I wrote a story for the hing. But what is Eric’s email address?!

Dearest Nandi:
All articles are welcome at The Hing. I’m not sure but prabhu Eric may use the pendulum method. He hangs the sacred pendulum over the emailed article and sees which way it rotates. East to west motion indicates demonic lies. North to south motion indicates that author is a silly sausage [veg. of course]. How he makes his final dicision is a complete mystery.

Since I am not fond of bull, I go by Nandini, so…
Regarding your editorial methods, perfect, I found the place for my otherwise under worshipped creations. Thanks so much for providing such freed space. Or for having freed some space. Or for having freely spaced. Or, whatever…

Dearest Nandini pujarini:
Yes, I so look forward to your writing on The Hing site herein. Did you spell everything correctly? I hope so.
Anyway, mataji, I am sure the devotees will be enlightened by reading it. This is especially true if they have failed to gain any insight and spiritual advancement by reading Gita for the past twenty years

Devak……averting my eyes when beautiful, juicy, sunwashed, full bosom maiden ladies passby. [ That relates to my most recent falldown. I can't go into any details right now.]

Devak.. Seriously were you an ISKCON guru or are you just taking the passed water??
10 Nandini // Jul 6, 2008 at 11:09 am
Devak,
I am sure your ongoing and and clearly upheld falldown is the source of newer and truer insights, a plunge in reality which you never imagined possible in those 20 years of Gita studies of yours.
May you continued to joyfully share this Absolute Truth, for the horizon is infinite when one sees that the Big But and the Juicy Boob are in everything and everyone. Rejoice.

Dearest Nandini & Samosananda:
Thank you kindly but I do not favor the drinking of urine for most devotees as you state in your note above.
I follow the advice of my dear departed guru in drinking the fermented juice of the grapes that come from a place in Gujurat. The taxes on each bottle go to pay for an orphanage for boys and girls. I do my very best to help society in every way I possibly can.
Yes, dear Nandini I pray for your enlightenment sometime in the next week. If you read Gita today you can have tomorrow off from your usual prayers. But do not forget to wash all of the mens clothes by the river. [Not the river Ganges...it is more dirty than the clothes]. I was just guessing…maybe you are nearby some other river.
Lastly, you mention those Big and Juicy things that avert me from Godhead. Was that necessary? You are so naughty.
Devak…….preaching shastra to the ladies of the evening whenever I can.

Dearest Devotees:
I pasted that question above for you all to read and enjoy.
Can you imagine what type of person would ask such a question? After all I have done to lift myself and the devotees from their fallen material state. I don’t ride in a Rolls Royce car.
I have devoted my life to the cheeseburger eaters of the world. I want them to see the error of their ways and chant the maha mantra.
ISKCON is just a tiny baby step on the road to Godhead. That road is paved with asphalt. It’s black and sticky and will trap you. It’s like the flypaper here in India.
I’m I making sense? I hope I am but I’m really not sure. A falldown is a falldown.
Devak….now I just go barefoot and take some camcorder videos of my journey for YouTube
13 Samosananda Das // Jul 7, 2008 at 8:11 pm
Sorry… “Taking the passed water” or more literally “taking the p*ss ” is a Brit way of saying ” are you having us on?” … not literally drinking pee!!! Apologies for the unintentional aparadha!
No offence intended but was just wondering if you were really an ISKCON Guru. Just an innocent question considering the satrical nature of your posts..

Dear Samosananda Das:
Your post was sent to me today via the Hing site concerning if my posts are satirical in nature. I will answer you herewith immediately!
I get the strange feeling that you’re not as an innocent boy as you seem to be. By the way, I assume you’re in the UK and you are associated with the Hare Krishna people? Do you know my friend Dr. Tommy Gouranga up in Scotland? He is on kirtan and doing a great work for Krsna. I digress.
Please don’t let the GBC or their masters, the ISKCON know where I am at the present. Since my falldown I have been here in India, a sacred place for cows and Americans. I am staying at the home of a stranger and his lovely family. They are devoted to Lord Krishna. Thanks be to God.
So you see, everyone one here on this Hing site has a sad story to tell. Don’t we all have some sob story. Do you have one? Krsna will lighten your heart, young man. Be happy, don’t worry.
I will light a candle for you and your friends in the UK. You’re at or near the top of my prayer list for this week. I do this just for you.
Don’t worry, you did not cause an unforgiveable aparadha. I send you a big maha shout out from India.
Just say, Gouranga! I do and it makes me happy!
Devak……on the path to forever

Did you get my pics? Are they the kind of stuff you’d be interested in? Satire-y enough?
Cheers

I wrote a funny article over at Sampradaya Sun (in my other alliase as Suresh das) called B.Y.O.B. (Bring Your Own Banana). I went to a fire sacrifice a number of months back at the L.A. Temple. A little girl reached for a banana before the sacrifice began and was loudly chastised and scolded by the head priest – “Bananas are only for people who paid for the sacrifice.” I honestly was really insulted by this behavior. What does a banana cost these days a buck maybe? I said it under my breath, but I felt like screaming it – B.Y.O.B. Bring your own banana! Bring your own banana to the next fire sacrifice you attend.
Anyway here’s my new idea for Janmastami and other big temple events: B.Y.O.T. (Bring Your Own Tali). For $108 at the local temple you get a silver-plated tray, three sticks of incense, a tiny flower, and a simple ghee lamp. I figure your Tali at most costs under $10.00. Since you get to keep your Tali at the end of the service to take home, why not make your own Tali that you take to the temple each time and save money?
For $50.00 at the local temple you get a paper plate Tali. For $5.00 or even less you can make your own.
End high inflation now and B.Y.O.T.!

Say you are in a bind and need some extra laxmi. Remember running around parking lots in days of hold out on Sankirtan. Well why not run around the temple parking lot during the big festival like Janmastami and sell Talis to temple guests? Imagine the suprise and outrage on the temple president’s face when his Tali program has failed – you under cut him by selling his $108 Tali for a mere $25 each in the parking lot of his own temple!

Or if someone set up a car puja stand in the parking lot.
22 Boy-R-D dasa (not the chef) // Sep 14, 2008 at 1:56 pm
Be careful about this, and I am being serious here. You could be banned by your local GBC for this stuff.
You don’t want to walk into the temple, be asked to purchase a thali, tell them that you brought your own, and get banned from all future festivals.
Just be non-descrete and pull out your thali from your bag at the last moment, so you can offer it along with everybody else.
The main point is to worship the Deities. It is not necessary to pay piles of money for a thali though that you can put together yourself at home.
