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.
Your (trying to br humble) servant

Paoho
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

Dialog with Eduardo

9 years, 9 months ago by hps in Special Category B

[3:21:50 AM] hp swami: Good morning Doctor. How are you? It is 3.15AM here in Tennessee. The last part of our journey back to USA was intense: Chosica, Lima, Mexico City, Houston, Nashville.

Our energy is still not recovered. Honestly speaking we don't know if we will live or die at this point. However, Seneca comments, "If my bark (boat) sinks, it is but to another sea".     In any case, shall we die discussing philosophy? 

We would certainly have the company of such immortal geniuses as Socrates, Descartes, Jung/Freud, Krsna.  We will send copy of this to our esteemed friend Professor Samaresh Bandyopadhyay former head of Ancient Indian History and Culture at the University of Calcutta.

Also, your good friend and our new acquaintance the Venerable Director of the Peruvian National Library might like to join the dialog at times, no?
 

[3:24:06 AM] hp swami: For us we can agree with Socrates in the Phaedo that these discussions about the ultimate nature of the self, its immortality, at this point, the cup of poison in front of us, are not idle speculations. Old or young man, we have to agree with Albert Camus about the primacy of death as an element in our philosophy of life.

Hare Krsna! AgtSP Paoho Answered five great letters. Still very weak but less stress now that we are in Tennessee. Checking in with our team. Hope Kapi Dhaja goes today! You are not God. I am not God. Only Krsna is God, and He wants me to know what's for lunch!

Sila : question

PAMHO

Hope U are better ¡¡¡

I was being asked about sila worship today, but one question I could not answer.. is the following

In Govardhana puja for example if one has a personal sila (not worship in the temple).. and one wants to make a program at home, others who do not have second initiation or not properly following or followed the standard of a Brahmana should bathe Him or not??

Thank U Gurudeva in advance

trying to be iur disciple

CMDD

ASA - Don't know Prabhupada's instructions on the matter, but in general seems Giriraja is a very personal guest. A very sincere person who is not following 100% strictly may please him, but in general seems Brahman initiation is required or many years of strict first initiation standard.
