Persiguiendo un sueño

Querido Guru Maharaja. PAOHO

Las noticias de su venida son las mejores y las más esperadas.

Hace poco en una clase de literatura, la profesora contó la historia de Ramayana, la conto mal pero me sorprendió que la conociera, otro profesor que hablaba de la creación del mundo y criticaba el dogma católico, luego de conversar con Él  me dijo que los Tahoistas y en los vedas hay respuestas, los profesores inocentes inquisitivos son las mejores personas para predicar.

Por bendición de Krsna pese a todo problemas transitorios, las nuevas juntas, la subida del alquiler, que pongan en ansiedad a devotos, medidas arbitrarias como que las deidades no vayan Chosica en las fiestas principales, etc. vivimos en un templo así que siempre estoy en asociación  con devotos, despierto con ellos y me duermo viéndolos, este años si continuaba con mil servicios como antes, nunca podría cumplir la meta de la pirámide de Maslov, y según creo salvo los estudiantes de las escrituras que son pocos, no tengo mucha asociación de intelectuales y es necesario si uno desea enseñar asociarse con educadores, es por eso que después de pensar detenidamente en nuestra conversación a principios de año sobre estudios, vi una oportunidad de continuar mi formación estudiando educación, es mi deseo, me fascina la literatura y la historia, entonces voy ´por ese camino, ahora ayudo a mantener a mi padre junto con mis hermanos y no dispongo de muchos ingresos, por segunda carrera algunas estales te cobran, algunos tontos piensas que los que distribuimos libros somos ricos no es cierto no es lo único que hacemos, entonces estoy empezando desde cero voy a tratar de ingresar a una universidad, una que queda cerca del templo y tiene prestigio, así podré estudiar sin pagar, es el plan, si Krsna quiere lo lograré pues las matemáticas no son mi fuerte, el que quiere celeste que le cueste, debo fijar mi mente en este objetivo. Es una etapa muy bonita, soy la estudiante más entusiasta, amo el conocimiento y si por el momento no voy mucho a Chosica es natural vivo Wilson, un templo muy activo, observo mi vida y veo algo muy bueno, pero falta equilibrio, mi madre siempre fue un ejemplo de profesora y así me inspiro, no es como la religión católica que mantiene a sus devotos monjes, en ISKCON cada uno debe buscar la forma para sobrevivir, no es exageración. Y la manera más bella de vivir para mi es estudiar y enseñar, Ud. también nos inspira con su empuje constante a la educación, entonces debo prepararme, estar a la altura de las exigencias del mundo moderno.

Bueno soñar no cuesta nada, una vez más pido sus bendiciones sin ellas no hay sentido para seguir.

Estamos refelices por su venida, ojala podamos darle buenas noticias muy pronto!

Hari bolo!

Dear Guru Maharaja. PAOHO 

The news of his coming are the best and the most anticipated. 

Recently in a literature class, the teacher told the story of Ramayana, the counted wrong but I was surprised that knew her, another teacher who spoke of the creation of the world and criticized the Catholic dogma, after talking with him he told me that Tahoistas and the Vedas are no answers, inquisitive innocent teachers are the best people to preach. 

By blessing of Krsna nevertheless transient problems, new gaskets, rising rent, put anxious devotees, arbitrary measures such as the deities not go Chosica in major festivals, etc. live in a temple so I'm always in association with devotees awake with them and fall asleep watching this year if he continued thousand services as before, I could never meet the target pyramid Maslov, as I believe except students from scriptures that few, I have little association of intellectuals and is necessary if one wants to teach partnering with educators, is why after carefully thinking about our conversation earlier this year about studies, I saw an opportunity to continue my education studying education, it is my desire, I love literature and history, then I'll'por that way, now I help keep my father along with my brothers and I do not have much income for the second race some STATE, charge you, some fools think the we distribute books we are rich is not true is not all we do, so I'm starting from scratch will try to enter a university, which is near the temple and has prestige, so I can study without pay, is the plan, if Krsna wants'll make it because math is not my forte, he wants the sky to cost you, should I set my mind on this goal. It is a very nice stage, I am the most enthusiastic student, master the knowledge and if We do not often go to Chosica is natural living Wilson, an active temple, I see my life and see something very good, but lacks balance, my mother it was always an example of a teacher and inspired me so, it's not like the Catholic religion that keeps its monks devotees in ISKCON each must find a way to survive, is not exaggeration. And the most beautiful way of life for me is to study and teach you. Also inspires us with his constant push to education, then I must prepare myself to live up to the demands of the modern world.

