Hare Krisna, Dear Gurudeva. Please accept my humble obeisances, dandavats. AGTSP.

Thank you for your answer, Gurudeva.

We have much to learn ....

In a few years we'll see all things with better perspective than now and I'm sure we'll laugh while we're chanting Hare Krisna toghether.

Now let's go to work, work, work for Krisna.

Thank you Gurudeva, thank you.

Your humble and fallen down servant, Dandava Das.

  Pamho, AgtSP. :)

   Muy querido Gurudeva. Espero se encuentre bien de salud.

   17 rondas minimo. 4 principios. Servicio a Sus Señorias. Estudiando algunos versos de Bhakti Sastri y adoración que me queda por aprender. Intentando ser más constante en la lectura. De momento tendré que seguir soltero, ya que hablaron con la  devota y no queria casarse.

  Estuvieron los representantes del ministro de adoración. El Señor Nrisimhadeva se tiene que acostar. El estandar de Sri Sri Gaura Nitai tambien tiene que subirse, y esto que tiene que decidirlo el consejo. Personalmente pienso que tienen que conseguir un equipo de pujaris, para poder desarrollarlo ya que no pueden canalizar todo sobre un devoto; ese devoto puede abandonar el cuerpo, enfermar etc y el servicio quedaría sin hacer. Por lo tanto creo que deberian buscar algun pujari que no sea de la congregación...(puede ser dificil pero si no se intenta)
    HpS - ASA - AGTSP paoho. www.translate.google.com Actually the Pujari work is the responsibility of all the Grhastha's in the community. It is not a profession that one person does to earn his livelihood. All the married people should cook for the King, make clothes etc. If they don't use their strength for that they are 100% guaranteed to falldown.

   Las Deidades se dan por instaladas. Tengo compromiso con el templo de Madrid hasta agosto del año 2015.


 Esto es un resumen de las cosas que se deberian implementar en la adoración.
Acostar: Quitar el vestido del día, y poner pijama.
Despertar: Ok.
Mangala Aratic OK. Con pijama. Coronas de sencillas, o turbantes
sencillos.
Baño: de acuerdo a Arcana Padati.
Govinda, con camara. Tomar caranamrta.
Guru puja. Fuera 5 a 10 minutos. Armarito empotrado en la pared de en
frente.
Ofrendas: dos platos. Guru parampara y Deidades. Dupa Aratica en las
ofrendas que no hay aratic después. Incienso, flor y camara. 8 minutos.
Sundara aratica: 1 ofrenda, leche, fruta, dulces con algo de grano, 20
minutos.
Poner Tulasi y pasta de sandalo en las Deidades Grandes y pequeñas.
Cosas para delegar: guirnaldas diarias para las las pequeñas y para las
grandes.
Cambiar sabanas una vez a la semana.
Una vez al mes maha limpieza. No se requiere 1ª iniciación, solo buena
disposición. Solo entraran para limpiar altar, armarios, ordenar
parafernalia, sin tocar Deidades y sinhasana.
Una vez a la semana pulir parafernalia.

 

  -En agosto me voy al templo de Malaga, Gauranga Lila DD y Abhimanju Prabhu han dicho que me dejarian entrar en el altar si usted me da sus bendiciones.

  -En una ocasión hace tiempo me dijo que adelante con segunda iniciación. Creo que estoy totalmente incalificado, pero estoy dispuesto a afrontar esa responsabilidad, pienso que es bueno para realizar el servicio y asi poder calificarme. Hable con Dandava Prabhu y me dijo que hable con usted. ¿hay alguna manera de poder hacerlo ahora? ¿es mejor esperar?. ¿Que piensa de esto Gurudeva?.

   Pobre, tonto, ignorante. Tratando algún dia de poder servirlo: Jharikhanda-gaura Das.

