Sivarama Swami Katyayani-vrata: Bring back Gopi Bhava Club?
Social · asked by user [] · 2007-12-14 · 8 answers
Would Prabhupada approve of SRSs new vrata? Sounds like someone is still in the Gopi-bhava club to me.

Sivarama Swami:
My vow: Devotees ask what kind of vow I am doing and what is its purpose. This is my answer.
In the wake of the vow the young gopis performed to have Krsna as their husband, I am following a kind of Katyayani-vrata. I eat havisya once a day, bathe in cold water, don'92t shave, chant prayers to and worship Devi daily. Now that I am in NVD I do that by the banks of the Yamuna. I have two purposes.
One is that Katyayani devi make me the object of Radha-Syama'92s grace; kuru te namah, '93Please do this!'94
The other purpose is that she protect the sankirtana devotees doing the marathon. I pray to Yogamaya, '93The gopis accepted so many austerities so that you would bless them with Krsna'92s company. They hardly ate, they rose early, they bathed in the cold river, they worshipped you with devotion. And you fulfilled their desire. Only to please Krsna these book distributors almost give up eating, they stand all day in rain, wind and snow, they tolerate weariness and pain, and they engage in the topmost sacrifice, sankirtana.
As you fulfilled the desire of the gopis please fulfil mine. Please. In all ways protect those devotees who are making this extra effort to please Hari. And please fulfil their spiritual desires; kuru te namah, please do this!'94
May all book distributors thus enjoy the blessings of Katyayani devi. This, my vow and its purpose, is my offering at their lotus feet.

A devotee of Krsna can do whatever he/she pleases. One is excused if he/she commits even the most terrible act. Because his/her only business is to serve Krsna. If one does something for Katyanani devi, one knows indirectly that he/she has done it for Krsna.user [233] · 2007-12-14
I am going out tonight to dance in the forest with my other gopi girls. I hope that Krishna seduces me : )http://www.sivaramaswami.com/?p=2223

users Prabhupadaman and Gopigirl same person.This admins will not tolerate such abuse and breach of etiquette and will ban any same IP participants.
user [203] · 2007-12-15
To admin:How do you know that they are the same person? What if they make use of the same (temple or library) computer?
user [2] · 2007-12-15
unfortunately we do not have the FBI capabilities.We at least make it public, if a mistake is done, the admin email is there to clarify your (their) case.

Such abuse is common on the internet as you may know.We at least make it public, and do contact the users. If still a mistake is done, the admin email is there to clarify your (their) case.
For example Gopigirl claimed to be using same computer as the other user, so we asked for name confirmation. She claimed to be such and such disciple of Satsvarupa Maharaj, but nobody seems to know her as such. So we act.
Not because she is a disciple of such and such (we do not enter into personal choices) but because it is fake.

unfortunetly there is no self -sufficient community in Hungary.It became a cult and its far from being any spritual or godly community. Its become a complete personality cult, focusing around Sivarama swami, and some of his tyrannic henchmen, who are acting as leaders bossing around everyone. Password: MONEY, POWER, SUBMISSION.
getting similar to Kirtananandas obscene sect, in NV, only no murders have happened yet.
Please shred away any illusions, relating to New Vraja Dhama, and Sivarama swami.
