Toda Gloria a Srila Prabhupada

Por favor acepte mis humildes reverencias

Hare Krishna Querido Gurudev

 Si quiere comunicar en privada de unas cosas,

si puede,..... voy a tener algunas reuniones con Maharaja Gunagrahi en unos 20 dias, y las Autoridades administrativas, voy a tener que pararme  bien,  bueno, entiendo la diplomacia religiosa, y se mantener lo que pienso, hay una buena relacion salvando las diferencias...Quizas el tema aqui lo cual no quiero extender mucho publicamente, Quizas lo que he visto con los años es que el sistema de funcionamiento del templo es que muchas veces produce y colapsa en un ciclo de tiempo, desde que fue Creado....,para seguir hablando

 Espero que puede adjustar su situacion de Ashrama un poco mejor!!!!    Pienso es posible.​

Si, esto es  lo que pienso, voy a ajustarme y tambien las autoridades me dan algunas facilidades..... Y me Recuerdo cuando Srila Prabhupada dijo que el 50% de su obra estaba lista , solo falta el otro50% El Varna Asram Dharma, veo que estoy improvisando en un monton de cosas, tengo algunas Ideas , me gustaria en un futuro poder ayudar en el desarrollo del Asram de Brahmacaris, lo cual veo como recien nacido, por lo antes dicho, ya que en los templos de Sud America se los puede ayudar a los  brahmacaris  en general a lo sumo 5 a 10  años y despues no esta claro el lugar para que pueda mantenerse y seguir desarrollandose, 

En relacion con Filosofia,voy a cursar lentamnete la carrera, no quiero tener mas predominancia de asociacion con cuetiones materiales  que espiritual , a la vez quiero probar, por que si funciona voy a ampliar mis capacidades en la predica,y si no me funciona  lo dejo,

Mi deseo es madurar mi relacion Con SRI SRI RADHA KRISHNA, PANCA TATTVA, PARAM PARA,SRILA PRABHUPADA Y USTED, asi como con todos los devotos

Siento que Krishna ha quitado en gran parte el miedo de adentro mio, y me a dado confianza de como actuar para agradarle a El ,

Ezforzandome por merecer el Prema Bhakti, he intentando por todos los medios de evitar las ofensas,y controlar la lengua, con gran entusiamos a pesar  de las dificultades

Muchas gracias, Usted hace que mi vida sea mas Bienaventurada y Dichosa, que seria de Mi sin Usted

Su Sirviente Adi Yajña Das

HpS - ASA - agtsp. paoho. pienso que toda esta carta es publico, no?    claro, hay cosas privados en cual quiere institucion, familia, equipo de futbol, candraval-radharani.

PAMHO

Thank U GM for all iur effort,inspiration and association.. FMP, Twiteer, blog, etc.

GM Ramvijaya is comming and I have 2 doubts:

Which topics a person who is going to give the class that day may discuss? What should we read, sing?

And Putana represents false guru, so ravana what represents. When we throw rocks to Ravana what are we actually doing?  Thank u in advance

GM this is not related to the topic but I was looking my pictures and I found some of ulyses when he was a baby.. and i thought when is this ulyses now.. jaja.. I realized that we are changing bodies within this life also. I am attaching some pictures.

Thanks in advance

Iur eternal servant

HpS - ASA - AGTSP!!!   Paoho.  Thank you for your Bhakti!         I think there are some Rama-vijaya, Lanka-vijaya verses in the Ramayan section of the Ninth Canto. Also, Krsna-dharma's Ramayana is in English at vedabase.com.

All the deomons and what they represent are by Bh.Vinode Th. and are from Krsna lila.   I don't know how Ravana "represents" any thing.   Throwing rocks is just to help Rama defeat Ravana. Of course, we think of our own demoniac desires, deep in our hearts, and throwing rocks at Ravana is aiming to destroy them!

Cute pictures!     I guess if puppies weren't cute then their parents would eat them.   Ha!   Ha!   Ha!

Have you done a bio-graphy with your mother yet?     Ask her about here life, how things were growing up.  Good for her to look at her life and judge it.  Good for us to see how the world has developed.

Hare Krsna Guru maharaja,

AGTSP!

We hope you feel better from pain GM,

HpS - ASA -  AGTSP!!!!    Paoho...    "Pain is fear escaping from the body" - Marine Corp

We are improving little in Japa, but we keep chanting too fast maybe, like the world is going to end...

ASA - Are you trying to finish your rounds quickly???

Nice to have all this asociation from all spiritual family.

