Srila Prabhupada and the Aquarian Gospel
Posted by SunEditor @ 12:06 PM PST [Link]
Read Posting [7 Comments] "In some conversations, Shrila Prabhupada has mentioned the Aquarian Gospel which states that Jesus was in Jagannath Puri. However we cannot accept the Aquarian Gospel as admissible evidence. The Aquarian Gospel is not a Gospel recognized by religious scholars. This pretence of a Gospel is the work of a 20th century American named Levi H. Dowling that he supposedly channeled from the Akashic records in 1908. Of course receiving knowledge via revelation (the Akashic records) is certainly possible, but the Aquarian Gospel fails to pass the test of spirituality. Unfortunately many people confuse the Aquarian Gospel for a Gospel from antiquity when truthfully it is not." Read full article.

Read Posting [No Comments] "I want to bring to the attention of the members and well-wishers of ISKCON the latest article I wrote concerning ISKCON’s System of Management. I will only give a short synapses of the topic here in this news-brief as the full article is a bit lengthy.

All who are concerned are requested to at least read the article and follow the debate or participate in it." Read full article.
Jesus in the Vedas
Posted by Swami BV Giri @ 02:12 PM PST [Link]
Read Posting [54 Comments] "A recent flurry of articles and website postings have been made to indicate that the fable of Jesus is mentioned in the Vedas [Bhavisya Purana]. Many Vaisnavas have been enthused [confused] by these Vedic findings, confirming Jesus as a messenger of God [Krsna] and a pure devotee. However, a closer look at the prediction of Jesus found in the Bhavisya Purana strongly suggests foul play or interpolation on the part of Christian Missionaries in India during the late 18th century."

How Great Is Srila Prabhupada?
Posted by Swami BG Narasingha @ 03:00 PM PST [Link]
Read Posting [4 Comments] "If we enter the ocean by boat we can navigate our direction to a destination based on the stars. The stars are compared to so much knowledge found in the Vedas. One of those stars in the sky is called Dhruva-loka. In modern science Dhruva-loka is called the Pole Star or North Star. When we are in the ocean if we lose sight of that star, if we cannot see that star then we cannot benefit from all the other stars. We will be lost in the ocean. The Pole Star doesn't move. It is fixed in one place. As long as we can see the Pole Star, which never moves, than we can determine so many things by the other stars which are moving. But if we do not have a fixed bearing with the Pole Star then we are lost." Read full article.
Srila Prabhupada: Nitya-siddha
Posted by Rocana dasa @ 03:03 PM PST [Link]
Read Posting [27 Comments] "My Sampradaya Acarya thesis philosophically rests upon the basic assumption that AC Bhaktivedanta Swami Srila Prabhupada is a bona fide Sampradaya Acarya representing the disciplic succession of the Brahma Madhva Gaudiya Vaisnava lineage. As such, Srila Prabhupada is a Nitya-siddha, Shaktyavesa-avatar, an eternal associate of Lord Caitanya Mahaprabhu. The philosophical comprehension of this truth is of the utmost significance for the Vaisnava population concerned with spreading the Sankirtan Movement." Read full article.
