Report Purusottama Month🙏

1 year, 3 months ago by Radha Japa in Personal Sadhana Reports

Remembered Gurudeva!


Please accept my humble obeisances to your beautiful lotus feet👣🌻🌼🌷🌺🌹🙏 All glories to srila prabhupada!!!


I wish you are doing well in your wonderful kRSNA consciousness ❤

Thank you very much for Your wonderful blessings Gurudev! 🙏 I'm glad you liked Your poem 💜


Please forgive my delay in my report. I was somewhat stunned because many things happened


Franco and Gopal 💪 ===============

The strongest that happened was that Franco cut his foot on a plate. I was too scared to see the river of blood that ran from his foot!!!!... the wound reached the tendon. The first thing Franco did was put his leg up and bandage himself with a piece of cloth. He didn't want to go to the doctor. It's incredible but he knows his body quite well and he knows how to heal himself. I only helped by buying what was needed and trying to get him to rest as much as possible. He had had the tetanus vaccine happily. I wanted to call an ambulance... but he didn't want to. I have heard several very serious experiences here of people who are infected with intrahospital viruses when they go to the hospital with open wounds, and I understood Frank.

He also healed alone at home when he had a motorcycle accident, where he broke his ribs..😑😑 .. it's like RAMBO in the Uruguayan version☺


Happily he is recovering. He is already climbing the roof to build and he also recently recovered, but he started with the space where the altar will be!💖. He has a very strong and incredible will!!!


Please 🙏 I ask for your prayers for him.


HpS//ASA - Amazing! Our respects to him. Surprised he did not need stitches. Hop he is doing 16/4 with enthusiasm and gets formally initiated into Srila Prabhupada's ISKCON!


Gopal turned 11 on May 15. He still loves words, dictionaries, doing wonders with his hands, correcting my words😅. I will always beg Your Blessings for my dear son. May you always be a very happy Krsna devotee❤and may develop pure love for Radha Krsna in this life.


He didn't send any art photos because franco is very reserved and prefers not to publish😊 .happily he told me to send him the photo of Jaganatha Baladeva Subhadra that he carved a while ago. Thanks to T.B. for encouraging us to travel, it seems impossible...


Beautiful Bhagavatam 🎶❤💙🎵 ****************************

We have advanced the reading but I still want to comment (following Your merciful request) on chapter: Kali's punishment and reward:

I think that only a pure devotee is the only one who lives happily in this world. He understands that everything that happens to him is by the grace of Krsna and he does not live agitated, he lives happily. The bull was the personality of religion and despite his pain he was calm and did not want to name the alleged culprit. Just before writing my previous letter to you, I saw a documentary film about slavery in India. It is the most horrible, monstrous thing I have ever seen! The experience was so real to me that I couldn't stop thinking about it.


I thought: how could these mistreated girls stop identifying the author of their great pain... In my personal case, I have always had the great fortune that whenever someone has treated me badly, Krishna has shown me how good that person is... and that's why I naturally understood that it was only what I had to pay. . Realizing that relieves me a lot. and makes me more and more grateful to His Divine Grace for bringing us the most confidential knowledge to love krsna and make him happy and naturally be happy.


In my next report I continue to tell you about other experiences.


Thank you very much for the verse. We will always strive to move forward to put it into practice.

I don't really consider that I have the necessary intelligence to distinguish Vaishnavas.. but with the help of Krsna and His blessings Gurudev I can achieve it.. it seems necessary while we live in this world.. if you allow me in my next one. letter I will comment something about it.


please forgive any offense in this letter🙏 And receive our dandavats from Frank and Gopal

Always trying to please him:

Japa Prati Jalpa Radha Devi Dasi


HpS - Jaya! Maybe Franco can send art done by His Monkey Within. We let our Monkey Within, Tom Brown, out.


Is best letter yet.


How are Madhavendra and Family???

Murari Sevaka // NIOS Campus

1 year, 3 months ago by nkd1010 in Sankirtana / Temple Activity Reports

Dear Hanumat Presaka Swami,

   Please accept my respectful obeisances!  All glories to Srila Prabhupada!

   

    We are  praying that ISKCON Murari Sevaka will fit into Your schedule next weekend. 


