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)

TRANSLATION
And whoever, at the end of his life,
quits his body, remembering Me alone, at once attains My nature. Of this
there is no doubt.
PURPORT by Srila A.C. Bhaktivedanta
Swami Prabhupada.
In this verse the importance of Krsna
consciousness is stressed. Anyone who quits his body in Krsna consciousness
is at once transferred to the transcendental nature of the Supreme Lord.
The Supreme Lord is the purest of the pure. Therefore anyone who is constantly
Krsna conscious is also the purest of the pure. The word smaran ("remembering")
is important. Remembrance of Krsna is not possible for the impure soul
who has not practiced Krsna consciousness in devotional service. Therefore
one should practice Krsna consciousness from the very beginning of life.
If one wants to achieve success at the end of his life, the process of
remembering Krsna is essential. Therefore one should constantly, incessantly
chant the maha-mantra--Hare Krsna, Hare Krsna, Krsna Krsna, Hare Hare/
Hare Rama, Hare Rama, Rama Rama, Hare Hare. Lord Caitanya has advised that
one be as tolerant as a tree (taror iva sahisnuna). There may be so many
impediments for a person who is chanting Hare Krsna. Nonetheless, tolerating
all these impediments, one should continue to chant Hare Krsna, Hare Krsna,
Krsna Krsna, Hare Hare/ Hare Rama, Hare Rama, Rama Rama, Hare Hare, so
that at the end of one's life one can have the full benefit of Krsna consciousness.

"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 COURAGE OF THE GURKAS
The gurkas were used in the last war, the gulf war, like a secret force. The British general came to the Gurkas and said, "We want you to go behind enemy lines." We're going to drop you from 200 metres from an airplane into enemy territory. How many of you volunteer?" Generally the Gurkas are fearless, so they all raise their hands. This time only fifty percent raised their hands. The British general was shocked. "You're afraid of Saddam Hussein and his men?" He went away and was completely bewildered. "I never saw a Gurka say no to a fight." So the next morning he came back and said, "You have to explain yourselves. Why have only fifty percent of you agreed to be dropped for 200 metres behind enemy lines?" So one Gurka raised his hand and said, "I do not think I can survive a fall from 200 metres in the air." "No no," the British general said, "We're going to drop you with a parachute!" Then all the Gurkas raised their hands. The British general then really had faith in them. At least fifty percent were willing to jump out of a plane into enemy territory without a parachute. These are warriors.

Body & Mind - Srila Bhaktivinoda
Thakura (from his Sri Chaitanya Shikshamrita)
The secondary rules are of three types: rules regarding self; rules regarding society; rules regarding the afterlife. Rules regarding the self are of two categories: those for the body and those for the mind. Those rules to keep a person's body properly nourished so that they can remain healthy are the bodily rules. Such things as regulated drinking, eating, sleeping, exercise, and for sickness, prescriptions for cure, are bodily rules.
If people do not follow these rules,
they cannot pass through life smoothly.
If they do not follow the mental rules,
their power of realization, concentration, imagination, contemplation and
judgment will be weak and will not properly function. There will be no
advancement in arts and sciences, and moreover one will not be able to
take the mind from material thoughts and direct it to thoughts of God.
As a result, sinful thoughts and atheistic attitude will dominate the mind;
finally a person will become no better than a beast. Therefore these bodily
and mental rules are very necessary for success in human life.
[Shri Chaitanya Shikshamrta]

