Amado Guru Maharaja please acepte mis humildes reverencias a sus pies de loto [loco], todas las glorias a srila prabhupada, todas las glorias a sri sri Radha MADHANA vIHARI!!

Espero haya pasado hermosas fiestas trascendentales de sri balarama y sri krsna janmastami!! aqui le envio los comentarios.

HpS - ASA - Jaya Prabhupada, Jaya Prabhupada, Jaya Prabhupada, Jaya Prabhupada!  Pasando Balarama Purnima en Boise. Era muy bien! Orando para poder ser buen devotos!!!

Espersando lo encuentro bien  yt feliz; 

Tratando de complacerlo:, su discipula:  japa prati jalpa Radha dd.

SB 3.21.7 — Durante ese período de penitencia, adorando por medio de servicio devocional en trance a la Personalidad de Dios, que otorga rápidamente toda bendición a aquellos que recurren a Él en busca de protección, el sabio Kardama logró Su favor.

Comentarios: 

Kardama Muni adoro a Sri Krsna por medio de la meditación, que en esa Era, Satya Yuga, era el proceso recomendado para alcanzar el amor puro, el servicio devocional amoroso a Sri Krsna. Srila Prabhupada explica que en esta Era, Kali Yuga, no podemos siquiera sentarnos a meditar por una hora sin que la mente se distraiga. Es por eso que el canto del santo nombre del Señor es el método en esta Era. Se dice en el verso que El señor nos otorgara toda bendición a  aquellos que recurrimos a El en busca de protección. Como Krsna mismo dice en el Bhagavad Gita 18.66 “Abandona toda clase de religión y sencillamente, entrégate a Mí. Yo te libraré de toda reacción pecaminosa. No temas”. Aquí vemos que  nuestro Señor Krsna nos promete que El nos protegerá de todas las reacciones pecaminosas, sencillamente tenemos que entregarnos a El, dejando que El guíe nuestras vidas, convirtiéndolo en el conductor de nuestra vida. Como decía el señor Jesucristo  “que se haga Tu voluntad y no la mía.”

Maharajá Bhakti Thirta [Tirtha] Swami decía también una frase muy linda: Mi querido Señor todo lo que me acerque a tu servicio amoroso deja que se manifieste y venga a nosotros y todo lo que me aleje de tu servicio, permite que sea quitado. En una clase nuestro querido Guru Maharaja explica: nosotros podemos hacer planes para servir a Krsna, pero el mejor plan es cantar Hare Krsna; Pero debido a que aun no estamos en ese nivel, podemos planear servirlo con la ocupación  que tenemos de acuerdo con nuestra condición psico- fisica y si realmente queremos complacer al Señor, El nos va ir mostrando el plan que tiene con nosotros”. 
Aquí se confirma que el sabio Kardama Muni logro el favor de Govinda.


SB 3.21.8 — Entonces, en Satya-yuga, la Suprema Personalidad de Dios de ojos de loto, complacido, Se manifestó ante Kardama Muni y le reveló Su forma trascendental, que sólo por medio de los Vedas se puede entender.

Comentarios: 

La suprema Personalidad de Dios Sri Krsna, aquel que posee ojos como pétalos de una flor de loto, se complace mucho cuando un alma rendida como Sri Kardama se entrega completamente a El. En realidad como explica Srila Prabhupada, el señor Krsna esta mas ansioso de llevarnos con El que lo que estamos nosotros mismos. Y de una u otra manera, nos muestra Su misericordia de acuerdo con el esfuerzo y avance que tenga el devoto. Así que, mostrando Su misericordia con su devoto, el sabio Kardama Muni, se Le presento en su forma trascendental. Se explica en el Néctar de la Devoción, Pág. 45: “De las muchas clases de devotos de la suprema personalidad de Dios, el que se siente atraído a la forma original del señor, la de Krsna en Vrndavana, se considera que es el principal, o el devoto de primera clase. Un devoto de esa categoría nunca se siente atraído a las opulencias de Vaikuntha, y ni siquiera a las de Dwaraka, la ciudad real en donde gobernó Krsna. La conclusión de Sri Rupa Gosvami es que los devotos que se sienten atraídos  a los pasatiempos del señor Krsna en Gokula o Vrndavana son los devotos mas elevados de todos”. Es muy afortunado aquel que esta apegado a la forma de dos manos de Sri Krsna, esta forma es muy difícil de entender para los filósofos mayavadis o especuladores. Las escrituras vèdicas que son como nuestra madre nos dan el conocimiento para entender los tres aspectos de la verdad absoluta. Brahman, Paramatma y Bhagavan. 

Brahman.- son como los rayos de sol que emanan del Sol. Es decir en la naturaleza material podemos ver un breve destello del mundo espiritual como las flores cuando brotan, el mar, la naturaleza. Toda la naturaleza en conjunto es parte del gran cuerpo trascendental del Señor.

