In the supermarket

 

"Bala, look, Uncle Ganesh found a banana!
Good price, too!"

Sometimes I wonder what Gemini is training on. In this picture, it looks as if the Goddess is worshipping Ganesha (strictly speaking Bhakti Ganapati), but in reality, it´s of course the other way around. When you worship the Goddess, you have to start by invoking Ganesha first, but that´s because he is "lower". 

But then, the goddess in the picture is the playful child-form (Bala or Bala Tripura Sundari), so it makes some sense that she is "playing" Ganesh by pretending to worship him. And yes, the banana is traditional. 

Sån är (stats)kapitalismen

Nice try, impersonalista

 


NASA says the United States will send a manned mission to the Moon in 2028. Sorry, chaps. According to my man Prabhupada (and he should know, being the Preceptor-Acharya), only those who are spiritually prepared can reach the Moon.

Something tells me NASA aren´t very keen on doing raganuga-bhakti for the next two years, identifying as Krishna´s flute or a blade of grass in celestial Vrindavana. Nor are they prepared to chant the Hare Krishna Maha-Mantra 1,800 times per day after eating vegetarian ice cream at the ashram grounds. 

George Harrison is probably also out of the picture. Unless he wrote "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds"! 

So nah, they won´t go. Conspiracy theorists, of course, will have a field day regardless. And know what? They probably won´t do raganuga-bhakti either...

We´re not going to the Moon, man

 


Is this even a true statement from the real J D Vance? And if so, when was the interview taped? And if it´s true, does this mean that a Vance administration won´t send humans to the Moon and Mars? 

Asking for a friend named Prabhupada...

Some crazy shit going viral just now. Just another day in an Oklahoma court house? 

Holy Monday

 


 

A Hindu prayer

 


Om, salutations to Ganesha.

O curved-trunked, great-bodied One, whose brilliance equals millions of suns, O Divine One, remove all obstacles from all my actions, always.

Om, peace, peace, peace. Om, I bow to Shiva. May Shiva be pleased. Om, peace, peace, peace.

May all beings be happy. May all be free from illness. May all see what is auspicious. May no one suffer or partake in misery.

Om, That is the Truth.

Current mood?

 



It´s 3:30am. Let´s do some bhakti, boys!

Shit, I never heard of this cult before...

Micro-denominations and ghost churches

 


Our man Joshua tries to sort out the Independent Sacramental Movement (Independent Catholic branch). Good luck with that, brother!

But sure, "Vatican-Free Catholics (TM)" is a keeper. And yes, in passing Joshua mentions the Liberal Catholic Churches (all two of them).
