Re: Spiritual Being seeking relationship with Divine Couple
. She is the Mother of all Madonnas and Her presence the first manifestation of Creator to take form.
In the cult of Krsna Consciousness, religion, bhakti yoga, spirituality ... I have found that everything revolves around desiring to serve the Divine Couple... Radha and Krsna .... They are also known as Sri Sri Radha-Madan Mohan and countless names.
We sing songs everyday to and about them we even go Krsna caroling in the streets ... Hare Krsna Hare Krsna Krsna Krsna Hare Hare Hare Rama Hare Rama Rama Rama Hare Hare
Hare is the Original Divine Goddess, Krsna is the Original Supreme Personality of Godhead.
You are really fortunate to have such an event happen to you.
Hi M, I believe your NDE to be real and that you are doing your best to promote it... I say go for it. The website is nice in more ways that just one. Clearly I see you get a lot of flak from other persons who are just not aware of anything beyond the working 9 to 5. I must say you still seem to handle controversy well.
NDE is a real phenomenon and people don't always see nice things when they experience them either
As for the Navy Seal issue, one of my martial art instructors served with the Seals, he told me specifically about some of harshest trainings that most wont ever mention. I do not know
the new school training. Steve did show me the giant scare that covered about half his torso... remnants of when a grenade went of in proximity and the others around him had to put his intestines back inside of him...
I don't know Dr. Melvin or his teachings. We are not sure what you are saying about napalm or bombs.
Yes, God wants the best for all entities, especially those who Love him and those who are dear to Saintly persons.
On the Guru issue... there is one history of one Guru (Jayanta) who accepted Gopa Kumar as his Disciple... they only met 5 times,
such wonderful and brief contact with his Spiritual Master was all it took for Gopa Kumar to recieve his spiritual body that was suitable to go to the spiritual world just beyond the great white light known as the BrahmaJyoti...
So many persons claim seeing the great white light in NDE... it is a real place full of bliss and is considered to be the glint of a glimmer of light emanating from the toenail of God.
Sorry about the cut and paste thing, but here is another that came from "A SECOND CHANCE", just the intro though.
As the sinful Ajämila lay on his deathbed, he was terrified to see three fierce humanlike creatures coming to drag him out of his dying body and take him away to the abode of Yamaräja, the lord of death, for punishment.
Surprisingly, Ajämila escaped this terrible fate. How? You’ll find out in the pages of A Second Chance: The Story of a Near-Death Experience.
You’ll also learn many vital truths about the fundamental nature of the self and reality, so you can better prepare yourself for your own inevitable encounters with death and dying.
Even today, people momentarily on the verge of death report encounters like Ajämila’s, lending credibility to the idea that there is life after death.
In 1982, George Gallup, Jr., published a book called Adventures in Immortality, which contained results of a survey on American beliefs about the afterlife, including near-death and out-of-body experiences.
Sixty-seven percent of the people surveyed said they believe in life after death, and fifteen percent said they themselves had had some kind of near-death experience.
The people who reported a near-death experience were then asked to describe it. Nine percent reported an out-of-body sensation, and eight percent felt that “a special being or beings were present during the near-death experience.”
The Gallup survey is intriguing, but it leaves unanswered this basic question:
Is there any scientific evidence for near-death experiences, particularly of the out-of-body type?
Apparently there is—from studies of people on the verge of death who, while supposedly unconscious, accurately report events relating to their physical body from a perspective outside it. Heart attack patients, accident victims, and soldiers wounded in battle have all reported such experiences.
Dr. Michael Sabom, a cardiologist at the Emory University Medical School, undertook a scientific study of such reports. He interviewed thirty-two cardiac-arrest patients who reported out-of-body experiences. During a cardiac arrest the heart stops pumping blood to the brain, and so a patient should be totally unconscious. Yet twenty-six of the thirty-two patients reporting out-of-body experiences during cardiac arrest were able to give fairly accurate visual accounts of their resuscitation. And the remaining six gave extremely accurate accounts of the specific resuscitation techniques, matching confidential hospital records of their operations.
The results of Sabom’s study, detailed in his book Recollections of Death: A Medical Investigation (1982), convinced him of the reality of out-of-body experiences. He concluded that the mind was an entity distinct from the brain and that the near-death crisis caused the mind and brain to split apart for a brief time. Sabom wrote, “Could the mind which splits apart from the physical brain be, in essence, the soul, which continues to exist after the final bodily death, according to some religious doctrines? As I see it, this is the ultimate question that has been raised by reports of the NDE [near-death experience].”
The true dimensions of that ultimate question are thoroughly explored in A Second Chance, by His Divine Grace A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupäda, the founding spiritual master (äcärya) of the International Society for Krishna Consciousness.
Thousands of years ago in India, the history concerning Ajämila and his near-death experience was related by the great spiritual master Çukadeva Gosvämi to his disciple King Parékñit. Their conversation is recorded in the Sixth Canto of the Sanskrit classic Srimad-Bhägavatam, renowned as the ripened fruit of the tree of India’s timeless Vedic literature.
In 1975–76, in the course of translating the Srimad-Bhägavatam into English, Srila Prabhupäda translated the story of Ajämila. And as with the rest of the work, in addition to the text he provided an illuminating commentary on each verse.
But this wasn’t the first time Srila Prabhupäda had explained the story of Ajämila. During the winter of 1970–71 Srila
Prabhupäda was traveling with some of his Western disciples in India. They had heard him speak about Ajämila several times, and at their request he now gave a systematic series of lectures on the Ajämila story.
Thus A Second Chance consists of texts from the Sixth Canto of Srimad-Bhägavatam (reproduced here in boldface type), selections from Srila Prabhupäda’s commentary, and excerpts from transcriptions of his lectures during the ’70–71 India tour.
The history of Ajämila is dramatic, powerful, and engaging. And the sharp philosophical and metaphysical debates that punctuate the action as Ajämila confronts the messengers of death and finds deliverance are bound to excite the interest of those concerned with life’s deepest questions.
