We'd love to see you there!

Recorded 28th November 2024Welcome to a deep exploration of Verse 7 by Raghunātha Dāsa Gosvāmī, accompanied by the commentary of Ananta Dāsa Bābājī.This discourse addresses core themes of Gaudiya Vaishnava philosophy and the confidential moods of loving devotion.The Intense Fire of Separation (Viraha): A contemplation on the internal burning of separation and the "language of the heart" that expresses itself only in solitude.The Condition of Complete Surrender ("First Become Mine"): The necessity of 100% submission, casting aside material desires, and clinging to the Divine like a shadow.The Unmatched Mood of the Manjari (Kiṅkarī): The unique position of Śrī Rādhā's maidservants, who intuitively understand her deepest emotions and guard her confidential pastimes.Why Krishna Became Śrī Chaitanya Mahāprabhu: Moving away from the enjoyer (puruṣa) disposition to embrace the supreme mood of service (sevā), relishing the peerless sweetness of Rādhārāṇī's love.The Mystery of the Dialogue with Rāmānanda Rāya: An esoteric discussion on prema-vilāsa-vivarta and why Mahāprabhu covered Rāmānanda Rāya's mouth to prevent further disclosure of hidden truths.Sādhana Practice & The Role of the Disciple: How to maintain the posture of an eternal learner (sādhaka) and continuously foster inner spiritual realization.visit: http://beautyofreallove.com/visit: https://sadhumaharaja.net/audio: https://tinyurl.com/BeautyOfRealLove#bhakti #bhaktiyoga #raganugabhakti #radha #krishna #gaudiya #sadhumaharajaVilapa Kusumanjali Lectures: https://tinyurl.com/VilapaKusumanjaliVilapa Kusumanjali morning lectures: https://tinyurl.com/VrindavanMorningKIRTAN live: https://tinyurl.com/MungerKirtanLiveQandA with Sadhu Maharaja: https://tinyurl.com/QandAwithSadhuMaharajaRadha Rasa Sudhanidhi Lectures: https://tinyurl.com/RadhaRasaSudhanidhiLectures

Recorded 29th November 2024In this recording, we explore verse 7 and the accompanying commentary on Śrīla Raghunātha Dāsa Gosvāmī's Vilāpa-kusumāñjali. The discussion touches upon the most confidential topics of Bhakti-yoga: Why Kṛṣṇa Appeared as Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu: Kṛṣṇa had three unfulfilled desires—to understand the depth of Rādhikā's love (Mahābhāva), Her emotions, and Her golden complexion. Just as one cannot know the weight of a burden without carrying it, Śyāmasundara took Her mood onto His own shoulders, experiencing intense, ecstatic transformations in the Gambhīrā cell. The Mood of the Maidservants (Kinkarīs / Mañjarīs): The maidservants embody the quintessence of Mahābhāva. They intimately prepare the kuñja at Rādhā-kuṇḍa, and Kṛṣṇa Himself desires to taste the sweetness of their mood of selfless service. Spiritual Greed (raganuga-bhakti): Genuine progress in devotion depends on spiritual greed (laulyam), which must arise directly within the soul rather than the dull material mind. Overcoming False Ego: False ego (ahaṅkāra) traps the soul in bodily identification and temporary sense enjoyment. By taking shelter of Śrī Gurudeva and absorbing ourselves in our spiritual identity, we transcend the material body and awaken true divine longing.visit: http://beautyofreallove.com/visit: https://sadhumaharaja.net/audio: https://tinyurl.com/BeautyOfRealLove#bhakti #bhaktiyoga #raganugabhakti #radha #krishna #gaudiya #sadhumaharajaVilapa Kusumanjali Lectures: https://tinyurl.com/VilapaKusumanjaliVilapa Kusumanjali morning lectures: https://tinyurl.com/VrindavanMorningKIRTAN live: https://tinyurl.com/MungerKirtanLiveQandA with Sadhu Maharaja: https://tinyurl.com/QandAwithSadhuMaharajaRadha Rasa Sudhanidhi Lectures: https://tinyurl.com/RadhaRasaSudhanidhiLectures

If you grew up in an Indian home, you probably touch a book to your forehead when your foot brushes it. Nobody taught you that. And yet, somebody did.In this short episode, Prof. Pankaj Jain reflects on Pitṛ Pakṣa (Pitru Paksha), the fortnight of the ancestors. It falls between Bhagwan Gaṇeśa's visarjan and Maa Durgā's arrival, when many Hindu families pause to remember those who came before them.In this episode:What pitṛ means, and why it's a cousin of Latin pater and English fatherThe quiet rite of śrāddha: water from cupped hands, rice on a leaf, a crow called down to eatWhy śrāddha comes from śraddhā, faith, whose old sense is "to place your heart somewhere"Why a fortnight called "inauspicious" is really asking us to look backIt was never a pause for the dead. It's a pause for where you came from.

