Hare Krsna

All glories to Srila Prabhupada in this beautiful marathon! All glories to you Gurumaharaja and his beautiful personality!

Please excuse my negligence of not write in two months. Many things happen so quickly, but I appreciate things that happen to this Jiva and the fall that is also.

With difficulties some not so serious, we continue chanting 16 rounds daily and 4 principles, the hardest thing in this time has been sleep early and get up early, had never been so hard for me, the alarm sounds and the body not respond. I live with girls devotees also, learning a lot from them, they are a great example, we worship the deity in the morning and afternoon reading Krsna Book, doing several events where we invite the temple devotees. It is so beautiful to remember the great family that  you Guru Maharaj gave me.

Guru Maharaj want to thank you deeply for the support that you provide me in the project to partner with Prabhu Marco, despite their blessings, read the third canto of Srimad Bhagavatam, wonderful courses of holiness Mahatma Prabhu and great tips of grihastha, it was not possible complete this project. The good thing is that he remained in sankirtan near the devotees and I too, we had nine months to get to know and recognize that our time and projects were different.

I for one feel that I should wait longer and finish college before undertaking such an ambitious project as the Grihastha Ashram. Although I would not want discard the project because Krishna consciousness and the refuge guru taught me that everything is eternal commitment, but in this case my opinion was not the only that important. Between many changes as initiation, live with devotees away from my parents, Sankirtan and University, meet a devotee was very difficult because it required time and dedication. So please excuse me for all offenses Gurudeva that I made to tell and do this.

Thanks for all, always you have been there for me in dreams and awake. I hope someday achieve with everything I'm learning, be more patient and prepared for the services they arrive.

P.d. the pictures are of the house party, birthday celebration and the altar home:)

Hare krishna

All glories to Srila Prabhupada and the great Sankirtan movement in this beautiful marathon!

All glories to you Gurumaharaja and charming personality!

You are all in every moment of my existence in this movement so pure; you are the representative of the events that befall me in every place and time. You also materialize in the persons who come on to me, always finding an opportunity to talk about Krishna consciousness.

Since starting this connection, especially since the initiation, I feel more and more intensely, as Im not own anything or what I do or what I have. Everything around me becomes an offering for you and Srila Prabhupada; the family, friends, university, art and heart.

You are the representative of the continued determination and honesty. Your example makes me appreciate and know that humanity has a hope to achieve l complete satisfaction and happiness in your heart.

All glories to you forever.

caksur unmilitam yena tasmai namah sri-gurave

"I was born in the darkest ignorance, and my spiritual master opened my eyes with the torch of knowledge, to Him I offer my respectful obeisances"a

Dear Gurudeva;

              A day like today the universe was lucky that you came here, to enlighten us all. Recently I read the offering you make to your spiritual master, His Divine Grace Srila Prabhupada Abhaya Caranaravinda  and i dont know,what to say, from my dull position .
              Thank you, your causeless mercy and commitment to your spiritual master, I had a unique opportunity to approach God, You always encouraged me despite my shortage of qualities, you  always believed in me and encouraged me to move forward. I personally believe that love is shown with deeds and not just words, which makes me see the love that you have for your Guru Maharaja, you are the perfect example of devotion, dedication and discipline. I remember the day I first saw  you and without knowing you , and I felt that i did knew you, you were always special for me, I am always inspired to improve and you are  the only person in the universe who gets the bets of me. Thanks for your support, your constancy and personalism, nothing in my life would axle if you had not given me the key of knowledge. I always try to have my mind set on you, you raised me and coached by his flawless delivery to always do the best for the movement of Srila Prabhupada, beyond my selfish desires. You are an expert in occupy us all in the best way for us to add our bit to the mission of His Divine Grace's that is  why is  my desire that everyone can meet you and get involved to make this your  life and work.In  the purport of the BG. 2.41 says: "You have to act firmly and obey the representative of Krishna and one must accept the mission of his life the instruction that gives you the genuine spiritual master." And in the beginning of Srimad Bhagavatam, Srila Prabhupada dedicates the pubicación to  His spiritual master saying "He lives forever by his divine instructions and the one who follow it lives with him," I hope krishna bless me again, with this sacred realization , i want to live forever carrying out your Holy instructions.