Pamho, AGTSP. :)

HpS - ASA - What time are you getting us daily? Do you have nice study program for SB etc? Nice pictures. Ask Gaura-Nitai what to do. You are serving Them, They are very, very grateful.

All Glory to Srila Prabhhupada

All glory to Sankirtana movement by Srikrishna Caitanya

Dear gurudev:

Please acept my humbles obeisances.

the past days I visit devotees on Queretaro, Uruapan, Monterrey and Guadalajara

on Rathayatra comittee I have the service to make the public relations.

On Monterrey ask  to me make the preaching program, what do you think about?

               HpS - AGTSP . Paoho. Seems like it would be good!

 I'm chanting the 16 rounds every day and try to do not offences, and follow the principles.

     HpS - AGTSP!!! You are going to Goloka. You and Satyabhama and Marco can all be peacocks in Vrndavana and dance together in step to Lalita's drum. Oooomp!   Pahhh!    Ooooomp!    Pahhhh!  Hare Krsna, Hare Krsna....  ! ! ! So much fun.

your servant Aniruddha Krishna Das

Tell us the results

association

10 years, 11 months ago by harsh_horse in Personal Sadhana Reports

Hare Krsna Maharaj, Dandvat Pranam, AGTSP
Its only by your mercy , that we are trying to move towards aim of life. Its majorly light reflected by your mind and intelligence, that we can see our faults and progress.

     HpS - ASA - And we can say the same thing about Srila Prabhupada and our efforts. We hope we can stay out of the way of his light so that we don't block your access.

We have been updating Urmila Mataji about developement on householder front quite regularly.
We discussed about “association” with her a lot.
She mentioned association is of two types (i) physical (ii) vani,
It may be due that our offences we are not able to get physical association.

Conclusion was we have to focus on Vani association and hope physical association may come if we are sincere.

We also see that we do commit offense 1, as we have very evaluative mentality. We are focussing more on self evaluation, and things are becoming smoother

In the last two letters you have stressed importance of  association.
i) Follow Lord Caitanya's instruction, example to chant a fixed number of rounds on Japa Mala. Read Prabhupada's books, all in association of devotees.
ii) Illict sex is usually a community problem not a private problem.
Now when you say association in above advices, were you referring to only physical association ?

HpS - Physical association has little or no value unless we are associating with the persons mental life. A cockroach may be on the throne of the King but that does not mean that he is an intimate associate of the King. Unless we talk with people, know their mental life, then we might just as well be associating with a clothing store dummy, no?

PhD
Our PhD guide/advisor has become Head of Department, and lot of other developments happening on the same front . We may complete PhD in two years time.

Resource
i) Sacisuta Pr has taken excerepts from SP lectures and made Prabhupada Wisdom Series for every topic. here is the link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xpd2L_0pfzA

HpS - Ha! HA! Hare! Sounds like the Vanipedia project. We will look at the link, but also remember that Srila Prabhupada said, that even in one hundred years you could not read his books thoroughly.

ii) Screwtape Letters by CS Lewis, tells us about various tricks of Maya in day to day life of comman man, link http://bookzz.org/md5/161FC33AB996179CE1E3037D7DE27397

HpS - Yes, we read it also! Thank you!

regards,
bh harsh..

hope we can help you.

HpS - Remember Harsh and Hare both start with Har!! Let's go to the next letter!!!

How Can Our Mind Be Full Satisfy In Our Service??

Trying To Control Our Sences,  Chanting Good Heartly Rounds.....

Your Eternal Servant Panca Tattva Das

             ASA - AGTSP paoho. Your letter is very inspiring. Of course, you must have been a Brahmacari in your last life time or a Brahmacari in Grhastha Ashrama. "How Can Our Mind Be Full Satisfy In Our Service??" Of course, the first place to look for an answer is SB 1.1.11. After that the whole SB is trying to answer this question. The Gopis are trying to answer this question. It goes in progressive stages. In the beginning we have so little mental satisfaction that we have to destroy our mind with beer every now and then, but later we just need Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck, or Spider man and Harry Potter. The NOD answers the question, but it is just a rapid summary of the SB. So, for you, from a great distance, reading your letter I might ask if you have your own deities that you plan to keep for every?