HpS - ISKCON, ISKCON, ISKCON - Founder Acharya, Ki Jai!​

Our husband is out of the country working for the past 3 months, coming back in 3 months more, really hoping less!

HpS - Please!! Give your regards to him and tell him that whatever little association we have had with him has always been wonderful.

All children homeschooling, which is a little of a nightmare sometimes. working from home (2 jobs), we are improving programs at the temple. all principles ok, but we drank chai couple of times, we really needed de energy. most of the day we are like zombies rooming around. and we felt really bad about it, because we liked it.

Guru Maharaja, we had a meeting on sunday with temple authorities and finally after years of talk, we are ready to set an all girl gurukul in vrindavan (i would prefered to be mix) and we are in charge of investigating and try to put togheter the curricular program. so we have a degree in education, but is most reserch than field.      so our experience is inclining us to try to use a gideline in a more "unconventional" way... we studied professor Paulo Freire's work, madam Montessori and A. S. Neill... and a whole lot of Noam chomsky and Humberto Maturana.  We need to talk with some teachers of succesfull Gurukulas and Curricular professional. because this need to work, yes or yes.  and it better be good, because im about to dedicate my life for this mission, wich we have always run away from, but Radharani keeps puting it in front of our face, over and over.

they (authorities) are telling us that boy Gurukula is moving to a different location soon, new buildings are to be finish soon, and they will give us some place in the old gurukula.

any suggestions?

we have a meeting this sunday 5pm we are prepering Powerpoint of our ideas.

Please Guru Maharaja, give us blessings so this works, so i can work... this has to hapen (we think)

on another subject:

question:

so in college we studie some theater. we liked the work of konstantin stanislavski. we always had a thought.... and in his books, his metodology he talks so much about emotional memory. we read the NOD and we think it is somewhat alike... to feel what we can't remember or what we are not feeling in the moment. and how to get in touch with them... also the mood (as we think) of Bhaktivinod Thakur?... are we  crazy to think that its alright to try to "feel" certain "devotional" emotions thru internally  focus  in the emotions portraited by great devotees (example, their songs and poetry?)

Hoping we can become better instruments,

Cakori Radha Devi dasi (sahajiya)

HpS - You need to get Danudhara Swami's, "Waves of Devotion" and Viola Spolins, "Improvisation for the Theater". You can contact Prana Das with Goloka Education in Mumbai. His Skype name is "Prana o'Sullivan".

They can help a lot. Devotees there might know him and Rama giridhari Das.    What you are describing in Raga-anuga Bhakti.  In a liberated state, trying to follow, imitate the emotions of the Ragatmika devotees.  Our whole yoga is Gandharva Veda, no?

Hare Krishna Guru Maharaja.

All Glories to Sri Sri Gauranga Nityananda

All Glories to His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada.

All Glories to you.

All Glories to devotees and to Gaura Bhakta Vrnda.

Please accept my humble obeisances to your inmaculate lotus feet.

Guru Maharaja I hope your health is really well. How is it?

Latest times in KC was difficult for me, 4 principles good, rounds goes down, now reaching again the standard, more inspired I start to hear every day Srila Prabhupada classes.

HpS - Keep track of how many rounds you owe Srila Prabhupada, and then make them up!

Guru Maharaja I found in me, something terrible for spiritual life, insensitivity. I can see how I cannot please to devotees because of that, my limitation is because I'm to be soooo fix in target, wich impede me develop feelings like empathy and tolerance. I'm so shame for that, and I don't know which tools I can apply to improve in this area.

HpS - We all start like that.  Heart is as hard as  truck tire.  The cure is Bhakti Yoga, ISKCON, Yoga, Bhagavata Marg!

My rigidity, offend others, for me its be sincere, but persons feel bad because of my words. Please Gurudev help me to develop Vaishnava qualities. Sorry for the reactions for offend devotees, I'm really bad because of that. My intention is good but my mood is so material.

I started to know a devotee, cultivating a friendship first, but not worked. I prioritized my spiritual life.

Gurudev, the program for new persons once a month keeps on good, many new persons came sing and they back again! They take prasadam,  Prabhupada books, we preach, it's really gratefull can pleased Srila Prabhupada Giving the maha mantra and His books. (I motivate them to clap like you told me in my last letter!! :)

In your previous letter you ask me if I teach in a course thats i mention (Spiritual Sciencist) Yes Gurudev, 2 senior devotees and me gave it. It over two weeks ago.

I'm finishing the course to give class, don't know how they say facilitación in english, with Param Padam Das.

I was summoned to help in the organization of monthly festivals of ISKCON 50 years. Waiting for your bless to do it.