Thanks for appearing in my life and for teaching me to respect myself, to not give up to follow this path with determination despite my disability. Excuse my mistakes and offenses at your holy feet.

FROM MAR DEL PLATA WITH LOVE AGAIN

9 years, 3 months ago by bhaktanicasio in Special Category A

Hare Krisna beloved and esteemed gurudev,

Please accept my humble obeisances,

All glories to Srila Prabhupada,

In this most auspicious day of your divine and trascendental Vyasa Puja again i feel tremendous joy of having the opportunity to make you this offering.

You are the loving representation of the previous Acaryas, by your glorious deeds, i can feel the presence of all of them up to Krisna in my life. Each morning in the japa joe program when you read from the Nectar of Devotion, you take us all that we are present to Sri Vrindavan Dham, right into the pastimes Of Sri Krisna. Then durnig the day you take us all to the realms of Caitanya Mahaprabhu and the Goswamis, brihad mridanga, Sankirtan, preaching in a very clever and avant garde way.

You inspire so much Gurudev, and at the same time i feel so much protected by your kindness, love and inconcievable mercy.

I remeber when i first got in contact with a book about KC it was a Sastvarup maharaj book, i remember reading it it was in portuguese and it was like an axe in the middle of my head, all the answers to my questions were there, i was crying in ecstasy, i was in mardel, so next month i headed to the andonaegui temple in bs as which was the address in the back of the book. In the bus way to the temple Sankirtaneswara prabhu was distributing, i took all the books from him and he showed me the temple.

A few months later i met you, you were giving a lecture entitled "How cats can see ghosts" i thought this people are amazing.

You show me Gurudev in a day to day basis tha SP teachings are alive, that they apply in the day to day life, at everymoment. They are a living tradition.

I am not worthy of being your disciple, i'm such a passionate fool who can not set priorities in the spiritual life, but you are so compassionate that you take only the good things from me, pulling me always to become a better devotee.

Things are going on quite well here in Mar Del Plata yatra, we are learning to work in a professional and cooperative way and Krisna and Srila Prabhupada are blessing us with good results. We have our institution Prabhupada Seva and we are starting to cooperate with other local projects. We want to become examples for others, heads of Society.

I want to tell you that Govardhan and El Loft project are succesful, both developing and growing nicely. 

Then I organized a comission for book distribution and for your and Srila Prabhupada's pleasure we have already distributed in this three weeks of the december marathon

22 Bhagavad Gita Pocket, 33 science of self realization, 28 Journey to self discovery, and 1250 small books.

Everyday of my life you are a continuos inspiration and guide. KC is such a practical process.

Again in this glorious day i humbly bow at your divine lotus feet and give you my life, for you to use it as you want to push the trascendental mission of our Founder Acarya.

Runing to reach your lotus feet,

Nikunja Bihari Das. 

Hare Krisna amado y estimado gurudev,

Por favor acepte mis humildes reverencias,

Todas las glorias a Srila Prabhupada,

HpS - ASA - Gracias. AgtSP!!!!!!!     Now you have contaminated more people with books going out!!!!  See you in ~3-weeks!

En este día más auspicioso de su divino y trascendental Vyasa Puja de nuevo me siento tremenda alegría de tener la oportunidad de hacer que esta oferta.

Usted es la representación amorosa del Acaryas anterior, por sus hechos gloriosos, puedo sentir la presencia de todos ellos hasta Krisna en mi vida. Cada mañana en el programa joe japa cuando lees desde el Néctar de la Devoción, que todos nosotros que estamos presentes a Sri Vrindavan Dham tomar, a la derecha en los pasatiempos de Sri Krisna. Entonces durnig el día que nos llevaremos a los reinos de Caitanya Mahaprabhu y los Goswamis, Brihad mridanga, Sankirtan, predicando en una muy inteligente y forma vanguardista.

Usted inspira tanto Gurudev, y al mismo tiempo me siento mucho protegida por su bondad, el amor y la misericordia inconcievable.

