DTC 7(Th)

Our report to Dr. Samaresh, says it all, Paoho.. =============================== Hare Krsna! Esteemed Professor It is 9.05PM in Santiago, Chile. We have a dangerous headache. We traveled 17-hours from Nashville, Tennessee, our base, through Houston, Texas to arrive in Lima, Peru at 11.30PM. We tried to call your esteemed self with our last moments in the USA but your cellular didn't respond. Then, we were been traveling, meeting with Director of National Library, Head of National Psychiatric Society et al for two days in Lima, then all last night in the airplane to arrive here in Santiago. Here we had no access to internet until five minutes ago, so first we looked for any letters from your good self, then began to write your humble news. I think that is as much as we should do for now, no? We will still try to call, and write more. According to our understanding you will not be near to your land-line for a few more days. Being able to write to your good self puts a very practical anchor on our traveling and so far things are going quite well for these efforts for NIOS. We are becoming more and more humble and just trying to let Krsna drive our chariot. Things have developed way beyond our means to control them in any great fashion. We will be here for a week, so will be a little rest as planned. We will be doing a program with the National Library here also. HpSwami "Even fleas have little fleas that bite them", Wm. Blake.

The Last Letter

9 years, 5 months ago by hps in DTC

2.58AM

We got up early and chanted one round and then started answering these letters. We will have several hours in the airport. We still have to pack. Had an emergency visit from worried devotees yesterday.

That's the last letter we can answer for a while unless it is URGENT. Even then you should contact us through our local secretary if you can.

While traveling it is almost impossible to answer much mail. Devamrta Swami told us that was his conclusion also. Staying here I have time for letters. Traveling we get 5-individual consulatations a day [or more].

ASA - But you will be traveling now for three months.

HpS - Hmmm. Well, we'll post more stuff here and we will answer Urgent letters.
O.K. Chant one more round, bath, puja, FMP! Pack. Leave by 7AM.

VYASA PUJA OFFERING

Hare Krsna Beloved Gurudeva

All Glories to Srila Prabhupada

Please accept my humble obeisances at your lotus feet

Another year here we are trying to glorify U ¡¡

Each year I discover new things in the developing of our relationship Guru – Disciple

Besides your humility, intelligence, renunciation, etc

I have realized that one of the most relevants thing that I admire U is that even if U are an already liberated soul, at the same time U are very human very real ¡¡¡ It comes to my memory when U mention Partha Sarati in your classes that he said that he had the compromise that every single mom must have their sons tonight after the fight ¡¡¡ and as soon as u said that your eyes started to become full of tears ¡¡¡

HpS - Who wouldn't. War is terrible, no?

Last year when U were giving initiation to Syamakunda and U remember his father, the situation became too emotional . I was not there but later I got the video ¡¡ It was really amazing ¡¡¡ The way You remember your friend.

I can cite more examples but I do not want to make U uncomfortable.

The only thing that I want to convey is that I admire the way U are your determination, the purity of your soul , a child’s soul. It came to my memory also when U commented in one class that one Maharaja in India told U: “Hanuman Swami U did not grow up ? did you?,” U are like peter pan ¡¡

Radharani refuses to grow ¡

Radharani refuses to know ¡

U are always fresh, happy, pure, and that is why U follow faithfully what your very dear Gurumaharaja asks, your beloved and respected Srila Prabhupada ¡¡¡

You are transparent, authentic, u taught me to continue no matter happens, I have to confess that last year many times I wanted to drift apart ISKCON, but each time I tried, I remember U, your words, classes, gifts and I just couldn’t because honestly I just can not imagine my life without HH Hanumatpresaka Swami on it ¡¡¡¡

I am happy and sad at the same time, because even though I write in all my letters BELOVED GM, if u were really beloved to me I wouldn’t have failed U the way I did many times ¡¡¡ So

My only desire is next year have the fortune to be in front of You and tell U I love U Beloved Gurudeva

Trying always to be iur disciple again

HpS - Your dog will always love you also (if you feed him). AGTSP!

