Letters to the editor

Hare Krisna!!     Beloved and esteemed Gurudev,

Please accept my humble obeisances,

All glories to Srila Prabhupada,

Having met you and being able to associate with you make my life worthy. Your example, your qualities, are a huge shelter where many many many fallen souls like me can be safe. Your intelligence is so pure. You always push us beyond the limits. We only have to follow your example. So clear.

HpS - Srila Prabhupada made his generals out of mud. With us Monkeys worse than mud he has a harder time.

Here we are back in our ksetra, mar del plata city. Fighting with 16R/4P. LOVE WITHOUT LOVE, SADHANA VAIDHI BHAKTI. Hope one day we develop any taste for the holy name.

I made a vrata for kartik to chant 20 rounds but i couldnt accomplish it, so again I,m in debt, of course this brings me the realization that we will always be in debt with Guru and Krisna.

HpS - How big your debt? We got so many rounds behind from our 25/day because of that Conference in India some time ago. Still was doing 16/day but not 25. Now we have caught up to 92. We will follow your example and catch up.  Main thing is getting up early and then chant, read, write . . . Is nice. Peace comes and nice plans for service.

The visit to Peru was super, met with so many nice devotees, shared very nice moments with mother CMDD and of course Sri Sri Radha Madhan Bihari.

We met with mother and sister of CMDD, Ullyses who was always eager to knock me down, and felt very good, such nice people.

We have been in Patrak's prabhu Birthday and visited Ayurvedic doctor Rupanuga das. Then we were talking with LAD about expanding Nimsar to Argentina, and different devotees at Wilson Mandir.

We have improved a lot our deity worship thanks to the advices of mother CMDD.

OUR fixed services are Bhakti vriksa program on mondays, BG class for B vriksa students on wednesdays, Bhakti Sastri, now ISO, Memeber of the local comitee AND recently i'm in charge of the local BBT. I always attend our sunday feast at El Loft. Sadhu sanga ki jay!!

Two months ago i moved SAMA our health center, we are motivated with this new space.

My relationship with my kids is very good, they live with me three days a week, and also i have very polite relation with their mother, peace.

My biggest challenge is my work as a doctor. Balance it with devotional service. I often feel is too much, so many people demanding from me, and most of my patients are women which have a negative effect for my spiritual practice. It drags a lot of energy from me and then i can not have a good sadhana. Often i feel like Arjuna wanting to go to the forest to meditate. But i know i can not escape from my nature.

It is frustrating not to have the spiritual practice i would like to have.

I pray, i struggle to have a fixed sadhana like yours gurudev cause i'm sure that is the solution to every affliction.

I know it is a fact but i have so much material desires that my passionate mind is always pushing me away from that goal. 

I have already bought my tiket to chile, arrive friday january 30th in the morning and leave monday february 2nd in the afternoon.

HpS - Talk with other devotees, take advantage of people like CMDD and figure out how to do your medical service. Maybe less patients. Train others. You have a unique challenge.

What was the result of your meeting with Rupanuga?

When do you get your rounds done each day?????

 DEAR Guru Maharaja, pamho AGTSP.

Now I am going to do the marathon of December in mexico df AND U?

HpS - ASA - We are Preparing for the Marathon trip to South America!

many pastimes have happened in sankirtana.

Yesterday for example we go out with the group of devout young persons of the temple to sankirtan we were 35 in total and 28 in the street distributing books. I us seize the police and they took us to a jail for distributing books in public route, he was not dealing since this could happen since they did not warn us, they took to us at once the patrol and enclosed us to my and to other two devout ones that till now begin to do sankirtana. Desues of 4 hours we speak with the judge and and I please very much Krsna's conscience, finally he asked us to speak with the manager of the delegation to be able to have programs of sermon in the jail.

This way that all that had been Gopal's arrangement again!! <img alt="laugh" height="23" src="http://hps-d6.monkeywarrior.com/sites/all/libraries/ckeditor/plugins/smiley/images/teeth_smile.png" title="laugh" width="23" />

Now I am living in the temple of DF already not in cueramaro, and my direct authorities are P Vanamali and P. Aravinda, is pretty to experience something of kindness, already do pays and languages of  Sr. Jagannatha!!

HpS - Jaya Radha Madan-bihari!  Aravinda Ji will go to the Education Symposium in Chile end of January.

Gurudeva thank you very much for giving me so much nectar in the services, for his mercy am I proving the varied flavors of the service devocional, As I owe???? do not know, but that misses me !! miss u so much Gurudeva.

Thank you for the fotos! !     !

   Hare Krishna Guru Maharaja, por favor acepte mis más humildes reverencias, soy Dhanistha devi dasi de Santiago de Chile. Quería contarle que mi hijo ya nació, tratando de cantar las rondas con contador. Pensando mucho en Krishna, espero retomar pronto mi sadhana. Exarañando la asociacion de devotos y fiesta de Srila Prabhupada en el Templo. Junto a mi esposo Hari Murari queremos hacer pronto ceremonia de Nama Karana para nuestro hijo. Por favor deme Sus bendiciones para hacer un buen servicio en esta nueva etapa y poder mantenerme en Conciencia de Krishna.

