pamho AGtSP

ahora andamos en el norte de chile en las universidades de Viña del mar

me paso algo, un nectar.  GM Sankirtan hace q reamente crea en este proceso, cosas magicas pasan a cada seguno es como si lo que leo en el SB se materializa en las calles,

estaba caminando dejandome llevar como titere en sus manos, GM,

HpS - Pienso yo tambien estoy un titere en los manos de Srila Prabhupada y pienso Vds es mejor titere que mi!

y en una voltie por una calle y no habia nadaaa, sin envargo sentia en mi corazon q debia seguir caminando, ya estaba llegando al final y no pasaba nada asi q me pensaba devolver, pero justo cuando di la vuelta..... una joven me pregunto de que son los libros, justo lo q buscabas!!!! le dije y seguido a eso una sonriza de fierro!!!!<img alt="laugh" height="23" src="http://www.hps.monkeywarrior.com/sites/all/libraries/ckeditor/plugins/smiley/images/teeth_smile.png" title="laugh" width="23" />.

ella se empezo a reir y luego cuando vio los libros se puso muy serio y se agarro la boca con la mano, no lo puedo creer!!! me dijo, que paso le pregunte!

acabo de venir de la libreria y estaba buscando estos libros pero solo encontre basuraaaaa, pero tu me has dicho q era lo q buscaba y me los entregaste!! me viste en la libreria? me pregunto, tenia la piel como de gallina y a mi se me puso igual, yo le dije q no la habia visto pero hay una energia suprema q todo lo ve ( para mi es Ud GM!) ella se llevo todos los libros y me dio mas de lo normal!!! luego fui a la libreria y les ofreci los libros, y me compraron algunos mas!!

sankirtan es el Sumun bonus de la educacion Vaisnava GM!! o no?

HpS - "... vidya vadu jivanam .... param vijayate sri krsna sankirtanam..."

. . . en su carta anterior me pregunto q va a pasar con mi futuro, mi respuesta es LO Q UD QUIERA GM!!! por ahora espero seguir en la calle despues de aqui vamos a panama a colectar para el SR Jagannath (nos invitaron al festival) y uego quiero ir a Huston al simposio de educacion  que hace mi heroe Hanumatpresaka Swami, quiza luego a la india o la tumba no lo se!

HpS - Nuestra GRAN amigo. Hari-lila Das (68 anos), Indu, y su familia y unos otros van al Rathayatra de Panama. Es Houston.  Lalita-gopi y Saranagati de Mexico va a el Simposium de education en Houston. Manana comprara boleto como 3-10 Agosto en Mexico.

Sankirtan!

GM es q hace algunos dias soñe con Ud! y ud estaba con muchas personas y de repente pidio q a todos que salieran y me dijo: TIENE UNA PREGUNTA  POR HACERME?, como siempre siempre que estoy junto a ud me paralice y no le pregunte nada asi q ud sonrio y me dijo sigue sonrriendo, y salio de la habitacion............ pero en relidad si le queria hacer una pregunta pero me parecio muy loca para hacersela personalmente en el sueño, pero se la quiero hacer igual, mi pregunta era como puedo asociarme con vaisnavas como Narada Muni o el Sr Siva en esta vida (Narada Muni es un nectar como mi heroe!) (se que uds tienen contacto con ellos pero es solo para devotos puros?) Jayapataka Swami el año pasado en un parikema dijo q en un arbol esta el Sr Siva y pregunto: quien puede verlo hay esta? ..................<img alt="surprise" height="23" src="http://www.hps.monkeywarrior.com/sites/all/libraries/ckeditor/plugins/smiley/images/omg_smile.png" title="surprise" width="23" /><img alt="surprise" height="23" src="http://www.hps.monkeywarrior.com/sites/all/libraries/ckeditor/plugins/smiley/images/omg_smile.png" title="surprise" width="23" /><img alt="surprise" height="23" src="http://www.hps.monkeywarrior.com/sites/all/libraries/ckeditor/plugins/smiley/images/omg_smile.png" title="surprise" width="23" />

