Hare Krishna Dear Gurudeva 

I have a question which is a bit rumbling in my mind , why does diferent religion separate us  instead of bring us all together , for example ive met with people that they are very catholic and act more like we are so diferent we can't share our  Love for the Lord cause to them the Lord is just JESUS and anyone else is just wrong and false GOD , my mind can understand that  . why are they so closed to the fact that GOD has many names and it manisfate or show himself in diferent way through time .

The fact that catholic or an evangelist are CLOSED minded makes me think so much why is that ? 

Please clarify me  Gurudeva  or correct me . 

dandavats to your Lotus golden feet.

your silly servant 

Japa nama Rama Das 

HpS - NOI 4  and 5.   There are Tamasic devotees for Siva, Visnu, Jehovah, Allah, Science.  They want to be glorified at the expense of others so they take try to put down other's faith, religion, so that theirs looks bigger easily. Correct?  Othe thing may be that they push aways others out of ingorance, not hearing the right think about who they are, then they can be changed by education!   Teaching by example, even for a long time.

Hare Krishna Dear Gurudeva 

Its being a while since i wrote i am very ashamed 
to have taken so long , i always think that  
unless that i dont have updates i am not worthy of writing , I hope you are well and in the company of Hanuman , Lord Rama and Sita .

HpS - AGTSP!!!!   paoho.   You can just write, "We chanted the Mahamantra one time today and looked for people who might be interested in buying a book on Yoga."
 
I am still having full service at the temple making the sunday and week days garlands, i wanted to let you know we saw there is a an increase of new devotees interested in Krishna conciousness so Prahbu actunanda [Acutya-anandana?] and I decided doing a follow up  with the young devotees i am so happy they are very active ,3 of them took shelter in HH Bhakti Sundar Maharaja and getting ready for initiation. I am so happy I can help out with this new service, its being 4 months of the follow up with the new ones .

Outside of the temple there are some walls in the street that have some ugly spray painting this saturday i am decided to paint over them and put Krishna name in sanscrit so it will be sacred . At my work my coworkers ask me alot of krishna and makes me happy i can speak to them about his glories , when i can i bring them cake prasad that i make Banana cakes or ladhu ,some of them got from me some books of Srila Prabhupada its a humble sankirtan i know its not much but i am trying.

ASA -    ---[SUPER]---

I am trying to form a group of young devotees for Food for life but for the homeless at night .

Ratha Yatra is coming son June 3 i am so excited they ask me for a new flyer for the festival and Snana Yatra I am working on them as soon as i have them ill will send it to you Gurudeva,

HpS - Jayananda Das used to make them also.

also a friend of mine from Venezuela is coming to panama the 31 of May she is a tattoo artist and chef as well, into Krisna conciousness , when i was in venezuela last year i sent her japa beads and many books she chants everyday and is a vegetarian. She is very inspired by you Gurudeva ,she will like to meet you and be instructed , i am so glad she gets out of the situation there she was so eager to help out with service for the Lord , frustrated she couldnt do any temple service . Its so beautiful how just talking about the Lord inspires and moves so many .

Bhaktin Carol from Buenos Aires

Dear Maharaja: 

All the glories to Sri Sri Radha Krishna
All the glories Srila Prabhupada
All the glories to you
Please accept my humble obeisances

Thanks for answer my letter, your answers have been very helpful.
Now I find myself in a different situation, my moods are changing constantly, when I'm doing service, chant, or I'm with devotees I feel very happy. Meanwhile there are situations that make me feel stress and anxiety. They are related to my job and the home maintenance.

I've been working at the same place more than two years, it became repetitive and boring, I work lots of hours and I come back home very exhausted. Having to pay the rent and bills stresses me because it's a big part of my salary. Always I'm going to have to deal with this kind of things. Sometimes I think about to change my job or home, but that isn't going to resolve it.
 
After to spend the weekend at the temple or with devotees is really hard to return to work on Monday, especially after Sunday Feast, Sunday became in my favorite day.

Thanks Maharaja for your mercy
To serve you
With love Bhaktin Carol

HpS - ASA -- Maybe you were an Egyptian Pharoh in your last life and you made lots of people work hard every day hauling enourmous stones into place for your pyramid, and now you have to pay for that.   Of course, maybe you were something else.