Hare Krshna dear Gurudeva

Please accept my obeisance, I wait that you are very well totally Gurumaharaja, although your heart always are with Sri Krishna so always you are protected.

   HpS - ASA - AGTSP. Paoho. We still have material desires but they are under control today and diminishing. Guess that means we are Madhyama-adhikari, but there are higher and lower such things.

In this moment I finish the 4° semester in the university with 9.7 of qualification,

    ASA - Out of possible 10 or 100???

I’m happy but  too I’m unhappy because I could not wake up early to mangalartik in this month, and my rounds were bad, and I didn’t sankirtan, I cannot  be strong and I´ve neglected for my biggest responsibility Gurumaharaj, forgive me please… <img alt="crying" height="23" src="http://hps-d6.monkeywarrior.com/sites/all/libraries/ckeditor/plugins/smiley/images/cry_smile.png" style="font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.5;" title="crying" width="23" />

     HpS - ASA - No, you must become a rat in Vrndavana unless you change your priorities. Ugggh.  They live in the sewer canals where the water from everything that comes from peoples houses flows. They crowd together and sleep during Mangala arati and then when the sun comes up they go to look for the best garbage. <img alt="devil" height="23" src="http://hps.monkeywarrior.com/sites/all/libraries/ckeditor/plugins/smiley/images/devil_smile.png" title="devil" width="23" /> What about finishing with 8.7 and getting up early and getting your rounds done. Then your 8.7 will be very, very, useful to Krsna and you can become a peacock in Vrndavana rather than a rat. Deal???

 Now there is much change, I live now in other place, still with women devotees, it’s yet near to the temple,  we are 5, and all we are associated, I mean we have a relation with men devotees,  so we are studding the manual grihastha ashrama and preparing for the responsibilities that the future we are work. Prabhu Aravinda says that it’s a kind of Ashrama pre grihastha, we have an altar in the house. I feel happy and protect, it’s a new world for my and I’m learn to much especially tolerance.

      HpS - ASA --- Sounds pretty good. Still possible peacock but not gopi right away. Uddhava was happy if he could get a job as a blade of grass in Vrndavana. Iskcon, Ki Jai!

In summer vacation I want to do sankirtan every day, and improve my sadhana, I have a new service in the temple, I will participate in ASA kids in a children seminar, every Sunday with Matayi Gopi Radha, I’m study the manual and help to translate it, please Gurudeva I need your blessings because I don’t have nothing coalification but I want to participate in your Sankirtan mission and understand if the education is a place where I can service.

         HpS - Jaya! HOw is your Temple President????

Prabhu Marco and I study the 3° chant of SB, I get the book because in internet it’s difficult for we, and too we study together the manual grihastha. We are well so far, and the next plan is go to the vyasa puja of HH Bhakti-bhusana Swami in my dear Cuaramaro the next week.

 In the projects of school I was speak that spiritual energy in the elements materials that were in our corporal structure. I wanted used your recommendation, the pantheism, and my master of multimedia is very happy with the project, basically is  a rongoli that is moved with the wind in a video but the video is reproduction when a person blow a pinwheel. That is possible with mechanism electronic, now I don’t have well photos but this project is for December and can prepared better.

A lot of changes in myself and the world around me, I don’t know how I will to do that my mind keep fixed in the holy name and how I will you pay as all it does for me, only I know that as well as time, this cannot stop, and not fail to pray how Srila Prabhupada for not stop dancing.<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" />

Jaya Srila Prabhupada!!!

    O.K. - but what about changing from 9.7 to 8.7 at school and from 3.7 to 5.7 in ISKCON??!  The whole world is waiting for your decision. [Pictures look mystical]
