HARI BOLE!! I was talking to a person who tells me about this person Bhagwan Swaminarayan who he considers to be GOD ...not an incarnation. He was telling me that most of these Swaminarayan do not like most iskcon devotees ..I have no heard about this person till now..can someone tell me who this person was? And why these groups of people do not like most of us devotees?

thank you -=] hari bole:)

Thats just wonderful! Hare bole!

Hariiiiii bole! I am just wondering what should I do when I bring my Gaura-Nitai deities at home? Is there a specific prayer I have to say in order to place them in my new altar? Or should I just place them on the altar and begin my prayers? Any advice would be greatly appreciated . Thank you.

Thank you very much I really appreciate your replies. I will try to read more about Gaura-Nitai and learn as much as possible. hari bole!

I know it says that you shouldn't take the tulsi off but I know some devotees who change their neckbeads sometimes and what if the bead breaks and you need to replace it? Would it still be offensive?

I know some devotees have their altar in their rooms but can a women have that also? I mean she has that time of the month and I do find that unclean? I don't really know but thank you for letting me know about the stove, I feel relieved

Hari bole I wanted to know if you take the tulasi neckbead off your neck and then put it back on is that an offence? I Know you should always keep it on but what if you took it out when going to shower then ended up putting it back on is that ok? what should that person do afterwards when putting it back on? Thank you :]

Hari bole Thank you so much for posting that converstaion I find it very very interesting and helpful.I appreciate you all take time to read and respond to my questions. I wanted to know a few things more ...If I do get a murti of Gauri-Nitai and I have to cook little vegetarian dishes for them is it ok to cook it in the same stove as my parents? Because the same stove is where they cook meat...?I know I will have to have seperate cookware but just let me know what to do before I get the murtis.And one more question I have is..where is a good place to have this altar in my home, because my apartment is very small? Thank you

Thank you all for your replies i'm going to get a nice place for my krsna and radha -=] Hari bole

oh ..well i knew his reply was not the answer I was looking for.

Dear friend, Yes I would love to know the meaning of that sweet description of the lord. Thank you . -padma

Thank you for the replies. Your right its probably just my temple. I do hope to see matajis in the future doing lectures and kirtans that would be wonderful. Thank you Hari bole!

Hari boleeeee friends! I have been wondering since i've been attending temple..I haven't seen any women devotees singing I have only seen prabhus. Why is that? Is it always been like that or is it just my temple? And another thing I wanted to know is howcome there are only men gurus and brahmans>? Whats the highest position a women can be in krsna consciousness ? I dont mean to offend anyone ..please dont feel like I am ..I am just curious and I just want to know a little more. Thank you very much. -Padma

Oh ok i thought it was another reason.Good to know thought thank you. Hari bole -Padma
