  • they say its haunted there

  • How did things go at the manor? What you up to now?

  • im a hare krishna  HARE BOLO

  • i have always never had a religion and i am so confused but I found that hinduism is a religion that includes my beliefs, and since krishna is a part of hinduism i was looking into it but i want to know what is the krishna outlook on women? because if i'm going to accept a religion I want something that will accept me. But it's weird because i accept most christianity stuff as history and i still celebrate christmas and easter but only because it's history, and also because i like giving gifts.

  • quite positive...they are equal in the eyes of God(Krishna) same as men...we are spirit souls and the body is only a temporary garment whether male or female...that's why it doesn't matter what sex, age, nationality, etc...these are distinctions given by people and it's not a natural thing...Krishna consciousness focuses mainly on the Devotion to God, chanting, feasting, dancing, etc...is the greatest thing you can do foryourself to reestablish that relationship with God (Krishna) again...

  • Yes we are all souls. If anything, women are more honoured because all souls are female (prakriti) in relation to Krsna (purusa). And Sri Radha, Krsna's consort, is honoured more than Krsna Himself. If you encounter any sexist behavior is is only due to conditioned souls misinterpreting the religion for their own benefit so just ignore it.

  • @minupuppy you can accept hinduism its a very open and accepting religion besides unlike Jesus Krishna will never tell you "pray only me otherwise you will goto hell" Krishna allows you to pray to Jesus and whoever you want. Hinduism wont send you to hell for divorce, homosexuality, eating meat on friday, praying to other gods and so on.

  • i wish there were hare krishna temples in my city

  • DONT dooo IT

  • NOOOOOOOO! NOT YOUR BEAUTIFUL HAAAAAAAAAAAAIR!!!!! *deep breaths* Well, good luck at the temple. ;)

  • he hasn't cut it :)

  • lolz

  • is benloka hindu no offence

  • i always read through comments on famous youtubers pages, and i totally love how you responded to, like, all the questions/confusions that people had. haha.

    =]

    -R

  • lol, well he wasn't here to do it himself!

  • Haha, i saw you on the t.v yesterday,on bryony makes a zombie movie

  • Good luck ben. i know i cant convince you that going to a hare krishna temple not really knowing what is going to happen to you isnt a great idea, but i just wanted to let you know i love your vidz and your an awesome guy and always be who you are

  • Hare krsna! all glories to Srila Prabhupada!!

  • i'm sorry about the comment i left. i looooooooooooooooooove your videos really. i just watched the mystery package one and laughed so much, the song at the end was awesome. you should get the part in the play though!!! you're an awesome guy. love you xxxxx

  • thanks ;)

  • What did you say you worked as Fella?

  • a writer

  • pure spirit

  • That sounds really interesting! I love talking about life and such. You should definitely make some videos about Christian Consciousness upon your return.

  • I meant Krishna Consciousness! I was talking to my friend about my very Christian friend and wrote it because that's what I was speaking at that time. Does that ever happen to you? I did that yesterday when I wrote phone instead of pen... Haha.

  • we miss you!

  • Beeeeeeeen

    come back soon

  • Ben!! I'm going to miss you! I'll cry myself to sleep every night for the REST Of my life! Okay, not really, but it's quite upsetting.

    Anyway, I really hope you enjoy it and have a good time, and just know there are millions who will miss you,

    bye Ben.

  • Aw, ben, i'm gonna miss you.

    Hope it all goes well there, and we should have a nice catch up when you get back. ENJOY IT!

    -SJPO

  • aw, ben! I'll miss you so much!

    Well... merry christmas?

  • haha, love it!

  • ermmm . . . i usually love your videos but (no offence)this is one of your worst!! xx

  • because it was informative rather than comedic? it was only made so people would know why he wasn't responding for 3 months.

  • sorry

  • lol

  • it's so awesome you're doing that

  • ha ha My mom and her bf met you there... they told me about it later and I was like "WHAT!? aww I wanna meet him" xD

    yeah they are friends with John and Sache (not sure how to spell her name)

    They invited us to the hare Krishna festival several weeks ago.. I don't really have anything against them, it's just not for me ( I really felt out of place there), I guess I do see it as too religious but I'm immensely interested in spirituality and philosophy which seems to be enough for me :)

  • Do you just stay there like a hotel or something?

  • it's a course, he stays there in like a dorm room i guess, with others, but has to help out with chores and take classes. he's not free to come an go as he pleases really so not really like a hotel.

