Akincana Krsna das

HpS - ASA -- Super!   Jaya, Jagannatha! Esperando tocando la corazon de muchos!   El Alcalde!

Nos vemos 21st Junio. We will make a movie?  Gifts, photo, USB, for Peru, Santiago?

PAMHO!!

Thank you so very much of your letters.

It's sometimes a test of faith, huh, ...........Not too much spare time now, for I engaged in putting up again the 3d-printer, extruding one (watching for powder one, if it could be part of the service, seva).

Still extruder , even though in library is same kind of here, must be fixed. Queue is almost one month long. I have 3d files for very nice version of  Tesla turbine, it is something extraordinary, even though history hasn't treated this invention well, as haven't many of his inventions.

It is quite similar, in my thought, that is Victor Schauberger's implosion effect, in which he says whole nature works, not in explosion. This is still even hair raising, what Bhaktisiddhanta Saraswati said about the Vedic Planetarium. 4 stories. movin............. star wars... no.. hehe.... but yes... it means antigravity (at least finally). I know some examples how technically some more hostile forces have made them. Schauberger was finally in 1935 persuaded by one such force to make the box with the fire inside, from vyaamanika shastra.

And I know how your Highness's [My Holiness, Ja, Ja!] own country has made them, not exactly but. It is 3 machines in triangular shaped, 72 meters one side, craft. The machines are mercury whirl type machines(20.000 or some times in a minute), and would cause 88% antigravity.

HpS - ASA -- We had a copy of D. N. Shukla's, "Vastu" 1 & 2, and I remember he mentioned them not so much from the technical aspect but from the social significance. The way he described it was as something like the Ferris Wheel and the 1893 Chicago World Exhibition. The King with family would sit in it and it would go round slowly in  circle and then rise into the air and then come down and everyone would watch and applaud. Then the King and the Family would go and judge the Giant Pumpkin Competition and the rest of society would try it.

Dr. Sukla's comment was in terms of Vedic India had all these things but they considered them toys. Technology was for simple living and high thinking.

The problem usually, if this all is a magnet type craft, is that it would make the time go slower in the craft and in the vicinity of it. That is the theory. But actually Tesla knew still more, for his disciple Ott made UFOs flying with gems and first electricity, but finally even with light, big big crystal and light, says his disciple Ralph Ring, who I tried to contact. With no result still.

Personally..... I guess, Maharaja. I just have to learn to remember right. Thank you so much. So very much of your patience. The green colour. I mean was the patience...     4 stories.... wow.............      everything can be arranged. That's for sure :) Maharaja :). yellow.  To warm it up, I engage us, the people, to do Tesla Turbines and Tesla valvulars with 3d-printers,,,,,valves with no moving parts.......! 

As attachments Tesla Ifo picture (Ott too with real photos, that one), with no own power source, but the source he thought would have been the towers similar to the Wardencliffe tower. But that would still have been too easily centralized power, is my still my thought, at least in present days. But what do I know about these... a little, I know about power. Only my own hate.... but Maharaja I am excited... we are excited. What functions there is Krishna ......   such a nice watch Prabhupada wears.

HpS - Two watches, no???

P.S. It is in Gremlings movie that when they eat first time they develop from those little furry Gismos to the real GREMLINGS,,  hahaha. yes. many thoughts about technology it brings. And that couldn't be but Krishna as paramaatma who gave these signs. Is what I can see from here...   Prabhupada is so great, as are his watches too :) :) :) I have sometimes difficulties to remember though that it is all Lord Caitanya's mercy, so I wanted to participate in culture making too, by a puppetry, and the play is selected to take away the bad dreams. All glories to Lord Caitanya, and Prabhupada. HK

HpS - ASA -- Thank you.

Leave Houston 3PM, 27th September, arrive Delhi like 10.45PM the next day.

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

Visit Kolkatta, Vraja, Ujjain (GBC Meetings), Mumbai...??

!! AUSTRALIA (for Ten Days) - Just need a round trip ticket, Mate!!

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

Oink!   HAre Krsna!

We offered orange juice, raisins with walnuts, and then boiled carrots and potatoes with salt and butter to Lord Nrsmhadeva.

Last night was program at NGD.  Every Firday when they are there and no one is too sick. Only about 8-people came because many had to go to a funeral.

Seems to us that our joints get stiff from one week or two of not dancing, but given a hint, everyone wants to send the Holy Name deep into them.  Hope it reaches the heart too, soon.

---

Next week and the week after the following week NGD and family will be in Chicago and at the Kirtan mela. We will be ALONE!!!!

Maybe some one will invite us too tea.

Workshop this morning was so nice.   Getting practical work done.

No contact with RGD for several days. Several projects floundering.

You can see the letter for Seattle.

Now buy India ticket!  Abhirama, Yugala, CmDD ... LAD... Anandamaya...    Ananda vardana ...  Bhadra gopal.... everyone should go to India, Bharata!

Hare Krishna Guru Maharaja,

Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada.

First of all, thank you very much for your letter, and sorry for answering so late, but from 27th april to 1th may, I have been with Yadunandana Swami Maharaja in Avila, to attend the bi-annually meeting of "Encuentro Iberico de Yoga" organized by the portuguese yoga association, and I didn't check the email this days. It has been a very nice experience.

