Hare Krsna Querido Y Recordado GURUDEVA

Porfavor Acepte mis Humildes Reverencias

Todas las glorias a Srla Prabhupada

Espero q esta carta lo encuentre en buen estado de salud.

HpS - O.K. pero tenemos 66-anos en esta cuerpo y los ojos, por ejemplo, no pueden funcionar tan fuerte para interenet como antes.

Gurudeva gracias a su miscericordia y a las bendiciones de nuestras autoridades directas P Aravinda, Guruprasad Swami y Bhakti Busana Swami, los libros pudieron ser traidos de venezuela a Colombia, pues por la dificil situacion de Venezuela amenazaban con quemar los libros, pero gracias a Goura y  a Nitay todas las 51 cajas de libros ya estan a salvo y estan siendo distribuidas en una marato que estamos llevando acabo aqui en colombia. Hay dos grupos de sankirtan de devotos y devotas nosotros estamos en la zona norte de colombia y las devotas en la zona sur, parece que los libros tenian mucho desceo de ser distribuidos porque pudimos cubrir la cuota de toda la semana que perdimos intentando recuperarlos en tan solo 3 dias, Krsna es muy miscericordioso.

                  HpS - ASA - Senor Caitanya es TAN BONDADOSO....

Gurudeva me he enterado que estara en Mexico DF en  GOURA PURNIMA :(  me alegra mucho por los devotos del df, pero esos dias nosotros estaremos a mitad de la maraton aqui en colombia, y desafortunadamente no podre estar en su visita, sin emvargo mi corazon esta a sus pies intentando seguir su intruccion y la de Srla Prabhupada, seguimos  en la calle distribuyendo esta filosofia trascendental, aumentando la cantidad de rondas diaras a 20 min, 4 principios, mangala y gurupuja Diario.

                    HpS - Super Hombre!

Querido Gurumaharaja, porfavor expliqueme como puedo avanzar en mi servicio devocional a la suprema personalidad de Dios, pues aun no he podido controlar los seis impuldos, y me cuesta mucho trabajo tener intercambios amorosos con los devotos, soy como una oveja en la calle pero un leon con los devotos, las austeridades del habla siguen siendo mi gran debilidad y no siento apego aun por cantar el santo nombre de manera entusiasta, debo seguir cortando las malas hiervas de mi corazon.

gracias por su miscericorda para conmigo Gurudeva, cada vez que medito en Ud la alegria viene a mi servicio devocional y la calle se vuelve como un templo.

Su Sirviente

                        HpS - Pues Vd. conocen MUY BIEN todo las requisitos por que esta citando las faltas de una manera muy experto. Un tonto no conocen cuales son los faltas. Esta indica bastante advanza. Pienso es claro Vd. estuva un monje, devoto, en su vida anterior.

Pienso tiene que adelantar en la linea que sigue, eso es el mejor, afilando, no cambiando.
Voy a quedar en Sankirtan viajero para mas tiempo?
Voy a seguir Kardama Muni y ser casado con "Devahuti" y tener Senor Kapila para Hijo? O va a seguir sendero de Narada Muni? Indicacion?

All glory to Srila Prabhupada

Please accept my humbles obeisances

Dear Guru Deva

your crew member Aniruddha Krishna Das

            HpS - Very nice. AGTSP. The external Sadhana seems O.K. Now the question is how you are advancing internally. Do you know this gradation "adau sraddha, sadhu sanga..."? What level are you on? It is in Text Seven purport of NOI

Gauranga! Hanumat Presak Swami.

       HpS - Super... You are always challenge to us to do Sankirtan. You both have so much courage! Visit to Houston is on the CALENDAR! 12th - 19th!

Gaura purnima we go to Mexico just for the day, 16th morning to 17th afternoon.

hare krisna beloved gurudeva,

Please accept my humble obeisances,

All glories to srila prabhupada,

here we are in mar del plata, living in the association of devotees struggling to take shelter in the internal potency of the lord. harinama.

gurudeva you are the greatest benediction in my life,

      HpS - ASA - AGTSP we are making a very small effort. Some sincerity. The benediction comes because Krsna is using us!

...a living proof of sastra, a secure shelter for fallen souls. You possess the qualities of an exalted vaisnava and your example is a huuuge source of inspiration for myself and im sure so many many other devotees.

