Hare Krishna! Pamho, AGTSP!
Añadiendo a la carta anterior sobre educación, me olvidé invitar a todos los que puedan, a reunirnos por www.startmeeting.com el lunes a las 9.00 am hora Perú.
ID meeting: 992-055-489.
Ahi hemos venido hablado sobre pespectivas educativas. Bueno foro para conversar y plantear nuestras preocupaciones en el área educativa en ISKCON latinoamérica.
También para ver cómo podemos participar en el simposio de Seattle.

Hare Krsna!
AGTSP paoho. We are struggling with our rounds! I guess many of us are. We have so much flexibility to work here. Peace. Solitude, but also alone.
NGD just called. 5.30PM. He didn't even go to work today. That is BIG DEAL for a hospital. He is so hit by the allergy. We are much better, maybe our Yoga.
So we called Dr. Desai and we will go and walk with him. We discuss university life.
Answered the mail up to five days ago. Most of the day was mail and 30 minutes with Srivasa Pt. Das about Calendar and BhVai.
Texting to Anantarupa Das.
We had too much milk and sugar on Ekadasi but digested a lot of it.
Like Kunja-bihari Das we are learning about how to improve our Sadhana. We will become Paramhamsa!
O.K. Here we go!

HpS - Thank you. What are you doing now? Daily activities, projects?
Hare Krishna !!! All glories to Srila Prabhupada!! All glories to Guru Maharaj HpS!! And all glories...all glories....all glories to the Lettuce feet!!!
HpS - ASA -- Thank you! Romain Lettuce, Iceberg Lettuce!
So far..so good....except for the minor hiccups.....!! A local daily carried the news of opposing the construction of ISKCON temple at Kakching. All glories to the Seshanag resting blissfully inside the Bhoomi. Banamali Prabhu says we will continue with the work. We are all sparrows...desperately waiting for Garuda to notice us!!
Last Sunday, as we were going for Nagarkirtan, a mataji followed us and requested us to perform kirtan at her home. We did. Then we were invited to two more houses. We are invited for another house programme next sunday. Thank you so much Guru Maharaj for your mercy.
Aahhh....so relevant....that fish eating Japanese part!! The Japanese came as far up to Moirang,about 40kms from Imphal and they had to surrender to the Allied Forces after the Hiroshima bombings. Did they leave some of their DNA behind?? Why do our people love (eating) fish ...so much???
HpS - ASA - Interesting??
Now the Dharamsala part......now....now....are you doing some past life regression on me ??....hahahahaha
Then they came to a Dharmashala and it was . . . [Describe the Dharmashala, the Deities, people, building...activities]
Paintings...paintings......lots of them.....gold...liquid gold paintings...beautiful dances....so many symbols in their paintings...and yet I can't decipher them!! Does'nt even look like a Dharamshala......looks more like a meditation hall!!!
And the loud, sweet chants and hymns...could I ever make head or tail of those soul wrenching chants!!!
Lanky, bright faced, wrinkles...as old as time.....eyes so full of wisdom.....do they really belong to Homo Sapiens?? Am wondering....as they happily share their food with the monkeys around!!
Seems like they worship the Sun God.....with a kaleidoscope of colours merging into the rays of the sun.....
Just coming out of that trance.....hehehhehehe
I remain,
yes to the four regulative principles ...all my life,
Sarada Gaurangi DD
P.S. Sending some pics Guru Maharaj. Our Radha Krishnachandra on Ram Navami. Nrshimha on Nrshimha Caturdasi.The elderly couple who has generously donated the land is eclosed......the Bhoomi Puja....and The Prasadam......
HpS - After you (she or he or it) came to the Meditation Hall one of the Monks approached you and they asked: _______________
(If we keep this up we will surpass James Hilton. Wonderful fotos.)
Hare Krishna Gurudev,
Please accept my humble obeisances,
All glories to Srila Prabhupada,
Here we are struggling so much to balance real life with temporary life. Still we couldnt move to the rural community. House building almost killed us, it was 2 very intense years, but finally griha pravesh is scheduled for may 25th.
HpS - Thursday! Amavasya!!
So that will be a new phase in our life. Morning program everyday, living in a sattvic environment, surrounded by vaisnavas.
ASA - And mosquitos (HA HA HA!)
This last time it was very difficult for us (for whom it wasnt?) So many things to do!!
We still can not find the root of this passion mode (yes lust, but more detail) of doing so many things (father, fiance, iskcon member, junta administrativa, ayurvedic doctor, teaching at medschool and yoga course, leading food for life and book distribution) uff. One devotee the other day told me that he couldnt engage in one service cause he was doing so much, and i thought, but he is doing almost nothing, and then I realized that he knew his boundaries, his working capacity and how to balance, but i dont. I always do more than i can do and then i do it everything wrong or not in the best way.
HpS - At least you are beginning to realize that you are mad.
Last 2 months i was chanting like 6 rounds a day, fortunately since three days i regained 16r again. 4p pretty good.
Nrisimhadev mercy!!
So again, half an elephant!!