Welcome to Daily Bitachon and our final pre-Sukkot thought. As we all know and have mentioned before, our sukkah is a continuation of Yom Kippur, specifically in the realm of teshuvah . The Rambam, in the Laws of Teshuvah (2:4) and based on the Gemara in Rosh Hashanah 16b, outlines a sequence of steps to help a person achieve full teshuvah and kapparah . He concludes with the principle that one exiles himself, because exile brings atonement for sin by causing a person to become humble and low of spirit. Sukkah as Exile and the Path to Humility Humility leads directly to teshuvah . That is why the Pesikta DeRav Kahana teaches that Sukkot follows Yom Kippur: if exile was decreed upon us, dwelling in the sukkah serves as that exile. How does the sukkah accomplish this? Exile humbles us, and entering the sukkah instills that very humility. That humility is our ultimate goal. Rabbeinu Yonah in Shaarei Teshuvah (1:23) writes that humility is one of the fundamentals of teshuvah , citing Tehillim 90:3: "Tashev enosh ad daka" —"You return man to the point of being crushed," meaning until he is truly humble. This process began on Rosh Hashanah; as the Gemara in Rosh Hashanah 26b notes, the bent shofar symbolizes a bent, humble posture. Our primary focus throughout this entire season has been cultivating humility. On Rosh Hashanah, we emphasize humility. On Yom Kippur, fasting humbles us as we confront our frailty and powerlessness. The climax of Yom Kippur—Ne'ilah—centers on this realization: "Mah anu? Mah chayeinu?" What are we? What is our life? What is our strength? What is our power? Great leaders are as if they never existed, and the wise appear without wisdom. It is entirely about recognizing that we possess no independent power; we stand humbled before Hashem. Now, with Hashem's help, we can connect this theme to Chag HaAsif —the Festival of Ingathering—which traditionally refers to harvesting our grain and produce. The Furrows of Arrogance Rav Yerucham often noted that one can study a negative trait and apply its inverse to the positive. Rabbeinu Yonah in Shaarei Teshuvah (1:27) explains that arrogance causes numerous sins and grants the yetzer hara the strength to overpower a person. He cites Devarim 8:14: "Your heart will become haughty, and you will forget Hashem your God." He also brings Mishlei 21:4: "Haughty eyes and an arrogant heart are the furrow ( nir ) of the wicked for sin." What does this mean? Haughtiness functions like a furrow plowed by the wicked into their own hearts. Once someone adopts an arrogant mindset, sins take root and grow abundantly, just as crops thrive in the furrows of a plowed field. If a farmer sows an unplowed field, the seeds struggle to take root and yield a meager crop; but when the soil is well-plowed, seeds take root easily, producing a bountiful harvest. Rabbeinu Yonah is teaching us that the seeds of wrongdoing readily take root in a haughty heart and yield an abundance of sin. Those very same seeds of transgression would shrivel and die in a humble heart. The Beit HaLevi opens his essay on humility by stating that haughtiness is among the most severe sins in the Torah, leading a person toward every possible evil. He quotes the Midrash (Bereishit Rabbah 22:6): when the yetzer hara sees an arrogant person, he says, "This one belongs to me." Rabbeinu Yonah elaborates that just as a farmer plows furrows to produce an abundant yield and gather a large crop ( le'esof rov tevuot ), the wicked plow furrows of haughtiness to cultivate and gather sins. Notice his use of the root asifah (ingathering)—the exact terminology of Chag HaAsif . Plowing the Heart for Teshuvah In his commentary on Mishlei (21:4), Rabbeinu Yonah states what he said in Shaare Teshuvah and adds that this metaphor also works in the positive direction: a baal teshuvah must cultivate his heart for repentance. In Yirmiyahu 4:3, Hashem instructs the people of Yehudah and Yerushalayim: "Niru lachem nir ve'al tizre'u el kotzim" —"Plow for yourselves a furrow, and do not sow among thorns. Circumcise yourselves to Hashem, and remove the barriers of your hearts." (See Rabbenu Yonah Mishlei 24:30 more at length) Just as a farmer plows to soften the soil so seeds can take root, while uprooting thorns that would ruin the crop, a Jew must plow furrows in his heart. This allows the seeds of teshuvah to flourish while eliminating the destructive barriers of arrogance. This brings us to our main point: throughout the Yamim Noraim, we plowed our hearts to cultivate humility. Our Sages teach: "Kol shanah sherashah bit'chilatah, mit'asheret besofah" —a year that begins poor and humble ends in spiritual wealth, echoing the verse "Tachanunim yedaber rash" (the poor man speaks with supplication). After plowing our hearts, we arrived at Yom Kippur and planted the seeds of teshuvah —our positive commitments and resolutions for the new year. Miraculously, within just four days, a harvest begins to emerge. In many communities, the Yom Kippur liturgy around Kol Nidrei highlights the verse "Or zaru'a latzaddik u'leyishrei lev simchah" —light is sown for the righteous. On Rosh Hashanah, Hashem is our light ( Hashem ori ), and we sow those lights. These spiritual seeds sprout with extraordinary speed. Just as the Jewish people crossed the Jordan on the tenth of Nisan and miraculously harvested grain for the Korban HaOmer days later, Hashem fosters rapid growth in our hearts. By the time Sukkot arrives, we are ready for Chag HaAsif —the ingathering of the spiritual harvest cultivated within us. The True Meaning of Chag HaAsif The Rashbam (on Vayikra 23:43) explains why Sukkot occurs during this specific agricultural season. When a farmer gathers his grain into the silo, a natural sense of self-satisfaction and pride arises over his hard work and success. Hashem therefore commanded the mitzvah of sukkah to remind us that we once lived in the desert without permanent shelter, dwelling only in fragile booths. By reflecting on this, we recognize that every success is an unearned gift from Hashem, leading us to deep gratitude. This timing directly counteracts the haughtiness that material prosperity often generates. The sukkah instills humility so that we do not become arrogant and forget our Creator. This also explains why Sukkot is celebrated in Tishrei rather than in Nisan, when the Clouds of Glory ( Ananei HaKavod ) first appeared: we need this specific lesson at harvest time. In Moreh Nevuchim , the Rambam writes that Sukkot teaches us to remember difficult times while experiencing prosperity. This perspective inspires genuine gratitude and deepens humility. We leave our comfortable homes to dwell in temporary huts—just as our ancestors wandered in the wilderness—recalling our vulnerable beginnings. Any prosperity that followed was not achieved by our own power; it came through Hashem's kindness and the covenant He made with Avraham, Yitzchak, and Yaakov in honor of their righteousness. The Rambam notes that this is a foundational principle of the Torah: every blessing we receive comes through the merit of the Avot . This is the deeper message of the season. Sukkot is about harvesting what we have cultivated. We are presented with two paths: we can plow the heart with arrogance, sowing sin and harvesting its consequences; or we can plow with humility, softening our hearts to receive the seeds of teshuvah and gathering the beautiful spiritual harvest of our mitzvot during this festival.

Thinking about two of the offenses this morning—five and ten, I considered a few points that I'll mention now. Number five is to consider the glories of chanting Hare Kṛṣṇa to be imagination. This is a form of tacit atheism. That is, although Kṛṣṇa is present fully in His holy name, I write it off as insignificant. It doesn't exist. It's a kind of denial of God: atheism. And number 10 is related because 10 means to maintain material attachments, which doesn't mean just that I'm attached to chewing gum (nothing wrong with chewing gum, probably, and I'm trying to give it up) but it's more of a commitment to staying in the material world. That's something that Prahlāda Mahārāja mentions in the verse: matir na kṛṣṇe parataḥ svato vā mitho 'phipadyeta gṛhīvatānām adānta-gobhir viśatāṁ tamisraṁ punaḥ punaś carvita-carvaṇānām In this verse, he mentions a vrata, a vow, to stay in the material world and be engaged in materialistic activity: gṛha-vratānām. So, we are faced with a kind of conspiracy. There is a documentary and noted historical facts about a time in Los Angeles, California, when three companies—Standard Oil, Goodyear Tires, and General Motors—conspired to destroy or create the demise of the light rail system. You may notice in Los Angeles it's hard to get around by anything but car; that was engineered by three big companies that had a vested interest in tires, oil, and cars. And in a similar way, there is a conspiracy in the material world, as is mentioned by gṛha-vratānām. Individually, souls have a vow that "I'm going to stay here no matter what." As Devāmṛta Swāmī writes in one of his books, this is agreed upon by many souls. He calls it a "mass consensual trance." In other words, everyone gives consent to everybody else that, "Yeah, I'm a soul, but I'm going to remain attached to the material world." It's consensual that we'll stay here in the material world; nobody try to get out. So we have to note that it requires something like a legal strategy, first of all, to decide that we're not going to participate in the conspiracy that our mind is used to—considering the holy name to be imaginary, and then subsequently making a vow to stay ensconced in the material world. So the chanting of japa is a declaration of, "I'm not going to cooperate with the atheism of my mind."

