Hare Krsnaaaaa Maharaja!!!!
Por favor acepte mis humildes reverencias a sus pies de loto.

HpS-ASA -- Pies de lobo. 
 
Todas las glorias a Srila Prabhupada!!!!!
ASA - !!!

Todas las glorias a sri Guru y Gouranga!!!!!

Maharaja le escribo despues de algun tiempo, para informarle sobre mi sadhana,
Hace dos meses sin fallar que me conecto al " FMP ",

ASA - Si, muy, muy, muy, inspiradora para nostros!  Gracias!

...por su misericordia, su santa asociacion e inspiración,termino mis rondas todos los días temprano y luego empiezo con mis cosas, así que puedo decirle 16 rondas y 4 principios cumplidos...
Por la misericordia de Krshna tengo lo que siempre quise TIEMPO Y VOLUNTAD, para poder leer y aprender estoy aprendiendo ingles en un instituto, aprendiendo versos,
Estoy tomando el curso de discípulo con Prabhu Laksmana y estamos leyendo "Prabhupada Fundador Acarya".

ASA - Super Chica!
 

En cuanto a lectura  volvi a leer el NOI ,LEO EL BG  por la noche ,estoy empezando segundo canto del Bhagavatam capitulo 4-4 proceso de la creación  la conversación de  Maharaja Pariksit con Sukadeva Gosvami y como al oírlo comienza su renuncia a todo tipo de apego,Maharaja esto me hace recordar  la lectura de ayer del "FMP", ..  "PERO MIENTRAS TENGAMOS TAN SIQUIERA UN LIGERO APEGO,POR ESTE MUNDO MATERIAL,TENEMOS QUE PERMANECER AQUI. KRSHNA ES MUY ESTRICTO Y EL NO  PERMITE QUE ALGUIEN QUE TENGA UN VESTIGIO DE CONCEPTO MATERIAL DE LA VIDA ESTE CON EL .EL BHAKTI DEBE ESTAR LIBRE DE CONTAMINACION MATERIAL"
(fuerte lo que dice Prabhupada)

1.-Maharaja mi hijo es mi apego ¿COMO RENUNCIÓ A ESO?

HpS - Give your baby to Krsna, Radha, human sacrifice. Train your child to know Radha-Krsna as real Mother and Father. You are Nana. 

2.-El texto 4 del NOI  habla sobre "abandonar la compañía de los NO devotos",
¿En qué sentido  y medida debe hacerse?

ASA - No hablar intimentamente con ellos, "Hola, como esta?" eso es O.K. Trata predicar a ellos.

3.-¿es extremo pensar en abandonar la asociación de la familia si es para avanzar?

HpS - NOI, "nirabandhe krsna sambandhe, yukta vairagya ucyate". Renunciacioin no significa abandonar nada. Significa occupar todo en el servicio de Krsna. Sigue la ejemplo de Kunti, Draupadi.

4.-Todo lo que se encuentra fuera del Servicio Devocional son actividades "disparatadas" ....¿pero eso sera si no se hace en servicio a krshna?

ASA - Exacta!

5.-"FMP"¿ CUANDO PIDE QUE CANTEN SOLO LOS DEVOTOS INICIADOS PUEDEN  O YO TAMBIEN?

ASA - Cual quiere mono.

"FEP " Trató de conectarme siempre que puedo para el arati y oír la clase ,ya que a esa hora estoy colectando.

ASA - Puede mejorar su Ingles.
 

Tulasi esta creciendo muy bien ya tiene mas de 30 cmt , es hermosa.
Maharaja me regalaron unas deidades pequeñas de Jaganatha Baladeva y subhadra,las cuales puse en el altar y estoy atendiendo ,arati ofrenda de medio dia con hoja de Tulasi  y un incienso por la noche ,no le pregunte lo siento ,pero deseo saber si esta bien y puedo continuar atendiendo las y de ser asi.

ASA - Si...!

¿como o que hacer para servirlas mejor y que estén felices?.... y a mi hijo le regalaron un Gopalito,se le debe atender igual,hay alguna ofrenda en especial....

ASA - 1. Serve them with more love, 2. Mas limpieza, 3. Mas punctualidad, 4. Detalles eg. Mejor comida, flores, fragranzias, lamparas mejor altar, adornos.

MAHARAJA ME SIENTO MUY MUY BIEN,TENGO MUCHA TRANQUILAD  Y AUNQUE SE QUE HAY MUCHOS PROBLEMAS Y QUE EN ESTE MUNDO TODOS LOS TIENEN Y LOS TENEMOS YA NO LOS VEO COMO ALGO IMPORTANTE.
SOLO CANTAR CANTAR Y NUNCA DEJAR DE CANTAR
harer nama harer nama
harer namaiva kevalam
kalau nasty eva nasty eva
nasty eva gatir anyatha

«En esta era de riñas e hipocresía, el único modo de alcanzar la liberación consiste en cantar el santo nombre del Señor. No hay otra manera. No hay otra manera. No hay otra manera» (Brhan-naradiya Purana 38.126).