HpS/ASA - AgtSP!!!! Paoho. Wovw!  We just got to this mail. We did not recognize your esteemed name.

Usually we try to answer within three to five days, and if there is no answer, devotees are welcome to send a Wake Up Call to our Whatsapp number.


It was a

Super Fragalistic Expialidoshas.

visit for all five of us in our car.

Just super.

  1. Excellent association with other visitors.
  2. Relief from motorized, industrialized life.
  3. Getting slobbered on and knocked over by Jambavan the cuddly, loveable Bear-King Dog.
  4. Talking with goats.
  5. Resting in a rustic cabin.
  6. Seeing Lord Caitanya and Nityananda face to face (4-feet tall).
  7. Association with Their pujaries including history of the devotion of Murari sevaka farm.
  8. Kirtans/Krsna katha.
  9. Real ISKCON American food feast. Baked potatoes and cherry cobbler. Gaura Nitai must be glad They came to America.

. . .


And that we become one of Your regular Temples to visit and bless and purify. 


We still have so much work to do; but we have steadily and progressively worked towards cleaning and beautifying and rebuilding the transcendental Home of Sri Sri Nitai Gaurachandra, while being granted the most special gift of caring for and worshiping Srila Prabhupada and Sri Sri Nitai Gaurachandra. 


And to offer a weekly Saturday Love Feast to all souls seeking shelter at the Lord’s Lotus Feet. 


Bhakta Ruslan and Kevin have been great supporters in this endeavor. By the extreme mercy of Guru and Gauranga we are able to serve Here.  And protect Krishna’s cows, too.  And goats.  And peacocks and peahens.  And cats.  And our 3 Great Pyrenees are guarding all of us, under the direction of Krishna in their hearts! 


We have encountered major obstacles every single step of the way.

Last Summer/Fall we went 91 days without a drop of running water on the property.  The contaminated, shallow well which was Murari’s water supply for all these years finally went dry. 


After much hardship and endeavor Murari Sevaka now has clean, stable water coming in.


With Bhakta Kevin’s help we are ready to attract hundreds of new devotees in the area with Harinama/Sankirtan and bring back the already existing Devotees who no longer participate at Murari and sculpt out the most beautiful Abode in the state of Tennessee for the pleasure of Sri Sri Nitai-Gaurachandra and Srila Prabhupada and my Guru Maharaja and all the Devotees and Neighbors and Pilgrims.


And we would like to offer our services and whatever we have to You and NIOS. 


    Yesterday I mowed and cleared a nice japa trail for Your visit, through the beautiful valley directly North of the Temple Building.  Tomorrow I will widen it enough to comfortably accommodate at least 3 people side by side. 


Joey Burns, our amazing plumber is coming out to install a toilet and plumb in a shower for the men’s side of the bathhouse tomorrow morning as well.


HpS - Yes, we were observing all these things and noting that this was only by effort of big personal contributions.


    Please mercifully accept our invitation and come out to Murari next week.  We are looking so forward to hearing from and serving You.  And I pray this message was not too terribly long.

                   Your servant,

                   Mitravinda gopi dd

   

HpS - It is not too long.

When we saw that Gaura-Nitai had given us $201 in donations, we felt embarrassed, so we put $100 back in Their donation box for more service as guided by Their pujaris.


We expect to leave our present body in Fall 2024, so we are trying to consolidate our things, plans, relationships.

Maybe we come back as children in Murari.


Murari has seemed to far away for easy development from Nashville of Atlanta. I heard that it was planned as a combined rural center for both, but it seems too far away for either!!! ?


We have been looking to develop a Campus near Nashville for "Teacher Training" and "Educational Administrator Training" for ISKCON et al. Then the teachers and administrators can organize the rest of our institutional education.

The Buddhists had Nalanda.

The Mormons have Brigham Young University.


Nashville is centrally located for national transportation.

Not as crowed as East Coast.

Many churches seem to already have their Universities here.


It would seem nice to have a Campus 24-minutes from the airport:

Land Friday after noon.

The Campus station wagon picks you all up with other arrivals.

Get settled in to the well arranged accommodations.

Friday evening reception for students and like dinner.