HpS - Jaya!   Preaching to Maitreya Muni et al.

Talking about the link "understanding about Diksa guru", I have read it completely and I accept it. I only have one question, the next day of the annual report is 13th January 2018?

HpS - ASA -- No, Dec. 19th. "Our" Vysapapuja Day. Always day before Disappearance of Jiva Goswami. We will put notice in the Blog and hope that we get lots of other reports even before that.

Currently I keep on following all the principles and chanting the 16 rounds (but still not of good cuality [quality], I hope it will change in future) and attending Mangala arati, and morning program in Nueva Vraja Mandala, and will be here until 11th May to attend GBC meeting (following the request of Yadunandana Swami), then will come back to Torrevieja (Alicante) and will come back to Nueva Vraja Mandala at the beginning of July till the end of July. This weekend I'll start Bhakti Sastri course with Yadunandana Swami.

On the other hand, of course I would like to have a closer contact with you, not only formally for Diksa, so I would like to ask about the posibilities of visiting you where ever you are (USA, Peru, India) in future and maybe spend some time in an Ashrama doing seva (as I'm doing in Nueva Vraja Mandala).

ASA - If you look at the Calendar in the Kapi Dhvaja you can see our program and start to think about plans to join with us. Of course, we hope to get to Spain as soon as possible. Then we can all be together on the transcendental plane.

Please accept my humble obeisances.

Bhaktin Maria

ASA - Nice photos!   More and more interest in Yoga.

Hare Krsna Dear Maharaja.

PAMHO. AGTSP!

I hope your body is in good health.

HpS - ASA -- Ha!    HA!    HA R E!     This body IS a disease, but now is manageable for Sankirtan!    Thank you.  Hope yours and your families also.

I share the following concerns with you if you can give me your generous opinion,

1.-We are all told to sing 16 enthusiastic and sincere rounds. I comment this to a devotee (initiated) by encouraging her to sing his rounds, But he told me: I do not feel encouraged to sing, I have done it as an obligation but I feel that this is not right, one must sing of his own free will and not feel obligated. Before leaving, the devotee told me that he read the SBG and that he liked it better than singing japa. I did not say more to disturb him, I just asked him to try to sing 2 to 3 rounds.

HpS - Child does not like to go to school. Wants to play, but parents and teachers oblige him. NOI 7. Of course, this can be done in such a way that it is great fun, but usually some element of fear or greed is pushing us to chant our rounds in the beginning.

This made me think the following: In life many times we do things by obligation if we want something we are forced to perform an action to get it by just thinking or meditating we will not get it (unless it is krsna). Even chanting japa is part of the process of meditating on Krsna.

On the other hand, there are psychological tendencies and pedagogues that say that things should not be forced to do so but should be encouraged to do so, however in Eastern cultures (China, Japan, Korea). It is said that: Discipline precedes the intelligence and for this reason, the discipline was given much importance; Differentiated what is "your will" with "what is your duty".

ASA - Again NOI 7 says so much about this, no?   In sports it is the same thing. We force ourselves to practice believing it will become fun later.

I am not an expert in psychology but I think that many things are being confused and some are taking new trends to justify their lack of discipline, I see that there is a tendency to skip or to obviate the processes and call that spontaneous service.

I do not know what the middle term is here, would there be a psychological damage to say that the rounds are obligatory for an initiated devotee? (Also looking for ways to lift their enthusiasm).

HpS - ASA - Prabhupada says that artificial repression can be worse than the disease, but...   we don't force anybody to become initiated. That is a voluntary thing. Of course, ISKCON institution is not perfect, and there may be force in certain social or subtle ways, but seems that any sincere person can avoid that and then will be making their own choice if they want to chant 16 rounds for the rest of their life.
Even then you can stop and accept the reactions of breaking your promise. It is very clear. NOI 7 -8. So many places, Learning Piano, Tennis, natural attraction usually comes from some formal practice.

2.- At the moment I see a great increase of feminism in the society (there are also cases in Iskcon), the women have obtained many things that they consider freedom and now they want more and more, but also have arisen negative things of all this that do not want to see or to admit.

Particularly I do not like to speak of machismo or feminism, for me it is to identify me more with the body, however I have seen and I see the dangerous thing of not taking care of the "psychology" of the woman and of some way it is notorious the problems that also are being generated in ISKCON.

I think that perhaps these issues should be addressed not only at the GBC level but at the level of Spiritual Masters.

HpS - ASA -- Yes, but there is so much in the SB about this, no?   Right in the begnning we see several points about feminine mentality of Draupadi when Asvattama kills her sons. Of course, The Battle of the Sexes goes on forever, Radharani and Her friends, versus Krsna and His Friends. So, it is also very much fun and sarisfying dealing with problems in terms of properly understanding feminine and masculine needs of the person and their body.

Any items in specific about this??

Sri Nrsimhadeva protect you.

HpS - ASA --- Thank you very much!!    Hope you all can join the Seattle Conference with lots of benefit.
