Letters to the editor

 ! A G T S P !     Paoho & bw!!!!        Here Buck the White and Tom the Brown!  How are you?  We got a HEADHACHE, but hot-milk is heating on the stove. We put it on Medium-low and it doesn't burn but gets hot enough for a nice offering.

HOt milk and sugar goes Straight to the Brain.
 

1. We set up the storage rack we purchased, today, and cleared up the "bed room". Incredible results. Now we can see how many BBT and NIOS books we have etc.
 

2. Hawaii class. Was nice. Learn to understand the body from the SB and you have better mystical power than science will give you. Of course we use science gismos, better than the scientists!

3. Offered three baked potatoes, one baked sweet potato, two stalks of celery and about 14 almonds to Lord Nrsmhadeva for his lunch.

4. Still cold here. Lot of little work every day, no?

5. We did two NOI pptxs today. Thinking that it may become the center of our Sankirtan. Guess we upload them after a few days for your review.

We got the knowledge.
   We got the power.
We can make you happy.
  Your life will never sour!

6. We answered mail, VP offerings, and read and responded to all the Annual Reports up to one week ago. There are about 55 total. Interesting. Out of 355 initiations. About the same for Prabhupada's disciples.
Tommorrow we do up to four days ago and then finish them all by 31st December.

7. Trying to contact Rama-giridhari for a meeting. Lot of MOE stuff to set.

8. O.K. We read Jung and go to NGD/Radha Natabara's home for Friday Night Ecstacy!

May your Sankirtan reach the Pope, Barrack Obama, Putin, the Kings of Islam etc. etc.

Beloved Gurudeva, we adore this day because you are the living representative of Vyasadeva, spiritual master is the most confidential servant of the Lord, and you given us Krishna. Which other best gift we can have in this life?  We have no way of repaying you, just render some small service and see your smile.

our knowledge is so poor and our senses so crazy that is not possible understand what we are doing with this human life without your guidance. 

I just want to say Thank you so much for accept me under your spiritual shelter, and i hope one day be a disciple that you deserve. 

Govinda Pramodini DD

happy vyasa puja! Feliz navidad y año nuevo en conciencia de Krishna!

HpS - AgtSP... Thank you. Krsna's kindness is that he gives us practical, fun, challenging engagements, no?

Then we can try to pray like we see Srila Prabhupada praying, chanting, in his books. Cookies fro CCD have not come yet, but the carob cookies from Boise were nice!

  Please acept my humble obeisances

 Dear Maharaja

In this your Vyasa-puja many memories come to mind, like those days back in Lima when I used to tranlate conferences for you, then the Hanuman Express Dispactch into spanish,  all the association you were kindly giving 16 years ago.  Now this blog,  all your guidance, inspiration, all going back to your Spiritual Master Srila Prabhupada to whom you've dedicated your every moment, eight fold?   Activities of Uttama Adikaries like you are glimpses from the spiritual wolrd and the Nitya-lilas of Krishna and Gaurachandra.   Thank you for bringing the Paranpara and its river of ectasy closer !  dandavats !  juste a verse from today's Srila Prabhupada's mp3 purport on.. Manasa deha geha arpilum tua pade nanda Kishor !!!  when will that day be mine ?????  jiv jago !! jiv jago !!   Tomorrow I'll meet the bramacharies and distribute 10 books in your name  hari !  

You were right on the essay synopsis, I already see it with different eyes, may be Jung's individuation process translates as discovering your real spiritual identity as an eternal servant and associate of Krishna (for some),

HpS - Seems the same to us, but have to know him more to see how he corresponds, no?

  how can we measure  the transcendental pleasure of reading about Gauranga's Nitya Lila in Navadvipa ??  off the charts !     Got Henry Bergson's L'evolution Creatrice, wow, changes the whole game, theory of knowledge - theory of life-consciousness-evolution.   I have a question Maharaja, it is mention in NOD and other sources that pranayama in meditacion on Vishnu is an accepted process, I personally used it months ago during morning japa in meditation of Hladini Shakti and ...that's when I called you urgent etc, a glimpse of Cintamani-dhama.  etc    I feel attracted to Gauranga  and Krishna Nitya Lila meditation, seems spontaneous to me,  would like to further on, also memories of Vasudeva stage sometimes come to mind and I hanker for it...does it sound too greedy?  individualist?

     HpS - ASA --- AGTSP!!!!    Thank you your letter. We are just trying to represent the Madhyama-adhikari stage. That is sufficient to represent Parampara. Engage people in worshipping the Deity. This comes to your question. Are we experiencing Vasudeva sattva, Goloka vrndavana? It is hard for us to give even an opinion from 1,000 miles away and not having a lot of personal association with your good self. Prabhupada warns that sometimes our affective hallucinations are taken as spiritual experiences. Jung thought Nietszche was on the right path, looking for God within, not just in rituals, but that he didn't have proper guidance, didn't take proper caution and went mad. Jung would do his introspective yoga daily and have his regular psychiatric practice and family relations in the afternoon and he felt that was essential to groud him.

In the age of Kali the process is Sankirtan, no? So if we are having intense esoteric spiritual realizations, experiences, then we should really see how it is coming from Sankirtan and is for Sankirtan. The Pranayama is natural by chanting on beads, dancing, but surely we can add some conscious spiritual though mechanical tricks to control the mind eg. sit-properly.

So, we would say, don't eliminate trying for the highest state of consciousness, but keep it confidential, well certified by nice association and manifestation of high moral standard, detachment from sense gratification and Srila Prabhupada's books.

When Srila Prabhupada begins the second chapter of NOD saying that Rupa Goswami classifies devotees according to their taste what exactly is He refering to?  Like my taste is in meditation on Vishnu, means that's my way in bhakti?   if I chant 16 rounds, meditate on Vishnu, perfect that, I'm ok?      You can see I'm studying NOD, began as part of the research for the essay and now it's a whole full thing on it's own,  I wonder where Rupa Goswami got the soources for defining and explaining rasa, other than his full qualification and Chaitanya Mahaprabhu, I'll re read your essay on the matter, related to theatrical studies in India.  May need the entire Bhakti rasamrita Sindhu to fully comprehend fully, after full comprehension of NOD, I'm hooked.  may be that's why  Krishna allowed halidini shakti to visit, so my intellect would be baffled for ages !   Hari !   Hari !  Govinda !  

your servant

ASA - We looked at Chapter two on the vedabase and also Dh'dara Swami's Waves of Devotion. He is translating "taste" as atttraction. Which is how we understood it. If we have got the mercy/done the work then we have a strang attaction to service or a weak attraction and then we are qualified for the Sadhana, Bhava, or Prema Bhakti stages diferentially as he is describing!

Hari Bolo! More news. Good luck with your Sankirtan. Thank you for you intense association.

Dear Guru Maharaja,
Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada.
All glories to this day, your appearance day.
Please accept my humble offering of a few words. Thank you for your association and guidance these last three years. A disciple such as myself is nothing without guru.

I thank Srila Prabhupada for coming and giving me a chance to know Krsna and giving me knowledge that there is a godhead to go to some day. And of course I thank Him for giving you the opportunity for being my guide.

Your aspiring servant,
Rasa-mandali dasi

HpS - AGTSP!!!     Thank you for giving us all you association.   Please send us news of your immediate and extended communities, church, nation, race, gender!   We are just little whistle for Srila Prabhupada.   Surely you are doing the same, no?
