3.-Gandharva d is preparing a manual teacher and manual student of Introducction to Bhakti yoga, for this Jiva sakti d gave us his material.

NIMSAR need to have teaching material.

4.-Candra mukhi dd, will be representing NIMSAR in Brazil, she already started to prepare.We thought it would be a good topic: Educator profile.

For teaching of vaisnavas courses, it is no enough to be a teacher career, a required a certain character and competence.

Sri Nrsimhadeva protec you

Thank you very much

HpS - Hare Krsna. Thank you for your Report.  We are a little bit delayed, no?   This is 8th November and the Report is titled 2nd October.
<img alt="smiley" height="23" src="http://hps.monkeywarrior.com/sites/all/libraries/ckeditor/plugins/smiley/images/regular_smile.png" title="smiley" width="23" />         ... we are all to blame, and we are all trying, like children trying to cook a cake for their Father's birthday. Their Mother is always watching and really doing the cooking.
We are in Richmond, Virginia now.  The education program is so disorganized from our perspective. Top to Bottom. So we go back to us-Prabhupada-Krsna and then we can actually get some structure and then we can share it with you and others!

Now we are working on the NOI as a Vaisnava Verse Book. We are doing it as a Power Point Show. We will present it Saturday!!

Please send us any news as it developes, Yatra, Family, Goloka!

URGENT, visiting Holydham

8 years, 7 months ago by gurudev in Personal Sadhana Reports

Hare Krsna Guru-Maharaj,

Pamho agtSP

Praying to Radha Damodar for Their blessing upon you.

Please excuse my pushy attempt to get your authorization for visiting the Holydham - Vrindavan this year. Actually at the end of this month.

After a very draining, intense time, we ended up dry, physical and emotionally exhausted. A urgent, revitalising and nourishing spiritual experience is required for our survival, growth, and continue in our service.  At this point, I desperately seeking senior vaisnava association, shelter, spiritual nourishment. We have heard about the glories of Holy Name and Govardhan retreats organised by VIHE. We hope this time we can take part of the latter one. Please  Sir, grand (grant) us your authorization and blessing to do it.  I do not want to commit previous mistake (2 years ago). Visiting Holydham without your authorization, taking charge and responsibility of my spiritual life overiding You.  ...  The proclivity to commit mistake is contantly present as part of my material conditioning, but at least, i should avoid to commit the same mistake again and again. Help me please!!! , So, i can procede with the preparations, getting temple authority permission, booking flights, transport, accommodation that it must be done ASAP..  I am just waiting for your authorization, which at the end means Radhe Krsna and HolyDham authorization, withour it, I can not enter  and being in the Holydham.

humbly, we also request, your advice, how I should be engaged, spending time in the Holydham - Vrindavan?. The idea is to have 8 weeks in the Holydham. After Govardhan retreat, perhaps i can enrol, CHANTING, parikrams.. introspection, critical reflection = self-evaluation.

This is my second attempt to writing you about it. Previously we  failled to use the word URGENT, hope this time.. it works.. Dont know if you can figure out who is writing you,  I am using a pseudo-name, as you suggested. It is weird way to write you, a sort of impersonal, distance.. no satisfactory way to approach to you.. but i do not have another choice..!!  <img alt="sad" height="23" src="http://www.hps.monkeywarrior.com/sites/all/libraries/ckeditor/plugins/smiley/images/sad_smile.png" title="sad" width="23" /> <img alt="crying" height="23" src="http://www.hps.monkeywarrior.com/sites/all/libraries/ckeditor/plugins/smiley/images/cry_smile.png" title="crying" width="23" />  this way of communication yields in me, an intense rejection,  pain, pushing me away.. better to be distance...  Yes, at this point, you probably figured out who is writing. Hope so.

Sorry Sir..

Thank you.   Hare Krsna 

Your, disciple.
HpS - Hare Krsna, esteemed Uknown Disciple!  Do not feel rejected!   If you want to communicate on details then please just tell us so and then we can have a private chat, with maybe association of a Senior Grhastha if we have to adjust the Ashrama situtations.
You are a senior person, so how can you deny sharing your flesh and blood with others?   Yes, please go to the Holy Dhama, if our well wishes have any effect. We also want to go there. We will be in Delhi/Vrndavana from 27th Jan - 1st Feb. Just to be alone in Vraja. Walking down the street. Even if filled with a thousand different crazy street vendors. To smell Vrndavana. To have our bare feet run over by a rickshaw and to lose two and one-half toes and maybe die of gangrene. To rub our face against the 600-year old walls of some nameless building in Loi Bazaar.

We can only suggest to read and contemplate the following link, by the mercy of Srila Prabhupada and Kusa-krata Das.   Make good arrangments for good association there.  Cakori Radha, Tunga-vidya Devi Dasi.  VIHE courses can be nice.

You can always help with cleaning.

Write everyday and then share the results with us and we all will be with you there. Pray to understand you eternal relationship with Radha-Krsna and of course that will illuminate any external relationships.