Pray for Krsna to engage us in His service.   Then whatever external situation presents itself we can basically accept it as the Lord's will. Of course He may be offering us the chance to change our situation also.  We push to improve things for our service but don't get violent and then depend on Krsna. So, many times we see obvious miracles and something happens. Other times we see that this strange situation is what He wants and we accept it.

If you are stuck in a booring job then there is the opportunity to think about whatevery you want to think about or sing whatever songs you want to sing, Memorize songs. Don't be too worried about the roof over your head or the food on your plate. Don't be negligent but put Sankirtan first!

Nice photos!!

Report sadhana confidential

7 years, 12 months ago by madhavi1976 in Personal Sadhana Reports

All Glories to Sri HpS Guru Maharaja, Sripada Maharaja and A.C. Bhativedanta Swami Prabhupada.

Hare Krsna, Mataji,
AGTSP paoho.   We see that your letter is headed, 
Report Sadhana, confidential", but as we explain in the description of the Blog, Letters to the Editor file that should be linked to th Kapi Dhvaja, we are all B'caris here and cannot hadnle confidential correspondences with ladies. So we won't read any further because we would have to make the contents publick.

Just write about things in a general sense here and then if there are confidential details that we can handle we can arrange confidential correspondences with a proper gentleman (and lady) to help us.
Hare Krsna!   Of course, Krsna is the confidential friends of all sincere souls!

Visit of SSBBS and program proposal ( 13 al 16) Urgent.

7 years, 12 months ago by Isvari devi dasi in Calendar Development

Hare Krsna Dear Maharaja.

PAMHO, AGTSP!

I hope you are feeling better. I read that hay fever is only cured with antihistamines but produces sleep.

A natural remedy is to boil half orange, half toronja and half lemon in a liter of water and then take this with honey and also take infusion of chamomile.

Here hay fever is not frequent, we have no experience of this but in other countries as Spain and USA is more common.

HpS - It is just allergia in Spanish. 90% of the people in Santiago have some reaction because of the Chinese elms.   We have got so much relief from following Ayuveda.  Systemic problem not a disease.

I am very pleased to communicate to you the following: My Gm, SS Bhaktibhusana Swami will be visiting Lima from July 10 to 17. He will meet you, I very happy about this.

HpS - ASA -- Me to. We can exchange our views on Vaisnava dress.

I want to propose to you the following program (maybe there may be some changes):

-Thursday, July 13, 6:30 am You give the SB class in Wilson

1 pm lunch at Abhirama's house (we are coordinating with him), from you and SSBBS.

Friday, July 14, 6:30 am SB class would give SSBBS

8.15am breakfast in wilson, you and SSBBS (if your time allows)

5pm  Meeting on education in Wilson (organized for Lad)

7pm  Class in Wilson: Remembrances on Srila Prabhupada (both you and SSBS would ask you to share your experiences, your accomplishments as disciples of SP)

Sunday 16th at Chosica, SB class would give it SSBBS

Padayatra in Chosica.

I will send an invitation to SSBBS to participate in the Padayatra.

Sri Nrisimhadeva proctec you

with affection

ys and spiritual niece

HpS - Hare Krsna!   When we get Urgent letters we have to answer them Urgently so the answers aren't always so profound!   But...   We were thinking to leave our plans flexible for the 12-14th July, when we get back from Santiago, so we can see what happens while we are in Peru in June. O.K?

We could fix details before we leave for Santiago. Except for meeting on education in Wilson like 5PM Friday, 14th July, and making comments about our reminisciences of Srila Prabhupada on education that night with Maharaja's own remenisciences. We would like to propose that now. Other days we have no conflict with anyone fixing morning and evening programs for Maharaja as is convenient and we can join in as is useful!

Hare Krsna!    Thank you for these intelligent efforts to organize the Sankirtan.

Urgente - Muy buenas noticias

Hk Paoho

Gurudeva how are you? I can not imagine how you feel after so many years of practicing spiritual life, how you see people, being able to see more than others.

Once sad after leaving the service of Pujari in Wilson, traveling for the first time out of Peru to Cochabamba, to accompany him on his tour and met such kind, educated and good devotees, I returned later in my beginnings of Sankirtan with the group of P. Aravinda, and we share nice experiences with the Bolivian family. That was the beauty of that service, to go and come free for the world, and to always find friends everywhere.

