  1. A primary Lesson from the Bhagavad-Gita: "Happy are the kshatriyas** to whom such fighting opportunities come unsought, opening for them the doors of the heavenly planets." [**the societal warrior/protective class of Worker; ie: Police, Fireman, Civil-service etc] Krishna condemns the attitude of Arjuna, who said, “I do not find any good in this fighting. It will cause perpetual habitation in hell.” He wanted to become nonviolent in the discharge of his specific duty. For a kshatriya to be on the battlefield and to become nonviolent is the philosophy of fools. Arjuna had no reason to refrain from fighting. If he should conquer his enemies, he would enjoy the kingdom; and if he should die in the battle, he would be elevated to the heavenly planets, whose doors were wide open to him. Fighting would be for his benefit in either case. In the Parashara-smriti, or religious codes made by Parashara, the great sage and father of Vyasadeva, it is stated: “The kshatriya’s duty is to protect the citizens from all kinds of difficulties, and for that reason he has to apply violence in suitable cases for law and order. Therefore he has to conquer the soldiers of inimical kings, and thus, with religious principles, he should rule over the world.”
  2. the beginning letter 'A' in abraham could be a pre-fix denoting 'Great' [in contrast to denoting the negative "un" or "not"] Also, Abraham may be a aberration of 'aham Brahma-asmi' Regarding the name "Yudhisthira" . . . the 'Y' is also pronounced as a 'J' thus, Judhisthia. "Jude 'history" is from mleccha [meat eater] to "Malachi" [King]. From Mata [mother] to "Matar" [to kill]. From carelessness to "Felony Stupid enmass". What the roots of the word/term: European/Europa contained within the term, 'Indo-European'? Uru - wide, vast. Pean/peon/Pa - [purusha] person.
  3. Or, maybe your subtle-body (mind/intel/False Ego) had astro-projected to a location where these events were happening --thus you were witnessing an other persons suffering. The other persons' sufferings may have caused them to cry out for help --and you heard it and came running. I also think, in this senerio that if help could be offered by you --from your presence via Astro-projection --then, maybe the actual benefits that you could have offered to console them . . . is what is blank-out from your waking recollections. Note: I've experienced the following and maybe you have too: I have a nightmare-type dream . . . and a Horrific Monster-like creature comes to attack me: and I "Vigorously Slap 'em in the face and tell to remember his station-in-life, and to stop being such a non-sense". Paramahansa Yogananda [in his, 'AutoBiography of a Yogi'] wrote of his own astro-ly traveling and thus seeing the suffering dieing soldiers in the midsts of World War II. --// or //-- You were overhearing neighbors/Alarm Radio News Reports/Television program. Note: the interesting way to analyse a dream is to list the components of the dream: overstressed sleeping longer than usual situations of my life a person whom hates me i believe shoots with a gun. 4 bullets left leg fell down thinking to be my end. a person whom hates me running towards me with a knife sprayed something on my legs taking out bullets with knife. i saw myself hospital person sitting beside me. too tense. I asked to get something he disappeared. my family members loved one giving me advice regularly in my dreams.
  4. I now see your point clearly. Words are a tricky thing. [That is why lawyers make big money] We're back on the same track here. academically yours, Bhaktajan
  5. According to the OED & Soon-to-be unvailed new entry to Wikipedia: "Ass-Backwards" You've got it "Ass-Backwards". .......................................................................................... My edits are in Bold Type: Ego is based on the [existance of personal Consciousness] that all consciously perceived separate objects in our causal (temporal) material world, comprise all of reality; and that we ourselves are distinctly individual - and autonomously acting - conscious material beings.. So, Ego is real (everything is real), but Ego is false [False-Ego is false]. And the Supreme Personality [is the Origin of Personality and traits of persona found in all living entities], because He is total consciousness; He is everything. [Every other thing in creation is distinct and seperated from Him yet they are without animation & purpose without seeking out their origin in the form of Godhead Krishna and His own Pastimes].. ..................................... Please forgive any offense I've made herein above --I speak academically and I intend no harm and brusing of your ego or your hine-quarters. Just par for the course. academically yours, Bhaktajan
  6. This is the Brahmanda from Bird's-Eye POV. The Drawing is to scale as per Srimad Bhagavatam 5th Chapter At the center of Garbho Ocean is a Golden-Reflective surfaced round Dish-like area with a Mountain range Rim called Aloka-Loka. At the Center of the above described area is a Ring-shaped Ocean that has an Island in its center --that has another 6 smaller [undetectably smaller] concentric circular ring Islands --until the Center Island [Jambuvipa]. This Center Island [Jambuvipa] has a Cylinder-Cone Shaped mountain that is also has a Golden-Reflective surface. The Stars below the top of the Aloka-Loka Mountain range Rim have as its North Star, 'Druva-Loka'. The Rest of the data has a Sholka Verse Number --and so I leave you with a map of the last [or first] frontier. Helping the world get oriented, Bhaktajan
  7. People seem to expect HR 875 to be titled "The Criminalization of Organic Farming and the Take over of the US Food Supply." When they don't see any words to that effect anywhere in the bill, they declare "this bill is fine" and those seeing dangers are "alarmists." .................................................... Monsanto is involved in legislation to destroy all small and family farming! OPPOSE BILL HR 875 > Link: http://www.gnhealth.com/calltoaction.html

  9. This is what I've been telling me mum and co-workers. Both groups have very special nick-names for me that I wont post here.
