When the Bowery youths asked his opinion about various seekers and philosophers, Bhaktivedanta's comment was often, "Their sincerity is their God-consciousness."<BR/><BR/>His point was simple -- sincerity is the foundation for all other spiritual practice. Whether or not you agree with the rest of Bhaktivedanta's philosophy, that one point is fundamental, and is widely shared by thoughtful people of other faiths.<BR/><BR/>It is a sad fact that many in the Gaudiya community -- just like many in the Buddhist community, Baha'i community, Scientology community and Flying Spaghetti Monster community -- devote tremendous effort to putting up an artificial show of belief and practice, rather than acknowledging with sincerity their actual belief and true level of advancement.<BR/><BR/>If Ananda is disappointing some here by displaying his newfound love of maya, I would suggest that he has not actually regressed. Rather, he has cast off the shackles of his former felt need to pose insincerely as something he was not. From his new platform of sincerity, he can now advance with integrity toward whatever destination his nature has in store for him. <BR/><BR/>I, for one, wish him every success on his journey!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-249993179895229468.post-11624672359414326602008-07-22T00:10:00.000+02:002008-07-22T00:10:00.000+02:00Ananda Baba says - <BR/><BR/>"I have grown quite weary of these so-called Krishna devotees with their warped psychologies."<BR/><BR/>end quote:<BR/><BR/>No doubt there are many such examples.

You need two juicy bellpeppers to add flavor to the salad, blend especially well with olive oil. Chilis are chopped small and blended gently but firmly with the oil to spread the aroma around.<BR/><BR/>And Vishwajeet, yes, it is better for your spiritual growth and sanity that you keep a bit of distance to me and my writings.

I delivered them a 10.000 NRS donation the day before yesterday. Aside that, I've put in somewhere in the range of 10.000 from my own pocket, worked with contacts who have contributed, and am actively working on a fund raising program including a charity CD with different Nepali musical groups.<BR/><BR/>The total budget for the salad at the Punjabi Dhaba (at our guest house rooftop) was about 50 Rs. salad + 30 Rs. biscuits total for three persons, sans the joint that was free.<BR/><BR/>I also eat. Since I am not an orphan child, but an approximately adult person with some finances independent of what the readers of the blog have sometimes contributed to my projects, I don't feel particularly guilty not eating the same food as the children.<BR/><BR/>We are working on a website for the orphanage, expect to have it out within the week. There will be plenty of pictures of the children. I will need to collect them from friends' cameras to be able to post them, I have rarely had my camera with me at the orphanage.<BR/><BR/>While I can try my level best to help others, I don't feel that I need to adopt the exact same lifestyle as the people I help. I don't think this is even a serious line of commenting, I am quite inclined to file some of the comments on this entry under FAP (frivolous and pathetic). I eat my salads with a good conscience.Anandahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08475458208032807484noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-249993179895229468.post-52519175256275204622008-07-20T02:44:00.000+02:002008-07-20T02:44:00.000+02:00Madhava should have shown a photo of the kids being fed rather than himself at a restaurant after raising money!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-249993179895229468.post-5779763486415137052008-07-20T00:23:00.000+02:002008-07-20T00:23:00.000+02:00Anonymous said...<BR/><BR/> "I just want my money back.
