TRANSLATION
When the embodied being is able to
transcend these three modes
associated with the material body,
he can become free from birth,
death, old age and their distresses
and can enjoy nectar even in this life.
PURPORT by Srila A.C. Bhaktivedanta
Swami Prabhupada.
How one can stay in the transcendental
position, even in this body, in
full Krsna consciousness, is explained
in this verse. The Sanskrit
word dehi means "embodied." Although
one is within this material body,
by his advancement in spiritual knowledge
he can be free from the
influence of the modes of nature.
He can enjoy the happiness of
spiritual life even in this body because,
after leaving this body, he
is certainly going to the spiritual
sky. But even in this body he can
enjoy spiritual happiness. In other
words, devotional service in Krsna
consciousness is the sign of liberation
from material entanglement,
and this will be explained in the
Eighteenth Chapter. When one is
freed from the influence of the modes
of material nature, he enters
into devotional service.

kali-kukkura-mudgara-bhava-dharam
hari-nama-mahausadha-dana-param
patitarta-dayardra-sumurti-dharam
bhaja godruma-kanana-kunja-vidhum
"Lord Gauranga has the intent to slay
the sinful dogs of kali-yuga, but He
does so through the greatest gift--the
Holy Name of Lord Hari; He has a
beautiful form, full of compassion
upon the oppressed and fallen. Just
worship that moon of the wooded bowers
of Godruma-dvipa, Sri Caitanya
Mahaprabhu."
---------------------------------------------------------------
"In the age of Kali, people who are
endowed with sufficient intelligence will worship the Lord, who is accompanied
by His associates, by performance of sankirtana yajna."
(Bhag. 11.5.32) Sir Caitanya Mahaprabhu
is always accompanied by His plenary expansion Sri Nityananda Prabhu, His
incarnation Sri Advaita Prabhu, His internal potency Sri Gadadhara Prabhu
and His marginal potency Srivasa Prabhu. He is in the midst of them as
the Supreme Personality of Godhead. One should know that Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu
is always accompanied by these other tattvas. Therefore our obeisances
to Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu are complete when we say, sri krsna-caitanya
prabhu nityananda sri- advaita gadadhara srivasadigaura-bhakta-vrnda. As
preachers of the Krsna consciousness movement, we first offer our obeisances
to Sri Caitanya
Mahaprabhu by chanting this Panca-tattva
mantra; then we say, Hare Krsna, Hare Krsna, Krsna Krsna, Hare Hare/ Hare
Rama, Hare Rama, Rama Rama, Hare Hare.
There are ten offenses in the chanting
of the Hare Krsna maha-mantra, but these are not considered in the chanting
of the Panca-tattva mantra, namely, sri- krsna-caitanya prabhu nityananda
sri-advaita gadadhara srivasadi-gaura-bhakta-vrnda. Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu
is known as maha-vadanyavatara, the most magnanimous incarnation, for He
does not consider the offenses of the fallen souls. Thus to derive the
full benefit
of the chanting of the maha-mantra
(Hare Krsna, Hare Krsna, Krsna Krsna, Hare Hare/ Hare Rama, Hare Rama,
Rama Rama, Hare Hare), we must first take shelter of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu,
learn the Panca-tattva maha-mantra, and then chant the Hare Krsna maha-mantra.
That will be very effective.
Taking advantage
of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu, there are many unscrupulous devotees who manufacture
a maha-mantra of their own. Sometimes they sing, bhaja nitai gaura radhe
syama hare krsna hare rama or sri-krsna-caitanya prabhu nityananda hare
krsna hare rama sri radhe govinda. Actually, however, one should chant
the names of the full Panca-tattva (sri-krsna- caitanya prabhu nityananda
sri-advaita gadadhara srivasadi-gaura-bhakta- vrnda) and then the sixteen
words Hare Krsna,
Hare Krsna, Krsna Krsna, Hare Hare/
Hare Rama, Hare Rama, Rama Rama, Hare
Hare, but these unscrupulous, less
intelligent men confuse the entire process. Of course, since they are also
devotees they can express their feelings in that way, but the method prescribed
by Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu's pure devotees is to chant first the full Panca-tattva
mantra and then chant the maha-mantra-Hare Krsna, Hare Krsna, Krsna Krsna,
Hare Hare/ Hare Rarna, Hare Rama, Rama Rama, Hare Hare.
---------------------------------------------------------------
Please chant:
hare krishna hare krishna krishna krishna
hare hare
hare rama hare rama rama rama hare
hare
.......and your life will become sublime.