The following morning walk conversation
is very interesting.
Hrdayananda: There's another
argument.
Prabhupada: Eh?
Hrdayananda: Another argument.
Prabhupada: Yes.
Hrdayananda: Many times, the
professors, they say that "If God, if god were actually all, all-good and
all-perfect, then when He created us, we would also be all-good..."
Prabhupada: Yes. But you are
contaminated. You are all-good. That's a fact. Because you are part and
parcel of God, you cannot be bad. But you are contaminated.
Hrdayananda: Well, they say
that "Even, even if I have the potential...
Even to say that I ha..."
Prabhupada: You have got the
potential. That's it.
Hrdayananda: But if I say that...
If I, I'm originally in the spiritual world, but even the potential to
fall down is an imperfection in the creation.
Prabhupada: No, potential does
not fall down. Just like a child has got the potency to pass the M.A. examination.
So he has to be educated. If you don't educate him, he'll remain a foolish
child. So we are educating to develop that potentiality.
nitya-siddha krsna-prema sadhya
kabhu naya
sravanadi-suddha-citte karaye udaya
They, that potentiality is eternal. God is eternal. We are eternal. Our relationship, eternal. Everything is eternal. But because we are small, minute fragments, sometimes we fall down.
Hrdayananda: They say, "God
should have, God should have created us so that we..."
Prabhupada: Why you should
dictate God? God has created perfectly. He has given you independence.
You fall down. It is your fault. God has made you perfect, given you independence.
But if you misuse your independence, you fall down. Just like government
gives everyone opportunity. Why do you become criminal and go to the jail?
That is your fault.
Hrdayananda: They say that
God should have created us so that we...
Prabhupada: Why "Should have
created"? He has created already perfect. Because you are perfect, therefore
you have got the independence to misuse. You are not a dead stone. That
is perfection. Ye yatha mam prapadyante. You can go anywhere, sarva-ga.
You can go to the Vaikuntha. Yanti deva-vrata devan. You can go to the
higher planets. You can go to the hell. When you go to the hell, it is
your choice. God has given you all perfection. Purnam idam purnam adah
purnat purnam udacyate, everything is complete, perfect, and because you
are perfect, you have got the independence. But misusing that independence,
you are imperfect. Again, reviving your independence, you can become perfect,
although you are imperfect now. That is Krsna consciousness movement. Krsna
consciousness movement means raising the imperfect to the perfect platform.
That is Krsna consciousness. Other fools, they say, "We are perfect now."
In a fallen condition also, they're thinking perfect. That is maya. Asurim
raksasim caiva mohinim prakrtim sritah. Krsna has made you perfect. There
is no doubt about it. Just like some of our students. All of a sudden,
they deviate, go away. So what is that? Our movement is imperfect, or he's
imperfect?
Hrdayananda: He's imperfect.
Prabhupada: He's imperfect.
Our movement is perfect. But he becomes imperfect by his misuse of independence.
He thinks that "This is nice," and goes to hell. What can be done? That
independence is there. That is perfectness.
Hrdayananda: So in other words,
these, uh, the people that argue like that, they, they actually are lazy.
They don't want to surrender to God. Then they blame God.
Prabhupada: Yes. Because they
have become imperfect, therefore they are blaming God. "God is good;" they
forget this. That is their imperfectness. One side, they say, "God is good."
Still, they're blaming God. What is this nonsense? If He's God, God is
good, how can you blame Him? God is good; in all circumstances, He's good.
That is the meaning of good. Good does not mean that one time you are good
and next time you are bad.
Karandhara: Just like the criminals
blame the government for being in the prison house.
Prabhupada: Yes. Yes, that
is natural. Yes. Surasu-saksimat.
Surasu-saksimat. In the liquor shop
so there was some trouble. So he went to court. He went to court. So the
court asked him, "Where is your witness?" So he brought one witness, drunkard.
You see? Surasu-saksimat. So that is maya, aham mameti, misusing power
and blaming God, "Why God...?" God has made everything. Just like here.
It is made not to move. Stay. But we are better than this. Is it not? It
cannot move. So God has made this also. But because we can move, we are
better than this. And if, if, if they say that "God, why he has made me
to commit mistake?" This rascal does not understand that that is freedom.
You, why don't you take the right one? God
says, "This is right." Sarva-dharman
parityajya mam ekam saranam vraja. Why don't you take it? And still, how
you can say God is bad? What is the argument?
Umapati: Well, the argument
is that if God is so all-powerful, why does He even let me fall?
Prabhupada: Eh?
Umapati: If God is so powerful,
why does He let me fall. Why doesn't He save me, save me from my own foolishness.
Why doesn't He...?
Prabhupada: Yes, He's saving
you, but you don't carry His order.
Umapati: Yes, but it's not
recognized.
Prabhupada: Yes. Just like
I say, "Chant sixteen rounds." If you do not do it. What can I do? That
is your fault.
Satsvarupa: If God were to
force us, there'd be no love.
Prabhupada: Eh? No, no. Force
is not good. Force is there. Force is there. The maya is another force.

