Hare Krishna, Maharaj, mis reverencias.

Nanda Gram está en Santander, Sita y Prema vienen a veces de visita y Jara mara Hari Das prabhu viene a visitar, yo en este momento estoy en Madrid, vine hace unos meses por que me enfermaba muy seguido y no me sentía bien, además estuve lidiando con papeles legales y planeo asentarme en Irlanda de el Norte en algunos meses, últimamente no tengo mucha asociación con devotos, solamente nos enviamos mensajes, veo sus clases en la página de Facebook y mis rondas no han sido las mejores, hay días en los que me siento un poco perdida pero sigo cantando para que Krishna me muestre el camino, que puedo hacer para seguir fortificando mi relación con Krishna? También me gustaría saber cómo puedo seguir siendo iniciada si no estoy viviendo en el templo? También tengo un pequeño altar pero quisiera saber si podría tener mi propia deidad para poder hacer aarti todos los días y crear esa atmósfera privada de la que me hablo la última vez.

mis más humildes reverencias. Espero que se encuentre bien y su salud sea buena.

Hare Krishna, Maharaj, my obeisances.

Nanda Gram is in Santander, Sita and Prema come to visit sometimes, and Jara mara Hari Das prabhu comes to visit, I am in Madrid at the moment,

I came a few months ago because I got sick very often and I didn't feel well,

I was also dealing with legal papers and plan to settle in Northern Ireland in a few months,

lately I don't have much association with devotees, we only send each other messages, I see their classes on the Facebook page and my rounds have not been the best,

there are days when I feel a little lost but I keep chanting for Krishna to show me the way,

what can I do to continue strengthening my relationship with Krishna?



I would also like to know how I can continue to be initiated if I am not living in the temple?


I also have a small altar but I would like to know if I could have my own deity so I can do aarti every day and create that atmosphere that I was talking about last time.


my most humble reverences. I hope you are well and your health is good.

HpS/ASA - agtsp. hk/he. thank you for your letter.

to get initiated you need approval of temple president or other agent authorized by GBC Secretary.

Introduce yourself to you, geographically closest temple president and explain your situation. they can approve you even without physical residence,

hare krsna.


who is on your altar now? statues and pictures are the same in many ways. they are both authorized by Srila Prabhupada for simple worship. offer incense, flowers, lamp, fragrant oil, food with respect.


as long as you are chanting hk/hr you are making progress in the path. other items eg. 4-principles. m. arati, class, are to accelerate effect of the Mantra,

Hari bolo. join us in next letter.

thank you.

your efforts are heroic. do not think less of yourself. go ahead. every step is permanent purification if you accept.

Question

Hare Krishna

PAMHO AGTSP.

I read a letter with a response which categorized, Maya, as a black witch. There was also mention of getting help from a White Witch.

My question is, what are these categories of the Black Witch and White Witch?

Since the letter is about service involving spiritual books, could you please cite some reference in the scriptures which describes or defines a Black Witch and a White Witch?

Thank you


HpS/ASA - Thank you. Very good question. The statement was by Bh. Tom.

The distinction is kind of on a general basis.

We heard from Bhadra vardana Das Brahmacari many years ago that Vedic culture includes left and right handed Tantra, or Black and White magic.

We follow the Pancha ratrika Tantra, no? It is a Sattvika Tantra.

Radha-rani is the Tantrix, Witch, of White Magic, and Durga is the Tantrix of Black Magic.


As much as we are not pure devotees, we see Subhadra and goddess Durga under who's authority one can eat meat and drink wine. (SB 1.17.38 mentions this, no?).


Then, when Krsna calls Yoga Maya, Subhadra, in the first chapters of the Tenth Canto, He mentions that she will be known by different names because She will satisfy different desires for the materialists.

Is some help.


We can all aspire to see here as the Gopis do in the Prayers to Goddess Katyayani in their Agrahayana vrata in the 10th canto.

🙇

Sri RadhaKund visit..

All glories to Srila Prabhupada. All glories to Guru Maharaj, H. H. Hanumat Presaka Swami Maharaj. Please accept my humble obeisances at Your sweet lotus feet. Hare Krishna Guru Maharaj.


HpS/ASA - AgtSP! paoho. Can you see our 'sweet lotus feet'? 🙂 I guess everyone of us has 'sweet lotus feet; but now are covered. Are they hooves, bird feet, monkey feet, one foot (flower). 😃


Dear Guru Maharaj,

We are so happy to hear about Spain visit...closer to Sri RadhaKund...America is so far away...


Guru Maharaj, we would like to offer our service at your lotus feet by arranging the ticket to Sri RadhaKund, if Guru Maharaj allows us to get this service....for the pleasure of Srila Prabhupada. When will be the most suitable date for the visit, we would like to book the ticket as soon as possible.


Visited Sri Dham Mayapur for Gaura Purnima. Thank you for Your mercy Guru Maharaj. We were 10 of us travelling together from Manipur, some of them visiting Mayapur for the first time....everytime it's a new experience for me.


HpS - When we come into the Temple after putting our things in our room, after months, years of not seeing Radha Madan-madhava, we feel like we are dying. Like we have come home.

..


We are continuing with our daily morning and evening classes. Going for Mangal arti to temple only on Sundays. Rest of the days we offer our services at home. Chanting 16 rounds and continuing with Gayatri.


Celebrated 75th Vyasa Puja of H. H. Jayapataka Swami Maharaj at devotee's residence. H. H. Jayapataka Swami Maharaj has been so merciful. At Mayapur, had an intense desire to get Maharaj's Darshan....and just in about 2 mins time, Maharaj came by in a big, big auto rickshaw...customized one...how great and merciful are our Vaishnava acharyas...I was left mesmerized and bewildered by the grace. All glories to Srila Prabhupada.


We are subscribing 30 copies of BTG magazine from Vrindavan and started distributing ....thank you again Guru Maharaj...your mercy is boundless...


Sending some photos dear Guru Maharaj...we are eagerly waiting for you at RadhaKund dear Guru Maharaj.


Your insignificant servant always,

Sarad Gaurangi D. D.


HpS - AgtSP.

Such nice news. Thank you. Thank you all.

Travel to Radha Kunda???

We take your offer seriously, but we think about our body and what kind of travel we can do. With your impetus maybe we can make some more plans about a visit to Radha Kunda during the stay in Spain.

HpS/ ASA - Gauranga! . . . who's the news? what's the news? when arrive in NMDh??


TC - Hare Krishna Maharaja! Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to you.

Still in India. In Coimbatore now, on my way to Chennai (or Madras as it was known before). Need to look for some silver simhasan for Lord Narasimha Deva Saligram. Also need to spend a couple of days at my family's house.


Simhasan work for Yoga Narasimha Deva is going on. Need to get the carvings completed... As of now, plans haven't changed. Supposed to be reaching Hugh's Town on the 17th. If the work gets completed before that, I may prepone my ticket.


HpS/ASA - Great! Should be a powerful festival.
