Auspicious Nectar (Nimaihuset News Bulletin): Radical Change In Siddhanta's Musical Art: Tama Guna Rock'n'Roll!

On his upcoming CD "Nimai", Nimaihuset's classic guitar equilibrist Siddhanta das is aspiring for a position on the Hare Krishna Top 10 list with a song called "On the road again". Lyrics: "On the road to nowhere, riding my motorcycle", strange murmuring about seeing some bald guys with instruments on the way back, and the Maha Mantra from 1:39. Genre: Enlightened tama guna.

Poem on Janmastami by Subhal Das

Thought I would post this to celebrate this wonderful day.

Much Love and humble Obeisances to all who read it...

Ever Eternal Child

Enchanting hue of Your skin

Mysterious the color

When it comes to Kings of Hearts

You only no other

How sublime Your game

Ever Eternal child

Radiating Love true

Powerful yet mild

Silken ringlets of Your hair

Dark as the midnight sky

Rose like bloom upon Your cheeks

Crowning Your innocent smile

Grace to see You in my heart

Just a second or more

Forever in joy i'll sing and dance

My Lord I do adore

Bright jewels upon Your chest

Accent Your delicate skin

Lovingly Mother Yasoda dressed

You with cloth and pin

If I could grasp a moment with You

No longer to dwell in despair

But in turn sing Your name

Wherever I may fare

Charming are Your Lotus Feet

Blessed where they touch down

Treading the earth of Vrindavan

Make that dust my crown

If I could see beyond this world

And glimpse Your Lotus eyes

Be captivated forever more

Within Your Spiritual sky

Jai Sri Krishna!

Sri Krishna Janmastami!

The Science of Self Realization (Srila Prabhupada)

Excerpt from The Science of Self Realization

There is a misconception that the Krishna consciousness movement represents the Hindu religion. In fact, however, Krishna consciousness is in no way a faith or religion that seeks to defeat other faiths or religions. [–] Sometimes Indians both inside and outside of India think that we are preaching the Hindu religion, but actually we are not. [–] The Krishna consciousness movement has nothing to do with the Hindu religion or any system of religion."

– His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada

Everything will be purified (Srila Sridhar Maharaj)

Excerpt from Awakening to the Absolute

Srila Sridhar Maharaj

The tent: Inverted time record

Tent-strops, cherries and plums

Kvarnby, 7 km south of the Temple. Amazing and beautiful fruit garden. Plums, cherries, grapes, redcurrants, raspberries... Putting the tent up took Sevananda and Siddhanta a long, unfocused 2,5 hours, and taking it down, equally unfocused, something like 1,5. 

A deal was made with the renters to come and pick fresh, ecological, supersweet, hi-quality plums for the Sri Radhastami celebration – it's Srimati Radharani's favourite. Donating plums to Srimati Radharani on Her appearance day... Congratulations.

5 days of lectures, kirtan, sadhusanga and sun

Psychedelic drugs and enlightenment

The human body is a wondrous gift. A bio machine whose technological complexity increases the more in microcosmos we dive.

The five senses have departments in our body, instruments with which we experience the World of five elements, this gross physical reality. The human body has many  layers, all from skin, muscle and bones to blood veins, lymph system, the nerve system bordering to the subtle meridians and astral energy centers of the psychological body.

Mystics from all traditions around the world describe the human body to be a great blessing. A vehicle that allows us to gain full awareness of being, or enlightenment.

To have a human body means a life of trials and tests designed for the individual benefit of everyone. Our choices in life will either bring us to evolve towards a higher state of consciousness or devolve into confined limited experiences.