CHEPURIS
1 cup whole wheat flour (or 1/2 cup
whole wheat flour water 1/2 cup white flour)
1/2 t. salt
water
ghee for deep-frying
2 T. ghee solids, ghee or butter
Prepare dough as for puris, and then fry in the same way. Chepuris are very delicious and tasty because they combine the wholesome taste of chapatis with the delicacy of puris.
or alternatively.......
PURIS
2 cups white flour
21/2 T. ghee or ghee solids
little over 1/2 cup water
ghee for deep-frying
Add ghee solids to flour and mix with
hands until flour is consistency of coarse corn meal. Add water a little
at a time; keep mixing. Knead dough about 10 to 15 minutes. Cover with
a dampened cloth and let sit about 1/2 hour. For rolling, rub a little
ghee on a table top and onto rolling pin. Pinch off bits of dough into
balls 11/2” in diameter. Roll into round, flat, thin puris. It takes a
little practice to get them perfectly round.
Place puri in hot ghee. Push it to
the bottom and bathe it in ghee. It will rise up and puff up, like a balloon.
Turn over quickly; remove with tongs. To drain them nicely, prepare in
advance a cardboard box lined with paper toweling. Stand puris up in long
lines to drain. Puris are traditionally served plain, but they may be sprinkled
with confectioner’s sugar or spread with chopped walnuts, raisins and honey.
They are delicious served with fruit chutneys or with wet cauliflower and
potatoes.

There once were four young brahmin
boys who had just undergone samavartana - graduation from gurukula. Three
of them were proud of their learning, but considered the other one to be
a dullard.
As the three began to boast of their prowess they came upon some bones in the forest.
The first among them said, "These are the bones of the lion, king of the jungle, by my prowess I can reconstruct the creature to his former skeletal form."
The second said, "That's nothing, why by my learning I can reconstruct the sinus, flesh and fur"
The third with arrogance said, "My dear friends, but I can breath the vital prana force back into the beast."
As he was just about to do this the brahmin boy the others considered a dullard spoke, "Prabhus, I wouldn't do that....."
"Ah be quiet, what do you know, simply chanting that Hare Krishna mantra day and night?" the three said simultaneously.
When the VASTLY learned brahmin boy
breathed the prana life into the lion, the lion gave a mighty roar, and
pounced on and ate all the three brahmin boys on the ground.
This was witnessed by the fourth brahmin
boy who took shelter of the Lord's name up a tree.

A guy wanders into a diner looking
for a bite to eat. He sits at the counter, next to another gentleman who
is nonchalantly reading the paper. The guy orders up and eats his meal.
Upon finishing, he's still pretty hungry and notices that the gent reading
the paper has an uneaten bowl of chilli in front of him, which he hasn't
touched and is growing cold.
"Say - you gonna eat that?" he asks.
"Nope - help yourself" replies the
guy reading the paper. "Thanks!" The guy chows down the chilli and just
as he's reaching the bottom of the bowl he finds a dead mouse laying under
the chilli. He immediately chucks it all back up and into the bowl.
His neighbour across the table looks
at him sympathetically and says:
"You know, the *same* thing happened
to me!"
MORAL:
Having realized that this world is
a place of suffering (dukhälayam ashäshvatam Bhagavad Gita 8:15.)
it's our duty to inform others.

Three Pastors in the south were having
lunch in a diner.
One of them said, "You know, since summer started I've been having trouble with them flying bats in my loft and attic at church. I've tried everything, but nothing seems to scare them off.
Another pastor said "Yes, me too. I've got hundreds living in my belfry and in the narthex attic. I've even had the place fumigated, and they won't go away!"
The third pastor said, "I baptized
all mine, made them members of the church, and they haven't seen one back
since!"

