Yes,Haribol, Krpamoya Prabhu; Pamho. AGTSP. T; As you say, prabhu, it is not good that we too few devotees should be fighting . There is so much important work to be done. We must be mutually respectful. Still, a very great issue is there. > K; > I didn't know that HH Puri Goswami Maharaja had left > behind a ritvik system. How will that work, exactly? T; This info I have gotten second-hand from more than one source. Are you aware of the conversation between SP and PM in '77, in which PM says to SP; they will never accept it (referring to the rtivik arrangements left for us.) SP said; that it is up to Krsna! Now PM has shown what he thinks is Krsna's order! Mind you, it is not to PM that we must look, only to SP. He is quoted below and the message seems clear to me. > >K; I wrote on my website about my understanding of how the > Ramanuja followers do their diksha. Strangely enough, its > not quite ritvik, yet not quite how many in ISKCON currently > understand diksha. Personally, I t

Our vision is of eternal blissful devotee-filled cultural centers, temples of Srila Prabhupada, filled with his loving disciples. Those who want to leave this safe and blissful shelter, and are fully qualified and ordered by Krsna, let them leave the father temple and start new ones of their own in succession, like apples falling from the tree. But there should always be the faithful preaching servants and disciples of Srila Prabhupada, in the very temples which he built for this very purpose. If we follow Srila Prabhupada's instructions, there will always be his disciples, otherwise, how can he have ordered that only HIS DISCIPLES are to be the temple presidents and board members in all his temples, in perpetuity ? Isn't this also what PRABHUPADA HIMSELF ACTUALLY DID? He left Gaudiya Maths! He never tried to "take control of" his Godbrothers, residents etc or any assets in Srila Bhaktisiddhanta's temples for his own purposes or disciples etc.! Others did. The current "others" in our

"The love in my heart, the stone in my hand."

"Ain't got no pistols, ain't got no sword or marching band, all I've got is the love thats in my heart, and the stone that's in my hand." Everlast. How can you know, you who sit in lotus towers? You cannot see, are deaf! Your comfortable life blinds you to the myriad sufferings, daily, on and on. You hear only what you want to believe! But the people are hungry, their skins are sallow and their brains dull from their stomach's emptiness! They have no hope and no futures! They die alone, they suffer together. They fumblingly press in the needle of sweet oblivious escape. They are kept blind and uneducated, a life hardly worth living in the ghettos and enclaves, created and pinned there by your greedy designs and rascism. They are abused and assaulted by you, the fat-cat elite; you such proper politicians and bankers, you who calculatingly maintain mercenary troops to enforce total control over every man's thoughts and resources, who keep the world enslaved in depraved self-righteous p

According to Gaura-Ganodesha-Dipika, Shri Sita Thakurani is Yogamaya. The Gaura-Parshada-Charitvali says that in Krishna Lila, she was Purnamasi, the mother of Sandipani Muni, grandmother of Madhumangal and Nandimukhi and a disciple of Narada Muni. (Gaura-Ganodesha-Dipika, however, says that Paurnamasi in Krishna-lila became Shri Govinda Acharya in Chaitanya lila.) (In the image: Deity of Shrimati Purnamasi, Shri Vrindavan Dham).

Advaita Acharya’s wife was a respectable and noble woman name Sita Thakurani. Taking permission from her husband, she went to Navadwip bearing gifts to see the crown jewel of infants. (Chaitanya Charitamrita 1.13.112)

Shri Sita Thakurani is to be worshiped just as much as Sachi Devi herself, as the mother of the universe. She is the eternal wife of Shri Advaita Acharya. She was the daughter of Shri Nrishinga Ba

Kali Yuga, no surprises

Kali Yuga, no surprises

15) Only at the time of Sri Gurudeva's disappearance can one recognise the actual identity of his disciples. One can then understand who has approached Sri Guru with what intention.

(16) Even after taking shelter of a sad-guru's lotus feet, some disciples secretly strive to occupy the seat of Sri Gurudeva at the time of his disappearance. Their acceptance of the shelter of Sri Guru's feet was merely deceit. They are, in fact, hostile and inimical to guru.

(17) Moreover, some disciples try to misappropriate the opulence and paraphernalia intended for the service of Sri Guru-Gauranga. This is not understood while Sri Gurudeva is still present, but after he has disappeared from this world, it assumes a terrible form. Know these disciples to be hypocrites, enjoyers and offenders.

(18) Even at the time of Sri Gurudeva's manifest presence, some try to control their godbrothers instead of regarding them as worshipable. Thus they become
