Mis reverencias Gurudeva

9 years, 7 months ago by mangalanandadas in Personal Sadhana Reports

Hare Krshna Gurudeva

Todas las glorias sean para Srila Prabhupada.

Todas las glorias para su santidad Hanumat Presaka Swami.

Todas las Glorias a mis hermanos espirituales.

Ante todo Siempre agradecerle por todo lo que me da y le da a tantas entidades vivientes que se encuentran en mi deplorable estado. Transitando este mundo material con mas cautela y un poco menos de pasion (intentando) para no cometer los mismos errores que queremos dejar atras. Muy enfocado a mi deber de padre, intentando dar lo mejor que tengo (comprendiendolo como mi servicio en este momento).

El relacionamiento es por carreteras de borrascosas de tierra y a veces por autopistas muy dinamicas, pero estamos moldeando a alguien como Radhe Gopinatha de rigida estructura y mente fuerte y de raices profundas por naturaleza (regido en el zodiaco por Tauro). Terco, pero conversamos mucho.

Krshna lo controla todo y me coloco a mi (Cancer) para formarlo mas poeticamente, el agua de manera leve humedece la tierra para que sea mas maleable cuando hay que construir.

Hay mucho amor entre nosotros dos y quiero a Krshna en el centro, como el sustentador de todo.(enseñandole esto). Muchos pequeños problemas materiales con los cuales lidiamos diariamente ,que en realidad no son problemas cuando salimos del cuadro y ampliamos la perspectiva.

Aun viviendo con mi madre, terminando de solucionar algunas detalles de nuestra relacion que viene del pasado, por eso el karma aun no me deja salir,pero la idea es casa propia en breve.

Vamos siempre al templo,minimo una vez por semana amo la asociacion de los vaisnavas. Empezando Harinam los viernes.Cantando 16 rondas diarias,4 principios regulativos,escribiendo muchas reflexiones despues de la japa.Es fantastico.

Leyendo bastante (estudiando nuevamente Versos Bhakti sastri del Gita), PNL(programacion Neurolenguistica) y Guerrero espiritual 4 de Bhaktitirtha swami . La unica minima ansiedad es que aun no soy millonario, pero tiempo al tiempo.De a momentos con mucha pasion y muchos proyectos,y luego viviendo el presente nuevamente. Me gusta por que realizo cada vez en que momento la ignorancia me cubre y en que momento un poco menos. Pero en algunas oportunidades me puedo situar como observador de mi propia vida.

Con muchos deseos de charlar mas intimamente con usted y apenas pueda intentar ayudarlo en su predica. Siempre estamos haciendo Sankirtana.

Lo quiero mucho Gurudeva,a mi manera(espero aprender a quererlo correctamente).Le mando mis reverencias a sus gloriosos pies de loto sepa siempre que intento ser conciente de usted y deseo ser su sirviente para que me lleve con Srila Prabhupada...

Mi meta es Sri Vrndavana Dham y solo a traves de usted eso se puede conseguir. Para servirlo de la mejor manera que un tonto lo puede hacer.

Jaya Srila Prabhpada

Jaya Gurudeva

Jaya Radhe Syam

Jaya Sri Vrndavana Dham

HpS - ASA -  TlgaSP. Conteste a esta carta anterior, no?

Concurso para el diseño del LOGOTIPO DE LA REVISTA SOLARIS

9 years, 7 months ago by abhiramdas in Hot Topics

Hare Krishna Querido Gurudeva, por favor acepte mis humildes reverencias. Todas las Glorias a Srila Prabhupada!!, Todas las Glorias a Hanumatpresaka Swami!!

Continuando con las actividades de la revista estamos invitando a toda la comunidad de devotos y público en general a participar del Concurso para el DISEÑO DEL LOGOTIPO DE LA REVISTA SOLARIS. Tenemos muchas limitaciones (personales y logísticas) pero estamos laborando  con optimismo y fe en este sankirtana académico y cultural para su placer y el de Srila Prabhupada, por eso humildemente les pedimos a los devotos que divulguen y participen de esta convocatoria. Ayer hablando con un lingüista amigo me decía que entusiasmo en griego significa "tener a Dios dentro de sí" eso me hizo recordar a Paramatma y a las instrucciones de Rupa goswami en el NOI 3 "Uno puede tener éxito en la ejecución del proceso de bhakti- yoga, si lo realiza con pleno entusiasmo, perseverancia y determinación, siguiendo los deberes prescritos en compañía de los devotos, y dedicándose por entero a actividades propias de la bondad" Muchas gracias. Hare Krishna!!

Continuing with the activities of the magazine we are inviting the entire community of devotees and public in general to participate in the competition to design the  LOGO of SOLARIS MAGAZINE. We have many limitations (personal and logistics) but we are working with optimism and faith in the academic and cultural sankirtana for yours and Srila Prabhupada ‘s pleasure and that, humbly asked  the devotees to publicize and participate in this call. Yesterday talking to a linguist friend told me that enthusiasm in Greek means "having God within" that reminded me of Paramatma and instructions Rupa Goswami in the NOI 3 "One can succeed in the execution in the process of bhakti yoga, if one performes it with full enthusiasm, perseverance and determination, by following the prescribed duties in the association of devotees, and devoted himself entirely to activities in goodness" Thank you. Hare Krishna !!

