Hare Krsna Maharaja

AgtSP

Agt Radha-Krsna

I hope you are fine in all respects. I'm fine.

Budanath das from the little mountain.

Currently I have changed jobs, and have begun to study health care in emergencies. So between work (which is hard and at night), and studies, I do not sleep more than five hours most days, and over I'm finishing a course on hockey pretty intense, and I am overwhelmed (I hope to finish and soon pass this course) and so I could have a little more time on the weekend and regain some of my rounds.

In order to compensate for my lack of sadhana and yoga, I'm trying not stop chanting Hare Krishna / RAMA all the time, and I get especially at work, as it is quite repetitive and mechanical. When I go out I'm so tired that I forget, but I'm trying to fix it.

HpS - We have to make priorities in life. Krsna will never punish us for chanting 16-nice rounds under the authority of Srila Prabhupada!

I've noticed that when I recite all the time HARE Krishna, becomes a little empty if not one's ability to project through the association in the spiritual plane. As if reciting the Holy Names, take you to the association on another plane, spiritual, heart to heart, and if I do not seat on that plane, and I make this material reality pass through that plane where I should be, the recitation of the Holy Names becomes something material, through my fault, and loses steam.

HpS - Yes, sometimes is better to chant Bhajans or SB verses besides our 16-rounds.

On the other hand, I keep my own personal fight against this world, and more and more people like me who decide to join the fight against the evil of this world. The nicest thing is that everyone does it for love of the world and neighbor, not for any material gain, but for children, the world and all its inhabitants ... and for us too, of course.

It's nice to see that there are good people in the world, very different from each other. Many times I forget, and wish the world burned in the fire. It is true that I am sometimes a bit radical, but thanks to many good people, my mind returns to its natural site

I try to prepare my small, to learn everything I can, and then he can walk his way with an inner knowing nothing like the normal people. We sang rounds together, and explain a little Upadesamrta. And I talk a lot of basics that does not understand but already absorbed, and bear fruit in the future if Krsna wants and he allows.

I think about your arguments about that all the magic is done by Krsna and not us ... I totally agree, but when I see witches do their arts, I want to do "my art" and return it harshly. I know that chanting Hare Krsna all the time, if the mantra wants, it is immediate, and if he does not want to, no. I know because I've lived it. But I get very angry sometimes not be immediately ... I'm a little angry at times. I have not seen that only Hare Krishna not be effective. but I have two questions, I'd like to give me your opinion to see the matter in a broader way.

HpS -   Only Krsna and Balarama kill demons in Vraja.  We have to go to next letter now. It is 9PM!   Maybe send rest of this letter again!       Thank you for your creative, Krsna conscious life!!!!  More!

-How can I recite it constantly to witches who try to mess and absorb the minds of people without falling into a ritualistic process (I imagine not wanting a specific outcome in my own way and taste)?

-Shall I better use it to open my heart and dazzle with a stream of light to these people?

I try to be better devotee and not be so attached to my way of seeing things. I think it is also true that many of these people are deceived by what I call "spider brains." A person is only really bad, and others are driven by mental movements of these spider people, and are as only half bad because they do not realize they are being deceived and means controlled by these evil brains. The problem is that if they take much longer to realize, it will be too late to return back. They'll be very transformed and engaged, and only a very very fat would make them open their eyes, and that if they are lucky.

As always, it is a pleasure to write. Best of the week.

Please Maharaja, I know it's not normal, but ask Nrsimhadeva for me, that I would love to fight in their lilas many lives, with great friends.

Yours, Budanath das. A fool who considers you his friend, and other big too.

Have very good weeks with all your issues and programs so big and amazing. And a big hello.

HARE KRSNA.

Dear Gurumaharaja, this year will not come by December and is my month trip, supposedly?, but aimlessly, looking always have your association and be on your VP will see that proposals are presented. We are changing in our activities, I am now a full-time teacher until year end, except rehire me.

On the other hand, there is a tense atmosphere in NIMSAR not by the appointment of examiner, for you. I find that not our choice, but by the lack of empathy and transparency. While there are many projects and programs of studies continue, the administration is difficult. Sometimes information is omitted to board members, and decisions are made without consulting all members. So was my annoyance and I stated. At a meeting he was to give other proposals on the subject of the examiner. So I consulted P. Mathuresa who accepted. But everything is a proposal, rather than personal differences you may have with a devotee this, it sgte. these were my points:

The examiner must be a professor BS, and work with the team manager in coordination with other active teachers for preparing the question bank (as when we did with UD. Beautiful memories!)

