All glories to Srila Prabhupada!! All glories to Guru Maharaj HpS!!

Hare Krishna Guru Maharaj,

 All glories to Gauranga.....we had a wonderful time last Sunday. We were about 90 of us and we really had a good time. By Guru Maharaj's mercy ,the  weather was so pleasant. Sending Guru Maharaj some pictures taken on that day.  

And you said, "But does that mean that the sacred hymns and chants are not really sacred? Are they just the chants to get things in this world, go to the realms of the Devatas? Is there something more?

And he said, "________________" Well,well just follow these instructions and I shall show you the tip of the iceberg".

              So there ,I was, with a whole lot of people waiting eagerly for his instructions.His first instruction was to listen to the sounds that would soon follow...

            The monk was seated in a raised platform and we were separated from the platform by a good 70 feet or so.

            And this Spirit  with all his outer coverings of flesh and blood did something magical. He started the invocations...." Yoga yoga Yogeshwara.....Bhoota Bhoota Bhooteshwara.....Kaala Kaala Kaaleshwara....Shiva Shiva Sarveshwara....Sambho Sambho Mahadeva.....". Again.....and again......and many, many more times....

The invocation was invigorating, as if a trillion cells suddenly woke up from deep slumber! Very soon, I saw Him as nothing but white, sparkling white light...just a ball of white light....and His chants continued...

His second instruction..." Everybody please close your eyes". We did as instructed.So slowly , I closed my eyes....and Lo!! my auditory perception became astoundingly clear...the greatest Vaishnava's vibration was all too clear...nothing short of the sounds of the distant waves in the ocean as we wait for the sun to rise! I lost my sense of time as the sounds of the roaring waves reached its cresendo ....and I was no longer aware of my material body and its surrounds. I did not know how long the bliss lasted. The monk disappeared after giving His third instruction..." keep calling out Sambho's name...till dawn".

      Blissful though the chants were,there was still an unimaginable longing for yet something forlorn....something primeval.......

      And as I slept off, I saw this indescribably beautiful lady with long hair, eyes looking towards East, so very beautiful..... Surprisingly the whole body was yellow and I said," Oh!! Mother!! You are so beautiful. How come you are so beautiful?" . There was absolutely no response...just a mesmerising smile....

   I woke up to the sounds of ...Isvarah paramah Krsnah

                                                        sac cid ananda vigrahah

                                                        anaadir aadir Govindah

                                                        sarva kaarana kaaranam....

I remain ,

your most fallen servant,

Sarada Gaurangi DD

Have you read the description of his meeting with the Pracetas in the end of the Fourth Canto???

Hare krsna gurudev 

Dandavat pranam at your lotus feet 

AGTSP 

Gurudev I would like to request you to kindly visit shillong this year during your stay in India. You had asked regarding scholars that you would like to talk with.  What type of topics would you like to discuss with them. And how should I approach them.  Currently we can have a seminar at a college for general students. A doctor of physiology is also interested to talk with you but that is not confirmed.  What themes would you like to do seminars on. And there is a university here  where they have a subject in philosophy. I will approach them in few days If you confirm regarding if or not you would like to visit. 

Regarding my sadhana. I am chanting my rounds,  mangal Aarti most days when I don't have night duty but gayatri Is not stable due to duty hours but mostly one or two sadhya I am doing. Rarely all 3.  4 regulative principles are OK.  Not very very strictly fixed but OK as of now. I am reading one sloka of Bhagavatam everyday most days. Canto1. 

But my mind and heart is very much troubled. It seems my astrology charts are very very bad shape and I am going through rahu Maha Dasha. And my moon positions is in zero degree. The astrologer I consulted said that my chart is very very bad materially and not very definite spiritually. Where do I stand I don't know. My career Is nearly down the drain. And i am not growing spiritually also. Don't really know where I am going. My friends r very successful and happy but I don't know what is going wrong. I have tried most things that I can think of.. Mangal Aarti,  chanting,  deity worship.. Still no help. Can you please suggest some solution. 

I am not being a proper disciple and asking regarding my material life. I know krsna is testing but I think I won't be successful in this test.already failed... Please suggest.

Hare krsna. Ur servant.

HpS - ASA -- Hare Krsna. AGTSP. Paoho. Sometimes we have very Tamasic Karma. We are like turtles living off of decayed bodies in the bottom of the river, but if we have any spiritual awareness, religious awareness, dedication to truth, then we must try to do austerities for Krsna, for eternal life satisfying His delightful desires.

