A
- About the creation. I have read it from Bible too, about Adam and Eve. Do you think that it's true?
- According to Krsna consciousness philosophy, the first living being was Brahma, and in the Christian Bible it says Adam was the first man. So he wants to know if in Krsna consciousness scriptures there is any mention of Adam
- And Buddha (this sankhya philosophy which is known in Europe amongst the European scholars, that is the atheist Kapila. It is not the original Kapila)?
- And I think, sir, even Sankaracarya has not meant that we must be short of that. He was also worshiping, was he not? He was worshiping Para-brahman
- And Mayavadis, they do not attain that impersonal realization?
- Are you acquainted with Swami Ranganathanandaji? You have met him?
- Aurobindo? He always had some French people with him?
B
D
- Didn't that Dr. Radhakrishnan go crazy at the end of life, Srila Prabhupada?
- Do they (the Vallabhites) worship in vatsalya-rasa or just show?
- Do we recognize that any of those Christian saints were great devotees? Did they develop love of God? Or what's the comparison?
- Do you believe that Jesus and Buddha and Krsna are manifestations of the same God?
- Do you find that you are having difficulty disassociating yourself (your group) with false prophets like the Guruji?
- Do you know about Paramahamsa Yogananda?
- Does he (Lord Buddha) say so (He's personally Krsna), or you...?

H

- He (Meher Baba) died in motor accident?
- He wants to know if you believe that the Virgin Mary who is the mother of Jesus is the same as Parvati
- He was speaking in English (Aurobindo never preached in Hindi)?
- 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 do we know if somebody else, Yogananda, Maharsi, and all these different people that have translated it, how are we to tell that their version isn't Krsna's word from your version?
- How is it that these men (Mayavadis like Vivekananda) are so attractive to the Indian people?
- How to convince the young persons who are thinking that Meher Baba is an avatara?
- Hussein is his son. Ali is the cousin and the son-in-law of the prophet Mohammed. But can they feel the grace of Krsna within this framework?
I
- I still think of this problem why Lord Krsna had to have an incarnation like Buddha who was teaching atheist doctrine and no...?
- In your letter of April 11th you have asked me to insert "What right has a man to say he has a soul if he does not feel it, or that there is a God if he does not see Him?''....
- Instead of sitting on the raised dais, Vyasasana, and dressing in robes of a monk, Krishnamurti would say, "Dress in Western clothes and sit on a chair." The question was, "What is our opinion of this?"
- Is he (Lord Buddha) allowed to say so (He's personally Krsna)?
- Is it all right that they are brought in, or should we talk to them?

N
- No, no, but what power he has got (Satya Sai Baba) to produce just now...?
- Not even beginning to get people thinking right (these bluffers, they say "meditation," but what is the subject matter of meditation they do not know. Simply bogus propaganda. You see?)?
- Now how do you classify these men, these Christian mystics, Protestant as well as Catholic?
O
- Oh, a letter to the Pope. Did he answer it (now I have written one letter to Pope)?
- Our devotee, "What about in America there are so many people, they are chanting Hare Krsna?" So he (Ranganath of the Ramakrishna mission) says, "In America also there are many fools." So he is blaspheming like this, how can we cooperate with such people?
