9.47PM  --  Quiting Time. 

It's amazing, just when we are getting a headache (threat of a brain stroke) it is time to stop writing.

Today we got up a 1.15AM > Japa Joe-Joe-Joe (Murari, Raghunatha, Mani-sati-sita et al al al), 16-rounds, TPP-CB/6 writing, Mangala-arati, >>>> To NGD ashrama in the 1997 Cutlass. Class in Spanish, Class in English, HOT SUNSHINE >>> Town 'Farmer's Market'. It was boring.... Looking for Orange Juice.... Diahrea from too many chiles in the breakfast for us. >>>> Running to the bathroom five times, extra rest, but in some ways was purifying. Getting ready for Ekadasi.
Back up by 5PM. 50-minutes talk with LAD in Lima, walk around the block. Our block reminds us a little of Srila Prabhupada's first days in the Bowery with violent drunks, trash in the street etc. but cool air after the blazing sunshine of the day. Sandhya arati on Start Meeting. Hot (condensed little) milk for Lord Nrsmhadeva, Blog letters and now ready to rest!
OINK!
Lord Nrsmha, Hanuman, Srila Prabhupada, Japa Mala et al look happy (but could be more ecstatic).

  • One fan died yesterday and another today, but we fixed the one yesterday.
  • HK / HR and Krsna gives us a Sankirtan plan!
  • BhVai just finished SB 5.10 (Jada Bharata answering M. Rahug.) tomorrow we write and post our essay. Thank you for your news in the Blog!!!

Todas las glorias a Srila Prabhupada .

Hare krishna maharaja, debido a que es más fácil dirigirse a usted a travez de cartas, lo saludo y espero que su prédica en la misión de Srila Prabhupada sea mejor cada día. Debido a los diferentes procesos de las personas que están en este mundo mejorando su conciencia, estimo lo mejor cada día para seguir sobreviviendo a este mundo material con lo que me queda de inspiración espiritual y tiempo, por eso le escribo para preguntarle , sobre el canto del maha mantra hare krishna, cuando Prabhupada estableció este mantra lo hizo abiertamente considerando que todos podiamos ser beneficiados del canto del amor del señor krishna. Pero por que a veces es recomendable cantar con la guía adecuada, ya que podemos cometer ofensas. ??? por qué a veces es indispensable tomar iniciación de un guru para cantarlo mejor?, puede suceder que nos iniciamos, y caemos o tocamos fondo en nuestro karma, y no continuamos bién, y es mejor no haber tomado esa iniciación.?...       Le cuento, que ahora quiero comenzar a retomar algunas rondas al día, pero yo no sé si esto es beneficioso ya que cantar mantras sin una guía preescrita puede ser perjudicial. La verdad es que me siento muy comoda cantando algunas rondas, por salud, mente y corazón.  Es posible cantar solo bajo el refugio de un maestro como Srila Prabhupada? Me gustaría que hubiera mas actividades de los devotos por acá en Valparaíso, pero se han dejado de hacer programas. .. También quiero contarle que mi hija ya cumplió dos años, y sigo con los estudios de música aplicados a diferentes contextos. .. .. Mis reverencias a su persona y cualidad. Hare Krishna.

All glories to Srila Prabhupada. 

Hare Krishna Maharaja, because it is easier to talk to you travez letters, greeted him and hope that his preaching mission of Srila Prabhupada better every day. Due to the different processes of people in this world are improving their awareness, I think your best every day to keep surviving in this material world with what I have left of spiritual inspiration and time, so I wanted to ask you, on the edge hare krishna maha mantra when Prabhupada established this mantra did openly considering all we could be benefited singing lord krishna love. But sometimes it is advisable to sing with proper guidance, because we can commit offenses. ??? why sometimes it is essential to take initiation from a guru to sing better?, may be that we started, and we fall or hit bottom in our karma, and also did not continue, and it is better not to have taken this initiation.? ... Le story, now I begin to pick up a few rounds, but I do not know if this is beneficial as chanting mantras without prewritten guide can be harmful. The truth is that I feel very comfortable singing some rounds, for health, mind and heart. You may sing along under the shelter of a master like Srila Prabhupada? I wish there were more activities of the devotees here in Valparaiso, but have stopped making programs. Also .. I want to tell my daughter and served two years, and continue with music studies applied to different contexts. My obeisances .... his person and quality. Hare Krishna.

Lord Caitanya is God. He is the cause of all causes. He knows you better than anyone. He says that by chanting Holy Names people will become purified. It is like eating food. If you eat there will always be some effect, but if you eat according to a good standard then there will be a good effect. At some point you start to get advice from a nutritionist about how to eat. At another level you formally accept him as your instructor and he guarantees that if you follow his diet then you will recover your health. Diksa is this formal contract.

All glories to their lordships Sri Sri goura nitai 

All glories to Srila Prabhupada 

P.A.M.H.O. 

