"Sam'i Allahu liman hamidah, Rabbana wa lakal hamd"

"God hears those who call upon Him; Our Lord, praise be to You"
why i start with this basic islam prayer???
i just stopped watching program called 30days after the program i noticed that my eyes were in tears...episodes name was:muslims and america.in it a basic christian redneck american goes to live in a muslim family for 30days doing everything they do.in the end of the show he was really positive about islam and the people.he had firm faith in jesus,but now he can understand others too!!!

and why we servants of krishna dont work together?!?because we forget the basic teachings of sri chaytanya mahaprabhu and take politics into the religion.

trinad api sunichena
taror api sahishnuna
amanina manadena
kirtaniyah sada harih

One should chant the holy name of the Lord in a humble state of mind, thinking oneself lower than the straw in the street; one should be more tolerant than a tree, devoid of all sense of false prestige, and should be ready to offer all respect to others. In such a state of mind one can chant the holy name of the Lord constantly.

Initiation LA 12-11-68

Prabhupada: (chuckles) Jayananda looks like Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu. (laughter) Yes. He was tall and stout and strong, Chaitanya Mahaprabhu. (laughing) Yes. Very good. And in Vrndavana, when Kirtanananda was given sannyasa, he was looking so nice with this dress and danda, oh, practically all the devotees of Vrndavana came to offer him respect. Yes. On Janmastami day I offered him sannyasa. So many devotees came to see in the temple. So there was a big crowd. He was looking very nice. Chaitanya Mahaprabhu was also very fair-complexioned. So with this dress, persons with fair complexion looks very nice, very attractive. People are not attracted with this dress in kirtan party? (laughs) This bare head with tilak and this dress, they will know that they are coming from, directly from the kingdom of God. (laughs) Actually it is so. They have forgotten God; otherwise they would have received these brahmacharis so nicely. In India, oh, you'll be received just like gods with this dress. Hundreds and thousands of people will come to receive you. Yes. That is sufficient...

Falling on the ground, I will roll about at the door of Sri Narasimha's temple.

today i changed clothes of sri sri gaura-nitai and put some pearls around lakshmi-narasimhadeva and yoga-narasimhadeva!!!!
here is the latest picture.i just took it some minutes ago.
in the middle of nitai and gauranga you can see the picture of the local iskcon sri sri gaura-nitai,that i have been writing here many many times!
on that picture they are still on the old altar.now they have a new altar.picture of it here...

as narasimha-chaturdasi is getting close,i've been doing some googling to check out different writings and pictures of lord narasimhadeva!
here's a really nice article that also includes srila bhaktivinoda thakur's narasimhadeva writings from sri navadvipa bhava taranga:
worship of lord narasimhadeva by swami b.g.narasingha maharaja
and heres some prayers to lord narasimhadeva
i'll end this to familiar namaste narasimhaya song,wich i didnt know had one more verse!!! :)

"In His mouth the goddess Suddha-Sarasvati is always present, on His chest laksmi-devi always resides, and within His heart special affection for His devotees is always manifest – I worship that Nrsimhadeva"

The lotus feet of Sri Rupa Manjari are my treasure,my devotional service,and my object of worship.

hari haribol!
im listening to RASA :sri rupa manjari is on now...
"Your absence from my vision is like a dose of strong poison, and I will suffer till the end of my life. Narottama dasa Thakura says: "Please give me your mercy and the shade of your lotus feet."

my crazy dreams keep on going...
in one i was at the local temple and it looked like a library with lots of books around it.there was bigger hall where all the devotees were.it was narasimha chaturdasi or that is what i though...when i went to see the abhiseka i saw devotees bathing deity of radharani...radha was alone there...there was no narasimhadeva deity or even altar...
wonder if i was hippie in my last life and did lots of LSD!?!? cause these dreams are getting pretty far out,dude!!! ;)

this weekend there's going to be narasimha-chaturdasi!!! im waiting for it...but thats one of the festivals that when i would love be at the local temple,cause thats the festival when everybody just go crazy and the kirtans arent too mellow either..heh...but this time im going to krsangis and kamalaksas place and i think that i will take my big lakshmi-narasimha deity with me.he normally doesnt travel with gaura-nitai and yoga-narasimhadeva,maybe this time he should?!? ;)
i found this nice bhajan from Krishna Kirtana Songs website:

TRANSLATION
Refrain: Glories to Lord Nrsimha, Sri Nrsimha, All Glories to Lord Nrsimhadeva.
The Lord of Prahlada and, like a honeybee, is always engaged in beholding the lotuslike face of the goddess of fortune.
1) Half man, half lion. Great Lion, Transcendental Lion. Greatly Strong. Terrible Lion. Greatest of Demigods. Born of a pillar. Possessor of
fiery eyes
2) Angry one, the all wonderful who is accompanied by Laksmi. This blissful one in yoga. The tallest. Lord Hari, One who roars, The holder of Sudarsana, Ever Glorious, Always victorious
3) Whose eyes resemble seeds, thousand eyed one. Who is difficult to see, Chastiser of enemies, Possessor of great teeth. Expert in war. Who is angry at Canda ( a demon, brother of Pracanda ). Always auspicious
4) The killer of Hiranyakasipu. The threat to the daityas and the danavas. One with auspicious qualities. Greatly auspicious. Possessor of
auspicious strength. The very auspicious one.
5) The highest truth, The highest abode. Whose form is sacidaAnanda. Laksmi Narasimha, the protector of Prahlada.

until next time dear friends...