CONTEST FOR THE DESIGN OF THE LOGO – SOLARIS MAGAZINE

Purpose Statement

The main reason that encourages us to make this publishing project a reality, is that as human beings, we have the ability to develop a level of consciousness higher than the prevailing paradigm, which does not deal with such essential topics as: who am I ?, What is death ?, What is the purpose of life ?, What are the highest achievable aspirations? From this rostrum we hope to help explain these issues.

The vast majority of media that circulates only report material comfort, and they, morbidly emphasize violence, death, social and individual frustrations. Through Solaris we will present reflections that will reveal that all that unhappiness is not only caused by political, social and economic problems, but also the reflection of a world in which the mind and heart of most people support only in worldly values, despising spiritual values.

The name SOLARIS is due to in all classical cultures the sun represents or has been connected with the life, light and wisdom (he is associated as cause motive or reason). Also for its algorithmic sense because in the same way that the rotation of the sun indicates that a day has ended and another is about to begin, in the same way, in SOLARIS we propose to take advantage of the wisdom of the past, not live blindly in the present and build a better future for all, ergo, our aim is to rediscover and tackle, with honesty and sustained knowledge the mystery of: where are we going?

Competition Rules

  1. The logo design is intended to be the representative image of the magazine for its publication and all dissemination of its information (print, video, web page, etc.).
  2.  The logo must represent the purpose of the magazine (stated in the introduction) and its reflexive and diffusing nature as a tool for cultivation of the human spirit.

                                                                                   Director                                                                     Editor

CONCURSO PARA EL DISEÑO DEL LOGOTIPO DE LA REVISTA SOLARIS

DECLARACION DE PROPOSITO:

El principal motivo que nos anima a convertir este proyecto editorial en una realidad, es que, como seres humanos, tenemos la capacidad de desarrollar un nivel de conciencia más elevado que el paradigma predominante, el cual no se ocupa de tópicos tan esenciales como: ¿Quién soy?, ¿Qué es la muerte?, ¿Cuál es el propósito de la vida?, ¿Cuáles son las más elevadas aspiraciones alcanzables por los seres humanos? Desde esta tribuna esperamos ayudar a explicar estos temas.

La gran mayoría de medios que circulan solo informan del confort material, y ellos, morbosamente enfatizan la violencia, la muerte y las frustraciones sociales e individuales. A través de SOLARIS presentaremos reflexiones que nos permitirán descubrir que toda esa infelicidad no sólo es causada por problemas políticos, sociales y económicos, sino que también es el reflejo de un mundo en el cual la mente y el corazón de la mayoría de las personas se sustentan solo en valores mundanos, menospreciando los valores espirituales. 

El nombre SOLARIS se debe a que en todas las culturas clásicas el sol representa o ha estado conectado con la vida, la luz y la sabiduría (se le relaciona como causa motivo o razón).  También por su sentido algorítmico ya que de la misma forma que la rotación del sol indica que un día ha concluido y otro está por iniciarse, similarmente, en SOLARIS proponemos tomar ventaja de la sabiduría del pasado, para no vivir ciegamente en el presente y  construir un futuro mejor para todos, es decir, nuestra finalidad es redescubrirnos y tratar de resolver, con honestidad y conocimiento sustentado, el misterio de: ¿a dónde vamos?

Bases

  1. El Diseño del logotipo está destinado a ser la imagen representativa de la revista para su publicación y toda difusión de información sobre la misma (Impresos, videos, página web, etc).
  2. El logotipo deberá representar el sentido de la revista (expuesto en la introducción) y su naturaleza reflexiva y difusora de los valores propios como herramienta para el cultivo del espíritu humano.
  3. Los concursantes podrán participar de manera personal o colectiva. La participación en el concurso presupone la aceptación de las presentes bases en todos sus términos.
  4. El diseño será original e inédito y puede ser mono color, bicolor, tricolor o a todo color.
  5. Las propuestas se enviarán al e-mail: [email protected].  Los diseños se entregaran en formato JPG o PDF en tamaño A4 y en buena resolución (mínimo 300 puntos por pulgada).
  6. Plazo de entrega: la fecha límite para el envío del logotipo es el 21 de diciembre de 2015.
  7. Jurado calificador: • SS Hanumatpresaka Swami, Secretario General de NIOS                                                                                                                                                                               • Ramón Mujica Pinilla, Director Nacional de la Biblioteca Nacional del Perú.                                                                                                                                       • Juan Pedro Egoavil Trigos, maestro destacado, catedrático de la Escuela Nacional de Bellas Artes del Perú.

Polygamy is good???

9 years, 7 months ago by candra108_mukhi in Special Category A, Hot Topics

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 ¡¡¡

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=spyi_LBBs1M

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

CMDD

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?

[Really handsome guy [Picture follows]]

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

AGTSP! PAMHO *Gurudev*

9 years, 7 months ago by Yamila Sandivara in Personal Sadhana Reports

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!

Vamshi was born on October 28, 2014 (photo)

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 Gurudev - Urgent

9 years, 7 months ago by Gopal C Biswas in Personal Sadhana Reports

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 Gurudev

9 years, 7 months ago by Gopal C Biswas in Personal Sadhana Reports

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.