Episode #611: “I always want to be free.” Lienchi Tran, a Vietnamese American meditation teacher, first learned what unfreedom meant in postwar Vietnam. After South Vietnam fell in 1975, her father was sent to a reeducation camp, the family was expelled from Saigon, and the children were scattered among relatives. At night, Tran tied a rubber band around her fingers to keep herself awake while reciting the Buddha's name and praying for her father's safety and eventual return. Raised in Mahāyāna Buddhism and shaped by the writings of Thích Nhất Hạnh, she began meditating seriously as a teenager. Yet an image of a Theravāda monk, seen just before her family emigrated in 1990, opened another direction. In California she found Bhante Khippañño, trained in Mahāsi practice, ordained as a nun, and traveled to Myanmar for an intensive forest retreat under Sayadaw U Paṇḍita. Myanmar felt like a second home, but the freedom she sought did not finally lie in austerity or ordination. Under Sayadaw U Tejaniya, Tran found a practice built around awareness and wisdom rather than a fixed formula. Eating, engaging in her householder task as an architect, feeling anger, and caring for family could all become part of the same investigation. The task was neither to suppress difficult states nor to make them disappear, but to know what was present and strengthen a different momentum from greed, aversion, and delusion. She applies the same approach to dāna, which she defines as a kind of letting go, and to sīla, which she notes is an examination of the mind before speech or action. Now a teacher herself, Tran no longer considers robes the measure of seriousness. She remains in the United States to care for her mother, while imagining a return to Myanmar and long practice near Sayadaw U Tejaniya when that responsibility ends. The monastery still attracts her, but not because a nun's clothing can confer freedom. Practice must proceed through the mind and conditions she actually has, including the attachment she can admit without disguise: the bed at home is still more comfortable than the one at the center.

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOWSix-Month Validation: A July 2026 test campaign with 10 AA NOVA prototypes preceded the order, lighter pack, at least equivalent performance versus Alta Ares' reference battery.High-Current Power: The AA NOVA pack uses 18 cylindrical 21700 GEN3 “high-current” cells (5,000 mAh each, 25C discharge rate, 125A per cell).Weight Advantage: Silicon-based cells delivered higher energy density than graphite, reducing onboard weight, critical for drone agility, acceleration, endurance, or payload.GEN4 In Development: Future packs could incorporate 6,000 mAh GEN4 “high-current” cells, targeting an increase in pack capacity over the current GEN3 design.NATO & French Army Traction: First GEN3 order for FPV drones destined for a French Army regiment announced in August 2026; discussions held with the NATO Energy Security Centre of Excellence in Vilnius regarding energy autonomy.STRATEGIC IMPLICATIONSThe counter-drone market is constrained by a single problem: battery weight limits flight time, payload, and responsiveness. Traditional graphite-anode cells struggle to deliver the power-to-weight ratio required for demanding interceptor missions, where every gram affects agility and every second of endurance matters. That's why Alta Ares spent nearly six months co-developing a custom solution with Novacium.Novacium's silicon-based anode technology addresses that constraint. By increasing energy density without adding weight, the AA NOVA pack can extend operational parameters, agility, acceleration, endurance, available payload, while maintaining the 25C discharge rate essential for high-speed maneuvers. For an interceptor drone designed to neutralize threats in flight, that advantage can translate directly into improved mission performance. It's also why Alta Ares and Novacium are already working on potential next-generation packs incorporating GEN4 cells.The timing is favourable, and the strategy is deliberate. Canadian officials have publicly discussed plans involving large-scale drone deployment. HPQ announced in 2025 that it had secured up to $3 million in federal funding to advance a 50-tonne-per-year silicon-based anode material production facility in Canada. The EU-Canada collaboration on defence and technology is accelerating. CEO Bernard Tourillon:"We're ecstatic about this press release. For the last six months, we've been skating around it, because we knew who we were talking with and the significance of what we were doing. But until we reached this milestone, until Novacium could name the client, it was difficult to be very clear. We've now gone through the wringer of being certified by a top drone manufacturer. And we strongly believe this could translate into more opportunities in both Europe and North America. This is the beginning of what we see as an inflection point. There's a massive demand, and we're now reaching the point where we have to start looking at what's going to be our best strategy to meet it."INVESTOR TAKEAWAYThis is not just another development test, it is a first commercial order for more than 100 AA NOVA packs from a NATO-engaged, DGA-selected defence company whose systems and software have been evaluated in real combat conditions. Novacium has progressed from lab-scale cells to defence-sector commercial orders in under two years. HPQ, as a 36.8% shareholder in Novacium and the exclusive North American license holder for its silicon-based anode technologies, stands to benefit from Novacium's European orders while it advances its own domestic production capacity with federal support. The transition from prototypes and qualification to an initial wave of commercial validation is underway. The next phase is scaling to meet demand, supported by policy tailwinds, defence procurement channels, and growing customer traction in drone and defence applications.

This morning I'm going to read something from Śrīla Prabhupāda; it's a letter that he had written to Mahendra. He said, "You have expressed the desire to become an Āyurvedic physician, but I do not think that this proposal is very good. This science is not so important to us now, because in your country there is ample facility for receiving medicines. Besides, many of the herbs which are needed for Āyurvedic treatment would have to be sent here from India, and this is not very practical. This homeopathic medicine you have mentioned is not genuine, and therefore it is a bluff. So the first medicine which you should be concerned with is to chant Hare Kṛṣṇa and to become increasingly steady in Kṛṣṇa consciousness. Study Bhagavad-gītā As It Is and Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam and continue to help your godbrothers in developing Kṛṣṇa consciousness. So develop your preaching abilities in this way, and this will be the most successful and appreciated endeavor." So the first medicine which you should be concerned with is to chant Hare Kṛṣṇa, and become increasingly steady in Kṛṣṇa consciousness. In Māyāpur, Devakīnandana Prabhu from Singapore was giving a class, and someone asked, "Why do devotees involve themselves with astrology if it has to do with the material modes of nature?" And Devakīnandana said, "Actually, devotees don't put much stock in astrology, but because the material world is so miserable, they can't help but peek and see, like, 'Why am I suffering so much?' They want to see some trend, try to get some understanding of how they might relieve themselves of the suffering in the material world because it's relentless." Same reason people watch the news: there's some idea that "If I watch the news, maybe I can quell the waves of suffering in my mind," but it only increases them. “Duḥkhauṣadhaṁ tad api duḥkham atad-dhiyāham”—Prahlāda Mahārāja says that the cure is worse than the disease itself. But there is one medicine that's infallible, and it's chanting Hare Kṛṣṇa—and as Prabhupāda mentioned, also reading from and hearing from Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam and Bhagavad-gītā. So this is the main purpose of the human form of life: to develop this steadiness in chanting Hare Kṛṣṇa, hearing and chanting. And for us, it's all available. We have the parameters; we have the facility. So I'm thanking you all for taking advantage of Japa Jolt this morning, and make sure that you supplement your day by hearing from Bhagavad-gītā and Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam. If you put all those three together, you'll find relief from the onslaught of miseries that come as a course of being in the material world.

