when my Gurudeva talked about Lord Narasimha killed demoniac ladies in one of his small books it seems this instance mentioned in Garuda Purana : Chapter 231 of the Garuda purana, where Mahadeva Shiva calls on Lord Narasimhadeva.

(The Matrgana’s mentioned in this story are eight goddesses produced from the bodies of Vishnu, Shiva and six other main deities during the killing of a powerful demon called Andhaka. Their origin is recounted in the Varaha-purana.)

I had a student in Puerto Rico he used to smoke ganja when I first started to teach him,he said but Lord Siva smokes ganja I hope he stopped now ,here Srila Prabhupada states :

"It was fortunate for Satī that Lord Śiva did not take the ornaments from his wife and spend them for gāñjā, because those who imitate Lord Śiva in smoking gāñjā exploit everything from household affairs; they take all of their wives’ property and spend on smoking, intoxication and similar other…

when Bhakti Caru Swami said Sudarshan chakra might kill me !

That was in 1996 ,i had written a long letter to the GBC it was like an Atom bomb that must have blown up a lot of false egoes ,but many GBC regulations where passed based on my complain one of them is in regards to demigod worship in ISKCON ,having Mayavadis speak , Satya Narayana pujas etc .I also warned the GBC that I was sure Harikesa would soon fall down from Bhakti .I did not even care to tell them why ,it would take…

Krsna will not want his exalted devotees to be trees or grass !

we have been told the Raghunath das Goswami had a dream will making Radha and Shyama Kunda bigger that the 5 Pandavas resides on the bank of Shyama Kunda as trees ,this might be fabricated ,because the 5 pandavas appeared in Gaura Lila and Arjuna is non different from Ramananda Raya secondly devotees keep saying Uddhava is still there by Kusuma Sarovara as grass because he wanted to be stepped on by the Gopis, yes but why…

all ISKCON leaders want is money

,

They do not care about you as a person only about money .In 1997 I had come to Washington DC ,with a Brahmacari and we started to distribute many books.What we did differently was we did not want to stay at any ISKCON temple as that would just slow us down and you have to look at the lazy persons that never go on bookdistribution and have so many excuses not to go out and deal with so many fallen persons in a temple .The TP of ISKCON Potomac at…

Being left in the mountains in 1984

In 1984 I decided I had enough selling paintings and candles Lord Narasimha in my heart rebelled that this is rubbish ,and that I should distribute Srila Prabhupadas books only .I faced lots of problem for that "socalled independent " mentality I ended up in ISKCON Austria one day the TP Maharama das was fighting with the Taxidrivers he did not want to pay for the Taxis we had taken from the temple Am Lugegg to the Train station ,here he is supposed…

Jesus Or Barabbas ?

According to Padma Nabha Swami ,Bhakti Caru Swami told Srila Narayana maharaja to stay 100 KM away from ISKCON,was that a way to treat an uttama adhikari and dear friend of Srila Prabhupada ?I have remembered all the good things about HH Bhakti Caru Swami , I do not agree with those of offences of his,and I am making it known publicly now that we have mourned Bhakti Caru Swami who I also had much love and affection for .The offences to Srila Narayana exist still…

To me Aindra Prabhu is the best example of observing Caturmasya strictly ,I know because I saw him observe it i was with him not for full Catumasya but for mostly a month of Kartika or some other times when he observed Catumasya ,during Radhastami or Janamstami .He would mostly take Havisana ,unspiced Kirtri with not even a drop of ghee or oil or salt ,so after we would come from chanting in the temple room all evening and i mean all evening then he cooked the Havisana and offered it to his…

Can a disciple ever excel his Guru in spiritual advancement?

