Hare Krsna Beloved Gurudeva :

AGTSP ¡¡

PAMHO

I am taking exam in long distance education (yes on sunday) I am here at the university for 5 hours ¡¡ But while I am resting I have the opportunity to watch classes on Utube.. I saw some of HDG ¡¡¡ in Pirtuguese to practice my knowledge ¡¡¡ Then I listened to some of U ¡¡¡¡ and I found one class that disturbed me, well not a lot, but kind of, but as soon as I have a doubt or question I asked U ¡¡¡

Polygamy ¡¡¡ 

There U said:  minute 48:10 "we are kind of in favor of polygamy, we think is practical" 

Then U explained about the femenine nature that we are attached to one man ¡¡ MY DADDY, HE IS MY DADDY BACK OF, and that for a lady is imposible to give equal affection to a man, and that is TRUE ¡¡¡ and then I thought we are more "loyal" a man can think in more than one girl and for me that is unberable, well one may think, but flirting, and actually make contact, that is another thing, I can see a handsome guy on the street yes, and I can admire that, but if I am with someone for me is totally improper to even talk with him, but men are different for them flirt is not cheat... and then U said that monogamy is not working ¡¡¡ So ????? adultery is good???

Well one may say but GM said that ¡¡¡ or HpS said that ,and kind of justify their cheating ¡¡¡ maybe I am too naive ¡¡¡ jajajaja but I prefer to stay the way I am.

I am proud of my loyalty, if I am talking with ego, yes maybe, jaja, but I want to ask U all these because this really shocked me ¡¡¡ 

Thank U Gurudeva ¡¡¡

Now I continue working then to the temple to try to Glorify Srila Prabhupada ¡¡

See U soon

your eternal servant

UG - ASA -  AGTSP.  Thank you for your questions, CmDD!    This is Prof. G. Gismo here, also known and loved as "Uncle Gismo", by many.  HpSwami is rather incompetent in dealing with these topics, and often when you see Brother Ass talking about these things, it is not HpS who is in control any way. Often it is us. We hold this position of the President of the ASA Civil Deadman's Club, which is a kind of oxymoron we suppose, but, anyway, on to results.

Brother Ass, us, HpS, never, never, never, never said that Adultery was good.  We would be doubtful about saying that Polygamy is "good".  http://www.vedabase.com/en/sb/9/10/54 - "Purport:  Eka-patnī-vrata, accepting only one wife, was the glorious example set by Lord Rāmacandra. One should not accept more than one wife."
We would be more inclinded to say that in general, polygami is "passionate". Ksatriya's are in the mode of passion. Their work and character is in the mode of passion. Arjuna had several wives, no? Draupadi, Subhadra, Ulupi, Citrangada.

It is hard to understand this in the modern world. If he had four wives and nine children, then he probably had sexual relations nine times. So, mono-gamy, poly-gamy, certainly means something quite different than modern idea, which is very lacivious and non-Aryan, non-human.

Is O.K?

We recomend people chant Hare Krsna and follow four principles. Then if Krsna tells them to have kids, like Vasudeva and Devahuti, O.K.

He was also married to several of her sisters, and if one cannot control lust then, yes, relate that passion to Krsna by getting married and becoming father and mother of nice kids, Prabhupadas.

Practical question, if one cool dude, owner of two international businesses in Peru, in politics some times, became a devotee and then wanted to marry you and five more, no more, of the unmarried girls who joined about the same time as you, and all follow the four principles strictly and chant 16-rounds, when you had all just been intiated for about two years, do you think it would be a good emotional, social, spiritual arrangment?

Well, back to the Gismos. We are making a chapati making machine.

Gurudev forgives; a lot of time without japa joe.

Two complicated years: I was in bed for one year; pregnancy with danger of loss. And then the first year of the baby; I was tired. Today already I have a bit more of energy. I am Trying to return!

HpS - ASA --   Hare Krsna. Nice looking baby!    Good job, Mataji!   Lot's of work, but is easier the more we chant HK/HR, no?

We had to look up your Diksa name from your Secular name. We remember your Diksa name but have forgotten you form, character, pastimes!!   If Barrack Obama asked you, "who are you", what would you say?  If the Pope asked you?

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

    Gurudev, thank you so much. Marking the letter as Urgent as we have only remaining few days of Kartik Month....(2nd initiation).

    1. Regarding this, URL : http://www.hps.monkeywarrior.com/node/5829

       I am completely ready to do it by telephone in Pune. But have checked with Pune Temple, there will no 'Yagna' (Fire sacrifice),
       in coming days. That's why was heading for Vrndavana Temple.

       Please let me know your input.

    2. Regarding this, URL : http://www.hps.monkeywarrior.com/node/5830

       Thank you so much for clear sight. i would be very happy to assist "university programs", need next 6 month time to prepare myself
       as currently already in process of a planned preaching Program, so it will take some time to finish. Hope to finish in next 6 months.
       then would fully focus on "university programs".

       What is VAD?......and i am fully ready for preparing for full renunciation, Sannyasa.

HpS - ASA --- AGTSP. paoho... VAD=VaranAshramaDharma

       As you said "Learn how to communicate and preach.", Please guide me about it for better preparation and better result for Prabhupada.

 your fallen servant,
Girivaradhari-Gopal Das

HpS - When will next sacrifice be in Pune?  That would be best time.

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

    Gurudev, some time, i feel, i should left the material life and go to Vrndavana and live a spiritual life....do sadna, read scriptures.

    As the donkey is getting older of this human life and am loosing days of this human life,......every moment.

    My nature is like a 'Saadak' so like Sadna, reading, deity worship, glorification of lord.  
    but have less knowledge. Need more clarity on what to left, where to go, what to do for
    best utilization of this human life.

    Please let me know if you have any thing for me.

your fallen servant,
Girivaradhari-Gopal Das

HpS - ASA --- We are trying to develop these university programs with Dr. Samaresha so you can please help with that. In SB 1.17.38, I think, Srila Prabhupada says that girls should be married by 16-years old and boys by 25-years  or take Sannyasa. Of course, that may be in the ideal situation in the future, but in many ways it can be true. If you are doing regular Sadhana for several years, then you begin to see you VAD. O.K. Maybe your should think of staying as a B'cari and preparing for full renunciation, Sannyasa. Of course, Sannyasa is very good as a means to study and read and do austerities to get knowledge to help others. Learn how to communicate and preach.

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

    Gurudev, Hope you are good in Health and doing good.

    Just to inform you that, probably, i won’t be able to go Vrndavana this Kartik, as i am
    not getting tickets.This means, i won't be able to get 2nd initiation on this Kartik.

    Sadna is going on as usual.

    Please let me know if you have any thing for me.

your fallen servant,
Girivaradhari-Gopal Das

HpS - Why not do it by telephone in Pune? That is your Temple, no?

Here we are, Monkey/Piggy. It is 6.24PM.   We had many adventures today. We read one chapter of "From Good to Great". As suggested by Srinivasa Das, it has many of the same conclusion about successful management tasks as we have. Very useful for us.
Also, Lokannatha Das, our old Puppetteer friend called from San Francisco. He has Parkinson's syndrome now. It is nice. Pushes him off the gross platform.
Daniel and Alysya came to visit from Murari farm, so we talked for our one hour. Lot of little details. Getting ready for the education meetings in Texas. We reviewed our India travel and discovered that we had booked the Nashville, Newark flight backwards, so we had to change it and it cost us $200!   Feeble minded, but also so many details in traveling so much.

That's basically it.  Talk with NGD every night and read world history.

Gaura arati, Krsna book, Kirtan.

Take rest!!