  10. THE KALASA NAME ON THE ABOVE POSTER is situated where the Virajaa energy is located. It is stated that the material energy and the spiritual energy are separated by water known as the Virajaa River.
  11. 1--When Durvaasaa, who was greatly afflicted by the blazing fire of the Sudarshan chakra, was thus refused by Lord Brahmaa, he tried to take shelter of Lord Shiva, who always resides on his planet, known as Kailaasa. 2 --On the southern side of Sumeru are two mountains named Kailaasa and Karaveera, which extend east and west for 18,000 yojanas. 3--The abode known as Kailaasa is full of different herbs and vegetables, and it is sanctified by Vedic hymns and mystic yoga practice. Thus the residents of that abode are demigods by birth and have all mystic powers. Besides them there are other human beings, who are known as Kinnaras and Gandharvas and are accompanied by their beautiful wives, who are known as Apsaraas, or angels. 4--Kailaasa is full of mountains filled with all kinds of valuable jewels and minerals and surrounded by all varieties of valuable trees and plants. The top of the hill is nicely decorated by various types of deer. 5--There are many waterfalls, and in the mountains there are many beautiful caves in which the very beautiful wives of the mystics are found. 6--On Kailaasa Hill there is always the rhythmical sound of the peacocks’ sweet vibrations and the bees’ humming. Cuckoos are always singing, and other birds whisper amongst themselves. 7--There are tall trees with straight branches that appear to call the sweet birds, and when herds of elephants pass through the hills, it appears that the Kailaasa Hill moves with them. When the waterfalls resound, it appears that Kailaasa Hill does also. 8--The whole of Kailaasa Hill is decorated with various kinds of trees, of which the following names may be mentioned: mandaara, paarijaata, sarala, tamaala, taala, kovidaara, aasana, arjuna, aamra-jaati (mango), kadamba, dhuli-kadamba, naaga, punnaaga, campaka, paatala, ashoka, bakula, kunda and kurabaka. The entire hill is decorated with such trees, which produce flowers with fragrant aromas. 9--There are other trees also which decorate the hill, such as the golden lotus flower, the cinnamon tree, maalatee, kubja, mallikaa and maadhavee. 10--Kailaasa Hill is also decorated with such trees as kata, jackfruit, julara, banyan trees, plakshas, nyagrodhas and trees producing asafoetida. Also there are trees of betel nuts and bhoorja-patra, as well as raajapooga, blackberries and similar other trees. 11--There are mango trees, priyaala, madhuka and inguda. Besides these there are other trees, like thin bamboos, keecaka and varieties of other bamboo trees, all decorating the tract of Kailaasa Hill. 12--There are different kinds of lotus flowers, such as kumuda, utpala and shatapatra. The forest appears to be a decorated garden, and the small lakes are full of various kinds of birds who whisper very sweetly. There are many kinds of other animals also, like deer, monkeys, boars, lions, rikshas, shalyakas, forest cows, forest asses, tigers, small deer, buffalo and many other animals, who are fully enjoying their lives. 13--There are varieties of deer, such as karnaantra, ekapada, ashvaasya, vrika and kastooree, the deer which bears musk. Besides the deer there are many banana trees which decorate the small hillside lakes very nicely. 14--There is a small lake named Alakanandaa in which Satee used to take her bath, and that lake is especially auspicious. All the demigods, after seeing the specific beauty of Kailaasa Hill, were struck with wonder at the great opulence to be found there. The water in which Satee used to bathe was Ganges water. In other words, the Ganges flowed through the Kailaasa-parvata. There is every possibility of accepting such a statement because Ganges water also flows from the hair of Lord Shiva. Since Ganges water rests on the head of Lord Shiva and then flows to the other parts of the universe, it is quite possible that the water in which Satee bathed, which was certainly very nicely scented, was Ganges water. :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: Bhaktajan: I am mystified --I DO NOT KNOW WHAT IS MEANT BY THE KALASA NAME ON THE ABOVE POSTER! --TBD.
