Guest guest Posted October 5, 2005 Report Share Posted October 5, 2005 Is there any ashram that practices vaishnavam, where I can settle. I am planning to take sanyas, but I want to do so at the hands of a bonafide guru. Please point me to the right path. Haribol! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted October 11, 2005 Report Share Posted October 11, 2005 the devotees of sri chaitanya mission know english... so there's no problem.. some infos on srila bhakti vaibhava puri goswami maharaja: http://www.srilapurimaharaja.org/ video: http://www.iskcon.it/prabhupadadesh/purim.wmv Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 11, 2005 Report Share Posted October 11, 2005 on that site you gave me, there was an email address but is it an email for the Indian math or Croatia? Can I simply email them and ask them for info? Would that be polite or acceptable? Thanks again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 11, 2005 Report Share Posted October 11, 2005 may know English, but what of the local people? I need them to ask for directions and all. Will they respond amiably? This is my first time... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 12, 2005 Report Share Posted October 12, 2005 i don't know if they have computer facilities in vrindavan.. in vrindavan the majority speaks english, so there's not problem, they're very kind, and there's a lot of western devotees since 1970 or so... if you want to go in india to practice spiritual life, vrindavana is without doubt the best place. And it is quite easy to go there and to find a place where to stay.. there are many hotels at any price, and be prapared to not be admitted immediately in chaitanya mission or any other math even if you contact them before by email... obviously it is not impossibile and it can happen immediately or after little time... it is only up to you to show sincerity and devotion... -- i am leaving for vrindavan this saturday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 12, 2005 Report Share Posted October 12, 2005 many people have internet connection in India, Vrndavana is no exeption, go on line to the guest houses and see if there are some links there for ya, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 12, 2005 Report Share Posted October 12, 2005 "many people have internet connection in India," so many! in vrindavan too! i was speaking of the devotees of sri chaitanya mission Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 12, 2005 Report Share Posted October 12, 2005 You said you were going to Vrindavan this saturday. It seems as if you're experienced and been there before, so can you share your experiences with us. It will give us a better idea on what to expect there.

Guest guest Posted October 12, 2005 Report Share Posted October 12, 2005 i have been in vrindavan five times... it is a very pleasurable and deep experience, the most amazing fact is that it is possibile to see everywhere in an amazing variety, people completely devoted to sri krsna bhagavan..... and this make me feel very little, very fallen and unfortunate... on the practical side, i found everything quite easy and happy... to eat, to buy food, to make some shopping, to travel visiting holy places are in themselves nice and spiritually valuable experiences even if i feel sick or tired and i stay all the afternoon seated near krsna balarama mandhir's gate, or in chaitanya mission near seva kunja, or in radha damodhara temple near prabhupada's rooms , or in banke bihari....... simply watching all the variety of devotees coming, gives to me a great fun... like watching the most amazing movie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 12, 2005 Report Share Posted October 12, 2005 to have been there. Did you experience anything mystical, like seeing visions of vrindavan lila and such? Also, where are you from? I thought people of vrindavan, as all people in kali yuga, were fallen. Are you saying they are all bhaktas. It is so hard to believe but heartening just the same.

Guest guest Posted October 12, 2005 Report Share Posted October 12, 2005 to have been there. Did you experience anything mystical, like seeing visions of vrindavan lila and such? --nooooo... never..... i'm a neophite! I thought people of vrindavan, as all people in kali yuga, were fallen. Are you saying they are all bhaktas --yes.. they're all bhaktas.. you can't live (and love) in vrindavan without the permission of sri radhika.
