quick question: how does the old lady who ask lord vishnu to put her load back on her weak back fit into third verse of siksastaka of unalloyed devotional service [not to judge a book by the cover] ?

and on fifth verse: how do we chant HK, in what mood [candravali says: i am krishna's and radharani: krishna is mine],

Subject: Congress may Stop Organic Gardening, without your help
To:

Dear Krishna Lunch friends and supporters,

Please read the information below with great seriousness, as it
affects the health and wellness of all of us. The worlds' natural food
supply is now being threatened by the corporate food giant Monsanto
who have managed to patent the rights on various seed production with
their genetically modified versions. This threat is being carried
further to the extent that literally ALL organic farms in the U.S.
will be threatened with closure. Read on below email content which was
forwarded to us by one of our friends.
For questions/comments or to unsubscribe from the Krishna Lunch
newsletter please email us at krishnagator@gmail.com.
Sincerely yours,
Your friends at Krishna Lunch

***************************************************************************************************************************************************************

Please tell everyone who wants organic foods.....
US House and Senate are about (in a week and a half) to vote on
bill that will OUTLAW ORGANIC FARMING (bill HR 875). There is an
enormous rush to get this into law within the next 2 weeks before
people realize what is happening.
Main backer and lobbyist is Monsanto – chemical and genetic
engineering giant corporation (and Cargill, ADM, and about 35 other
related agri-giants). This bill will require organic farms to use
specific fertilizers and poisonous insect sprays dictated by the newly
formed agency to "make sure there is no danger to the public food
supply". This will include backyard gardens that grow food only for a
family and not for sales.
If this passes then NO more heirloom clean seeds but only Monsanto
genetically altered seeds that are now showing up with unexpected
diseases in humans.
There is a video on the subject.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=epXNJNjYBvw&feature=related
And another one:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eeWVkTU1s1E
The name on this outrageous food plan is: Food Safety
Modernization Act of 2009 (bill HR 875). THIS IS REAL, FOLKS! PASS
THISALONG TO ALL CONCERNED ON YOUR MAILING LISTS & CALL YOUR SENATE
REPRESENTETIVES TODAY! Get on that phone and burn up the wires. Get
anyone else you can to do the same thing. The House and Senate WILL
pass this if they are not massively threatened with loss of their
position.... They only fear your voice and your vote. The best thing
to do is go to www.house.gov/writerep all you have to do is put in
your zip and it will give you your congressperson and how to get in
touch with them. When you call their office someone will answer the
phone, just tell them (politely) that you are calling to express your
views on HR 875. Tell them your views, they'll take your name and
address and pass your comments along to the congressperson.
The following link is a list of the U.S. senators and their contact info:
http://www.senate.gov/general/contact_information/senators_cfm.cfm
(readless)
Another point is that this is merely the first stage to push this
through in other parts of the world, which is already happening. So
places like India and China will be next. Then the population of the
world will not be able to acquire nutritious food
to maintain themselves or their health. Of course, it is all a
design to cause disease and death to increase throughout society. And
if we do not become aware of the plan, then we will not be able to do
anything about it.

...more and more blog confesions spring from the inbox ocean, where all devoties feel like sharks [gliding with ease].
small fishes still get confused in their incoming correspondence about how in vedic [or any high] culture women are to be deeply respected and yet not to be trusted [all my mothers i love you dearly !], and how shridhar swami coments on lust in b.gita as something to be terminated [killed] and srila prabhupada in his comentaries rather turnes [transformes] it to love.
same difference ?
well, only few idiosyncrasies of any conditioned soul should't make me go into all this character reference and unhealthy assesments. not many people can say "i don't know" and many are therefore breaking the principles.
shall i continue or mind my own business ?
how about both. sp: our men/woman should be independently thoughtful, not bureaucratic.

disappearance day of one's teacher is time when we reflect on our commitments and hopefully realize how our memories and reflections on the mercy we recived are entirely incomplete, regardless of how much we share. we can only pray to be accepted, so our limited efforts are not futile.
as a fierce fighter hh bhakti tirtha maharaja had both: clearity of thought and intensity of emotion towards his teachers...
fully inextasycated [politicly much more corect than "intoxicated"] with love for "even" rocks, lord's earthly manifestation as giriraja govardhana. his holiness is still bloom, as we speak...