Graphite has powered lithium-ion battery anodes for decades, but its capacity has limits. Silicon can theoretically store more than ten times as much lithium, yet its expansion during charging has made commercial use difficult. HPQ Silicon's strategic partner Novacium has spent years addressing that challenge. Now, its silicon-based technology is being evaluated with material from an established graphite producer.On September 10, 2026, Novacium announced exploratory technical work with Tokai COBEX Savoie, part of Japan's Tokai Carbon Group. The companies will evaluate combining Novacium's high-capacity silicon-based material with Tokai COBEX's 99.99% purity, low-carbon synthetic graphite.If successful, the work could support a high-performance, lower-carbon anode material designed and potentially produced in France. HPQ holds a 36.8% equity interest in Novacium.• Industrial Partner: Tokai COBEX brings established carbon and graphite manufacturing experience, with French operations that have expanded into battery graphite.• European Supply Chain: The companies are evaluating a combination of French-produced synthetic graphite and Novacium silicon technology that could contribute to a more integrated European battery supply chain.• Proven Performance: GEN3 enabled 18650 cells to average 4,030 mAh and retain more than 3,000 mAh after 1,000 cycles. GEN4 later enabled 21700 cells to average more than 6,600 mAh under standard testing.• Commercial Progress: Novacium has received an order for GEN3 battery packs intended for FPV drones destined for a French Army regiment and delivered 30 custom packs to three European drone manufacturers for final-stage evaluation.Graphite has a theoretical capacity of about 372 mAh/g versus approximately 4,200 mAh/g for silicon. The problem is that silicon can expand by more than 300% during charging, potentially damaging the anode and reducing battery life.Novacium's approach is designed to add silicon-based material to predominantly graphite-based anodes, increasing capacity while addressing durability.The Tokai COBEX program will now evaluate compatibility, performance and economics using its specific synthetic graphite.Novacium has progressed from developing silicon-based anode materials into cells and custom battery packs, producing measurable performance results, certifications, customer evaluations and an initial defence-related order.Tokai COBEX introduces a different potential pathway: working with an established graphite producer rather than entering graphite production independently.CEO Bernard Tourillon said licensing and joint ventures could eventually represent possible business models, although no commercial agreement with Tokai COBEX has been announced.“As graphite-based anode materials approach their theoretical capacity limits, integrating silicon-based materials represents one of the most promising avenues for enabling graphite manufacturers to offer higher-performance anode materials.”This is not yet a commercial contract. It is an exploratory technical program, with no assurance it will result in production or commercialization.What matters is who is evaluating the technology and why.An established graphite producer is testing whether its synthetic graphite can be combined with Novacium's silicon-based material to create a higher-capacity, lower-carbon anode solution.For HPQ, this adds another potential commercialization pathway alongside ENDURA+ cells, custom battery packs and silicon-based anode materials.The next question is straightforward: Can the technical compatibility and economics justify moving from evaluation to a formal commercial relationship?WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOWWHY GRAPHITE NEEDS SILICONANOTHER COMMERCIAL PATHWAYINVESTOR TAKEAWAY

Épisode spécial enregistré lors de l'IFA 2026

A braita discusses whether a sea-mouse transmits impurity—that is, whether the word "mouse" includes a sea-mouse. Within that discussion, it also addresses a mouse that is half flesh and half earth, deriving from scripture that it transmits impurity like a standard mouse. The braita concludes that a sea-mouse does not transmit impurity. The Gemara raises two challenges against the braita, but resolves both. Following the discussion on the verse regarding the mouse, the Gemara turns to expound the words "ha-tzav le-minehu" from that same verse, which includes other unique creatures—the arod,  ben nefilim), and the salamander—and notes Rabbi Akiva's marveling at the diversity of creation ("Mah rabu ma'asecha Hashem"). Another braita asserts that every creature found on land has a counterpart in the sea except for the chulda (weasel), derived from "kol yoshvei chaled". The Gemara digresses to an aggadic discussion regarding the questionable character of the inhabitants of Naresh (after mentioning a law regarding the beavers of Naresh), and presents an account where Rav Huna bar Torta witnessed a snake mating with a tzav to produce an arod, which Rava characterizes as a "miracle within a miracle" sent as a punishment. The Mishna rules that a dangling limb or flesh attached to a live animal is susceptible to food impurity (tumat ochlin) in its place (if one thought to give it to a non-Jew to eat), provided a liquid came upon it rendering it susceptible to impurity, but it does not impart impurity as a limb from a living animal (ever min hachai). If the animal is slaughtered, Rabbi Meir holds that the slaughtering blood creates susceptibility to food impurity, whereas Rabbi Shimon holds that it does not; neither holds that there is impurity of a limb from a live animal. If the animal dies, Rabbi Meir holds that the flesh requires a liquid to render it susceptible to food impurity, while the dangling limb transmits impurity as a limb from a living animal, though not as a carcass (neveila). Rabbi Shimon, on the other hand, considers it pure from the impurity of a limb from a live animal. Analyzing the Mishna, the Gemara asks why dangling flesh/limbs transmit food impurity but not impurity of a limb from a live animal, in the case where the animal is alive. It resolves that even if the flesh cannot heal (ein ma'alin arucha), impurity as a limb from a living animal requires the limb to completely detach from the verse "ki yipol". A braita supports this, ruling that even if attached by only a hair's breadth, it does not transmit impurity until it falls off, yet it remains susceptible to food impurity. The Gemara compares this to produce withered on the tree, such as dried figs, which transmit food impurity while still considered attached regarding the prohibition of picking on Shabbat. Regarding the case in the Mishna where the animal was slaughtered, the Gemara asks what constitutes the core point of dispute between Rabbi Meir and Rabbi Shimon, ultimately offering six different explanations. Rabba explains that Rabbi Meir and Rabbi Shimon disagree on whether the main body of the animal acts as a "handle" (yad) to transmit hechsher to the dangling limb. Abaye and Rabbi Yochanan explain the debate differently: they disagree on the status of a handle where lifting the smaller dangling part does not carry the larger body (as it detaches), with Rabbi Meir considering it attached and Rabbi Shimon disagreeing.