Paramatma.- es el aspecto localizado del Señor Krsna que esta situado en el corazón de toda las entidades vivientes. Esta es la forma en la que meditan los Yoguis. Podemos escucharla cuando sentimos una “corazonada” para realizar o dejar alguna actividad. Nos esta guiando siempre y al purificarnos  podemos escucharla y no confundirla con nuestra mente cuando emite sus deseos.

Bhagavan.- Es el aspecto Personal de Sri Krsna. Esta forma es maravillosa y es la forma original que se manifiesta eternamente en el mundo espiritual: Goloka Vrndavana, es la forma con la que apareció en Gokula, Vraja; para realizar sus pasatiempos trascendentales y llenar de placer a sus devotos.


SB 3.21.9 — Kardama Muni vio a la Suprema Personalidad de Dios, que está libre de contaminación material, en Su forma eterna, refulgente como el Sol. Llevaba un collar de lotos blancos y de nenúfares. El Señor iba vestido de inmaculadas sedas amarillas, y las oscuras ondas de Su sedoso cabello embellecían Su rostro de loto.


Comentarios: 

A la suprema personalidad de Dios no la tocan las modalidades materiales (bondad, pasión e ignorancia). Los devotos puros como Srila Prabhupada tampoco son tocados por la energía marginal de Sri Krsna. Si los devotos seguimos las instrucciones de los devotos puros y obtenemos Su misericordia, podemos llegar a alcanzar el nivel de devoción pura y podemos vivir en este mundo sin ser contaminados por el, sino al contrario, podemos ayudar a otras almas a que también logren el objetivo de la vida humana.

HPS - Jaya! Super. Meditacion por medio de Hare Krsna Mantra!!!!  Cada vez cantamos estamos mas atraido cantar mas!!!

PAMHO..SANKIRTAN IN BRAZIL

10 years, 9 months ago by Panca tattva das in Personal Sadhana Reports

PAMHO, AGTSP

HARE KRISHNA GURUDEV,

I HOPE YOU ARE IN GOOD HEALTH CONDITIONS. IT HAS BEEN A LONG TIME SINCE THE LAST LETTER,

    HpS - ASA - AGTSP!!!!! Paoho..... and we are a little slow in responding. We are finally catching up on our letters after our 14 cities in five weeks, USA tour!

. . .  AFTER TWO HARD MONTHS OF SANKIRTANA IN BS AS, VERY GOOD ASOCIATION WITH DEVOTIES, BALARAM PURNIMA, JANMASTAMI AND PRABHUPADS VYASA PUYA AT BS AS TEMPLE...HERE WE ARE IN BRAZIL TRAVELING THRU SMALL CITIES DISTRIBUING PDS BOOKS.NECTAR!!!!!

LAST WEEK I HAD THE MERCIFUL ASOCIATION OF H.G DANWANTARI SWAMI MAHARAJA, IT WAS VERY INSPIRING..WE HAD A VERY NICE CONVERSATION ABOUT  FINDING OUR POSITION IN THIS HUGE SERVICE OF PLEACING SP, THE SAME CONVERSATION I HAD WITH H.G GUNAGRAHI MAHARAJA...

BECAUSE  I WAS FEELING A BIT TIRED OF BEEN IN MAR DEL PLATA, I DONT HAVE NOTHING AGAINST THE MDP PROJECT BUT I WAS NEEDING A BIT MORE OF SADHANA AND FIRE OF PREACHING. SO I TALK WITH GUNAGRAHI MAHARAJA TO HELP ME  TO DEVELOP THE PROYECT OF TRAVELING SANKIRTANA PREACHING BRAMACARIS IN ARGENTINA AND IT WAS VERY POSITIVE... BUT AT THE SAME TIME I WOULD LIKE TO KEEP ON HELPING IN ONE WAY MDP PROYECT...

SO HERE WE ARE IN POLITICS, I DONT UNDERSTAND POLITICS OR THERE IS SOMETHING IN MY FALCE EGO THAT DOESNT ACCEPT IT.

SO WHEN IM RETURNING TO ARGENTINA FOR RATHA YATRA IN NOVEMBER IM HAVING A TALK WITH MAHAJAN PRABHU...TO GET CLEAR ABOUT THE AUTORITY I NEED TO FOLOW...

I HAVE ONE QUESTION???  FOR A BRAHMACARY, WHEN THE PROJECT OF OUR AUTHORITY OR YATRA FINISH AND WHEN OUR OWN PROJECT STARTS?

HpS - AGTSP. Paoho. We have Prabhupada, ISKCON diksa guru, siksa gurus as advanced devotees, Sannyasis - and then we have formal ISKCON GBC, Temple President, Project Leader et al. So we should always have a conneccion with the GBC. As a B'cari you should have nice connection with a Sannyasis as well as your Temple President. Job of President is to see that everyone is engaged according to his nature and at the same time get the goals of the project accomplished under GBC authority. Basically chant Hare Krsna in mood of Trnad Api Sunicena and you will have enough intelligence to adjust things. 

