What are your plans for the upcoming war?

Visit Billy & Anuttama’s Blog about self reliant, Krishna conscious living.

Dear Hansadutta Prabhu,

PAMHO. AGTSP.

Thank you for your reply. Here are my thoughts on the current situation:

Srila Prabhupada stressed the necessity for his disciples to live a simple living/high thinking lifestyle. This has generally not been implemented.

Such a lifestyle makes its adherents somewhat immune to the consequences of war and economic chaos. more

Who are the Terrorists?

Those who are in the bodily conception of life are terrorists. Those who keep us from making progress to freedom are terrorists. Those who keep us in bondage of the cycle of birth and death are terrorists. There is no fear more terrifying than birth, old age, disease and death.

They are waging a war for and of sense gratification. more

Fruit of the tree

I think of the morning walk conversations as the fruit of the tree of Srila Prabhupada’s teaching. There are the formal translation and purports of his many books, but the conversations are the fruits of that extensive tree of formal translations and purports. The conversations give a taste that is not available in the formality of his translated work.

My opinion, my experience, my realization. The fruit of a tree is the desired and relishable thing.

America must fight demonism

Before, America declared war on communism, then America declared war on terrorism, but the real world threat is demonism.

Srila Prabhupada’s words are all the more relevant now, nearly 40 years since they were first spoken.

Location, location, location

Here is another conversation regarding Pakistan, USA and Russia using India as a battle field.

It starts by Prabhupada questioning the devotees on why America is so fond of Pakistan. Of course no one can properly answer. Prabhupada then goes on to ultimately point out “The leadership of a country may change, but the POLICY of the country never changes.” He then elaborates. more
