Hare Krishna Guru Maharaj,

PAMHO. AGTSP!

As discussed, Mahuradis prabhu (then brahmacary), had your association and recommended that I take shelter of you.

He is originally from Slovenia, was married recently and is now at Murwillumbah, Australia. He is encouraging me to go there, but I know not, what service there is for there for me, as they have enough brahmacaries evidently.

I have licensing matter regarding my ability to practice as a lawyer in Melbourne, Australia, to tend to (or not)! It is however a very entangling profession for an unmarried neophyte, even if I renew my licence (it involves an administrative appeal). I am now just open to doing simple work and donating to a local temple.

I am presently in Europe, have capacity to offer service here in German (fluent) and French (intermediate), but need your instruction and guidance, as my mind is spinning presently (with too many options).

HpS - Our agtSP, advice is to keep association with a crew of people who know the nature of your detailed character, association and resources, and the you can get detailed direction in your service.

Lacking this just chant Hare Krsna and seeing your sincerity and solitude the Lord in the Heart will put a message in your next fortune cookie.

I am now making travelling plans so its getting rather urgent. Should I stay in Europe (with my UK Passport), or get back to Australia? Or perhaps you have some other service for me?

No - I don't have the link for HpS' WhatsApp group. Kindly provide at your earliest convenience.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Your servant,

Janardan-hari dasa.

HpS - Again, we don't have any detailed advice. If you don't have any clear idea about your service then Krsna probably does not have either, so just make a simple decision like whether to take an umbrella when you leave the house and react to the world as it presents itself.

PAMHO AGTSP

While reading the Srimad Bhagavatam, I came across this quote.

“By the grace of the Supreme Personality of Godhead, anyone can do anything, for the Lord is present in everything, all things being His parts and parcels (aṁśa-bhāgena) and increasing or decreasing by His supreme will.”

SB 10.2.9 Purport

I remember you speaking on this point several times, that we can all do amazing things.

I am so happy to see you and be able to serve you.

My obeisances.

HpS - Is, agtSP, in NOI, no? Text 3. With intelligence from Guru and Krsna we can see how dictaphone machine etc can be used for Krsna.

Our current bodies to not get diseases, they are diseases.

Best use of a bad bargain.

Always impetus to go back home, back to Godhood!!

The real world.

This is a tiny, tiny, tiny world.

All glory to You

I hope you are doing well. Thank you so much for your kind words and your thoughtful question. I truly appreciate your consideration.

-HpS - Esteemed tail-less monkey, paoho, after so many months of writing this letter has you understanding of the KRSNA book changed?

It is maybe the most central book in all of our meditations-.

Regarding that… my difficulty wouldn't be so much understanding the content, but rather being able to express it correctly. I feel I have a certain degree of appreciation and, above all, faith in what I read, but I don't feel confident or capable of explaining it clearly and completely to others.

Therefore, rather than implying that the book is incomprehensible to me, I should have said that my understanding is still developing, in process, or immature… and that, consequently, my ability to communicate it would also be insufficient or childish. That is what I meant to express. And… that any slight inclination toward the truth… I can only attribute to Srila Prabhupada’s causeless mercy. Because without that mercy, there would be neither interest nor approach.

On the other hand, I'd like to clarify something to avoid any possible misunderstanding. Actually, I don't speak or write English – only at a very basic level – 8%?

What I do is write my texts in Spanish and then translate them paragraph by paragraph using Google Translate. Perhaps that's why the final result might sound elaborate… but that's not really my level of English.

Thank you again for your question, as it is undoubtedly a central book in our meditation.

Espero te encuentres muy bien. Muchas gracias por tus amables palabras y por su significativa pregunta. Realmente aprecio tu consideración.

-HpS - Esteemed tail-less monkey, paoho, after so many months of writing this letter has you understanding of the KRSNA book changed?

 En cuanto a ello… mi dificultad no sería tanto la de entender el contenido, sino en poder expresarlo correctamente. Siento que tengo cierto grado de apreciación y sobre todo fe en lo que leo, pero no me siento seguro o capaz de explicarlo de manera clara y completa para los demás.

Por eso, antes que dar a entender que el libro me resulta incomprensible, debí decir que mi comprensión aún está en desarrollo, en proceso, o inmadura… y que por ello también mi capacidad para comunicarla sería insuficiente o infantil. Es lo que quise expresar. Y… que cualquier leve inclinación hacia la verdad… solo puedo atribuirla a la misericordia sin causa de Srila Prabhupada. Porque sin esa misericordia, no habría ni interés ni acercamiento.

Por otro lado, quisiera aclarar algo para evitar un posible malentendido. En realidad, no hablo ni escribo inglés – solo apenas con un mínimo nivel- 8 %?

Lo que hago es redactar mis textos en español y luego traducirlos párrafo por párrafo utilizando Google Translate. Quizá por eso el resultado final puede que suene elaborado… pero no es ese en verdad mi nivel de inglés.

Gracias nuevamente por tu pregunta, ya que sin duda se trata de un libro central en nuestra meditación.

