On-line Bhagavad Gita As It Is:
http://www.prabhupada.com/bg/versus.cgi?ix
---------------------*-----***-------***-----*-----------------
"When we stop blaming others for the
pain they seem to cause us
and understand our role in causing
our own karma and when we see
our powerlessness against the material
energy we will become more
dependent on Krishna. Then the material
energy will become spiritual
in our hands. Instead of dragging
on further into material life,
our happiness and distress will clearly
be in Krishna consciousness.
Rather than causing our pain our predicaments
and perplexities will
provide us another chance to meditate
on Krishna and that will make
us happy." (Satswarup dasa Goswami.
BTG November-December 1997. page 11.)

THE CRIPPLED MAN AND THE PROSTITUTE
Once upon a time, there lived a crippled
man. This man was married,
but he was attracted to the prostitute
that lived in the house opposite.
One day his wife saw him looking very
morose. "What's wrong, my
dear husband?" she inquired.
"Even though I am married to you,"
he replied, "I am attracted to the
prostitute. I am asking you to
make an arrangement for me."
So being a very chaste and obedient
wife, she wished to fulfil her husband's
desire, and she began going
to the prostitute's house when no-one
was home, and clean there.
After a while this prostitute noticed,
"Someone is cleaning my house.
I am not asking anyone to do this,
so I wonder who it could be?" So
one day the prostitute stayed back,
and after some time the crippled
man's wife came and began cleaning.
The prostitute approached her
and said, "Why are you doing this?"
She replied, "My husband is
very attracted to you, and he wants
to meet with you, but we are
very poor, and cannot afford to pay.
So instead I am offering some
service. The prostitute said,
"Very well, send him over tonight."
That night the prostitute prepared
a sumptuous feast of rice, dal,
sabji etc, and she served a portion
of each of these preparations
onto two plates, one gold and one
silver. When the man arrived,
she requested him to partake of the
food she had prepared him.
"Please take from the silver plate.,"
she told him. After he had
finished all the food on the silver
plate, the prostitute told him
to take from the gold plate.
When he had finished, the prostitute
inquired from the man, "Now, did you
taste the difference?"
Surprised, the man replied, "What
difference? These are exactly
the same preparations, only served
on different plates. You must
be crazy!" "No, you are the
crazy one!" the prostitute returned.
"You are thinking that there is more
enjoyment in my body than
there is in your wife's body, but
actually the ingredients are
the same. Only the covering
is different."
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
To illustrate the foolishness of becoming
a blind follower, there
is a story about the death of Sargal
Singh. Sargal Singh was very
much loved by a merchant, and so when
Sargal Singh died, the merchant
shaved his head and wore dark clothes.
When another man came into
the merchant's shop, he asked who
had died. "Sargal Singh has died,"
said the merchant. The visitor
did not want to seem ignorant and so
did not ask who Sargal Singh was,
but he also shaved his head and
wore dark clothes. Other people
in town began to follow, not
wanting to appear ignorant.
When anyone asked who had died, they
replied, "Sargal Singh has died."
When a minister of the king saw
so many citizens in mourning he also
wore dark clothes and shaved
his head. But when the king
saw this, he inquired, "Why are you
mourning, and for whom?" "Sargal
Singh," the minister replied.
The king asked, "Who is that?"
When the minister couldn't answer
the king told him to find out.
The minister then inquired and
inquired and finally reached the merchant.
"Who is Sargal Singh?"
The merchant replied, "Sargal Singh
was my donkey, whom I loved
very much."
MORAL: Blind following is condemned
here.

VATICAN CITY 12-13TH MARCH 2000 AD.
http://members.xoom.com/hknetworks/pope-and-sin.htm
His Holiness the Supreme Pontiff Pope
John Paul of the Catholic
Church has admited responsibility
for, and asked forgiveness for
the sins of the Catholic Church over
the past 2000 years.
One of the seven categories he asked
forgiveness for was the forced
conversion of natives in various continents,
where the church
propergated colonialism, etc. He also
asked that forgiveness be
given for sins comminted against other
cultures by the colonialists.
I saw this on New Zealand's TVOne Network
News at 18:00 hrs, and
again on NZTV Three at 10:30pm again
on the 13th of March 2000.
http://onenews.co.nz/World/2000/03/13/00017437.htm
American Broadcastng Corporation (ABC):
http://abcnews.go.com/sections/world/DailyNews/pope000312.html
BBC - British Broadcasting Corporation:
http://newsvote.bbc.co.uk/hi/english/talking_point/debates/european/newsid_673000/673304.stm
To me this is a major step in the re-establishment
of Vedic
culture in the modern world.
For so many years the Catholic Church
has sponsored the forced
conversion, misrepresentation of historical
events and doctoring
of religious scriptures to futher
their own ends in the spreading
of Christianity in the new world (the
colonies - USA, South
America, India, Africa, Australia,
New Zealand, etc., etc).
Thousands have been harmed, tortured,
and even killed in the name
of Christianity that uphold the ten
commandments as its epitaph.
Cultures have been purposefully blasphemed,
misprepresented,
mispresented, ruined, or near removed,
being replaced by church
sponsored zelots waving their Christian
banner.
There is now a rennaisance of presentations
of reality around
the world revealing the herasies that
have been done.
Teachings presented by unscrupulous
persons such as the church
sponsored Max Muller, a person who's
books are now found and
taught in every university world wide,
even in India.
Now let it be declared boldly who are
the true representatives
of Vedik culture. Some of the great
proponants that I know of
are; Srila Bhaktivinoda Thakur (Kedarnath
Datta), Srila
Bhaktisiddhanta Saraswati Thakur Prabhupada
(Siddhanta Saraswati),
Srila A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada
- they stand bodly
among their volumes of works, purely
chaste to the Vedik view.