Me acuerdo cuando llegué por primera vez en contacto con un libro sobre KC era un libro Sastvarup Maharaj, recuerdo haber leído que era en portugués y fue como un hacha en medio de mi cabeza, todas las respuestas a mis preguntas estaban allí, yo estaba llorando en éxtasis, yo estaba en Mardel, así que la próxima meses me dirigí al templo Andonaegui en bs as que era la dirección en la parte posterior del libro. En el camino de autobús al templo Sankirtaneswara prabhu estaba distribuyendo, tomé todos los libros de él y él me mostró el templo.

Unos meses más tarde que te conocí, te estabas dando una conferencia titulada "¿Cómo los gatos pueden ver fantasmas" Pensé que esta gente es increíble.

Me muestras Gurudev en el día a día las enseñanzas del tha SP estás vivo, que se aplican en el día a día, en everymoment. Se trata de una tradición viva.

Yo no soy digno de ser su discípulo, soy un tonto tan apasionada que no pueden establecer prioridades en la vida espiritual, pero eres tan compasionate que tome sólo las cosas buenas de mí, tirando de mí siempre para ser un mejor devoto.

Las cosas van bastante bien aquí en Mar Del Plata Yatra, estamos aprendiendo a trabajar de una manera profesional y cooperativo y Krisna abd Srila Prabhupada nos bendecimos con buenos resultados. Tenemos nuestra institución Prabhupada Seva y estamos empezando a cooperar con otros proyectos locales. Queremos convertirnos en ejemplos para otros, los jefes de la Sociedad.

Quiero decirles que Govardhan y proyecto de El Loft son exitosa, tanto en el desarrollo y crecimiento muy bien.

Entonces organicé una comisión para la distribución de libros y para su y Srila Prabhupada de placer ya hemos distribuido en esto tres semanas de la maratón de diciembre

22 Bhagavad Gita bolsillo, 33 ciencia de la auto-realización, 28 Viaje al descubrimiento de uno mismo, y 1.250 libros pequeños.

Todos los días de mi vida que continúan inspirando y guiando mi vida.

De nuevo en este glorioso día i humildemente inclino a tus divinos pies de loto y te doy mi vida, para que usted utilice como usted quiere empujar la misión trascendental de nuestro Fundador Acarya.

Runing para llegar a sus pies de loto,

Nikunja Bihari Das.

Todas las Glorias a Sri Sri Gaura Nitay
Todas las Glorias a Srila Prabhupada
Todas las Glorias a Usted Guru Maharaja
Acepte mis respetuosas reverencias.

Feliz Vyasa Puja.

                Srila Prabhupada recomendaba e incentivaba a los devotos a escribir y ofrecer oraciones.  Escribir es "smaranam" = recordar. Si uno escucha al maestro espiritual es lógico que lo va a recordar continuamente. de esto se trata en este día tan especial para Usted, de recordarlo en la modalidad de glorificación.

                En el Caitanya Caritamrta (Madhya 8.247) se dice que: "El Maha Bhagavata, devoto avanzado, ve por supuesto todas las cosas móviles e inmóviles, pero lo que ve, no es exactamente su forma, sino que inmediatamente ve la forma del Señor Supremo manifestado"

                Las entidades vivientes somos arquitectas de religiones, pero Usted Gurudeva, como representatnte que es del Señor Supremo,  ha llegado a mi vida para eliminar estas absurdas ideas de religiones materiales innecesarias, como la ira y otras más, cambiandolas por la verdadera religión, como usted enseña , la religión del Mangala Arati, la religión del canto de la Japa y los cuatro principios y la religión a Srila Prabhupada y despertar el Sanatana Dharma. Siendo Usted el ejemplo más elevado en el sadhana Bhakti y predicando con el ejemplo.

                Ordinariamente cualquier persona podría decir Hanumatpresaka Swami es firme en su Sadhana, pero en verdad, Usted Gurudeva, es firme en el amor y eso es impactante para cualquier persona que sea observadora. Es de mi naturaleza pensar en Usted Guru Maharaja, aunque a veces la mente me tiente.

