Cigars and Japa Yoga Pt.2

For me, I am a Thelemite still, who has just adopted this "religion of Krishsna" because I thinik it is the most advanced yoga to get to the Supreme Goal, and I have been convinced of the fact of Golok, and of the goal of being a real Goswami who writes about all the newer and newer pastimes of Lord Krishna-I have not given up the real goal of Thelema, either--and that "faith" allows one to smoke as he pleases, eat what he pleases, and shoot into the body anything he pleases--and no ecclesiastical power has any right to stop him, or to regulate that--that is up to him alone.

It is a little observed fact, but I, for instance, am not a member of ISKCON--never have been, although I have "gone to church" there for a number of years. And the Sri Chairanya Saraswat Math does not like me--there was some little incident years ago and they appear to have long, long memories, and I do not like that--it is not a good quality.

So I find myself not associating with anybody at this time but the acarya, Srila Prabhupada, and his supporting player, Srila Sridhar Dev Goswami. I am currently reading the 2d volume of Srila Sridhar's sermons, and I have been writing so much that I am neglecting Bhagavad Gita As It Is. But Prabhupada says, "If you think the temple admimistration is not very good, you can keep company directly with the acarya.

Mind you, I dont have any idea where all these quotes are that you find here--but I am not going to look any of them up if you disbelieve me; I say these are axctual quotes and if you need to know so much, look them up yourself!
