Total Lunar Eclipse - visible in NZ.
On the 16th July 2000 there's a Total Lunar Eclipse and will be visible in the Americas, the Pacific and Asia. It begins on the evening of the 16th at about 22:46 NZ time (Moon enters penumbra) and finishes around 05:04am in the early morning of the 17th July. The Umbra will go from 23:57 on the 16th to 03:53am on the 17th.
http://sunearth.gsfc.nasa.gov/eclipse/LEplot/LE2000Jul16T.gif
On the 31st July there is a Partial Solar Eclipse which is visible in Northern Asia, Northern West North America (northern Scandinavia, eastern Russia, Alaska, western Canada and the northwestern United States) and so not visible in New Zealand. (in Canada it will happen between 02:00 pm and 03:30 pm which is when sunset begins there - in NZ it would be evening in winter and so not possible for Solar anything)

BHAGAVAD-GITA 8:9
kavim puranam anusasitaram
anor aniyamsam anusmared yah
sarvasya dhataram acintya-rupam
aditya- varnam tamasah parastat
WORD FOR WORD
kavim--the one who knows everything;
puranam--the oldest;
anusasitaram--the controller; anoh--than
the atom; aniyamsam--smaller;
anusmaret--always thinks of; yah--one
who; sarvasya--of everything;
dhataram--the maintainer; acintya--inconceivable;
rupam--whose form;
aditya-varnam--luminous like the sun;
tamasah--to darkness;
parastat--transcendental.
TRANSLATION
One should meditate upon the Supreme
Person as the one who knows
everything, as He who is the oldest,
who is the controller, who is
smaller than the smallest, who is
the maintainer of everything, who is
beyond all material conception, who
is inconceivable, and who is
always a person. He is luminous like
the sun, and He is
transcendental, beyond this material
nature.
PURPORT by His Divine Grace Srila A.C.
Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada
The process of thinking of the Supreme
is mentioned in this verse. The
foremost point is that He is not impersonal
or void. One cannot
meditate on something impersonal or
void. That is very difficult. The
process of thinking of Krsna, however,
is very easy and is factually
stated herein. First of all, the Lord
is purusa, a person--we think of
the person Rama and the person Krsna.
And whether one thinks of Rama
or of Krsna, what He is like is described
in this verse of
Bhagavad-gita. The Lord is kavi; that
is, He knows past, present and
future and therefore knows everything.
He is the oldest personality
because He is the origin of everything;
everything is born out of Him.
He is also the supreme controller
of the universe, and He is the
maintainer and instructor of humanity.
He is smaller than the
smallest. The living entity is one
ten-thousandth part of the tip of a
hair, but the Lord is so inconceivably
small that He enters into the
heart of this particle. Therefore
He is called smaller than the
smallest. As the Supreme, He can enter
into the atom and into the
heart of the smallest and control
him as the Supersoul. Although so
small, He is still all-pervading and
is maintaining everything. By Him
all these planetary systems are sustained.
We often wonder how these
big planets are floating in the air.
It is stated here that the
Supreme Lord, by His inconceivable
energy, is sustaining all these big
planets and systems of galaxies. The
word acintya ("inconceivable") is very significant in this connection.
God's energy is beyond our conception, beyond our thinking jurisdiction,
and is therefore called inconceivable (acintya). Who can argue this point?
He pervades this material world and yet is beyond it. We cannot comprehend
even this material world, which is insignificant compared to the spiritual
world--so how can we comprehend what is beyond?
Acintya means that which is beyond
this material world, that which our
argument, logic and philosophical
speculation cannot touch, that which
is inconceivable. Therefore intelligent
persons, avoiding useless
argument and speculation, should accept
what is stated in scriptures
like the Vedas, Bhagavad-gita and
Srimad-Bhagavatam and follow the
principles they set down. This will
lead one to understanding.

"Regarding purchasing things in the
market, these items are considered
as purified when we pay the price
for them. That is the general instruction, but when we know something is
adulterated, we should
avoid it. But unknowingly if something
is purchased, that is not our fault. Things which are suspicious, however,
should be avoided."

