riih.qarojamahoamaan Posted July 27, 2007 Report Share Posted July 27, 2007 It is true, no other joke makes people laugh so much as saying the truth. What is a joke? a joke is poetry. What is poetry? Poetry is telling too big lies so as to reveal a hidden truth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gHari Posted December 13, 2007 Report Share Posted December 13, 2007 Yes, a few times I've wondered if a Gaudiya preacher could make it as a stand-up comedian. "Take my wife, ...... please". The Vedas say we live forever. Nobody told me that when I took my wedding vows. "Take my wife, ...... please". If the soul is more powerful than the sun, then why don't I have a tan all year round? Some holy dude said that if I sing this hymn I'll go to the Kingdom of God. So I asked, "You got MTV there"? I studied God for thirty years at the ashram. He's more a mystery now than ever. At the ashram we couldn't have sex or booze. So you can imagine how quickly the place would empty out on Friday nights. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

krsna Posted July 2, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 2, 2008 Mahatma Gandhi visited London in 1932. He toured the city wearing traditional dhoti and khadi shawl. People who met him were shocked with his “barbaric” attire, and he was the subject of ridicule–notably by Churchill himself. On one occasion Gandhi accepted an invitation to tea from King George V, “Emperor of India.” When asked afterwards if he felt underdressed, Gandhi replied, “His Majesty had enough clothes on for both of us.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