  12. temples occupy a lot of space...30 thousand of them! Imagine! [Oh Really? --So while taking a 4 Hour Train Ride across India's in-country regions . . . a passenger will pass by endless, countless 'Temples' without a vistas of rural country-sides? Standing Room Only? Only on the edges of the patty Fields?] Without factories, what can you produce? [Do you not actually mean to say, 'Without cheap Labor from rural migrant workers'?? Industrialisation is a means to subjugate the masses. True productivity means happiness ~ we are not, as a whole, producing happiness!!! Since the beginning of the "Industrial Revolution" --YOU see progress?? HA Ha. If Yes, That makes you sound like Lucifer himself. What was the apex of modernity? VE Day? Moon Rocks? Oils Spills? Aides Medicines? Enriched White Flour Products? Mercury filled Fish? Cheap Paper Face Masks? Japanese Technological Advancements? North Korean Self-Pride? Muslim Self-Pride? School Children are being cheated! You cannot speak truth in school--or else the kids would be scared to death at what their Adult-World does predicted upon young new comers entering the market place] . . . slumdog kinda movies . . . [Who makes those kinds of Movies? Philanthropists? Secular cut-throat free-enterprise creates it for a lust for 'sensationalism'.] . . . living people are starving in the streets of India . . . [the people starving on the streets --are cursed ex-wealthy merchants that are reconciling their past mis-deeds. The same is done the world over in each country ... to much worse degrees 'of stupidity' ... all ending up in misery yet again].
  13. Well suprise-suprise! No one has yet to mentioned the word: 'Oblivion'. 'Oblivion' is the opposite of "Enlightenment". Brahman is not 'Oblivion'. Living in samsara is 'Oblivion'. Living in the material world is a life of 'Oblivion'. 'Oblivion' vs 'Ego' is the defacto status quo of our sojourn in the material world(s). Ego is as ego does. --"What a nice Ego you are! Such a good ego. You must make your mum proud! I hope you marry a good, rich ego and have a few qute little egos . . . may God bless your egos, one and all!" MY OLD THEATRE ANALOGY: We the people [ie, cinema audience members] are all watching the same Movie Screen --but, we are all seeing the same field of stimuli --from different POVs [point-of-views]. Each POV [ie, one's own seating location in an audience] attests to the 'relationship' of a jiva-atma [thus, an ego possessor] with the 'field of activities' {The argument that says 'a theist is applying Anthromorphic qualities to a notion of God with a Human-like Form' --does not account for the omniscient quality of Real Conscious Exisitence possessed by the Knower, See'r, and steward of transcendental knowledge during times of History divorced of modernity's kali-yuga blood-lusts}. All 'Things' occur while we watch the star on the stage --or we watch out for our petty constructs that we egos drape ourselves with. All 'Things' are real, real, REAL! At all times! There is real "space" [brahman]. In this space TIME passes! The knots of matter intertwines with energy in a place that supplements both: "space" [brahman]. Regarding the Soul: Consciousness, by definition is indeed the very nature & concept of the topic of "Bliss" --this sensation of Blissfullness is part and parcel to 'chitta' [cognisance] & 'sattva' [eternality]. The Vedas state: The living soul [the 'jiva-atma' ~an individual soul] is composed of three inseperable 'qualities': Sattva = all eternality Chitta = all cognisance Ananda = all blissfull . . . but, due to the Soul's infitestimal 'personal' size . . . it is limited in . . . material overlordship. The souls of all those who have ever lived thoughout time since antiquities immemorial ---all have irrevocable rights to possess theirown soul. YOU CAN"T TAKE A PERSONS SOUL AWAY FROM THEM! [Not to be confused with a soul that self-degrades themselves to the level of gross wollowing-in-the-mire [samsara] due to aversion to the Vedic Conlusion that the "Absolute Truth" is A Supreme Personality of Personalism (known as the Godhead)]. The Vedas state: that the Soul is 'sat-cit-ananda'. The Vedas state: God, by defintion, is the fountainhead origin of 'sat-cit-ananda'. The Vedas state: All souls are indivisable, insoluable, individual. So, we each one and all of us souls have an ADDRESS of our own: OUR OWN INDIVIDUAL PERSONAL SOUL. Maha-mantra blesses all of the cosmos as we resound it. Before elightenment [purify the false ego by daily sadhana practice] chop wood and carry water . . . After enlightenment [see onesown soul as a servant of the whole] chop wood and carry water. ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: Everything is "Brahman into Brahman" --[does anyone know where this is from? I've read it somewhere many years ago].