I guess that as we hear more, that will stimulate our chanting and then we will be able to stimulate those sincere souls Krsna sends on our path to also enter into smaranam.

Google.com is grateful that we understand 8% English and give it help by selecting corresponding Spanish no?

Because we cannot talk to our neighbors we have to use anti-social media to talk to people on the other side of the moon.

Let us, lettuce, look at one more Blog post.

I am happy to share this experience of Vraja Bihari prabhu with our dear and respected spiritual master 😊

I find it lovely and interesting.

HpS (The Mystical) - Hare Krsna. 2.36PM. Our stomach ache has gone.

When we have them I think we are getting stomach cancer or impacted bowel movements that will cause our intestines to rupture.

These bodies are funny like that.

A big barrel of laughs 😃

We leave for the airport in less than twelve hours.

Three months in the road!!!

Intense beyond human imagination.

Sankirtan results so dense we cannot hold them in both hands.

I don't remember Braja bihari Das.

I don't remember and mystical knowledge of his father's occupation.

Is very strange.

Maybe goddes Durga enters our body and channels her service through us without our knowing it.

Happens to you?

Hare Krsna.

Hare Krsna.

Hari Dasa Thakura is quoted as saying that when The Name is present, what is the need for any other person or thing.

They will all be present in perfect perspective.

Thank you for the link.

Is funny and frightening.

We had so much inspiration from Navina nirada Das while in Santiago. I think everyone gets 18-inches of vertical progress back to Godhead everytime they see him.

Hare Krishna!!! Jaya Gurumaharaja!! Please accept my humble obeisances🙏🏻👣🪷 All glories to SRILA PRABHUPADA!!

Here I send You the letter that our dear sankirtanera and wonderful person, Mother Jambabati Devi Dasi, sent me in the form of 3 audios.

I transcribed it exactly as it was, just as she asked me to, even my name repeated twice by her, Radha 😊, I copied it exactly as it is in the audio.

I also attached the photos She asked me to send to You. All I did was enlarge the letters and add color to, "as I understand it 😊", make it easier for Her lotus eyes, beloved Gurumaharaja, to read.

Here it goes..!!!! :

" Separated " ...

Nitay Gaura Premanande..!!!

Dear and ever-remembered Gurudeva, thanks to the mercy of Mother Radha Japa Prati Jalpa Radha, whom I always respect, admire, and love very much, she is doing me the great favor of allowing me to send this letter to You.

Since the last time I saw You, Dear Gurudev, my father's situation has become increasingly complicated, implying that he has no fixed residence due to various circumstances; he has been moved from place to place, and I, as always, am making arrangements to be close to him, in the service of his care.

That helped me maintain enthusiasm in the service I'm performing. I try to see my father no longer in a materialistic way. Little by little, my father's purifying phase is coming to an end. Everything passes and everything ends.

I recall a verse from Srimad Bhagavatam 1, 8, 25, which states that one should not pay so much attention to the calamities of this material world, for they are merely fleeting dreams. Whenever I felt distressed and discouraged, I would remember You, Gurudev, when You once told me that You would only accept my tears if they were for Krishna. Anything else was my ego.

That oriented my mind and gave me the strength to continue. I am always separated from you, whom I miss so much, and that is why I cry. I am also separated from the temples, from the Vaishnavas, from the distribution of books.

But I know that in the near future I will again have the opportunity of His association. It will all happen because of the faith I have placed in His divine lotus feet, which is the only hope for this worthless sinner to be brought to Krishna.

Her useless and clumsy servant:

Mother Jambabati Devi Dasi

P.S. In mid-July of last year, my father had an accident and fractured his right hip. He was only able to have surgery in November, and then came the worst part: waiting for the prosthesis they put in to heal. That took about two more months. His Alzheimer's progressed significantly due to all the nervous disorders caused by being restrained—his feet, hands, and chest.

His prosthesis is now fitted. He still needs rehabilitation to be able to walk. His care currently requires 24-hour attention. These past few months I have faced very difficult trials, but always placing at the center of my life the most important service, which is the chanting of the holy names.

Despite the limitations of not having internet access and a barely functional cell phone, I maintain occasional contact with my devoted friends, who are always inspiring me with their service. I once read that Srila Bhaktisidanta Sarasvati said we should view this material world and everything in it as filled with ingredients for the Lord's service. This entire world is intended for the service of Krishna. He said, "Try to see your father and mother as Krishna's father and mother."

" En separación " ...

Nitya Gaura Premaanande !!

Querido y siempre recordado Gurudeva , gracias a la misericordia de madre Radha Japa Prati Jalpa Radha, a quien yo siempre respeto, admiro y quiero mucho. Ella me está haciendo el gran favor de poder enviar esta carta hacia Usted.

Desde la última vez que lo ví querido Gurudev, la situación de mi padre se fue complicando cada vez más, implicando no tener residencia fija por diferentes circunstancias fue trasladado de un lugar a otro y yo, como haciendo arreglos, y como siempre haciendo arreglos para estar cerca de El , en el servicio de su cuidado.

