    Namaste,

    Just a quck note about 'as it is'. I think this should help clarify Srila Prabhupada's stand

    It has become fashionable since the time of Śańkarācārya to explain everything regarding the śāstras in an indirect way. Scholars take pride in explaining everything in their own way, and they declare that one can understand the Vedic scriptures in any way he likes. This "any way you like" method is foolishness, and it has created havoc in the Vedic culture. One cannot accept scientific knowledge in his own whimsical way. In the science of mathematics, for example, two plus two equals four, and one cannot make it equal three or five. Yet although it is not possible to alter real knowledge, people have taken to the fashion of understanding Vedic knowledge in any way they like. It is for this reason that we have presented Bhagavad-gītā As It Is. We do not create meanings by concoction. Sometimes commentators say that the word kurukṣetra in the first verse of the Bhagavad-gītā refers to one's body, but we do not accept this. We understand that Kurukṣetra is a place that still exists, and according to the Vedic version it is a dharma-kṣetra, or a place of pilgrimage. People still go there to perform Vedic sacrifices. Foolish commentators, however, say that kurukṣetra means the body and that pa�ca-pāṇḍava refers to the five senses. In this way they distort the meaning, and people are misled. Here Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu confirms that all Vedic literatures, including the Upaniṣads, Brahma-sūtra and others, whether śruti, smṛti or nyāya, must be understood according to their original statements. To describe the direct meaning of the Vedic literatures is glorious, but to describe them in one's own way, using imperfect senses and imperfect knowledge, is a disastrous blunder. Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu fully deprecated the attempt to describe the Vedas in this way.

    What you quoted is word by word,true Kurukshetra is a region,to be more specific,it was the "Holy Land" of the Vedic Aryans as said in Satapatha Brahmana.RigVeda identifies Kurukshetra(i.e Sarasvati region)as the place of Ila,the best place on earth.

    However,i think there was no need to use the term "Foolish commentators",IMO everyone is free to interpret the scriptures in their own POV

    let us keep that aside The idea was there to give an explanation for our understanding why Srila PrabhupAda calls it 'as it is' rather than our own thinking about why he named it . I am not ISKCONite

    Yes, in mohanjodaro, there is an epicenter of 50 ft, which is highly radioactive and rocks are melted and fused in one glassy object. This radioactivity spreads wide (Brahmastra --> atom bomb). This is another topic. Will post youtube video in another section.

    Hare Krsna,

    Kindly note this is the ISKCON subforum, and the person whose vani is quoted as calling "foolish commentators" is the Founder Guru-Acharya of ISKCON. To come to ISKCON subforum and correct the vani of the Guru-Acharya of the Institute, while preaching your own version is not only bad form, it is contrary to Sanskruti principles.

    Within the Gaudiya Vaishnava sampradaya everyone is "not free to interpret the scriptures from their own point of view." Within ISKCON, and indeed within every sampradaya of Sanathana Dharma which I know of... worshippable reverance for Guru as a condition of understanding, Kṛṣṇa-prāpti, attaining the Lotus Feet of Lord Krsna has the prerequisite of saranam, taking shelter of a spiritual Master and surrendering unto Him. The Adi-Purusha and Adi-Guru Shri Bhagavan Krsna instructed Arjuna:
    sarva-dharman parityajya
    mam ekam saranam vraja
    aham tvam sarva-papebhyo
    mokshayishyami ma sucah

    Abandon all varieties of religion and just surrender unto Me.
    I shall deliver you from all sinful reactions. Do not fear.
    -Bhagavad-gita As It Is 18.66
    We have worshipful reverence for our Guru Acharya's and entire Guru Parampara even if you do not. So it is my humble request that people do not come to this forum to cast aspersions, mistrust, or their own personal "corrections" of our worshippable spiritual Masters.

    -please forgive my mistakes

    DD,

    Here is something similar to what Amrutbhai posted. It is also by the wonderful Jagjit Singh. I hope you like it. It's about Lord Krishna.

    Hehe. Of course - I shall definitely post some traditional-style Garba/Raas in honor of Lord Dwarkadheesh! The following is another Hemant Chauhan piece:

    And, I'm sure you're familiar with this one: Epicness.

    Hare Krsna,

    I offer my most fallen and ignorant nature with humblest obeisances at the Lotus Feet of Nitya-Lila Pravist Om Vishnupad Bhakti Siddhanta Srila Prabhupada. All glories to Srila Prabhupada! The majesty and the miracle of your arrival in America to bless fallen souls will never be forgotten. You are our most precious treasure. From Guru comes the consciousness of God/Krsna. Let people say what they want. I humbly bow at Your Charan forever.

    Namaste,

    Just to be safe and not to offend anyone, I have shifted links to a general Vaishnava forum with thread title Devotional songs dedicated to Shri Krishna Bhagavan

    Since forum rule discourage duplicate posts, I have deleted them from this thread.

    Apologies for lapse. If there is anything that needs to be deleted, do let me know.

    Hare Krsna,

    Prabhuji you are not offending in any way. My reply was prompted because couple of fellows think they have the standing to correct the Guru-Acharya of ISKCON on an ISKCON sub-forum devotional thread and my point was to highlight the nature of GURU is properly respect and submission and not criticism, fault-finding or challenging.

    My humble apologies for distressing anyone. Please let's return to sharing nice kirtan and chanting the Holy Names.