  14. Yes, jeffster you are correct regarding 'surrender'. If after all that has happened in history --and if a sincere soul has studied the human condition birth after birth and then finally is exposed to Krishna's Person --and then still does not surrender to the personal concept of Godhead as 'hidden' through history --is due to puffed-up-ness. Mind you, being puffed-up (egotistical) is a petty/small-minded thing. Cats (dogs too) seem aware of their 'pretty-ness'. A cat demonstrates that they care not a fig for an onlookers' demands. Animal run from fear and attack out of fear and they sense fear and so they strut their stuff. A dog knows his agility is beyond the humans' --and the dog knows that he is subserviant. The human experience and human history (is there other types of history?) are shared and gone through along with other persons . . . so, I've always wondered that if societally homogenous people grow-up together and then DIE together --do they more-or-less travel in the same 'samsara-circles' --IOW, will souls end up in the next births as groups [due to similarity of the fruits of their acts]?
  15. A primary Lesson: The Laborer Class must be supervised and encouraged constantly by administrative personel lest the worker classes lose morale
  16. So the pigmy, the aboriginal, the Tropical jungle dwellers never were given divine guidance? Not possible that an 'uncivilised' tribesman could pray in such a way that it would be answered? Could it have been a local Shaman that prayed for something to show the way to a meaningful life --that caused the conquistadors to arrive and pillage everything? I can see how an avatar might appear to teach only a petty little primary lesson [in lieu of exposing God's majesty or personal pastimes]. It would seem that self-determination is required along with circumstance ergo, "time and place". God appears as per time and place to teach the lesson appropiate for the audence that is present. and also, God appears as per time and place --when his own personal interests are made way for. No?
  17. Yes, I too have a problem.Me thinks that is delusional.Any body who see a "radiant figure" in a caravan looter and slave trader is outright delusional. <!-- / message -->But, on the other hand God incarnates and preaches according to the level of comprehension as per time and place . . .
  18. the nature of God or Krishna is that He is the First Person, with his own name, fame, form, personailty, paraphenalia, entourage and pastimes that transpire in an atmosphere that is not material --like those that we spirits in the material world, with are limited senses are accustom to. A "Nirguna - and a Saguna" aspect is a mis-statement. Brahman is Nirguna --that is all. [all of creation is otherwise a manifestation of material nature's 'Guna-influence']. Saguna is an intellectural name for Krsihna's [God himself] non-materail status. The term Saguna is too impersonal an analysis. It is like the Doctor saying to the nurse, "Please move the human organism to the operation Room". When I speak of the void --I do not intend for the Buddhist concept to be invoked. The Void (brahman) is a "______" that is part of the Trinity of God's sphere of expansion(s). IMO, There is no dis-connect [from God-consciousness] implied by me, when I invoke the definition of brahman as a void. There is paramatma & Bhagavan & the devatas & service to others & the obligation to preform one's own dharma & there is also the motivation & provisions to enjoy. The impersonal reference to Brahman should invoke Lord Brahma --ergo, the other progenitors of the population of the celetial mangament staff residing in places that do not resemble our neighborhoods. ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: I don't get mad --I scheme to get a plate of Krishna-maha-prashadam in your hands [or something of the equivilent] --or at least I pine to do so. ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: different religions exist? I count three [albeit along with denominations and sects and languages and insight and value system and histories]: Hindu Vedas. Judeo-Christian Bible. Muslim Koran. Other so-called paths are DIFFERENT because free-will many times conflicts with filial-devotions & dedication to traditions as past down & the associated karma of the Tribe that is award a newborn due to what the newborn had cultivated in their last life times.
