LAD Report No really urgente

8 years, 3 months ago by laksmana-agraja in Personal Sadhana Reports

Hare Krishna, dear Gurumaharaja, Pamho, AGTSP

I wrote you before, but I guess you were and are very busy.

HpS - ASA --- Was it over two weeks ago?  We have answered all the letters within two weeks, and this one said, not so Urgent so we would have got to it tomorrow. We are busy, but also lazy.

So, just to inform that I'm finishing my 10 days Cuzco educational tour.

Five students in Bhakta program, some Communications and Conflicts Resolution Seminar. Some Bhakti vaibhava and Bhakti sastri.

M. Goura gaddhadara is doing pujari and studying english. She is doing very well as always. Send regards.

I hope I can continue my service in this area with your blessings.

This is my ekadasi report. I'll do it regulary.

Thanks for your support.

Your servant,

LAD

HpS - We were wondering about you, very much. If we chant good rounds we get sufficient intelligence to do inspired service!
Please send us more news.

Chat during the FMP!

More news!   More news...  How will you accomplish the mission of Lord Caitanya?   You are still doing these Bh.Sastri, Bh.Vaibhava programs with Nimsar suspended? Details?

VIAJE A ESPAÑA

8 years, 3 months ago by jayanta in Calendar Development

Querido Gurudev: Pamho. TgSP

Ya quedan pocos dias para su visita. Lo mas probable es que yo vaya a NVM el dia 5 por la mañana; así el dia 6 podremos ir a la Universidad desde allí. El Harinam, si Dios quiere, será el viernes por la tarde de 6,30 a 8,30. Posiblemente puedan venir algunos devotos de NVM.

La información detallada del Nama Hattha no se sabrá hasta que no sepamos el estado del tiempo. Si hace un dia muy bueno lo haremos al aire libre (posiblemente en el rio como la vez anterior) y si hace mal tiempo o frio lo haremos en mi casa. Esos detalles no cambian mucho. Lo importante es que los devotos sepan que se va  ha hacer un nama hatha y el dia y hora.

Espero que pronto podamos vernos y que su viaje sea mas agradable que la última vez que vino a España.

Su sirviente

Jayanta das

HpS - ASA - Jaya!  Sadu sanga, sadhu sanga, sarva sastra koi....  Solamente por momento de asociacion de devotos uno puede lograr el mas gran exito de la vida.

DTC 24(Fr)

8 years, 3 months ago by hps in DTC

Hare Krsna, Dudes and Dudins!
We are here in Murphy's Boro with HpSwami et al.

. . . Like next week, we head for Atlanta and Spain.

We just got all the mail caught up!!   No letters older than 2-days waiting [!],  but,  now we will go traveling, so again we will only be answering URGENT letters during that time . . . regular stuff, like BOISE KIDS.

That's April 1-12th.  Look at the Calendar in the Kapi dhvaja.

How are you?  How is your health?  Where are you?

These are all pretty strange questions in some since, no, because we are not these bodies, anymore than we are the characters in the movie we are watching.

Of course, once we become devotees, we get more or less control over our puppets. We can use them to preach to each other and others.

             <img alt="devil" height="23" src="http://hps.monkeywarrior.com/sites/all/libraries/ckeditor/plugins/smiley/images/devil_smile.png" title="devil" width="23" /> - "Hello, I am the Evil One".

                <img alt="cool" height="23" src="http://hps.monkeywarrior.com/sites/all/libraries/ckeditor/plugins/smiley/images/shades_smile.png" title="cool" width="23" /> - "Oh, I am the Teacher".

THERE IS ONLY ONE PURPOSE IN LIFE: BE HAPPY!     [Prabhupada told this to Jayananda Das].

         Hari Bolo!!! 

But we cannot be happy without our friend:   K R S N A !      Forget the Yamaraja and Maha-visnu job, sometimes!
Go on Sankirtan with Lord Nityananda. Hide behind Him when Jagai and Madhai come down the street.

            Now we will chant HK and develop our Calendar.    Tonight we will drive our 'new', year 2000 Mercedes, to Amit's house, about 20-miles away and hope the wheels don't fall off. We will have an Evening Program and talk about how he can take charge of NIOS. He's a Doctor. His father, Madhava Das, was initiated by H. H. Gopal Krsna Goswami (as I remember), his good wife is PhD in chemisty.

                      Tomorrow is TLC.

We will write some more about the "Seattle Symposium" and wait in great expectation for the news from Sattva that BNP has signed the agreement to co-sponsor "Art and the Sacred" in 2018. The minute that happens we can contact the Ambasador, ICCR, Maha-prabhu in Uraguay.

Maybe we will be able to read Hari-nama Cintamani and the Introduction to Jung's Red Book, write a Bhagavata commentary with RRD and NGD for publication.

Maybe we can get into a good dialog with the Jesuits in Peru! Maybe...   {Piggy: Maybe you can get your rounds done today. (TB: Oh, yeah!  Gotta do that too!)}  

Shelter request

8 years, 3 months ago by mercurio3 in Personal Sadhana Reports

All glories to srila prabhupada!
All glories to sri sri guru and gauranga!

Jay Maharaj! How are you? How is your health?

HpS - ASA -- Almost every letter asks: 1) Where are you?, 2) What are you doing?  3) How is your health. We are a little bit naseaus, our Inguinal Ligaments are burning a little etc because of our life in the modes of passion and ignorance a little bit. We are fighting to become perfect, but even to death we will be in the middle of these modes, especially if we are preaching. NOI-6, no?
Hare Krsna, Hare Krsna!   How is your health?

