HpS - Resign as Bh. Sastri Examiner in Peru

AGTSP

Esteemed Bhakta-rupa Das,
Paoho.   We hope this meets you well and in the best of spirits!    By this letter let us formally end our position as the Bhakti-sastri Examiner in Peru. Rohini Devi Das is still officially the Administrator for the Diploma in Peru, and as far as I know has been very careful to keep the Records for the Diplomas.
A copy of this letter is sent to the President and Secretary of the Peru National Council and I expect they will contact you to see about the new Officials for the Diplomas. Their Candidates for Examiners etc are also receiving a copy of this letter.

If you write in simple English, www.translate.google.com can make the shift from English to Spanish pretty well.

Thank you so much. We will be in India from 1st January to 15th February and hope to see you then.
Your very fallen servant,
Hanumatpresaka Swami

What happened two hours ago?   I don't really know. Focusing on the present moment was the most important thing two hours ago and it is now also.
We have mild exhaustion, the computer seems to have updated Yahoo mail etc and now it is very difficult to read.

Frustration!    Madness!
Well, no.

Distress is expected in this world as a gift from God, but happiness will also follow it.  So, accept what we have now and act properly.

If you tremenous Sankirtan intelligence. Use it.

If now use what you have.

Number One - Chant Hare Krsna under the shelter of Srila Prabhupada's lotus feet and that will lead to all else!!!!

Hare Krishna Gurumaharaja !!!

Please accept my humble obeisances at your lotus feet !!!!!

All Glories to Srila Prabhupada !!!!!!

I am writing to Blog after a long time....

basically to tell you how I am now...

Only by YOUR  MERCY my spiritual life is a little better.....I am developing a little more desire to move forward and purify my existence....I want to develop more and more sincere desire to make progress in my spiritual life !!!!!!  How can I do this, Gurudeva?

HpS - Upadesamrta quotes BG, "sangat sanjayate kamah" - Our desires and ambitions develop from the company we keep!

Looking back in the last years...actually I did not have much desire to make progress, I was doing my spiritual life just as a heavy duty....just for doing it.....but I did not have a sincere desire to make progress...

Gurudeva, I have made many mistakes....you know that....I have lost a lot of time....I did a lot of stupid things, wasting time.....but now, after all this time I do not want to repeat the same mistakes,  I want to learn from all the mistakes I made in the past....and not make them again anymore...

Now again....I am trying to improve my sadhana getting up at  2 :00 a.m and chanting enthusiastic rounds before FMP......in this way FMP is deeper and exciting for me....I like it...!!!

Thank you so much Gurudeva !!!!!  for all your kindness and patience with this sinful soul !!!!!  Only by your mercy a sinful person like me can no longer commit more sins !!!!!  Now I want to have a pure life forever !!!! 

In the next letter I will write to you about my service...about book distribution....about my little plan to do something.....to do something to serve you and please you....as well as Srila Prabhupada..!!!

Thank you so much !!!!!

Trying to become your disciple !!!!

HpS - In ISKCON we are all trying to understand Srila Prabhupada, no? So, often we get caught up in the formal rituals of our Yoga and don't get a chance to associate with him personally.  O.K. That may be Niyama agraha to some extene , but there is still good result from it. We follow His Sadhana because we want relief from distress etc.    But basically we must have some higher understanding or we could be Mormons or Jehovah's Witnesses or Catholic and that would give us so much more access to society and material well  being.
So, we have been making progress.
No, doubt.
Let us go ahead.
Seems to me the only thing we can really do is to pray to Krsna at the lotus feet of Srila Prabhupada very sincerely.
If that doesn't work we seem to be lost.

Hare Krsna Dear Gurudev,
    Please accept my humble obeisances at your lotus feet.
    All glories to Srila Prabhupada.
    All glories to Guru parampara.

    Gurudev, can we perform "Agnihotra". If yes, what kind of? If no, then what are the reasons?
    
your fallen servant,
Girivaradhari-Gopal Das

HpS - ASA --- AGTSP. paoho.   You know the answer to this question, no????   In ISKCON temples we do Agnihotra for Initiations, Weddings etc.
Maybe we don't understand the question.... Hare Krsna!
