AutoNumber1 style="BORDER-COLLAPSE: collapse" borderColor=#111111 cellSpacing=0 cellPadding=0 width="100%" border=0><TBODY><TR><TD width="80%" colSpan=2> It is said that Mother Theresa had this on her wall </TD><TD width="10%"> </TD></TR><TR><TD width="10%"> </TD><TD width="80%" colSpan=2><HR color=#000080 SIZE=1></TD><TD width="10%"> </TD></TR><TR><TD width="10%"> </TD><TD width="40%"> </TD><TD vAlign=top align=left width="40%"> People are often unreasonable, illogical, and self-centered; Forgive them anyway. If you are kind, people may accuse you of Selfish, ulterior motives; Be kind anyway. If you successful, you will win some False friend and some true enemies; Succeed anyway. If you are honest and frank, People may cheat you; Be honest and frank anyway. What you spend years building, Someone could destroy overnight; Build anyway. If you find serenity and happiness, They may be jealous; Be happy anyway. The good you do today, People will often forget tomorrow; Do good anyway. Give the world the best you have, And it may never be enough; Give the world the best you've got anyway. You see, in the final analysis, It is between you and God; It never was between you and them anyway. </TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE> Damn, I really have to read the BHAGAVATAM and more....