so far it has been few encounters with these texas creatures, not as poisonous as mexican ones [that kill on the spot]. indoor encounters are always less pleasant, especially few hours before you are ready to take rest at night.

what i recently expiriance is a painfull bite of another kind, when i realized that all my art work from the times of studing art and art conservation has been lost. the story goes 10 yrs back when i was leaving croatia, leaving my entire portfolio in the house of a friend of mine. big format drawings and paintings, small format drawing studies, ink sketches, renaissance reproductions, comics etc. it's a big blow, especialy if you were planing to plug in on your local art scene.
solace one: if circumstances doesn't brake you they may make you stronger if they don't criple you. regardless of what the odds are it is a liberating expiriance after all.
like a real monks that spend wast amounts of time in mandala and zen garden forms, but all gets swept away with few strokes of broom/rake/time.
solace two: words of gita [too many to mention],
and something i red many times, but now could become the intro for a coming graphic novel about lock and load era, not at all religious one:

We must know the present need of human society. And what is that need? Human society is no longer bounded by geographical limits to particular countries or communities. Human society is broader than in the Middle Ages, and the world tendency is toward one state or one human society. The ideals of spiritual communism, according to Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam, are based more or less on the oneness of the entire human society, nay, of the entire energy of living beings. The need is felt by great thinkers to make this a successful ideology. Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam will fill this need in human society. It begins, therefore, with the aphorism of Vedānta philosophy janmādy asya yataḥ [SB 1.1.1] to establish the ideal of a common cause.

Human society, at the present moment, is not in the darkness of oblivion. It has made rapid progress in the field of material comforts, education and economic development throughout the entire world. But there is a pinprick somewhere in the social body at large, and therefore there are large-scale quarrels, even over less important issues. There is need of a clue as to how humanity can become one in peace, friendship and prosperity with a common cause. Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam will fill this need, for it is a cultural presentation for the respiritualization of the entire human society.

there are many placebo attempts that cheapen our most intimate desires to feel genuinely contempt.
this is not one of them.
inside out.

and if you look closer you will find at the base of their lordships radha damodar engraved: radha-ji and krishna-ji. "where is that blue boy gone" hint is however in one other corner.

while preaching we been shooting ourself in the foot for a while, oblivious of people's needs, cought up in dilema of manic street preachers vs biohazard [bad sanga]
on harinam: pople remark less or not at all with: "...get a job" one, since everyone strugless. ironicly, krishna has leveled the ground, so people can get a real and most important job: take care of our wellbeing.
extreme makeover.
in the western world image is everything and muti-milion dolar corporate face-lifts are part of daily life, where change is in ongoing flux.
drive a change, before you have to.
it is a job that will take you from being embarasinng polution fiasko to green busness leader.
this image surgery requires a lot of commitment...
today when consumers attention is migrating to social-networking sites, online news and info, virtual communities etc. that is proven more than ever before, demanding more one-on-one, personal approach.
you will find out more truth on blogs than anywhere else. let the community do the talking, don't flood them with your logos and promos. it's less and less about propaganda and more and more what works for all in long term.
however, this shift in power dynamics is not effecting our commercial objectives that are ever present and seen in microsites [that is more efficient way of comunicating them].

"...We are not Salvationists, we do not want to just give assistance and love only to those of our same faith. We don’t want to be that pseudo spiritualist who just wants to facilitate their own kind. We want to be active agents for global consciousness raising. I love you all and will find even more ways to show it after I leave this body." [hhbts in his last letter]

...
Supreme Court Justice William O. Douglas attributes this story to his preacher father's experiences in Washington State:

"In 1904, when we lived in Cleveland (Washington State), it was a lively
village of a hundred or more inhabitants. There was a church and school, a
post office, stores, and several boarding houses. A half-dozen miles to
the south was a small settlement appropriately called Dot. Three miles to
the east was the town of Bickleton. Father had the pastorate at each of
these three places, riding to preach in each at least once a week, and
preaching in two churches every Sunday, a physically arduous routine.

