Sri Krishna Sankirtan

/

 
In the response to “Invisible Hare Krishnas” and “Publicly Representing ISKCON”, I’d like to comment. It is true, that Harinam has taken a back seat, we see it all around different ISKCON communities, but the wonderful thing is that we have the ability to go out there and do harinam. There is nothing stopping us but our minds.
 
There may be politics, controllers, sentimentalist, fanatics, “fringies”, innocent, enthusiastic or confused members among us in this Sankirtan Movement…and that includes all of us to some degree, but the amazing thing is…we can pick up the mrdangas and karatalas and sing the names of God in the streets, just like Lord Caitanya wants us to. We just have to want to do it.
 
My husband and I and a dear devotee friend of ours, we go out on harinam in a small town in New Zealand. The response is lovely. People smile, do a little dance, we do a few books, have a laugh and feel joyful afterwards. We are going to start a small chanting group soon… if we can do it, anyone can!

  There are many jealous people in the dress of Vaishnavas in this Krishna consciousness movement, and they should be completely neglected. There is no need to serve a jealous person who is in the dress of a Vaishnava. When Narottama dasa Thakura says chadiya vaisnava seva nistara peyeche keba, he is indicating an actual … Read more

    GIGANTIC INDUSTRIAL enterprises are products of a godless civilization, and they cause the destruction of the noble aims of human life.

Consciousness – A Non Material Reality

/

 
In his book “the scalpel and the soul” Dr Allen Hamilton, a Harvard trained brain surgeon for 30 years says the following “Theres a technique used on a handful of awkward cases. They put the patient on a heart pump and then cool down the blood. The heart flutters and stops, there is no blood flow to the brain and no electrical activity. Now you can operate on a significant blood vessel while no blood is flowing through it. Once the procedure is finished and you realise you are within the twenty minutes time limit, everyone breathes a sigh of relief. Then the team gets ready to slowly warm the patient up”.
 
“Sometimes we find some banter amongst the staff. One nurse said she was getting engaged, they had gone to this particular restaurant, they had gotten a ring at a particular store, ect. When the patient woke up she reported the entire conversation, while her heart was stopped, while her brain had no activity, she somehow remembered that conversation and that is scientifically impossible. If the brain is essentially dead, how can it make a memory? A case like that really shakes you up, you,re getting very close to the holy grail. Is this what we mean by a soul? Is this what we mean by an entity that can exist seperate from the physical body and the brain?”.

Apologies and Rectification

/

“The GBC Letter You Will Never Read” is a wonderfully truthful article, except for the “Ritvik” put down, because basically all ISKCON guru’s are initiating on behalf of Srila Prabhupada, unless they have the original Zonal Acarya mentality of “now worship me!”, as was the case just after Srila Prabhupada disappeared. This was the mentality … Read more

God and Gods

/

 
The Vedic scriptures say, “There are many worshipable gods but only one supreme God, whom we refer to primarily by the name Krishna, which means the all-attractive one. The one who has beauty, wealth, strength and knowledge 100%. All others are either incarnations of His original form, demigods or demigoddesses.
 
Demigods do not have the same power as God but are beings that are more advanced than us humans. Although they resemble us, they possess far greater intelligence, beauty, mystic power and in some cases, many arms and heads. Thus we are naturally subordinate to them, and can worship them as empowered representatives of God.
 
In Greek mythology we find various gods, such as the god of water or the god of the thunderbolt. In accordance with Vedic culture, we don’t see them as imaginary persons, but rather as departmental heads in the material world.

Nuclear Fallout

/

  The atomic energy works wholly on total combustibility, and so the brahmastra also acts. It creates an intolerable heat similar to atomic radiation, but the difference is that the atomic bomb is a gross type of nuclear weapon, whereas the brahmastra is a subtle type of weapon produced by chanting hymns. (SB 1.7.27 PP). … Read more
