Estimado Gurudeva le escribi un reporte hace aproximadamente una semana u 8 dias y no lo estoy viendo publicado

Queria saber si lo habia recibido. Creo haberlo enviado correctamente.

Acepte mis reverencias por favor.

mangalananda das.

HpS - ASA - Super, super, super carta. TlgaSP.    pfanrh....  Si, es bueno escribir "Urgente" si no hay respuesta despues de 3-dias (mas on menos).  Intentamos responder despues de 3-days, pero a veces demurrando como 6-dias. Su carta dice 6-dias, 19-horas. Poco retrasado por la presion de fin de semana de Govardhana Puja, Prabhupada Puja etc.
Pero hoy dia estuviamos (we were going) contestarla.

urgent - India calendar

AGTSP!!!

PAMHO,
Dear Guru Maharaja,

I check your calendar:

7th-30th March, India (Plan Calcutta, Manipur, Mayapura for three weeks, Bombay for two weeks, Vraja for one week?)

Did you know when you arrive to each place?  Because my intention is follow you. I have to buy the tickets, because of that I ask, to take the same plane or at least can be in the same place.

THANK YOU. Forgive me for ask you something. I hope my Karma let me serve you in Holy Dham.

Your servant.
Rati Manjari DD

HpS - ASA  -  AGTSP paoho....

Thank you for your valuable question.

1. We have the basic ticket: Jet Airways - EWR to BRU to DEL, Wed 17 Feb, 6.30PM ... 10.45PM, Thu 18 Feb.

Leaving DEL 30th Mar, 2.45AM for BRU (Spain).

2. After that we still have not yet bought the local tickets. Seems that we are still O.K. on those. We are trying to fix the exact local times now, but is still not certain: Eg How much time we will spend in Kolkata, Mayapura etc.

3. We are a Civil Deadman eg. In Kolkatta we will be staying some nights in the ISKCON Temple, some nights with Dr. Samaresh etc. We can try to give general dates, but you can count very, very little for us in terms of specific accomodations etc. Of course, we can give advice about which trains are the best etc.

4. Really as a girl, going for first time, you should 125% be going with someone else. Staying and traveling with someone else.

O.K?

Sankirtan Leader Reporting

 Gauranga. I am in Mayapur by the mercy of Lord
 Nityananda..  After mangal arotik I took the local bus
 down to the Yoga Pitha and walked the rest of the way to the
 village where I get my milk. The people live there self
 sufficiently in family harmony. 
 This  evening I went to Prabhupada's samadhi to finish my
 rounds. After they were done I felt like I should try and do
 some sankirtan. A devotee was on the top level trying to
 distribute books to the many .visitors that came up
 the stairs. I was surprised on how tough of a crowd they
 were. They came to enjoy a day at the theme park, not
 inquire into transcendental knowledge.
 I tried to use my being a foreigner to
 get them to halt and take the book. We got one family to
 almost buy, but they said that they don't speak Bengali
 and we did not have any hindi books. Then three young guys
 together came along and 2 of them bought. 
 I hope this meets you well. Mishra

Oink!   Grank!  WHoop!
We are exhausted. It is 3.34PM.    We have done 11-rounds, two Gayatris, little cleaning, little house work. Lots of fruit (juice) and little Yogurt and Nuts, all the letters in Yahoo.com and Blog, up to three days ago.

Now we want to quit....

[Read about 15-pages. FMP. Called Manis about NIOS tax filings. Has taken a LOT of effort to get it done, and we are not the Secretary nor a Director!]

No Lofty learning.

No, NIOS - India.

No, PPTX for tomorrow morning or evening.

We are basically demons.

Monkey/Piggy - Maybe you are just hungry?

HpS/ Brother Ass - Hmfff!    Yes, a little more Prasadam, but real thing is the mind. We have to merge the mind in transcendence. We are actually getting a headache from this mental work. We need intellectual work now. The mind and senses going into ignorance.
All the letters were super, no?  Jorge's poetry was nice.
This movement goes on by the mercy of its Mothers.

O.K. We'll chant Hare Krsna and see you on the "other side", Mangala arati!!!!!!
 

[We wear Sannyasa dress when we go to the market etc. here, I don't see much reaction from the store manager et al, but if we think about it, what can they say. It must be like seeing a Kangaroo in your Kroeger's market at 7AM in the morning. They must remark about it to their co-employees. Who was that Buddhist Monk. He was buying glue and orange juice, just like and ordinary human being!]

