gHari 0 Report post Posted June 11, 2003 I remember that I found out about the false Sita when I found out about Lord Caitanya finding out. We discovered together. Krsna was so kind, that He gave a tiny glimpse into how delighted and relieved Sri Krsna Caitanya must have felt at that moment. I was stunned. Can you remember when you found out? This was obviously a smoke-screen to avoid admitting that the only pseudo-answer I can derive is "either Krsna's flute or 'tapa' ". gHari Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Subala 1 Report post Posted June 11, 2003 1. mara 2. Pulastya? (or pulaha - i think pulasya) 3. Once i was driving with Drutakarma prabhu from conference in Atlanta back to Potomac md, 6 hours drive and to keep me awake we did this quiz things. 6 hours went by with a speed of thought. And the most memorable point of this jorney was then he asked me this question and I remembered it from CC. Wow i was so "fired up" by actully remembering this small detail for some reason. It was panchaapsara lake. And Achyta moni cursed them to become crocodiles. 5. I think it is Kurma purana 6. Pradhana? mahat comes from pradhan? 7. ta-pa - aye 8. Prayag 9. 1 month? 10. Chaitanya initiated Tukaram (way before Chaitanya's appearance) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Subala 1 Report post Posted June 11, 2003 I think Prabhupada disapproved devotees have quiz competitions. If memory serve me it was in dallas devotees made "quiz show" among gurukulis and Prabhupada stopped this. But I don't think this is not right if say i'm driving alot and to stay awake keep mind busy with this quizes. I can't chant then i drive - it becomes submarine japa real quickly, /images/graemlins/frown.gif and it is kind of dangerous on a road driving 80 mph. Anyway ....