. . . after initiation sadhana fell apart, a waterfall of material desires drawned my regulation, had to finish rounds the next day. but

16 rounds ok 4 principles ok. preaching fine and growing, real life.

. . . arrows of lusty desires struck me very often. longing of family life. we seek intelligence in the mahamantra. No plans but chant and survive.

i feel tremendous gratitude of being aware of my possition, my weakness, makes me staying alert.

We are so fortunate, here at sama our health center we receive the visit of senior devotees very often, two weeks ago SS bhakti sundar maharaj was here for a week. we felt like narada muni serving the sadhus as the son of a sudrani.

i stopped  worshipping the little gaura nitai deities and im helping in adorarion of the big one. im focusing in japa.

Since a week ago we restablished our sadhana and we are having morning program finishing rounds before starting to work. i realized everything expands from there. aiming mode of goodness for further advance.

Gurudeva your mercy is unlimited,

seeking your lotus feet,

Nikunja Bihari das.

            HpS - Jaya! AGTSP! I think we could say the exact same thing as you. We follow 16/4 and more but also things like this trip to India, etc. They confuse us. We read in Hari nama Cintamani that if a devotee is dexterous in Sadhana he can wake up his natural love for Krsna and take up his service in Vaikuntha again very quickly, even a few days, but if he does not do it so expertly it can take several life times.

Maybe you and I are products of this several life time path.

We have to get good at Sadhana in a very simple practical way, use lots of mechanical though transcendental tricks eg. stop and chant one-round each hour.

So, news from Mar de Plata.

We HOPE news from education soon.

We write a DTC in a few moments with you all in mind. Thank you. Respects to all.

Querido Gurudeva:
Por favor, acepte mis humildes reverencias.

Todas las glorias a Srila Prabhupada.

Espero se encuentre bien cuando reciba este mensaje.

Le escribo esta carta para pedirle su ayuda y consejo. Después de las cosas tan desagradables que han sucedido y siguen sucediendo en el Templo de Madrid me surgen muchas dudas. Estoy un poco confundida después de sentir que todo este cambio ha sido forzado sin seguir los principios básicos de las relaciones entre vaisnavas con engaños, traiciones, ocultismo, etc. 
Algunos devotos han elaborado un plan master sectario evitando informar al consejo rector (al que incluso uno de ellos pertenecía) e ignorando también a otros miembros activos de la congregación que no pensamos como ellos para conseguir algo (el control del Templo) que podrían haber conseguido simplemente presentándolo bien y honestamente al consejo rector.
Con todo esto me surgen unas dudas acerca de cómo actuar a partir de ahora. ¿Debo olvidarlo todo de forma artificial y actuar como si no hubiera pasado nada o debo explicarles, con educación, lo que pienso y siento? ¿Qué es lo correcto? ¿Qué es lo que complace a Krsna?¿Cómo puedo continuar mi relación con ellos sin fracturas?  

Sé que, por mi inmadurez y mi gran ego falso, me he identificado con el Templo y sus devotos y todo esto me ha resultado y me sigue resultando muy desagradable. Por ello, le pido con humildad su misericordia y que me resuelva las dudas y me dé consejos para superar esta "prueba" y seguir avanzando bajo su guía.
Su aspirante a humilde sirvienta,
Purnamasi devi dasi

               HpS - ASA - AGTSP.   paoho. When Krsna was personally present in Vrndavan demons came and caused so much disturbance that the girls had miscarriages.

Madrid temple is not Vrndavan.

Krsna is not personally present.

Things aren't so bad that we hear of miscarriages.

So, we expect there to be problems. This is the material world. If we stay in proper consciousness we can see Krsna is adjusting everything for His purpose. He let Draupadi be attacked.

First thing is to adjust your participation in the situation before trying to understand anyone else. Then try to understand devotees from NOI 5. On that basis, with a few clear relations you can be involved in Plans, admnistration, work in the Temple.

Don't give up on Srila Prabhupada or his Temple but understand how to relate to it properly.

We hear from Yadu Swami and some others, and the mess in Madrid is not much worse or better than so many places in the world, ISKCON. Karmis are nice, sometimes because they get what they want. Other times they are terrible.

Canto Seven describes fights between cousins who will become King of heaven etc.

hare Krsna Querido Gurudeva

Porfavor Acepte mis Humiledes Reverencias
