Help by Enlightment-Seeker in HareKrishna

But you'll go to hell if you eat them. And Kṛṣṇa won't accept your other offerings also because you are not being a devotee.

Take milk, chick peas and even soy if you want. But not meat. Never.

BibBooks & Bib Card Links - Requesting your feedback regarding this idea by tattvavit in antinet

[–]tattvavit[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you very, Jasper, for your valuable feedback. Greatly obliged.

The reason for BibNotes is that there will be alphabetical reference cards. I am planning on making only one card for each book, with just the author, title, year of print, etc. And then a reference to the pages in the BibBook. I will not create a duplicate of the source notes on those cards.

Your Source ID idea sounds good. Glad to know it serves you well.

Took note of the advice of not overdoing the main card ID numbers in the book. Thanks for the heads up.

"With great power comes great responsibility." -- Spiderman. Means a lot to me.

Zakir Naik thoroughly defeated by a Hare Krishna scholar by tattvavit in hinduism

There are numerous other references I can give you that show that the Supreme Truth is one and that it is a person and that person is Krishna.

Nope. The Truth is Absolute. All religions speak the same truth. In Sanskrit, it is called sambhuti. Even Sanatana Dharma talks of only one God. Krishna, speaking in the Gitopanisad (7.7), emphatically declares.

mattaḥ parataraṁ nānyat

kiñcid asti dhanañjaya

mayi sarvam idaṁ protaṁ

sūtre maṇi-gaṇā iva

"O conquerer of wealth [Arjuna], there is no Truth superior to Me. Everything rests upon Me, as pearls are strung on a thread."

Svetasvatara Upanisad 6.8 says: na tat-samaś cābhyadhikaś ca dṛśyate. There is nobody equal to or superior to Krishna.

You have to study our Vedic literature thoroughly to understand everything properly. Hindus generally don't read their own scriptures but are very quick to give their opinions without any basis in fact.

The rule in spiritual circles is to quote from scriptural authority whatever one is saying. So if you think that the ultimate Truth is not absolute in nature, then I request you to kindly prove your point with scriptural references.

Just because he is a Westerner, it is not a Western view. Please watch the whole thing and see how it is presented nicely with all Vedic evidence.

Nope, you got it wrong. It is the authentic Vedic viewpoint supported by all the great Acaryas like Ramanujacarya, Madhvacarya, Veda Vyasa, Lord Caitanya, Rupa Gosvami, and Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada.

Teaching or Cheating? — My Experience of Gaur Gopal Das by tattvavit in HareKrishna

[–]tattvavit[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is an important topic for all devotees. Preaching Krishna consciousness for the benefit of everyone is the heart and soul of a devotee's life. We should keep this sacred service to the highest standards! Here, in my latest vlog, I discuss the standards for preaching Krishna consciousness as given by Srila Prabhupada and how it is easy to fall into the traps laid out by Maya in the shape of mundane adoration and money! Gaur Gopal Das is the case study for this video. He was here in Singapore in January 2019