Well dreaming is once again ask for your blessings without it there is no sense to continue. 

We are refelices by his coming, hopefully we can give you good news soon! 

Hari bolo!

Important! about diksa / siksa guru

9 years, 7 months ago by Bhaktin Belen S. in Personal Sadhana Reports, Hot Topics

Dear Gurudeva,
All glories to Srila Prabhupada Patita Pavana
All glories to ALL devotees!
Please accept my humble obeisances at your lotus feet.

Well, this letter is very very important for me, but if you consider that is not urgent, please answer me when you think necessary.

I had special mercy to take association with a great soul last week:  your God-brother, HG Mahatma Das and many strong and deep feelings that never had felt, happened in my heart and still there until now. I don't want that sounds sentimentalism but it's what I feel and my mind can't leave to think about it from I started to know him through his classes, interviews, kirtan until before he left.  And I felt so confused and guilty because of that things.. because I had started to think about our relationship of guru/disciple and because I doubted about my diksa guru - you -  because that feelings was really strong. I can't describe it. So I told him and he calm me saying, among other things, that It's not unnatural to feel affection for many devotees as I can have many siksha gurus, and it is not unnatural to have deep affection for one or more of those gurus. And.. if I really feel a very closed connection with him now or later as a diksa guru, I should present to you honestly. So here I am. I feel that deep connection with him but also guilty because this could have been avoided, perhaps waiting more time.. Anyway, I really need to be honest with you although hurts, because you are my gurudeva for whom I feel so much deep affection and this won't change. But all these days, I am getting up with a very big weighted backpack because of this feelings that I could. Because Also You are in my heart.

I have been followguiding 4 principles, 16 rounds, doing fixed services in the temple (pujari an altar decoration), studying bhakti sastri and still in all of that. I will continue following your instructions trying to serve to Srila Prabupada's mission and getting association with your amazing disciples. I really need to open up to you and to my god brothers and If you please, I would really like to still serve you. I going to still being your disciple until I leave my body because of your mercy I can be someone in this life. Please forgive my offenses. I don't know how should I proceed now... I need your blessings.

Sincerily,
trying to serve you with love and affection,

Bhaktin Belen.

Pictures of Radhastami

HpS - AGTSP. Paoho. Such a nice letter, thank you. This is why we have "Nectar of Devotion" from Rupa Goswami. If we are going to study chemistry it can be very dangerous combining chemicals without proper guidance. We can blow up our house and our parents with it.

On the other hand Krsna understands that we are fools so He doesn't give us scissors with points, but gives us the kids scissors with rounded points etc.

I think you might like Prabhupada's persprective in SB 8.24-50-53.

Unless we understand that Diksa, Siksa, Pati, Astra, Rasa Gurus are all just representatives of Krsna and that Krsna is our Master, Friend, Father, Beloved then we will find it hard to organize these different relations.

Mahatma Das and I are friends. We have served in different parts of ISKCON so we have not had a lot of detailed asociation, but as far as I know he is a very nice devotee. How are our "Gurus" connecting us to Srila Prabhupada? How are they, Prabhupada, connecting us to Lord Gaurasundara...

O.K? It seems to mee that you should just keep Srila Prabhupada in the center and then you can see all of this disciples as Diksa, Siksa or others types of Gurus clearly. Of course, even in Goloka people are growing their relationships. Some follow Radha, some follow Candravali, some follow Pallika and some are mixing both. Rohini, Balarama's mother, participates in both Vrndavana and Mathura lila.

Hare Krsna!

Hare krishna Maharaj ! Please accept my humble obiansces . All the glories to Srila Prabhupada! 

Maharaj, i hope you are very well! i know you are travelling a lot and you dont have much time! I only wanted to ask because I would like to have the oportunity to meet you Maharaj. As i told you before Ism from Peru but iam living in Argentina, every year I go in the summer to peru to visit my family. I know you are coming to argentina in january and then you will be in chile. i wanted to know, if you will be in peru in Lima, in February , and if so if it would be posible to meet you there?  Iam trying to organize the vacations and my familly is telling me to please go for the christmast and new year because is the time they have holidays also.  That would make it dificult for me to come back for the time you will be here in january

So in order to organize this and maybe stay more time , meaning february in peru i would like to know if you will be there and if it would be posible to meet you there.

Iam sorry Maharaj to ask you this things, is only that i would be sad if you come here and i cannot meet you and also if you go to peru and i cannot be in the same time! 