Ratha Yatra is comming.

Education Congress and your visit. I will talk with Ambarisa M Das and Vrsabhanu N DD to do it in the better way. And Jagad Guru Das about congress.

Bhakti Sastri I have to give my exam in one week I think i will not go,I have no time to study in a good mood.

Question:

How wonderful is reality, how wonderful is Aksara Dhama. (from> http://hps.monkeywarrior.com/node/5400 )  Can you please explain me what is Aksara Dharma?

Gurudeva I depend of your causeless mercy to do something real for Srila Prabhupada. Please apologize my mistakes I really want to be a good disciple. Sorry for my inabilities and for my hard heart.  I really want to learn how to love Krishna.

My obeisances to your feet, my only shelter and my compass. Sorry for this long letter.

Who want to serve you.

Rati-Manjari Devi Dasi.

Hare Krsna!

AGTSP!
Esteemed Manipur ISKCON, Bhakta vrnda et al,

Ki Jai!   How are you?    We sent many letters earlier, but gave up because practically speaking we never received and response!!    We have, however, been in frequent touch with our good disciple in Thoubal, Yamunesvar?

How are things in Radha Govinda Temple?

We will try to visit next year in February or so?

Is that good idea?

How is Bhakti Svarupa Damodara Maharaja's mission going there?

Any news of better relations with Ajita Das?

What is H.H. Gopal Krsna Maharaja's idea about Manipur Sankirtan.

Thank you.

In urgency please call us at USA mobile: 209 505 3219

Subject: Fwd: Correspondence with Guruji

All Glories to Sri Guruji Maharaja and Gouranga Maha Prabhu

Radha Krsna Ki Jay and Goura Bhakta Brndiki Jay

Please accept my humble obeisances unto Guruji's padmacharan that I so happy that I could not express by words after getting Gurujis Amtabani through email. Even now we the initiated bhaktas did not go to the Mandir, because the new committee's moth of arrangement is based on the earning and not in the way of spiritual activities. But shortly we will try to modify the present system and will start mangal aarati daily. Now adays there is the Pujari to do Mangal aarati  in the morning, without a pujari to do aarati is not possible that is why we did not go to the mandir.

The aarati which I had mentioned in my previous letter is a programme organised in the house of a bhakta. Such type of programme (Ahorarati 24 hrs narration of Gouranga Mahaprabhu's past times) are special. They invited different Manipuri Goudiya Beisnavas from different localities, the ages above 70 yrs. They all spent the whole night along with us. And during the narration we did aaratis (astakala) eight times with different songs.

To day I had downloaded the topics discussed in the Kapidhaja about Guru Tattva.

Every Sunday from 2-5 pm we did narration of Radha Tattva through the Book Radha hrdaya taken from Brahma Beibarta Puran  of Brahma Sanghita. Some songs, slokas and Shiksha Astakama of Chaitanya Mahaprabhu and time to time topics we discuss. All were possible with the blessings of Guruji. 

After getting Gurujis tour programme with tentative dates we will chock out different programmes of our Mandir.

Yours fallen Servant

Yamunesvara Das

====================

All Glories to Srila Prabhupada!    H. H. B. S. Damodara Swami, Ki JI!

Thank you for your letter, Yamunesvara Das.  We extend our respects to you and all the devotees of Thoubal yatra.

1. We cannot get to this e-mail sources easily. So receiving and responding to your letters is greatly delayed.  I think there are earlier letters from you and also one from Dasa Hari.   Can you please arrange to send those to the Blog!!!

2. We don't exactly understand your comments about not going to the Mandir.  Is that the Thoubal mandir or the Imphal Mandir?  They require a certain economic contribution before allowing anyone to enter? Of course, you can do Srila Prabhupada's mangala arati in your homes, but we should certainly seek adjustment to any wrong doings in any of our ISKCON temples!

3. The all night observances with Gaudiya vaisnavas that you describe seem potential of great spiritual satisfaction and opportunity for purification and empowerment in the cause of Lord Caitanya but ...   do you also include the books of Srila Prabhupada in your recitations and contemplations?  His Caitanya-caritamrta and Srimad Bhagavatam include wonderful potency to adjust all dangerous, subtle mistakes in our offers to Krsna and Gauranga.

4. We are working now on our visit to the East and Manipur and should have more news after the next week or two, even buy tickets.

Again, please have all correspondences to the Blog, so we can get contact with all of you in a practical fashion!!!  Also, for urgent communication our USA mobile phone is 209 505 3219.

Thank you,

HpSwami
 

HARE!