Guruji's North East Inia visit (Manipur) from 18th Jan. to 26th Jan.2017

8 years, 7 months ago by mukta singh in Calendar Development

All Glories to Guruji Maharaja, Sripad Maharaja and  A.C.Prabhupada Maharaja

Radha Krsna Ki Jay and Goura Bhakta Vrnda Ki Jay,
Dandavat Pranam,
Please accept my humble obeisanses unto Guruji Maharaja's padmacharan that I got Guruji Maharaja's latest letter accepting extension of one day e.g. 26th Jan. 2017 for Thoubal. All programme were set up through  consultation with Haridas Prabhu. Now he is in Imphal, so I will meet him today and will show Gurujis acceptence letter to him.  The new initiation programme is not yet finalised for Brahma Diksa two members were finalized. I will talk the expected bhaktas personally within two / three days only then I will inform Guruji Maharaja and Haridas Prabhu. Shortly I will arrange a meeting of all initiated bhaktas for final shape of the three days programme.

Yours fallen servant

Yamunesvara Das

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

HpS -  Dandavats, Sahaab!   Hari-nama Sankirtan in Manipur. You will go with us on the trips to Silchar etc???      We received the following letter from The Hari-Das Das:
=============================================

Dandavat pranam Maharaj, 
Please accept our most humble obeisances. All glories to SPP, SG, SSG & LSK. 
Hare Krsna Maharaj, 
This morning we have a discussion about your merciful North East India Tour Programme. Everything is O.K. Maharaj except the date of Manipur leaving because 26TH JAN'17 being Republic Day of India which is opposed by all the extremist groups of N/E India and observe BANDH all over N/E States, plying of vehicles on the roads are almost restricted and no one wants to take risk of untoward incident, hence, BANDH becomes successful.

We, therefore, pray your lotus feet to stay one more day in Manipur and leave for Delhi/Vrndavana next day on 27TH JAN'17. Kindly have a mercy upon your Manipur/ Thoubal disciples & devotees and advise us so that we can proceed further to arrange Air Tickets etc. Regarding initiation programme, we are seeking mercy of your lotus feet soon within a day or two. 
Thanking you and assuring you of our best services always. 
Your servant, 
Hari dasa, 
Manipur ISKCON, Imphal. 

Date : 08.11.2016.

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

HpS - Hare Krsna.  So, we will plan to leave from Imphal on the 27th for Delhi, Vrndavana early in the morning.

"Vrndavana-dhama-mahimamrta" by Prabhodananda Sarasvati:
Sataka One
5 Think of Vrndavana with love. Roll in its dust. Love it ardently. Please its moving and non moving residents. Worship Sri Radha’s birthplace. With all your heart take shelter of Sri Vrndavana, the best of all holy places.

6 If the Vedanta does not directly describe Vrndavana, why should that matter to me? If the faulty logicians, who are like serpents living in the Vedic literatures, ignore Vrndavana, why should I care? If even the devotees of the Lord do not understand the glories of Vrndavana, how does that affect me? Even if my heart were pierced by thousands of thunderbolts, I would never leave Vrndavana.

7 I meditate on Vrndavana, where the cuckoos sing the fifth note, the flute plays splendid melodies, peacocks sing and dance, vines and trees bloom, splendid and charming forests are wonderful with many birds and deer, and there are many splendid lakes, streams and hills.

See you in 10-weeks. Let us make a lot of good arrangements so that the visit is very productive. Eventually we can all continue this forever. Radha Govinda Chandra Ki Jai.

6PM

Hare Krsna.   14 rounds. We will chant more on the way to the evening program. We made it to Richmond, Virginia. Had Srila Prabhupada festival last night!!  About 25-devotees here in Subal's home.

Honoring Prasad once a day has been great advance for us. It is austere, but we can handle it and then our health is better, we can see how to eat better because it is simple and clear program.

Now sun has gone 15-minutes ago.  We have to bathe and pack.  Prepare for class, Bh. Sastri, tonight. We answered a ton of letters. Mostly Calendar things.  We also answered 2-Annual Disciple Reports!

Hare krsna, maharaja; please accept my obeissances.. i havent write in a long time and pasing de time i feel more and more confused about my dutys and less entusiastic about everythin related with my espiritual life and a subject that i want to coment its about the guru...

i feel a little confused and sometimes i think i have to meet other gurus i dont know if it is because of my mind or mi condition but i feel confused about everything im in a relationshiep and part of all this i think its because of that because im not doing the things right i try to and some times i made it but other times no so much... now i dont know i think i have to chant more and read i know more o less my fails and im working on it but i lost comunication with the guru and im sorry because this fallen condition :/  tryin to follow the steps of the previus acaryas YS: Bhaktin F

HpS - ASA -- Hare Krsna, Mataji. Are you in Mexico???   One foto of your self and friends.

King Satyavrata had a similar problem to you. Read http://www.vedabase.com/es/sb/8/24/46   from Text 46-53.  Krsna is the first Guru, then Srila Prabhupada if you want to accept him as your Acharya, then His disicples on down to the blades of grass, but the above link is a good place to start. Take a few days to read it. Discuss it with some friends. Then write again!  [and take nice Maha-prasad!]
