Comment on Further Considerations on Prabhupada’s Birthchart by Roupamanjari devi dasi

Roupamanjari devi dasi — Thu, 12 Aug 2010 23:26:52 +0000

Dear Kailasa Candra Prabhu,

Please accept my most humble obeisances. All Glories to Srila Prabhupada!

This subject has plagued my mind for some time now and having read your article, my mind is now at ease. Everything I suspected was confirmed by your analysis and I no longer am struggling with the insinuations presented by some that Srila Prabhupada somehow gave an inaccurate birth time and that His Lagna is actually Sagittarius, because of the apparent stigma that the Capricorn chart is undesirable/unbefitting our Acarya, and therefore must be incorrect, which is to my mind plainly and offensively wrong. I say first produce a qualified astrologer and then come to the conclusion regarding the Capricorn or any placement – but please do not contradict the Statement of Srila Prabhupada.

Thank you for the analysis and if you are able to write additionally on this topic I would be greatly interested to learn more about the placements and configurations of our Exalted Spiritual Master Srila Prabhupada’s Natal Chart.

Your eternal servant,
Roupamanjari devi dasi

From Parampara authorized spiritual master can be compared to a lawyer that has a license granted from the state. He can have a helper, a representative that is not a lawyer himself. He is called paralegal. With the lawyers authorization this representative can take some legal action on the court on behalf of the lawyer. However, when the lawyer dies, his law office is automatically closed and the representative immediately loses all his authority to make any legal action on behalf of a departed lawyer.

Similarly, rittviks had the authority to act on behalf of the spiritual master while he was physically present and was controlling the whole situation — and was responsible for the whole situation. It is logical and self-evident to conclude, that rittviks lost their right to act before parampara on behalf of the spiritual master after his disappearance.

Comment on Accept the Direct Meaning! by Amar Puri

Thereafter, in 1918, Srila Prabhupada became married and soon started a family. Ra/Mo till 13 February 1918. Ra/Ma afterwards. The Moon, L7, and Mars, L4, are both marriage significators for Capricorn lagna indicated harmonious (workable) and understandable relationship. In Sagittarius lagna, the marriage is ruled by 8L most malefic exalted Moon occupied in 6 h, which indicated vulnerability and instability in the married life.

As we understand from the Capricorn Lagna chart of Srila Prabhupada, 7L Moon having degree of 28.07 is considered old age. The first person who made Srila Prabhupada’s chart perhaps prepared his chart Moon in Mithun as per his manual calculation which is very possible.

But when we read Moon in 6h of Mithun, Gemini which indicated vulnerability and instability in the married life.

That is the question remains whether or not how much Srila Prabhupada’s married life was inharmonious and instable. Other than that there is no any big change even if accepting the Moon was in Mithune. That is my opinion. I must admit that I am not very expert in the Vedic Astrology.

Your servant…… Amar Puri.

Comment on Ethnicity and the Topmost Tannery Experts by Kailasa Candra das

The Vaishnava Foundation has never said that a soul within a female body cannot be a bona fide spiritual master. It is possible. It is more difficult for them in the conditioned state, for many reasons. All of those reasons will not be delineated here. However, why should females take to the process if they have no chance of becoming self-realized in the true sense of the term? They do have such chance, and they must have such chance. Anyone who transcends the influence of the coverings and is ordered by his or her bona fide guru to become guru will then be eligible (adhikara) to be guru. However, if what we are saying here is taken in a sahajiya spirit of easygoing cheap gurus/cheap disciples, then, if unqualified women still conditioned by, and under the strong influence of, the lower modes become so-called gurus, it will dumb down the whole thing even further than it has currently been degraded.

