Bhakta Juanka

HpS - AGTSP. How are you Sr. Juanka?  I hope you have been reading the letters and DTCs here. You can see why it has taken two weeks for us to answer. In any case it is very nice to hear from you. Yes, we think we remember getting letters from you. Thank you also for the photo. There was big Rathayatra in Panama recently, no? Bh. Sundara Goswami was there and others. Are you steady in your Japa vrata? 16-rounds minimum daily?    Chanting Japa, sitting with attention, it is so natural to begin to experience Krsna's Form, Qualities, Associates and Lila, "NOI 7-8".  Any questions?   Are you married with five wives and 26-children?   Are you a brain surgeon?    Do you have a father and mother?????

Demon and devotee

Hare Krishna Dear Guru Maharaja,
Please accept my humble obeisances.
All glories to Srila Prabhupada.

I would like to ask you if you can clarify me following questions which are unfortunately somehow due to my bad nature relevant to me.

When somebody gets purified by bhakti yoga proccess do unfriendly qualities get transformed/destroyed? Or when soul purify and fully self-realize he still need to behave in body like it is programed by modes of nature, similarly as actor who plays bad character?

We can sometimes see devotees which are close friends of Krishna, His devotees, same time they may have some kind of interesting (non-traditional for vaisnava) nature (e.g. drinking blood of enemies, anger). Similarly Krishna didn't allow Arjuna to go to forrest as his nature will not allow him to properly stay there as yogi. So may we understand that 'varna' or human nature cannot be avoided even when after we will become purified devotees? 

Whatever understanding of myself/my psychology is purely based on body/mind/inteligence. At least theoretically I understand that I am not that, but can I realize what are the emotions, logic, behavior of the real me, the soul? When soul is purified and is back in Krishna's pastimes he has own personality. While in material body, does this personality, characteristics get manifested over out material conditioning or we simply live inner live, while outsite be still same bad character?

Your servant Prahlad-nrsmha das

 
HpS - ASA - AGTSP.  Paoho.    Wonderful question, but first, in the name of so many people, thank you so, so much for this Blog and Vedabase.com.

As far as I know, the answer to your question is in NOI 5-6. There we see that we avoid association with third class devotees unless the WANT to take instructions from the example and preaching of a pure devotee (like Srila Prabhupada) or the scriptures. The second class devotee still has material connection and yes, there is still sometimes accidental falldown to his material conditioning, but he is trying to avoid that by intelligence.

First class devotee is described in Text Six, no?  He still may have bad complexion and Bhakti Siddhanta Sarasvati says that he may also have rough character in his Anuvrrti. It is like bubble, foam and mud in the Ganges. So, he completely connects all his resources to Krsna's service unless Krsna wants something else. Draupadi didn't know why all this weird stuff was happening to her, but she never lost faith that Krsna had a plan, although she certainly made requests to understand what they were.

Internally he knows that Krsna is in control, but he may not know why he is acting in certain ways.   That is somtimes Krsna makes him act wrongly, like Arjuna, so that Krsna can use him.

O.K?  Read those Texts.   Sometimes Krsna wants him to control his Karma and gives him power and sometimes Krsna wants to use his Karma and doesn't give him power to control it, but deep within himself he knows that this is Krsna's plan.

 

About Illicit sex letter

9 years, 9 months ago by candra108_mukhi in Special Category A

Hare Krsna Beloved Gurudeva

AGTSP

PAMHO

It is very nice to hear that U are recovering your energy little by little

As I told U I am on internet cause of work most of the time and in my spare time I read or listen to classess.

I read the very good letter that Harsh posted ¡¡¡¡ And I am writing because I have a point of view of a lady 

I was talking with M. Jambavati more frequently now...and she told me that U said to her that she is a Grhastha due to she has to work to support herself and her father so I think I am in the same situation. I personally belive now that Krsna is taking care of me because I want to surrender to Him... 

I guess that this disease is the most difficult to overcome ¡¡ Until the point you realize that the 4 pillars of religion are pretty real they exist for a reason ...The 4 principles are really helpful PRETTY REAL ... I am sad to share that a friend of mine has a sexually transmitted disease (her husband was with many other ladies so....) So the best policy is to follow 4 principles strictly, but what happened when U follow and your partner no?? U get a disease and ??? karma I guess no??

