melvin Posted December 19, 2008 Report Share Posted December 19, 2008 Before Srila Prabhupada departed for Vrndavan in the spiritual sky, he requested his disciples if he could do a parikrama- visiting temples and shrines. But Srila Prabhupada`s disciples won`t allow it because of his failing health. To a catholic, parikrama similarly would be described as visita iglesia- visiting at least seven churches around the area where one resides on Good Friday. Parikrama-sita-jaya on the other hand is a word I coined describing Maharaja Pariksit- the great raja who absorbed through hearing everything about Lord Krsna directly from the voice of Sukadeva Goswami- son of Vyasadeva, the author of Srimad Bhagavatam, for seven days non-stop. My point here is that a dying person who wants to go home back to Godhead should do a parikrama if his body is willing. If not, he should do a parikrama-sita-jaya act.

melvin Posted December 22, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 22, 2008 a short reply: * *funny Bija, sorry for the long vacation. I was doing a parikrama-sita-jaya at the malls because Christmas is near. I still have to buy gifts for the family. & I have no money, not even a single centavo, at this point in time. P.S. The truth is our phone was disconnected for not paying the bill on time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