Conosci queste parole italiane? Quindi, dunque, insomma, allora, infatti: le hai sentite mille volte nei film, nelle canzoni, nelle conversazioni. Ma sai davvero come si usano? Sono parole camaleontiche che cambiano significato a seconda della situazione, e usarle bene fa la differenza tra chi parla "da libro" e chi parla come un madrelingua. Quindi, Dunque, Insomma, Allora, Infatti: Significati, Sfumature e Usi Reali I connettivi sono quelle piccole parole che collegano frasi e idee, dando ritmo e logica al discorso. Gli italiani li usano continuamente, spesso senza nemmeno accorgersene. Se vuoi approfondire l'argomento, puoi consultare la guida completa sui connettivi logici in italiano. Quindi: il Connettivo della Conseguenza Quindi è un connettivo (più precisamente una congiunzione conclusiva) e serve a esprimere la conseguenza di qualcosa. In pratica, significa "perciò", "di conseguenza", "per questo motivo". Primo Uso: Esprimere una Conseguenza Esempio: "Domani ho l'esame di guida, quindi stasera vado a letto presto." Vado a letto presto come conseguenza dell'esame di guida. La causa è l'esame, la conseguenza è andare a letto presto. È la relazione logica più comune di quindi. Secondo Uso: Introdurre una Domanda Quindi ha anche un secondo uso, molto comune nel parlato. Si usa per introdurre una domanda dopo una pausa o un ragionamento: "Quindi, alla fine ci vai a quella festa o no?" Qui quindi non esprime una conseguenza logica vera e propria, ma serve a riprendere il discorso, quasi come dire "allora, dimmi…". È un uso tipico delle conversazioni quotidiane. Dunque: la Versione più Elegante di Quindi La parola dunque è la "cugina raffinata" di quindi. Significa praticamente la stessa cosa, ma è più formale e letteraria. Se quindi lo dice tua nonna al mercato, dunque lo dice il professore di filosofia all'università. Per altre congiunzioni italiane, c'è una guida completa dedicata. La Sottile Differenza con Quindi Mentre quindi esprime una conseguenza generica, dunque è più orientato a esprimere una deduzione logica, una conclusione di un ragionamento. Esempio celeberrimo: "Penso, dunque sono." Questa frase è del filosofo francese Cartesio: l'originale latino è "Cogito ergo sum", e questa è la traduzione italiana più diffusa. Mostra perfettamente l'uso deduttivo di dunque: dal fatto che io penso, deduco che esisto. Per altre citazioni famose in italiano, puoi consultare la guida dedicata. Un esempio più quotidiano: "La macchina di Marco non è in garage, dunque è già uscito." Qui si sta facendo una deduzione logica: macchina assente, di conseguenza Marco è uscito. Dunque per Introdurre il Discorso Come quindi, anche dunque può introdurre un discorso o una domanda, sempre in modo più ricercato: "Dunque, dimmi tutto: com'è andato il colloquio?" Riepilogo: nella vita di tutti i giorni quindi e dunque si possono spesso scambiare. La differenza è soprattutto di registro: dunque suona più colto, quindi è più comune nel parlato quotidiano. ConnettivoRegistroUso principaleQuindiInformale, quotidianoConseguenza genericaDunqueFormale, letterarioDeduzione logica Insomma: la Parola dai Tre Volti Insomma è una delle parole più versatili dell'italiano. Si usa più spesso all'inizio della frase, anche se può comparire alla fine con valore riassuntivo. Per esempio: "Era stanco, affamato, infreddolito, insomma… distrutto!". Ha tre significati principali. Primo Significato: Introdurre una Conclusione o un Riassunto "Insomma, dopo tre ore di discussione, abbiamo deciso di ordinare la pizza." Qui insomma riassume una situazione lunga e arriva al punto. È come dire "per farla breve", "alla fine dei conti". Secondo Significato: Esprimere Irritazione o Fastidio "Insomma, vuoi smetterla di farmi domande?!" In questo caso insomma è un'esclamazione che esprime impazienza. Immagina una mamma che dopo l'ennesima domanda del figlio piccolo perde la pazienza: è il contesto perfetto per questo uso. Terzo Significato: Esprimere Mediocrità "Ti è piaciuta la cena al ristorante? – Mah… insomma…" Quando si risponde insomma con un tono indeciso, si sta dicendo che qualcosa non era un granché. Niente di terribile, ma neanche da consigliare. Una via di mezzo, né bello né brutto, mediocre. Allora: la Parola Jolly dell'Italiano Allora è una parola che gli italiani usano dappertutto. In Italia è praticamente impossibile passare un giorno senza sentirla decine di volte. Per un approfondimento completo, puoi consultare la guida sul significato e gli usi di "allora" in italiano. Primo Uso: Trarre una Conclusione In questo caso allora è simile a quindi: "Non hai studiato per l'esame? Allora è normale che tu sia stato bocciato!" Qui allora introduce una conseguenza logica rispetto a quello che è stato detto prima. Secondo Uso: Introdurre un Discorso o Prendere Tempo Questo è forse l'uso più comune nel parlato: "Allora… cosa volevo dirti? Ah sì, ho prenotato il ristorante per sabato!" In questa funzione allora è un riempitivo: serve a organizzare le idee, a prendere tempo per pensare. È l'equivalente italiano di "so…" o "well…". Per scoprire altri intercalari, puoi leggere la guida sui riempitivi in italiano. Terzo Uso: "A Quel Tempo", "In Quel Periodo" Questo è un uso più letterario e meno conosciuto dagli studenti: "Negli anni '90 non esistevano gli smartphone, e allora ci si dava appuntamento al bar sperando che l'altro arrivasse!" In questa frase allora non significa quindi, ma "in quel momento del passato". È un uso elegante, perfetto per raccontare ricordi e momenti del passato. Infatti: il Connettivo della Conferma Infatti si usa per confermare qualcosa che è stato detto, spesso aggiungendo un'informazione che lo dimostra. È come dire "è proprio così, e te lo dimostro". È una di quelle parole tipiche di chi vuole parlare italiano come un madrelingua. Primo Uso: Confermare con una Prova "Luca è bravissimo in cucina, infatti ha aperto un ristorante l'anno scorso." L'apertura del ristorante è la prova che Luca è bravo in cucina. Infatti collega l'affermazione e la sua dimostrazione. Secondo Uso: Dare Ragione a Qualcuno Infatti può anche essere usato da solo, come risposta in una conversazione: "Questo caffè è davvero buono!" – "Infatti!" In questo caso infatti significa "hai proprio ragione", "sono completamente d'accordo con te". È fondamentale usarlo con il tono giusto: detto con poco entusiasmo sembra che si stia rispondendo per cortesia. Attenzione al Falso Amico: Infatti vs In Realtà Molti studenti, soprattutto inglesi o spagnoli, confondono infatti con "in fact" o "de hecho", che spesso si traducono con "in realtà" in italiano. La differenza è fondamentale: infatti CONFERMA, mentre in realtà CORREGGE. ConnettivoFunzioneEsempioInfattiConfermaÈ francese, infatti parla franceseIn realtàCorreggePensavo fosse francese, in realtà è belga Per altri errori simili, puoi consultare la guida sui falsi amici in italiano. Tabella Riassuntiva dei 5 Connettivi Ecco una tabella riassuntiva con i 5 connettivi e i loro principali usi. Per altre espressioni colloquiali italiane, c'è una guida dedicata. ConnettivoSignificato principaleEsempioQuindiConseguenzaPiove, quindi prendo l'ombrelloDunqueDeduzione logica (formale)Penso, dunque sonoInsomma (1)Riassunto, conclusioneInsomma, abbiamo deciso di partireInsomma (2)Irritazione, fastidioInsomma, basta!Insomma (3)Mediocrità (così così)Com'era?

