Hare Krishna dear Guru maharaj,

Please accept my dandavat pranams, All glories to Srila Prabhupad.

At this time, it seems like it is run by Durga devi, I think I should work on my conduct so that people can come and ask me what I follow.

            ASA - Aaaacha!!!

Typically my behaviour is not in all nobility, forgiving, etc. I kind of go along with the flow of office politics. I wish I could be more stable in my determination to be noble in my dealings. When my conduct is noble, I would be able to preach to others. I need to work on it.

       ASA - Reading stories of the Acharya's like Bhisma Deva is wonderful impetus. Others.

It is Kronos manufacturing company maharaj(http://kronostio2.com/en/) .

Today I read Srimad Bagavatham Canto 1, Chapter 2 , verse 34.

ASA - Aaaaaaaaaaaaacha! Last verse. Most of the questions answered. Now he will discuss the incaranations! Nama-avatara!  Japa beads are an incaranation!

Rama(my wife) will be going to India from November 7th to 18th. I would like to serve you on the weekends of  Nov 8th,9th or/and Nov 15th, 16th.

Thank you,

your servant

Nataraj

ASA - We will be in Chicago ISKCON on the 15th - 16th!

Ayruvedic Endeavor, etc

10/01/14  Hare Krsna Guru Maharaja!  All glories to Mighty Srila Prabhupada...Please accept my dandavats @pranamas.  Is Ayruvedic endeavor progressing nicely?

    HpS - ASA - AGTSP    paoho....  We talked with Gaura Prema das.   It is very nice. now we have to talk with Rupa-anuga Das. I think it will wait until after this festival Saturday and then be apart of our academic preaching program development with them for Peru. I will write to him in about two weeks!  PLEASE keep in touch with us on this.

We have returned from so. cal. family seva.  You mentioned Goswami training for girls.  i am sure  i am unqualified however would like to know details of training please.  Will try to locate this info on your site.  I need to become much more familiar with your site so i can communicate mostly by blog as you have requested.  If i cannot access info, then i will beg for your help.

HpS - ASA - We answered this in the subsequent letter. Very nice.

Have been studying lives of the 6 Goswamis.  i feel very tiny and dirty after the study.  However also blissfully inspired and grateful to take the dust of the soil they walked on via reading their pastimes.  Trying to become more expert in execution of more Vaisnava songs so I can be of better service leading kirtan at Sat program in Sac.   It is also important to me that i represent you there as well as i can.  Any seva i can realistically perform for you?  Your worthless servant, Kalindi Devi dasi

ASA - Blog writing and keep reminding us of Ayurveda. I think if yoiu read here you will quickly see what you can do.

How is the David and the Weiner Dog?

10/01/14  Hare Krsna Gurudev!  AGTSP pamho  Searched your site.  Found little information.   so,   Re. Goswami training...is that synomonous with the pre-initiation training course protocol recently established by the GBC?  Or does your use of the term refer to training you are going to begin giving to your initiated disciples if they request and qualify per your requirements?  YWS  Kalindi Devi dasi

HpS - AGTSP. paoho. It refers to the training Monkey and Piggy are going to begin giving to our initiated disciples if they request and qualify per your requirements?

Want to start now? <img alt="smiley" height="23" src="http://hps.monkeywarrior.com/sites/all/libraries/ckeditor/plugins/smiley/images/regular_smile.png" title="smiley" width="23" />

Todas las Glorias a Sri Sri Goura Nitai

Todas las Glorias A Srila prabhupada

Todas las Glorias a sus pies  [ASA - De manzana]

Querido Gurudeva.

Espero que su salud lo este acompañando en su servicio, me mantengo al tanto de sus reportes en Kapi dhvaja.

Hace unos dias he recibido la respuesta de mi reporte anterior(julio) y debo contarle varias cosas, primero que todo mi reporte...

16 rondas regulas diarias, lectura de BG todos los dias, en la noche estoy leyendo El Guerrero espiritual II "transformando lujuria en amor" por su santidad Bhakti Tirtha Swami, precisamente para regular los principios ya que he tenido problemas con ese tema, ya que estoy conociendo a un devoto y mi poca inteligencia no me ha permitido cumplir con estos; por el mismo echo de que me encuentro con pruebas bastante dificiles en el aspecto de la lujuria y me parece que cada dia encuentro un anartha nuevo en el cual debo trabajar.

ASA - Thank you! AGTSP paoho. Utiliza translate.google.com!   We come to this human life after hundreds of thousands of births. So, what is the surprise that we have bad habits, no? We will suffer for doing stupid things. Yes, how to find the cause and reconnect that to Krsna!

Bueno aun me estoy quedando regularmente en el templo los fines de semana (1 vez a la Semana) para mangala arati, mi servicio es ayudar a un devoto a preparar el desayuno prasadam para los devotos y dentro de la semana hago mechitas para las lamparas de ghee atambien preparando su Vyasa Puja en diciembre.