Saturday morning three classes.

Afternoon workshops.

Evening entertainment.

Sunday morning closure and connected up to continue your classes on-line and return after six to twelve weeks.


Thirty residential students, 30-seminar students/weekend. 12-teachers.

Six vanaprastha/brahmans owning their own houses around the central campus.

Behind them garden, orchard and animal space.


Other devotees buy property within bicycle distance.


FM radio station with five mile radius.


😃 Of course, all this could change quickly if China, or Russia, or Canada starts a nuclear war etc.


What service base would you envision for Murari?

Hare Krsna Srila Gurudev

1 year, 3 months ago by RiturajMajumder in Personal Sadhana Reports

Hare Krsna Srila Gurudev

All Glories to Srila Prabhupada


Dandavat Pranam at your lotus feet.


HpS/ASA - Lettuce Feet! AgtSP! So nice to chat with you also, today. Sorry one week and not three days to respond.

Went out to Murari farm, 1-12/ hours from here with five devotees. No cellular connection etc.

So nice to chat with you, Dr. Frog.


Since the letter where I was fixed, my sadhana again was having ups and downs. Now again back to better rounds and regulations.


ASA - https://vedabase.io/en/library/bg/2/40/


Last 2 months I traveled to Badrinath, Vrindavan, Mayapur and Sri Rangam.

Just yesterday I was in Sri Rangam. I was very much remembering you all the time.


ASA - Su, SU, SUUUPER! https://vedabase.io/en/library/cc/adi/9/41/


1) Today I heard a lecture by you that was spoken in Iskcon Houston, 2 years back. You said that we must develop Internal qualities rather than external of Vaishnava. What does it really mean?


HpS - Boy! I don't know the context etc. Two years ago we were different people, just like you, no?

Bahir nrsmha, hrdaya nrsmha, Prahlada sees Krsna inside and outside. We must develop both internal and external. Of course, we realize that there is a temporary aspect to the external qualities.

The Ambassador of India develops his Embassy in Washington D. C. but knows it has certain non-India qualities. Maybe a war will start with USA and he will have to close it and jump, but he will grab some stuff, people to take with him to India, Goloka.


2) You said there are deviations in Iskcon. Can you kindly point the subtle deviations that you noticed, which are harmful for your disciples under Srila Prabhupada.


HpS - I heard from Srila Prabhupada's lips when he was in Berkeley, San Francisco, in 1975 in answer to a question by a reporter if there were problems in his temples, and Sri Prabhupada responded that this was the material world, there are problems everywhere.

We, you and me, and our readers, can see, from the Krsna book, even on TV, that even when KRSNA was present in VRNDAVANA there were demons coming whose roar was so terrifying that it cause the girls to have miscarriages!

Wow!

😨

What to speak of 2023 Iskcon Chowpartti with an actual devotee for Temple president!


We will start a series of Blog posts under Category B called "ISKCON WW-9 (Iskcon Warp World Nine)" for Tom Brown's ASA Encyclopedia if... if... if... you agree to collect them that include problems to correct in ISKCON with solutions.

O.K. Health Care Provider?



3) A point was made on being in touch the Paramaatma.

HpS - The answer is in the SB and related SP books, no?

One nice answer is: https://vedabase.io/en/library/bg/6/6/


How to do that. And when do we really know that now I am in touch with Paramaatma.

HpS/ASA - It can be confirmed by guru/SASTRA/sadhu.

Yet, Time is the external manifestation of the Paramatma, so a Goswami, Paramatma vadi, should have a good sense of timing.



Gopal Girivaradhari prabhu said that you will not be visiting India again in the near future. There is a lot of sadness . I wish I could have been a better strict disciple and you could physically see me following the rules. I will keep trying. I pray to Krsna that you come to Vrindavan/mayapur again during your manifest lila.


I will keep trying to be your disciple.


Rturaj Krsna Das

HpS - We have nice association here!

Krsna can arrange all kinds of nice physical meetings as He desires.

Waiting for your answers.

Time to go for a walk.

Dear Guru Maharaja,

Please accept my humble obeisances,

All glories to His Divine Grace!


Yes , we saw Abhimanyu Prabhu couple of times. He seems to be moving temple attendances according to interest. Not particularly attached to some temple.