Srila Prabhupada dice, "El maestro espiritual tiene la habilidad de guiar a su discípulo y el discípulo, tiene la habilidad de desobedecer al Maestro Espiritual", también dice Prabhupada que "El maestro espiritual puede ser dulce como la miel o duro como el acero". Pero hasta cuando Usted enseña a sus discípulos, en forma de maseo o duro como el acero, en ese momento también se percibe el amor, es decir en forma de miel o de acero, usted siempre es amor y este amor suyo es lo que me hace sostenerme en esta existencia material sabiendo que el amor es Bhakti, según sus propias palabras Guru Maharaja.

En el Srimad Bhagavatam; Prahlada Maharaja ora, diciendo: "Mi querido Señor Nrisimhadeva, veo que sin duda hay muchas personas santas, pero lo único que le interesan es salvarse a sí mismos". Usted es un ejemplo de devoto compasivo, sino ¿Qué estaría haciendo en el centro de sus discípulos? Usted es un santo que primero quiere salvar a sus discípulos y por último a Usted.

S.S. Jayapataka Swami en una ocasión, le preguntó a Srila Prabhupada si es verdad que el maestro espiritual permanece en el universo material hasta que todos sus discípulos sean transferidos al cielo espiritual, la respuesta es sí. Primero los discípulos después el guru porque así es la regla. Gurudeva, su labor en la atmósfera material es sin duda la de una persona santa.

                En el Bhakti Sudodhaya se dice: "Oh devoto del Señor, verte, es la perfección de los ojos, tocarte, es la perfección del tacto y la perfección de la lengua es la glorificación de tus cualidades, ya que, es muy difícil encontrar un devoto puro como tú".

                Hanumatpresaka Swami, con su ejemplo enseña la cualidad más elevada del conocimiento, esta cualidad es la humildad. Todo sería diferente Gurudeva si asimilaramos tus instrucciones, aunque en lo personal soy lento y distrído para asimilar las mismas, su erudicción y  su humildad es la herramienta de la erradicación del ego falso de mucho.

                Usted es un exorcista de todo tipo de impurezas, por eso mismo es muy difícil de encontrar un devoto puro como tú, y yo soy tan afortunado ya que te he encontrado en este desierto, mi querido Gurudeva , por esto mismo estoy eternamente agradecido al Señor Krishna.

                Srila Prabhupada homenajea a Su Maestro espiritual, Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Thakura en el Vyasa Puja del Año 1935, diciendo: "Cuando meditamos en los pasatiempos trascendentales del Dios absoluto tenemos el orgullo de sentir que somos sus sirvientes eternos y nos volvemos felices y danzamos con alegría, todas las Glorias a mi divino maestro espiritual, porque el es quién tiene el incesante flujo de misericordia, habiendo despertado en nosotros el movimiento de la existencia eterna, vamos a postrarnos a Sus Pies de Loto".

                Guru Maharaja, en este día tan especial Usted ha pedido a sus discípulos, que haya mucho Kirtana y mucho canto de Japa y tal cual Srila Prabhupada le ora a Su Maestro Espiritual, nos podamos volver felices en este día, cantando bailando con alegría y tomando prasadam, sin duda que Usted estará satisfecho de este modo.

                En el Srimad Bhagavatam 4.16.3 se dice: "Aunque no sabemos glorificarte como mereces sentimos un apego trascendental  por glorificar tus actividades.
      Trataremos de cantar las Glorias conforme a las instrucciones que hemos recibido de los sabios y eruditos autoritativos, aún así, todo lo que digamos, será inadecuado e insignificante.

Todas las glorias a Srila Prabhupada porque Él le ha dado su misericordia a mi Maestro Espiritual.
Todas las Glorias a Hanumatpresaka Swami porque por él recibimos la ilimitada misericordia. 
Guru Maharaja; mientras más me instruye en la entrega total, más me está dando amor, y mientras más amor me dá, eternamente yo le diré "Gracias".
 

Su insignificante sirviente
Bhakta Luis.

HpS - ASA - TlgaSP.  paoho. We understand Spanish like a donkey, but we understand most of your offering. We feel that 90% of any good qualities that you see in us are coming from Srila Prabhupada's causeless mercy! When we see a beautiful form of the opposite sex we don't see Krsna, we see chance to preach, but also chance to forget Krsna and become absorbed in lust and illusion. So, we are pure by practice!!  Madhyama-adhikari.