Dear Guru maharaja please accept all my obeisance.
All glories to Srila Prabhupada and his Sankirtan Movement.
Gurudeva! All is ready, I have the tickets for visit you in Villa Vrindavan, Temple of Madrid and Radhadesha. Just need speak with commanders of ashrams. This is totally a dream, I just can imagine walking behind of you and try to be a servant,  at least try...
I'm reading the Kapi Dhuaya now, its really inspiration.
With the hope of see you soon.
His slow servant Satyabhama dd

HpS - Ahhhh!   AGTSP paoho.   I hope you saw our news.   Italy conference has been cancelled!  We lost $147 on the change but personally I think the organizers are working as hard as you and me. We will be in Spain then that week end. In any case, your effort has already got you Krsna's association. He will be staying with you all that time, of course He is sometimes more trouble than He is worth.

All Glories to Sri Guruji Maharaja and Grouranga Mahaprabhu

Radha Krsna Ki Jay and Goura Bhakta Vrnda Ki Jay

Please accept my humble obeisances unto Guruji's padmacharan that I could not understand the 

" One man is in Manipur and that is all he sees. Another man is in Manipur and he sees it in terms of very practical relationship with India, Earth, Brahmanda!"

Please instruct us the minimum requirements of a beisnava and daily duties for all of us. We the initiated bhaktas a group is doing weekly programe of Satsanga-namasankirtana, Krsna Katha and day to day discussion of a particular topics. All our programe are started after Guru Bandana. Please aasirbad us from the  distance so as to enable us to continue regularly and more better performance and to increase our spiritual knowledge.

<img src="https://ssl.gstatic.com/ui/v1/icons/mail/images/cleardot.gif" />HpS - ASA - Jaya!   AGTSP paoho.      We were so busy in Houston Temple for one week. They are starting a Pre-school and Primary school. We helped with that. We gave four Bhakti-vaibhava classes (Canto One - Six Diploma) and several Temple and outside preaching programs. We have changed our ticket. Now we arrive in India on Monday, 4th May, Delhi.

Look at posting here in the Blog for India Calendar.

Priorities are:

1. Chant Hare Krsna as much as you can. At least 16 enthusiastic rounds on beads.

2. Follow four principles strictly.

3. Brahma-muhurta, Mangala-arati, Kirtan, Srimad Bhagavatam

4. Evening Arati, Kirtan, Reading (with others).

5. Help Lord Caitanya in His Sankirtan movement by preaching, distribution of books, giving donations, cleaning temple, dressing deity, distribution of prasadam .....

Hare Krsna!
Who else is there with you in Thoubal?

Thank you.

We won't be able to answer letters from 3rd-27th of May. We will put the details in the Kapi Dhavja.

Hare Krsna Dear Gurudeva

All glories to Srila Prabhupada and U   ____'0_ 

pamho

Here we are! Alive!  

KAPI DHVAJA IS TRANSLATED AND POSTED!!!

We finished our 6th cicle at university and now VACATIONS!!! at least until new cicle opens so we have to wait. In the meantime we are going to travel.

However our true mission remains; 16R,4P,MA with enthusiasm, patience and intelligence. Be useful  in some way in your Sankirtan dear Gurudeva.

regarding your questions...

HpS - How is your family? What are they doing? How is the Yatra? Are you doing Pujari work? What do you learn of practical value in school? Any nice people at school? How are you kidneys...

Family is ok. My dad is 88 years old, so he is very weak now. Mom is taking care of him. they basically are at home... My mom got crazy by reading Teachings of Queen Kuntī, she felt so identified with some prayers.

Unfortunately now i have no direct service in temple but i hope back to do some service in pujari. 