THE DEVOTEE WHO KEPT HIS TILAKA
There was once a factory where all the workers were Hindus, and mostly Vaishnavas. The Vaishnavas had freedom, therefore, to wear their Vaishnava tilaka to work, and they also displayed other Vaishnava paraphernalia. But after some time, the factory went to new management, and then the proprietor was a Muslim. On taking over the business, the Muslim owner declared that he would not allow the workers to come to work any more wearing Vaishnava tilaka. Most of the workers obeyed, and on the given date announced by the owner, they appeared at the factory without their tilaka. One employee, however, thought that he would take his chances and depend on Krsna. So he went to work wearing very clear, white Vaishnava tilaka. After seeing all the workers assembled, the new Muslim proprietor said, "This one devotee who has worn Vaishnava tilaka is very courageous. He may be permitted to continue wearing the tilaka to work. But all others are forbidden to wear it any more."
MORAL: We should not unnecessarily abandon our Vaishnava culture.

This has Gita Bhasya of Sripad Madhvacharya
and other related topics.
You may visit at http://madhva.tripod.com.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
A quick look @ Sripad Ananda Tirtha
- Madhwacharya's points in his Panchbeda philosophy:
1. the difference between us
(tiny Jivas) and the Supreme Lord - like gold in a ring and gold in the
mine - qualitatively it is the same, yet quantitatively it is different.
2. the difference between each
of us as individuals independent of each other yet co-dependent on the
Lord - i.e. if I eat you are not automatically satisfied.
3. the difference between the
Lord and the material elements - Panch-bhutas; earth, water, fire, air,
and ether, and yet their dependence upon Him for existance - like a coconut;
coconut husk, coconut kernal, coconut meat, coconut milk, without "coconut"
the elements have no existance.
4. the difference in different
kinds of material elements - sweetrice and clay although both coming from
the earth and being constructed of the same elements, have individuality.
the elements while being the same are in different proportions and so functionally
they are different.
5. the difference between the
Jiva souls and the material elements - like our example of the computer
- the computer does many of the things that a Jiva appears to do, but because
there is no soul - there's only minimal dicriminative power, no real intelligence
and no emotion, only pre-programed response.

Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Gosvami
writes: "Look within. Amend yourself, rather than pry
into the frailties of others. When
faults in others misguide and delude you - have patience, introspect, find
faults in your self. Know that others cannot harm you unless you harm yourself.
I wish that every selfless, tender-hearted person of the Gaudiya Math will
be prepared to shed two hundred gallons of blood for the nourishment of
the spiritual corpus of every individual of this world."

“O Lord, this material body is a place of ignorance, and the senses are a network of paths leading to death. Somehow, we have fallen into this ocean of material sense enjoyment, and of all the senses the tongue is most voracious and uncontrollable; it is very difficult to conquer the tongue in this world. But You, dear Krishna, are very kind to us and have given us such nice prasädam just to control the tongue. So now we take that prasädam to our full satisfaction and glorify You, Lord Rädhä and Krishna and in love call for the help of Lord Caitanya and Nityänanda."

Sometimes great authorities will teach
asat shastra, a teaching which is not actually bona fide, but is just something
to beat the heads of the atheists and kick them out. There is one
story of Gopala Bhan. He was employed by king Krsnacandra, who lived
about 300 years ago in Bengal, and Gopala was the joker. He was also
very intelligent, and very bold. There was a digvijaya pandita, who
came to Bengal. At that time, the main king or emperor of Bengal
was a Muslim, but in different provinces there were also Hindu kings, and
Maharaja Krsnacandra was one such Hindu king, he was king in that area
of Navadvipa. So this digvijaya pandita had been going all over India
defeating all the pandits, and getting it written down, "I have defeated
this one, I have defeated that one." So he came to the Muslim emperor,
saying, "I am the great digvijaya pandita, I have come now to Bengal and
I'm making a challenge. You bring your best pandita. I will
defeat him." What he expected was that whoever he defeated had to
become his disciple. So he made a very strong challenge. The
Muslim emperor turned to his adviser and said, "What should we do?"
