Urgente..... Empezando de nuevo!!!

8 years, 2 months ago by Amparo Hernandez Castillo in Personal Sadhana Reports

Todas las Glorias a Srila Prabhupada!!!!

Gurudeva por favor acepte Usted mis reverencias.

Gurudeva ha pasado mucho tiempo desde la ultima vez que le escribí,

ASA - Si, estamos pensando en que ha pasado con Vd!!

. . . lamento no haberle escrito antes pero siento mucha verguenza con usted por todas las cosas que han sucedido y en vez de avanzar voy para atras.

ASA - O.K. Pero luchando, no?   Puede escribir de sus luchas. E.g. "Maharaja estoy fumando pero manteniendo no fumar antes de 11AM".
 

Empezare por decirle que YO PERDI a los bebes que estaba esperando.

ASA - Ooooh!   Que lastima.    Pero Krsna esta en carga de cosas. Especialmente para devotos.  Posible fueron Yogis con solamente poco mas Karma y Krsna puede hacer esta arregla ser tomando Prasadam de su sangre y despues!   Ha ido a mejor sitio que Peru!

Desde diciembre del año pasado hablamos con Amala karuna despues de meses que no hablabamos para arreglar algo, pero es muy difícil ,ya no se puede, yo le hice muchas cosas.

Desde enero de este año vivo donde Amala o con el ??? me consiguió un lugar donde el vive, porque el lugar donde estaba yo ,era una cantina y me desórdene mucho.

Al principio nos levantamos temprano y cantábamos rondas luego ya no, así que los principios no se cumplian.

Leímos el Bhagavad Gita juntos por las noches ya terminamos y ahora estamos leyendo el Srimad Bhagavatam canto 1 capitulo 3,hemos aprendido versos .....yo he leído el Mahabharata, Sri Prema Bhakti Candrika, El terraplén de la separación y el Upadesamrta.

HpS - Super!

La vida ha transcurrido como una vida normal de familia ,aunque ya no lo somos,tomamos prasada juntos realizamos ekadasi,y yo la verdad cocino para todos porque ya es costumbre y por la asociación.

Ahora tratando de empezar de nuevo estoy levantandome a las 4:10 para ofeecer incienso y cantar rondas .
Tenemos una Tulasi y esta creciendo bien espero la misericordia y que siga asi.
Usted sabra que al templo no puedo entrar ,estuve yendo a Vrinda pero deje de ir, la verdad es que me di cuenta que no deseo ver a nadie y bueno Amala es mi mejor asociación ,me devolvió el gusto por las Rondas y la lectura,pido su bendición Gurudeva para poder seguir asi y no volver atras.
Estoy con mi hijo ,colecto con pan y trato de predicarle todo lo que puedo y que esta a mi alcance, darle prasadam etc,pero yo tengo aun mis apegos la coca cola,los chocolates y la musica,las películas, pero desde que empeze a leer ,deje de ver televisión, es que casi todo el tiempo que se puede Amala y yo leemos y hablamos mucho.
Gurudeva eso es lo que le puedo decir hasta ahora.

Se que no he hecho ni hago nada de lo que son sus ininstrucciones y aun asi me atrevo a pedirle que me de sus bendiciones para poder seguir así refugiada en la lectura y las rondas ....

Gurudeva ya no se si Krshna tenga algo preparado para mi,solo canto porque se es lo correcto y prefiero dejar que todo pase como tenga que pasar sin hacer planes.

Me despido de usted Gurudeva agradeciendo siempre la oportunidad que tuve de haberlo conocido y que tenerlo en mi camino.

Amparo H. Castillo.

HpS - Cartas mas cortas, mas frequentes. Estamos aqui!   La comunidad Monkey Warrior.  Nos vemos en Junio!!

Urgente carta de Akincana Prabhu

8 years, 2 months ago by Asta Sakhi Devi Dasi in Personal Sadhana Reports

Todas las Glorias a Srila Prabhupada.

Por favor reciba mis reverencias ante ud.

Querido Guru Maharaja, le escribo para informarle con tristeza la partida de un devoto en Guadalajara, Hari Vamsa Prabhu, quién fuese mi Siksa Guru, pues por su amable invitación comence a vivir en Nueva Nilacala Mandir, y fue así como por la Gracias de Srila Prabhupada pude conocerle a Ud. tenía un cancer avanzado (lo cual mantuvo en discreción absoluta), su partida fue cerca de las 2pm, rodeado de devotos cantando Hare Krsna tuve la fortuna de ponerle su última guirnalda, tulsi y kanti malas. Una vez más me pone Krishna como sirviente de ceremonia funebre. Como ud me ha dicho es parte de mi karma hablar con fantasmas... lo vi bailando durante el kirtan que hicimos en su funeral. Le suplico ore a Sri Jagannantha y Srila Prabhupada por el bienestar de su alma. Sentí la obligación de avisarle, pues se que Ud. apreciaba su servicio, estuvieron en su ceremonia como 10 jovenes, a quienes actualmente les predicaba. Agradecido eternamente con Ud.

Su siviente Akincana Krsna Das

HpS - No, foto aqui!!???     Dedicate next Sunday feast to him. Have his foto there there and offer first plate of Maha-prasadam to him Discuss his service and do Kirtan for him!

Photo!!

Thank you.

Dear Maharaja,

PAMHO AGTSP.

