Leaving within the hour. It just dawned to me that Siva-ratri is right behind the corner, and Varanasi is approximately on the way...

Two months of Bengali lessons with Sakhicharan and Bisakha came to a conclusion today with the last chapter of the textbook discussions finished.

A new section has been opened, hosting a number of media for download.

25th of February, 2008 - 21:26

Raganuga.Com and Raganuga.Org are available if someone wants to take the domains over and begin something anew.

The newsletter is discontinued in favor of a RSS newsfeed. I'm also heading towards Orissa in a few days, will be away for the better part of two months.

I received a letter asking about the specifics of the design Visakha-sakhi draws on Radha's forehead after her morning bath, otherwise described as kama-yantra in Govinda-lilamrita. This is the reply.

The project index at Madhavananda.com is indefinitely frozen. These are the concluding words posted today in the news section in announcing the same.

This is a continuation of the earlier blog entry featuring random sounds from Radhakund.

In light of the recent rape and murder of Ananda-lila, an Australian girl who was staying in Vrindavan, people have asked for my comments on the culture of sexual harassment regrettably prevalent in India, sometimes labeled "eve-teasing", a rather archaic and tidy expression for an ugly social wrong.

Notes on diverse projects as the show is winding up. The ongoing-section of Vraja Journal retires.

There are different levels on which a mantra functions or may be employed. Awareness of them, along with honest assessments of one's internal mental growth and present state, can prove to be helpful. I am also contrasting them with the theology of the four common aspects we know as nama, rupa, guna and lila.

A few days back, my friend Jijaji told me he'd like to see a feature for leaving online comments on blog entries.

16th of February, 2008 - 8:26

These are the archives of Gaudiya Discussions, the once mighty giant of online Gaudiya Vaishnava discussions, debates, history, theology, controversy and creativity...

I keep hearing from several sources that some Russian disciples of BVNM have, as I had much predicted, employed my recent writings as ammunition in their hate campaign against the babaji tradition. Since none have contacted me in person, this is my open letter to them all.

12th of February, 2008 - 16:23

A while back a friend asked me to record some random bits of sound at Radhakund to get a better feel of the atmosphere. Here goes.

11th of February, 2008 - 16:46

I just received a comment asking: "Do you want to stop posting clarifications and disclaimers and get down to the nitty-gritty of what you want to say?" Now, what do I really want to say? <pin drop silence follows>

With the occasional reference to yogic or Advaitin scriptures, or Buddhist suttas for that matter, some have been wondering about my explorations of knowledge outside the classical Vaisnava canon. Let's have a brief gloss on the why and the what to give everyone a better picture of what things are all about.

Today I'm writing a note to all of you there, whether you're disciples of Narayana Maharaja, gurubhais of mine, or just random folks who want to interpret what I've written and tell all about it to your pals and all. And here's what I wish to say.

I'd like to put in a note to all those who would judge me for what I am as I dive into the dark depths of my heart and pull out these horrendous blog entries. And yes, also for those well-wishers who have already concluded that I am a person with zilch spiritual authority or insight and informed me of the same. As well as for anyone else who might alter their perceptions of me because of what I have written, what I am writing and what I will come to write.

From my last blog in this series, you'll remember the picture of someone rather stressed out by noise and corruption, pondering his future direction. What were my inner workings in the period that immediately preceded meeting this babaji? What made me so vulnerable to being duped? That's in turn for today's blog.

1st of February, 2008 - 18:13

A word of clarification is in place, as my blogs as of late seem to have created some buzz in the blogosphere. Was Bhaktisiddhanta right about those bad babajis after all? My recent blogs were briefly mentioned in Jagadananda's recent blog, and a comment popped in: "Perhaps now its understood what Bhaktisidhanta was talking about...?" This needs some attention.

Raganuga.Com and Raganuga.Org are available if someone wants to take the domains over and begin something anew. They have been static for a small eternity. The contents will be archived under Gaudiya.Com and the domains will be let to expire. (We need to streamline costs, there are a zillion domains out there and we only really want and need to keep active domains with unique content going on.)

If you are interested in taking over the domains before they expire, please e-mail me and let me know what you'd like to do with them. Transferring a domain to your name is a fairly painless process (I'll help you out), and domains cost annually in the range of $10 USD. Raganuga.Com is registered until 1/17/2009 and Raganuga.Org until 10/13/2008. I suggest however not procrastinating until the expiration dates.