  • he will most likely stay in the mens ashrama

    its basicly living quarters at the temple, they live there for free eat there for free and whatever else, bu thye have to do certain services in order to earn their keep such ass cooking, destributing books, and working the gift shoppe, all ahre krsna temples have these hings,lol

  • You ought to cut it someday, you'll be cute regardless, but I doubt they'll make you.

    You're describing a religion, but it's all about religion that helps you *wake up*, not lull you to sleep and be controlled by The Man, or convert others. So right on.

  • he's got short hair in his older videos and certainly looks very cute :)

  • Jai! Hari Bol!

    Prabhupada is certainly proud of his grandson! You will have such a great experience. This is Spiritual College and you get to earn the highest degree...Krishna Consciousness. Looking forward to you videos!

  • Hare Krishna Ben,

    I lived at Bhaktivedanta Manor for a year or so 18 years ago. Did not help my spiritual life. Too many bogus "gurus" & dodgy types. I have been a devotee for 21 years. I follow Srila Prabhupada. No need for bogus "living gurus". The bona-fide spiritual master is his teachings, not his body. Anyway i hope you realise this. I hope the false devotees don't exploit you. Haribol!

  • PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE don't cut your hair off. I fancy you SO MUCH and am also veggie, but Wiccan. Have a great enlightening time, but please come back with your hair still on your head!

  • have fun with that.

    i dont really know ANYTHING about it or anything. but im guessing its good. :]

    make videos there :]

  • I love Bhaktivedanta Manor! I went there on a school trip, it was ace :)

  • pshhtt

    hes not lucky gerilynn

    hes just that person

    who is moving outta his moms apartment :]

  • it's actually a privelige to go, they don't accept just anyone on the course.

  • You are so lucky! Good luck! Hare Krsna!!!!!!

  • Coooool Ben, how lucky you are, you will stay in the tmeple for such long time, wonderful, wait for you back and show us more......hare krishna!!!!

  • Hey Ben, heard you had a good time with Subal Prabhu the other week, and have a GREAT time at the manor! I'll probably see you there on the 29th November at the latest with Subal and the Brighton gang (for a wedding). Enjoy your time!

    Harry (has cut HIS hair)

  • You are amazing Ben. Hope you find what you're looking for. Brightest blessings.

  • if ur gona do somthing like that wouldnt u rather go and do it in some remote mountains in asia with some random old men, instead of watford, which i wouldnt think of as very spirital. anyway have fun!

  • enjoy urself ben!

  • wow. it sounds like an AMAZING thing to do.

    have fun :) ( if thats the right word to use? )

  • hahaha at 0:10. With the clapping motion and the chanting and the warning alarm. You're human continues on :D.

    Have fun!

  • Sounds really nice, hope you have a goood time :)

  • off with the hair!

    **but please Ben, for the love of god, DON'T CUT THE HAIR!!

  • have an awesome time! x

  • That sounds really cool. Hope you have a good time :D I wish I could visit you but I'm in the U.S.

  • Good luck at the hare krishna temple. Have a merry early christmas as we wont see you until then. Take care and peace out!

  • i might visit you! even tho its miles away frm here!

  • could be a very interesting experience, I wish you a lot of succes :D

  • dont cut the hair =[

  • Oh Noes. Ben is going away.

    Well, enjoy yourself. Its bound to be an amazing experience. I am, in fact, slightly jealous.

    Ta ra Chicken!

  • BEN IM GOING TO COME AND VISIT YOU..

    but im from south london..

    but oh well :) x

  • what exactly is hare krishna? is it a religion?

  • so what you're saying is that Hare Krishna is like a spiritual detox. Intriguing!

  • hope u have a gret time ben and sind what ur looking for. will miss you!

  • I hope you find exactly what you're looking for in going there and have a great time with it. That's a very awesome thing to take part in.

  • Well Ben i guess its going to be a wonderful experience and i hope you will have a great time but i dont think they will allow you to use the camera like that and i hope u dont have to cut ur hair cause its really cool

    lots of positive energy for you

  • hare krishna is pretty scary if you ask me. All of their chants sound like brainwashing material. (All repetitive and monotone) I would never move into a temple like that.

  • Zuppypuppy - not cool. Find out about stuff before saying things like that.

  • I do know a little bit about hare krishna. I live near a hare krishna house and I went to a hare krishna festival, but it scared me. All the people moved and talked as if they were dead. I don't mean to be hateful, but it's what I experienced.

  • Well it's honestly not like that, and I've certainly never experienced that. If anything quite the opposite, most devotees I know have lots of energy. I'm sorry that your experience was so different.

  • We'll miss you, and glad that you get to do something that just sounds so very awesome. Take care and best wishes!

  • We'll miss you so much!

  • We'll miss you!!!