A young college student had stayed
up all night studying for his zoology test the next day. As he entered
the classroom, he saw ten stands with ten birds over each bird and only
the legs showing.
He sat right in the front row because he wanted to do the best job possible. The professor announced that the test would be to look at each set of bird legs and give the common name, habitat, genus, species, and identifying characteristic.
The student looked at each set of bird legs. They all looked the same to him. He began to get upset. He had stayed up all night studying, and now he had to identify birds by their legs. The more he thought about it, the madder he got. Finally, he couldn't stand it anymore.
He went to the professor's desk and said "What a stupid test! How could anyone tell the difference between birds by looking at their legs?" With that the student threw his test on the professor's desk and walked out the door.
The professor was surprised. The class was so big that he didn't know every student's name, so as the student reached the door, the professor called out "One moment, son, what's your name?"
The enraged student pulled up his pant
legs and said "You guess buddy! You guess!"

All evening long four cardplayers
had been pestered by a busybody who commented on everyone's hand and style
of play. When he went out of the room for a moment, they hit on a plan
to silence him.
"Let's make up a game no one ever heard
of," one of them said. "Then he'll have to shut up."
The busybody returned. The dealer
tore two cards in half and gave them to the man on his left. He tore the
corners off three cards and spread them out in front of the man opposite
him. Then he tore five cards in quarters, gave 15 pieces to the man on
his right and kept five himself.
"I have a mingle," he said. "I'll
bet a dollar."
"I have a snazzle," the next man announced.
"I'll raise you a dollar."
The third man folded without betting, and the fourth, after much deliberation, said, "I've got a farfle. I'll raise you two dollars."
The busybody shook his head vehemently. "You're crazy," he said. " You're never going to beat a mingle and a snazzle with a lousy farfle!"
MORAL:
Don't gamble.
Gamblers are cheats - Sri Krishna
says, in Bhagavad Gita 10:36.
A fool is revealed when he opens his
mouth.

When I introduced my friend Wes to
the proprietor of my favorite Chinese Vegetarian restaurant, the owner
greeted him enthusiastically, saying, "Welcome, West."
Wes shook his hand and smiled despite the mispronounced name.
All through the meal, the proprietor checked to make sure "West" was pleased. Finally, Wes corrected him, "It's Wes, not West."
"West, not West?" asked the confused man.
Wes smiled patiently and nodded. "Yes," he said, "Wes, no ' t'."
"Ah," said the proprietor and walked
away with our teapot.

Dukhiram, Sridam(a) and Balaram are
working on a very high scaffolding.
Suddenly, Dukhiram falls off. He is
killed instantaneously. After the ambulance leaves with his body, Sri and
Bal realize they'll have to inform Dukhi's wife.
Sri says he's good at this sort of
sensitive stuff, so he volunteers to do the job.
After two hours he returns, carrying
six-sweet-samosas. "So did you tell her?" asks Bal.
"Yep", replies Sri.
"Say, where did you get the six-sweet-samosas?"
Sri informs Bal. "She gave it to me."
"WHAT??" exclaims Bal, "you just told
her, her husband died and she gave you six-sweet-samosas??"
"Sure," Sri says.
"WHY?" asks Bal.
"Well," Sri continues, "when she answered
the door, I asked her, 'are you Dukhi's widow?
'Widow?', she said, 'no, no, you're
mistaken, I'm not a widow!' So I said:
"I'll bet you six-sweet-samosas you ARE!"

who, in his youth, professed a desire to become a "great" writer.
When asked to define "great", he said "I want to write stuff that the whole world will read, stuff that people will react to on a truly emotional level, stuff that will make them scream, cry, wail, howl in pain, desperation and anger!"

Weird News:
MOHANPUR, India - "I take you, Rover,
to be my awfully wedded husband, "could have been the words spoken during
a wedding ceremony of a young Indian girl and a stray dog.
Anju, 4, had a string of bad luck
including several serious illnesses, falling in a pond and burning her
hand in the kitchen. An astrologer told the girl's father that "the evil
effect of Saturn could be countered by marrying the child to a dog." All
elements of a traditional Hindu wedding ceremony were practiced, including
the girl garlanding the dog as if it were a groom. The Villagers in turn
helped the dog put a garland around the bride with its paws. It was not
mentioned whether the happy couple would be living with the bride's parents
or in the dog house.
That's rough (ruff ruff)
