Can we listen to music?

Hare Krishna to all the devotees

                    • Ah, Madhava das Prabhu, comparing me to Keshav Kashmiri? That’s cute. If you’re hinting at that scene, you’ve already cast yourself as the arrogant pandit. Congratulations, Prabhu — you finally found your scriptural reflection.

                      Seems you didn’t read the full pastime, Prabhu — Keshav Kashmiri walked in with verses, walked out with humility. And you? You walked in with threats of Naraka and “jaan se maar dunga,” and now you’re handing out mythological analogies to save face. What’s next? You’ll claim you’re Bhishma because you “pierce people with words”?

                      And since you brought up “Sarasvati ji ki kripa,” let’s talk about it. She blesses those who use words for wisdom, not weaponizing tantrums. You’re over here trying to mix Mahabharata threats with Bhagavatam verses like some spiritual Frankenstein. It doesn’t make you deep, it just makes you confused.

                      You sounds more nervous after losing an argument. Maybe next time, before throwing names like Keshav Kashmiri around, make sure you don’t fit the role better than the one you’re mocking. You should be thankful, Prabhu. I’m giving you free lessons in “Defeat Without Damage” — you’re getting humbled with humor instead of arrows.

                      And to Gaurav Prabhu ji, thank you for the kind words. When Sarasvati Devi’s grace flows, it’s meant to be used in service of truth — not in defense against the theatrics of self-proclaimed Duryodhanas. Some people collect beads; others collect grudges. I prefer blessings. Hari Hari.

                    • Very good observation Gaurav Prabhu ji :)

                      Vaise Sarasvati ji ki kripa digvijayi pandit Keshav Kashmiri pe bhi thi par galti toh woh bhi kar baithe aur ek nahi anek. Haha 

                    • what i am stating is totally unrelated to the topic under discussion and definitely unrelated to the fight underway...

                      i must say i like the way you put together words and sentences govind sharan prabhu.

                      haven't seen such masterful words for a long time especially on this forum.

                      saraswati devi ki mahat kripa lagati hai app pe..

                    • What is the difference between bipolar behaviour and bipolar devotee?

                    • Oh, you caught that part, did you? I said bipolar behaviour — not bipolar devotee. There’s a difference, though I can see how the line might sting when the shoe fits.

                      When someone flips from “Hare Kṛṣṇa” to “Jaan se maar dunga” in the same breath, what else should one call it? One minute you’re quoting śāstra, next minute you’re channeling Rāvaṇa with a tilak. That’s not spiritual fire, Prabhu — that’s emotional load-shedding.

                      If you really believe spiritual life means flipping between bhakti verses and death threats, then even the devas would file a harassment complaint. So yes, bipolar behaviour fits — but don’t take it as an insult, take it as diagnosis. If you actually want to be taken seriously, drop the melodrama, own your words, and stop hiding anger behind the name of Hari. Hari Hari.

                    • Bipolar behaviour?

    • Hare Krishna mataji 

      I am sorry, It was some technical issue i also saw it later that there are two questions now, and I don't know how to close them.