  • Hope you'll have a great time!

    Good luck Ben XD

    I shall miss your videos soo much, there awsome

  • your hair seems quite attached to you too!

  • Don't drink the punch. Otherwise, have fun.

  • Sky, atmosphere effects. Planets, Gravity. Just be careful Ben.. never thought of this Harrre Krishna thing as a bad thing before this video. But you do sound a little like someone going into a cult to be brain washed..

  • um...i guess i'll miss u then...I personally think ur nuts, but good luck anyway on all this self-discovery business...

  • I"LL MISS YOU BEN!!! *cries*

  • Sweet! Goodluck! :D

  • What made you decide on the Hare Krishnas? I hope you can make videos while you're there. I want to see what you look like bald! :oD Will you write a book about your experiences?

  • What will happen to your couch?

    and, what did you work as?, I didn't catch it.

  • a writer

  • A writer

  • I dont need to know ur life story kokrakoko

  • temple of brain washing ..what a waste of life

  • noooooooooo don't goooo :(

  • whats the point of writing 80 volumes of treatises on the bhagavad gita . chinese proverb = too many words is weariness.only light they bring is if you burn them or use a few to change light bulb . PADA IN punjabi means fart = arse gas .THE SUPREME PERSONALITY OF GOD HEAD = THE SUPREME PERSONALITY IN HIS HEAD . IF krishna was so beautiful why was a c bhaktivedanta swami such an ugly f**k ,anyone?

  • Whats the point of writing 80 treatises on the bhagavad gita = only light you get from them if you burn them or use a few to change your light bulb ; chinese proverb = too many words is weariness . when will people wake up .religion= real lies going on .PADA IN PUNJABI means FART = arse gas

  • Sooo cool! I'm happy for you, please show lots of videos from the temple, I really want to see what it's like!

  • Cute, cute, cute, love you!

  • Have a great time, Ben! It's so great that you're pursuing your faith with such devotion. I like how you see it not as a religion, but as a way of life. Can't wait to see how your doing!! xD

  • Have fun man!

  • I congratulate you on your upcoming spiritual discovery!!

    I wish I had the brain capacity to have that much faith...

    But I do agree it will be a really good process to go through if you're going through something negative or difficult in life.

  • it's a good process even if you aren't going through negativity or difficulty.

  • Have fun Ben!! It sounds awesome. What did you say you do for work? It was kind of a mumble. Was that purposely done? lol

  • a writer

  • ooh thanks! :D

  • I really do support and respect your spiritual journey but you have incurred all kinds of bad karma by bailing on Bryony's movie to go on retreat.

    Can you imagine the anguish I'm undergoing trying to repress all the obvious jokes about zombies and the Hare Krsna movement? And it's all your fault!!

  • Oh my gosh!! Bye BEN!!! I hope they let you make video's! Aww..I'm so happy for you and a little extremely jealous! But yeah either way, we'll wait for you if you cant post for a while. But only 56 days 3 hours and 22 seconds. Not a second longer. ;) Take care! And may you be spiritually, souly and physically enlightened! or something to that effect. CIAO

  • that's really cool. best wishes. and i hope you can still make videos. then "on the couch with beloka" will have to be changed to "in the temple with benloka" :)

  • Gonna miss you babes. lol, see ya mate.

  • oh. christmas is so far away! im sad :(

    but if it's going to make you happy, then i feel selfish to be sad. have a great time and i look forward to seeing more videos in the future.

    *why am i here? why did i end up with this face?* :D

  • I'm gunna miss you dude. Have a good time tho.

  • noooooo

  • wow sounds very interesting! have fun!

  • I'm curious how or who introduced you to Hare Krishna? what made you go, "oh! THIS is it!"

    I think it's awesome that you are getting to dive head first into something you are so passionate about! That's just amazing! Have fun!

  • No! Not the hair!

  • Have fun in the temple

    its gonna be an awesome experience fo sho

    make sure to report back to us when ur back :)

  • omg weren't you listening

    he said like threee times he is gone till Christmas

  • I don't know much about Hare Krishna, but it seems to me that all of the questions you had just posed (why is there a blue sky, how are the planets sustained in the air) can be answered fully by science. I'm not being disrespectful to you or your beliefs, but I personally believe that theology cannot accurately and fully answer those questions.

  • every Question can have more than one answer,

    and more then one correct answer

  • Dont be nervous Ben! I'm sure you'll have a great time

  • ur attached to ur hair? looks like u dont wash it... no offence. ur funny but.... yah.....

  • Thats probably product not grease. I'm sure Ben is clean every time he makes a video haha

  • Gouranga!!!!

    awesome!