The minister replied, "Well, you know all our best pandits are down in
Navadipa." That was the centre of learning. So a message was
sent to Maharaja Krsnacandra that a big pandita has come to the Muslim
emperor and given challenge. "Send your best pandits, and if I defeat
them they must become my disciples." So it was very heavy for Maharaja
Krsnacandra, because he knew, "The Muslim emperor is expecting that I send
some pandits that can defeat him. It is all now on my shoulders."
So then, together with his advisers, he decided to bring in the big pandits.
They explained to the pandits what was going on, but all the pandits
in Navadvipa said, "No.&n bsp; We're not getting involved in this."
They didn't want their prestige to be diminished, they were thinking, "If
we go there and he defeats us then it means we have to become his disciples,
and then our prestige will be diminished. So we'll just stay out
of this." The king was very much worried, because he was a kshatriya,
he cannot force Brahmins to do his will. He can only ask, and if
they say no then he's in a helpless situation. So he was very worried.
Then Gopala Bhan came in, and saw the king sitting there very morose.
"Hey king! What's wrong?" "Oh Gopala, look don't bother me
now." Gopala said, "Oh, come on, What's the matter." The king
was very sober, "Look Gopala, we don't want to laugh now. We don't
want to hear jokes. Please come back another day." "No no,"
Gopala said, "Why don't you just tell me?" " ;All right," the king
said, and then he explained everything. Then Gopala said, "All right,
then I will go." "You?" the king asked. "Yes, I will go, and
I will defeat this pandita. No problem." So then Gopala went
home, and he dressed himself up like a big Brahmin. Cut his hair
with a big sikha, huge tilaka and a Harinam chadar, looking very bonafide.
And Brahmins used to carry their shastra in a roll, a scroll wrapped in
silk cloth, under their arm. So he was looking for something to wrap
up, and he had in his house one old broken bed. So in Bengal these
beds are strips of cloth which are woven together, like a deck chair, and
in Bengali they call such a bed a kata. Because the English settled
India, many English words come from the Indian language. In English
such a bed is called a cot. So he took a leg from that old broken
bed, and he wrapped in cloth. He went back t o the king, and showed
himself. Everyone was astonished. "Wow, he looks like a real
heavy Brahmin." He was really getting into the role. "What
is this shastra?" the king asked, and Gopala replied, "This is my Khatvanga
Purana." "But we never heard of this shastra," everyone was saying.
"When I come back I will tell you," Gopala said, and then he left.
Actually what it was, was that khata means "bed", anga means "part of"
or in this case the leg, and purana means "old." So it was "an old
leg of a bed," or "Khatvanga Purana." So this was his shastra.
Then he went to the emperors palace, and he came walking in. "Oh,
what great pandita is this?" "My name is Gopala Bhan Das Pandit Maharaja.
I have been sent by the king Maharaja Krsnacandra to defeat this so-called
digvijaya. I am master of the four Vedas, and especially my field
of expertise is the Jyotir-Veda (which includes astrology.)" He was
speaking so confidently, and he was looking fearless. Everyone was
very impressed, and even this digvijaya pandita was thinking, "He's not
at all afraid of me. He must be a heavy one." So the digvijaya
pandita saw this scripture that Gopala was carrying, and he asked, "What
is this scripture, may I ask?" "This," Gopala replied, "Is my Khatvanga
Purana, of which I am a master." The pandita was saying, "Wait a
minute, I've heard of Visnu Purana, Skanda Purana. I've never heard
of Katvanga Purana. May I see this?" Then Gopal Bhan exclaimed,
"Ohh!" He was looking into the sky and going, "Ohhh! I have
just noticed the angle of the sun, and I am remembering now the date today.
We have just now entered a most auspicious moment, according to t he Jyotir-Veda.