ASA - Uncle Gismo --- Esteemed Candra-mukhi Devi Das et al, Thank you for your perspective on this topic. HpS is too stuffy to discuss such things but we are practical people, scientists. First, as our old High School teacher, Mr. What's His Name used to say they are not "other ladies". She may be a lady, but they are "women or to call things bluntly as Srila Prabhupada does ...". Second, a lady should not associate with a husband who is fallen, associating with other women. She should only associate for religious reasons. Happy life.

So at least in order not to get a disease U restrain to break principles ¡¡¡ 

About this point on Harsh letter ¡¡

9. Many men think they dont themselves dont need sex , but their wife does, so they indulge in it. In my understanding women can be happy in peaceful home,with a respecting and caring husband, and basic mateiral comforts.  If she does not get these then her sex desire might be more. Secondly if she is really (lusty), then tell her, there are no free lunches in this material world (atleast be a Karmi).  The price for having sex is to care of Kid for atelast 20 years.

CMDD:

Most of the comments that I heard is that women are lustier than men ¡¡ yes this may be true but ¡¡¡ deeply we want to feel protected , loved and most importantly we want to please our husbands or partners, (but in a mundane way) BIG MISTAKE ¡¡¡ Now I realized that our aim MUST be to please Krsna.. So in order to try to please our partners we get wrong advice.... from materialistic mentalities and what we obtain?? DISTRESS ¡¡¡ Until we realized or experienced a HIGHER TASTE ¡¡¡ so  Those wrong ladies need association ¡¡¡ from those who made this terrible mistake.. and learned the lesson  but again .. Do they really want to get advice?? They have to suffer again and again as I personally did until as I said U experienced a Higher taste. Sadly as NOI says an intelligent person do not do what is wrong if they hear but many of us have to experience once, twice .... until finally we understand ¡¡¡

So I have realized that yes ladies need to be protected but not only  by their fathers, brothers, husbands.. but also by elder ladies ¡¡ like M Murti Murti, etc... Because ladies feel more comfortable with other ladies ¡¡¡, also following their Gurus instructions and being sincere etc. 

ASA - Yes!   We all need Ashrama Gurus.

9.  Outside  you will see many women (advertisement or workplace) dressed inappropriately. Have compassion on them as they are being misled that way to be happy is to flaunt one self and have wealth.

CMDD: yes .. most women do not dress properly, in order to get jobs they show their breast etc ¡¡¡ they go to discos and bars to pick up men ¡¡ awful..

I guess that we are influenced by stereotypes if u are slim, beautiful u can get a job a good husband so they struggle to try to fit in that stereotype. And we forget to cultivate within ourselves ¡¡¡¡ But here I want to point out that some girls like me or others go to the beach for example to get sunlight not to show off.. we do not want to feel madonna or any other jajaja we just want to feel comfortable and relax from work or problems...also chaste married ladies do so... others like me feel good wearing designers clothes ¡¡ jaja (lust) yes but not to show off to feel good within ourselves.... maybe I am wrong but I am just being sincere... most of men say She forced me to rapped her look the way she dress ummm ¡¡¡ yes sometimes may be true but also I think that is also the actitude u have ¡¡¡, and convey.

ASA - Yes, many good points here. We need comments from Ashrama Gurus. We saw one scientific study where a girl was talking to a man on a video. They showed it to men and asked if she was "flirting" with him, indicating desire for some more sexual relation. The men mostly said, "Yes".
 
When they showed the same video to ladies they said, "No, she is just being friendly!". Amazing, no? A lot to learn about Varna-ashrama-dharma for Krsna!  "Women as a source of inspiration for men are stronger than men."  Bhisma deva's Instructions to Yuddhisthira, SB 1.9. So, girls have to understand that by chastity and modesty they inspire the men in this movement to do wonderful things for Krsna. If a lady is chaste and sincere with a single glance at a devotee she can empower him with super-human devotional energy to spread this Sankirtan movement.
 
 

Thanks GM for this blog ¡¡¡ for listen to us ¡¡¡ please forgive my stupidity

An unintelligent, lusty lady

ASA - UG - HpSwami says thank you and you seem to be losing a few rounds to The Witch, but She has completely smashed many others, so you got some devotees ahead of you and some behind you. Serve them both and give The Witch a Knock-out Blow in round three!

