Scary. > Must be something primevial, affacted by the hormones. > :-) > > ys Prisni dasi In a proper Vedic home, the toilet would have been outside the dwelling. In the study of Feng shui, it is recommended that if one does have a toilet indoors, it is best to keep it covered as other wise the positive chi that is desirable to accumulate indoors drains down the toilet. >From that perspective, and acknowledging that women have a stronger propensity for nesting, and for keeping a nice home, then the need to have the toilet seat down is a simply a type of common sense that is more easily recognised by the women. So men, if your life doesn't seem to be going as well as you think it could be, seriously consider keeping the toilet seat down for a while and see if it makes a difference. (yes, I know, that is a "material" concept, but so is turning on the heat when it gets cold outside.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you want a philosophical discussion, then I will talk philosophy. You called Kirtananada a demon on the basis he didn't follow religious principles. I ask a question about the premise, and your answer is I don't understand English? Instead of philosophy you hurl an implied accusation against me. Where is the sastra in that? I use a statue of a Christian saint as a lawn ornament and you wonder when I will remove it? What do you suggest I replace it with? A flamingo? What was the name of the demon who in Krsna book was invoked, and when he wasn't able to accomplish the purpose he was invoked for, turned back on the invoker? I would be careful about calling someone a demon. That sort of invocation can be dangerous to your own spiritual health. Incidentally, if you wish to go ad hominem against me, there are much more fruitful avenues then my choice of lawn ornamentation. For instance, Kirtanananda frequently used my lack of attendance at mangala arotik to denigrate me. That was quite effective amongst his followers. If you would be interested in others, just ask, and I can point you in many more directions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is really an impressive argument in this discussion. For those of us who have been trying to follow it, it is not so obvious that Madhava Gosh's texts have been nonsense and yours have been absolute unbiased truth. Actually, you seem so agitated that it is hard to keep up with what you are talking about. > It is not my fault you are so attached to that rascal Kirtananda.

It is good that you are at the level where you are above material considerations such as personal feelings and sensitivity while dealing with others. And it is good that you prove to be the authorized judge of Kirtanananda and Harikesa, since you obviously are the one who knows all sides of the story.

What is now called technology, or science, used to be called Magic. All three terms basically mean "know-how." What used to be accomplished elegantly (with mantra and ritual) on the more subtle levels by qualified people in Vedic times is now done (comparatively) ineptly by unqualified people with the grosser implements of modern technology. Both systems (magic and modern science) work, but due to the influence of Kali-yuga, people are both less inclined to accept the unreliable results of magic, which depend on the will of the demigods and other higher beings, and less patient with the process, what to speak of developing the purity required of the practioner. The reason I quit practicing magic was because it was not a total solution to my problems, but it did get the job done as far as fulfilling some material desires. It was fun. It's not more spirtiual, just more subtle. The fact that Prsni Prabhu's sex got changed by a knife instead of a mantra doesn't really matter much, it's just less exciting. I think I can speak for Madhusudani Prabhu as well in saying to Prisni, "Welcome to the club!" Ys, Tulasi-priya dasi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I was little my mother and step-father fought about such an issue, mainly because my sister and I (ages three and four) would get up in the middle of the night to pass without turning on the bathroom light. We'd fall in and get stuck and start screaming for help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is his way of "discussing important philosophical points". Just as he was uncalled for to pick-up up on the "deviant" Malati dd and on the "demon" Kirtanananda, so was he uncalled for to play his low-class cheap theatre of not knowing my name so he could create an opportunity for himself to point on my "other one guru that blooped". Nasty, nasty. And then he plays the odd show of someone who is in the "middle of very busy time" (got no time for nonsense talk "a'la Madhava Gosh and other members"), and he lets us kindly know how he is disgusted with the quality of the current discussions - "Prabhupada would scream at the quality...". Yes, perhaps he would... but he does not read Vyapaka dasa's "discussions of important philosophical points", luckily. mnd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that a gentleman's voice? Reading your text I see nothing even remotly making me think about Varnasrama, so I think it pretty much qualifies as off topic.

So here we go again, starting to speak heavy words about others without knowing them, the circumstances, and without them even beeing present. I don't think is is very nice to read about such things, and I cannot see what it has to do with varnasrama. So in short, it is off topic. Please refrain from this kind of speech in the future. It would also be nice if those devotees who send texts from the internet could sign with their devotee name, so we know who you are. your servant Prisni dasi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
