Chaitanya Krishna das replied to Rohit Kumar's discussion stop using Face Book

I personally find popular social…"

Chaitanya Krishna das replied to Krishna Mukherji's discussion Gaudiya Sannyasis and Brahmacharya

"Hare Krishna everyone!
In my humble opinion, it is not good for bramacharis and sannyasis to associate closely with women. If they must discuss something at length with a woman, there should always be other devotees present. This has been clearly…"

Chaitanya Krishna das replied to Karishma Iyer's discussion Perception of Women in the Scriptures

" I think Srila Prabhupada is implying that men over-intellectualize everything, whereas women more naturally are in touch with their feelings. Because ultimately Krishna Consciousness is all about pure love, he is saying that women have an easier…"

Chaitanya Krishna das replied to Karishma Iyer's discussion Perception of Women in the Scriptures

Pranam My Dearest Christopher Prabhu. Hare Krishna.

May you receive transcendental blessings and grace

and mercy; health and strength and understanding;

peace and love; harmony and wisdom; insight and

intuition and inspiration from the God of Gods; the

Lord of Lords; the King of Kings; the God of love; the

Original Bhagavan; the Supreme Personality of Godhead,

Lord Krishna. I offer my respectful obeisances unto Him.

The blacksmith`s anvil receives constant blows from the

hammer and still remains unshaken. When one has perfect

knowledge of Lord Krishna, then no matter how many

difficulties and hardships, sorrows and afflictions one may

face, one`s mind remains serene and one does not falter.

May your devotion to Lord Krishna be resolute and unflinching;

may your confidence in Him be firm and total; may your love

for Him be unfailing and intense, and may your faith in Him be

strong and steadfast; deep and profound; unwavering and

unshakeable. Know well that Lord Krishna`s eternal love for you

encircle and encompasses you at all times, night and day. With

love and best wishes, take care, bye. Radhe Radhe.

Pranam Dearest Devotee. Hare Krishna.

May you receive transcendental blessings and grace

and mercy; health and strength and understanding;

peace and love; harmony and wisdom; insight and

intuition and inspiration from the God of Gods; the

Lord of Lords; the King of Kings; the God of love; the

Original Bhagavan; the Supreme Personality of Godhead,

Lord Krishna. I offer my respectful obeisances unto Him.

A preacher in Krishna consciousness is a humble servant

of Lord Krishna. He does not think that he enlightens

others. The glow-worm thinks that it illuminates the

world. Imagine this to be the glow-worm`s feeling.

Someone said to it, "O glow-worm, how can you bring

light to the world ? You only reveal the intensity of the

darkness." The greater a devotee is in spiritual advancement,

the more meek and humble, natural and unassuming the

devotee becomes. May Lord Krishna grant you success in

Krishna Consciousness and protect you and fill your life

with simplicity and humility; appreciation and gratitude;

patience and perseverance; kindness and generosity;

compassion and forgiveness; courage and enthusiasm;

devotion, dedication and determination. With love and

best wishes, take care, bye. Radhe Radhe.

When, where and how did you come into contact with the Hare Krishna Movement?

I bought a book at a Grateful Dead concert in 1994 and it changed my life. I've intensely studied Srila Prabhupada's books ever since. I used to stay for several nights at a time here and there during my homeless hitchhiking years at the Columbus temple and New Vrindaban. I remember one time I painted the entire basement of the Columbus House yellow for Malati. I also hung out at the Krishna camp at the '96 National Rainbow Gathering in Missouri and camped beside Prithu' s camp at the '98 National Rainbow Gathering in Arizona. I formally moved into the Denver, Colorado Temple in '96-'97. I drifted away for many years and explored other spiritual paths. I spent several weeks at Gita Nagari in 2001, as well as several weeks at the Washington D.C. temple that year. Krishna by His kind mercy has recently led me back to Himself, and I now completely embrace Krishna Consciousness and seek to spread the glories of the Holy Names as much as possible.

Name the nearest or most frequently Visited ISKCON temple/ centre and name few of the devotees whom you know.

The closest Temples to me are New Vrindaban and Gita Nagari. I have known many devotees in the past, and am friends with many presently. I am a disciple of His Holiness Bhaktiratna Sadhu Swami Gaurangapada.

Please describe yourself so that other like minded devotees can find you.

I'm 37 years old, and have been a bookworm since I was a child. I read mostly science books as a child and by age 8 had read the entire Encyclopedia. I began reading about reincarnation and alternative spiritualties at age 11, and by the time I first read "The Science of Self Realization" at age 17, I had aquired a vast amount of knowledge of religion and spirituality. Srila Prabhupada's words clicked with me instantly. My parents, though Lutheran Christians, encouraged me to explore spirituality for myself and find what I felt comfortable with. I love them for allowing me that freedom. They continue to be supportive of me being a devotee. I've taken my mother in the past to visit both New Vrindaban and Gita Nagari, and she enjoyed both places. I really love chanting japa, reading, listening to lectures and Kirtans/Bhajans, writing about Krishna Consciousness, preaching, meeting and serving devotees, and trying to help potential devotees. I have played drums since I was 8 years old, and can play mrdanga, djembe, and drum set. I also play guitar, and would love to learn to play the harmonium. All I desire in life is to serve Lord Krishna and His devotees in whatever ways that I can. I hand out small books and pamphlets to people at grocery stores in my area for free just to spread the Holy Names. I'm currently writing a devotional book. Hare Krishna!

What are your expectations from this community?

To meet Devotees that I can correspond with to help me advance spiritually.

Describe any specific service you would love to offer to Lord Krishna & His devotees?

Anything needed.