HpS - ASA - Thank You. If you go to jayarama.us/kb/cal.htm you should see the South American dates all there. If not write again.

Apart from that maharaj, one question, iam still struggling with service, i cannot find a service i can do. I feel that with doing the rounds, worshipping the deities, following the principles i have no dificulty , I enjoy it ! But finding a service i could do i having dificulty, why can this be ? 

HpS - Hmmm! I don't know. Just keep chantng and asking Krsna. It took Draupadi a long time to understand why all the things were happening to her.

I consider myself as a not very sociable person, maybe this is why ? 

Thank you very much maharaj !! I hope you are great!! Iam sorry for any offenses i could have done in this writting!

urgent - symposium

9 years, 7 months ago by Bhaktina Romi in Calendar Development

Hare Krsna!
AGT HDG ACBSP!
AGT You!

pamho.
hope u have a great Radhastami!!!

HpS - ASA - It was!

Dear Gurudeva:
Some questions:

1. JUNG priority. OK. By your and SP Mercy and Nikuñja Bihari old contact we talk good with the psycologist. You want to take 2 meetings about this theme, 1 open like the last year in the CSM and other with leading figures, here in Arg? If both no, which one?

HpS - ASA -- If there is time, both seem nice, but in a bigger public salon where as many devotees from the Temple who want to attend can also attend.

2. Education? You want to give again the seminar here in Bs.As? It can be given in only one day? Have the same text copies like last year or new?  I got one called  "A Philosophy of Education - Primary Principles"  translated and vised. [ if some godbrother read it, and need the material please write me to: [email protected] and i will send ]

HpS - ASA - It is 4-months and three days until we arrive so we can refine the details, but Education in ISKCON seems like the basic theme. Let us see how much time we have in different places, how many devotees are going to Chile etc.

3. How much is the maximum of programs to give in 5 days? (Including Sunday feast)

One, maybe two a day if the audiences are big.

Thanks for asks. For now, nothing more :)
Thanks for your patience and your example !!
Your disciple who want to be your servant.
Rati-Manjari Devi Dasi.

AGTSP. Thank you for your effort. We hope to talk with local Web designer here and then include you in the NIOS webpage development. Very much luck in your Sankirtan. May Monkey and Piggy spificate your brains.
 

ps. Come Mahatma Das Maharaja, was GREAT! I learn many things and he encourage me a lot to can heal my heart and can banish my material consciousness.
Krsna always send us a rope to grab. I feel relieved. Thanks Gurudeva, All what happend is by your mercy.
aya SRILA PRABHUPADA!

Urgente! AGTSP PAMHO

PAMHO

Dear Guru Maharaja

Espero se encuentre bien. Aquí estoy.

Le pido disculpas por no escribir seguido, no anduve muy bien estos meses, muy poca asociación y sadhu sanga. No estuve haciendo sankirtana tampoco. Me siento muy apenado y triste por errores míos este año y  me comporte mal con algunas personas y mi deseo es remediarlo de alguna manera.

HpS - ASA - AGTSP! Paoho. There is no mistake that we can make that we cannot correct.

Estoy pidiendo perdón a cada persona que genere ansiedad y que perjudique con esto. Y cuando Ud. venga aquí en Enero espero poder disculparme personalmente con Ud.

HpS - ASA - Pienso es muy suficiente esta carta. Gracias! Por mi perspectivo, que no es perfecto, Vds. es basicamente una buena persona. Aun buen personas haz errores. Claro, aprender de los errores y no los hacen otra vez, no?

Quiero ser sincero en este proceso, me esta costando bastante, sobre todo ser sincero conmigo mismo, y que decir con las demás personas.

Estoy cantando las rondas y siguiendo los principios pero mi mente a veces  se encuentra bastante agitada. No estoy lo suficiente enfocado en esto y quiero solucionarlo.

Tuve que dejar el servicio de organización de bhajans en Iskcon argentina porque no podía seguir realizándolo por falta de tiempo y stress.

De todas formas sigo sirviendo en la parte de comunicaciones y diseño grafico, y trabajando en la contaduría y administración en el templo y restaurant.

Recien hoy en Radhastami volvi a asociarme con devotos. Dependo de eso.

Feliz Radhastami!

Espero su venida a Buenos aires y poder reunirme con ud.

Disculpe mis ofensas

Gracias por leer mi carta

           HpS - Muy bien! Adelante. Mas reportajes despues de un tiempo. Fija metas practicos!
