The Master Said:

 

" Wicked people are needed too.

At one time the tenants of an estate became unruly.

The landlord had to send Golak Choudhury, who was a ruffian.

He was such a harsh administrator that the tenants trembled

at the very mention of his name. "

" It sure looks like the Kaliyuga out there to me when I read the morning

news or turn on the TV! "

comment:

 

" THERE IS STILL A LITTLE WAY TO GO "

(according to the eminent founder of ISKON)

 

The following is excerpted from the Purport of

His Divine Grace, A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami PrabhupAda:

 

Srimad BhAgavatam - published 1972

[canto 1. Ch.3]

 

" The present Kali-Yuga lasts 432,000 years,

out of which we have passed only 5,000 years

after the Battle of Kurukshetra and the end of the

regime of King Pariksit. So there are 427,000 years

balance yet to be finished. "

Edith: re: Our Lady of Guadalupe

 

" In Santa Barbara, the Catholic publishing company Queenship Press has become a

clearinghouse for the international petition drive to elevate the Virgin Mary's

status to that of " co-redeemer' of the world, a controversial change in church

doctrine. "

 

Comment: How so? Where is the change in doctrine?

 

In 1950, Pope Pius XII declared that the Doctrine of the

Assumption of Mary was 'revealed' - thereby defining officially

what all Catholics had believed for centuries.

 

The Catholic postion in the matter is that the Assumption of

Mary is 'implicitly revealed', which means it is a 'consequence'

of her Divine Motherhood and Perpetual Virginity.

 

In other words, Roman Catholics recognize the Blessed Virgin Mary

as an Incarnation of the Divine Mother.

 

Incidentally, we are celebrating today [sunday, September 26], the

Feast of the Martyrs of North America, commemorating the

eight missionary martyrs slain by the Indians in 1642-9.

 

Also, for Jay :

 

" On this day in 1831, the Foundation of

the British Association for the Advancement of Science ! "
