Subala Posted June 10, 2003 Report Share Posted June 10, 2003 Can anyone without looking to other sources answer 10 questions (nothing to do at work so to keep the mind busy) 1. What mantra Valmiki muni was chanting before becoming self-realized? 2. What the Father's name of Ravana? 3. What the name of the lake where Arjina delivered 5 crocodiles while on his pilgrimage. 4. In which Prabhupada book it is mentioned (above mentioned question)? 5. What the name of purana where Lord Chaitanya discovered about "illusory Sita"? 6. What came 1st - Mahattattva or Pradhana? 7. What the 1st 2 sound vibrations brahma heard then he took birth. 8. Where did Rupa Goswami met Lord Chaitanya for 10 days to receive instructions from Him? 9. How many days Lord Chaitanya instructed Sanatana Goswami. 10. Who is Spiritual master of Tukarama from Pundarpura? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gHari Posted June 11, 2003 Report Share Posted June 11, 2003 I remember that I found out about the false Sita when I found out about Lord Caitanya finding out. We discovered together. Krsna was so kind, that He gave a tiny glimpse into how delighted and relieved Sri Krsna Caitanya must have felt at that moment. I was stunned. Can you remember when you found out? This was obviously a smoke-screen to avoid admitting that the only pseudo-answer I can derive is "either Krsna's flute or 'tapa' ". gHari Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subala Posted June 11, 2003 Author Report Share Posted June 11, 2003 1. mara 2. Pulastya? (or pulaha - i think pulasya) 3. Once i was driving with Drutakarma prabhu from conference in Atlanta back to Potomac md, 6 hours drive and to keep me awake we did this quiz things. 6 hours went by with a speed of thought. And the most memorable point of this jorney was then he asked me this question and I remembered it from CC. Wow i was so "fired up" by actully remembering this small detail for some reason. It was panchaapsara lake. And Achyta moni cursed them to become crocodiles. 5. I think it is Kurma purana 6. Pradhana? mahat comes from pradhan? 7. ta-pa - aye 8. Prayag 9. 1 month? 10. Chaitanya initiated Tukaram (way before Chaitanya's appearance) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subala Posted June 11, 2003 Author Report Share Posted June 11, 2003 I think Prabhupada disapproved devotees have quiz competitions. If memory serve me it was in dallas devotees made "quiz show" among gurukulis and Prabhupada stopped this. But I don't think this is not right if say i'm driving alot and to stay awake keep mind busy with this quizes. I can't chant then i drive - it becomes submarine japa real quickly, /images/graemlins/frown.gif and it is kind of dangerous on a road driving 80 mph. Anyway ....
