what is mind?

10 years, 5 months ago by harsh_horse in Special Category B

hare krsna maharaj, pamho, agtsp.
we have understood that we are thinking quite often that we are this mind, more often than that i am this body.

we had some discussion in node 3054. on this
-continuing to point that MS Word is an idea.  the intreseting part is that even though it is idea, it is represented by binary language in the to some storage device and transferred. so even software is transmitted through hard ware... every hardware has also some compatibility with range of software only.. it can not work with every software

           HpS - It can also be printed out on paper.   We could start C++ for example and go to Binary.           I "get" and idea?    Where does it come from?   No hardware involved.        We are continuously receiveing ideas, no?  A little perspective and it is obvious that inumerable ideas are coming and we ar accepting or rejecting.]
------


Now our question is
i]what is mind?
ii] how it effects intelligence ?
iii] How can convince any natural scientist that chanting clears the mind? ceto darpan marjanam.....
iv] chanting clears the mind or intelligence or both?
v] What are the signs of clear{mood of goodness} mind and intelligence ?
vi] what is the parallel of mind in spiritual world ?
vii] what is source of ideas ?

viii] What is link between desire and ideas?
--------------------------------------
sorry for asking so many questions, as u know with out any physical association, we are taking association of our mind, and surrendering to it. so we thought better to understand it.
hope this may help in dialogue ith Prog Carl G Jung.

regards,
harsh

             HpS - ASA ---  Jaya Srila Prabhupada, who has inspired our understanding of what is this world, how to use it as a ladder to Krsna-loka! 

Some one has just finished learning to count and do addition and subtraction and just starting fraction and asks what is calculous, how can it be applied. the answer is that he has to progress in the normal curriculm to  understand, no?

this is explained in second half of 2nd canto and then several times in third canto.

all we can expect is that hearing explntion in gita a natural scientst will  be satisfied with abc and want to learn to spell now.

yes, by mercy of lord caitanya, we can a taste of higher yoga level.

how do you understand this text and purport. mostly the text:

Pujaris from Isev in ISKCON temples

10 years, 5 months ago by candra108_mukhi in Hot Topics

Hare Krsna Beloved Gurudeva:

AGTSP 

PAMHO

Hope this meets U in really good health ¡¡¡

Gurudeva I was requested to write this email to U from Yamunesvara das (President - wilson) and Rohini kumar das (Head pujari - wilson)

The situation is this: We do not have pujaris to do all the turns. Even if we have invented all the devotees in general and even if U do not need second initiation to worship them still we have lack of pujaris.

There is one mataji M Damodara (she talked with U several times in schel once she cried because the authorities did not allow her to do pujari in ISKCON due to she is an initiated devotee from ISEV) the thing is that she told Yamunesvara Prabhu that she took shelter from U as her SIksa Guru (she says that she has a document ) umm I do not know what is this document about but the thing is that P Yamunesvara told me that due to we do not have enough pujaris and the mataji always have the desire to serve The Lordships can she enter to the altar??? because she has iur shelter as SIksa Guru they say that for that she may enter to the altar, and if she can Rohini kumar was wondering which picture she may use in order to do the ceremonies ¡¡ Umm I thought the Murti from Srila Prabhupada is enough ¡¡

I write to U here in public no private because I do not want to be the cause of misunderstandings, and plus she is taking your name (as siksa guru), and I do not want that people start to commit offenses unto U ¡¡

Then I also thought that your answer is going to be useful for all of us, whenever a same case appears.

Also I know that mataji for several years and she has this desire and love to serve the Lordships for so long, she is a nice person , and I want to help my temple too. 

But for me your instructions, and opinions are the most important thing, and we are goint to follow them as iur a bonafide representative of our Guruparampara 

So sorry to bother U

Thanks in advance

HpS - ASA --  AGTSP!!!!..a.a.a.!!!      Yes, I remember Damodara Dasi. I hope she is well. She is very nice person.  In many ways this is also a question for GBC et al. Of course, Brahmana's should make some advice based upon scripture, but in these institutional standards there has so be a GBC statement.

As far as I know it is a GBC rule that only devotees who have Brahminical initiation in ISKCON can do service on ISKCON altars that require second initiation, but, Head Pujari in Vrndavana, Mukunda Das (?) was initiated by Naranyana Maharaja long ago. Everyone has adjusted this very well and we have NEVER heard any complaints.

May be very nice Catholic priest but he would not expect to do service on our altars and we not on his.

Does ISEV let ISKCON brahmanas do service for their installed deities?

When I last talked with Paramadvaiti Swami he had a very different standard for 1st initiation than we have taken from Srila Prabhupada, so I don't know what is his standard for 2nd inititation.

So, it must be a GBC authorized decision, local administration authorized, and generally speaking should be devotees initiated by the same Acharya.  Maybe ISKCON wants to make a reciprocal agreement with some Gaudiya-math, ISEV, groups. Maybe there are special cases like Mukunda Das.
It would require the Junta de Wilson to understand very personally Damodara Dasi's consciousness and then make a decision on the individual case. We can't say from this distance.

               HpS - Muy bien. Estuve en nuestra calendario, pero... no podemos pensar en un Rathayatra en Miercoles????

Nuestro corazón desea algún día derretirse de Amor por el Señor Jagannath y salir de esta plataforma de vida llena de deseos materiales.

En las reuniones con los hermanos Latinoamericanos surgio la idea de formar un grupo de devotos con conocimientos de ingles y español para realizar las traducciones y correciones necesarias.

Actualmente el grupo esta conformado por: Madhavendra Puri, Rati Manjari, Ambarisa m, Sarad Bihari, Sananda, Yasodanandana y yo (Vrsabhanu nandini dd) que solo actuo como coordinadora del grupo.

Quienes esten interesados en colaborar en este servicio pueden escribir a: [email protected].

            HpS - ASA -- AGTSP   paoho.  It is achintya-bheda-abheda, no? If we really want to improve our service then we realize that we have to work with others better and help them improve their service. If we really want the group to improve then we realize that we have to improve our individual skills.
