it just seems that your vibrant personality and sense of humor has been replaced by a more boring religious fanatical version of you. Religion makes me sad.
Well done Ben, good video. I was wondering when this would happen. Since we met at Radhi's farm in Kent I knew you would continue. May your devotional love continue to grow. Hari Bol.
@SpeedoJoe It says on your profile that among other topics you like philosophy and religion. I am wondering whether your comment here of Ben joining a cult was only a statment of fact or meant to be a non-constructive criticism? In other words, it's hard to tell if you are just making a comment or being nasty. Usually a comment like that is nasty, but it is always better to clarify the intention first. If you could please state your reason for putting such a comment it would help.
congrads prabhu, i remember when i first shaved up, nectar! haha. your videos are all so nice and everyone likes them please continue to use this shakti you've been given to help progress srila Prabhupadas movement.
When you consider the vastness of the universe and how insignificant human beings really are, it makes me wonder what it was specifically that convinced you that there's a magic man in the sky who wants you to have that particular haircut?
@unrest655321 I guess I sort of agree, but that was a very rude way of putting it. If you want to try and convince people, the worst possible thing to do is to start out with insults, becuase then thats what they associate with that thing
Suprisingly it didn't take me long at all to get used to your new 'do' :D I've been having a youtube absence (longer than yours) and you've inspired me to get back into it again :-) I'm not gonna shave my head though!!
can i ask a genuine question? i don't mean to sound ignorant or rude, I'm just curious, why are hare krishna people always white? or rather, why are there so many white ones? isn't it an indian, hindu thing? thanks for anyone who can answer this!
@ifellinlovewithadead I think it is because Vaishavism (or Hare Krishna) was brought to America in, i believe, mid-70's. Therefore the first disciples of Srila Prabhupada (the founder of ISCON) were white people. The movement got popular in America and Europe - it ment more white people :)) Despite that there is a lot of Indians too :)
took me a minute to get used to it but in that minute i realised your hair isn't that important and you still seem like a lovely guy. i like your dhoti.
My first thought was "Oh. No. Mate, what have you done?" But then I was like, "Oh well, it's something he wants to do." Though you look ENTIRELY different....
Awww Ben!! :) you look great. It's wonderful how much you are growing in your spirituality! I can remember the first time you mentioned it in video and it was new and interesting to you. How great to see how it has become part of you :) and just think! The money you'll save on shampoo and conditioner! Water will be cheaper for cut down shower time. Less clogged drains. No more hair ties. Roll out of bed and go....... Maybe buy some sunscreen tho ;-)
@Mircose Honestly I'm not sure... But man I shaved my head and it feels awesome. (Shaved it for no reason in particular though) and it's now grown back some.
@CommodorRainbow I also did it few times, some years ago.. but it was for no reason... nothing connected to a religion or anything like that.. I just thought you knew what is the connection/meaning or reason why some of the hare krishnas do it... I think Ben is having an identity crisis :D
OMG ben thats very nice, i would really wanna live with u and chant hare krishna, cut my hair, dance in the streets, experiencing bliss of god but my parents force me to finish college 1st
What is the purpose of shaved hair for a hari chrishna? ( i butchered that i know). I'm just curious as to whether it has any spiritual or religious purpose?
Went to Hare Krishna Temple in London (Soho Square) while studying abroad in London this past Spring semester. I am Catholic and have never really thought much about Hare Krishna but I found it really interesting and enlightening. Cool ideas.
@EmilyBlogs wanna see something really interesting and enlightening based on science and facts.. watch a documentary called Zeitgeist Moving Forward.. is freely available on youtube
meh @ hare krishna thing but each to their own i guess
whats the white stuff on your nose? why do hare krishna men have that hairdo? do you make people buy books when they dont want them? sorry thats a bit religonist but yah i bet your extra polite about it i hope.
I'm really happy to see that you're still living on strong and doing well, all the while being bald! haha. Lovely to see your face on the tubes again as well. I hope we can see it more often.
Well, I wondered where you had gotten to. Glad to see that you are still focused on your Path and that you are happy. You are looking a bit thin and I hope you are in good health. Good to see you are posting again and I hope to see more of your videos in the future. They are always interesting and can be quite educational too. Your hair is yours to do with as you will. How about peacock feather extensions?
errrr.... as long as you're happy with it, I mean, it's your hair :). I get grief about mine all the time because I'm ginger (that and it used to be really really long and wavy and... yeah... I looked like a lion/orangutan hybrid), so I'm not gonna hate on it. Liking the new leg wear though...
personally I'm going to miss your long hair it made you look like the guy from the movie get him to the greek but I understand and respect your choice to have it cut
@Thankyouhamsterdam It's called tilak...which are auspicious marks, of sacred clay and other substances, applied daily on the forehead (and sometimes on various limbs as well) to dedicate one’s body to God.
Good on you,Ben! Hope you continue making videos, you're hilarious!
