Prahlad Nrsimha Das - Report

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

Sending report.

We are in Europe (Czech / Slovakia, currently Slovakia). Got new Student VISAs for India last week and coming back to Sridham Mayapur on 24th of August. We are looking forward to be back at Holy Dham!

HpS - ASA - AGTSP! paoho. You are so, so, so, so fortunate!!! It is very hard to get these Visas. I think in the future you may not be able to get it. Hmmmm!?!   Just be able to visit India for some time. Maybe last few months there before you go to Goloka!

Recently Madana Priya dd and me got our legal and Vedic marriage. Vedic marriage was specially nice. Our priest was Mahendra Prabhu, who told us that he had very nice feeling from the ceremony.

ASA - O.K! Now five kids!!!

Few days ago I finished core of new version of vedabase.com. Design/theme is more intuitive and improved to facilitate new features without distraction. There are huge backend changes which were needed for some features like categorization which will come shortly (hopefully) after launch of new version. In June there was over 39,000 visitors, now it is less due to holidays.

ASA - AGTSP. Paoho. We promote it wherever we go! We know you are busy and are anxious for the Index, Personal Accounts with Bookmarks etc.  Looks like there is some work at vedabase.net.

After new version will be running I will try to find some remote programming job for some time. It will allow me to stay in Mayapur and same time get money needed to pay for flat we are going to buy. 

Starting SB 10.11, right now. 16 rounds, 4 principles. Brahma-muhurta wake up problems.

ASA - Usually wake up problem is "stay up late" problem, no? What do we wake up for? If is nice program then we want to wake up. We get more work done better!

Your servant Prahlad Nrsimha Das

ASA - Thank you so, so, so much for this Blog!!! Our respects and congratulations to your good wife!!! Priest!!! All Dhama vasis!

DEAR GURUDEVA THIS IS YOUR LAST REPLY:

ASA - HpS - Please use translate.google! Thank you for your letter. They make us very happy. This world is very lonely without news from you and the other Mahatmas in Chile. We would like to call a taxi now. Put a few things in our bag and go to the airport and go to Santiago, Valpariso, Dog Pianist, everyone!!
We feel like Krsna in Mathura writing to Radharani. Ha! Ha! Ha!

I think Krsna will take us to South America January, February, March, April next year.

So good to hear about Oscar. We are trying to advance the work with Carl Jung but first is the Bhakti vaibhava and Education in ISKCON work. We will finish that soon then we can turn to Jung with full enthusiasm.

In terms of the poems, why not do this. The current Tpp-CB is dedicated to our good friend Lokanatha Das. Guess it will go until July 4th. Then the next one can be dedicated to you all. You can select poems from that and other work. If they have any value it is because Lord Caitanya's mercy goes to the most fallen first.

Please write us some news about yourself in general. Your life is an example for many others and we can discuss the general points here!

How is the Arjuna Das?

See you soon. HpS - ASA

GURUDEVA THIS IS MY NEW LETTER FROM TODAY: (translation by Google)

All glories to Srila Prabhupada
dear Gurudeva
Please accept my most humble obeisances


Here is bhakta Rodrigo Hernández from  Santiago de Chile. Sorry. Sorry. I can’t to write  before!

The  last two months have been very intense and complicated for me!


Thank you very much for your last letter / reply. Your letter is the most beautiful letter I have ever received in my life. Fortunately I was able to save on my computer 90% of our letters and skype conversations.


This is a personal letter. I have not been very good in recent months. Many problems with the mind and body. Also many concerns, they are all from the material world.


Your mercy is so great that you do not see my flaws, ofenses and Anarthas!


Every winter we must adapt to living with little sunlight. The lack of light affects our mood, our mind and intelligence. We use more electricity light. Our energy is very low. Sometimes we drink ‘bebidas’ that contains some caffeine. The problem is that this breaks principles! I'm sleeping so much and  I'm not chanting 16 rounds!!


Bipolar depression is our enemy for the last 17 years (In Octuber: I'm 40 years old). Every night we take our medicine (900 mg de Quetiapine. It’s a high dosis).

NOW I'm attending Adaba therapy, the therapist is very good. She is helping us a lot with our health. Also we are attending yoga classes! 2 times per week. More one day or two with sports.


On the other hand, our fear is falling in love with a non devout girl, fall in love with a beautiful woman but not practice Krishna Consciousness. Our fear is stop practicing Krishna Consciousness.

(We know two devout (girls)  who have left the process! They fall in love with a no devotees men.)

 
Actually we are confused with our emotions and feelings. There are some girls interested in us. How to make the right decision, if our heart and mind is bipolar and surrealist?

 

Also, there is many problems and anxieties at work. We are organizing two major cultural projects:
* One is with the Embassy of Portugal, Camoes Institute and the National Library. An exhibition in December.
* Our second project is a full day of activities in honor of the 120th anniversary of the Chilean poet Pablo Rokha (1894-1968). He is one of the great Chilean poets, He was suicide!



I write this poem for you:

Nosotros somos tan tontos que cantamos a la belleza del mundo material
mientras que los Paramahansas, los cisnes de Srila Prabhupada,
viven y sueñan con el Señor Supremo.

pd: Andre Breton was a french poet and the big boss for all surrealist! I send you a cover's book very famous!


With my most respectful obeisances
Ss Bhakta Rodrigo

HpS - ASA - AGTSP - paoho. Thank you so much. I think that your life is complicated. If you can work at such a high level of professional art and have a personal life of lust for a wife and family, this indicates a lot of intelligence. Maybe you were Indra in your last life.
What you could do if you were not manic-depressive?!

