Guest guest Report post Posted December 2, 2005 Same here friend. We actually dont disagree on anything. I have called this world the lab work for the science that the professor Prabhupada has given. There is so much diversion here, but Srila Prabhupada never taught us to just sit in class and understand in theory. We go into the world to test this science, and in doing so, we see so much, but with a different perspective, by the divine grace of Srila Prabhupada. Then we practically apply this science, and actually see for ourselves that is works, that hard hearts are softened just by the holy name alone. We see perversion turned to minor deviance, then neutrality. We never have an empty cup, srila prabhupada does not recommend false renunciation, rather he give us the purifier, Harinam, and the garbage is replaced, diluted, until all the garbage is only a memory, then no memory even. So, we keep the AS IT IS Standard, and the science proves correct in the lab. This is what is so nectarian about being in the world, yet trying to inject this science on behalf of Srila Prabhupada whereever possible, however much is taken, this is enlivening for the preacher trying to be true to the AS IT IS standard. Thanks again for your kindness, hare Krsna, your servant in cooperation, mahaksadasa Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
krsna 3 Report post Posted December 2, 2005 (Filed: 02/12/2005) Ten US Marines have been killed by an insurgent bomb explosion in one of the worst single attacks to hit American troops in Iraq. Over 2,100 American troops have been killed since the war began The marines were on foot patrol outside the city of Fallujah, when they were caught in the blast of an "improvised explosive device" made from several large artillery shells. Another 11 marines were wounded but seven of them have been able to return to duty. In a statement, the Marine Corps said that the men were from Regimental Combat Team 8, of the 2nd Marine Division. It added that marines from the same unit "continue to conduct counterinsurgency operations throughout Fallujah and surrounding areas". Fallujah had been an insurgent stronghold until American forces stormed the city in November 2004. Since then the American military and the Iraqi government have been rebuilding the city in preparation for the national elections, which are due to take place on Dec 15. The attack comes one day after President George W Bush announced that he would settle for nothing less than "complete victory" in Iraq. He did, however, indicate that some US troops will be pulled out next year. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
