Hare Krsna!!!
 

AgtSP...   Paoho....   It is 2.36AM in room 303 of the ISKCON Kolkata Guest House.  Fan is grinding out a torturous noise, the only place to charge the cell phone and this computer is an outlet high-up on the bathroom wall, above the toilet.

Strange!

Improvisational Theater.  Next lifetime we will be in Goloka???   Maybe Gokula...   ... ... Pune, Navi-mumbai, were all very successful. We met with Prof. Joe Periera who created and manages the Kripa Foundation. They help people with AIDS and chemical dependency etc. He runs one of the three Jungian Centers in India. He also was awarded the Padma Sri in like 2009.

Our vision is going pretty fast.

Respiration is not deep. We learned a LOT from joining a Sub-Mumbai Rathayatra: You CAN chant and dance from your soul. It doesn't have to be super intense, but nice, for Krsna. We applied this in chanting our Japa on the airplane. If you can chant and dance for four hours in front of Jagannatha, then certainly you chant chant and dance for two hours while sitting  on the airplane. It worked. We had to chant slower but it was deep. Like internal Kirtan.  [infernal kirtan]

Can't hear much at all on the airplane. Injun Roars!    Gotta cover your ears to chant.

This is the last week of this India Tour. Still no news from Delta. Guess we take the Pathway Through the Valley of Death (Economy Seating Alone) on the way back.

The Big Brown Bear would wash his hair in creek spanked water Sunday.
So bedecked he would say, "What the Heck!" and go to the Temple quite Dunday.

"Hurray Krsna!   Hurray Rama!"

 Always hear Nama Radha-Shyama!

[Battery 50%] Back to the toilet to recharge... =]]]but no, or maybe one, mosquitos. not hot. fresh water. private cave. TPP Composition Book on page 67. ]]]-  

     Where is Sita?     Presidency College???

Will Miguel Polo Edit an even better 'Solaris II'?

             Raquel the Rabbit?

The Blue Babboon?    Ulysses. Merco -Sur?       No URGENT letters on the Blog.   Presidency College.

ASA-Perú little urgent

Hare Krishna, dear Gurumaharaja. Pamho. AGTSP!

I'm looking forward to have your assotiation again by ASA FMP. Now, I'm doing it myself and some days in the temple.

I've have a nice conversation with Karuna Krishna Prabhu about education and we agreed to work together as ASA under your protection and blessings. I'm nobody, practically nothing, without your protection.

I'm presenting myself as a member of ASA-Perú and I'm thinking of join people together in a conglomerate as ASA-Perú with a broad perspective, no attachements or administration bandages for now. In time, I think, people that really want to work together can get together in a more formal team. I still have the desire to have a formal institution in peruvian educative system. I have to be a little patient cause experience tells me that the most difficult part is to create a team. I've been in several that couldn't become something lasting.  

As M. Yugala suggested and talking to Karuna Krishna Prabhu, seems that Maturesh Prabhu is a nice option for Bhakti sastri examiner. I think that if we create a team around him we can work well. Again, it should be as ISKCON-Perú.

I hope your sankirtan is going well, and please, your blessing for mine.

Thank you for being always there for me when I need you. I want to be a help for you not a burden.

Trying to be a decent disciple,

Laksmana-agraja

HPS - ASA -- Hare Krsna!   AGTSP.   paoho.   It is very nice to hear from you. We went out early to talk with one Diocean Catholic Priest. He has the Kripa Foundation. It is the biggest NGO in India with 169 branches. They counsel and very much help people with chemical addiction and aids. He is head of one of the three Jungian groups in India and it turns out he is friends with Radha-natha Swami. We will work with his organization. Then we changed some small Rupee notes into big Rupee notes and visited a professor of Harsh's at the IIT Bombay Campus. One of the top three institutions in the country. He also appreciated Solaris very much and is very doing work in objective scientific verification of yoga. He likes Srila Prabhupada's books.  Home through rush hour like Lima traffic. It is 35 degrees Celcius here in February. 

We are really 70-years old. Can die of heart failure anytime, but in general O.K.

Go ahead with your own Sankirtan relationship with Srila Prabhupada with the perspective of your friends in ISKCON and the ISKCON institution, GBC et al. We may be able to see Jayapataka Swami in Mayapura.

DTC 5 (Su)

Navi Mumbai.
Hare Hare, Hare Krsna!!!
We are in Navi Mumbai. The area is Mumbai and Navi mumbai, then all kinds of subdivision. If we want we can re-localize society in the village, country and things can be quite nice. There can be village crafts, musical instrument makers, village, back-yard, foundery casting Kartals, scissors etc. Yes there can be televisions, Srila Prabhupada says, 2-3 dozen for the whole world.

