All Glories To You my Gurumaharaha!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My SB comment you asked for: 😊

This was incredible to me.

It happened around the day of Your vyasa puja 2023.

After work, before going home, I went online to look for some photos of You to make the video I made as an offering to You and Srila Prabhupada!

And I found a page that said it was dedicated to criticizing ISKCON. I was shocked that someone could waste their time like that. Of course, I didn't even open it. I was scared, because the internet can be very dangerous too.

But the most surprisingly sweet thing was that just that morning before leaving home, the verse from Srimad Bhagavatam I was assigned to read that day was verse 37 of the chapter: The Lord Who Is in the Heart, from Canto 2.

 In the final part of the purport, Srila Prabhupada spoke precisely as follows:

"If someone does not purify himself through the practice of bhakti yoga, he must be a pseudo-devotee. For such an imposter, there is no remedy that can free him from material entanglement." I felt: Srila Prabhupada is watching over me!!! For me, ever since I saw him in photos and read his books, I felt like my true father, and that feeling has only intensified and continues to intensify.

HpS - Radha criticizes Candravali, and Candravali criticizes Her, yet They are cousins and they love each other like anything!

Hmmm. 😟

Please forgive any unintentional offenses committed in this letter.

And please accept respectful and loving obeisances from Gopal, Franco, and myself at your divine and merciful lotus feet.

May our Krishna continue to bless and protect you abundantly!!!

Please forgive my unintentional offenses

always trying to please Her beautiful lotus heart:

P.S. I just edited my previous letters and made them shorter for you. And I just read your responses to Candramukhi Devi Dasi and Prabhu Gadai. Thank you so much, beloved Gurudeva, for letting us know more about the wonderful gopis and the three levels! May everything improve in ISKCON Peru! Here in Argentina, there are so many problems with inflation, but I read a wise person say that if everything is fine, then how can we bring out the fighter within us? It's in these difficult times that our qualities emerge to overcome the situation, and they come to light because there is no other alternative!

HpS - Real wealth is land, cows and brahmanas. Invest in teachers and teaching!??

Hare Krishna adored and always remenbered Guru Maharaja please accept my obeisances at your lotus feet 🙏💐🌻🌼🌷💐

All glories to Srila Prabhupada !!!

I pray at Your lotus feet that my service may be accepted.

Please forgive me for any offense. Every day I learn how to serve better.

The video I made is a wonderful song dedicated to Sri Gauranga: GAURANGA KARUNA KORO I heard it a while ago when Franco downloaded it. And I longed to know the meaning so I could dance to it. So inspiring!!!

I've also uploaded my video offering to Sri Nityananda, "Nadiya Godrume," with English subtitles especially for You and to make it more accessible to English speakers. Here it is:

Thank you for your advice Gurumaharaja. They really inspire me a lot🙏🙏🙏🌷🌼💥.

I really don't think I have any sankirtan partners yet. 😊🙏

Thank you for your time!

Please forgive my unintentional offenses

Always trying to please you: J.P.Radha dd

P.S. I performed this dance with the strongest intention in my heart to fulfill His request of years ago. Perform a dance of Sri Gauranga dancing in front of Lord Jagannath's chariot!

HpS - ASA ---- Thank you!!!!!!

Spontaneous dancing is Kirtan and Bhajan is the highest perfection of life!

HK Maharaj! PAMHO AGTSP!

All glories to Sri Sri Guru and Gauranga!!

How are you?? Where are you now? How’s your health doing??

HpS/ASA - You, agtSP!, missed the third universal question: What are you doing?

1. How are you and your health?: Physically we could be worse. Our eyes are aching. They do not focus well anymore etc. Everyone of our readers has chronic and intermittent bodily dysfunction. When our body is not longer capable of dancing in ecstasy, then it is time to look for another? . . . Mind tends to become angry if we are alone too much. . . . Spiritually we are advancing! We can chant in ecstasy most anytime, especially during the Temple programs.
2. Where are you?: That one we have already mentioned several times! 😦 Unless we die, we are Camped at ISKCON Houston, Texas, USA, until Janmastami.
3. What are you doing?: Answering mail. Chanting Holy Names for the satisfaction of Srila Prabhupada's lotus feet. Thankful for your association and others in this Blog 🐸 🐸 🐸 🐦 🐮 Planning on chanting and let whatever plans, thoughts, memories, come serve the Hari kirtan.

Firstly I want to thank you for being present during tough times. Here I’ve been better, with my sadhana, work and in general.

I’ve been waking up early and chanting a minimum of 6 rounds, and gradually increasing that number.

Also I’ve been more stable with my diet and health. I’m usually cooking myself every meal, almost everything I eat is homemade, so I’ve been very grateful for that.

ASA [🐵 🐖 🐖 ] - - Hero of Yoga 🏅 !!!

I been following certain routine, and working with the habits record: I have a bucket list of daily goals to achieve (are almost every day the same) and just go through it checking what I’ve achieved, it helps me to keep on with certain habits I’ve set as life goals.

ASA - Read one big business executive. He said that the priority list of things to do is more important than the calendar. Jaya!