Entrambi esprimono una conseguenza, ma quindi è più informale e usato nel parlato quotidiano, mentre dunque è più formale e indica una deduzione logica. In molti contesti sono intercambiabili. "Insomma" si Mette all'Inizio o alla Fine della Frase? Si usa più spesso all'inizio della frase, ma può comparire anche alla fine con valore riassuntivo, come in "Era stanco, affamato, insomma… distrutto!". Dipende dalla funzione che si vuole dare alla parola. "Allora" e "Quindi" Sono Sinonimi? In alcuni contesti sì, soprattutto quando entrambi introducono una conseguenza. Ma allora ha più significati: può servire come riempitivo per introdurre un discorso o significare "a quel tempo". Quindi è più limitato all'idea di conseguenza. Perché "Infatti" Non Si Traduce con "In Fact"? Perché infatti in italiano serve a confermare qualcosa, mentre "in fact" in inglese (e "de hecho" in spagnolo) spesso introduce una correzione. La traduzione corretta in italiano in quel caso è "in realtà". Si Possono Usare Questi Connettivi nello Scritto Formale? Dipende dal connettivo. Dunque e infatti sono perfettamente adatti anche allo scritto formale. Quindi è accettabile ma più colloquiale. Allora e insomma sono più tipici del parlato e andrebbero usati con cautela in contesti molto formali. { "@context": "https://schema.org", "@type": "Quiz", "name": "Test su Quindi, Dunque, Insomma, Allora, Infatti", "description": "Quiz interattivo sui connettivi italiani quindi, dunque, insomma, allora e infatti con 10 domande sui loro significati, sfumature e usi reali.", "educationalLevel": "Intermedio B1-B2", "learningResourceType": "Quiz", "inLanguage": "it", "hasPart": [ { "@type": "Question", "name": "Quale connettivo è più formale e indica una deduzione logica?", "acceptedAnswer": { "@type": "Answer", "text": "Dunque" } }, { "@type": "Question", "name": "Nella frase 'Mah… insomma…' come risposta a una domanda,...

Regarding the word determination, it has the word terminus in it, which means an ending point. Those who are determined finish their vow of chanting—or, by finishing your vow of chanting, you can be considered determined, or see that you're determined. When we visited Jagannātha Dāsa Bābājī Mahārāja's samādhi, one of his descendants there was speaking about how he used to talk to his disciples about chanting and say: "The most important aspect of your daily practice is to finish your vow of chanting. No matter what else happens in the world or in your life, make sure that you finish, and by that you'll advance in devotional service.

