Krishnamacharyulu and Sri Ramanujacarya!

this first part is from Wikipedia :

Krishnamacharyulu's curse

Sri Kantha Krishnamacharyulu was a poet and musician who composed sankeertanas in praise of Varaha Narasimha.[17] As Narasimha danced listening to those songs, Krishnamacharyulu began showing offensive attitude towards others with arrogance.[17] When Ramanuja visited Simhachalam later, Krishnamacharyulu did not treat him properly. Ramanuja wanted to know whether Vishnu…

question raised 11 years ago :

Nityananda Gauranga Hare Krishna! First I will just raise the issue before we can discuss further.

A very big question in the Ramayana is why Lord Rama would banish Sita Devi to the forest just like that? People do not understand these matters in the Uttara Khanda because they treat it like some mundane love story and cannot fathom some deeper truths in the Lord’s actions.

For this reason, editions of Ramayana other than Valmiki Ramayana do…

I would only believe in a God who could dance

One of the biggest Atheists was Friedrich Nietzsche he said - “I would only believe in a God who could dance."

Sri Ramachandra Kavacha !

1.Aajanu bahum aravindalayathaksham,

Aajanma shuddha rasa hasa mukha prasadam,

Shyamam graheeths sara chapa mudhara roopam,

Ramam sa ramamabhiramamanusmarami.

I think about Rama who is every second pretty,

Who has hands reaching up to his thighs , who has lotus like eyes,

Who is pure all his life, who has a smiling face ,

Who is black , who holds bow and arrow and has a generous form.

Asya Sri Rama…

Sri Govinda Ghosh — Disappearance

Sri Govinda Ghosh, an intimate associate of Lord Caitanya, was known for his sweet kirtans at the annual Jagannatha Puri Ratha- yatra festival. Lord Caitanya would at once begin to dance whenever Govinda Ghosh would sing. Govinda Ghosh and his brothers Vasudeva and Madhava are eternal associates of Lord Caitanya and Lord Nityananda Prabhu.

He made his home in Agradvipa, Vasudeva in Tamluk, and Madhava Ghosh in Dain Hat. Govinda Ghosh Thakur’s…

Preaching in ISKCON AArhus, Denmark 1987

I recall in 1987 when I was alone in Denmark preaching for 6 month or more , I was running this one temple and preaching center by myself ,means I was the only person there, and however on Sundays Hadai Odja Prabhu and his wife drove almost 2 hours to come and help me have a sunday feast at the little preaching center ,sometimes there was still 40 -50 people and I did not have energy to make a big feast every sunday.SO he and his good wife did , I…

Arjuna is know as Jishnu ,one who never fights dirty in war ,only once in his life did he break Ksatriya codes on Krsnas direct order ! 

Krsna told Arjuna to kill Karna while his wheel was stuck normally kstariyas in Vedic times would not kill an unarmed man untill he got armed and the fighting was mostly fair.But Krsna to avenge Abhimanyu told Arjuna to kill Karna, there is no wrong in this killing because Krsna is God and His order is absolute ! We should honor Krsna and…

Not sure how many of you have ever read the Guru business, Sulocana Prabhu exposed homosexual and pedophile ISKCON Gurus in 2 cases and many many other things he was opposed to Srila Prabhupadas position being diminished in ISKCON over nonsense and abusive neophyte zonal acaryas ,he helped bring down the empire of Zonal Gurus ,especially when he was murdered on Narasimha Caturdasi 1986 ,Kirtananda, Devamrta and Radhanath Swamis though this would be a good day to have Sulocana Prabhu killed ,…

The next printing should be again to the original way

Yasoda-nandana : Sometimes they appeal that "We can make better English," so they change like that, just like in the case of Isopanisad. There are over a hundred changes. So where is the need? Your words are sufficient. The potency is there.... When they change, it is something else. Svarupa Damodara: That's actually a very dangerous mentality. Yasoda-nandana : What is it going to be in five years? It's going to be a different…

7th Canto of Garga Samhita

Yesterday Miniketana Rama finished translating 7canto of Garga Samhita from Russian into English so here it is :

Note Kusakratha Prabhu choose not to publish this Canto it seems because the version of Srimad Bhagavatam and Garga Samhita are very different when it comes to the Rajasurya Sacrifice .However Garga Muni was a liberated soul and his Garga Samhita are without flaws and apasiddhantas so I am presenting it here fully , later I will publish all…

Narasimha astra !

Garga Samhita canto 7 chapter 3 to 5 mentiones Sisupala fighting against Lord Krsnas son Padyumna, of course He is not only Krsnas son but the incarnaton of Lord Krsnas Caturvuyha expansion Lord Pradyumna ,who is also the transcendental Kamadeva and worshipped as mentioned in Srimad Bhagavatam 5 canto chapter 18-19..You might have read the pastimes in Krsna book and Srimad Bhagavatam about Praydumna so Lord Pradyumna ended up fighting Sisupala (who is an incarnation of…

Narasimha Astra :

Miniketana Rama send me this but failed to mention where in Garga Samhita this is from , but it supports what I stated that the Narasimha astra is the incarnation of Lord Narasimha :

Dear Gurudeva another part of tranlsation I am working now, how from Narasimhastra Lord Nrsimha appeared, as You said before, also other divine Astra descriptions!!

And then a fierce battle began between Shakuni and Pradyumna. When Shakuni used Rauravastra, created by Maya Danava,…
