Bhaktin Belen S. from Buenos Aires, Argentina

Hare Krsna, Dear Guru Maharaja

All glories to Sri Sri Gaura Nitai!
All glories to Srila Prabhupada!
All glories to HH Hanumatpresaka Swami!

Please accept my humble obeisances.

I deeply thank your classes since they have answered many of my self-doubt and allowed me to meet a great soul like you. But I am very indebted to you and now you are gone...
Yesterday, when I woke up, I felt a void and a great sadness because something had gone and I perceived. I thought that the temple
would not be the same because your absence. Anyway, I decided to go because Gaura Nitai. But this inner feeling had not gone an it made me think about that in the absence of somebody too significant, oneself realize many thing. And it was a little moment which I really felt that you should be my diksha guru. I`ll go to Santiago de Chile next monday. I would have loved to go now but I could not change the tickets and I'm regretting so much... :(
I was eager to talk to you but I find it hard because I'm so conditioned that it is very easy to block me under certain circumstances and even more publicly, because my mind is too restless and loves to disturb and let me anxious all the time.

In fact, chanting rounds costs me a lot of. I chant 16 ronds but in the second, my mind went around the world 3 times. But I know I have to force myself to calm it down and try to control it. And I take him to one of the questions I was left pending: How much can affect the development of my spiritual life not being able to sing rounds during the morning or attend mangala aratik because I work at that time? there is instructions in which you do a lot of emphasis: get up early, singing rounds and attend Mangala Aratik,
you have crossed in my road. Forgive this fall and completely conditioned soul by not being able to serve you in the best way.

Thank you for your amazing association. Sorry for my bad english

With a lot of affection,
Your attempt servant, Belén.

Radha Krsna Ki Jay, Goura Bhakta Ki Jay

Please accept my humble obeisanses to Sri Guruji's padmacharan that in Gita-13.25 " The Sankhya philosophers analyze this material world into twenty-four elements, and they place the individual soul as the twenty-fifth. When they are able to understand the nature of the individual soul to be transcendental to the material elements, they are able to understand also that above the individual soul there is the Supreme Personality of Godhead. He is the twenty-sixth elements". What are the twenty-four elements and how individual soul treated as the twenty-fifth elements?

    HpS - AGTSP paoho. They are the elements mentioned before: Senses, sense objects, mind... Then when we see a living being we think that there is another element besides these, the Atma. He makes the first 24-alive. The modern scientists often say that there is no Atma, only material elements.

Again how Supreme Personality of Godhead becomes twenty-sixth elements? 

HpS - He already is. It is like child sitting on lap of father pretending to drive car. Child makes some indications, "Go left, go right", but always father is there. Just for some time he is not recognized.

And at the end of this para  Some people who try to find out Supersoul by meditation, by cultivation of knowledge and by childish activities what is the interpretation of childish activities means.

HpS - Marijuana for example.
 

And Please explain the Supersoul and the individual soul are situated in the body?

HpS We are with Krsna in Goloka but we are both looking at our reflections in a pot of water, the material nature, so both the reflection of us and Krsna, Supersoul, are there if we look for it.

All Glories to Shri Guruji and Gourangaji

Radha Krsna Ki Jay and Gourabhakta Vrnda Ki Jai

I am submitting my humble obeisanses to Sri Guruji’s Padmacharan the information of our Radha Govinda Mandir, Thoubal that some bhaktas are performing daily mangala aarati at 4.30 a.m. Some members were left for Tritha-Jatra, in two groups. The army base of Thoubal is expected not to shift within 2/3 years.

          As a routine I am reading Gita, Bhagavatam second canto, Chaitanya Charitamrita first canto other books such as Nectar of Instruction, Nectar of Devotion, for reference when needed.

          The main questions Guruji asked are related to Canto no. ten of Srimad Bhagavatam. Actually I want to read this chapter after completion of canto no. nine. In my knowledge, the eight principle queens of Lord Krsna are as under : 1) Rukamini 2) Jambavati 3) Satyabhama 4) Kalindi 5) Mitravinda 6) Nagnajiti 7) Bhadra and 8) Laksmana. Interestingly all the queens have different stories of their marriage but I don’t have detailed ideas.

HpS - Yes, 10th Canto after first nine, but maybe from previous life we have already gone through the first 9. Actually, CC after SB! But Prabhupada gave us the book KRSNA so that even a new devotee can relish the pastimes and power of the 10th Canto. Thank you for list of the queens.

          The Aadi Lila of Chaitanya Charitamrita is a very tough portion. Though, Krsna is the origin all in all, I have so much confusion of using different names like Nityananda (Sesa : Ananta) – Karanadaksayi Bisnu, Garbhadaksayi Bisnu, Kshirodaksayi Bisnu sometimes Hari, Narayana, Govinda, Madhusudan, Bhagavan etc. in the same place. All the spiritual names mentioned above have different places and different stories but at the same time and place why use different names instead using related names of the event. Guruji please clarify my darkness.

It is like in the government, no? His wife at home says, "Honey", in front of the children she says "Daddy", in public they say, "Mr. President". So Nityananda, Lord, when he expands or takes different functions He is known by different names, Karana Visnu, Garbho visnu, in terms of his costume and work.

Then there are Secretarys for the governement and others.

So maybe it is a little bit complicated at first but it will be repeated again and again as you read. The first Canto of CC is very logical like this, go ahead, don't worry if you don't understand everything, next time when you are 65 years old, it will be more clear, and after this the Chapters have more pastimes for instruction.

We five members are planning to come to Mayapur for Guruji’s darshan and sparsha (tough) Guruji’s-Padamacharan on the 15th Feb. 2014 and will stay 3 / 4  days. But no room reserved even now. Guruji, which date will be convenient for meeting us? Guruji please let us know before booking air tickets (to and fro).

I will be ready to leave Kolkatta on the 15th also. We could go together, no? It seems we have meetings in the morning every day, but we can go to Mangala arati, chant Japa, chat, have classes, and meet in the afternoons and evenings! We can make a movie!

We are so unfortunate that we could not see Guruji whenever we need and could not serve satisfactorily. On the other we are so poor in knowledge and money that we have no capacity to satisfy Guruji. We are praying Guruji daily in the simplest form whether it may be right or wrong. Excuse us from the mistakes we have committed. We are eagerly waiting Guruji’s  ashirbad all the time.

We are also poor and stupid that we cannot visit Manipur more often. But you have association of Hari Das Das and others!

Yours fallen servant
