Hare Krsna Beloved Gurudeva

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.

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!

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

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.

PRESIDENT
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

[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.

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