On Sunday Chosica's show was beautiful, I found many of my Jambavanitos from last year, what I like about the relationship with children, is their purity and kindness. I had a nice interview with P. Mathuresh, I was so excited about my former colleagues at NIMSAR that I asked P. Mathuresa that they will be in charge of BS, on the subject of examination administration. And that I would take from my proposal the part that interests me most, form the area of ​​the group of devoted educators and projects, So my first task entrusted by P. Mathuresh and P. Karuna is to recruit all educators. Within a month it will only be seen in the National Board who is approved to teach in ISKCON - Peru, "the finger of Caesar", What nerves! In a month everything is decided in National Board, both projects and everything will be decreed.

Then my team will meet and rethink our project, as suggested, we will serve the education officer of the National Board. Gurudeva we wish to be an ASA branch. And we need a new name for this area, can you give us one as nice as the last one? One of the current projects in my area is Sunday School. We need constant counseling. As for the meetings with you Candra and LAD, I can on Saturdays any time, and from 5 PM on Mondays and Thursdays. Please Gurudeva give us his mercy, so that we can attend and have your association.

May Krsna bring him soon to the land of the Inca.

HpS - Hare Krsna!   AGTSP  paoho.   Let us bring these projects back to the level of Normal and no longer Urgent, is O.K.? <img alt="smiley" height="23" src="http://hps.monkeywarrior.com/sites/all/libraries/ckeditor/plugins/smiley/images/regular_smile.png" title="smiley" width="23" />  Right now it does not seem necessary to have any official branches of ASA in Peru. Let us just see how we can work with Karuna Krsna Das to get things organized and if we need separate institutions like ASA to be working there formally, then we can make formations then.

What will the Kids do for the Pada-yatra?  Many flags?  Go visit Sunday schools in other churches, Jewish, Mormon, Evangelicos?

Hk paoho

=========================

Gurudeva cómo está?, no me imagino  cómo se siente después de tantos años de practicar la vida espiritual, como ve a las personas, pudiendo ver más que los otros.

Alguna vez triste después de dejar el servicio de pujari en Wilson, viaje por primera vez fuera del Perú a Cochabamba, para acompañarlo en su gira y conocí a tan amables, educados y buenos devotos, volví después en mis inicios de Sankirtan con el grupo de P. Aravinda, y compartimos bonitas experiencias con la familia de Bolivia. Eso era lo bello de ese servicio, ir y venir libre por el mundo, y reencontrar siempre a amigos en todas partes.

El domingo el programa de Chosica estuvo hermoso, re-encontré muchos de mis Jambavanitos del año pasado, lo que me gusta de la relación con los niños, es su pureza y bondad. Tuve una bonita entrevista con P. Mathuresh, vi tan entusiasmados a mis ex colegas de NIMSAR, que le pedí a P. Mathuresa que ellos se encargarán del BS, del tema de la administración de examinación. Y que yo tomaría de mi propuesta la parte que más me interesa, formar el área del grupo de devotos educadores y proyectos, Entonces mi primera tarea encomendada por P. Mathuresh y P. Karuna es reclutar a todos los educadores. Dentro de un mes recién se verá en Junta Nacional quien es aprobado para enseñar en ISKCON - Perú, “el dedo del César”, Qué nervios! En un mes todo se decide en Junta Nacional, ambos proyectos y todo se decretará.

Entonces mi equipo se reunirá y replantearemos nuestro proyecto, como sugirió, serviremos a el encargado de educación de la Junta Nacional. Gurudeva deseamos ser una rama de ASA. Y necesitamos un nuevo nombre para esta área, nos puede dar uno tan bonito como el anterior? Uno de los proyectos vigentes de mi área es la Escuela Dominical, Necesitamos asesoramiento constante. En cuanto las reuniones con Ud. Candra y LAD, puedo los sábados cualquier hora, y a partir de las 5 PM los lunes y jueves. Por favor Gurudeva denos su misericordia,  para poder asistir y tener su asociación.

Que Krsna lo traiga pronto a la tierra del Inca.

Su hija que lo adora:
