Biography of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu
I bought this book from a member of ISKCON member( a caucasian at that ) who came selling the book door to door on Bhagvatgita Jayanthi...I had brush in my mouth at 10 am in the morning and thought it was rude to go in to clean my mouth and continued to tlak to him with brush in my mouth in sign language ...gross!....after reading this book, apart from knowing th biography of this person, I didnt get the essensce of the teachings...i just cannot keep my mind from wandering and making funny smart ass remarks about getting lost in Krishna's Leela's. and find enchantment in chanting Krishnas praise..his beauty...how can i gain enlightenment if I say that Krishna has beautful eyes, dresses in gold and pearls and is blue /black in color? ". I find anuhya eating food, or dancing or shaking her legs more enchanting than anything else in this world...so is that it? i dont get it man....i reallllly dont get it....guess i am not blessed to know/explore the spiritual world...just didnt get it!.

aruna,
ahaaaaa...when my mil(mother-in-law) asked me to read "sundara kaandam" book during my second pregnancy, i tried a lot and could not go beyond a couple of pages. All i did was sleep eventually. I confessed to her that i could not read it, and much to my surprise she said she will read it for me and she did.
I love all those stories in hindu theology, "thiruvilaiyadal",etc.But this one,really cannot understand the significance of what this episode will bestow upon the reader while she is pregnant.