Hai mai guardato un film italiano e sentito frasi brevissime che ti hanno lasciato perplesso? Hai capito le singole parole, ma il senso ti è completamente sfuggito. Queste sono le espressioni colloquiali che gli italiani usano ogni giorno — quelle che raramente si trovano nei manuali di grammatica, ma che fanno tutta la differenza quando si vuole parlare in modo davvero naturale. In questo articolo le trovi divise per situazione, con esempi pratici e le curiosità linguistiche più interessanti. 18 Modi di Dire Italiani Autentici 1. Accettare un Invito o una Proposta Quando un amico italiano ti propone qualcosa — uscire, fare un favore, organizzare insieme — rispondere con un semplice «certo» o «va bene» è corretto, ma suona un po' piatto. Queste alternative sono molto più naturali e ti faranno sembrare immediatamente più a tuo agio nella lingua. "Ci Sto!" Letteralmente significa «ci sono dentro» — cioè «partecipo, accetto». È un'espressione entusiasta e immediata, perfetta per accettare un invito in modo spontaneo e vivace. Esempio: «Sabato sera andiamo a ballare, ti va?» — «Ci sto!» "Affare Fatto!" Molto italiana. Si usa quando ci si mette d'accordo su qualcosa, soprattutto dopo una piccola trattativa o uno scambio. Trasmette soddisfazione reciproca — come stringersi la mano verbalmente. Esempio: «Se mi aiuti con il trasloco, ti offro la cena.» — «Affare fatto!» "Come No!" Attenzione: questa è una di quelle espressioni che possono confondere gli stranieri, perché letteralmente sembra una negazione. In realtà è una conferma forte — quasi un «ma certo, ovviamente sì!». Funziona come risposta spontanea e generosa. Esempio: «Mi presti la macchina domani?» — «Come no, nessun problema!» "Ci Mancherebbe!" Si usa per accettare qualcosa con grande generosità, quasi a dire «figurati, non c'è nemmeno bisogno di chiedere». È una delle espressioni più calorose e ospitali dell'italiano colloquiale. Esempio: «Posso restare a dormire da te stanotte?» — «Ci mancherebbe altro!» Curiosità: «ci mancherebbe» è una forma abbreviata di «ci mancherebbe altro» — letteralmente «sarebbe una cosa che mancherebbe in più ai problemi». Un modo molto elegante per dire «ovviamente sì». 2. Esprimere Stupore Gli italiani hanno una naturale tendenza all'espressività — quando qualcosa sorprende, lo si fa capire subito e con forza. Queste espressioni servono a reagire a notizie inaspettate, situazioni assurde o rivelazioni sorprendenti, e si usano tantissimo nella conversazione quotidiana. "Ma Va?!" Espressione iconica. Si usa quando si sente qualcosa di inaspettato. Il tono fa tutta la differenza: detto con genuina sorpresa esprime incredulità positiva; con un tono piatto o ironico può sembrare scetticismo. Esempio: «Sai che Marco si è sposato la settimana scorsa?» — «Ma va?! Non lo sapevo!» "Sul Serio?!" Simile a «davvero?», ma più colloquiale e spontanea. Si usa in continuazione nella conversazione informale per mostrare interesse e sorpresa genuina. Esempio: «Ho vinto cinquecento euro alla lotteria.» — «Sul serio?!» "Roba da Matti!" Si usa quando qualcosa sembra assurdo, incredibile o completamente fuori dalla norma. Ha sempre una sfumatura di incredulità — come a dire «non ci credo, è una follia». Esempio: «Ho aspettato tre ore in fila alle poste!» — «Roba da matti!» "Ammazza!" Di origine tipicamente romana, ma ormai diffusa in tutta Italia. Esprime grande sorpresa, spesso positiva. Si sente moltissimo nella conversazione informale tra giovani. Esempio: «Ho preso trenta all'esame di matematica!» — «Ammazza, complimenti!» 3. Dare un Giudizio o Reagire a Qualcosa Quando si vuole commentare qualcosa — un film, un ristorante, un evento — l'italiano offre molte più sfumature del semplice «bello» o «brutto». Queste espressioni permettono di esprimere entusiasmo, delusione o indifferenza in modo molto più naturale e preciso. "Una Bomba!" Si usa per dire che qualcosa è fantastico, eccezionale. È un giudizio entusiasta e immediato, spesso accompagnato da un tono di voce enfatico. Esempio: «Com'era la pizza ieri sera?» — «Una bomba! Devi assolutamente provarla!» "Da Paura!" Letteralmente significherebbe «che fa paura», ma in realtà è un complimento enorme. È uno di quei casi tipici dell'italiano in cui una parola negativa viene usata in senso positivo per amplificare l'entusiasmo. Esempio: «Hai visto il nuovo film di Sorrentino?» — «Da paura, te lo consiglio!» "Una Schifezza!" L'opposto di «una bomba». Si usa quando qualcosa è proprio brutto, deludente o di pessima qualità. È molto colloquiale e informale — meglio evitarla in contesti formali. Esempio: «Com'era il ristorante?» — «Una schifezza, non ci torno mai più!» "Niente di Che" Si usa per dire che qualcosa è normale, nella media, nulla di speciale. È un giudizio educato ma poco entusiasta — non è un insulto, ma non è nemmeno un complimento. Esempio: «Ti è piaciuto il concerto?» — «Mah, niente di che...» "Mica Male!" Significa «abbastanza buono, non malaccio» — un giudizio positivo ma misurato, senza eccessi. Contiene la parola «mica», una delle particelle più caratteristiche dell'italiano colloquiale. Esempio: «Hai assaggiato il tiramisù di Maria?» — «Mica male, davvero buono!» Curiosità: la parola «mica» viene dal latino mica, che significava «briciola di pane». Quindi «mica male» significa letteralmente «neanche una briciola di male» — un'immagine bellissima nascosta in una parola di uso quotidiano. 4. Chiudere o Concludere un Discorso Queste espressioni si usano per mettere un punto a una conversazione, trarre le conclusioni di un ragionamento o accettare una situazione con rassegnazione. Sono piccole parole con un grande peso comunicativo — capirle e usarle correttamente è uno dei segnali più chiari di un italiano davvero fluente. "E Vabbè!" Versione contratta di «e va bene». Si usa per accettare una situazione, spesso un po' a malincuore, e chiudere il discorso senza drammi. È una piccola resa filosofica — «non è quello che volevo, ma vada così». Esempio: «Mi dispiace, stasera non posso venire.» — «E vabbè, sarà per la prossima volta!» "Pazienza!" Si usa quando qualcosa non è andato come sperato, ma ci si fa una ragione. Non è rassegnazione triste — è una forma di accettazione serena e matura, tipica della filosofia quotidiana italiana. Esempio: «Il treno è in ritardo di due ore.» — «Pazienza, aspetteremo!» "Alla Fine" Espressione utilissima per tirare le conclusioni di un discorso o di un ragionamento. Non indica necessariamente la fine temporale di qualcosa — significa piuttosto «dopo tutto», «tutto sommato», «in ultima analisi». Esempio: «Alla fine ho deciso di accettare il lavoro a Milano.» "Insomma" Una delle parole più italiane in assoluto. Si usa per riassumere ciò che si è detto, per concludere un pensiero o per introdurre una sintesi. Può anche esprimere una leggera esitazione o insoddisfazione — il tono fa la differenza. Esempio: «Insomma, quello che voglio dire è che dobbiamo organizzarci meglio.» "Tanto" Una parola piccola ma carica di significato. In questo uso specifico non significa «molto», ma serve a chiudere un discorso esprimendo rassegnazione o accettazione inevitabile — come a dire «non cambia nulla comunque». Esempio: «Non studio più, tanto non passerò mai questo esame!» Domande Frequenti Perché "Come No" Significa "Sì" in Italiano? È uno di quei casi in cui la forma grammaticale e il significato pragmatico vanno in direzioni opposte. «Come no» è una risposta retorica che presuppone l'ovvietà del sì — come a dire «come potrebbe essere diversamente?». L'interrogativa negativa implica che negare sarebbe assurdo, quindi il significato è una conferma forte. Funziona in modo simile all'inglese «of course» o al francese «bien sûr». Cosa Significa Esattamente "Mica" in Italiano? «Mica» è una particella negativa colloquiale che rafforza o attenua una negazione — simile a «mica tanto», «mica male», «non è mica facile». Viene dal latino mica («briciola»), e nell'uso moderno indica spesso che qualcosa non è affatto vero o non è affatto nel modo che si potrebbe pensare. È una delle parole più tipiche del parlato italiano informale. Qual È la Differenza tra "Da Paura" e "Una Bomba"? Entrambe esprimono un giudizio molto positivo, ma con sfumature diverse. «Una bomba» è più immediata e viscerale — si usa spesso per il cibo, uno spettacolo o un'esperienza che ha colpito subito e con forza. «Da paura» ha una sfumatura di impressione più generale e si presta bene anche per descrivere una persona particolarmente bella o in gamba. Nella pratica le due sono spesso intercambiabili. "Insomma" È Sempre Usato per Concludere? No — «insomma» ha usi diversi a seconda del contesto. Può introdurre una sintesi o una conclusione («insomma, la situazione è questa»), ma può anche esprimere insoddisfazione o ambiguità («com'è andata?» «insomma...» = non benissimo). In quest'ultimo caso il tono esitante dice più delle parole stesse. È una di quelle parole che si capisce davvero solo ascoltando gli italiani parlare. Queste Espressioni Si Usano in Tutta Italia o Solo in Alcune Regioni? La maggior parte — come «ci sto», «affare fatto», «roba da matti», «mica male», «insomma» — sono diffuse in tutta Italia e appartengono all'italiano colloquiale standard. Alcune hanno origini regionali precise: «ammazza» è tipicamente romana, «vabbè» ha radici napoletane. Nel tempo, però, molte espressioni regionali si sono diffuse a livello nazionale grazie alla televisione, al cinema e ai social media.

As soon as you look at things in this world with the wrong attitude—which means, "Yeah, maybe I could do something with that for me," then it becomes a problem immediately, an immediate problem. Prahlāda Mahārāja says the same thing to his classmates. He said the second you start thinking about how to enjoy, that's the very second you start suffering. So this pastime is freeing us to show what sweet surrender is. When we come to this revelation that this is the prize of life—to be able to unlock the heart and say, "Kṛṣṇa, everything for you"—you're free! You're a free soul, you're happy, there is no impediment, and it's so close by. The Bhāgavatam is freeing us from this illusory idea that the more stuff I can hold on to, the happier I'll be.