Hanumatpresaka Swami H oy deseo retomar mis votos con mi amado maestro espiritual A ños entregados a una causa superior - sankirtana- , llevando luz y esperanza a todo lugar. N uevos proyectos de predica cada año, predicando a los brahmanas y a las masas. U niendo a la familia de ISKCON, conteniendo a todos sus miembros gracias a sus sabios consejos. M uchas pruebas, experiencia y sabiduría de vida ha obtenido por lo que puede aconsejar y ser empatico con todos A mor puro por Krsna es la meta a la que pacientemente nos va conduciendo. P ulir nuestro carácter, crecer como devotos es nuestro deber para poder realizar sus instrucciones R epresentante fidedigno de Srila Prabhupada, con paciencia, constancia, mente fría para la predica académica, hoy vemos sus frutos, lo admiramos. E ducación es la mejor herencia que nos ha dejado somos conscientes y eternamente agradecidos por su esfuerzo por trasmitir el conocimiento. S astri: bhakti sastri, bhakti vaibhava, estudio sistemático de los libros de Srila Prabhupada sin duda Él acarya se siente más que complacido con sus esfuerzos. A hora mi mente es más estable y entusiasta, sus esfuerzos por enderezar este árbol torcido dan efecto, cada vez que maya me cubre y como ave herida caigo, Ud. me da aliento, aun si no estuviera me quedan sus instrucciones, y las enseñanzas que con dedicación nos ha impartido. K rsna y Radha, Rama y Sita, Daksa, Citraketu, mil y un pasatiempos entendemos mejor y podemos aplicar a nuestra vida y tal vez trasmitir. A sociación, proceso, contenido - tava pache pache, también queremos seguir sus pasos, ser buenos carteros. S irviente, fiel sirviente, tal como Ud. es de Srila Prabhupada por favor bendígame para olvidarlo nunca a Krsna, poder complacerlo con mi insignificante servicio, permítame tener éxito en mi servicio a Ud. W oo, perdone todas mis ofensas recuerde que al menos no han sido intencionales, que se deben a mi contaminación, a mi crasa ignorancia, a mí inexperiencia, que el tiempo me permita resarcir el daño hecho. A hora solo nos queda agradecerle por toda su oportuna ayuda, soy consciente como se preocupa por todos los devotos sean o no sus discípulos. Mi único deseo es cantar las glorias de mi amado Guru, de sus predecesores, y todos ellos me llevan a los maravillosos pasatiempos de Radha a Krsna. I maginar la faz de la tierra sin devotos, los hombres de Prabhupada,… no habría esperanza, no habría canto, no habría belleza,… pero la misericordia existe, tengo Guru estoy más que orgullosa de Él, del movimiento al que pertenezco y no me pienso ir, Ud. es el responsable de esto, ya se lo dije antes, Feliz Vyasa Puja Gurudeva! Ud. vive siempre en nuestro corazón. Hanumatpresaka Swami Ki Jay! Movimiento de Sakirtana Ki Jay! Su hija que lo adora: Yugala Kishora Dasi. HpS - ASA - Wow! Increible. You must have been in the house of Brhaspati in your previous life. Now Radha-Krsna won't let anyone have you except Them. We have to improve. Don't hear so much mundane literature.

ON DEITY WORSHIP AND HOW TO GET FREE FROM ILLICIT SEX

9 years, 5 months ago by Sananda in Personal Sadhana Reports

HARE KRSNA DEAR GURUDEVA!,

PAMHO,AGTSP!

HOW ARE YOU?

I AM WRITTING ABOUT THIS TOPIC FOLLOWING YOUR INSTRUCTION.

SEX BRINGS GREAT PAIN, THAT IS MY PERSONAL EXPERIENCE (NOT JUST THEORY), AND YET IS A BIG CHALLENGE

TO GET RID OF IT, SPEACIALLY WHEN ONE IS MARRIED.

I SUPPOSE IT IS ALSO FEAR THAT CUTTING IT OFF ALTOGETHER MAY MEAN DIVORCE , ADULTERY, OR LACK OF PHYSICAL AFECTION (I MEAN HUGS)

FOR SOMETIME I HAVE BEEN CHANTING MY ROUNDS AND THEN WAKE THE DEITIES UP, BUT THEN IT´S TOO LATE AND

I FEEL OFTEN TIRED, SO I HAD ALLREADY SET TO CHANGE THIS HABIT AS A PRIORITY, TO IMPROVE MY SERVICE TO

THEM.

YOU PROPOSE DEITY WORSHIP TO GET FREE FROM ILLITCIT SEX ...SO WHAT ELSE CAN I DO TO IMPROVE?

THANK YOU FOR YOUR PATIENCE AND SUPPORT

ASPIRING TO YOUR SERVANT SANANDA DD

HpS - ASA -- Of course, we can only discuss these things as B'caris and Sannyasis. Get nice Ashrama Gurus, nice Grhasta, lady, devotees to advize you. Prabhupada says that the husband can go our daily to collect funds and then wife can work in the house to arrange nice service for their deities with whatever he brings home, a lot or a little, and make their home a very nice place.

Of course, there are details. For example, the lady may be going out with other ladys for preaching programs with someones father and brother while their husbands are working in the Court etc.

But the basic principle is to focus the routing work of married life on the Deity. When you buy new clothes bring them home, put them in front of your Lord and Lady and say, "We just got some new clothes for Your servants. Are They proper?"

O.K. Hug your Deities.

Help your partner be engaged the same way.

Maybe be Vanaprastha.

Progress can be rapid. Yes, girls fake sex to get love and men fake love to get sex, but after a little education they both figure out how to really engage in Radha-Krsna seva to get Prema.

In Vaikuntha there are husbands and wives, Jiva souls.

O.K. Airplane!! >>>>>

P.S. Read Krsna Enters Dvaraka, SB canto one. Jiva Goswami says hugs are O.K.

Hare Krishna Esteemed and beloved Gurudeva,

Please accept my humble obeisances,

All glories to Srila Prabhupada,

We are still on the run, struggling to be a sane Iskcon member!! reach the standard, join the two parts of the elephants.

We began this harinam / sankirtan program during the marathon and it was so extatic that we are going to continue it during january!! We go out chanting and distributing books before the sunday feast. Very nice program, kids like it a lot.

HpS - Invite nice people.

16 R 4 P ok, very little Fmp and no Fep. A little bit of reading. Bg, Sb, Cc, Kb, what is the difficulty by Srutakirti prabhu.

ASA - Early to bed and early to rise and Maya goes hunting for other guys.

We will be in bs as from 15 to 18 of january and in cordoba from 22 to 25 january to have your glorious association. Hope we can be of any use for your Sankirtan!!

ASA - Jaya.

We are trying to simplify our life to focus more and more in devotional service!

Thank you Gurudeva, you are like an utsaha booster, feeling your kindness and love increase our faith in the process, rasa!!

Trying to become your disciple,

Nikunja Bihari das.

Hare Krsna! Catching the airplane.
