Tip of the day:  Pictures and text of Krishna-Janmashtami Festival in
Mumbai at http://www.mumbai-central.com/misc/govinda.html
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hello everyone,

I am trying to catch up with the past two days postings, with the festive
season here, I did not touch the computer for two days.

It seems people here understand half the logic and the other half is left to
their misunderstanding
Do read what is written at the end:
AND I SUMMARIZE BY SAYING THAT ALL THE ABOVE WAS WRITTEN AS PER MILIND'S
SUGGESTION, i.e. do what you want, there is no Karma

Rajesh, in this letter is only trying to prove that one can not do anything
and say that the law of Karma does not work.

>But Karma.. escuse me.. does everything has to do with karma?? We have an
esteemed member of this list who links everything with Karma. And the
discussions are getting strayed with that. I have studied Geeta extensively in
last few years.

If a person who has no knowledge writes the above, it is justified.
However, if a person who says who has learned the Gita EXTENSIVELY writes, its
a pity. Instead of guiding people after reading the Gita, the persons comments
would TOTALLY LEAD PEOPLE ASTRAY.

Kindly refer to B.G. 16/16 

aneka-citta-vibhranta 
moha-jala-samavrtah 
prasaktah kama-bhogesu 
patanti narake 'sucau

TRANSLATION 
Thus perplexed by various anxieties and bound by a network of illusions, one
becomes too strongly attached to sense enjoyment and falls down into hell. 
PURPORT 
The demoniac man knows no limit to his desire to acquire money. That is
unlimited. He only thinks how much assessment he has just now and schemes to
engage that stock of wealth farther and farther. For that reason, he does not
hesitate to act in any sinful way and so deals in the black market for illegal
gratification. He is enamored by the possessions he has already, such as land,
family, house and bank balance, and he is always planning to improve them. He
believes in his own strength, and he does not know that whatever he is gaining
is due to his past good deeds. He is given an opportunity to accumulate such
things, but he has no conception of past causes. He simply thinks that all his
mass of wealth is due to his own endeavor. A demoniac person believes in the
strength of his personal work, not in the law of karma. According to the law
of karma, a man takes his birth in a high family, or becomes rich, or very
well educated, or very beautiful because of good work in the past. The
demoniac think that all these things are accidental and due to the strength of
his personal ability. He does not sense any arrangement behind all the
varieties of people, beauty, and education

So, I do not claim that the law of Karma is sponsored.
Ironically, someone who says he has extensive knowledge writes like that.
Whilst I am never boasting that I am superior or I know Gita well, I too am
just a seeker, but it makes me sad that someone who calls himself highly
knowledgeble talks like that.
As if that is not enough, he goes on to say that 
>That is a very personal law and should not be discussed in public because
everyone's interpretation of that is different
Again this is ironical.
What needs to be discussed i.e. what God wants of us SHOULD BY ALL MEANS
DISCUSSED IN PUBLIC.
We are actually doing our duty by educating the people.
This is Karma yoga!
Not what one says everyones interpretation is different
That is basically the whole fault.
Each person should not be interpretating as per their own whims and fancies.
Doing wrong in the guise of interpretating the law wrongly does not pardon you
if you have commited a crime and use that justification.

Regarding the other issues, i.e. man and vegetarinism, an article that
educates us  was already forwarded previously. In case some of the people (who
misunderstand the issues and start mocking at others) have not read it, I will
only be too delighted to provide the same.

Regards

Sandeep