Svetasvatara Upanisad (3.12):
mahan-prabhur vai purusah sattvasyesa
pravarttakah
sunirmalam-imam praptimisano jyotiravyah
"The Personality of Godhead, Sri Caitanya
Mahaprabhu, is brilliantly
effulgent and imperishable like
molten gold. He is the Supreme
Controller, He controls the
mode of goodness and through
sankirtana bestows spiritual
intelligence on the living beings. In the
guise of a sannyasi, He is the
source of spiritual purity and
liberation. He is therefore
known as Mahaprabhu."

"One who is extremely fortunate may
get the mercy of Caitanya Mahaprabhu. As much as one can devote his full
attention to the lotus feet of Lord Caitanya, to that extent he will be
able to taste the nectarine service of the lotus feet of Srimati Radharani
in Vrindavana. The more one engages in the service of Sri Caitanya the
more one finds oneself in Vrindavana, tasting the nectar of the service
of Sri Radha" (Caitanya Candramrta 88)
--------------------------------------------------------------
In the Chaitanya-charitamrta (Madhya-lila
6.253-254) we find the following verses composed by the learned scholar
Sarvabhauma Bhattacarya:
vairagya-vidya-nija-bhakti-yoga-
siksartham-ekah purusah puranah
sri-krsna-caitanya-sarira-dhari
krpambudhir-yas tam-aham prapadye
"Let me take shelter of the
Supreme Personality of Godhead, Sri Krsna, who has descended in the form
of Sri Krsna Caitanya Mahaprabhu to teach us real knowledge, His devotional
service, and detachment from whatever does not foster Krsna consciousness.
He has descended because He is an ocean of transcendental mercy.
Let me surrender unto His lotus feet."
kalan nastam bhakti-yogam nijam yah
praduskartum krsna-caitanya-nama
avirbhutas tasya padaravinde
gadham gadham liyatam citta-bhrngah
"Let my consciousness, which
is like a honeybee, take shelter of the lotus feet of the Supreme Personality
of Godhead, who has just now appeared as Sri Krsna Caitanya Mahaprabhu
to teach the ancient system of devotional service to Himself. This system
had almost been lost due to the influence of time."

Text Eighteen Sri Chaitanya Upanishad:

"May the cowherd boy who is a festival
of ecstatic bliss for
the hearts of the fortunate creatures
residing in the groves
of Govardhana Hill, Who is the lover
of the Gopis, Who eagerly
enjoys pastimes in Vrindavana forest,
and Whose complexion is
as splendid as a great sapphire, eternally
enjoy transcendental
pastimes in our hearts."
Sri Isvara Puri as cited by Srila Rupa
Goswami Prabhupada in the
Padyavali-[Bhaktanam Nistha] Text
75.
Translation
He who is beyond that which is perishable
and imperishable is
the Supreme Person. The name of the
Supreme Truth, the cause of
all causes is Sri Caitanya.
Purport
The universe is perishable. The spirit
soul is imperishable.
The supreme truth beyond both of these,
the cause of all causes
is called Caitanya, whose nature is
that of the Supreme Person.
By this, the three truths of Vedanta
are confirmed.

the full Upanishad.