Anybody who takes a hair from the head of this pandita," pointing to the
digvijaya, "will immediately be granted with long life, and wealth in this
lifetime, and liberation in the next. All auspicious result will
come in this life and the next, simply by taking a hair from such a great
digvijaya pandita as this." So then immediately everyone in the court
ran and was taking hairs from the pandita. The pandita was being
in this way driven by Gopal, and they were taking from his beard, face
and everything. He went running and they were all chasing him.
Finally when he was gone, Gopal regained his composure from torrents of
laughter. Gopala Bhan returned to Navadipa with his head in the air.
"Don't worry King, he is gone. That pandita has run off. He's
completely defeated, completely finished." "Oh!" the king said.
"How did you do this?" "As y ou were saying, I have this Katvanga
Purana. I am a master of the learning of this." And when
he opened it he showed a leg of a bed, and everyone was astonished.
Then he explained the story, and they could all understand that he had
just played a big joke, that's all. Then they asked him, "How is
it that you could go so confidently, so boldly into that courtyard of the
Muslim emperor, simply dressed up like a brahmin and carrying an old bed
leg under your arm. How were you so sure that you could defeat him
jus by a trick?" Gopala replied, "As soon as I heard that this pandita
was going to the Muslim king and declaring that he is a great learned scholar,
and that he would defeat any other scholar, then I knew that he must have
been a fool. He must have actually been a kind of rascal because
what do Muslims know about Vedic learning. Why did he go to the Muslim,
why didn't he come down here or go to another Hi ndu king. He was
going to the Muslim king, so I knew that he must just be a rascal, trying
to make a big show, so I did not think I had anything to fear when I went
there." MORAL: The digvijaya pandita was just actually a rascal,
which means not really one who's situated on the platform of knowledge,
just someone who's trying to gain some name and fame. That's a rascal.
Rascals can be defeated by rascal means.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
There was another incident with Gopal
Bhan. He was a very cunning fellow in the Mohammedan period in Bengal.
So the Mohammedan Nawab asked him, "Gopal Ban, can you prepare a Mahabharata
in my name?" "Oh yes!" Gopal replied. "I'll engage so many
pandits, and they will make a Mahabharata describing your activities, your
glories, everything. So give me one hundred thousand rupees, just
to begin." Gopal was taking more and more money. Then the king
asked him, "When will it be published?" "Just a few days more," Gopal
replied. Then finally, "Yes sit, everything is prepared. But
one last thing is, you have to give me information about how many husbands
your wife has got. How many?" So this was a great insult.
"What? You nonsense!" the king exclaimed. "No," Gopal replied,
"This is the main feature of the Mahabharata . Draupadi had five
husbands, so how many husbands does your wife have? Tell me that."
"I am the only husband!" the king shouted. "Then how can I write
Mahabharata?" Gopala asked. "If you want Mahabharata you must tell
me how many husbands your wife has. That he cannot say, so Mahabharata
finished. And he kept the money. MORAL: So scientists
are doing like that. They are taking taxpayer's money, but then in
the end they make up some excuse why they couldn't do it. Politicians
take votes and make so many promises, but in the end they break all their
promises.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Once there was a brahmin who had the
habit of day dreaming. On this occasion he had come up with the idea to
laboriously make some clay pots, which he did. After dying them he brought
them into the house and sat before them looking and smiling. "Mmmmmm,"
he said to himself, "I need a cow, then I can collect the milk of that
cow in all of the pots, churn some into ghee, keep some and sell some for
profit."
As he spoke suddenly his wife came in, and took two pots away and put them
over on the other side of the room. "Hey, What the ....." said the brahmin,
".....what do you think you are doing with those pots?"
"They are for my mother and sister," his wife retorted.
"I'm not giving milk from my cow to you mother and sister," the brahmin shouted. "If your sister comes here to collect milk I'll kick....!" And as he said that he kicked the pots and they all broke into pieces all over the floor.
Now Gopal Bhan happened to see what was going on and the huge argument that followed regarding how, "....just the mention of your sister, and look what has happened to my pots.......!"