   Su sirvienta,

   Dhanistha devi dasi.

HpS - ASA --- Jaya! No es persona normal. Krsna no envia bebe normal a devotos!!  Guardar muy bien como puede desarrollar bien y hacer GRAN serivcio a Krsna y la humanidad. Los Bebes duermen mucho, no? Entonces es tiempo para su Japa. Si no puede cantar podar, hacer una cuenta de su falta para recuperar. Su Japa es su leche para su Bebe.

Reverencias al H. M. Das y todos. Nos vemos en unos semanas. No fotos?

Hare krsna Dear Gurudeva!

Please accept my obeisances

Thanks for your reply, as your request, I will write again the question in Spanish and English.

Srila Rupa Goswami describe otras caracteristicas del servicio devocional, con pruebas tomadas de diferentes escrituras. El dice que hay 6 caracteristicas del servicio devocional puro que son los siguientes:

1. El servicio devocional puro produce inmediatamente el alivio de toda clase de aflicciones materiales.

2.El servicio devocional puro  es el comienzo de todo lo auspicioso.

3.El servicio devocional puro lo pone a uno automaticamente en un estado de placer  trascendental.

4. El servicio devocional puro rara vez se logra.

5. Aquellos que  practican en servicio devocional puro, desprecian incluso el concepto de liberacion.

6. El servicio devocional puro es el unico medio con el que se puede atraer a Krsna.

Preguntas

Entonces, si rara vez se logra el servicio devocional puro, ¿como se atrae a Krsna, si es el unico medio por el cual se puede atraer?

HpS - Gracias. Ahora es un poco más claro. Estos son los seis síntomas de servicio devocional que se desarrollan a medida que avanzamos. En Sadhana bhakti los dos primeros desarrollan. En Bhava Bhakti los dos siguientes y en prema los dos últimos.
El orden es un poco diferente en el NOD del BRS, pero aquí "rara vez" medios logra "difícil" achieve.For los devotos, no es difícil, pero requiere trabajo y amor. Atraer a Krishna significa atraer Krishna personalmente, no sólo el Señor Narayana de Vaikuntha. Es por eso que nos acercamos a Krishna a través de Su misericordia, Radha y Balarama. Desde el principio hemos atraer la atención de Krishna a través de ellos, pero para llegar a su asociación en el Rasa-lila, por ejemplo, debemos tener Prema.

O.K? Puede obtener mas informacion de un devoto, profesor de BhSastri!

¿Como puedo entender la relacion de estas dos caracteristicas (4 y 6), en esta vida material? ¿O es algo totalmente trascendental?

HpS - Respueta arriba, no?

Mas???!!!  Buena pregunta. Raro lograr para los Karmis u Jnanis pero para los Bhaktas quien siguien abajo Guru, Balarama, es natural. Realmente podemos adelantar pronto. Y mas y mas vamos a atraer a Krsna. En la comenza el bebe es atractiva al Padre por que la Madre limpia, no? Despues cuando es mas madura es atractivo por su mismo.

Your eternal servant

<big>All glories to Srila Prabhupada and YOU</big>

<big>Please accept my humble obeisances</big>

<big>First of all i want to apologize... It's been a year since the last time i wrote... All this time it's been a mess. </big>

<big>My sadhana was very very unstable. Sometimes i could get up early and get my rounds done but other days i hardly finished them at night. By the mercy of the Lord i could at least worship my deities everyday, even though i know its not proper to do it without chanting all my rounds. Now everyday is a challenge, i am getting up at 5am to chant my rounds, can't concentrate very well cause my mind is always thinking what i am going to do next but i believe someday i will chant good rounds. We want to be more fixed in rounds to back to service at temple.</big>

<big>Work is OK. My boss is a nice person. Studies at the university are OK, i learn a lot and i am always eager to learn more. Love education.  I plan to take some other courses ISKCON is offering. Took some service for the congress in Chile with jagad guru and others</big>.   NIMSAR is rising from the ashes; many proyects, more work in team, comunication and training.  

<big>Family is OK too. They send you obeisances.  HEALTH, well, I only can say Krsna controls eveything even though I don't understand nor like. but I have faith in HIM so ALL IS WELL!!!<img alt="yes" height="23" src="http://hps.monkeywarrior.com/sites/all/libraries/ckeditor/plugins/smiley/images/thumbs_up.png" title="yes" width="23" /><img alt="yes" height="23" src="http://hps.monkeywarrior.com/sites/all/libraries/ckeditor/plugins/smiley/images/thumbs_up.png" title="yes" width="23" /><img alt="yes" height="23" src="http://hps.monkeywarrior.com/sites/all/libraries/ckeditor/plugins/smiley/images/thumbs_up.png" title="yes" width="23" /></big>

<big>Only 5 weeks and 4 days to finally see you, i hope i can talk to you and if u want it would be great to have you in my humble house for lunch or beakfast some day. </big>

<big>Again I am so sorry. i really feel so embarrased. I want you to be proud of me. I want to be your disciple and follow all your instructions. </big>