Bueno, usted me preguntaba si a mi hijo (Nityananda) le gustaba quedarse en el templo.... si le encanta y tiene muchos amigos, el es muy inspirador le gusta hacer servicio...seguramente el sea un gran devoto!!!

En la vida material estoy trabajando pero ya no excesivamente, sin duda Krishna vio que andaba mal con mi vida espiritual y me tendio una mano, ahora trabajo solo de 2 a 4 horas diaria el resto del dia estoy aprendiendo hacer sankirtan y ocuparme de mis deberes como madre y el hogar.

Tengo bastante asociacion con los devotos pero aun puede ser mas!!!, me he refugiado en algunos de mis hermanos espirituales mayores grihastras por el tema de los principios y regulaciones...

pero aun soy muy tonta para entender muchas cosas y cada dia me sorprendo de las cosas en las que tengo que trabajar, estoy llena de lujuria que solo pienso en servir a un esposo "el cual ni siquiera tengo".... yo quiero servir a Krishna y no mucho a los sentidos, pero me cuesta mucho!!! a veces me siento muy frustrada.

que el Señor Nrismha le de su proteccion

esperando instruccion, le ofrezco mis humildes reverencia

Krisangi Devi Dasi
  HpS - ASA --- As you say, there is so much to learn. We have a long way to go before we get back to Goloka. We have to pass through Dvaraka and Ayodhya and ... first. I would say that the first thing is, "Get up early and get your Japa-vrata done".
Can you do that?

Keep a list for two weeks when you finished your rounds each day and then send the average time to the Blog!

Is remarriage O.K?

9 years, 6 months ago by hps in Special Category B, Hot Topics

All glories to Srila Prabhupada.

Please accept our humble obeisances and well wishes.

Question is, can a girl get remarried?


"Actually the qualified brāhmaṇas are meant to give direction to the kings for proper administration in terms of the scriptures like the Manu-saṁhitā and Dharma-śāstras of Parāśara." [http://vedabase.com/en/sb/1/9/27]

====================================================================

"Parasara Dharma Sastra - CHAPTER IV

28. When her husband is missing, or is dead, or has renounced the world, or is impotent, or has been degraded by sin, — on any of the said five calamities befalling a woman, law has ordained another husband for her. 

29. If a woman has led a continent life, after her lord 
departed this life, she wins a region of bliss after her death, 
like to the well-known male observers of a celebate life. 

30. If a woman follows her departed lord, by burning 
herself on the same funeral pile, she will 'dwell in heaven " for as many years as there are hairs on the human frame, —
which reach the number of three crores and a half. 
31. As a snake-catcher seizes a venomous serpent by 
force, and from within its hole lifts it up; so does a wife 
deliver her lord from the torments of hell, and then rejoices 
[in heaven] with him. "       [http://bhati.org/archives/nios-pds090904.pdf]

=======================================================

We read another translation where is said that 1st class is to follow her departed husband in the same fire of sacrifice. If he takes Sannyasa she becomes a Sannyasini like Visnu-priya followed Lord Caitanya. This is like 30-31 in the translation above.

2nd class is like text 29. She doesn't take sannyasa or sati, but doesn't get remarried, follows Brahmacaria.

3rd class is that she gets remarried, but in the other translation it said six years.

We went through this in our life. In some ways we basically took Sannyasa. We became Hare Krsna's. Of course, our wife could have followed us more strictly and then it would have gradually adjusted, but she got remarried instead. I don't belittle her at all. She was a VERY, VERY nice person. It was just too tough for her or me to solve the problems. I never got remarried.
But she got remarried after like six years, and intuitively before I had read this it seemed correct.
 

======================================================

SB 7.11.25-27 Srila Prabhupada gives very detailed advice. Read it all! For example:
"If her husband is fallen, it is recommended that she give up his association. Giving up the association of her husband does not mean, however, that a woman should marry again and thus indulge in prostitution. If a chaste woman unfortunately marries a husband who is fallen, she should live separately from him. Similarly, a husband can separate himself from a woman who is not chaste according to the description of the śāstra. The conclusion is that a husband should be a pure Vaiṣṇava and that a woman should be a chaste wife with all the symptoms described in this regard. Then both of them will be happy and make spiritual progress in Kṛṣṇa consciousness."

                  So... it is a rather robust topic. The general principle is: Follow the four principles and chant 16 nice rounds daily in the association of devotees. Then practical details of Dharma will become clear.
How can we consider our actions good if they hurt anyone. We should try to do austerities for the benefit of everyone and Krsna will give a solution to our ashrama situation.

Whatever we do we should take some time to see the situtation clearly with good advice.

If a girl separates from her husband because he is chronically lax in the regulative principles, then at least give it a year of strict brahmacarini life in association of devotees before making any other decisions about looking for a new partner, no?

Any questions, comments complaints?