If we don't have any sense of spiritual loss or defeat, then where is the the possibility of doing anything? So, you feel spiritual depression, then you must have some perception of spiritual success.

Do what you can.

Even if it is to chant Hare Krsna one time, or listen to your patients and give them some KC dialog.

That way you will progress.

I don't know the details of India visit yet, but honestly may be better for us to meeting Kolkata.

Why is you material career down?

You finished a specialization, no?

<small>All Glories to Srila Prabhupada</small>

<small>All Glories to Sri Sri Goura Nitay</small>

<small>My obescience on your lottus fet Maharaja.</small>

<small>Ma. Soledad from Chile again.</small>

<small>Maharaja understanding this blog as a means of helping our questions, as a support for our spiritual progress is that I have raised some questions. Many times I have read letters from devotees with questions or situations very similar to mine, and their answers have served as a guide. Now I have some questions to ask you, as I do not want to speculate or talk to other people, just as I know that Prabhupada's books contain the answers, but I want to know yours as a guide, and you are a totally reliable source , To whom I will forever give my obeisances and obeisances.</small>

<small>HpS - ASA -- We make mistakes and then we are happy when devotees correct us with words from Srila Prabhjupada's books etc.</small>

<small>I would like to know what makes the devotees so much offense, can we explain this through their mental situation? I have that doubt since I feel that explaining it from the mental we fall into the material, but I understand that it is also the game of Maya. As psychologists we know that there are mystical delusions and other types as well, how can we cope with this in Krishna Consciousness? Maharaja, how should we relate to those devotees who have offended the highest authority? How should we see them? Lei in the Bhagavad Gita that is considered as a fall.</small>

<small>HpS - ASA - Hare Krsna.  There are many different reasons why devotees appear to be offensive or are offensive. That is why we have 18,000 verses in SB. Daksa in the fourth canto was offensive to Lord Siva. So, we have to learn the lessons from the Srimad Bhagavatam and then we can give detailed medicine for detailed circumstances.
I would also like to know how to relate to devotees who think or believe that they are the absolute controllers, forgetting that Krishna controls, regulating themselves who can access spiritual life, even so when the same Diksa Guru is who decides to accept someone as a disciple.</small>

<small>I have sadness in my heart Maharaja, because I have witnessed many offenses, I have sadness because many devotees are affected by these without anyone doing anything about it. I also committed some offenses towards a specific devotee, Prabhu Amara conversed with Abhimanyu to solve the situation, it was not in the best way but I got a great apprenticeship. I also had the right association, Prabhu Sri Bhakti and Indira Mataji, Prabhu Martin Moris, Prabhu Garga Acarya and Nitya Mataji, to name a few. For me, they are devoted dedicated, who gave me their advice, devotees who are making their greatest effort in the spiritual life, very loving. Thanks to them and of course to Abhimanyu I started to see that I was failing in me, Maharaja Dhanvantari with only one instruction also touched my heart, and from that day I can be more aware that I should not hurt others, that I should not criticize them , Understand that each person is a different process, each person is a soul that is being purified. I do not know what would become of me without the association of devotees.</small>

HpS - We can always remember that in Vrndavana only Krsna and Balarama kill demons , everyone else, us, all call "Hare Krsna!   Hare Rama!. Then They will kill or adjust the situation. If Krsna wants to empower us to kill someone or correct a situation He will give us good intelligence and then everyone will be happy after the correction is over.
<small>Finally Maharaja, I want to make an offering. As I wrote in my previous letter with Abhimanyu we are running the Devotee Care Program, which was authorized by the temple authority. Prabhu Amara received it in a very loving way, which amazes me. I must say that I have seen very positive changes in him, remembering that we are all doing our best in this way, so I feel very grateful for him. I sent the link of a note made by the communications department about the Program, I hope you have a moment to read it. You and Maharaja Dhanvantari are our greatest inspiration for this service, which is totally directed towards devotees with much love. And I hope to continue growing along with ideas of more devotees, the creativity together is usually more productive, we need the participation of more and more people creating in service of the Vaisnavas of the Yatra of Santiago in this program</small>

<small>Some time ago I sent you a report, I did not write urgently because I did not consider it that way, just to tell you after a while how my Sadhana and other topics are going.</small>

<small>Thank you as always, for being so kind, so merciful to all of us, for teaching us to tolerate, the great legacy of Prabhupada through a pure devotee like you. What mercy without cause we have to be able to associate with you !!!</small>

<small>Hare Krisna Maharaja