Also been listening to a lot of Christian music, it really encourages me in spiritual life. I sing some of those songs as well and play the guitar along, here’s a song I’ve recorded in English https://www.instagram.com/reel/DC-uhgdtMJmgQHQb9vHvV5LqTTiLz3yDZcp8C40/?igsh=MTR1NGJxeHQ5bGRuMQ==

ASA 🚙 - Followed the link and it would not open. Said it was a Private Account.

I’m also getting out of some debts I have, and well I got another job which aids me economically, since in my usual job I’ve got my working hours reduced.

I’m practicing Portuguese as well and started taking classes. At the language exchange club I attend we started with a Portuguese group some time ago.

And I started learning at my own pace some French. I really have a passion for languages and well now I’m exploiting that.

I kept reading daily my goals for each quarter and well also my yearly goals. I read a phrase from Emerson which stated: “Don’t be pushed by your problems, be led by your dreams” So I set some really big goals and dreams for myself, now I have something to struggle for, in concrete.

Maharaj I’ve been living deeply the grace of Krishna, I pray to him that one day every soul will be free.

well hope to hear back from you soon and that you are always well!!

HK!!

dandavats!!

Federico Molnar

HpS/ASA - Thank you Federico. Are you Italian??? Are you an engineer?



I get about three times as much mail per day as I can handle.

A lot of it is redundant eg. where are you, what are you doing, what do you think about this topic.

A lot of it is also quite important, so the Blog is the only solution we have to deal with this.

It eliminates the redundancy and puts people in touch with other people with the same service concerns.

Hare Krsna.

💪💪💪🐕

Todas las Glorias a Srila Prabhupada!!!

Hare Krishna Guru Maharaja, por favor reciba mis respetuosas reverencias, espero se encuentre bien de salud.

Tengo algunas preguntas:

¿Se puede renunciar a ISKCON, sabiendo muy bien que la relación Guru-discípulo nunca se rompe?

Vemos que hoy en día autoridades locales hacen lo que quieren, especialmente en ISKCON-PERÚ, como si Iskcon fuera el congreso ordinario de la república del Perú. Algunos devotos quieren irse, no quieren hundirse con el barco, también ¿que podrían hacer? entonces...

Ésta administración de ISKCON-PERÚ ya es una dictadura, o es que ¿así verdaderamente funcionan las cosas?

pero, ¿como podría funcionar, si no les interesa la prédica y solo les interesa tener la billetera gorda?

¿como encontrar la protección adecuada sin cometer ofensas y no irse al infierno?

MUCHOS no quieren meter la mano, más bien se las lavan como Poncio Pilato y los pocos que tratan de hacer algo son sancionados y sancionados.

Disculpe si estoy siendo ofensivo con mis palabras..

Hare Krishna Guru Maharaja

All glories to Srila Prabhupada!!!

Hare Krishna, Guru Maharaja, please accept my respectful obeisances. I hope you are in good health.

HpS - Our bodies, agtSP, do not get diseases. They are diseases. My body is like your body! 😆

I have a few questions:

Can one resign from ISKCON, knowing full well that the Guru-disciple relationship is never broken?

HpS - Candra mukhi Devi Dasi asked similar question in here post like yesterday or so. If you read that, https://monkeywarrior.com/detail/15575/, I think it will help but...

We see that these days local authorities do whatever they want, especially in ISKCON-PERU, as if ISKCON were the ordinary congress of the Republic of Peru. Some devotees want to leave; they don't want to go down with the ship. So, what could they do?

This ISKCON-PERU administration is already a dictatorship, or is that really how things work?

But how could it work if they aren't interested in preaching and are only interested in keeping their wallets fat?

How can one find adequate protection without committing offenses and going to hell?

Many don't want to interfere; instead, they just brush it off like Pontius Pilate, and the few who try to do something are punished and punished.

Excuse me if I'm being offensive with my words.

Hare Krishna, Guru Maharaja

Gadai Gauranga Dasa

HpS ... we can reiterate what we said to Candra-mukhi Devi Dasi on same topic.

To our understanding from the KRSNA book the Gopis live at three levels and this can be applied perfectly to ISKCON:

1. They are good citizens of Nanda Maharaja's village. They pay their taxes, barter over the price of yogurt. Complain about things that they think are wrong. This is ISKCON at the institutional level.
2. They have their circle of friends within the institution. The Temple President's closest friend may be the Temple pot washer. The Gopis look around to see who is looking at them milking cows and then begin to talk confidentially with other Gopis, their brothers et al.
3. They each experience a direct relationship with Krsna. Of course, this is through so many transparent via media, but those media are transparent, even unconsciously. We, you, me, must be experiencing a transparent, direct relationship with Srila Prabhupada. By the nature of the internally potency you are Srila Prabhupada's most intimate disciple. In our service as 'guru' in ISKCON we only try to act as that media.

We have, and are, personally experiencing this and know others who have, are, also.

You also?

Never leave SRILA PRABHUPADA's ISKCON!

Never be afraid to act with enthusiasm, bravery and honesty, to serve at all three levels.

If there are problems in the Institution, then maybe they are there to just get Peruvian devotees to make improvements, solve problems that will lead the entire world.

There is no restriction to you taking Sannyasa, becoming Chairman of the GBC!

• daily joining shyama-sundara das' excellent online japa program at 2am for about two weeks now. it has improved our japa by 100%.

(We would suggest that others might like to join us, but sometimes we don't do things like that as a Test to see who is motivated personally to do things?) 😎

Good night.
