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.

Saying “Where are the demons? With ease I shall shorten their lives,” Vijaya calls so…

there are 2 planes of understanding Jambudvipa ,one is these places are on Earth but somehow also have a higher dimensional aspect in Bhu Mandala , I hope this helps clear up the confusion ! Exactly how Kimpurusha Varsa and Harivarsa exist on this higher dimensional stage one need vision of the Demigods and great sages that live in Jana loka ,Tapa loka, and Brahma Loka then one can understand these .it seems only if one get body on these lokas can one understand I am sure Srila Sukadeva…

my prayer to Durga during Navaratri

Lord Sri Krsna asked Arjuna to worship of Durga for the victory of the Pandavas , , Krsna Himself is the master of Durga this was before the battle of Kuruksetra , Lord Caitanya never observed Navaratri so whatever standard is set by Lord Caitanya is the standard if Navaratri was to be performed by Gaudiya vaisnavas it would have been included in Hari Bhakti Vilasa and described how.Siva ratri is there in Hari Bhakti Vilasa as this worship is done…

Understanding Jambudvipa seems so perplex but this all seems just it is just on Earth for me , I can not be worried about exterestial understanding I do not have so to me Jambudvipa is more or less just Earth , or we are to accept there is a floating pancake in space that ex tense far beyond our comprehension ? It makes no sense.So I will not kill myself with the 5 canto description trying to fit it in to my tiny brain ,the structure of the Universe is way to complex to understand , I read…

Srila Prabhupada and his neophyte disciples that sometimes try to be my Guru

I accepted Srila Prabhupada as my Guru in 1977 before

having met any devotees, I for sure will not take shelter of

some neophyte disciples of Srila Prabhupada that claim they are the only way to Srila Prabhupada when they truely are not

"I took initiation from Srila Prabhupada now I am God and can lift Govardhana hill "

Krsna returning after He left the Rasa lila , only if you read Garga Samhita will you know where Krsna went ,anyone of you have read it ?

Shri Narada said: O king, as the gopis wept, lotus-eyed Krishna suddenly appeared, as if to fulfill their desire.

The gopis said: O Krishna, when You left us gopis the whole world became for us as important as a single blade of grass. Now we have again attained out heart's desire at Your feet. While You were gone where did You go? Please tell…

Petition for the sidelong glance of Krishna

A poetic prayer chanted by Lord Siva in the Urdhvamnaya tantra

(Sequel to Radha kripa kataksha stava raja)

I was thinking about Tribuvanath Prabhu yesterday , I disagreed with his immature and manipulative way of management , to me he was in some ways neophyte and offensive, and he was not a bookdistributor for sure, but he was dedicated to Srila Prabhupada and for that I liked him .I recall in Dame street in Dublin , when we where not on traveling sankirtana but distributed books from Dublin he was sitting every night and reading his one Volume CC and fall asleep with reading so he would never…

I purchased this book of Vaiyasaki Prabhu long ago but never got to read it ,it is about Jayananda Prabhu Visnujana Swami and the Radha Damodara sankirtana bus party that used to travel all over USA and distribute Srila Prabhupadas books .Now finally I am reading it and it is historically and devotionally very interesting

Now that Purusottama month is over what is my duty ?

This question was asked ? The same duty is every day to surrender to Lord Sri Krsna as described by Sri Krishna in Bhagavad Gita 18.66 .Our duty and way we surrender to Lord Caitanya is shown in Prema Vilasa when Srila Lokanath das Goswami ordred Srila Narotama das Thakura to chant 64 rounds daily : SRILA LOKANATHA GOSVAMI TO HIS DISCPLE SHRILA NAROTTAMA (both are great Acharyas and followers of Lord Gauranga Mahaprabhu) :

I was having a vivid memory of combing my mothers hair in 1967 ,two years before she died of colon cancer ,life flies so fast and we are each getting closer to death daily , still many of us do not prepare for death by chanting Hare Krsna and remembering Lord Sri Krsna ,Lord Sri Krsna staged His socalled death ,but He went back to Goloka remembering Krsnas disapperance lila helps us also go back to Godhead

Jaya!", and who was also praising Goddess Uma as she was expertly playing the karatalas, the sage…
