Maj 0 Report post Posted September 8, 2005 Added: Sep 8, 2005 A Bride for Jagannatha by Sasir Das By Sumita Sheth Book Review ...He tells us of the corrupt system on which the entire city is balanced; the virgin temple dancers must sell their bodies to the learned pundits in order to attain decent shelter and enough food; the system of patronage is in place to keep the status-quo in place; the poor are good but often duped because of their faith; there is peace but lurking behind it is the violence that all power-play engenders. In the end, the greatest victims are the hapless dancers whose world begins to fall apart with modern changes, leaving them with nothing to hold onto, and barely their belief in Jagannatha, their God Read more on: http://a108.net/news/index.htm Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

After giving initiation to his disciple, nitya-lila-pravia parivrajakacarya-varya, Prabhupada Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Saraswati Goswami Thakur, the founder-acharya of the worldwide Sri Brahma Madhva Gaudiya Saraswata Sampradaya, he gave him two significant instructions that strike me as quite astonishing.

Maj 0 Report post Posted September 12, 2005 Added: Sep 12, 2005 A Tribute to Radha's Sweet Love for Beloved Krishna Tunisha Mehrotra How can one achieve love-communion with God? This yearning - often compared to that of a pining lover - has poured forth in poetry and song, myth and fable. Among them is the story of Radha's yearning for Krishna. With madhura bhakti or sweet devotion, Radharani achieved atmasamyogam or union with the Divine. When we call Him Radhakrishna, we acknowledge this love-union. http://a108.net/news/index.htm Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Maj 0 Report post Posted September 16, 2005 Added: Sep 16, 2005 Authenticity of Srila Bhakti Siddhanta Saraswati’s teaching By Srila B.V. Tripurari Swami Special guest sanga There is no record of Srila Bhakti Siddhanta Sarasvati ever going to Vrindavan before he started Gaudiya Math, nor did he ever tell anyone that his was initiated in a dream. He has related the story of his initiation in writing. The story is well known. Why would he then tell someone else he received it in a dream? We do not accept the above account as anything more than hearsay. Also, the burden of proof lies with the accuser, not us. Hearsay is not proof. http://a108.net/news/index.htm Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Maj 0 Report post Posted October 16, 2005 Added: Oct 17, 2005 Pure devotion and competitive spirit By Srila Bhakti Bibudha Bodhayan Swami Special guest article If we study the example set by all our previous acharyas, we will find that competition is not a religious principle. Nowadays, however, we see that in the Vaishnava Sampradayas, especially the Sri Brahma Madhva Gaudiya Saraswata Sampradaya, almost every society and acharya is trying to show that they are better than the others. That is one reason explaining all those articles on the Internet that seem to have defeating others as their only purpose.

Maj 0 Report post Posted October 26, 2005 Added: Oct 26, 2005 Guru and Shishya By Srila Bhakti Bibudha Bodhayan Swami Special guest article The meaning of the word, “guru» (spiritual master), is very grave. If the word is analyzed it’s only two parts «gu» and «ru» are obtained. Here «gu» signifies «darkness» and «ru» means «light». It simply indicates that he who is able to save forever illusioned persons from the clutches of darkened maya (illusion) and is able to make them reach the sun or light-like God will be considered to be described as a «guru».