As you told me before we can always learn from others, for example something i like is that at school i learn from a lot of strategies to teach. All my classmates are very nice... They dont call me as my civil name but as Patrak das, they are teachers from diferent schools and methodologies so i learn a lot. I have one friend who teaches in Waldorf schools, i love that kind of teaching.

Kidneys are very very well. But i still have to take a lot of pills. it doesnt matter if i can get up and chant my rounds and read Srimad Bhagavatam... Its so excited!

Thanks a lot for being such an inspiration for me.

yours in service

Patraka Das

HpS - ASA ---  AGTSP    paoho.  Thank you for your news!      It is all very inspiring for us.     Are you developing internally?   Then it will begin to show, shine, externally as it gets stronger. If Krsna wants you can be a great leader for many people, by example, preaching, writing, singing, teaching.

Please send us a Krsna Conscious review of some of the preaching strategies.

Hare Krsna Dear Gurudev,
    Please accept my humble obeisances at your lotus feet.
    All glories to Srila Prabhupada.
    All glories to Guru parampara.

    Gurudev, just checked the blog and got your message, that you will reach in India on 4th May rather 7th May!!

    checked tickets immdiately from 1 May to 7 May, but tickets are not available. ......sad.....very very sad.<img alt="crying" height="23" src="http://www.hps.monkeywarrior.com/sites/all/libraries/ckeditor/plugins/smiley/images/cry_smile.png" title="crying" width="23" />

    How long you are going to stay in Delhi (from 4th May to 13 May 2015)? What will be your new schedule for India?

    I will try to get new tickets for 1st or 2nd or 3rd May and will come. Else i will have no other option, and have to come as per already booked tickets.

your fallen servant,
Girivaradhari-Gopal Das

HpS - AGTSP paoho. Yes, this program is having last minute changes because we are trying get the Book Released by the President. We will be leaving the 13th at 2.30AM as before. So it is O.K. We will see each other during the rest of our visit and can co-ordinate our service!

AGTSP paoho

We received a message from a devotee in the ABC Temple, but it is a comment that we get often, so we thought we would answer here. If you have a confidential letter then 1) You can just talk about the general princples and not name specific people, 2) You can even open a different account and post it there. Pretty much if you can discuss it wih us privately you can at leaset discuss it in general terms here. Then we can give out opinion and sixteen more devotees will get the same question answered.

The problem is that the atmosphere in the Temple seems to have changed a lot. Devotees are doing things superficially. They criticize each other frequently, so the devotee then feels depressed about going to Festivals, regular Temple programs and visits sometimes privately and ocassionally with a few devotees, but doesn't discuss this problem with others so as not to contaminate their consciousness.

1) One reporter asked Prabhupada if there were problems in his Temples. Prabhupada answere, "This is the material world. There are problems everywhere."

Even when Krsna was personally present in Vrndavana there were demons causing mis-carriages for the girls.

So, we never expect the ISKCON Temples to be free from problems. Maharaja Pariksit was unfairly cursed by a Brahmana boy, but he took it as impetous to get free from his attachment. So the problems are good.

2) Sometimes the Temple is super enthusiastic, some times it is not. Sometimes our Madhyama adhikari guru falls down, some times our movment is divided into political factions, but in all cases we have only one choice, take shelter of Srila Prabhupada and go on.

3) Prabhupada told devotees that even if they felt they were the most advanced devotees in the Temple still they shold go to class. If they gave all the classes that was still O.K.

So, basic principle is we should go to the Temple and give our association to the devotees. Yes, we can look for more advanced devotees there and spend more time with them at the Temple or individually.
The very fact that there are some ISKCON rituals and ISKCON Festivals means that there is some association. At least they will benefit from our advanced position.

You may say, "Oh, no! I am worse than others!"

No, if we can see the problem and want to give positive energy to the situation then at least we are more advanced than those who can't see it or just want to exploit it.
4) Krsna sends the association. We are getting what we need right now.

So please, Monkey Warriors contribute your perspectives and questions here.