Bickleton is still a small, thriving trading center for farmers. Dot today
is hardly identifiable. In those days it had only a church, a simple
one-room building where father held a Thursday night service for people
from the outlying ranches. His first service at Dot was disappointing, as
only one man appeared. Father waited awhile but no one else showed up, so
he opened the service with a prayer and a hymn. Then addressing the lone
man in the audience, he said, " Since there are only two of us present, I
wonder if I should continue the service or wait another week until word of
my arrival gets around." The man arose and said, "Reverend Douglas, I'm
not a preacher, only a cowboy. All I know is this: if I had forty horses
and a load of hay and went out to feed them and could find only one horse,
I don't think I'd let that one horse go hungry."

Father got the message and settled down to an hour-long sermon. When the
service was over and he shook hands with the lone member of the audience at
the front door, he asked, "How did it go?" The man replied, "Reverend
Douglas, as I said, I'm only a cowboy. But if I had forty horses to feed
and went out looking for them with a load of hay and found only one horse,
I don't think I'd give the whole load to that one horse."

i mean everything else. there, you have to depend on krishna fully and is such a clear space while you are trying to serve others who have forgoten. there is nothing in there for you but to remember how the whole world is one big familly.

while on the way to denver on the suny day there was a google maps expiriance we had from the airplane with countless fields over kansas as far as eye can see. level of amazement ? ...almost like swimming back in croatia at the beach across my parents house, where you are totaly relaxed, not touching the ground with close to zero gravity.

here on the warped tour in kali yuga kirtans/concerts where devoties/under amnesia are barking at each other i can see why krishna is so blissed out: he has served by many in most uncomon ways. as we get them a book like a tranquilizer and the tool to rewire their pained heads/hearts. let it shine.

penn-mex connection finaly revealed: cca 50 cows from gn were sent to mexico some time back. few of them are still around [just like in gn retirement center] in about hour away from MC. socondly, in mid 70's hh vishujana did swing by with RD bus while the rest of the fleet was waiting in tihujana. so it happened that i picked same corner of the ashrama as their lordships did long time back. it is indeed nice to feel that connection and their divine presence so far from the holy soil of GN. seems like bus program made them allpervading, that they are.
there is more:
the deities here were instaled by hh satsvarupa goswami. sri sri radha madan gopal look very mexican.
etimologicaly, just like harrisburg is govardhana [literaly the hill of hari]
mexico in native kavatl language means moon's navel / belly. now, as we know krishna is the prince of moon dinasty and early in his life he gets bound by his belly what gives us another meaning of mexico = damodara lila.
too streched? maybe.

Abodes don't take you anywhere

The message of Godhead is always like nectar to the devotees, but it is
just the opposite to the nondevotees. Sugar candy is always sweet to a healthy man, but it tastes very bitter to persons suffering from jaundice.

status quo, manifestation of brahma from garbhodakasayi vishnu
SB 3.8.19
Lord Brahmä, thus contemplating, entered the water through the channel of the stem of the lotus. But in spite of entering the stem and going nearer to the navel of Viñëu, he could not trace out the root.
PURPORT
By dint of one's personal endeavor one may go nearer to the Lord, but without the Lord's mercy one cannot reach the ultimate point. Such understanding of the Lord is possible only by devotional service, as confirmed in Bhagavad-gétä (18.55): bhaktyä mäm abhijänäti yävän yaç cäsmi tattvataù.
SB 3.8.20
O Vidura, while searching in that way about his existence, Brahmä reached his ultimate time, which is the eternal wheel in the hand of Viñëu and which generates fear in the mind of the living entity like the fear of death.
SB 3.8.21
Thereafter, being unable to achieve the desired destination, he retired from such searching and came back again to the top of the lotus. Thus, controlling all objectives, he concentrated his mind on the Supreme Lord.
PURPORT
Samädhi involves concentrating the mind upon the supreme cause of all, even if one is unaware of whether His actual nature is personal, impersonal or localized. Concentration of the mind on the Supreme is certainly a form of devotional service. To cease from personal sense endeavors and to concentrate on the supreme cause is a sign of self-surrender, and when self-surrender is present, that is a sure sign of devotional service. Each and every living entity needs to engage in devotional service to the Lord if he wishes to understand the ultimate cause of his existence.

