you are the soul.

[yasodanandana]

all cells of your body change every 7 years... if you are 21 you have already changed 3 bodies

 

the fact that you feel to be the same person is a sign that you're the soul dressed with many bodies also within the same life

Dio e l'anima suprema .Io sono l'anima in questo corpo.

Krishna disse:

Per l'anima non c'è mai nascita ne morte.

Esiste e non cessa mai di esistere.

È non nata, eterna, esiste sempre,

non muore ed è originale.

Non muore quando il corpo muore.

(Bhagavad-gita 2.20)

If I am going to do business I'll speak in English

 

If I am to going speak to my horse I'll speak in German

 

If I am to going speak to my girlfriend I'll speak in French

 

But,if I am to going speak to God I'll speak in Italian !

I remember on one of the "Memories" videos Srila Bhakti Vaibhava Puri Maharaj mentioned how Italians fit in so easily in India. They take to Vaisnava culture so easily.

 

Any thoughts on why this is? I know Srila Prabhupada was impressed that the Italian culture was very respectful towards those who were religious.
