hare krishna

I like your poem very very much. Have fun on your trip!

 

Hare Krishna!

Dear ChiefCowPie and SvgGrdnBeauty,

Thank you for the wonderful photographs and for another gem of an example of ChiefCowPie's insight.

That is undoubtedly a Pipal tree leaf. In Sanskrit and Bengali it is known as Ashwattha tree.

There is mention of this tree in the Gita(Bibhuti yoga, chapter -10, shloka-26) where Lord Krishna says, "Amongst the trees I am the Ashwattha."

You can take the mature leaves from this tree and put them in water for about fifteen days. After that if you remove them and gently rub the surfaces then all the green parts will come out leaving only the veins. Then let them dry up - it will be ready for any painting job.

Dear BlackBillBlake,

That's a beautiful poem, thank you. I have a vague idea and do not exactly know what 'Earth Spirit' is. Wish,you enjoy all the moments. If you can not keep in touch I will greatly miss you.

MISSING PERSON FOUND

To whom it may concern. This naughty boy, has been found hiding, in the inner most chamber of the HEARTS OF ALL. Not wanting to be revealed to those who are envious, He hid behind a thick curtain of illusion. But when He heard the bell, of His devotee, ringing, and smelled the fresh aroma of Tulasi leaves, and saw that the offering of flowers , fruits and water, were saturated with simple affection and love, OUT HE CAME.

Such a rascal........He had us all worried to death.

 

Hare Krishna!

Dear SavingGardenBeauty,

That is wonderful! Thanks to Shreshtha Dasa and you.

All glory to the naughty little Lord, it is nice to see you slowly, subtly and surely getting drowned in Divine thoughts over Him.

"Atlanta"
​

One of the nice things about traveling with the Radha Damodara traveling sankirtan party was that whenever Srila Prabhupada was in America we would go to see him. One of the memorable times was in Atlanta on and around Sri Bhaktisidhanta Sarasvati's appearance day. Srila Prabhupada praised the devotees when he first came to the temple for starting the temple without his help and doing it so nicely. On Bhaktisidhanta's ap. day Srila Prabhupada spoke with great emotion. The love he had for his guru maharaja was evident to all of us.
One devotee asked Srila Prabhupada what pleased him the most and Srila Prabhupada responded that "if you develope your love for Krishna that will please me the most". All of the devotees enjoyed that answer.
WE, the RDTSP, all got to go see Srila Prabhupada in his room. We were introduced one by one until all 80+ -were in. Srila Prabhupada told us that if we remain brahmacharies we would go back to Godhead but if we got married it would be reduced to a 50% chance. I think 90% of us got married.
Since it is Bhaktisidhanta's festival today I thought I would contribute this story. All glories to our glorious sampradaya of great spiritual masters. Bhaktisidhanta is a great jewel, a ray of Vishnu. He is an example that we can all look up to and gain some inspiration.​

you got to love Krishna's sense of humor, because the cosmic laughs wipe away all doubts, and you realize that you were never really gone, you were always here and now.

 

oh yeah! Very nice said. Finally! Laughter is sacred. Check out all those people in the morning subway or bus. They need some laughter, which puts them to their knees. I feel that we've met before Ganja Prince. rn't u LookingFromSomewheredistant ? Lol.

 

Some humour from my dear friend Prtha Devi Dasi (http://www.geocities.com/priitaa108/humor.htm )...she also brought me to that Missing Person thing above…

Sherlock Holmes and Watson were on a camping trip. They were lying in bed, looking up at the sky. Holmes said, "Watson, what do you see?"

"Well, I see thousands of stars."

"And what does that mean to you?"

"I suppose, Holmes, it means that of all the planets and suns and moons in the universe, that we are truly the one most blessed with the reason to deduce theorems to make our way in this world of criminal enterprises and blind greed. It means that we are truly small in the eyes of God but struggle each day to be worthy of the senses and spirit we have been blessed with. And, I suppose, at the very least, in the meteorological sense, it means that it is most likely that we will have another nice day tomorrow. What does it mean to you, Holmes?"

"To me, Watson, it means someone has stolen our tent."

Good luck matching them with the corresponding questions

Little Susie was running late as she rushed to get dressed for Sunday school at the temple.

She whispered a prayer, "My dear Lord Krishna, please don't let me be late for Sunday school today." She finally got dressed and began the brisk walk to the church.

She tripped and fell rumpling her dress, got up and was on her way. Then stumbled on the back-track and skinned her knee. She jumped up hurrying on her way. Just before reaching the temple, she tumbled over a stick and scraped her elbow. She reach the temple's Sunday school on time.

As she climbed the steps, she remembered to give a prayer of thanks. "My dear Lord Krishna, thank you for getting me to Sunday school on time,

................ but You didn't have to push me."

A passenger in a taxi tapped the driver on the shoulder to ask him something. The driver screamed, lost control of the cab, nearly hit a bus, drove up over the curb, and stopped just inches from a large plate glass window.

