The following 52 pages are in this category, out of 52 total.
A
- A devotee may have some demoniac qualities?
- All religious system of the world, they are taken from Vedas, from different parts. Therefore they are not complete. The age of Bible is not more than two thousand years. The age of Veda you cannot calculate, millions and millions of years
- And when you translate the texts that you use, they come from Caitanya?
- As far as I can gather, the self - no-self thing, Buddhism was denying that you're the atman, I think. Could you perhaps say something about that?
B
D
F
- First of all you take your birth where Krsna is now present. Krsna is present in one of the universes. There are innumerable universes. So you take your birth in the next universe, or where Krsna is now. Then you become trained up
- From historical point of view it is copied because Vedas are created by Brahma long, long, many millions, millions of years, and Bible is created two thousand years
H
- How about Kabir (Caitanya Mahaprabhu's teaching is the summary of all Vaisnava-Ramanuja, Ramananda, Madhvacarya, and Visnu Svami, Nimbarka. There are four sampradayas. So Caitanya Mahaprabhu follows everyone. There is no difference much)?
- How did the atman come into being?
- How would we define the word responsibility in Krsna consciousness?
I
- I'm not very familiar with the Hindu scriptures, but I have read some Upanisads, and there's the idea that somehow atman is Brahman? I don't understand that at all, so perhaps you could say something about that?
- If there's another way to go to God. If there is another way?
- In Hindu philosophy, what is the nature of the atman?
- In those early days of colonization they were trying to sail to India by a quick route to get the spices, and it was the same time that Lord Caitanya's movement began. So is that just a coincidence, that they were trying to go to India at the same time?
- In what way (you have to spend or waste gallons of blood before you can convert a person to Krsna consciousness. It is so difficult task)?
- Is it possible for a person to return to the spiritual world without taking initiation from a bona fide spiritual master?
K
L
- Let them say all nonsense. What can I say? Every nonsense will speak something nonsense. How can I check it? There are so many nonsenses; therefore we are trying to make all these nonsense into human beings. That is our program
- Lord Caitanya used to stuff His ears up when anyone would refer to Him as God. He wants to be known as a devotee. But we worship Him as God, in the same line as Radha-Krsna. So how do we understand that?
- Lord Nityananda ever took sannyasa?
S
- So Tukarama, you would say, is teaching the same thing as Caitanya?
- Sometimes the devotees ask if they can take birth again distributing books for you
- Srila Prabhupada, does Lord Caitanya Mahaprabhu also appear every day of Brahma?
- Srila Prabhupada, if the knowledge was handed down by the saintly kings, evam parampara-praptam (BG 4.2), how is it that the knowledge was lost?
- Srila Prabhupada, the dhoti is not important then?
- Srila Prabhupada, what did Bhaktivinoda Thakura mean when he said, "I am going, my work unfinished"?
T
- The atman, there is one to a person, or there is only one atman?
- The person is the atman?
- They have so many people in boxes in the hospitals they are keeping alive. So the big battle is raging whether or not they should pull out the plug?
- Those who are sinful, they do not take immediately birth. They first of all trained up in the hellish planet how to suffer to become accustomed and then they are taken birth, then suffer
- To get back more to the origins of the movement, why do you follow the teachings of Caitanya rather than say Vallabha or Ramanuja or Ramananda?
W
- Was there a time when there was no material world?
- We can understand how Sri Advaita Acarya is the servant of Lord Caitanya, but how is Maha Visnu and the Visnu-catur-bhuja, how do They serve Krsna?
- What if they say Caitanya Mahaprabhu was a devotee, He worshiped the Supreme Lord, kirtana, but His disciples say He's God?
- What is the punishment if one doesn't fast (if a sannyasi is not offered respect, the punishment is that he should fast one day. That is sastric injunction)?
- What Krsna says, that is recorded in the sastra, especially in the Bhagavad-gita. So you act what is said in the Bhagavad-gita; then you remain free from all sinful reaction
- When Caitanya Mahaprabhu took sannyasa, His guru offered Him one name, but He refused and preferred to keep the name Krsna Caitanya which is a brahmacari name. Why was this?
- When they (the people) ask us about Lord Caitanya, "Who is this Lord Caitanya?" what may we tell them?
- Why did Nityananda Prabhu break His (Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu's) danda?
- Why should one pray to God?
- Would you say something about the mercy of Lord Caitanya's sankirtana movement?