Eso me ayudó a mantener entusiasmo en el servicio que estoy realizando . Trato de ver ya no a mi padre con un concepto material. Poco a poco la etapa purificadora de mi padre está llegando a su fin. Todo pasa y todo se termina .

Recuerdo un verso del srimad bhagavatam 1, 8, 25, en dónde se dice , en dónde se afirma que no hay que prestar tanta atención a las calamidades de este mundo material que son sólo sueños que se terminan. Siempre que me sentía angustiada y desanimada lo recordaba a Usted Gurudev, cuando una vez me dijo que Usted , aceptaba mi llanto sólo si era por Krsna. Lo demás era mi ego.

Eso ubicaba mi mente y me daba ánimos de seguir. Siempre estoy en separación de Usted a quien extraño tanto y por eso lloro. También en separación estoy de los templos, de los vaisnavas, de la distribución de libros.

Pero sé que en el futuro cercano nuevamente tendré la oportunidad de Su asociación . Todo va a ocurrir por la fé que tengo puesta en Sus divinos pies de loto, que es la única esperanza para que esta inútil pecadora sea llevada a krsna.

Su inútil y torpe sirvienta:

Madre Jambabati Devi Dasi

PD. A mediados de Julio del año pasado mi padre sufrió un accidente y se fracturó la cadera derecha. Recién pudo ser operado en noviembre y luego vino lo peor : Esperar que la prótesis que le pusieron, suelde. Eso llevó cerca de 2 meses más El Alzheimer le avanzó mucho por todos los estados de alteración nerviosa que le provocó, estar amarrado , de pies, manos y tórax .

Actualmente ya fijó su prótesis. Todavía está pendiente su rehabilitación para que pueda caminar. Su cuidado actualmente demanda las 24 horas del día. Estos últimos meses estuve afrontando pruebas muy difíciles, pero siempre poniendo en el centro de mi vida, el servicio más importante que es el canto de los santos nombres .

Mantengo, dentro de las limitaciones de no tener internet y un celular que casi no funciona, comunicación con mis devotos amigos de cuando en cuando, que siempre me están inspirando con su servicio . Una vez leí que Srila Bhaktisidanta Sarasvati dijo que debemos ver este mundo material y todo lo que se encuentre en El, cómo lleno de ingredientes para el servicio del señor. Todo este mundo está destinado al servicio de KRSNA ,El decía, trata de ver a tu padre y a tu madre como el padre y la madre de ...

We were able to talk with Jambavati Devi Dasi for more than half an hour while in Lima with the help of Gandharva Das.

It was very satisfying and I hope it helped her get some more practical perspective for her service to Krsna through her father etc.

Now the Sun is at 2.27PM here in Mexico.

Leave for the Sunday Festival at 3.30PM

Leave for the airport for USA at 1.15AM tomorrow.

Hare Krsna.

Dear Guru Mahārāja, All glories to Srila Prabhupada!

Please accept my humble obeisances.

CC Ādi 1.35, purport

Śrī Jīva Gosvāmī advises that one not accept a spiritual master in terms of hereditary or customary social and ecclesiastical conventions. One should simply try to find a genuinely qualified spiritual master for actual advancement in spiritual understanding.

My understanding of Śrīla Prabhupāda’s statement, where he cites Śrī Jīva Gosvāmī, is that a sincere seeker who is ready to accept a spiritual master should not do so on the basis of hereditary succession (birth, dynasty, nationality), customary or social conventions, or ecclesiastical and institutional procedures.

It seems to me that accepting a guru is an intimate and deeply personal spiritual relationship, founded on realization, qualification, and genuine guidance in Kṛṣṇa-bhakti — not merely on social structure or organizational authorization.

At the same time, within ISKCON there is a formal institutional process by which one is recommended, evaluated, and approved to act as a dīkṣā-guru. This creates some uncertainty in my mind about how to reconcile that structured procedure with the principle that accepting a spiritual master should not be based on ecclesiastical conventions.

From this question, several other challenges seem to arise. One example is whether a jīva-ātmā in a female body could act as an initiating spiritual master.

That is my specific doubt here. Since I try to follow Śrīla Prabhupāda’s words carefully and faithfully, I would very much appreciate your comments and guidance on this matter.

Thank you!

In an attempt to be your servant,

What comes to our mind is that a baby should not accept milk from a nanny goat.

In the beginning it is not so much of an intimate relationship, no?

Somebody is offering us a ripple and the result is good.

We take Prabhupada at path-pradarsika Guru and become intimate enough to get Baptized by him.

He does not require blind faith.

As long as he is advancing us, we agree to follow the process.

Then we see him from the level of Brahman, then paramatma, then bhagavan, then brajabasi

Narada muni can direct us to Radha kunda but cannot go there.

The institution is like Nanda Maharaja's village.

They are formalities but not without meaning.

When proper even the institutional authorities know that these are roles they play and behind them are there personal friendships and dealings in the community.

O. K.?

One step forward?