Discerning what works and what not [continued] - part 2

In reasponse to :

HpS - ASA --- AGTSP ... I guess the basic idea is whether Krsna was happy after the Battle of Kuruksetra or not, no?   Did Yuddhistira feel that he had eliminated a government and governors that weren't working?

In the end Bhisma convinced him that he had eliminate the right things.

What do you think of:

http://www.vedabase.com/en/sb/1/9/12  ????

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Dear Guru Maharaj, PAMHO AGTSP

Here are my thoughts on the subject matter...

Krsna wanted to establish dharmic kingdom, so He was happy after the battle. From that point of view.

Yudhisthira was not happy, thinking that "so many killings are there just so I be the king." But Bhisma convinced him that it is how it had to happen. 

Then SB 1.9.12 says: "As long as a person is fully in cooperation with the wishes of the Lord, guided by the bona fide brāhmaṇas and Vaiṣṇavas and strictly following religious principles, one has no cause for despondency, however trying the circumstances of life." [side note: interesting how the robot put the word "brahmanas" in small letters].

Following that paragraph, I would say that:

1.whatever project works in cooperation with the Lord,
2. is guided by the bona fide brahmanas and Vaisnavas and
3.is strictly following religious principles, 

is pleasing to  Krsna. And that project WORKS.  

Now, the challenge is  to reassess the project by using these 3 points. <img alt="enlightened" height="23" src="http://hps-d6.monkeywarrior.com/sites/all/libraries/ckeditor/plugins/smiley/images/lightbulb.png" title="enlightened" width="23" />  That is quiet enough of work! (For those who want to do it).

Guru Maharaja, do you want to add something more to this topic? Are my thoughts going in proper direction?

Your servant Namacarya das
 

HpS - AGTSP. Seems nice, no? Religious principles seems to be 16-nice rounds and 4-regulative principles, no? Of course, Morning Program, is 99.97% required for the rounds and principles, no?

God, the Brahmanas, and Vedic Scriptures.

Chant Hare Krsna properly: God

Brahmanas: 6-ISKCON devotees

Vedic Scriptures: P'pada's books!!

Even if you go to hell then for your choices you will have your bead bag, kartals, Krsna book and six ISKCON devotees with you.  ISKCON Hell, Ki Jai!

But the first one seems to be the basis. Without it 2 and 3 don't work so well.

Send 'em all Back to Godhead and let the Gopis sort 'em out.

tad viddhi praṇipātena…

Hare Krishna Maharaja, Pamho, AgtSP.

Yes; to go to Vrindavan.
Maha-bhavi Manager temple; he went to Vrindavan for two weeks.
Murari-caytania is my faithful companion;
He is Lithuanian; He is married, and his son Arjuna.
He is good; chants the holy name. he has 30 years and is a carpenter; his family is in Lithuania.
just us two here.
Yesterday at the party on Sunday; Marga-mana gave the class; Yudistira cook; I clean the bathrooms.
Sanatani and Yudistira are married and two children; kamala-gopi, and Noah, he has another mother.
Marga-mana is married; two children.
His guru fell down.

HpS - Let's hope he gets back up (In a wonderful way!)

Many more details! Gustav is a bhakta with enthusiasm.
ISKCON norway ... the lotus feet of Prabhupada!

-First pure knowledge.
-Come up to the eternal platform.
- .........
jaya Rama ekadasi!

Well, time flew.
the new year is almost here.
Krishna consciousness, such an interesting thing.
we do this because we think it is good; and we will not go to hell.
but the Cowherd Boys do not know "who is God"
umm ...
that's a little strange ...

HpS - Are you sure Krsna is God?   Hmmmmm?    Or would you just love Him because you love Him, even if you might go to hell. Of course, Hell is forgeting Krsna, no?

and what is the name of the mother of Krishna's flute ???
This seems more complicated than I thought.
And what about Putana?

HpS - ASA -  She is the sister of ....(?).
Prabhupada: This movement is for the first class of men.
but that kind of intelligence is that???

HpS - Even if has third or fifth class habits, cow killer, when he hears to Message from the Messenger, Prabhupada, then he is honest with himself, admits his problem. Trys to change, and then P'pada, ISKCON, give him, us, 1st class habits. O.K???
We are looking for 1st class men (at heart) and giving them 1st class habits.

Hare Krishna Hare Krishna
Krishna Krishna
hare hare
Hare Rama Hare Rama
Rama Rama Hare Hare

Maharaj muchas gracias - Thank you very much for your support!

HpS - Thank you very much for your leadership. Sounds like you have a good team there. Get to work! Make it a great team. Do something in the time you have.