yamala arjuna trees offer prayers after they got delivered by sri damodara
SB 10.10.33
O Lord, whose glories are covered by Your own energy, You are the Supreme Personality of Godhead. You are Saìkarñaëa, the origin of creation, and You are Väsudeva, the origin of the caturvyüha. Because You are everything and are therefore the Supreme Brahman, we simply offer our respectful obeisances unto You.
PURPORT
Instead of trying to understand Krishna in detail, it is better to offer our respectful obeisances unto Him, for He is the origin of everything and He is everything. Because we are covered by the material modes of nature, He is very difficult for us to understand unless He reveals Himself to us. Therefore it is better for us to acknowledge that He is everything and offer obeisances unto His lotus feet.

the zen of book distribution,
Its Mad to be different

"Zen" in particular, is regularly accused of being a form of madness. If you believe that people who think differently are mad, then its true that Zen Budist s are total nutcases. However all Buddhists are peaceful folk who want nothing but good for their fellow humans. The way they express their beliefs may seem odd , but in a world that countenances slaughter, famine, poverty and disease, you would be justified in wondering who are the mad ones. Zen seeks to liberate us from the shackles of thought that enslave us.
To do that it uses some highly original and unconventional means. our usual way of thinking is a deeply ingrained habit and it takes some serious shock tactics to help break us free"

karma and beyond

2007-09-14T22:20:00.000-04:00

This is the problem. So, once again I say the fault rests not so much with the technology but with the consciousness that uses the technology. Since no one knows the basis of consciousness, therefore whatever technology humanity produces brilliantly misses the goal of life. Because we insist on such a narrow focus for science, we render as obscure a wide range of subjective experiences—namely, our own consciousness. This dogmatic adherence to materialistic principles of science and technology has crippled scientific research and impoverished our understanding of nature as a living whole.

mother teresa

Not surprisingly, Mother Teresa’s letters are red meat for the media; and atheists like Christopher Hitchens could not resist ridiculing her dark night of the soul. “She was no more exempt from the realization that religion is a human fabrication than any other person,” Hitchens told Time. “Her attempted cure was more and more professions of faith [which] could only have deepened the pit that she had dug for herself.” Hitchens even compared her to the old communists who realized their lives were meaningless after the Soviet Union collapsed. What rubbish!
So what do the letters of Mother Teresa reveal? For one, they reveal the true cost of discipleship. To follow Christ is to embrace suffering and the Cross. And, at times, to say with Jesus, “My God, my God, why did you abandon me?”

I used to sit in the back and listen to his meetings silently. He was speaking all impersonal nonsense, and I kept my silence. Then one day he asked if I would like to speak, and I spoke about Krishna consciousness. I challenged that he was speaking manufactured philosophy and all nonsense from Sankaracarya. He tried to back out and said he was not speaking, Sankaracarya was speaking. I said, "You are representing him. That is the same thing." He then said to me, "Swamiji, I like you very much, but you cannot speak here." But although our philosophies differed and he would not let me speak, he was kind, and I was nice to him.

"All glories, all glories to the all-blissful holy name of Sri Krishna, which causes the devotee to give up all conventional religious duties, meditation and worship. When somehow or other uttered even once by a living entity, the holy name awards him liberation. The holy name of Krishna is the highest nectar. It is my very life and my only treasure."

there we will need master mind subversions so our KC gets beyond that flea market or clowno fare level and again rediscover it’s beauty in simplicity. my first impresion is that both farm and city are organic in their growth and infinite mutations. it's rather the question of our taste/mode preference. hk

sugar cane extractor

hare krishna

This photograph of a man behind his sugarcane juice
extractor was taken on the Vrndavana parikrama marg during Kartika last year.
There is a Sanskrit Maxim: iksurasanyayah.
"You cannot extract the juice out of sugarcane without first
crushing it. So to obtain a particular result, one in certain
cases may have to to assume a severe, stern, and unyielding attitude."
Does spiritual life at times feel as if one is processed through a sugarcane - juice extractor?
Blessed are the flexible, for they shall not be bent out of shape.
Faith is the ability to not panic.

Growing old is inevitable, growing up is optional.
There is no key to happiness. The door is always open and remember:
we don't stop laughing becouse we grow old, it's the other way around: we grow old becouse we stop laughing.
well, It's all right to sit on your pity pot every now and again, Just be
sure to flush when you are done.
The goals and dreams you're seeking require courage and risk-taking.
Learn from the turtle; it only makes progress when it sticks out its neck.
