na caitad vidmah kataran no gariyo yad va jayema yadi va no jayeyuh yan eva hatva na jijivisamas te ’vasthitah pramukhe dhartarastrah

Translation

Nor do we know which is better—conquering them or being conquered by them. If we killed the sons of Dhritarashtra, we should not care to live. Yet they are now standing before us on the battlefield.…

gurun ahatva hi mahanubhavan sreyo bhoktum bhaiksyam apiha loke hatvartha-kamams tu gurun ihaiva bhunjiya bhogan rudhira-pradigdhan

Translation

It would be better to live in this world by begging than to live at the cost of the lives of great souls who are my teachers. Even though desiring worldly gain, they are superiors. If they are killed, everything we enjoy will be tainted…

PAMHO AGTSP   Some few devotees think they can join ISKCON with their musical instruments , harmonicas and trumpets and hippy drums etc, I left my electric Guitar when I joined ISKCON. Gaudiya vaisnavas play mrdanga ,kartals and harmonium.These other things have no place in a Kirtana , this is not 1966, hippy time.Leave the funny hippy hats and other hippy stuff at home and finally join ISKCON.We are not hippies......so next time you see these things kindly…

In ISKCON ,Srila Narayana Maharaja has been misunderstood so much, he was a very exalted and highly advanced vaisnava.He spend most of his life in Vraja and taught exalted things also,as the mood of Vraja  for a paramahamsa devotee, brings out such things .I can not get into the crazy accusations made against him ,but Sri Radha will not even allow my tongue to speak out at this point about these deviations as they are so ignorant and offensive. I will simply post one of…

This year I spend my Rasa Purnima taking darshan of Gandharvika Giridhari, in Sweden.They where dressed in moonlight color that befits the occasion of Radha Krsnas Rasa lila.

  They where installed in  the summer of 1980,the day before my initiation and I was the first devotee to get initiated in front of them.The day before,I went into a small lake and picked some neck roses,that very much look like lotusflowers.I asked they be placed at Their lotusfeet the next…

Radhika Ramana Swami asked me  a few month back why I was  once banned from ISKCON Vrindavan in 1992 , it is very simple dirty politics.ISKCON is always full of dirty and neophyte politics, illlicit sex and deviations from Srila Prabhupadas pure standards,it has been like that since I joined in 1979.There has always been lazy and power and money hungry selfish individuals, this goes on to this day.

An old story , but I will set the record straight once and for all.A…
