Guest guest Posted December 29, 2003 Report Share Posted December 29, 2003 Dear Gopal Prabhu, Please accept my humble obeisances. _/\o_ All glories to Srila Prabhupada! All glories to your service to Mother Ekadasi! I am experiencing exactly the same with my Mother Vishnupriya. She stops everything she is 'doing' when she sees me. She bows down her head, because she knows that I always scratch her behind her horns, where she likes it. All kinds of Devotees from ISKCON Mayapur ask me if I can supply them with Milk because Vishnupriya's milk has become famous for being the tastiest and creamiest milk around. They offer me all kinds of high prices to be able to get her milk. Because her calf is big now and my 14-year-old sons are also mad after her Milk, I have to decline. We are only selling 2 liters now, out of which one liter is going to Srila Prabhupada's Granddaughter Gauri Mataji, who is breast-feeding her little 5-month-old daughter Jamunangi. Hoping this will meet you in the very best of health by the grace of Krishna.

Guest guest Posted December 29, 2003 Report Share Posted December 29, 2003 [This message was in HTML format] I do feel the need to address Ekabudd's misinterpretation of letter............ >I do feel the need to address d_4h's suggestion that one pray for the failure If you read again Eka, outside your desired perception you will see that you cut out part of a sentence in order to come to this wrong interpretation...... I spoke of; and posted a letter from Prabhupada in which he explained the cause of failier, I said to ignore it was sick and promised failier, and ( this is the part you cut out...) AND IF NOT IMMEDIATLY IDENTIFIED... then I would pray for it....... ( Identified has a significant meaning.... ) IF you didn't identify that your venture idea ( cow factory) as being a failing project, like so many before you ... then I would pray for your IDENTIFICATION of it...... is that better..? You can't just cut things out and glue others together and get the true meaning... I will try to remember to write in a more simple, explanitory format in the future.... The Demons that would have fights with Krsna are not your usual souls... so forget the comparison. I'm also not your god brother..... Love D- from the dark side ?? >of a godbrother or sisters endeavors. I do note that he asks that "we see >the ideal and not any offense", which I greatly appreciate. I respect that he >has strong views/ideals, this is most definitely a great quality. What does >concern me is that we, as devotees, support each other, in all our common goals, >and also learn to respect that others might not be able to measure up to our >standards, in our view. This does not mean that others are not just as >sincerely endeavoring to please Srila Prabhupada, Krishna, or to help their >godbrothers to do the same. > >"This is the difference between a devotee and a nondevotee.

SB10.ch2) So if even the enemy of Krishna is to be seen as >acting in Krishna conciousness, then what to speak of our godbrothers? > >I would respectfully ask d_4 to consider this.....always stand up for what >you believe in, be firm, make your point known. But kindly understand that >others might be attempting the same, with the same sincerity. This should be >respected by both sides. Consider that to wish failure for another devotee is not >kind, not compassionate. Someone elses endeavor need not be a threat to our >endeavors, unless they are directly trying to foil our attempts.
