The number of heads of Brahma is proportional to the size of universe

* CC Madhya 21.84: "Kṛṣṇa said, 'Your particular universe has a diameter of four billion miles; therefore it is the smallest of all the universes. Consequently you have only four heads.

* CC Madhya 21.85: "'Some of the universes are one billion yojanas in diameter, some one trillion, some ten trillion and some one hundred trillion yojanas. Thus they are almost unlimited in area.

Manasika Vraja Mandal Parikrama

today the actual parikrama of Vraja Mandal would have started ,some Vraja Mandal Parikramas start with all of Mahura first and some even omit Mathura ,from my understanding and knowledge from Caitanya Caritamrta, Lord Caitanya started bathing at all 24 Ghats of Yamuna at Visrama Ghat in Mathura and from there went to the many holy places in Mathura and then He proceeded to the rest of Vraja .Visrama Ghat is a very ancient holy place in Satya…

Basu Ghosh das and his love for pedophile devotees

One thing that angers me is Basu Ghosh never thinks Tattva Darshan his beloved Godbrother did anything wrong ?Why is he so blind ,He also told me how much he love and respect Bhavananda that had sex with children in Mayapure in the 70th and 80th and lots homosex while a GBC ,Guru and sannyasi .

Harikesa never said a bad word about his old friend Bhavananda also ,that really angered me what an idiot he was

Will we serve Sri or stri?

Sri refers to Sri Laxmidevi but really to Srimati Radharani She is the source of all Laxmis The Brahma gayatri mantra will excite us to be mindful about Srimati Radharani's lotus feet, to obey her orders."

"Radha-dasyam, the service of Srimati Radharani, is the ultimate meaning to be extracted from the Brahma gayatri mantra."

The Mantra

Haribhakti Vilasa about not having sex with a cow !

my student Miniketana Rama das wrote me :

PSS: Dear Prabhu please read all this my messages as it is very important for me, i want to say, i think Hari Bhakti Vilasa and other Shastras about restrictions have a lot of texts only for non-devotee hindus who do not follow Sanatana-dharm but follow only dogmas of Hinduism as a religion as a fanatics, for example this text from 11 Vilasa, i can not found in english so i…

Sri Gautama Buddhas life came to my memory today, such remembrance comes from Sri Krsna , he was sheltered from seeing anyone getting sick and dying even getting old , his father even moved people away from the capital so Prince Siddharta did not see any suffering .But eventually he found out .He never liked to see anyone suffer ,get sick and die.He was truely compassionate to all .One king started war with kingdom of the Sakhya that was in Nothern India part Nepal and Lord Buddha came…

Sad news Yasomatinandana Prabhu was a very nice disciple of Srila Prabhupada I have not met Prabhu since 2008 or 2009 though I stayed in touch with him on facebook .We last met at ISKCON Boston and this one devotee showed us the first temple in ISKCON Boston on Beacon street, we went to see Commonwealth pier and offer our obaisences to Srila Prabhupada ,because this is where Srila Prabhupada first arrived and touched ground in USA ,I recall Yasomati Nandana Prabhu was going to New York and…

Glorifications of Tulasi Devi

From the Sristikanda of the Padma Purana

Kartikeya inquired: "My dear father (Lord Shiva) which tree or plant is capable of giving love of God?"

Lord Shiva replied: "My dear son, of all trees and plants Tulasi Devi is the topmost; She is all auspicious, the fulfiller of all desires, completely pure, most dear to Lord Krishna and the topmost devotee.

Long ago, Lord Krishna for the welfare of all conditioned souls brought Vrindadevi in her form…

Dreams of Srila Prabhupada

I had a dream of Srila Prabhupada around 2005 I was starting to really chant 64 rounds daily and taking it more serious for years Srila Narayana Maharaja had urged me to chant 64 rounds daily even at my reinitiation in 1998 ,but I was struggeling to fullfill his order, one day I had chanted 64 rounds nicely ,I was praying others in ISKCON could also understand the importance.I had a dream of Srila Prabhupada that was so crystal clear that it was not just a…

Daily someone ask me Prabhu where are you from here is my answer !

When you ask a Vaisnava what country he is from the answer is Earth.What is his cast and family ? Acyuta-gotra the family of Lord Krsna

Different gotras, or family designations, are distinctions in terms of the material body, but when one comes to Kṛṣṇa consciousness he immediately becomes one of the Acyuta-gotra, or descendants of the Supreme Personality of Godhead, and thus becomes transcendental to all…

Buy me a tiffin !

It was 1996 , I was in Mayapure for Srila Prabhupada cential and Lord Caitanyas Gaura Purnima festival .I will say I was barely surviving in ISKCON .

Devamrta Swami came up to me and asked me to buy him a tiffin .Now if I had lots of Laxmi or enough Laxmi even I may had considered it but that time I did not lots of Laxmi on me or with me ,I borrowed even some Laxmi from my friend Jada Bharat Prabhu untill I came back to ISKCON Soho street temple London . Now you…

hell hath no fury like a woman scorned !

When a woman thinks she is beautiful and a man rejects her she becomes furious .In the case of Arjuna , he was approached by the most beautiful of all women Urvasi .She is Sri Urvasi and worthy of all respects .First of all she was manifested directly from Sri Nara Narayana Rsi ,when Indra and Cupid had tried seduce the Supreme Lord .in Treta Yuga she helped establish a glorious Temple for Sri Sri Varaha Narasimha in Simhacalam as I have…

You are to spaced out ?NO they are spaced out !

This is another way you get attacked in ISKCON .ISKCON leaders will tell you this when they want you to marry some nonsense woman .Or two they will say this when they want to bring you under control or want you to collect money illegally for them .

Devamrta Swami used this tactic a lot accusing devotees they where spaced out ,I recall he told a mataji from Finland you are so fat and obnoxious you should be married on a farm to a ugly…

Do you need to obtain your Gayatri mantras from Niranjana Swami ?

I got Brahminical initiated in 1981 and learned the Gayatri mantras well as everyone .When I was in ISKCON Germany in 1982 and 1983 I had to learn to chant my Gayatri mantras even faster because the German devotees where into efficiency and I recall when I traveled with Krsna Karnamrta das (the German Harikesa disciple )you had 15 minutes to shower and dress brush your teeth and take shower and pass stool.1 minute to chant…

You are to fired up!

As I am chanting today I remembered a statement by Devamrta later to become Swami .He told me in 1981-82 you are to fired up .How can anyone be to fired up in Krsna consciouness? We can only try harder and harder ? What it means was he was feeling guilty that I was going out day after day and distributing Srila Prabhupadas books but he was doing nothing but stay in the temple playing the big Isvara.Another time he said you are the King of the Walking street in…

" Dhenukasura Vaisnava "

The Dhenukasura vaisnava is a fake Vaisnava he thinks love of Krsna should not be spread because only I should taste the fruits of love of Godhead there is not enough for all.But that is miserly and a demoniac miscalculation ,there is not enough for all .Lord Caitanya has ordered to spread love of Godhead following the Pancatattva that freely distributed love for Krsna to everyone .Dhenukasura asses where servants of Kamsa and was thinking the fruits here in…

in Vraja Vilasa Srila Raghunath das Goswami has glorified Krsnas nurse Ambika and her son Vijaya

18

Frightened that delicate Krsna may be hurt by the demons, Ambika performed severe austerities for many days to please the goddess Durga, who granted her a boon that her son Vijaya would become a powerful hero able to kill many demons. May Ambika, Lord Krsna’s nurse, protect us.
