Siksha Guru

Querido Maharaj, reciba mis mas humildes reverencias

todas las glorias a Su Divina Gracia Srila Prabhupada Ki yai!

Quiero agradecer su infinita misericordia al darme la carta de recomendación para la iniciación y participarle mis más profundos y sinceros sentimientos al recibir su carta.

"Se que no estoy en pleno conocimiento. estoy en la ignorancia acerca de mi naturaleza espiritual, por lo que quiero seguir las instrucciones de mis Gurus personas espiritualmente avanzadas ... "

 

Cuando recibí su última carta me sentí muy mal, me

dolió mucho que usted me diga ¨Good luck¨ sentí que había perdido a mi querido Guru Hanumanpresaka Swami

Creo recordar que Usted me dijo que

si me iniciaba con Guru Maharaj Jajapataka Swami, o sea tomaba Diksha Hari Nama con JPS podía

seguir teniendo su refugio como Siksha Guru.

Por favor Guru Maharaj dejo absolutamente a su interpretación, y me pongo en sus manos, le pido me ayude con la luz de su conocimiento!

No quiero perder su maravillosa asociación!

Reciba mis humildes reverencias

Sri Krsna y Radha lo bendigan siempre y que siga distribuyendo su Gracia

Su humilde sirvienta

HpS - ASA - Por que no. Por mi es algo informal: Preguntas y respuestas, pero por Jayapataka Swami ha sido algo formal. Tattvavit-gaura Das de Peru pidio de Maharaja como Diksa guru y yo como Siksa y en el momento sde iniciacion JPS era formalment estableciendo eso.

De mi, de cualquiere manera es muy bien!   Pero solamente mencionando a Maharaja para formailzar.

hare krishna Maharaj

pamho

agtsp.

at the beginning [Of the Bhakta Training Program at Bhaktivedanta Manor in England] we were 5 people; then a devotee leave after two weeks; then in the middle of the course came another devotee from Germany; and late last month, came two devotees from Hungary.
so today we are 7 people.

ending, the final is April 27.

We also did the course (Guru - disciple)

Yeah, well, in the beginning it was very difficult for me; but after struggling a bit I can say that survived; at least we're still here.

be in the room of Prabhupad is serious business.

not to commit offenses there.

there are times when I dance, I feel that Krishna controls me.

MASTER OF THE SENSES

it's a good idea.

without the favor of Nitai it is strange.

Maharaj thank you very much for your support
you are always a source of inspiration for me

HpS - Hmmm.   You can see that it has taken us three weeks to answer this letter!   We are also very much struggling to be regular devotees and establish our priorities. Pretty much, whatever we do if we have the basis of the Full Morning Program, 16-4, then we will derive good benefit from it and Krsna will direct us in detail which programs to join.

We hope to hear from you now, your next program!

We survived the wave

Dear Guru Maharaja you are my constant inspiration.

AGTSPI

I tell him that recently i have discouragement in my spiritual life , suddenly did not want to get out more sankirtan from disciembre until March it was as marathon in the temple out every day and suddenly the body or the mind and were tired and desnimados, I was worth writing now for the miscericosrde of Gurupasad swami and I'm otravez in a marathon sankirtan by ud Gurumajaraja traveling in the van by different cities of mexico led by Jayadeva hari dasa , 25 this month prabhu aravinda asked me to travel to panama and Colombia to do sankirtan and give a workshop sankirtan , I owe it all to you.

HpS - Hare Krsna, I think you owe maybe .001% to me. .01% a Vds and everything else to Srila Prabhupada

with respect to distributing great books to a library truth still meditating on how to carry out this instruction bought but few books 10 or 5 or so and have not sold but are still waiting as actually makes your deceo only time separates me from to achieve this, I could not upload videos to Srila Prabhupada youtube page of the temple because traduccirlos not , but I hope someone help me with this instruction , my rounds but still want to have more enthusiasm for singing .

Gurudeva even get not properly honor the living entities want to learn to see Krsna in every situation and exit is dark neophyte status constates cometeer mental offenses , please explain to me how can I increase the caludad in my devotional service , I should abide Mr. Gauranga, Srila Prabhupada , or you ? Who should I offer my prayers ? Gurudeva wanted to please instruct me if it is your desire.

HpS - Claro, la respuesta es Srimad Bhagavatam. Y claro recibido por Senor Caitanya y Srila Prabhupada en la association of devotees in ISKCON. Solamente clarificar el processo. Ya lo tiene. No tiene que hacer algo bastante diferente. Solamente tiene que hacer con mas expertise el proseso y adelantar a Raganuga Bhakti.

thank you very much beloved Gurudeva please give me the blessing of being able to remember life after life be good enough to use me in his service to Krsna I want nothing more, let my desire for material gratification fail and have no other choice but to surrender to his lotus feet that they are my only hope in the midst of this maddening and burning material existence.

sorry for my goggle traduccion

HpS - It is a good translation. Just use simple words that the Robot will understand!!

Eagerness for internal seva

Hare Krishna Maharaja!

Is there a proper or recommended attitude toward the realization of one's own spiritual body/service in Goloka? Should the desire to return to serving Radha and Krishna in their lila be the forefront of my practice and the motivation to pursue the path of devotion? My feelings at the moment are that I am very fallen and far from advanced stages of Krsna Consciousness so I should just focus on performing the fundamentals of bhakti and not jump ahead to these deep subjects. Is it appropriate to think like in siksastaka prayer that Krishna is free to do as he likes with me, he can leave me broken hearted by not being present before me etc? I will keep attempting  my basic services whether or not my internal/eternal service is EVER revealed to me or even if I never get a taste or positive feedback from Krishna. Or is the proper approach to be intensely greedy to get back to Vraja and serve the Lord in a spiritual form. Am I simply a fool in denial? Please enlightened me.

Your aspiring servant

Bhakta Daniel 

HpS - ASA - We can only try to remember what Prabhupada is discussing. The last verse of the Siksastikam that you paraphrase is described in Caitanya Caritamrta as coming from Lord Chaitanya in a mood of advanced devotion.

As I know you I would say its fine to think about Krsna and Braja and wanting to serve there and go there, but it is more natural for you and us to be thinking about freedom from distress and a life in ISKCON that is positively harmonius with our business, family, church, health.

O.K?    Focus on getting your rounds done for practical purposes but as much as is natural focus on going to Goloka in the Holy Names.

Thank you!

Hope this meets u in really good health

Today I present my resignation as chief pujari in wilson.. we feel good. Because if they allow me I will continue with my seva.. but not in charge. I was not doing my service as well as before. I realized that I was a burden rather than a help.

So i think and think a lot about my priorities. Get up early and get my rounds done.. 4P.. read.. And do some for this sankirtan movement.

I have recovered all my rounds.. my fmp is much more better now. I am teaching BS. It is very nice to share ideas with my students... etc

I am helping Abhiram thakur das for the congress in June.. it is a great group. Patrak, Nitya kishore, jagat pavitram, Parama Karuna, torino. Etc... Jambavan will help us also 

We feel really happy. Hope to be useful with lalita gopi dd... Let's see what Krsna wants

Thanks for your inspiration

Trying be useful

HpS - ASA ---   Hare Krsna...    Are you going deeper in your Krsna consciousness?  If we just go on with basic determination as you are doing then the Witch can't stop you. Step by step we are climbing out of Her pit!
