2 questions about chanting 64 rounds daily

PAMHO

AGTSP

One devotee send me 2 questions without identifying himself, but non the less they are good questions and deserves an answer:

Q. 1: ¨If Srila Prabhupada did not himself chant 64 rounds, then why

did he ask that of his students, in the begining?¨

¨...Of all the regulative principles, the spiritual master’s order to

chant at least sixteen rounds is most essential.¨ - Cc 2.22.113

PAMHO

May every Salagrama Sila give you a slap

Dear Balabhadra das

PAMHO

AGTSP

I find your attitude of "you know it all" ,rather digusting considering you had sex with your female disciples and beat up on the male ones.

Yes if you would get one good slap from every Salagrama Sila by Them their Lordships it would be good.Your stealing money collected by your former disciples ,this is Kali chela mentality, and you will pay it back in your next life or every life you have to live due to your many offences.

You think…

Mother Govinda is a very dear servant of Srila Prabhupada and took care of Srila Prabhupada a lot in the early days of ISKCON and she has stated

Srila Prabhupada never took grains on Janmastami:

Govinda Dasi This is very informative. Yes, it is true that Srila Prabhupada would not even take a drink of water on Janmastami, of Gour Purnima, and I would sometimes worry about him as he seemed very weak and had to rest. But he neither ate nor drank anything. So… Continue

PAMHO

AGTSP

Today I was thinking when I once more read about the wedding of Vasudeva

and Devaki ,what Narada Muni was doing since later he told Kamsa

Krsna was born in Gokula, obviously Narada Muni played a big role

in Kamsas agressions and sending demons to attack Krishna:

So there is this vers

Lord Balarama appeared 8 days before Lord Krsna, actually Krsna simultanously appeared to Nanda Maharaja and Vasudeva, in Srimad Bhagavatam we however read

how Vasudeva brought Krishna to Gokula and exchanged Krsna with the daughter of Yasoda.

First of all I like to mention when you go to the Janma Sthan in Mathura this is not the actual location but very close by is pracin Mandir, this is accepted by all Gaudiya vaisnavas to be

the actual place, that is… Continue
