So one poor boy, he was student in a school, and the teacher's annual ceremony of father's death would be held. So he requested all his student, "What you will give me, contribution?" Formerly the teacher was not taking any salary. But whatever he wanted, the students will bring either from parents' house or by begging. That was the system. The teacher would not charge anything. A brahmana cannot be..., charge anything. So this teacher, the original story, the teacher asked the student for... Somebody said, "I will contribute this cloth," somebody said, "I'll rice," somebody said something, something, something. There was one poor student, he had no means. He was very poor. So when he was asked, so he replied that "I cannot say anything without asking my mother." "All right, you ask your mother and tell me tomorrow." So he asked, "My dear mother, all my class friend has promised the teacher to contribute this, that, this, that. So my turn is there. What shall I promise?" The mother said, "My dear son, we are so poor, we cannot give anything. But if Krsna gives, He is dina-bandhu, the friend of the poor. So if He gives something to you, you can promise." "Oh, where is Krsna? What is His name?" "Now, His name is Dinabandhu, friend of the poor." "Where He is?" "I understand that He is in the forest." So he went to the forest and called, "Dinabandhu brother, Dinabandhu brother, where You?" He began to cry. So Krsna came. When a devotee is very much eager to see Him, Krsna comes. He very is kind. So "Why you are asking?" "My mother... You are Dinabandhu?" "Yes." "So this is my condition, sir. What can I promise?" So He said that "You promise that you will supply yogurt, dahi. You will supply dahi." So he was very much satisfied. And he came to the teacher that "My Dinabandhu brother, dada, He will supply dahi, or yogurt, for whatever you require." "Oh, that's nice. Very good." So on the day of ceremony, so he went to the forest again and called Dinabandhu dada, and He gave him a small pot of dahi, yogurt, a small pot. Oh, he was a child. He did not know. And the..., he brought it to the teacher, "Now, this is my contribution. My Dinabandhu brother has given. So you take." "The hundreds and thousands of people will be given foodstuff and this much dahi?" He became very angry. He became angry, he did not care, and the pot fell down, and the yogurt also fell down. But after some time, when he came, he saw that although the yogurt has fallen down, the pot is full. Then he again dropped it; again it is full. He dropped it; again it is full. Then he could understand it is spiritual. Purnasya purnam adaya purnam eva avasisyate [Iso Invocation]. You take the whole thing; still, the whole thing is there. That is Krsna. Not that because you have taken something, one minus one equal to zero. No. In the spiritual world, one minus one equal to one. And one plus one equal to one. That is called advaya-jnana. There is no duality. Plus and minus, they are two things. But in the spiritual world, either plus or minus, the same. That is to be understood. That is called Absolute, advaya-jnana. >>> Ref.

So I am really trying, despite feeling old and pregnant and totally impatient at times, to correct that. Order is rough. Still getting stuff put away but with a throbbing varicose vein (sexy) I am not that ambitious. Quality time. Bought some glue. Spilled some beans on a plate. Outlined a shark. Go! My son likes crafties, so I got him started on a second bean mosaic. Remember the first? My pet project usually involves shrikand. I had a master plan for perfecting the perfect frozen shrikand recipe, but then I bought a bunch of cherries on sale at Publix and thought, what the hell, let me just wing it. I gathered my ingredients, let my five year old daughter cup up the cherries, and shoved it all in the ice cream maker. The flavor was excellent. The texture….hmmm. Straight out of the ice cream maker, it was very gelato-ish. I put it in the freezer overnite and then it was super hard. Maybe a little too hard. But the taste was divinity. Tart and rich, like the frozen yogurt I had as a kid at Saks with my mom. Not all fat-free skinny assed like the frozen yogurt being sold in chains across America. With both the donuts and frozen shrikand, I need to experiment more. But before that, I should probably get everything put away. Other things cooked this week–lots of buckwheat cake, with cherries thrown in for some extra summer sweetness, artichokes (of course) and a killer stuffed baked potato made with pepper jack cheese. The dinner table tonite will include some fresh organic kale and a lovely green salad. Calcium, iron and folic acid makes for a happy baby in-utero. • Email to a friend • • H.H. Satsvarupa das Goswami: 173:44 A.M.I slept peacefully and woke at 2:00 A.M. My chanting has been very efficient. I've chanted all 16 rounds. I was conscious of each round, chanting it rapidly and hearing the syllables. It was better than most days, with no drowsiness, but it was mechanical in that I didn't delve deeper into the mysteries of the holy name but concentrated on the accumulation of numbers of mantras. I bordered on deeper thinking, and that was good. If I could do this well every day, then I could increase on its quality, but the quantity was fine. Quantity and quality, • Email to a friend • • H.H. Satsvarupa das Goswami: Radha LondonisvaraPrabhupada SmaranamHere are Prabhupada and Sri Sri Radha-Londonisvara in the first Bury Street temple in London. The devotees used to remark how intimate it was because the vyasasana was placed to the right of the Deities and nearby Them. Prabhupada could see Them close up, unlike many temples where his vyasasana is placed at the opposite end of the temple. The devotees would sit crowded and wedged in between Prabhupada and the Deities. The ceiling of the temple was constructed by Syamasundara Prabhu and was shaped like a boat and made of redwood timber from California. Prabhupada gave many strong and intimate lectures from this setting. The acquiring of these Deities is well known. An Indian man had Them in his possession, and he volunteered to give Them to the devotees for their temple. The devotees went to the man's house to see the Deities. Prabhupada loved the Deities and wanted to take them immediately. But the man hesitated. He said there was a little chip on Radharani's finger, and he would fix it first. Prabhupada insisted on taking the Deities, and while the man was still protesting they weren't ready, Prabhupada asked his men disciples to pick up the Deities and carry Them to the car. Thus Prabhupada "absconded" with the Deities. He drove a little away from the house and then stopped and looked at the Deities. He was very satisfied with Them and said the chip on the finger was insignificant. He said Krishna looked like a young innocent boy. Fancy clothes were made for the Deities, and They were installed in a grand ceremony on December of 1969. Here Prabhupada looks fondly and closely at Their Lordships from his nearby perch. On his last visit to London in 1977, shortly before his passing away, he made a special day-visit to see Londonisvara. He had been wearing dark glasses during his whole trip to Bhaktivedanta Manor, but when he came before Radha-Londonisvara he took off his glasses, and the devotees could clearly see the tears running down his cheeks. Surely he had a special relationship with these Deities, which he so forcibly acquired back in his early days of the movement in England. • Email to a friend • • H.H.