One might think— "Well, how might I enter into the Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam?” That's a question Prabhupāda asked on the Jaladūta: How will people be able to receive this message? Because they are so enamored of the modes of material nature and their ways of life. Prabhupāda introduced it a step at a time, and as devotees gathered to hear, they became purified. If one can appreciate that the Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam has the power to overcome the modes of material nature—which create this sense of envy in the material world, and fear, and all the other base qualities that come from illusion—then one might take it as medicine. That is mentioned in the 10th Canto of the Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam (SB 10.1.4): nivṛtta-tarṣair upagīyamānād bhavauṣadhāc chrotra-mano-'bhirāmāt ka uttamaśloka-guṇānuvādāt pumān virajyeta vinā paśughnāt which contains the word auṣadhi. Auṣadhi means a kind of medicine. This is where we can appreciate the sādhana-bhakti of hearing Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam. One may say, “I'm not qualified. I can't enter. I'm not nirmatsarāṇām.” That's okay. You take it as medicine. And one might say, “The people I'm distributing to, they don't even know what it is.” Well, how are they going to know what it is if you don't give it to them? Prabhupāda once said that when the devotees were saying, “We're going to preach, but people are not interested,” Prabhupāda said, “That's why you preach! How would they become interested unless you tell them?” They are all open to suggestion. You just have to speak it. Therefore, we are a culture of the Bhāgavata. And very particularly, Prabhupāda brought it to America—or as he said, it brought him—and he painstakingly made sure that all the volumes were going to be available. Even after Prabhupāda left, he made sure someone else who was trained by him, who could carry the same message, would be able to translate it. Kṛṣṇa made all those arrangements. He sent Pradyumna; He sent Hṛdayānanda Mahārāja. Others who were qualified, who had heard from Prabhupāda sufficiently, were able to read through the commentaries of the ācāryas and give the summary all the way through—what to speak of the tenor of Śrīla Prabhupāda's voice, whom they had heard from for many years. Therefore, we have this greatest treasure. We have the daily process of hearing Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam in the association of devotees, and, of course, we are also distributing it. So we can be very sure of its efficacy, not only for ourselves advancing in devotional service, but also in bestowing it upon other people and helping them to come into the culture of Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam. Nothing else will solve problems. Everything else is a stopgap measure to solve the problems of the material world. But if one gets on a regular diet of hearing Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam on a daily basis—and, of course, chanting Hare Kṛṣṇa—then naturally, the impediments to one's sanity will diminish. What to speak of: one will become happy by hearing it!

Question from Josh from Texas Are newer production Winchester 94's in 30-30 good for plinking and fun range use? I heard I should buy an older production model. Curious to your thoughts.Josh WINNER Question from Anonymous Coward from OH So I have a 5″ Springfield Prodigy DS 1911. Sometimes, I conceal carry it with an IWB C&G Holster. The gun seems to ride too low in my waistline. I have tried both their plastic IWB clips and their metal Alpha clips. Are there any belt clips that you guys know of that will allow the gun and holster to ride a little bit higher. Thank you Question from Anonymous Coward from California I'm looking to up my 18650 stash and need some input from the almighty guntoob lords. I've got a surefire M640 DFT turbo scout and a streamlight protac (with arisaka adapter and surefire pressure switch tail cap – may matter for battery length?) I don't want to pay bullshit streamlight/surefire battery prices. Do you guys have any favorite cheaper alternatives? I know I need a protected high drain battery, but looking for something I can stock up on and not break the bank. I just got some keeppower 3500 mAh batteries from illumn for my fenix lights for $9/piece but I don't think they support high draw applications… or would they work? Any steering in the right direction would be greatly appreciated! #yéremyisafuddp.s. I have an XTAR charger so I don't need any fancy usb charge top bullshit p.p.s. Do you guys have any favorite battery storage containers for taking on hunting trips that keep them dry and protected but not take up too much room? I don't have the ability to 3d print, so looking to buy. Question from Chad from Michigan Up North Chad from Michigan I'm converting an AR in 5.56 to 300 blackout. What is a good barrel and block combo? It will be a suppressor host and basically strictly subsonic. (Because super sonic 300blk is retarded) Something like 8 to 12 inches. Also, suggestions on a big ol' quiet can under $800? Thanks, Question from Anonymous Coward from Arizona I wrote a while ago asking for recommendations on a light 6.5 Creedmoor rifle for hunting. In that question, I mentioned I wasn't interested in a Bergara after my first experience with them. I'm writing in again to elaborate as requested. It's kind of a long story so buckle up.I bought a Bergara B14-HMR in 6.5 CM and was pretty excited as it was my first “higher end” bolt action, or so I thought. I took it out shooting a few times and just couldn't seem to get it to group well and I was running out of adjustment on my scope. I was a bit confused but I figured id just double check all my mounting. So as I was cleaning it after that range trip, I looked at it from the front and thought the scope looked a little crooked. I got about a hundred second opinions and sure enough, something was off. I thought “there's no way the scope or the gun could be built that wrong”. I warrantied the scope rail and the rings as well as replaced them twice, but neither fixed the problem. So I started talking to the scope manufacturer and sent it in to be checked. They sent it back with a green light and said there was no problems. At this point I was several weeks into tracing down problems and emailing manufacturers so it pissed me off. I finally decided it must be the gun. I took it to a gunsmith and he started mounting a rail on it and everything finally became clear. Instead of starting all the screws a little then going through and torquing them like I had done, he installed the rear screws fully. One of the front screws was then dropped and immediately tried going in at a 45 degree Gun Industry News Thefirearmblog Steiner MPS 2.0 Micro Pistol Sight Steiner has released the MPS 2.0, an updated enclosed-emitter red dot sight building on the original MPS with reinforced design, improved ergonomics, larger buttons, easier maintenance, and extended battery life.

Julian Butterfield is a scholar of medieval Chinese Buddhist literature with a special interest in how Mahāyāna Buddhist narratives depict and solicit feeling. His current monograph project recovers the aesthetic and affective dimensions of Lotus Sūtra devotion in fifth-to-eighth-century China, arguing that the transmission of this pivotal Buddhist scripture relied heavily on the cultivation of strong emotions among practitioners. A secondary, public-facing research project investigates the interactions of Buddhist media and musical experimentation from the nineteenth century to the present. Julian holds a BA and MA from the University of Toronto and a PhD in Religious Studies from Stanford University, where his research was supported by the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada and a Robert H.N. Ho Family Foundation Dissertation Fellowship. He is currently a Lecturer in the Department of Religion at Princeton University.
