sankirtana

8 years, 1 month ago by Nanuk in Personal Sadhana Reports

PAMHO! Maharaja, it seems so hard to chant the rounds now in the morning. I have had to hang out with little bit karmic musicians to get my logic x/native instruments Komplete Ultimate studio package with the best instruments (almost) for the piano roll or the sequencer. I also have started planning a little water thing to the puppetry tent (black), between the audience and stage, more like in the vedic theater which is situated completely on an island, and audience onn the shore, and the plays are as realistic as news would be. You told me to have sankirtana, sankirtana, sankirtana with this christian guy I told you, who I claimed before having odd sexual thinking, and it was so hard. But now he has started to tell me more things and would like to sing almost everyday, and it seems to really help, because he has started to crumble.. :) to break I mean. Thanks also to his wife. He has been an actor younger in summer theater and has a wild imagination. But his ways of life. He tells everybody that he has panic disorder and he has used different drugs, especially alcohol. But for only me he has also told that he has some major problems with her wife. He attacked for a half of year me, because I told him about regulating sex life also in married life. But he crumbles now, hahaha. So, the thing is, he told me that the major problem in his life is: that he needs everyday sex when in a relationship, but claims not needing so much if not in relationship. And his wife don't want it at all so much.

HpS - ASA -- Maybe he could become a pigeon.

But they are married. But he still defends the christian way.... having sex every single day, and if partner declines, then doing it himself. haha I wonder wherefrom his panic disorder comes from ;) ;) . And I claim that we all do have panic disorder. It's healthy. I have tried to tell him where it comes from, and he is starting to go in pieces which is good, he is after all, quite sincere. And has gone AA also. But he was just a year ago a major meat eater and preaching that he don't eat but meat.

ASA - Carnivorous, Pigeon.

And now he is fully in Krishna consciousness, tries to be. Prabhupada starts to make influence to him. His short biography. This is just odd, when he tries to be a friend, just like a dog, when I have applied in my life, Canakya Pandita's teaching: A bad friend is just a bad friend, but a good enemy is much better. Beacause I have artistic projects. He can go now also once a week to Bhrigu Pada's place (professor in comparative religion), where I don't go, because this I P dasa, who uses opiates and has at least 2 rape cases which people speaks about in this city, and I reported it with a back up from Mahabala (one bhakta) to temple. So I don't want to see the one I spoke. It seems hipocritical anyway. But my question is, how many times sankirtana a week?

HpS - Sankirtan means we join together, team players, with individual Shakti, to glorify Krsna, glorify the Lion, Ocean, Mt. Meru (BG 10). So it should be all the time, but sometime we have to sleep and eat.

I have some major artistic project and I know much better musicians, but I think Maharaja, this time it comes from heart, but there is all those polluting things. It seems it's, well at least he don't drink so very much no more. For his panic disorder only some drinks. And his wife only smokes, and he started too and I have been saying that it's much better. It's funny how these people with all their problems still have so much sincerity, but it comes from great distress..... Hare Krishna P.S. The modern intelligence seem to be many times almost completely against the rasa of the Krishna consciousness. Am I right, because I like also intelligent people. My ex partner Nitai Priya Devi Dasi was like that.....intelligent...

HpS - ASA -- Some else likes Prasadam distribution, no?  Macaroni and corn on the cob at 9 o'clock at night! Bufalos of Braja, Ki Ja!   Ectomorphic Brahmanas of Braja, Ki Jai!  Why not discuss these perverted deads in a more general sense because this is Blog with a lot of B'caris reading it. Details sometimes are important to wake us up, no?
Thank you so much for your association.

Chakras

8 years, 1 month ago by Nanuk in Special Category A

Please accept my humble obeisances, Maharaja! About to what chakra's Tesla converter reaches. This is what I think-: the lowest frequencies would affect the root chakra and higher frequencies, I would like to think to the crown chakra, but vedic knowledge would in my view support the thought that the last two chakras would not be in material world, and not ether, in that scenario. I'm just thinking why else the planets would have same numeric quantities and so on... as the chakras ........

Hare Krishna . May Srila Prabhupada be glorified all around the world

HpS - When the top Chakra is described as Brahma randra we are thinking that it is refering to Brahma loka within this material world.  Heart chakra is nice, no?  This Earth level which is very nice for spiritual progress. Brahmaloka is very good for playing chess in four dimensions.