For a few moments everything was silent in the cab, then the driver said, "please, don't ever do that again. You scared the daylights out of me."

The passenger, who was also frightened, apologized and said he didn't realize that a tap on the shoulder could frighten him so much.

The driver next replied, "I'm sorry, it's really not your fault at all Today is my first day driving a cab. I have been driving a hearse for the last 25 years!

* Only in America......do we use answering machines to screen calls and then have call waiting so we won't miss a call from someone we didn't want to talk to in the first place.

* Only in America......do we use the word 'politics' to describe the process so well: Poli' in Latin meaning 'many' and 'tics' meaning 'bloodsucking creatures'.

Where God Ain't"

He was just a little boy, on a week's first day.
He was wandering home from Sunday School, and dawdling on the way.
He scuffed his shoes into the grass; he found a caterpillar.
He found a fluffy milkweed pod, and blew out all the "filler."
A bird's nest in a tree overhead, so wisely placed on high.
Was just another wonder that caught his eager eye.
A neighbor watched his zig zag course, and hailed him from the lawn;
Asked him where he'd been that day and what was going on.
"I've been to Bible School," he said and turned a piece of sod.
He picked up a wiggly worm replying, "I've learned a lot of God."
"M'm very fine way," the neighbor said, "for a boy to spend his time."
"If you'll tell me where God is, I'll give you a brand new dime."
Quick as a flash the answer came! Nor were his accents faint.
"I'll give you a dollar, Mister, if you can tell me where God ain't."


This is what is meant by becoming the dog of the Spiritual Master... and the dog of Krsna.

A sick man turned to his doctor as he was preparing to leave the
examination room and said, "Doctor, I am afraid to die. Tell me what
lies on the other side."
Very quietly, the doctor said, "I don't know."
"You don't know? You, a Christian man, do not know what is on the other side?"
The doctor was holding the handle of the door; on the other side came a sound of scratching and whining, and as he opened the door, a dog sprang into the room and leaped on him with an eager show of gladness.
Turning to the patient, the doctor said, "Did you notice my dog?
He's never been in this room before. He didn't know what was inside.
He knew nothing except that his master was here, and when the door
opened, he sprang in without fear.
I know little of what is on the other side of death, but I do know one
thing..... I know my Master is there and that is enough."

Q: Why don't yogis vacuum in the corners?
A: Because they have no attachments. ~ Albert Einstein


A married couple had two little boys, ages 8 and 10, who were excessively mischievous. They were always getting into trouble. Their parents knew that if any mischief occurred in their village, their sons were probably involved.

The boys' mother heard that a pundit in town had been successful in disciplining children, so she asked if he would speak with her sons. The pundit agreed, but asked to see them separately. So, the mother sent her eight-year-old first, in the morning.

The pundit, a huge man with a booming voice, sat the boy down and asked him sternly, "Where is God?" The boy's mouth dropped open, but he made no response. So the pundit repeated the question in an even sterner tone, "Where is God!!?" Again the wide-eyed boy made no attempt to answer. The pundit raised his voice and bellowed, "WHERE IS GOD!?" The boy screamed and bolted from the room, ran directly home and dove into a closet, slamming the door behind him.

When his older brother found him hiding, he asked, "What happened?" The younger brother, gasping for breath, replied, "We are in BIG trouble this time, dude. God is missing, and they think WE did it!"

When Lord Rama wanted to test Sita for her chastity, he told Laksmana to build the funeral pyre. Laksmana did not like this at all, but Rama insisted. He was, after all, the older brother. So Laksmana said, "Oh, alright! But I will never appear as your younger brother again!" (hehe) And He didn't. His next appearance was as Lord Balarama, the OLDER brother of Lord Krishna.

 

yeah, it's me, got this new account when the forums switched.

Dear GanjaPrince,


Welcome to this thread. I am, like SleepingJiva, so happy to have you here. Yes, we waited eagerly so long for you. We would most appreciate to have your valuable views in the coming pages. We would love to share the 'ananda' from your realization of the Satchidananda.

However, I would like to frankly and sincerely tell you that I am bit depressed with your new name. I am afraid it does not suit you at all. I am sorry, please do not misunderstand me.

Dear ChiefCowpie,


Thank you for your comments. Yes, it sounds quite good.
It is always nice to hear anything from you. It always makes me feel good that you are around. Thakur used to often say that when somebody causes 'Bhav' in you, it is to be understood that God is in him in a special way(In consciousness).

Dear SleepingJiva,


It was a day for me to go back to the first page when you had initiated this epic-thread.


It was wonderful reading all over again to some extent(Just a few pages) and what a wonderful feeling it was! So many of us got into this thread giving us everything..... sentiments, child-like squabbles, innocent quarrels, towering knowledge and introspections, child's innocence, healthy jokes.......everything.........but it all lead to one thing only..... that is the words of love. We all countered but we all said, in some way or other, we love Him.

It was a blissful nostalgia.