He actually gave my husband a link of someone who can help me/us with long term Indonesia visa.


When my husband spoke to him he said he retired from teaching. His WhatsApp name stays as Abhimanyu das vanacari.

We don't have that in China.


Yesterday I watched your class on Gowardham Puja and Light of Bhagavata. I feel blissful having your association and my husband is very encouraging in that too.


I was planning long time ago for disciple course in China but it never happened.


They say they needed to wait for 100 members to start one. Half year past the number is not been reached.


My husband talked to Jai Nitai Prabhu from Iskcon Soho London and enrolled me there.


That was nice association. His certificate I will attached.


For recommendation letter since I haven't been in China, we asked our temple president where we spend the most of the time and work under his directions, Sudama Gopa Prabhu.


I am far from qualified, but I am willing to accept struggle to become qualified. With your blessings my chances are higher. If there is any particular service you want me to do, I would be glad to work on that.

Your inspired servant

Wang Pan


HpS - AgtSP. Paoho.

We just feel so, so, much affinity for classical China.

When we think of medieval Bengal, 1486+, and Lord Caitanya, we can feel similar perspective.

Must have been a Chinese/Mexican monk in our last life time.


Thank you for this news.


Political stability in the Age of Kali is like 80% perfect at best, no?

If you got 80% administrative perfection, don't try to improve it?

Yet, developing your friendships in Sankirtan is better than other ages.


Can you esteemed husband write to our humble Blog with suggestions of service that might think for you? He might have great perspective.


--

Following Jayananda Das, we need to see our infinite faults on one hand, but then we need to see our practical character (by Krsna's Divine Grace) on the other side.


If you have been chanting 16-nice rounds (is the weather 'nice') today, and following the 4-principles strictly (not pork or beer), and following regular temple morning program etc, for one year (and actually even after six months as we understand) with recommendation of Temple President you can be initiated, Baptized, Matriculated.

🎆

Thank you for the news!

Urgent! Kapi Dhvaja 1st August 2022

Hare Krishna, Dear Guru maharaja!

All glories to Srila Prabhupada and All glories to you.

Please accept our humble obeisances. (PAOHO)


As of every two weeks:

* Bulletin is now upload on Facebook (English & Spanish), it is also in Google Groups (English & Spanish) as listed at: http://www.jayarama.us/hello.htm


Hare Krishna. How are U???


HpS - ASA -- AgtSP. I am very well now that I can chat with you all!

Our voice, eyes, muscles, cerebrum, are all going, but we are learning very good techniques to get all the energy out of this body possible to serve Krsna to the end.

Basically we won't adopt any medical intervention more than Srila Prabhupada did in his own example.

You and your body and life are good example to us!



I am ok. This is my last week oh holidays.


I had meetings with the school owners. They asked me to be the academic coordinator for secondary level.

It means next year I will continue with only one of my groups, the old one (8th grade) be their tutor, and be in charged of all teachers in secondary level.


HpS - Is it an open ended service or fixed for a certain time, and then everyone stops and looks at the situation?


Next week I will have my appointment in the Hospital. Let see what they say now. The good thing about all this situation is that I am taking fewer pills. I don't feel anything weird. None of the symptoms indicating transplant failure. But only Krsna knows what is best for me.


HpS - Maybe you were Abhimanyu in your last life. On loan to Krsna for 16-years then went back to his, Poppa!? 😅


We thanks a lot all you support and patience. Your words give me a lot of strength and faith to face any situation.


HpS - 😢 AgtSP who has given/gives his life for us.

In this Kapi Dhvaja we tried to organize all the work. Was great help for us.

You are Waldorf not Montessori, no?

All glories to Hunumatpresaka swami i responded to this to Nitisara Das and noticed on your schedule that you'll be in Houston and in India which I'd love to be of some service.

Still engaged in my services at New Govadana, happily regulated and am so fortunate to have such great service and live the ideal life.

Ever indebted to you for a freedom that I never thought was possible

Your servant mani Bandhani Das 


HpS - AgtSP! Yes, and it is going to get better and better, we will get more and more opportunities to serve Radha and Krsna.
