Gauracandra 1 Report post Posted October 14, 2004 If you were to overlay a map of the U.S. and a map of India on top of each other, you could rougly segment certain areas of the U.S. to correspond to areas in India. I think there should be sister temples between the U.S. and India. For instance, Washington and Oregon temples could work together to assist in projects on the west of India. Temples in Texas can work with temples in South India. The Boston, New York, and Philadelphia temples can work on the east of India like Manipur, Calcutta etc.... Many cities in the U.S. have sister cities with other countries like Japan or Germany. Its usually a small plaque and some ornamental gift. But I think the idea of regional areas in the U.S. supporting regional projects in India would be good. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gHari 0 Report post Posted October 14, 2004 So that would mean the Toronto temple would support Tibet. What is it that makes the Dali Lama so popular with karmies? He seems to turn up everywhere. Of course he never talks about God. He chuckles a lot and talks maybe about being happy. We need a cool generic nonsectarian ambassador to show up on Oprah and Letterman and project a sane likeable image for Sri Caitanya's movement to the so hip too hip world. Perhaps I will accept the mission improbable when I promote my new book "The Joke Stops Here". Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mini 0 Report post Posted October 17, 2004 Hello, I have read that Buddha was always silent when asked about God. There have been Avatars sent to earth to put people onto path of enlightment, like Krishna and Christ. I am yet to see for myself the Truth, and that is why I try to have as many astral experiences, which I think is the only way I can know myself. One can say for certain only when has met GOD and asked questions, before that all are beliefs. in search of truth, mini Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gHari 0 Report post Posted October 19, 2004 Only a dream, and you can write your own theme based on the title. I need more compassion for the fallen before the creativity will come for a blockbuster book. I'm afraid that right now I'm still feeling like they can all just go right to hell.

krsna 3 Report post Posted May 1, 2005 Let me go to hell for zillions of kalpas but let everyone else go back home, back to Godhead. Yes? So Prabhupada is not 'a cool dude'? O yes we need someone who can chuck and jibe. Where to find such a character in our midst? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