No we are not living on New Govardhan plantation. In October last year we took a mortgage on a house in Murwillumbah, 10 min drive from ISKCON. Snakes are currently looking for places to hide for their winter snooze. No, no catering at festivals. I'm studying computer science part-time, painting houses part-time and renovating our house in my spare time.

Looking forward to you visit!

Ys

Dhruva

HpS - Thank you!     We are still working on this!!   Is a challenge. If we go round the world it will be $2,000+.  So we are looking at Houston - India (Australia) round trip. Then later Boise (Hawaii) round trip.  We will let you know any progress!!

Urgent re your visit to Auburn/Sacto. Few ?'s

04/30/17  Haribol Esteemed Guru Maharaja!!  Please accept dandavats and Pranams    All Glories to Srila Prabhupada!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Plans for your visit proceeding.

**Home program at Govinda Priya Matajis and Shankaranand's in Sacramento planned for 6:30 pm Wed June 7th. (most will arrive at 7:30 pm) This will most likely be the best attended program.

**Home Program being planned for Radha-Gopinatha's home Thurs June 8th.

**Question re. June 8th:   I'm thinking there may be some who would like to have more "personal" and less-structured access to you during the daytime on the 8th.  I can word the Thursday the 8th. invitation as:   "Open House" from, say, 1 pm--ending with a program beginning at 6:30 pm  (most will arrive at 7:30 pm).   Or, it can be only from 1 pm to 6 pm, with no closing program Thurs. evening. What do prefer/  Your wishes?

**Most devotees here are householders.  Home programs during weekdays are generally poorly attended or begin late, with taking prasadam around 9:30 or 10 pm typical.  Hoping your visit will be an exception to this.  We will invite, Krsna will arrange.  Your visit may end up being mostly a working/resting trip.

**What are your current dietary requirements i.e  what do you wish to take and what time do you wish to take it?

**Or should I contact someone else to obtain this information?

**If it should be that programs don't actually begin until 7:30 pm, will that be too late for you?  If so, what beginning  time for the evening programs would you like me to list?

**Any other instructions, requirements, ideas or wishes Maharaja?

Thank You for giving us this opportunity to serve you!!

Your Servant,

Kalindi Devi Dasi

HpS - ASA - - Thank you. Any of the Professors from Sacramento State College will be available for interviews? We could also visit them on Friday morning, no? Even stop off in Davis on Friday?  The Capitola Corridor Train, Amtrak, departs at 12, 2 and 3.30PM.

Sounds like the best arrangement would be to announce: "Hanumatpresaka Swami (Prof. H. H. Robinson), Member of ISKCON Ministry of Education and North American Institute for Oriental and Classical Studies (NIOS) will be visiting Sacramento for two days. He will be presenting programs on Education in ISKCON, very dynamic and successful programs with Universities, National Museum of Peru and India on Psychology and the Sacred and generally anything you want to discuss about Krsna.

6.30PM - 7.30PM -- Informal and Personal Discussion,

7.30PM-8.30PM -- Education with ISKCON - Pre-natal, pre-school, primary, secondary, studying and teaching at the university levels.

For related information go to www.youtube.com and search with the Key-words, 'Psychology and the Sacred 2016'

Invite any interested people Krsna has sent to you.

Prasadam."

Then we can leave at 8.30PM, no?

There is a Light of the Bhagavata picture you could use for promo in our archives, www.jayarama.us/archives. Just look for the one starting Lob-32... It's ten MB so may take some time to download.

We are wating for news from Lokanatha Das about when to visit him and Berkeley, maybe go little early on Friday. The Amtrak is only $25. Comfortable and able to avoid any traffic hang-ups!

Hare Krsna x 25.

Organic fruit, carrots, milk, rice, split peas, oats, Prasadam.

AGTSP!

Thank you for updating the Guru-tattva file with Lavanga-mangala Devi Dasi's information and the onerous list of names from Manipura, Assam and Tripura!  You must go there with the Nirgata Devi Dasi ane meet them!

Everyone look at the list.

You can find the link in the Kapi Dhvaja.  Are there mistakes in your information?  There are some mistakes with the font.

O.K.    Annual Reports!!!!

Review of Gadi Das's Book

8 years, 2 months ago by hps in Special Category A

Hare Krsna, Prabhu,

AGTSP

paoho....

How are your spirits and material machine?

We are based in the Boro until 1 June then we are off to West Coast and Peru until 26th July.

We read and scanned your "A Collection...".  It was very interesting and informative but has covered so much territory that we could not get a precise handle on it to respond well.

We have kept it on our table and finally I would make this response:

Your thesis is: Why take Sannyasa when we already have the Bhagavata Dharma of Harinama.

I would respond that it is in the same line as getting married. If we are Suka-deva Goswami then we won't see naked girls when we pass the bathing Ghatta, but if we have some attachment, then Grhastha, Vanaprastha and Sannysas are excellent helps in accelerating the effects of Bhagavata Dharma. Srila Prabhupad and Srila Bh. Siddhanta followed this path. The two previous followed the Babbaji Vesa, kaupina kantha asritau, path, no?

 

Even if we have no attachment then Sannyasa, VAD, is still good for two reasons:

1. It is a good example for others.

2. It is just the most natural way for organizing the Sankirtan Party in the material world.

 

So, that is very satisfying essay for us.

Finally, think I got a clear perspective to offer you. See you soon?  Nrsmha-caturdasi??

You know this Purport, Lila, of Narada Muni and his Sannyasa? http://www.vedabase.com/en/sb/1/6/13