Looking for BG 6.16-17,
ASA -
Bg 6.16 — There is no possibility of one’s becoming a yogī, O Arjuna, if one eats too much or eats too little, sleeps too much or does not sleep enough.
Bg 6.17 — He who is regulated in his habits of eating, sleeping, recreation and work can mitigate all material pains by practicing the yoga system.
Your more than stupid apprentice,
Nikunja bihari das.
HpS - Keep working! Working! "One who does good my friend is never overcome by evil'. Seven rounds a day???? All your house work will pay off.
<big>AGTSP</big>
<big>My obeisances Maharaja, </big>
<big>How is your health? In what part of the world is he preaching now? </big>
<big>HpS - ASA -- "This body doesn't get diseases, this body IS a disease!" Our body, like and vehicle iss getting old. Our memories, eyes, teeth, respiration, hearing, are all diminishing, but by the mercy of Srila Prabhupada we are doing very, very well for our age!! Our intelligence is increasing!</big>
<big>I have not written because I am very self-demanding with myself, in his previous answer I give myself verses of the BG and the SB to read about my question of how to preach in my work, I still do not finish it, but every Time I assure myself more than The only way is to offer my activities to Krsna, to see all people as spiritual souls. Personally, a while ago I have not stopped singing my rounds, which always allows me to be mentally fixed and without anxiety, I hope to continue so whatever happens. </big>
<big>HpS - Yes, EVERYTHING will improve the fastests as you improve your Japa.</big>
<big>The Japa has become the most important point in my days, meditating on the Lotus Feet of the Lord And associating with very loving devotees. I must assume that I do not like being with some people since I have seen them and I have listened to criticize and offend hard others, even me with Abhimanyu, especially him many years ago until today, I feel that being with these people contaminates my Process, But Maharaja that is well? Or should I try to have the association of them?</big>
HPS - The details are in Upadesamrta. Especially Texts 4,5,6 talks about distinguishing different types of devotees and adjusting our association with them. Don't listen to stupid ideas from Karmis, Vikarmis expect as will help them advance in spiritual life. That even means trying help them advance in the modes from ignorance to goodness, to pantheism etc. You will lean! Krsna will help!
<big>Within me I respect them, I want Krsna to keep them always in service, but I do not want to fall into an offense Since I was little I realized that I have a capacity, which within psychology is called "realizing" be aware of what makes us bad and be able to change it. I do not want to sound a little humble, but I think I've come a long way since I did not know Krsna and the devotees until now. Every day I am aware of trying not to criticize and tolerate more. Please give me your blessings to keep moving forward, I want to return home in this life, I want to be a good devotee and keep Krsna in your service.</big>
<big>HpS - ASA -- Hare Krsna!!!</big>
<big>On the other hand Maharaja, I have some questions about the worship of deities. In our home we have an altar, this Jagannath, Baladeva and Subhadra, Sri Sri Goura Nitay, Nrsimhadev and a Shiva Lingam given us by devotees. I can not worship them without being initiated?</big>
HpS - It is not exactly "worship", Arcanama. It is more like "Pada-sevanam", which is inspired by Prabhupada. Give them all the love you can, clean, punctual service and then add rituals and paraphernalia as practical.
<big>Abhimanyu has told me to do a simple worship and gradually learn the most complex, what do you think of it? What instruction can you give me? I want to worship the Lord in the most appropriate way, with the necessary standard.</big>
<big>HpS - Like we say above. Clean, regular timings for sevice, then details.</big>
<big>Finally, to tell you that a while ago I had two dreams, I'm not used to delivering mystical interpretations to everything, but now I do and I want to share with you. In a dream we were the devotees at a party, it was a field place, very green, you would come and I was giving you my obeisances, had a spiritual name and was his disciple, as are dreams, without chronology and temporality, at the same time I knew that that could not be, because my name is Ma. Soledad and I'm not yet started. But my dream showed me something else. The second dream a couple of weeks ago, it was after a therapy that Mataji Guru Govinda DD made me with yantras, that night I dreamed of Shiva and they murmured his name "Hanuman Presaka Swami" </big>
<big>The world of dreams is incredible and a little crazy, but what do you think? I have a hard time writing this kind of thing, but because I know that many devotees read it, but I know I'm not the only one.</big>
<big>HPS - No, is nice. I don't know the meaning of the dreams, but I have heard that Srila Prabhupada said that dreams of Krsna and Spiritual Master and then I guess His devotees, ISKCON, are not ordinary dreams. Somtimes they are chances for us to deal with gross things that we have to adjust in our Karma without having to take the necessary gross bodies. So, I don't know any meaning!</big>
<big>Please excuse the length of this letter, and for asking so many things, I am just trying to move forward by being aware of how neophyte I am. I thank you infinitely for your time in helping us, in serving so much! My bows to His Lotus Feet Maharaja. </big>
<big>HpS - Nice letter! Five more people will get the same questions answered now without having to write because it is here in the Blog!</big>
<big>P.D: I send you pictures of our deities below </big>(they are not really ours, we are theirs ...)
ASA - Very nice! Try to get nice altar for them. So relative will give you a nice book case or other furniture!