Our host, NGD strained his knee just while walking but it seems to be healing. His good wife has to go in for kidney surgery today.

I'm writting you because after a few years I realized that you are my Gurudev and would like to ask you for shelter.

HpS -  What about Krsna!!??  Prabhupada??  http://www.vedabase.com/en/sb/8/24/53 is so nice.  I guess that is some of the shelter we can give, giving some nice stuff to read about Guru. That whole chapter is worth reading.

Also would like to ask you for your blessings for a mental health issue Im dealing with and to quit smoking. Im following all the other principles thanks to krishna.

sincerely,
Federico

HpS - God bless you, Hare Krsna!!   Tell us what you think about that verse and chapter.

Nitya Kisori reportandose

8 years, 3 months ago by b.Natalia Molina in Personal Sadhana Reports

Querido Gurudeva,
Acepte por favor mis humildes reverencias, todas las glorias a Srila Prabhupada

Primero, estoy viva. En Lima trabajando. Terminé un curso de reposteria y pasteleria de un año, ahora puedo hacer postres más bonitos para Krsna, aunque aun falta práctica.

HpS - ASA -- Super. There is a devota in Oregon. Our God-sister, Maha-bhagavata Devi Dasi. She was one of the biggest collectors in ISKCON. Very nice. She started making cakes for weddings, birthdays etc. and very quickly she had more clients than she could handle. Use you customers as your salesmen. Give them printed stuff so they can give it to others who want to know about your service. Give them small free cake for every big order they give you. Preach. 

Estoy bien, siento que desde el corazón Krsna me está ayudando para tener una mejor actitud frente a la vida, y muchos problemas materiales se han disipado sólo gracias a una mejor inteligencia. He tenido algunas pruebas en el "amor", en las que falle 40%, pero creo que aprendí mucho y mejoré, reflexioné, y crecí. Ahora tengo una mejor perspectiva, más madura, menos egoista. Quisiera que esa area de mi vida tomara un rumbo que beneficie mi vida espiritual. 

ASA - Romeo y Juliet, Draupadi and Arjuna, Kunti and the Sun God!

En mi trabajo, trato de trabajar con buena actitud, con desapego, como deber, hablo de Krsna o temas espirituales cada vez que puedo y trato de tener un buen caracter, lo más ejemplar posible, aunque a veces fallo, pero trato de aprender y corregir. Mis amigos les interesa las cosas que les comento de Krsna, suelo tener muy buenas conversaciones, y aunque no se vuelven devotos, creo que logramos reflexionar de manera significativa sobre temas sensibles y relevantes. Trato de darles a los demás una perspectiva distinta de la que están acostumbrados a escuchar, inspirandome en las enseñanza de CK. 

HpS - Don't desire anything else!   This alone will mature into perfection. If we can go out on other inds of Sankirtan also, that is also very nice!

Trato de buscar inspiración y refugio en Krsna cada día, cantando Sus nombres, canciones, mis Deidades (Jagannath y Gaura Nitay), en mis amigos devotos, en los libros de Prabhupada (SB canto 3 ahora), oración y introspección, reflexión, buscando inteligencia que coincida con las enseñanza de Krsna. Trato que CK no sea una imposición a mi mente, sino busco aquellas cosas que atraen mi corazón naturalmente.

HpS - This is very nice in the main, like NOI-8, but also in our stage, NOI-7: Take some of the bitter sugar.

Aunque cada vez valoro más el trabajo regulado, la constancia y determinación de hacer algo que uno no "desea" 100%. PERO... Aun no canto mis rondas regularmente. Eso es terrible. Me cuesta mucho regularme, aunque veo cada vez con más claridad que sin seguir mis votos cómo quiero llegar a Krsna? cómo tendré verdadera buena inteligenica? Cómo haré algo que valga la pena? Me satisfago con reflexionar y estar en mi mente pensando de Krsna, pero me da miedo no llegar a ningun sitio. Veo en mi corazón mis apegos y trato de tener una actitud cada vez más madura con respecto a mis apegos, buscando refugio, pidiendo buena inteligencia, orando. Quisiera que mis apegos se transformarán en un rumbo para ofrecer algún servicio valioso a Krsna, un servicio que me comprometa seriamente y a largo plazo. Tengo esa esperanza. Para que CK y los apegos de mi corazón no sean dos cosas separadas, sino que pueda poner al servicio de Krsna mis apegos y hacerlos utiles. Espero estar caminando en esa dirección. Me estoy esforzando cada día en construir un entiendimiento sano dentro de mi, y sueño con poder ser un instrumento valioso en algún momento. No olvido nunca que mi menta es cumplir mis votos, quiero cumplirlos seriamente, espero pronto dejar de sólo desearlo, y hacerlo. Lo siento.

Gracias Gurudeva por su atención,
Su sirviente, Nitya Kisori dd (Lima, Perú)

HpS - Yes, there are different levels of development. Take some vow of rounds that you know you can do and write to us. Eg. I will chant 4-rounds a day until the next Ekadasi, or I will chant 1-round a year on Janmastami without fail. <img alt="devil" height="23" src="http://hps.monkeywarrior.com/sites/all/libraries/ckeditor/plugins/smiley/images/devil_smile.png" title="devil" width="23" />
Then after you do your Vrata examine the result and make another vow. In this way you will get back to the Contract that Srila Prabhupada is offering for Initiated devotees.
