    Hare Krishna Prabhu ji Ok , so you want to be cheeky again :) I am talking about the young devotees who do not fully understand the relationship of Goloka Vrindarvana to the Vaikuntha planets, this has already been explained by @ratikala mataji. But I tried to explain it again Because @axlyz...

    Question regarding ISKCON...

    Hare Krishna Prabhu Ji This is why I say that I would not like to judge all Advaitins by the same rule, I am sure you are correct not all Advaitins understands Advaita in the same way, just the same not all Gaudiyas understand the true depth of meaning in their tradition. From what you say...

    Question regarding ISKCON...

    Hare Krishna Prabhu Ji Would I be too far wrong to guess that these are the young an inexperienced Devotees ? I have met this attitude in some youngsters when they go out distributing books. Ultimatly we are worshiping Shree Krishna in his various lila most commonly for a Viasnava, in the...

    Question regarding ISKCON...

    Namaste No not at all, you forget that the mentality of embodied souls is constanty changing In Satyayuga everyone was pure minded by nature, here in this Kaliyuga we are quarelsome and self posessed, because of this we need different traditions due to our different natures and moods. Axlyz...

    Question regarding ISKCON...

    Hare Krishna Ash Ji I dont know ? is it semantics or is there a difference between Fall Down and forgetfullness ? Prehaps depends on the Missuse ? Why do some regain their memory of Sri Krishna and others remain forgetful ? Why do some cry for Krishna , and how many truely know what this...

    Question regarding ISKCON...

    Hare Krishna Prabhu ji I can only give you my understanding on this (based on what we have been taught) I cant see any reason that devotees from each sampradaya could or should not attain liberation by following their own acharyas. It would be preposterous to assume otherwise? The message...

    Question regarding ISKCON...

    Hare Krishna Prabhu Ji @axlyz 1) Does ISKCON believe that Krishna is not the incarnation of Vishnu? I agree completely with the above with @Acintya_Ash and @ratikala Sri Krishna is the supreme from which all Avatara appear, this makes Vishnu Purusha-Avatara of Krishna. 2) Does ISKCON...

    My experience in Vrindavan

    Welcome Nayana Hari Bol ! So nice. I so am glad for you. Is it the first time you visited Vrindarvana ? Is your family from Gaudiya Math or from ISKCON ? I dont realy worry too much about the divisions or the petty arguments, that is just a stupid human trait it happens everywhere so...

    My experience in Vrindavan

    Namaste Iam sorry I do not understand the relevance of this to a post on Vrindavana ? To a Vaisnava this Bhakti you seem to scoff at is a spontaniously occuring symptom of love. It seems that you care more for Dialetics than you do for God ? Prehaps I do not understand your jokes ...

    Religions in Human Evolution

    Namaste On one level it is possible to say that there is some sort of evolution of the species, and this we can observe through science and archeology. But there is also evolution on a very differnt level this has nothing to do with genes, so there are two things hapening here one is the...

    Religions in Human Evolution

    Namaste The way I see it is that because our conditions are allways changing we need differnt answers to the different problems that we are facing. These problems that we experience are due to our living under the Illusury power of Maya so we are constantly forgetful of our relationship to...

    My tulsi plant fell and pot broke

    Namaste please may I politely ask do all Shiva devotees keep Tulsi Devi at home like Krsna devotees ? I only ask because we allways say Tulsi Devi is beloved of Krishna and we allways offer one leaf with food or water, but I think you do not offer bhoga in the same way that we do so prehaps...

    My tulsi plant fell and pot broke

    Namaste I am so glad you only broke the pot , may be Tulsi Devi was crying out to you '' please water me lovingly everyday, just a little drop '' if you have three please please give one to your freind. I am sure giving one away and allowing another person to love and serve her will attone...

    I need some advice.

    Namaste Sorry if I sounded hard on you but you did ask, and I have been through the same myself, the big descision do I plan my spiritual life around my material life or visa versa ? I chose the latter. it becomes a matter of Faith If Krishna wants his devotee to survive, Dont worry he will...

    can a swaminarayan devotee please tell me the sugnificance

    Namaste I think this may have been the point of the OP ? Do we realy realise what we are doing? Are we bringing too much of our secular life into our worship ? and are we doing it in too much of a flipant way ? I know for certain some ISKCON temples came under heavy criticism for dressing...

    can a swaminarayan devotee please tell me the sugnificance

    Namaste So yes this was a very large land island, and do not forget so many times the seas have risen in more recent history, so it was probably much bigger originaly. Dwarka lays submerged and so many other ancient places Mahabalipuram, and how much more that we still have not found ?