Dear gurudeva

first of all, I hope your health this well, and that your activities too.<img alt="yes" height="23" src="http://hps-d6.monkeywarrior.com/sites/all/libraries/ckeditor/plugins/smiley/images/thumbs_up.png" title="yes" width="23" />

my report after a few months is as follows 

I chant my 16 rounds daily, my 4 regulative principles are ok, I read the book Krsna at night.

             ASA - AGTSP!!!!  So do we!

I worship my deities at home, I will not say that my spiritual life is perfect, because it is not, lol, there are days that ended rounds in the afternoon , or reading days I leave for other days (I like to read, so it is not repeated many times ) I think reading is easier some days, than these rounds. <img alt="blush" height="23" src="http://hps-d6.monkeywarrior.com/sites/all/libraries/ckeditor/plugins/smiley/images/embarrassed_smile.png" title="blush" width="23" />

this last period I've been working, the work is a little tricky at times, time and distance, as I move my city to another  city some days of the week or weekends, which reduced a little temple visits, whenever possible I will visit their lordships in the temple, and I'm always in touch with friends and closest devotees, by media, internet, phone or temple. for now I'm in this, and in the near future shift to a more peaceful and just work in my city. Well lately I've been thinking about natural disasters, there are some places in the world that suffer many disasters of all types, wars, tornadoes, earthquakes, heavy rainfall, often causing many deaths.

I understand that each soul has a karma and pre-scrito duty in this world which we live experiences, good and bad, so, my question is, no physical territories that developed karma?, an example, countries, cities, towns, etc..?, independent that natural disasters are uncontrollable, it may be possible, that in places where there are more cases of natural disaster, adverse things happened in the past? or just karma is based on the spirit soul and not in physical territories?<img alt="frown" height="23" src="http://hps-d6.monkeywarrior.com/sites/all/libraries/ckeditor/plugins/smiley/images/confused_smile.png" title="frown" width="23" />

         HpS - ASA - Your English is pretty good. THANK YOU, but few mistakes. Of course some places are spiritual, Mathura, Jagannatha Puri, Badrinatha. I can't remember Srila Prabhupada directly saying that citys have Karma but I think it is a fact. We calculate the birthday of a city to get its Karma. Karma of a person extends to a city.  See - CC Antya 3.146-164

good guru maharaja, this would be my report, I will be writing more often for more news, I'm always reading the blog that clarifies some doubts, and following on twitter also their activities. Always say goodbye, so grateful, for you, reading my reports and so sorry for my bad english.

my humble obeisances at your feet 

Your eternal servant

Hare Krishna Maharaja, PAMHO, AGTSP!

I hope this letter finds you in good health. Thank you for putting your instructions in such a clear way through the Guru Tattva link. Now I have a better understanding of how much I have to qualify myself in order to serve you.

I am chanting 16 good rounds almost every day with a few exceptions. If for some reason I didn’t complete them, I do them the next day. Some days I chant even more. 4 principles, well I am always struggling with sexual lust Maharaja. I am so fallen :(

It´s been almost 3 months since I came to Mexico City. Sankirtan is tough most of the time, especially with the wrong consciousness. I do buses most of the time but it gets to a point when I find myself talking mechanically. Books don’t go and I get anxious. I am trying not to forget praying to Krishna and remembering who the real controller is. I would like to develop that mood of prayer of the great Sankirtan devotees, which always protect them. I humbly ask for your blessings so I can keep on distributing Srila Prabhupada’s books.

Now that I’m living on my own I find the attacks of Maya very disturbing. When I was living with the devotees I could control my mind better and I was somewhat regulated. Now it has become a real challenge. I am going to the programs but what I miss the most is the close relationship with the devotees by doing service together. Maybe staying in the temple one day of the week could help? :)

          ASA - AGTSP!  Certainly!!

Another subject that has been in my mind is authority. I still don’t have it clear who should be my authority in Mexico. Should this person by my Siksa Guru formally?

           ASA - There are Brahminical authoritys and Administrative authorities. The Goswamis are our ultimate Br. Author. and the GBC is our ultimate Adm authr. Upadesamrta will give you some idea how to relate to them. Of course, this is practical manifestation of purely spiritual authority within Varna-ashrama-dharma. Temple President can be more advanced devotee than one local Sannyasis but because of formal austerities the Sannyasi is given more formal respect.
You can have a practical relation in Adm. with your local Temple President???

Last month I earned my Hatha Yoga diploma. I’m starting next week in a nearby center. The idea is to introduce people to the Maha Mantra and distribute some books in the process while making some extra Laksmi. We are also having a class on Saturdays in the temple before the afternoon program. Donations are kept inside. Please give us your benediction to proceed with a right consciousness in this new program.

   ASA - Hare Krsna, Hare Rama!

Bhakti-Sastri is also going well. We just finished the first module. Very exciting :)

Please excuse my offenses,

Your aspiring servant,

Bhakta Marco