Reporte Govardhan Das, Marzo 17

Hare Krishna Dear Gurudeva, AGTSP, PAMHO __0_

HpS - ASA -- Hare Krsna, Govardhana Das.  Es bien raro. Inmediatamente antes de su carta es carta de Amala!   Su ciudadano.

Como esta!!  Como esta el Capital del Empiro!  Vamos a Ingles. Utiliza www.translate.google.com.

Desando que se encuentre bien de Salud, le envío mi reporte personal, seguimos trabajando en Puerto Maldonado, nuestro contrato es de 6 meses, viajamos cada 15 días a Cusco, y nos reportamos a nuestra autoridad y devotos, nos comprometimos con las clases de domingo los días que estaremos en Cusco.

HpS - Y la familia!!!?

Aquí en Puerto vive un devoto, Govinda das, discipulo de SS Pralahdananda Swami. nos estamos asociando con él y quedamos en juntarnos  los miércoles para lectura del BG, como su familia está aquí,

HPS - SUper!    GOvardhana Das, the traveling Brahmana preacher.

...está haciendo muchos planes (programas) y esperamos ayudar en algo. Nuestro sadana está mejorando, nos estamos levantando más temprano y tratamos de terminar nuestras rondas antes de salir a la calle, entramos al trabajo a las 7:00 a.m.

HpS - Su salud, su trabajo, su predica TODO va a mejor en la manera mas fuerte si mejorar su Japa. Claro temprano es casi guarantizado mejor.

La familia está bien [o. k. respuesta], Nilacandra está iniciando la primaria en el colegio Salecianos (Don Bosco), y Vrisabanu nandani sigue en kinder y B. Ayda está trabajando, la comunicación es muy buena con ellos, todos los días hablamos por telefóno y video llamadas por Whapsap, estamos muy bien, por la misericordia de Sri Krishna.

HpS - Claro, todos estos son robots. No somos estos cuerpos. En el futuro vamos a dejar para siempre estas cuerpos, pero son buena media renovar nuestra cuerpo, vida, real!

Estamos mejorando mucho,  la idea es hacer programas aquí en Puerto con Govinda das, no solo debemos hacer actividades fruitivas, prédica, ya le estemos comentando sobre como vamos, lo que pensamos hacer en Cusco lo podemos hacer aquí también, la idea es estar activos en Servicio Devocional. 

Quisiera compartir algo personal, en estas últimas semanas ha sido frecuente verlo en mis sueños, sentado en la Vyasana del Templo de Cusco, lo reverencio, y esos días me inspira mucho para cantar mis rondas, es una gran misericordia para alguien tan caido como yo.

ASA - Hansadutta Swami nos dijo qu Prabhupada dijo que el guru no haz nada especial: Da clases, dirigir Kirtan, pero por medio de El, El Paramatma hace cosas fuertes. Convierta en Guru!

Dear Gurudeva, muchás gracias por su tiempo, estamos pidiendo al Señor Nrishimha que siempre lo proteja, por favor denos su misericordia para estar siempre iluminados y estar siempre en servicio hacia UD. Que la Misericordia de Sri Krihna se derrame siempre sobre UD.

Hare Krishna Dear Gurumaharaja

HpS - ASA -- Nos vemos en unos semanas.

Jaya Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu

Jaya Srila Prabhupada

 Beloved Guru Maharaja, please accept my humble obeisances .

I do not [know] if You received my previous letter,  this is a new [one], this is a new stage in my life, and continuing with my sadhana.

HpS - Again, we couldn't answer all the letters while traveling in India!  We are somewhat lazy.

I am almost ending up [finishing] with outstanding debts, at least of this life, as You know, I was banned from  entering the temple of Iskcon Cusco in June of last year, I have taken refuge all this time reading and singing japa, my parents are elderly, but they have resourses to maintain the rest of  their lives, my only daughter Radha Krsna leads an independant life, or as You once  told me, Krsna takes over, and gave me the example of Your life and Peter.

My Prabhu, I beg You from the  depthts of my heart bless me so I may be able to continue advancing in Krsna consciousness,  many things have  happened in this time, I would to live in a temple again, if possible in India.

Gurudeva, You are coming to Peru and I am crazy to see You soon, and  take dDarsana and receive instructions. I have read the Mana Siksa, Harinama Citamani and "El terraplen de la separacion" of Srila Goura Govinda Swami, and  am finishing reading the Adi lila of Sri Caitanya Caritamrita, all of this only by Your merci.

