Hi, has anyone read the hanuman chaalissa a hundred times? Does it really free you from liberation and bondage, or does it just cleanse your mind and help you get there. Also, they are putting the monkeys in India in jails. /images/graemlins/frown.gif They are not killing them since they revere Hanuman. Does anyone else know about this? Thanks /images/graemlins/smile.gif

Hi again, how is everyone? Does anyone know what the picture of the yellow fish in the Bhagavad Gita means? There is a picture of it in the book "Bhagavad Gita as it is." Thanks

Yes I'm a college student, 20 going on 21 in November. He is 19, 20 in December. I met him in the library at school. I'll focus on my studies and my mom. A mother's love is the best. Lord Krishna will take care of the rest but all your advice helped tremendously. You are all devotees of Lord Krishna and I am grateful. You all know a lot about Krsna conscious and I want to learn more. I'll write on other posts. Thank you and Hare Krishna.

Re: "His longings to touch are normal.Most men are like that.Its girls who will suffer and cry in end.If he says He will date other girls that's blackmail.And if a boy has such guts to talk to his lover,then imagine how he will behave after marriage?Are you going to be his slave from now itself?" You are all right. He does treat me badly and I thought his bad temper was his flaw that I had to accept just like how I have flaws. His mom told me one day I'll get smart and walk away. I'm getting smarter. Now this is the problem how does a girl stop suffering and crying? Since I met this guy I've been crying and suffering. I pray to Lord Krishna for it to stop but I still cry and it's affecting my schoolwork. Thank you all so much, you are really helping me. Sorry if I keep bugging you, please tell me if I should stop posting.

Hi, thanks for saying I am level headed and making me feel better. You are all a great group of people and you really care about the post. Sorry if I am bugging you all but you are really helping me. I am very grateful for your advice. Response to "Your dating was a mistake.But its been done.So next option is to see his caste and varna.If both are same ask him to wait till your parents talk to his and dont meet him before marriage.If he belongs to a different caste in the same varna,it gets tough.But this has become normal these days,caste isnt in vedas but only varnas.So within a varna,mixing is vedic.So go ahead.But this isnt ideal and dont let your children make the smae mistake." The boy and I are the same caste. His grandmother on his moms side has the same last name as I do. I can not wait to meet him until marriage because he gives me rides home from school. We go to school together and my mom depends on him to drop me home because she is busy working and I don't drive. My mom likes him and his mom likes me to.(He is 19, I'm 20) The truth is when his mom heard the word marriage she got angry and say you guys aren't even done with school yet. Then there was a little family misunderstanding during the summer and his mom told me she hopes our relationship works and we can get married. The problem is my boyfriend now friend thinks im selfish adn that i don't care about him. We dated for a year and I've been telling him i want to be krsna conscious. He is the one who gave me a better version of the gita by the swami and told me to read it and be a better person. I told him I don't want any physical contact and he says he doesn't see how that makes sense because we already hugged and he wants to take our relationship to the next level, a sexual level. He said he doesn't want to force me to do anything I don't want to do. I told him no. He tells me if I want to be with him, love him, care for him, marry him I should just do it and risk it even though its not guaranteed that we will get married.He says I have doubts and that's why I won't do it. He says if we have no physical contact we are friends and he might date other girls and tell me or not tell me or he might not and ask me to marry him after school ends. He says he is krsna conscious. I don't know if the way I'm deciding to be krsna conscious is selfish and if I am going about the wrong way in something. Then he said "yes you are being selfish, no you're not, you're right, whatever you want, it was always up to you. Call it what you want " (meaning krsna conscious or taking the right path) He's a very good friend and he helped me out a lot with my family, life, school. I think he is viewing me as selfish because he always helps me. He said he helps people and gets blessings. He doesn't mind giving me rides home and he wants to be my friend. What can I do? Thanks again.

Thank you. I have much better self esteem now.

Hi, I think I misinterpreted the Bhagavad -Gita by Swami Prabhupada. I am a 20 year old Hindu girl. Is it wrong to eat chicken? I am not a vegetarian and neither is my family. We abstain from beef and we eat chicken and fish. Is that wrong? My mother said it was not wrong. Also, I am trying to be krsna conscious. I am confused about dating. I dated a hindu boy in college. After reading the Gita I got the impression that dating was wrong and I feel like a fallen woman and that I will never be able to get married. I read a passage in the Gita. I don't know if I am interpreting it wrong or if I am being selfish or confused. Sorry and thank you for reading my post. I can't ask my mom these questions because she is busy working and she says I bug her. She wants me to know what to do beacuse she raised me right but I am confused. Thank you again, I would appreciate some advice.

Hi, I am new to the chat. I am 20 year old college student in Florida. What is Lord Krishna's/Hinduism's view on dating and relationships between a boy and a girl. I am Hindu and I read the Bhagavad Gita as it is by Swami Prabhupada. I think the Gita and swamis say girls should not date and wait to get married. My parents said don't do anything you shouldn't do until marriage. What does a girl do if she has already dated and didn't know before but knows now? I was dating a Hindu boy in college and we want to get married after college. I recently told him I am confused and I don't know if I should date him because after reading the Gita, It said girls should wait until marriage. Both of our parents knew we were dating, we never had sex. I know we are living in the Kali age. Thank you for reading my post. I would appreciate the advice. My e-mail is gita1234@indiadivine.com