We just smashed our foot against the leg-foot of the bed in the the middle of the side of the bed for the third time!   It is like where it should not be. This time we scraped by a piece of skin the size of a big match head. On the Vraja-mandala-parikrama it was happening all the time, foot scrapes, punctures. We learned to ignore them. Thoughts of illicit sex will trail us to the point of death because of the birth we have taken, but if we engage in devotional service they won't bother us.

The India Tour continue. Here it is 87% local temple programs. Was the same in Pune, but here we have the broader association of Rama-giri-dhari Das x MOE, Goloka Education. The new ISKCON temple here is growing 8-stories tall by 10 acres fat!  Now we are going to Rathayatra. Where ever we go people have a loud Kirtan and garland to greet us and then special seat of honor. They we have to say something extraordinary. The only justification for all this we can assume is that Srila Prabhupada has made a silk purse out of a sow's ear.   NIOS - DSB - Psychology and the Sacred work continues.

Summary- Srimad Bhagavatam Review

Hare Krishna Maharaj,

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

We started our regular Srimad Bhagavatam review classes here at Boise Temple. Following is the summary of Introduction, preface, 1.1.1 and 1.1.2 as discussed last Sunday.

Introduction and Preface:

  • Srila Prabhupada's  purports are relevant for anybody at anytime.
  • Srimad Bhagavatam is the spiritual communism.
  • Material scientists are unsuccessful in finding ultimate truth
  • Srimad Bhagavatam has to be read sequentially.
  • This is the only scripture that talks about absolute truth right from page 1.
  • Book bhagavatam should be understood with the help of person Bhagavatam (Lord Chaitanya)


Text 1:

  • Srila Prabhupada elaborates on [meaning the word] Vasudeva.
  • Vasudeva is the Cause of all causes
  • Srimad bhagavatam is the commentary on Vedanta sutra
  • Origin of creation is also discussed in the purport.
  • Matsya Purana also refers to Srimad Bhagavatam. So Srimad Bhagavatam is older than Matsya Purana.
     

Text 2:

  • First 2 slokas are 30% of the entire chapter.
  • Srimad Bhagavatam starts where Bhagavad-gita ends. Reject all material religions.



Thank you,

Your servant,

Sundari Radhika dd.

HpS - We sent our thoughts about Verses 3-7 and posted them here. We, HPS, Monkey/Piggy, are so much dulled by association with matter that our intelligence is not alive to the SB so much. This Sanga will change this.

Urgente

8 years, 4 months ago by Adi Yajña Das in Personal Sadhana Reports

Hare Krishna Gurudev

Por favor acepte Mis humildes reverencias a Sus Pies de loto

Toda Gloria a Srila Prabhupada

El motivo de Urgente es por que El Prabhu Lomasha quiere hablar con Usted  de alguna manera , por skipe o whats app u otra posibilidad, pienso que es por asuntos familiares con su hijo

a Su servicio Adi Yajña Das

HPS - Es casi impossible para nosotros mientras estamos viajando. Primero el tiene que enviar por parte de otro o su misma una explicacion general de lo que quiere hablar. Es casi cierto que no podemos contribuir consejo particular a el por que no conocemos la situacion particular!

DTC 1(We)

ISKCON - Pune

Hare Krsna!    AgtSP.    Braja visit was very refreshing. We were able to do everything properly in the worship of Braja and then went to Delhi for the night - BG class for 1-1/2 hours. To the airport at 7AM. Flight delayed for 1-1/2 hours for THICK fog. Arrived here at the small, old, sweet smelling Temple, bath, Prasadam (after 22-hours) and then Brahmacari class = about 65-b'caris, devotees, 3.30-4.45PM. Now a little more fruit and sweets and our head-ache is gone and we will rest (do light work) until Arati at 6.45PM. At 7.30PM Radhe-Shyama comes from the New Big Temple for a visit. We feel bad that he is coming to us and not us to him!!!

He has hundreds of disciples, students. He started with nothing and built an entire empire based on education.

While waiting for the flight we answered the excellent, "URGENT", mail and did our BhSastri and SB for the week reading. Only thing failing is doing some work with Dr. Samaresh.

Prahlada Nrsmha Das from this Blog called. We will see him soon.

O.K. Rest our eyes and brains.

We hope your lives are as exciting and successfull as ours. Much more so!   You are more sincere than we.