Satsvarupa das Goswami: First Hare Krishna AlbumsFree WriteThis is the cover of the first long-playing record made by the Hare Krishna movement. A man named Alan Kallman and his wife came to an evening kirtana at 26 Second Avenue in 1966, and he was impressed with the kirtana. He was a producer of records, and he thought the kirtana had the potential for a selling record. He went to see Swamiji to talk about it. Prabhupada talked over the financial conditions of how much we would get for it, and he was satisfied. I forget the terms of the contract, but we would buy the record at a low price and sell it ourselves. The recording evening was a wonderful event. About a dozen of us went with Prabhupada to a studio around 42nd St. and Times Square. Before we went into the studio, we had a marching harinama around Times Square, with Hayagriva playing our big bass drum and some of us playing karatalas. In the studio a rock band just finished playing, and as the young men came out they asked us what was the name of our group. Hayagriva said we were the "Hare Krishna Chanters." We practiced chanting with the studio engineer. He thought we had too many karatalas, and he reduced them and gave us some sticks to play. Prabhupada played a big wooden khol which a friend of the movement had lent him. After about fifteen minutes of practice, we cut the record just one time through. Prabhupada led with a few prayers and then led the Hare Krishna mantra, and we joined in chorus. It was a thrill singing with him in those conditions. The Hare Krishna mantra lasted about 12 minutes, and then they stopped it. Then they recorded a second side of the record. Prabhupada sang by himself Samsara-dava-nala-lidha-loka (Guruvastakam), with Kirtanananda playing the harmonium as a drone. He also spoke an introduction to the mantra. The engineers played the recording out loud in the studio. We were so happy, we all got up and danced to the music. The artwork was done by an artist at "Happening Records." It had a nice photo of Prabhupada on the back. He liked it and said, "A swami should look philosophical." There was a long delay in Mr. Kallman producing the record, which strained his relationship with Prabhupada, but when it finally came out it was worth it. We sold all the records, and many people got to hear the Hare Krishna mantra. The Beatles got a copy and liked it very much. It was our last commercial record, and a disciple named Dinesh produced the second LP, Vande 'Ham, with a sitar player from the Ali Akbar School of Music. That record featured Srila Prabhupada singing "The Prayer of the Six Goswamis," but nothing ever matched going to Times Square with Srila Prabhupada and recording the first Hare Krishna album. The swami's voice was strong, and his khol–playing was expert. Our chorus was pretty good too. Ravindra Svarupa heard the recording at a friends and thought it was a "timeless experience." • Email to a friend • • Rupa Madhurya das, TX, USA: Rathayatra 2010 - Bharatnatyam Dance - Sanskriti Trivedi - 9/14Bharatnatyam dance performed by Sanskriti Trivedi at the Dallas Rathayatra.

Each group was asked to give four reasons for its recommendation. The men’s group decided that ‘computer’ should definitely be of the feminine gender (‘la computadora’), because: 1. No one but their creator understands their internal logic; 2.The native language they use to communicate with other computers is incomprehensible to everyone else; 3. Even the smallest mistakes are stored in long term memory for possible later retrieval; and 4. As soon as you make a commitment to one, you find yourself spending half your pay check on accessories for it. The women’s group, however, concluded that computers should be Masculine (‘el computador’), because: 1. In order to do anything with them, you have to turn them on; 2. They have a lot of data but still can’t think for themselves; 3. They are supposed to help you solve problems, but half the time they ARE the problem; and 4. As soon as you commit to one, you realize that if you had waited a little longer, you could have gotten a better model… Filed under: Jokes • Email to a friend • • Srila Prabhupada's Letters1967 July 22: "Due to my indifferent health, for the time being I am going to India; and even if I cannot come back, I will work for an American house there so all you transcendental children can come there and learn and be strong enough to preach this cult for the benefit of all the human society." • Email to a friend • • Srila Prabhupada's Letters1969 July 22: "Unless one is highly elevated in spiritual understanding it is risky to discuss Radha Krishna Pastimes.