Yes remember when the Buddhists made offences to Lord Caitanya and the students and Guru offered Lord Caitanya contaminated food .Lord Garuda came picked up the plate and dropped it on the head of the Buddhist Guru Lord Caitanya initiated the disciples of that Buddhist Guru and told the disciples to now chant the holy name of Krsna into his ears and wake him back to consciousness thus they became his Guru .That is an unusual…

if you are jealous of another Vaisnava only Lord Caitanya can heal you , Lord Caitanya told Amogha to give up the envy in his heart and then he started chanting 64 rounds daily to clean his envious heart .Why 64 rounds ?Because that was the minimum standard of Lord Caitanya .Jagai and Madhai chanted 128 rounds daily .Srila Jagannath das babaji used to say please complete 128 rounds aday at least do 64 rounds daily !…

Diapperance day of Lord Caitanya is on 29 of June according to our western Calendar

Actually around this time of year Lord Caitanya left this world by entering Lord Jagannath , Tota Gopinath and the Ocean of Puri at 3 places ,it is not celebrated ,as the disappearance days of the Lord is never celebrated those who are very advanced in Bhakti will simply give up their body on such days .We need not worry we are far from such a level of Bhakti and if we where so advanced that separation…

Last time I met Sankirtana Prabhu was in Dubai in 2010 in ISKCON Dubai and we where making some prasadam ,There where some sweet potatoes that had been burned in the oven ,and we wanted to throw them out .I mean there was charcoal on them that badly burned we begged him not to honor this as prasadam .However he would not listen and he had charcoal on his lips eating those sweet potatoes,I told him that actually Lord Krsna states in Haribhakti Vilasa not to offer him burned food and such food…

Lord Caitanya chanting Hare Krsna in the latrin!

Vakresvara Pandit had one disciple a young boy Gopal ,he was engaged in the service of Lord Caitanya , so one day Lord Caitanya playing the role of a human being went to pass stool .Such activities are not there in the Supreme Lord His body is Sac Cid Ananda.SO while Lord Caitanya was using the Toilet ,He chanted Hare Krsna constantly .Lord Caitanya would always chant Hare Krsna he chanted 192 rounds daily as well .So Lord Caitanya…

NEVER AGAIN SWAMI

Never again Swami Navayogendra Swami chastised me on Navadvipa Mandal Parikrama in 2010 , he has never done a full Navadvipa Mandal Parikrama on foot for all those days I had many cuts and had to put on shoes and this dog like rascal comes and chastise me for wearing shoes ? He is also extremely envious of Srila Narayana Maharaja because he knows I took diksa from him so he asked if I was there to steal ISKCON devotees to bring to Narayana Maharaja .That is why I…

The question was raised :

U took initiation from Harikesha Swami.

But what do you mean by reinitiation?

How can it possible?

The answer is Harikesa since i joined ISKCON never ever attended mangal artik and full morning program thus disobeying Srila Prabhupada ,he became more and more independent thinking he is an acarya.He did not chant 64 rounds as an acarya is supposed to do he also was way to much attached to money power and women ,thus he fell down and refused…

 Skanda Purana   states:

matr ha pitr has caiva bhratr ha guru has tatha

ekadasyas tu ya bhunkte visnu-lokac cyuto bhavet

“Those who eat grains on Ekadasi and on the Day of Lord Hari (including Janmastami, Gaura Purnima etc.) obtain the sin equal to killing one’s own mother, own father, own brother and own Guru; and they cannot reach the spiritual world, which is why one should never eat grains on fasting days.”

thus nourishing one another" Gita 3.11

In 1987 in ISKCON Vrindavana Jayadvaita Swami had his first Ista Ghosthi about book changes and I asked him about changes he had done to this sloka :

Hare Krishna,

I been reading Bhajan Rahasya from Sri Narayan Maharaj english version.

on page 201 of the book , I see below paragraph.

Parakīya-rase sadā – The scriptures establish the pre-eminence

of the paramour love (parakīya-rasa ) of Vraja. By serving Śrī Rādhā-

Kṛṣṇa in the mood of wedded love (svakīya), one will attain Goloka

Vṛndāvana, and by serving in paramour love (parakīya), one will

attain Vraja-Vṛndāvana, the absolute…

Lord Sri Krsna has 3 kinds of Tilaka , 1 made of kasturi , musk from the deer , it makes a black line on Krsna forhead, 2 is Gorocana ,gallstones from cows , and 3 kunkuma .It sppears Lord Sri Krsna at times wore tilaka as one line made of Sandalwood. Unfortunatly there is no mention I could find of the Tilaka worn by Lord Caitanya and His associates.Except for Lord Caitanya having tilaka made of chandan sandalwood in Navadvipa.

There is a common misconception that Sri Krsna…