What about women? I have heard they can’t be spiritual masters…why is that?

jai rahda my take on it ,, words are not only a matrix of meaning there is resonance and vibration , split apart all thing fall into chaos, especially ,minds bodies and spirit, soul being sub atomic ie the eesence of the three but not them ,bahckti is the closes thing to soul ,stimulating the rest , mind technology mind function and brain growth , concept being the platform , that stirs all this in a direction, ,krishna being the obvious and thing worth persuing ,not forgeting paramatma, so as to always remember ,no separation , but different same time , as you and me are , you have your name mind and body , the closes thing you have to jiva is your name ,,( three quraks for mister marks )james joyce ,, prabhupads movement is not confined to anything , it is there for all , chaytnyas love can not be caged , prabupads love can not fail ,, only waiting for the right one to arrive , brain a gate to all the detination being the heart , not religion but science , that takes us to prabhupada , where krishna is,cells awake in the brain , brought about by pure love unceasing effort , holding prabhupadas hem wishing only to serve , for no gain not even heaven , rather to go last ,as all others see krishna before you , and if you fail return eternally , and wait for krishna to take you against your will , for what is heaven , if one jiva atma paramatma is left to suffer , chaytanya came for all , as did prabhupada , this world will disolve , and some will be encapsulated , awaiting the next yuga a part of krishna will lie with them , like dna waiting to grow , i say grow your brain now and fix it on prabhupada and krishna will awake in your heart ,,,,,,,,, and the proof rahdas eyes of love will be all around you,in all that you percieve fell think and do ,profound logic finds only love and union , jai shree prabhupad jai shree prabhupad jai shree prabhupada your servant seamus j carroll

dear prabhu ’s the truth will set us all free , it is my belief that prabhupada empowers his devotee , we all must do our bit , the only truth i know is of my own battle with maya , the truth i dont know is the one i follow for it is not my truth , i am helpless and if i were not to hold on to prabhupada in my ignorance i would already be dead , time does through up its truth and the only thing i truly know, is that if you are sincere and do the work there will be success , im not there yet for i still do not know my duty , but i have cleansed in many ways , and not tormented by my passed horrors , my greatest wish is for instruction and i take this from prabhupada , and all that is , good and bad ,negative gurus have taught me much , and many good people given me courage to continue, but none such as prabhupada , the dream is to dream of him so that i may take instruction as if he were before me , through your efforts this edges a little closer for he lives through his devotee that he never abandons, the greatest benediction was to have been able to give rahdacund dass some seva before he passed , when i met him in rahdacund just before he was taken to vrindavan where he passed , i feel that prabhupada gave me this mercy, my wish is that the devotees will forgive the miscreants and welcome all sincere devotees back as brother and sisters no matter there sins , bhakti in time does filter through and some have learnt , but they remain isolated from the movement it is time to reunite all this and prabhupada family will rejoice , as im sure prabhupada will ,, jai rahda your servant seamus j carroll

Comment on Third Force Blind by seamus j carroll

seamus j carroll — Sat, 06 Feb 2010 02:17:29 +0000

dear prabhu , you remind me of conversations i had with the locals of rahdacund , they spoke of the bhakti filter , just like a filter in a car or water filter , that bhakti filters the blood off all that is not pure ,and that this can be known by rahdas eyes , the eyes off love , spiritual love ,they also say that the west has the shackti , and that these two things will merge , and then ignorance will be destroyed ,they are waiting for us , and that it is the bhakti that saves the world ,and the shackti kills all that have no bhakti , they say that the most dangerous thing for this world is bhakti and when it combines again with shackti that kalki comes with his sword to deliver the heads to kali , the metaphor being madness and anarchy , and only when this terror is over will rahda show , and when she does , syansunder wakes and golden age will truly be known , your servant seamus j carroll

Comment on To Expose the New Theory by seamus j carroll

seamus j carroll — Sat, 06 Feb 2010 01:37:53 +0000

dear prabhu , the question for me is where are we now , and what needs to happen , my belief is that prabhupada is still in control of his movement , as he was instructed , there can not be a break , and golden age is a certainty , as you point out there seems to be some strange language ,the guru veils to protect the sincere , and unveiels to catch the demon , the esoteric use the same trick ,and as some say ,, better to rule here for a day than to serve forever in heaven, the truth is the demons would not like heaven, unless krishna kills them direct they will never return, but from vrindas garden a rachoss flew , and the greatest cheater of all is krishna , your servant seamus j carroll
