You tell 'em MM. Kick in the shins for me. I am a little girl just like you are a little mouse. I am always afraid to reveal my identity on these forums. Those big bad bullies might call me names, and that would be very upsetting. I might even have to cry and tell my mommy. ;D jijaji, Please I am not just a little mouse, I am Mighty Mouse as bad as any Kingcobra or Queenbee or what have you. Good to see you here

He said no one would know the true teachings of Bhaktivinode fully until they were republished from the original manuscripts he had. They would have passed on to Bhakta Ma or Sachinandana probably, but they are gone now too. So, I don't know who has them. If someone could get them and do a proper translation, that would be great. Thanks, Subaldasji, for stepping up and introducing yourself to the group. I had the good fortune of meeting your guru once in Birnagar. It was a great experience. Somewhere around here I have a letter from him. He filled in many of the gaps in my knowledge about initiation and standing of his older brother. He gave me some books and informed me that he had many unpublished manuscripts of Bhaktivinode Thakur's in the almirahs in his room. I was fascinated and wondered what other treasures might be kept there. Any idea where those mss are these days? Anyway, thanks for introducing yourself. Who's next? Kingcobra? Goddess? Madanmohan? Mightymouse?

Neither Ramdass nor Babba Freejohn or even Pajama Mama,
Enlightenment is not this, not that, nor can a single Satori manifest it's brilliance in sectarian filth or the hypnosis of belief.

Mightymouse? Wow that sounds really interesting; Srila Bhaktivinode Thakur's original work. Those manuscripts must be available somewhere... Here is something that I found over the Internet: Introduction
In response to a request by one of his sons for more information about his life, Sri Kedarnath Datta Bhaktivinoda wrote a short autobiographical work, Svalikhita-jivani. He completed it on June 21, 1896 at the age of 58. It is 200 pages long and it offers us an absorbing account of his very personal life story that takes us from his birth in 1838 through to his retirement as Deputy Magistrate in 1894 at age 56.
The translation used here must be credited largely to the respected Pundit and Sanskrit scholar, Sri Shukavak N. Dasa. According to him, there is little doubt that this is the authentic version of Bhaktivinoda's autobiography.
"I originally received the Svalikhita-jivani through a friend and subsequently found a published edition in the London India Office Library. Since the Svalikhita-jivani would have a critical bearing on how Bhaktivinoda's developing life was interpreted, I traveled to West Bengal to authenticate the text. To my delight I found the original handwritten manuscript in the possession of one elderly lady, Bhakta Ma.
"She allowed me to photograph the handwritten text. To determine authenticity, I compared its handwriting with handwriting from other manuscripts by Bhaktivinoda. I also compared the printed edition with the original handwritten manuscript. I am convinced that the printed edition is a true rendering of the original text and has not been adhered or corrupted by the editor, Lalita Prasad Datta."
[From the Introduction, "Hindu Encounter with Modernity: Kedarnath Datta Bhaktivinoda, Vaisnava Theologian" by Shukavak N. Dasa, 1999, Sanskrit Religions Institute.]
Note to first Bengali Edition:
"I have published this volume of Svalikhita Jivani, which was written by my father, for the sake of those who are favourable and who are very close to him. My honourable father ordered me not to misuse whatever was written to me by him. Such was his instruction to me. That is the reason that I cannot give this book to ordinary persons. Only one who has complete love and faith in my father can read this work. If anyone reads this volume and makes his own commentary that is against my father then he alone is responsible, not I."

I agree with what you say, but I am so confused - my life feels so aweful these days that I just want to beg for the forgiveness and mercy of Nitaidasjee - I have offended him and so many others I am sure - Will my life ever be happy again - I am so weak!

Neither Ramdass nor Babba Freejohn or even Pajama Mama, Enlightenment is not this, not that, nor can a single Satori manifest it's brilliance in sectarian filth or the hypnosis of belief. Why of course it doesn't. The enlightenment you describe exists no where but in your mind as a fantasy. There is a very easy way to achieve the enlightenment you seek. It involves a hammer and a sharp hard blow to the frontal cortex. No sectarianism or hypnosis involved.

Yes, I remember now. Sri Lalitaprasad Thakur insisted that all of Bhaktivinode's books published by GM were corrupt and that they had to be done over from the mss. He told me so many things during that day or two, it was hard to keep everything straight. If someone is able to find the mss, perhaps Jagat and I can work something out to redo them. It would be good to have reliable editions of that corpus out.

God, you're such a ham. What am I to forgive you for? Whatever it was, you're forgiven. Kindly forgive me for my offenses at your feet, too, while we're at it. As far as mercy is concerned, the mercy-distribution factory in this neighborhood is jd33, kingcobra. or goddess. I will put in an order and ask for some to be delivered to you. One has to be a bhakta to touch the stuff. Anyway, can we put all that behind us now?

It may be a fantasy, but it is a delicious one. I like it better than your fantasy, which really does seem insane to me. What do you have against yonis, anyway? Every good man needs a good yoni. It is humbling.

Of course any other understanding of Enlightenment seems insane to you, you belong to a very narrow minded belief system that sees all other paths of spirituality outside your own as less and not as complete. Many CV's and GV's too see the Buddha as a Demon, where this idea of Enlightenment you deem as insane is derived from. Buddha would say Enlightenment that equals men transforming themselves into sari wearing females with yonis was a defilement. Yonis? Yes I agree every good man needs one, but as a wife or lover, not between his own legs  A religion that castrates all men into females with yonis to serve the supreme man is a perversion of nature and the laws of the universe. Ok the fake jijaji can come out now and do his spin job ;D

Hey Mickey Mouse, if you continue like that I will start calling you Yoni Mouth.... How that sounds to you? It appears that your problem is either absence of one or the desire of have one between your legs... Or perhaps you actually want to become some sort of Self Realized Yoni...? However the case maybe, it is time for your to stop your stinking jokes and unnecessary attacks. I am not saying you should leave, no that is not the idea here, but make your self a bit more sophisticate, realistic; you deserve it. Moreover, most of the audience in here are all grown up people and they will not feel so much attraction to play this old, Wild West Bang-Bang fashion with you... Here, go to watch something you may like: (when kid I use to love it)>>> Mighty Mouse, The New Adventures I see you later MM.

Mahasaya,
If you read back a bit you will see that I certainly did not start a thing but reacted to the founder of this website after he insulted me and the ideas of enlightenment I have understood from the Buddha.
That is when I started with a counterattack and defending the good name of the Buddha and his exemplary realization of what enlightment is.
It seems you have a double standard here, or should I say 'one-sided'.
And excuse me CV and GV males are the ones who practice meditative hypnosis imagining themselves as females wearing saris and bangles and having yonis, not the followers of Buddha or even Shankara.