Maharaja gracias por su asociación ,soy alguien que aspira un día ser hija suya y poder servirlo.
Bhaktin Amparo

HpS - Muy bien. Espero Krsna adjusta todos sus desafios bien!!! Fisicalment, socialment, psychologicament!

Hare Krsna,

Esteemed Asta-saki Devi Dasi,

Gracias por su carta con inquietudes specificas acerca de devotos, Templo. Son muy buenos. Muy bien quierente de todo el mundo.

Estamos resondiendo por carta particular de Yahoo con copia al sabio, Abhirama Thakura Das. Si no la reciba escriba aqui otra vez, por favor.

    Hare Krsna Dear Gurudev,
    Please accept my humble obeisances at your lotus feet.
    All glories to Srila Prabhupada.
    All glories to Guru parampara.

    Radha-Krsna Ki Jay, Goura Bhakta Vrndaki Jai

    I am so so much happy to get Guruji's amrtavani and trying to execute all adeshas including book distribution, seminar, sanmelan and prasadam at our level best. Everything could be performed only by the Guruji's blessings.

HpS -ASA ---   AGTSP.....  Paoho....

In continuation of my regular reading of Bhakti Rasamitra Sindhu 1:2:221-23  here mentioned "Damodara Month" . What is it meant Damodara Month, which is worship in  the month of Kartika in Mathura?

HpS - The twelve monts of the Vedic year correspond with the twelve Tilaka marks. So, first month is Kesava, second month is Narayana ....  Then twelth month is Damodara. Other name is Kartika. Such a nice book. Hope to see you very soon!!

Yours fallen servant

Yamunesvara Das

HpS - 1. Just get his marvelous association.    2. Interview him for the Ministry of Education  new journal, Viplavah (www.jayarama.us/archives/branch/moe/Viplavah-170829.pdf).  The topics would be:

1. What is his and his communities basic philosophy of education?
2. What are the intellectual structuring of their education?   How are they organizing the material?  
3. What books, resource materials, do they have?
4. What is the history of their program?  
5. Who are involved as teachers/students?
6. How is their program accessible to other teachers, students around the world?
7. How does the program deal with the problem of "creating snakes with jewels on their heads" ie. making sure that the students are advancing in character, Bhakti-yoga, as well as jnana?
8. How does the program aid our focus on book distribution.
9. How is the program great fun.
10. We may also be producing a movie on this interviews from other sources also.

Is Prabhuji available on 4th - 5th October himself and even with some other associates? We will be having a Ministry of Education meeting in Ujjain then, and would like to get a few minutes of his time for a teleconference call if it is possible. What times would be convenient, inconvenient?

Hare Krsna Dear Gurudev,
    Please accept my humble obeisances at your lotus feet.
    All glories to Srila Prabhupada.
    All glories to Guru parampara.

HpS - ASA -- AGTATAD!

    Gurudev, Please help us to know your topics for Pune visit for all 4 days.

ASA - Let us use:

Light of the Bhagavata, Cultivation of the Human Spirit

H. H. Hanumatpresaka Swami (Prof. Huber Hutchin Robinson) has been a humble participant in Srila A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami's ISKCON, Sankirtan Movement, since 1972. Much of his formation has been through H. H. Bhakti-svarupa Damodara Swami and the Bhaktivedanta Institute. While in Pune for his second annual visit he will be presenting from the BBT Light of the Bhagavata, an extremely cultural and artistic presentation showing us how to reach many very enlighted audiences.
Maharaja is also a member of the ISKCON Ministry of Education and is very interested in dialog in any area of education with ISKCON. 

Is O.K.?  Look at the last post from/to Yamunesvara Das about the Manipur program and you can find the link to a big file of one of the LOB pictures to use.   This http://www.jayarama.us/archives/lob-sym-production.doc will give you a whole manual with suggestions about how to go ahead. Get lots of LOBs for sale. We can print the Table of Contents and Index. Also, lots of NOIs.   We will also write to Radha-shyama Das Prabhu with copy to you!  SANKIRTAN.    

Please help for the below also:

    How i can see Krsna at difficult time? And How i can laugh at difficult time?

ASA - Of course, SB 1.8.25. Smt. Kunti devi is asking for difficult times. You can see Krsna in difficult times if your were forcing yourself to see Him in "good times" with good Japa, good bhajan, kirtan, puja, karma-yoga. Good time is from 2-10AM. Gets more difficult as the day goes on. Do good morning programa and then ....        In any situation you can just act like Draupadi.
We did a Web search and got this nice looking link from Srila Sridhara Maharaja about Draupadi. What do you think of it?

There is another song that Dravida Das sings describing Draupadi's prayers. I wish I could find it.

Then try this for an answer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qOCcSmP_t8U

    How can i concentrate on Krsna's service at difficult time?

HpS - Prabhupada: When the problems become more intense, I chant louder.

    Thank you so much Gurudev.

your fallen servant,
Girivaradhari-Gopal Das