--------------------------------------------------------------
Realization of Sri Caitanya as the
Supreme Personality of Godhead expressed thus in the Mundaka Upanisad (3.3):
yada pasyah pasyate rukma-varnam
kartaram isam purusam brahma-yonim
tada vidvan punya-pape vidhuya
niranjanah paramam samyamupaiti
"When one realizes the golden form
of Sri Caitanya, who is the ultimate actor and the source of the Supreme
Brahman, he attains the highest knowledge. He transcends both pious and
impious activities, becomes free from worldly bondage, and enters the divine
abode of the Lord."
--------------------------------------------------------------
Srimad-Bhagavatam (11.5.32) also confirms
that in Kali-yuga Krsna will appear to spread the sankirtana movement along
with His eternal associates. In the eleventh canto the sage Karabhajana
Muni, while describing the avataras (incarnations) of the four yugas to
King Nimi gives the following verse:
krsna-varnam
tvisakrsnam sangopangastra-parsadam
yajnaih
sankirtana-prayair yajanti hi su-medhasah
"In the age of Kali, Krsna appears in a golden form, chanting the two syllables krs-na. He descends along with His weapons, limbs, energies, and eternal confidential associates. Those with intelligence worship Him with the sankirtana yajna."
--------------------------------------------------------------
The Dan-dharma verse, in chapter 149
of the Mahabharata, also describes the
appearance of Krsna as Sri Chaitanya:
suvarna-varno hemango
varangas-candanangadi
sannyasa-krc chamah
santo nistha-santi-parayanah
"When Krsna appears as Sri Chaitanya
(Sri Gauranga), in His early pastimes His complexion is golden (suvarna-varna),
His limbs are the colour of molten white gold (hemanga), His body is extremely
beautiful (varangas), and He is decorated with sandalwood pulp (candanangadi).
He accepts sannyasa (sannyasa-krt) and shows equanimity (sama). He is peaceful
(santa). His mind is always fixed on Krsna and thus He is nistha, or fixed,
in performing the great sacrifice of the holy name of Krsna. He silences
the non-devotees and impersonalists who are opposed to the service of the
Lord by promoting the cause of devotion. Thus He distributes real peace.
He is therefore an abode of the highest spiritual peace and devotion."
---------------------------------------------------------------
namo maha-vadanyaya
krsna-prema-pradaya te
krsnaya krsna-caitanya-namne
gaura-tvise namah
(C.c. Madhya-lila 19.53)
"O most munificent incarnation.
You are Krsna Himself appearing as Sri Krsna Caitanya Mahaprabhu. You have
assumed the golden colour of Srimati Radharani, and You are widely distributing
pure love of Krsna (Krsna prema). We offer our respectful obeisances unto
You."

"My dear King, although Kali-yuga
is an ocean of faults, there is still one good quality about this age:
Simply by chanting the Hare Krsna maha-mantra (sankirtana) one can become

Such people worship the age of Kali because in this age, simply by chanting the Hare Krsna maha-mantra, one can advance in spiritual knowledge and attain life's goal. (Bha: 11.5.36)"

"In the Dvapara-yuga people should
worship Lord Visnu only by the regulative principles of the Narada-pancaratra
and other such authorized books. In the age of Kali, however, people should
simply chant the holy names of the Supreme Personality of Godhead.
(Narayana-samhita)"

"I shall personally inaugurate

I bow down to Him who has manifested Himself with the sentiment and complexion of Srimati Radharani although He is Krsna Himself.

College Alarm Clock v1.02 -- Win9x
College Alarm Clock is a 7-day alarm
clock which will beep, play a music
file or play a CD at the appointed
time each day. Designed by a college
student for other students, College
Alarm Clock is supposed to help
students get to class on time. This
is a simple little alarm program
which has some neat features -- like
being able to skip a day, or days,
and can be set to a different time
each day. It also uses very few
system resources (less than 1%) so
you don't mind it running in the
background while you work. It minimizes
to an icon in the system tray
(next to the clock) so it even stays
out of the way. We had a problem
with this program because it couldn't
detect our audio CD. We tried it
on two separate computers, one running
Windows Me and the other running
Windows 98SE, and it didn't work on
either. In both cases it recognized
the audio CD drive, but not the CD
itself. If you want a 7-day alarm
clock (and you don't want to wake
to CD music!) then grab a copy of
College Alarm Clock. Access this 134kB

Korela Bhaja (Fried Bitter Melon)

would a cucumber) and coat the slices with
turmeric powder

in a karai or wok. Deep fry the slices;
some people prefer
thicker slices fried til they are just cooked but still green and soft

Ranga Aloor Pantua - (Sweet Potato
Balls in Syrup)
Others may call it Ranga Aloor Pooli
- but I prefer to call it Pantua.
That gives a little solace to my poor
tastebuds, which rarely get a chance
to taste real Pantuas.
Ingredients
300 grams
Sweet red potato,
3 Tablespoon
Flour,
2 Cups of
Sugar,
1 cup Water,
Oil for deep
Frying,
Procedure
1.Boil the potatos, peel and mash.
2.Mix the flour and make a smooth
paste.
3.Make small, 2-3cm Diameter balls
from this paste.
4.Boil the sugar with water and make
syrup of medium consistency.
5.Heat oil in a deep frying pan, and
fry the Potato balls on low to medium heat.
6.Take out a sweet potato ball and
check whether it is done by piercing
a toothpick. The outer surface
should be medium brown.
7.Transfer the fried sweet potato
balls to the syrup carefully and let the syrup soak in.
8.Refrigerate and serve with whipped
cream or icecream, or serve warm.
# An important point in this recipe
is to get the sweet potato balls
cooked through, without too much browning
of the outer surface.
Keep the heat low and stir occassionally.
# The flour helps to bind the potato
- so if the ball breaks into
pieces after you let them in oil,
add some more flour to the remaining dough.