You should also have the backing of force and irreproachable moral authorities, to teach, preach, administer, etc. bhakti example. and there are more insurance requirements under provisions of ISKCON.

Each group within an organization has a mood, ours is horizontal. No time imposes ideas, profession, etc. therefore there is a favorable environment. brahminical treatment is always sought, avoid politicking.

It is also important from my point of view not force relationships, or create tension within a group only on a whim, you. sometimes said to get along with some people from a distance and NIMSAR are few, and we are contributing ideas and actively participating in various projects, so the devotees asked to reconsider the situation.

Personally I consider that Ksatriya more Brahmana, I love the brahminical qualities and I have always avoided administrative positions, because to meditate I require an environment of kindness and my spiritual life I am selective in seeking my association. I talked to LAD these issues in detail, I present my concerns.

In the past Patraka mother Rohini and we correct tests, we do not correct exams our students, so it is good to be several Group three was a good number. I do not like the lack of objectivity in which this information is presented by the secretariat, also it was agreed previously, for my part have tried to maintain good relations with the different members of the group, but as things turned out I'm not very happy . You. Know the background of this issue and can enterder it is not easy for me, and although many courses is a shame the lack of empathy for the group, except for Candra Mukhi.

Sorry to bother him with these issues that are unique to NIMSAR, but it was necessary clarification, hopefully with his blessings are resolved for the good of the group.

Hari bolo!

HpS - Hare Krsna!  We cannot understand all of this letter from the Google translation., so we will try the Spanish now also.

Querido Gurumaharaja, este año no vendrá por diciembre y es mi mes de viaje,

HpS = Esperamos ir a Sud America ~15 Abril - ~15 May.   Y ir a Vrndavana 2024.

¿Supuestamente?, pero sin rumbo, siempre buscaba tener su asociación y estar en su VP,

HpS - Esta anyo es Mangala arati in Mexico y despues en el avion de a India!  Possible un festival de Vyasapuja en el avion at Paris!

 veremos que propuestas se presentan. Estamos cambiando en nuestras actividades, ahora soy profesora tiempo completo hasta fin de año, salvo me vuelvan a contratar.

HpS - ASA -- !!!!

Por otro lado, hay un clima tenso en NIMSAR no por el nombramiento de examinador,  por Ud.

HpS - Otra vez, es decision del GBC, Junta Nacional, pero Nimsar pero presentar su sugerencia. Pienso es un trabajo simple, burrocratico, lo cual muchos entre Vds puede hacer para un anyo, y despues otro puede hacer.

me entero que no nos corresponde la elección,

HpS - No entiendo esta frase??

sino por la falta de empatía y de transparencia.

Si bien es cierto que hay muchos proyectos y los programas de estudios continúan, la administración es difícil.  A veces se omite información a los miembros del directorio, y se toman decisiones sin consultar a todos los miembros. Por eso fue mi molestia y lo manifesté. En una reunión se quedó con dar otras propuestas sobre ese tema del examinador. Por eso consulté a P. Mathuresa quien aceptó. Pero todo es una propuesta, más que las diferencias personales que uno pueda tener con un devoto esta,  lo Sgte. estos fueron mis puntos:

El examinador debe ser profesor BS, y trabajar con el equipo administrador en coordinación con otros profesores activos para la elaboración del banco de preguntas, (como cuando lo hicimos con UD. ¡Hermosos recuerdos!)

Tambien debe tener el respaldo de autoridades vigentes y moral intachable, que enseñe, predique, administre, etc. el bhakti con el ejemplo. y seguro hay más requisitos según disposiciones de ISKCON.

HpS -  Ooof!   Hoy dia estamos muy cansado, y el cerebrio viajo. Es deficil para nosotros trata relacionar con estas puntos administrativas por internet, sino son simple!

Continuando con so progresso personal!  Desarolla su grupo de amigos devocionales y relacionar con los Instituciones de un manera instutucional (lo cual va a ser poco raro para una novicia rebelde!!)

Cual es la edad de sus muchachos??

Cada grupo dentro de una organización tiene un humor, el nuestro es horizontal. Nadie impone ideas por tiempo, profesión, etc. por ello hay un ambiente favorable. Se busca siempre tratos brahmínicos, evitar politiquería.