OK!! RIGHT NOW WE ARE IN NOVA GOKULA HAVING ONE DAY REST OF SANKIRTAN WITH BCRIS AND PRABHU BALADEVA OF MENDOZA YATRA, READING SB 4,7 , CHANTING OUR ROUNDS AND HAVING TEMPLE PROGRAMS...

WE ARE TRAVELING WITH GOURA NITAY DEITIES AND GIRIDHARI..SLEEPING IN THE VAN CHANTING JAPA HAVING CONDENSED PROGRAMS SOME READING AND A LOT OF BOOK DISTRIBUTION..

MAY BY WHE PURCHASE THE  TICKET FOR GOURA POURNIMA IN INDIA 2015, HERE IS MUCH MORE CHEAPER THAT IN ARG...ITS MORE O LESS 1000 DOLARS...

IM LOOKING FORWARD TO MEET YOU IN BS AS, CORDOBA AND CHILE  NEXT YEAR..

PLEACE GORUDEV GIVE ME YOUR BLESSINGS SO I CAN CLEAR MY MIND, AND SERVE YOU WITH MY HART..

OUR HEART ITS SO HARD,DURTY AND IT IS SO DIFICULT TO SPRESS OUR LOVE AND GRATITUDE TO THE OTHER SOULS AND KRISHNA...

SORRY I RIGHT IN ENGLISH COMO UN BURRO.....

THANKS, YOUR WELLWISHER AND SERVANT   PANCA TATTVA DAS

HpS - AGTSP. So, think you want to start planning for Sannyasa?

Thank you very much Maharaj!!!. It might sound crazy but sometimes I feel as if Krsna is trying to say something to me!!  reading, re-reading, studying .. </small>
<small>My intelligence is very limited and I have a doubt about the TPP, since I've been reading and completing the activities suggested in the document that i can download from “files” in Jayarama, but I would like to ask you about a manuscript ?? How can I access the tpp composition book ?? For me and Antonia have been very helpful for our study programs.</small>
 
<small>Thank you very much for your valuable time in helping us!!!, </small>

Bhakta Marcos from Santander

10 years, 9 months ago by marcos in Personal Sadhana Reports

Hare krisna Maharaja!!
Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada.

 

How are you? I hope that you are fine! 

HpS - ASA - AGTSP! We are dying well!
 

Now im in Santander i will stay here some days more, i will return to Madrid the last days of this month!! All here is OK i cook all the days to my family and they love prasadam, all the days i cook different types of foods and they  like a lot to discover new "spiritual" flavours!!! 
I dont wake up early... (i hope to change this inmideatly), i usually wake up at 7:00 A.M or 8:00 A.M and i start to chant my rounds after the breakfast, the japa is good!! I love to chant near the sea. This days are like my holidays and i use my time to study bhakti sastri, harmonium, read (Now im reading the light of the Bhagavata, is the first time that i read it and i think that it will be one of my favourites books, wonderfull and very beautifull book!),

ASA - If you go to the Archives in the ASA web-site you will find andd index, power-point shows about LOB there!

. . .go to the mountain, meet with family and friends.

Some weeks before to arrived to Santander i went to Canary Islands to celebrate the Ratha Yatra!! Was an amazing experience, the devotees of the islands are awesome! The festival was great and a lot of people come to see the deitys!!! Incredible!!!
I met Bhakti Marga Swami "The walking monk" He is awesome, I admire his motivation to work for Krishna, he is always happy and with many desires to preach about Krisna. He is a big source of inspiration for me. He asked to me if i wanted to do some theatre, i never did theatre, but i thought "If i accept i will pass lot of time with him, ok i will do it" The title of the Drama was "The jagannath history" and i was Indrayumna the king. It was an amazing experience to work with him and the drama liked to all the public!! It was very funny!
After of that i went to New Vrajamandala, to take a course of education (some differents pedagogical methods) with Yadunandana Swami, this course its fantastic, i learn a lot of new things and i remember differents knowledges that i learned in the university. Very positive experience 100% i think that we are going to do the next level in  October or November. 
I miss a lot the continue association with the devotees, i like to have time to read, cook (i like a lot to cook sometimes i cook in the temple, and the last weeks i was in the kitchen helping to prepare the prasadam for the program) but its very hard to stay with out devotees near to you, when the mind attacks me im alone and its very difficult to controll it.
The death can come at any time... im trying to put this idea in myself to develope more attchment to the holy names!! I think that one of the best things to stay far of the temple its that i miss a lot the association with the devotees and to do service that i usually do. I think that its good cause now i have many motivation and a strong desire to return to the temple!!! Its like a lesson that the life gives me to appraise how much important and valuable is the sadhu sangha and the service.
Your servant Bhakta Marcos.

HpS - ASA - AGTSP. Sorry took so long to answer this letter. We got so much behind because of the USA tour. Now what is the news? Back in Espiritu Santu? Initiation? It is so nice that you have so much chance to meet such a big variety of devotees!
