sopatel Posted December 8, 2007 Report Share Posted December 8, 2007 this is so sweet. Thank you for providing a "formula" because you really can't find true "gurus" nowadays but learning something good from everyone is a more progress than none.

RadheyRadhey108 Posted May 25, 2008 Report Share Posted May 25, 2008 I think this pada seems to list off nearly everything you listed (except for that She doesn't make mention of charity) : The colors of Shyama Sundara have penetrated Mira's body; all the other colors washed out. Making love with Shyama Sundara and eating little, those are my pearls and my carnelians. Meditation beads and the forehead streak, those are my scarves and my rings. That's enough feminine wiles for me. My teacher taught me this. Approve me or disapprove me: I praise Govardhan, the Mountain Holder, night and day. I take the path that ecstatic human beings have taken for centuries. I don't steal money, I don't hit anyone. What will you charge me with? I have felt the swaying of the elephant's shoulders; and now you want me to climb on a jackass? Try to be serious. --Mira Bai Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always adorn a peaceful smile; it will work on others and on you too And try and disribute a few of Srila Prabhupada's wonderful books Wow, how fortunate was I to be trained up in Prabhupada's book selling by the great pioneer of Book distribution, Buddhimanta Prabhu in 1973. I remember travelling with him, Hari Sauri, Gopikanta, Yasomatinandana, Balarama, Gopinathacarya, Somendrinath, and Gauragopala. We would stop in our orange combi-Van and chant in towns we visited and my God, those kirtans were ecstatically powerful. Those days were the best kirtans And there is the great Buddhimanta dasa playing the base drum in Melbourme 1974 (Rathayatra festival) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
