Todas las glorias a Sri sri Gaura Nitay

Todas las Glorias a Srila Prahupada

Todas las Glorias a usted Guru Maharaja

Acepte mis respetuosas reverencias.

Guru Maharaja, quiero hacerla llegar noticias sobre la vida que estoy llevando en el templo de Buenos Aires. Me encuentro realmente bien viviendo en este templo, contenido emocional y espiritualmente. Quizás noto en mí, que estoy un poco ensimismado; a veces quiero estarlo para poder trabajar cosas invalorables y no para alimentar el ego.  

El servicio en el templo es demasiado y en lo personal me siento satisfecho. Estoy realizando diferente servicios durante la semana: desde limpieza, pasando por la cocina, hasta asistir a los devotos en diferentes aspectos en las fiestas de domingo. En este momento los monjes Brahmacaris del templo se encuentran de sankirtan viajero en Brazil, por lo tanto el servicio se multiplica. Estoy contento con poder estar haciendo esto.

A menudo leo y recuerdo el texto 3 de Sri Upadesamrita “mi objetivo es no perder el entusiasmo y mantenerlo”.

En el templo de Buenos Aires somos 26 devotos viviendo fijo.

Se ve mucho entusiasmo aquí, ya que se están haciendo diferentes refacciones, en las que también tengo participación.

Aquí pasa bastante tiempo SS Gunagrahi Maharaja, a quien también pude asistir personalmente, por estar viviendo en el templo. Tambien nos visitó SS Bhaktibusana Swami, aunque ahora está en Paraguay y vuelve en pocos días. Pude hacer servicio en su Vyasa Puja estando el presente y sus discípulos me permitieron servicio. En poco tiempo está llegando SS Bhakti Vasudeva Swami.

Estoy llevando un Sadhana tranquilo, me ocupa un buen tiempo meditar en las 16 rondas y estoy despertando un gusto en asistir por las mañanas a las clases de Srimad Bhagavatam.

Hoy no encuentro tiempo para pensar en cosas por fuera del templo. Solo pienso en mi hijo Hari y en usted Guru Maharaja. Busco y encuentro fuerzas para mantenerme de pie en esta existencia solo si estoy a su servicio.

Su Sirviente Lomasa Rsi  das

HpS - Hare Krsna!  Gracias su carta Senor Lamasa Rsi Das. Gracias los noticias del templo. Cuantos anos tuene su hijo Hari?  Podemos realizar un poco de la actitud de Jagannatha Misra por Senor Caitanya tambien, su otro hijo!

Hay planes para installar deidades de Radharani y Krsna??

Ya vamos a  Peru hoy dia!!!

Hari bolo!!!!! ! !! 

Hare Krsna, Bwanas and Bwanis!
AGTSP!!!!!  Paoho...    Follows our letter to the Jung, Kundalini Yoga, Peru Symposium, circle:

Om Namo Bhagavate Vasudevaya!

Esteemed Psychologists, Philosophers, Psychiatrists, Historians et al.
We salute you from Monterrey, Mexico. We came here for a traditional boat festival, Jala-yatra, and we are leaving for a mountain excursion with about 45-members in 1-1/2 hours. It is 6.310AM.

We were contemplating Dr. Eduardo's comments after the 1st Jung lecture, about the necessity of not dumping our human habits such as smoking and becoming too spiritual.

Then we did our regulated reading, this 2nd lecture on Kundalini Yoga, and it seems to address very much Dr. Eduardo's concern.

We have to translate some of the terms that Jung uses, such as impersonal consciousness, free from ego, to match our Bhagavata model, but he seems to be talking about the same levels of evolution of consciousness.

Earlier he was talking about sthula, suksma and para bodies, and said the sthula and suksma were understandable to him, but the para was a 'mist'. We would feel that by a little effort in this Bhagavata tradition, yoga, under able guidance we can have some experience of these higher chakras and the mist would begin to disappear. Of course this para plane can be experienced by so many methods.

Who agrees with Dr. Jung's realization of what is happening as described in the evolution of Kundalini to different levels?