A deaf man used to call his wife.
She would reply, "I am coming,"
but the deaf man could not hear her.
He used to think, "This woman
is deaf." In actuality, he was
deaf, but he accused her of being
deaf.
MORAL: This is similar to the mass
of people who are brainwashed by
material illusion and yet who accuse
the Krsna conscious persons of
being brainwashed.

Potatoes With Black Pepper (Bengali
aloo)
Serves 4
5 medium potatoes
4 tbls veg. oil
3/4 tsp salt
1-1 1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper
(a slightly coarse grind is best)
2 tbls very finely chopped fresh coriander
or parsley, optional
Boil unpeeled potatoes and allow to
cool completely. (Refrigerated day
old boiled potatoes work very well
for this dish.) Peel potatoes and
cut into 3/4 inch dice. Heat
oil in a frying pan over medium
flame. When hot put in potatoes and
stir around for a minute. Sprinkle
in salt and mix gently. Cover and
cook over medium-low flame for about
5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Now add black pepper and mix
gently. Cook, uncovered, for another
few minutes over a medium flame,
stirring now and then and allowing
them to brown slightly. Sprinkle
in fresh coriander. Mix and serve
hot.

A young boy had just gotten his driving
permit. He asked his
father, who was a minister, if they
could discuss his use of
the car.
His father said to him, "I'll make
a deal with you. You bring
your grades up, study your bible a
little, and get your hair
cut, then we will talk about it."
A month later the boy came back and
again asked his father if
they could discuss his use of the
car.
His father said, "Son, I'm real proud
of you. You have brought
your grades up, you've studied your
bible diligently, but you
didn't get hair cut!"
The young man waited a moment and replied,
"You know dad, I've
been thinking about that. You know
Samson had long hair, Moses
had long hair, Noah had long hair,
and even Jesus had long
hair."
His father replied, "Yes son, and they
walked everywhere they
went!"

The new priest is nervous about hearing
confessions, so he asks an
older priest to sit in on his sessions.
The new priest hears a
couple confessions, then the old priest
asks him to step out of the
confessional for a few suggestions.
The old priest suggests, "Cross you
arms over your chest, and rub
your chin with one hand." The new
priest tries this. The old priest
suggests, "Try saying things like,
"I see, yes, go on, and I
understand. How did you feel
about that?'"
The new priest says those things, trying them all out.
The old priest then says to him, "Now,
don't you think that's a
little better than slapping your knee
and saying 'No kidding, then
what happened next?'

"Do you believe in life after death?"

A police officer in a small town stopped
a motorist who was
speeding down Main Street.
"But officer," the man said, "I can
explain."
"Just be quiet!!!" snapped the officer.
"...or I'm going to let you cool
off in jail until the chief gets back."
"But officer, I just wanted to say...."
"And I said KEEP QUIET! Now
you're going to jail!"
A few hours later, the officer checked
up on his prisoner and said,
"Lucky for you that the chief's at
his daughter's wedding. He'll be in
a good mood when he gets back."
"Don't count on it," said the man
in the cell. "I'm the groom!"

Two men met at a bus stop and struck
up a conversation. One of
them kept complaining of family problems.
Finally, the other man said, "You think
you have family problems?
Listen to my situation. A few years
ago I met a young widow with a
grown-up daughter and we got married.
Later my father married my
stepdaughter. That made my stepdaughter
my stepmother and my
father became my stepson. Also, my
wife became mother -in-law of
her father-in-law.
"Then the daughter of my wife, my stepmother,
had a son. This boy
was my half-brother because he was
my father's son, but he was
also the son of my wife's daughter
which made him my wife's
grandson. That made me the grandfather
of my half-brother.
"This was nothing until my wife and
I had a son. Now the half-sister
of my son, my stepmother, is also
the grandmother.
"This makes my father the brother-in-law
of my child, whose
stepsister is my father's wife. I'm
my stepmother's brother-in-law,
my wife is her own child's aunt, my
son is my father's nephew and
I'm My own grandfather! And you think
you have family problems!"

Reminds me of when Suhotra maharaj
was in Melbourne circa 1987.
There was some discussion regarding
some estranged matches and
relationships that had been made at
Murwillumbah around the time,
where one person had left one relationship
to join another and
there were children in families by
several fathers.
Disapprovingly Suhotra maharaj made
the comment how he could
follow the geneological tables of
the Mahabharata quite easily,
but Murwillumbah, well........

Banta Singh was in court charged with
parking his car in

The judge asked him if he had anything to say in his defence.

One day, a girl walk to her mother
and look at her mother's hair and
sadly said: "Why are some of
your hair white mom?"
The mother replied, "Well, every time
that you do something wrong and
make me cry or unhappy, one of my
hairs turns white.
The girl thought about this revelation
a while, and then said, "Momma,
how come *all* of grandma's hairs
are white?"
