Krsna versus Lord Ramachandra!

PAMHO AGTSP

 When I was watching  Brghu Patis Prabhus lecture on ISKCON LA webtv, he discussed the attachment to Lord Ramachandra versus to Lord Krsna. The point is this Lord Caitanya even showed His form of Krsna to Murari Gupta ,who is the incarnation of Hanuman. So though Murari Gupta knows the glories of Krsna and Lord Caitanya as is very clear from his Caitanya Caritra.His mood is eternal service to Lord Ramachandra this is his Sthiya bhava his nitya svarupa, in the pastimes of…

Respecting your elders but do call 911

One elderly gentleman from South Korea is taking interest in Bhagavad Gita as it is and in ISKCON, due to my facebook page.I have encouraged him to take this knowledge serious and try to kindly  learn this knowledge and help spread it to his countrymen.    One thought that came to mind was about how Koreans respect their elders: In Tae kwondo I learned the 10 commandments of this ancient martial art:   1.  Be loyal to your country. 2.  Be a good son or daughter to your parents. 3.  Be…

"All glories to some of the devotees " versus "All glories to the Assembled Devotees "

PAMHO