También es importante desde mi punto de vista no forzar relaciones, o crear tensión dentro de un grupo sólo por mero capricho, Ud. a veces decía que se lleva bien con algunas personas desde mucha distancia y en NIMSAR somos poquitos, y estamos aportando ideas y participando activamente en proyectos diversos, por eso pedía a los devotos que reconsideren la situación. 

En lo personal me considero más brahmana que Ksatriya, adoro las cualidades brahmínicas y siempre he evitado los puestos administrativos, porque para meditar requiero un ambiente de más bondad y para mi vida espiritual soy selectiva en buscar mi asociación. He hablado con LAD de estos temas al detalle, le presente mis preocupaciones. 

En el pasado con madre Rohini y Patraka corregimos exámenes, no corregimos exámenes de nuestros alumnos, por eso es bueno que sean varios los del Grupo, tres era un buen número. No me gusta la falta de objetividad en la que se presenta esta información por parte de secretaría, también eso se acordó previamente, por mi parte he procurado mantener buenas relaciones con los diferentes miembros del grupo, pero como se dieron las cosas no estoy muy contenta. Ud. conoce el fondo de este tema y puede enterder que no es nada fácil para mi, y a pesar de tantos cursos es una pena la falta de empatía por parte del grupo, a excepción de Candra Mukhi.

Lamento importunarlo con estos temas que son propios de NIMSAR, pero era necesario una aclaración, esperemos que con sus bendiciones se solucionen para el bien del grupo.

Hari bolo!

Dear Gurumaharaja please accept my humble obeisances, All glories to Srila Prabhupada. I am writing you from Chile with the intense desire to let you know about our service with our musical group "Krishna Sambandha". 

We are participating in a contest to play this year at the Music Festival "IF FIIs" in which an audience of 10 thousand people are expected. More than 1500 bands worldwide postulated for this event and Krishna Sambandha was among the 14 selected. We  need the support of all devotees so were are asking everyone to give a like on facebook via the following link: 

https://www.facebook.com/iFMusicOficial/posts/1158312567559155

We want to share the Maha Mantra Hare Krishna with thousands of souls along with a deep and sincere message of spiritual life and Krishna consciousness.

So we want to ask your blessings on this service because it is very important for all of us to receive them.

Without taking more of your time, I want to tell you that all devotees miss you a lot in Chile and they are sending their bows and affection to you. 

Thank you so much. 

with deep afection. 

your eternal servant, Abhimanyu Das

HpS - AGTSP! Paoho.  We hope everyone here in the Blog sends to the FaceBook and we will send this to our Yahoo Group in Tennessee and hope they send it to VNN, Pamho, etc!    We also miss being in Chile, walks on the Alameda, Kirtan.  See you in April!!!  Send news of your activities, your father!

Hare Krishna querido Guru Maharaj, pamho,agtSp.Espero su salud se encuentre bien en este momento.

Nosotros estamos en Buenos Aires ,seguimos haciendo servicio en la cocina para la fiesta de domingo . Seguido los devotos vienen a casa y eso me hace feliz ,darles prasadam. Mis rondas ,los 4 principios están cumpliendose, Krishna y la misericordia del ME nos brindan siempre ayuda y tratamos de responder a ello. El sábado pasado instalamos en casa las deidades y fue una experiencia muy fuerte,se llaman Sri Natavara Nitay ,Gunagrahi Pb les dio el nombre a pedido de Sridama.

Estoy volviendo a estudiar mantras del srimad bhagavatam y repasando los que ya sabía del BG, y seleccionando nuevos. Empecé a trabajar  con prasadam para un resto y eso sirve de mucho también para lo económico .