Misti Doi (sweet yogurt)
1 litre long life (UHT) full cream
milk
1 litre long life (UHT) single cream
1 cup natural yogurt
1 can sweetened condensed milk
1 cup sugar
That's it, mix them together ( no need to boil and cool the milk ) and put the mix in the oven at very low temperature for 6 hours. by trial and error you will find the correct temperature setting for your oven for the perfect DOI ! If it's not setting up the temperature a bit.
Let me break the myth about GAMCHA
BANDHA DOI. Any DOI, if it does
not set firm, put it on a gamcha like
cloth and hang over a sink to drain for 6 hours. There you go, enjoy your
Gamcha Bandha Doi - nice and firm.

Sweet Lassi - yogurt drink
Ingredients:
1 scoop
Ice
2 scoops
Yoghurt
1 splash
Lemon juice
8 handfuls
Sugar
3 pinches
Salt
1 squirt
Rosewater
Mixing instructions:
Mix them all together in a blender.
The measurements are not precise because you oughtta just throw everything
in to taste. This is mainly here to help out those, like myself, who tried
making the Sweet Lassi with the other Sweet Lassi recipe, and found out
that it was pretty bad - watery, not sweet, et cetera.
Ice is the key.

A TRUE story - believe it or not.
A man walked up to a counter in a convenience
store with robbery
on the mind. When he reached into
his pocket to get his gun he
realized he had left it in the car.
So instead, he grabbed the
clerk by his shirt and threatened
him with a pocket knife. He
demanded and received the money from
the cash register.
As the crook ran toward the door to
make his escape, he fell down
on his knife. Witnesses saw him running
out of the store with the
knife in his upper arm. They also
indicated that the robber tried
to get into his car, but that he had
left it locked and running.
The robber found a large stone and
busted out his window and
proceeded to drive off only to have
his car stall out.
At that point the robber exited the
car with the bag of money in
one hand and the gun in the other.
He proceeded to walk toward
witnesses with the idea of trying
to steal a car to make his
escape. But, within moments after
getting out of his own car he
heard sirens and saw a police car
coming around the corner. He
then decided to make his escape on
foot. In his run for freedom,
he entered the back door of a building
behind the convenience
store. It turned out the building
was the police station. Police
were surprised as the robber entered
the station with a gun in
one hand a bag in the other and a
knife stuck in one arm. Police
immediately apprehended this man.
He was rushed to the hospital
with a police guard and later booked
for his crime.

A grandmother is giving directions
to her grown grandson, who is coming to
visit with his wife:
"You come to the front door of the
apartment complex. I am in apartment 14T.
There is a big panel at the door.
With your elbow push button 14T. I will
buzz you in. Come inside, the elevator
is on the right. Get in, and with your elbow hit 14. When you get out I
am on the left. With your elbow, hit my doorbell".
"Grandma, that sounds easy, but why
am I hitting all these buttons with my
elbow?"
"You mean, ....you're coming empty
handed"?

A boy at gurukul was assigned a paper
on childbirth and asked his
parents, "How was I born?"
"Well batcha..." said the slightly
prudish parent, "the stork
brought you to us."
"Oh," said the boy. "Well, how did
you and pitasri get born?"
he asked.
"Oh, the stork brought us too."
"Well how were grandpita and grandmata born?" he persisted.
"Well my batcha, the stork brought
them too!" said the parent,
....by now starting to squirm a little
in the Lazy Boy recliner.
Several days later, the boy handed
in his paper to the
teacher who read with confusion the
opening sentence:
"This report has been very difficult
to write because it appears there
hasn't been a natural childbirth in
my family for three generations."

While making rounds, a doctor points

this?"
"Well," ponders the student a while,
"I suppose I'd limp too."

Humor Promotes Healing
Source: http://www.cnn.com/2001/HEALTH/02/13/funnyhealing.ap/index.html
CHICAGO, ILLINOIS, February 13, 2001:
If it tickles your funny bone then
chances are it will reduce the stress
in your life and leave your immune
system to do its part. This premise
has been supported by both the field of
psychiatry and biobehavioral sciences.
A recent publication with research
data appeared in the Journal of the
American Medical Association. Skin welt
sizes were compared in patients suffering
from severe allergies after one
group watched a video featuring Charlie
Chaplin and the other group listened to a documentary on weather. Needless
to say, the Japanese study confirmed a reduction in skin welt size in the
group watching the famed comedian.

Live long and prosper - and lighten
up.
