A reason I opened this blog resulted from yahoo web page hosting improperly transferring my geocites sites, then shutting me down since my pages looked improper. :) [Basically they messed up my onsite pics, then blamed me for not having pics.] Even tho I paid. Anyhow, in time I hope to relocate backups and will then start making those pages again. Have so far located most of my former sites, and transferred two. Scroll to see which ones.
UPDATE: Now yahoo has closed all egroups, therefore I have modified this blog post. There are still interesting sites, plus a group or two! :)

MY SITES that have been TRANSFERRED - Now Here
* DOM: Direction Of Management [Written by Srila Prabhupada himself] A document, plus its amendment, deemed extremely important by Srila Prabhupada. Yet, why no one follows it? Why no one even wants to talk about it? Unless they can talk it "away." Cover it over with lots of long sentences. Whereas, IMHO, Prabhupada said it, then I for one, believe it.

* Devotees CAN go Back To Godhead
This arose after I heard devotees I knew had died under auspicious circumstances, certain others spoke as if they had not achieved the goal of returning to Krishna. That is the exact opposite of what Prabhupada teachers. If we chant at the time of death, or die in Vrindavana for example, we go back to home, back to Godhead. Yet upon the death of an 11 or 12 years old child who others heard him chanting as he left this world, we were informed he did not go back. And upon the death of others who some may judge should not to have gone back, but they were factually chanting or passed over in the Holy Dham, then they had to have returned to the Lord. This needs to be better understood. Thus:

* Difference Between Hinduism And Krishna Consciousness
Many are under the impression these are one and the same. Not in the least. Find out more, here: http://harekrishnablogging.blogspot.com/2011/10/difference-between-hinduism-and-krishna.html
* Qualifications Of Dksha [Initiating] IGuru
What you do, or who you select, to save your soul, is of course your own individual choice. Simply, do it from a perspective of knowledge. Can you answer: "How does one recognize who is a pure guru?" Do you know: "What are the specified shastric qualifications of guru?" Or "What did Prabhupada say to help one recognize a qualified spiritual master?" Lets not jump on the vox-populi bus, that since everyone is jumping up and down happily dancing or promoting someone, or evaluating by how they feel, then we blindly go along. Instead, let us educate ourselves. Yes, feelings have their place, but so does knowledge. For the answers to the above questions, and more, please read the following link.
