There must be Kīrtana with Prasādam Distribution (01/08/12)
There must be Kīrtana with Prasādam Distribution (01/08/12) Dear _____ Mahārāja, Please remember about what i said about there must be a kīrtana before we distribute the prasādam. Otherwise it is like 'food distribution'. Pics look nice. Mahā-prasādam ki jaya!!! Gaura Haribol, Swami Narasingha
Better to Believe in God (01/09/12)
Better to Believe in God (01/09/12) Daṇḍavats _________, I always try to remember that the Bhāgavatam is not subject to the same 'time and space' reality that makes up our world. Many things are possible in transcendence. By the will of Kṛṣṇa a round ball can cast a square shadow or a trianglular shadow. Even if the Bhāgavatam were only a composition of fairy Read more...
Do Not Drive at Night! (01/28/12)
Do Not Drive at Night! (01/28/12) Yes, it sounds like a good plan but DO NOT drive at night. Always start early in the morning and stop at a hotel by dark. Driving in the dark (night) is very dangerous. Taking such a road trip is very serious and should be done with all maturity. It is not a game or a joke.... be Read more...
Class is Very Important (02/05/12)
Class is Very Important (02/05/12) The thing is this, that without M_____ we can not have any classes translated into Spanish and therefore nobody is learning anything...only chanting, taking prasādam and doing some service. Class is very important. I was hoping that M_____ would be here for the whole month of February until Gaura Pūrṇimā in March. So please convey this to him that Read more...
‘Isolationist’ Means to Stop Your Spiritual Progress (02/08/12)
‘Isolationist' Means to Stop Your Spiritual Progress (02/08/12) Dear ______ Mahārāja, Nice report but two things not good. One that S____ is more inclined to ____ Mahārāja's explanation of the origin of the jīva rather than the explanation given by Śrīla Śrīdhara Mahārāja and our previous ācāryas. Pursue this point with S______ and if he sticks with _____ Swami's explanation, then I see little Read more...
The Mountain of Anādi (02/08/12)
The Mountain of Anādi (02/08/12) Whatever turns out with S_____… so be it, but one cannot be a member of our mission and maintain contradictory views to those of Śrīla Śrīdhara Mahārāja. This instance has raised my fire and I want to put together a definitive article on anādi (anadivāda). First I want to compile the article by Śrīla Śrīdhara Mahārāja in the same Read more...
The Biggest Idiots on the Planet (02/25/12)
The Biggest Idiots on the Planet (02/25/12) Dear J______, Thanks for the link. Dawkins isn't very intelligent, but he is fun to listen to. He is sort of like a standup comedian in philosophical circles. But I definitely prefer listening to Dawkins more than Christian preachers. Those guys have to be the biggest idiots on the planet.
Continue to Write Kṛṣṇa Conscious Articles (02/26/12)
Continue to Write Kṛṣṇa Conscious Articles (02/26/12) Dear A_______, Thank you for your update report. ______ Mahārāja has also sent me a report on the preaching and activities at Govindajī Gardens and everything sounds very encouraging. I have always liked your articles and I hope you will continue to write more and more in the future. The world is full of newspapers, magazines and Read more...