Bhakta martin esperando poder servirlo

9 years, 9 months ago by Bhakta Martin in Personal Sadhana Reports

Todas las glorias a Srila Prabhupada, todas las glorias a Sri Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu y Nityananda. Por favor acepte mis humildes y respetuosas reverencias.

Esta carta la escribo para hacerle saber mi situación. Soy un bhakta de Santiago de chile, actualmente estoy estudiando psicología en la Universidad Católica Silva Henríquez, estoy en el último año de la carrera. Soy compañero de Abhimanyu Das.

El primer contacto con la conciencia de krishna lo tuve con usted, ya que usted realizó una conferencia en la universidad el año pasado, en ese momento me interesó mucho y compré el libro de srila prabhupada llamado la ciencia de la autorrealización, lo leí en un par de días y me voló la cabeza.  Posteriormente usted realizó la conferencia llamada la luz del bhagavata y me llevé de regalo en el camino a krishna. Desde ese momento decidí ir al templo ya que aparecía la dirección al final de los libros, fue la mejor decisión de mi vida, ya que después de llevar un camino espiritual impersonalista y actos bondadosos pude conocer a la suprema personalidad de dios a través del guru parampara. Todo se dio maravillosamente, desde los comienzos pude realizar mucho servicio, como ayudante de cocina, limpiando los pasillos, los baños, asistiendo a las clases y a los kirtan.

Cuando me sentí tan agradecido por la vida que llevo hace un año y algunos meses, usted visitó Santiago de chile para el primer congreso de educación, en ese momento decidí que me gustaría poder tomar asociación suya y si krishna lo permite refugio, aunque no me acerque físicamente. Abhimanyu Das me aconsejó que tomara sus instrucciones muy seriamente, y asistí a todas sus clases y practiqué en la vida todo lo escuchado. Un cambio radical se generó, logré dimensionar la inmensidad del movimiento dentro de mi ignorancia, y comencé a participar activamente y permanentemente en el kali yuga dharma harinam sankirtan, cocina para la fiesta de los viernes de srila prabhupada, me quedé todos los viernes a dormir en el templo para asistir a mangala arati. Y qué más puedo decir, intento cantar las 16 rondas de santos nombres todos los días aunque algunas veces solo cante 12 o 13, y espero con mucha satisfacción su venida a Santiago nuevamente. Se despide este bhakta aspirante a sirviente agradecido de tanta misericordia y con una fe enorme en este trascendental movimiento.

My dear guruji
I am so sorry for not answering this msg before but my computer got broken and here in Radhakund we have no any Internet site.
First of all,  i want to thank you for your association,  it was very inspiring for me,  i hope to have it again soon.
With respect to the recommendation letters,  please send both letters to Vrindavan temple, addressed to Panca Gauda prabhu, requesting,  in the case of  visa,  to issue an invitation letter to get a student's visa. Pls send a copy to  me so i can print it and give it to Panca gauda prabhu.
It seems that i have to go out of the country, so i am arranging a trip to go to Philippines and get it there.
Pls give me your benedictions so i can get it and be able to continue living in my dear Radhakund  and to assist you any time you come.

Thank you again  for your causeless mercy to this fallen soul.

Yes, we were very sad not to hear from you, but now we have this letter and it makes us so happy.
Please we don't know the address for the Vrndavana Temple, Panca-gauda Das, so please forward this to him and print it as needed.
Also, I don't find Radha-carana Devi Dasi's e-mail address, so please send this to her also.
A copy we are sending to Giri vara dhari das from Pune. He has been recommended for Second Initiation and we hope he can work out the details when we can give the Mantra by telephone.

Esteemed Prabhu,
Please accept our humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada. We are very happy and sad to write to you. Happy because your form and character flood into our mind with sweetness, warmth, simplicity, gravity and strength. Sad because we have not had your physical darsan for some time.
Maybe soon.
Specifically this letter is to ask you to please help our two good disciples, students, Radha-carana Devi Dasi and Tungavidya Devi Dasi with letters of invitation to study at the Krsna Balarama Mandir. They need this in order to apply for the corresponding visas.
Also, Radha-carana is certainly living the standard of chastity and austerity required for Second Initiation as far as we can understand, so if you also think this is appropriate we would like to give her Gayatri mantra.
Thank you,
You can e-mail us at: [email protected] or even call us at +1 209 505 3219
