They drift off topics while talking and behave like a child while thier age is 70+ years. </p><p>Does this mean the same mind( not stable condition) goes with them to next body? Since any body related issues would be finished when body dies.</p><p>Is this the reason some kids are born mentally retarded from birth ?? </p><p>I am trying to understand as I see both situations, where a young kid is mentally retarded and an elderly person who was completely fine till recently and then is not mentally stable after some illness (hoping things dont get worst). </p><p>Also, what happens to the elderly person who has done some bhakti (chanted maha mantra, served devotees, visited dhamas etc) and when does the kid who is mentally retraded going to be normal (in future life times or will it be the same in all life's since mind is completely not stable)</p><p>Really appreciate some insights on these cases from spiritual perspective?</p><p>Devotees prayers are required for them, thank you so much.</p><p>PS: I might be wrong in understanding the concept's of BG, please correct me.</p><p>Thank you,</p><p>Manjula</p></div>Looking for devotee matajis to helphttps://iskcondesiretree.com/forum/topics/looking-for-devotee-matajis-to-help2024-02-04T17:36:59.000Z2024-02-04T17:36:59.000ZAdarshhttps://iskcondesiretree.com/members/Adarsh<div><p>Hare Krishna, all devotees.

Only Krishna knows best. But still I wonder how you all deal with covid if you are unshure. I am not afraid of death as for you are not this body you are the soul, just the ignorance tought it might be painfull if death would comes near. No not al with covid leaves their body, some are okay, others are longcovid or other difficulties. How a krishna counsiousness person would deal with a come? If that happens and if it is for a long time is there palliative sedation or let the body just lay down until death, wich could end up years and years like that? To be honest, if I get in coma and not able to chant or do service, please suïcide/palliative sedation or just kill me would be fine. As for you always make progress in bhakti during this body, it will transfer to a newly body. Not necsecery a human being. Loads of purana stories tells us, krishna conciousness never ever fades. His devotes He always saves. Even if it means a small portion in a body not fit to get much progress, but than again on Krishna's miracle ways beget a human body after that or more lives. There is no rush, for the soul is eterna, a lifetime is just a blink of an eye! Why People even devotees are so axious about it? Hell or non human spieces are just nothing to a devotee! In the scriptures even do a little effort of bhakti, one get's big results! The books yell at us, but we all yell back that it is impossible and curcumstances... yeah right! Krishna over and over comes to tell us we are all wrong, and we not get it. The soul is forever, the body just to gain bhakti and learn how to get closer to Krishna, that's all. No matter wich body you are in. That is why I give animals maha prasadam where and whenever I can and water care for plants and such. Cuz you can be that animal or plant who did in previous life a so called misstap and by the mercy of Krishna due a devotee get mahaprasadam or mahamantra or darshan of Krishna's many forms! JAYA!</p><p> </p><p>So again how would you stand in my shoes if could choose between coma for years (if it goes wrong) or quikly get another body to preform my duty again, not necsecery a human being. Even a flower to serve in a mala for Krishna or veggie or even fruit or wood to buid a temple or Ratha Yatra chariot! So many ways to help Krishna, why humans are so stressed out? No flowers, no mala's no food, no bhoga, no wood, no means of construction etc.! I for one almost think it is kinda egoïstic almost to stay in human lifeform. Humans who are non devotees do destry the earth as it is. That's kali yuga! But how about be a Tulasi plant or Holy fig tree,... you end up helping tons of devotees! Just think about this! How many years an animal lives? How many years a plant/tree lives? How long is a Kalpa? Well the soul lives eternal so what gives!</p><p>Thank you for reading this perhaps disturbing post of me again. I just like to see what other devotees think of Krishna and it's relationship, how they all deal with.How far are you in bhakti, could you offer your body fully, surrender to Him, or you like to save your body as it is and be n coma for several years, not able to chant or render service?!</p><p> </p><p>Hare Krishna!</p></div>What foods can be eaten during first month of chaturmas (ie shravan mas) if i wish to followhttps://iskcondesiretree.com/forum/topics/what-foods-can-be-eaten-during-first-month-of-chaturmas-ie-shrava2022-07-27T21:07:21.000Z2022-07-27T21:07:21.000ZVarun Panthttps://iskcondesiretree.com/members/VarunPant<div><p><strong>Hare Krishna, During First month of chaturmas ie Shravan Mas: No leafy vegetables, such as </strong></p><p><strong><em>spinach, </em></strong></p><p><strong><em>salads of all types, </em></strong></p><p><strong><em>cabbages of all types, </em></strong></p><p><strong><em>kale, </em></strong></p><p><strong><em>leafy herbs like coriander, </em></strong></p><p><strong><em>mint, </em></strong></p><p><strong><em>parsley, </em></strong></p><p><strong><em>curry and </em></strong></p><p><strong><em>powdered leafy herbs and teas.</em></strong></p><p> </p><p><strong><em>So which vegetables can be eaten.

I think of myself as using the body that Krishna put me in as a way to appreciate and love the world that Krishna also created. Moving on the rock is a yoga to me, it helps me meditate on my every move, and concentrate on the breath carefully. I want to know if my reasons for climbing can be transferred into devotional service unto Krishna?Thank you</div>gelatin free Vitamin D tabletshttps://iskcondesiretree.com/forum/topics/gelatin-free-vitamin-d-tablets2015-12-07T04:34:41.000Z2015-12-07T04:34:41.000ZManishhttps://iskcondesiretree.com/members/Manish898<div><p>Hare Krsna, </p><p></p><p>AGTSP, </p><p></p><p>I was looking for any gelatin free Vitamin D brand if available, I am severely Vitamin D deficiency patient, but once i came to know that Vitamin D capsule contains Gelatin which comes from Cow meat I feel disguised and start looking for some brand which is gelatin free for Vitamin D. </p><p></p><p></p><p>Regards..</p><p>Manish</p></div>Cow Urine - Is it safe and good for human consumption?https://iskcondesiretree.com/forum/topics/cow-urine-is-it-safe-and-good-for-human-consumption2015-07-16T05:49:04.000Z2015-07-16T05:49:04.000ZAnurag Sangalhttps://iskcondesiretree.com/members/AnuragSangal<div><p>Hare Krishna Prabhu jis and Matajis – PAMHO – AGTSP,</p><p> </p><p>I want to take your views, reviews and feedbacks on consuming Cow Urine ( GoMutra, GoArk ) available in Iskcon.

In 1997 I stopped eating red meat. In 1998 I stopped eating chicken. Earlier this year I gave up turkey. In May of this year, fish phased it's way out of my diet. In June eggs were the last meat product to go. Now I'm considering garlic and onions since devotees have explained to me that it's considered a stimulant and goes against the regulation of no intoxication. I'm having a difficult time understanding that. One sweet devotee told me that it throws off the hormones and it's too strong for the senses in taste and smell. I have been a strong advocate for garlic in the past and I've used it excessively in cooking. I've also believed that it has many benefits to the health and works as a natural antioxidant. </p><p></p><p>I humbly request for some clarity on this subject.</p><p>I thank you in advance for your precious time.</p><p>Haribol!</p></div>