As I said above, his realization seems to be pretty much direct experience of what he is describing so far if looked at from the Bhagavata description.

I would try to give a simple response to Dr. Eduardo's comments that seem to be discussed here by Dr. Jung's also, that we should not artificially try to jump up, but experience properly why we smoke at our level, but as we evolve, then the smoking is seen in it's subtle, more pure, more delightful, less contaminating form.

What are contaminations? The first I would say is death. Death is an unnatural thing for us. We should not lose consciousness when we are in the state between bodies, and in the next physical body we should have access to previous projects, knowledge, associates.

I would say that the Kundalini Yoga Sutras that Jung was dealing with, were probably not practical for Europeans at that time and neither now, but it is possible to develop a Yoga or Religion which would allow the Nation of Peru to progressively rise up, for the 'gods' to again become active.

Of course, we write this with a lot of smiles and hope for responses from a lot of people.

We are humbly including Prof. Dr. Samaresh Bandyopadhyay in this dialog. He is our old friend, adviser and very senior professor from Calcutta University. I would also suggest that at some point we can try to get in contact with Shonu Shyamdasani. He has such a ton of Jung's letters, writings etc. like these Kundalini lectures and related documents, that can each be researched and published. Specifically, for us Jung's trip to India seems of the most value for our efforts to create a bridge between the Orient and the Occident, and so I would hope to influence him to turn his considerable academic attention those days rather than many other topics.

Thank you.

See you in a few days.

Respected Guru Maharaj,

Please accept my humble obeisances.  All glories to Srila Prabhupad.

I went to twitter and listened the lecture on start meeting with Nitai Gaur prabhu, it was so nice.  I was going to ask you that you should also put this link in your Monkeywarrior home page and it is already there, Jaya. Guruji! kindly do this every time, that you also put the link on this website, since someone may not have the twitter acct and thus, they would be bereft of the opportunity to listen.

Guruji! have your chalked out your indian program, any rough sketch? In one of your news letter you mentioned that you would be going to Manipur, would you also be going to your usual places of pilgrimage like Naimisharanya and Lucknow etc. and Vrindavan/Mayapur or would you like to go to Punjab?

Here in Brisbane, everything is OK, my job is always up and down, but my chanting 16 rounds good quality, now-a-days I m reading Bhagvad Gita As It Is and sometimes, I go online and see the commentaries of different Acharayas on the same verse, it is really interesting.

Priya and children are excited to join you next year during your Indian journey, hope Krishna provides enough by that time.

Thanks and HARE KRISHNA.

yours servant,

Raktak Das

HpS - ASA -- AGTSP...  paoho...  We hope you are making nice progress in all of the basic principles of Sadhana, no?       For example, if someone is attached to sports activities, like gambling, then he is lacking part of the foundation to his Bhakti-lata and it will grow, but slowly and even with distortion, so we all have to understand these priority items of Sadhana Bhakti: Sixteen enthusiastic rounds minimum, four-principles strictly, a full Brahma-muhurta, morning program . . .   Sankirtan!

Then from Vaidhi-bhakti we can progress to Raga-anuga Bhakti very naturally (BG 4.10 Purport!).

First is am I?      Guess we are a mostly a writer at this point in life.   Who is the Raktaka Das?

Second is who are we?      For India we have Dr. Samaresh, Rama-giri-dhari Das, Yamuna in Manipur, Indian disciples and friends (Eg. Vasu Gosh), other Yatris like yourself and the Gopinatha Pujari. . . .

Third we make some plan where to go when....

Who are you?!

Hare krsna Gurudev por favor acepte mis reverencias.

paoho....   !   In Mexico.   The last light of day fading.   We had a 4-hour park program with about 45-devotees. We road on a train and stopped here and there for KC dramas and games, and we did a lot of consulting. We did our BhSastri program with NGD and Tweeted the link.

We also Tweeted these links:

"The following are a simple description and the links for the Sessions recorded at the 2015 annual North American Conference on Education with ISKCON (NAC). The quality is moderate but reports are that they are comprehensible.
