Welcome to Dandavats. I hope that your visit is the first of many and that our relationship will be a long lasting and mutually fruitful one.
As we all know the internet is the fastest growing medium for communication available and it is likely to be so long into the future. As a result the outreach and association opportunities for devotees and friends of Lord Krishna are unlimited.
Dandavats is a small offering of assistance toward that outreach and devotional sanga.
Every day we are bombarded with more and more horror stories which for devotees merely confirm the advice of sastra – padam padam yad vipadam – from global warming to war, from famine to terrorism from natural disasters to gratuitous violence to mention just a few.
It is now more evident than ever that the words of Srila Prabhupada and Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Thakura should be both remembered and broadcast far and wide to protect everyone from the inevitable conclusion of material existence:
“So wherever we go all over the world, our only request is, please try to understand Krsna. Then your life is successful.” – Srila Prabhupada
“Everything is here in this world, nothing is lacking except Krsna consciousness.”
“The kindness that Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu has shown to jivas [souls] absolves them eternally from all wants, from all inconveniences and from all distresses. That kindness does not produce any evil, and the jivas who have it will not be the victims of the evils of the world.” – Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Thakura
We look forward to your assistance via Dandavats.com in communicating the above eternal message of Krsna consciousness. Please contribute as often and as frequently as you desire.
Hare Krsna, Praghosa dasa
Son of Dipika.org! Another non-official \\\\\\\”independent\\\\\\\” mouthpiece for the \\\\\\\”living acharyas\\\\\\\” is born.
Off to an inauspicious start with the first editorial being a re-instigation of the flame war about the leniency with gay devotees proposal from HDG. I thought that this disgusting idea had been chewed and re-chewed to death on Chakra.org a year ago!
Pragosh prabhu, why not use your (considerable) talents and energy to assist or expand an existing, and truly independent website as Sampradaya Sun
Dear Praghosa Prabhu,
Please accept my humble obeisances.
All glories to Srila Prabhupada.
Thank you very much for launching Dandavats.com
It fills a much needed gap in Cyberspace.
Hoping this meets you in good health and in a blissful mood,
Your servant,
Sankarshan Das Adhikari
Hare Krishna. I am sorry, but it feels somewhat impersonal to address someone who refers to himself as \\\\\\\”worm in stool\\\\\\\”. What can be more disgusting than that? It must be a heavy self-image to carry around. No wonder you are disgusted by other people, including devotees who happen to possess a material body.
Maybe it´s very convenient to be a worm; one doesn´t have to worry one´s mind with spiritual qualities like equal vision and respect towards every living entity (Bhagavad-gita 5.18).
Thank you Praghosha prabhu, for lauching this website. It looks promising!