Actually you sound like you are just normal-depressive!
The solution must be very personal. You must chant as much as you can, read Srila Prabhupada's books as much as you can. Find devotees to read and chant with. Make reading and chanting group.

Preach what you know. Then you will see a good solution through practical means.
I will ask Nitai-gauransundara Das about you. He is psychiatrist.

Really you are doing pretty well. Just be enthusiastic to do what you can do.

URGENT - ASA MEXICO

Dear Gurumaharaja:

Please accept our obeisances!

All glories to Srila Prabhupada!

We learned through the blog being planned dates for some countries in South America for the Education Symposium in early 2015 are very interested to know: is there any chance that this symposium will also be held in Mexico ?

Lord Krishna made His arrangements and under His inspiration Gurumaharaja, we organize the recent seminar, which follow:

Firstly, we thank you for your gracious participation in the recent "Education Seminar: ISKCON in pursuit of integral development" held in the Temple of Sri Sri Radha Madana Gopal - Mexico.

In its course, the speakers presented topics interest us most:

1- "Sastric Education" by Krishna Balarama prabhu

2 "Homeschooling" Aruddha Mataji  and Hare Krishna prabhu.

3.- "Using technology as a tool for education by Crecer  Vaisnava."

4.- "Report of the Sunday school ASA Kids educational program."

5: "Report of the first Symposium. Northern American education Govinda Pramodini dd".

All topics were very good.

"Homeschool" became real interest to our attendees, to share with us the experience of teaching in their own homes with their children Krishna consciousness very effective methods.

Many practical questions about how to do this work in their homes, and to better use technology in education and the work plan of ASA kids.

A great contribution of Krishna Balarama Prabhu about the meaning of "organized education"

I humbly believe that this seminar is a short introduction to the Symposium on Education in South America scheduled for early 2015.

Gurumaharaja thank you very much for teaching us to make the best use the "donkey" and continue our efforts.

Gurumaharaja, devotees of Mexico City, are eager to ask if it is possible to hold its Vyasa- Puja Sri Sri Radha Madan Gopal Mandir?

We pray to the Lord for His protection Nrisimhadeva in the service of our beloved spiritual master.

Please excuse our offenses.

We remain attentive to their instructions.

ASA Mexico

HPS - ASA - AGTSP. Paoho. We will look for the date of HpS - Vyasa-puja. Your report is super. We are sorry we are weak and maybe distracted by so many things, but we hope by the unlimited mercy of  Srila Prabhupada we will IMPROVE in our flexibility in avoid the witch and always be involved in communicating with you all.

We will look for travel from Mexico to South America.
Are day care centers, Kinder level schools prominent in Mexico? We have a franchise so that devotees can have their 4-5 year old children in their school and also children of other devotees and nice people? Respects to President and Krsna Balarama! This is the greatest Sankirtan!!!

AGTSP!
paoh..0'........
Made it to New Bihar-van, Boise, Idaho.
Had a ripping sore throat and fever starting yesterday when we left New Badarikashrama, Denver and today it blossomed!

 

Ooof.
 

We are trying to adjust Br. Asses load like all of you and then it is devotional service, so we can always be happy. We are unhappy when we to live without disease and death in this material world.

It it is a joke.

So today, four class programs that were essential. Mangala arati was so nice for our health - Dancing and chanting under our breath as Radhika lead.

HK/HR!

We finished 26-rounds yesterday which was a lot while traveling!
We have to adjust the Japa. Devamrta Swami does 25-while at home and only 16-while traveling. Of course the real thing is to chant all the time on or off beads but 16-good rounds minimum and we definetely want to adjust our other service so we can get 25-day.

O.K. . . . Feel like a car ran over Br. Ass but happy.
 

Candramukhi Devi Dasi had a fever on Tuesday. LAD said he answered our letter but we can't find it. Jagat and M. Yugala had great questions and comments for BhVai today.
 

5.22PM. A little Japa and then bath and 7PM our last program. Home program with about 45-Indian engineers et al.

We are winning!!!

O.K. Thank you so much for your association!

About 20-letters to answer. Tomorrow we go to Boise.

In the chaos of dying, what ideas do you want to hang on to?

That is all you can take with you, your understanding of things, memories. Hang on to a few of them?

Hare Krishna Maharaja, please accept my obeisances. Agtsp I'm camilo from sydney. The reason for this post is that I've been considering the fact of spend a few years in the sydney temple as monk, by many things, for example that I need to learn how to train my mind, and also learn how to serve the guru properly, and at least have a basic understanding and study the vedas to preach much better. Because I thought that if I move in to govindas ashram, which is a good place to have a glimpse of bramhacari life or what live under a spiritual authority means, and to develop a service attitude ,is Okey. But isn't like a real temple life, really absorbed in Krishna and having no association with women. So I said, better to do it all at once, or better to do it as it should be done to get the spiritual benefits of it. And the other reason is sort of like an astrological thing, because I did a chart with a devotee and she said that I have to do it before being married. I just hope to receive the mercy to be qualified to do it and don't fall in the mind , because I'm very emotional sometimes hahaha. And another thing I've been thinking is if I should talk about my tendencies, like for example, I love music and play mridanga, harmonium, piano, etc. Well, I think that's all. Thanks for your time. Hare Krishna Maharaja. Trying to be your servant, camilo.

HpS - ASA -- AGTSP. Why not try it for some time. Then see the result!!!