I was thinking about my favourite verse, maybe tavaivasmi tavaivasmi, na jivami ... but I reached the conclusion my favourite verse is your pranam, Nama om visnu padaya...   Hanumatpresaka Swamin iti namine. Because You are the manifestation of Krsna on earth.

Always praying for your mercy, your useless servant. 

amalakaruna das.

HpS - How are the Four(teen) regulative principles?  Have any Krsna conscious association?  Relations with your recent wife, who had cancer? We will be in Cusco for some time as now planned?
What happened to your ENORMOUS deities of Jagat Bandhu!?   Paramadvaiti Swami????

My name is María de los Ángeles, from Iskcon Santiago, Chile, I am writing to tell you a little about what I feel and what I have been doing during this last time, as I said in my previous letter, I remain enthusiastic in my service. Garlands for your Lordships Sri Sri Gaura Nitay. I feel very fortunate to have such beautiful service.

I must add that by blessings of Krishna and devotees it will almost be a month and a half that I am living in the temple, it has been a magnificent and extremely inspiring experience for me, every day take darshan of the deity, have association of Great devotees, feel support and concern for me, from older devotees, I feel happy.

ASA - Jaya!

 I am reading the teachings of Caitanya Mahaprabhu as you suggested to me through your instruction, it is an extremely powerful book.

I try to strive to be more sincere day by day, concentrate on services, always think about Radha Krishna and his servants, I am very happy when I knew that it [you] will be at the end of June here Krishna.

Dear Maharaja: 

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

This is the second time I write, the first time I didn't receive an answer, so here a copy of that letter.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Dear Maharaja:    
How are you?!  
This is the first time I write. I´m Carol, from Buenos Aires, Argentina. I'm 25 years old, I'm dressmaker.
I have many questions, but I’m going to leave them to another opportunity. The main cause for this letter is to telling you about a delicate situation that I´m going through, because of this reason I need your wisdom.
A friend is very ill, she is going to leave the body soon, during this illness, I asked myself: How would I live if I had short time?
So I said myself, I would chant Hare Krishna everyday, I would spend time with devotees, I would eat a lot of prasadam. In that time I wasn´t chanting 16 rounds neither going to the temple regularly.
Then another question appeared: why would I wait to the end to live like this? I can do it now.
Now i´m chanting 16 rounds, following the four principles, and doing service every time I have the chance.
My association got better, I made awesome friends who help me so much in my spiritual path, my life is sweeter, but I still having sadness for losing a beloved friend, I can´t explain how much I love her nor the pain that makes me feel.
I don´t know how to deal with this and I need a guide. 
I promise to write about prettier things soon.

HpS - ASA --- Thank you for your letter. The one that did not get a response probably came while we were traveling in India.
We just got back from traveling in Spain so letters are also a little delayed because of that also.

We also lose the association of people we like. We always give the example of one comment that we heard from Srila Prabhupada. Maybe it is like 1925. Your father is going to go from your home in San Francisco to work in China for 15-months. It is a very lucrative and important work. Everyone goes down to the big steam ship to say good bye. You and your brothers and sisters, mother, aunts, uncles, cousins...  are all there.  Of course, you feel separation, but it does not mean that there will not be letters, phone calls and eventually you will meet again with many presents exchange, many prizes that you won to show your daddy etc.

Losing a friend is a good lesson. Do you really want to get closer to your friend?  Then you are going to have to get out of this superficial view of life. Death tells you that, "Learn how to love people, not just their bodies and things".

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I'm happily doing service, I'm going to Harinama every Friday, and to the Temple's Kitchen on Sunday. I really enjoy it.
I was thinking I always dreamt about love, at the beginning I only had a romantic idea about that, I think the society's concept of love is wrong. Now for Srila Prabhupada's mercy I know love is service, is on our eternal relationship with Krishna.
I read that Lord Krishna only can be conquered by devotees's love, and at the same time the devotees can be conquered by Krishna's love. I want to be conquered for him in such way that I can't think in anyone else, can you help me with that?

HpS - ASA -- By directing you to our Guru, Srila Prabhupada...   Chant your rounds for him.


Thanks Maharaja for your mercy
To serve you
Bhaktin Carol

ASA - So nice to meet you. Send pictures!