Gopal thought he would resolve the matter and immediately took up a stick, and ran into the room shouting at the brahmin while beating him with the stick, "Your cow has gone into my vegetable field and has eaten all my sabjis, what do you........????"
The brahmin coming to his senses then shouted, "Wait, I don't have a cow!"
Gopal, stopped and said, "........So
what's all the commotion about?"
--------------------------------------------------------------------
One day the king's wife gave birth
to a male child, and so the king was rejoicing. At that moment, Gopala
came into a room, and the king said, "Gopala, on this very, very happy
occasion, please tell me what do you have to say? Tell me exactly
how you feel at this moment." Gopala replied, "Frankly, at this moment,
I feel very happy after passing stool." "Gopala! How could
you say such a thing?" The king was mortified. "On this auspicious
moment, that's all you have to say? I'm completely disgusted.
It's not funny and I don't appreciate your humour at all." After
that, the relations between the king and Gopala were strained for some
time. But one day, Gopala was rowing the king down the river, when
the king suddenly had an urgent call of nature. Gopala said, "On
this side there is a very heavy jungle area. It's not very suitable.
Let us go a little further down and we'll find a suitable place."
The king said, "Go over to the side!" Gopala said, "Not here.
There is danger. Some thieves and dacoits. Your life may be
endangered. There's a place ahead." The king said, "Gopala,
I cannot wait any longer. Immediately go over!" Gopala had to go
over and the king jumped out. He could hardly contain himself.
When the king returned, Gopala asked him, "How are you feeling?"
The king replied, "I am feeling very happy after passing stool."
Then Gopala said, "Don't you remember? This was exactly the situation
I was in after your child was born. When you asked me at that moment
what exactly I was feeling, I was in the same situation as you are now.
I told you how I was feeling, but you thought I was insulting to your son
and you never appreciated it. Now do you understand?"
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Gopala was building a new house, and
according to the Vedic custom, before you open a house you have to have
a sacrifice called a grha-pravesana. This means that there is a yajna
so that the house is pure and offered to God. No one is allowed to
pass any stool in the house or it will be considered contaminated.
Nothing is used by anyone until the Brahmins enter with sankirtan-yajna,
reciting mantras and sprinkling Ganges water. Thus in the Vedic culture,
everything, including building a house and conceiving a child is regulated
so that at every point one is conscious of Krsna. But the king wanted
to defeat Gopala, and so he offered a large reward of gold coins if anyone
could outsmart Gopala and pass stool in his newly constructed house.
One day Gopala was inspecting his house when a man sent by the king came up and pretended to be suffering from an urgent call of nature. "Gopala," he said, "I have to immediately pass stool. Please show me your bathroom. I cannot contain myself." "All right," said Gopala, "come on." He took him over to the bathroom of the newly constructed house and allowed the man to squat down inside. But when he tried to close the door for privacy, Gopala stood there by the open door. "Gopala, why are you standing there and not allowing me to close the door? Why are you holding that big stick in your hand. Gopala said, "No, you can pass stool in my bathroom, but if you pass one drop of urine I'm going to smash your head." Then the man laughed and confessed, "You are very clever," and he ran off defeated.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
No-one, not even an emperor, can be
serious without relief. But since everyone had to treat the king
very respectfully, there would be one person allowed to spoof with the
king. The king would also be able to joke with him, because if the
king were to do that with his prime minister, the prime minister's prestige
would be reduced. So King Krsnacandra was always engaged in a battle
of wits with his joker, Gopala.
One time Gopala walked into the king's
court and the king said, "Gopala, you are an ass." "My lord," said
Gopala. "I am not an ass. There is a difference between me
and an ass." Then Gopala measured out the difference between himself
and the king and said, "Six feet."

A man rushed into the Ayurvedik doctor's
office and shouted,
"Doctor! I think I'm shrinking!"
The doctor calmly responded,
"Now, settle down. You'll just have
to be a little patient."
