(I don't know if this is the right place for these comments, but there are questions for Hari at the end) Interesting topic. While God is strictly speaking neither male nor female, due to human forms and animal forms being creations of God (God existed before male and female forms existed), God may ...

Pamu I guess different zones and temples at diferent times had different types of leadership. I only had experience of Ramesvara's zone and also a few other temples I visited when I was traveling around the U.S for 4 months. I visited Puerto Rico for a few weeks and the temple president there was al...

On behalf of all the gung ho rah rahs I have to say, that all of us, even those who say otherwise, must have been a little bit gung ho rah rah. That was the nature of our society. We thought we knew best. :roll: I didn't just say "gung ho rah rah", the full phrase was "gung ho rah ra...

Re: What was the point?

I am sure pretty many of us have been either directly or indirectly involved with Iskcon. I am quite curious to hear your stories. What got you interested? Why did you leave? What do you think was the point or the reason why you dedicated your life to it? Things like that. What? Nobody wants to tel...

Many of those who come to this site, I am starting to see, are new to me and are not aware of the last seven years of my presentations. Without entering into a thread of explanations which are far too broad and demanding for me to handle, let me simply offer that I have a very different way of seei...

When it comes to the use of the language and conceptulization for modern day varnashrama, or of the material side of varnashrama, I think you hit the nail on the head with your post. Brilliant! Although you also wrote this I see the present value of varnasrama as a psychological tool to dealing with...

I dunno Kulaji, you may be right. But I don't think you can find anywhere in sastra where a ksatriya manages a business, thats vaisya activity in me 'umble opinion.

What exactly do you see as a ksatriya role in a community where there is nothing to manage or administer outside of people's own businesses, or a temple? temple president should be a kshatriya type, while temple board should be mainly brahmanas. in every community (I currently live in one and know ...

I would have to disagree with you about the need in identifying people as belonging to a certain varna. What value or use does that have? If you think like that, than please stop using the term varnashrama when you describe your social concepts, because it is very misleading. Varna divisions are RE...

Hi Kula ji I would have to disagree with you about the need in identifying people as belonging to a certain varna. What value or use does that have? A varnashrama community cannot function in the modern age like a mini-state unto itself. There cannot be any command structure. It cannot work because ...

The bewildered spirit soul, under the influence of the three modes of material nature, thinks himself to be the doer of activities, which are in actuality carried out by nature. I am seated in everyone's heart, and from Me come remembrance, knowledge and forgetfulness. One who can see that all acti...
