comments on Aindra Prabhus book

dear Devotees

PAMHO

AGTSP

Many devotees may have read parts of Aindra Prabhus book or the whole book.Yes Ragamarg is the goal of our bhakti and even bookdistribution is not as much a goal as this is,this is the point he is making.However there is no ragamarg for most, why is that? They simply do not have the qualifikations of unselfish devotional service.Unselfish devotional service is developed by distributing Srila Prabhupadas books because this is one of the most essential…

"Saffron Banks are illegal"

Payonidhi Das Das ‎55. Wearing a two pisa string a man is called a brahmin. Wearing a saffron cloth he has become a sannyasi.56. The householders beg from sannyasis, and why not? The sannyasis have tens of millions of rupees in the bank.57. As the days pass, the influence of Kali-yuga increases and the poor are crying in distress.

One thing that has has to be said in praise of Harikesa (despite his many later deviations) is he trained us in the mood of Srila Prabhupada.That mood is to distribute

Srila Prabhupadas books,Did he show by example? Never ever , he would not even go on one Harinama also, or attend full morning program.Yesterday a former godbrother was finding faults with Srila Prabhupada how could Srila Prabhupada be so cruel and not leave any proper Guru.Well at least we where taught… Continue