En fin mi única dificultad que sea importante ahora es son mis estudios. Las equivalencias son nulas prácticamente y empezaría  de cero, y eso me cuesta aceptar. es una carrera densa arquitectura y realmente quiero terminarla,es apasionante para mi. Necesito su consejo Gurudev, porque la posibilidad de seguir estudiando más rápida es en Córdoba ,allá me quedan sólo 3 años y acá debo empezar de cero ósea 6 años. No se que hacer.. pienso es irresponsable dejar asi a mi pareja acá , por otro lado no puedo dejar ese servicio.Se me ocurren estas soluciones ,usted dira ,no quiero especular mas.1. Me vuelvo a Córdoba ,sigo a la distancia con mi compañero ,3  años,  término lo antes posible. 2. Me quedo acá y busco otra carrera universitaria . Ahora me doi cuenta de muchas cosas que al principio no supe ,por ejemplo, no es compatible formar grihasta asrama bien sin haber terminado mi etapa de estudios . La vida grihasta te lleva a otras tareas y responsabilidades y aún no termine esto que es muy importante. estoy como una nube que se discipa.no puedo hacer bien ni un servicio ni el otro :(.Mi dificultad en Córdoba es estar lejos de los devotos, eso allá me desmoralizaba mucho. Disculpame Gurudeva si estoy desubicada en hacerle este tipo de pregunta. Nosotros ya hablamos de esto con nuestro líder congregacional Maha Hari das. Pero necesito aún así su palabra . Disculpe mis ofensas porfavor.Todas las glorias sean a su sankirtan ,a Sri Gurú y Gauranga.Gracias por sus clases los sábados me llenan el corazón.Reverencias a sus pies.

HpS - Para una Chica mucho de su carrera es "love her daddy, husband, sons".  Entonces, no se de 8,000 miles de distancia que recomendar, pero matrimonio de distancia aparece como un fracaso guarantizado.

Habla con los devotos que conocen Vd. Orar a Krsna con su Japa. Y hablar con su esposo como el piensa es mejor para ayudar el en su carrera. Entonces va a ser bien.
Pienso no necesita aquitecura. Puede utilizar en entrenemiento que tiene y busca como relacionar bien con se esposo.

Va  a tener hijos?

Entonces que tiempo tiene para ser aquitecta?

Claro puede trabajar en esta area como artista, vendadora, muchs cosas. Cual es la mision de su esposa, su family?

Hare Krisna Por Favor Acepte mis humildes reverencias mi querido Guru Deva TLGASP.

Muchas Gracias.

Jagamohan Das

HpS - Por favor acepte nuestras reverencias!   Tiene unas votas para Kartika eg. va a comer solament una vez cada dia. Distibuir tres literaturas cada dia...

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

Goura Bhakta Vrnda Ki Jay and Radha Krsna Ki Jay 

Dandavat Pranam,

Please accept my humble obeisanses unto Guruji Maharaja’s padmacharan that after getting Gurujis reply (Aamrtabani) all my eagerness and problems seems to be solved, but enven now Gurji Maharaja did not reply or order me to go and join the mandir activities or not to go. What will be our next steps?

HpS - Hare Krsna. So, nice to hear from you. You wrote this 1 week and 5 days ago. We are a little slow in answering the mail. There has been a lot of work organizing our Kartika travel.

We don't know enough about the details of the Mandir in Thoubal to give detailed instructions. Only someone who lives there can do that. Of course Krsna lives there, so you should ask Him. Do that by good Japa, readin from Prabhupada's books, talking with several good local devotees and of course always working with ISKCON Managers. Is that O.K?  You can make some practical decision based upon those sources??

Yamunesvara Das - Yes, I will remind Guruji Maharaja in December about the Cemera but I want to know the actual price in America and India Rupees. Preferably (i) Canon – Power Shot SX400 IS (20 MP Resolution)

HpS - We just went to www.amazon.com and they show it for $230. You can do the same research. Amazon has good prices.

Yamunesvara Das - ....or, (ii) Sony Cyber Shot DSC-H300 Point and short Cemera or (iii) Nikon-Coolpix B-500.

Now a days, my house construction work also continuing. In the mean time, my I am performing my routine chanting, mangal aarati, Bhagavatam and Gita path, Ten Nama Aparadha, Siksha Astakama and 5 slokas of Brahma Samhita. To remember the eight Goswamis, eight Mahantas, eight shakhis, eight manjuris, eight times (asta kala), eight sevas of Sakhis, eight gates of Navadwip and Vrndaban, eight dreses of Sannyas. 

Frequently not regularly I am listioning Gurujis lectures and other religious topics from the website when I am in the office and free time. These are my present activities. In these days I stopped sadhu sangha with local or initiated bhaktas of ISKCON.

Please suggest me further activities to improve my bhakti marga.

Yours fallen servant

Yamunesvara Das

HpS - Keep writing to this Blog (Web-log) and take some notes on your reading and write about that. If you don't go to Mandir programs then for sure invite people to your house and discuss SB and share Prasadam. Then you will advnce very well in your return to Krsna seva!!  Thank you.
