Quick Report

10 years, 5 months ago by Captain Blue Dog in Personal Sadhana Reports

Hare Krishna Hanumatpresaka Maharaja,

Please accept my humble obeisances.  All glories to Srila Prabhupada.  All glories to you.

Thank you for answering my letter. you could have just as well advised me that the process is not for me.

I will try to follow, but even if I am following I am not qualified to have the association of devotees.  It is my hope that through their mercy I will not lose their association.  It is almost guaranteed that I will fall down, but I will do what I can.  The only reason to be alive is to chant and follow the process.  I will look inward and see if I can keep with the process.  Then after some time I will try to report back.

Aspiring to be your fallen servant,
Captain Blue Dog

           HpS - AGTSP  paoho.  If the process is not for us, if we are not on the stage of Bhajana-kriya, then we can maybe work on the stage of Sadhu sanga. See BG 4.10 for the stages. There are details paraphrased in NOI-7 or 8. Every body is different. I amy be at Nistha but not ready to work at Ruci. We will always, always, always see higher and lower platforms. Most people where you live don't even think about an eternal life.

They think Budweiser beer can solve all the problems in life.

Hare Krishna!!!

Todas las glorias a Sri GauraNitai...

Todas las glorias a Srila Prabhupada

Maharaja por favor acepte mis humildes reverencias.

En Uruapan hay un pequeño centro de predica en donde hay programas los miercoles, viernes, sabados y domingos. solamente hemos estado asistiendo los viernes y domingos por cuestiones de trabajo pero en pocos días lo vamos a dejar y trabajaremos por cuenta propia, así tendremos más tiempo para hacer más servicio en el centro de predica y  estudiar el Upadesamrta como usted lo ha indicado.

Gracias a la misericordia de nuestro señor Sri Krishna acabamos de terminar la licenciatrura en Psicología, ahora pretendemos dar consuta y algunos talleres a padres de familia y adolescentes. 

Maharaja como podemos complacerlo y servir a los pies de loto de Srila Prabhupada si somos tan degradados, seguimos los 4 principios y cantamos 16 rondas pero aun así nos sentimos tan caidos, que podemos hacer? 

Ya no hemos podido conectarnos a Japa Joe porque quitamos el internet en casa y la señal del celular no es buena, le pido disculpas.

Estamos contando los días para su visita a México, gracias por esa gran misericordia.

Por favor perdona mis ofensas

su aspirante a sirvienta

          HpS - ASA - AGTSP  It was very nice to meet you in Mexico City. We did meet right?  Ha!  Ha!   Everything went so fast. I remember being introduced to you in your physical form and then seeing you in the programs. This is the kind of Guru we are. Don't expect that we are any substitute for Srila Prabhupada. We only hope to be a help in you approaching him. The Gopis think that they are fallen, have no devotion. That is natural, but as a practical matter, NOI-3, if you are chanting and following principles then your bad habits are under control and diminishing.

Just go ahead.

Who are some of the devotees where you live? Give us a little bio-graphy of them!

Keep working!

Hare krsna dear Gurudeva!!!!!

All glories to SRILA PRABHUPADA & U!!!! ( my saviors)

pamho

How are U?????

           HpS - AGTSP.  We are feeling a little low on energy and that makes us want to lament and fear, but our intelligence tells us that this is just the body. We are doing well in terms of body management, task management.

It is been 8 weeks and 1 day since our last letter... please forgive us for that... 

Our sadhana is not as good as we wish... some days (specially the days after university classes) we get up late (like 6am)... we are still adapting to this schedule; but we will back to our regular sadhana....but for now 16R,4P and MA 80% of the week, worship everyday our dearest Lords and Bhakti Sastri classes on Sundays...

   HpS - We have the same bumps when we expand to a new service. Takes a little time to adjust. Of course, we become more expert at Vaidhi bhakti as time goes on.

Health is better by the Mercy of krsna... despite all the pills we can do some service ...

Classes at the university are ok... work is ok...

    HpS - We are very interested: What classes are you taking now? How long is the entire curriculum? What will you learn? What official diploma do you get? Are you going to take Sannyasa in a few years?

actually we have to priorize... we want to do many many many things ... 70% are for krsna... so the other 30% has to be delete or changed for krsna!!! we are working on that...

             HpS - We are something like that to.

thanks a lot for all Ur support and for sharing the DTC on the Blog... we read it everyday.... 

We loved what we read on the blog.. "We can die for Krsna or we can die for sense gratification of this donkey. Yet we are going to die. Dying for Krsna is fun!"

we are very happy that U come for Christmas!!!!

always trying to be a useful tool for Ur sankirtan!!!

at your feet

Patraka Das

              HpS - ASA - Again happy birthday!   Thank you for this letter. Always try to keep the whole world in your picture. Srila Prabhupada wanted to save the whole world, so please work with that idea. Even if everyone else in Peru, South America, the whole world doesn't understand your situation, how will you go ahead.

O.K. More mail!

Thank you!!!   We arrive in 65 days 4 hours and 4 minutes.  By then we hope to have progressed a lot with Carl Jung work.

What can we do to spread Krsna consciousness in Peru?

Here we are in Houston, Nila-madhava Dhama.   Yes, the four daze in Mexico were ecstatic,    i*n*t*e*n*s*e. We arrived at the Temple after a long hard journey and gave the Sunday feast lecture and talked with several devotees and guests.

We took rest about 9.30AM and when our alarm went off we were half conscious and a voice from space said, "Are you sure you want to push your body this hard (get up for Japa Joe)?", and we, half-conscious, said, "No", and went back to sleep until 3.30AM.

Seems it was for the best.

Now it is 9.49AM. We have 18-rounds done. Full morning program in the Temple. SB is starting the chapter of Hiranyakasipu Plans to Become Immortal. Govind is here from Monterrey. She can stay until Thursday. The education meetings start tomorrow. We are starting the work to transfer the money for M. Jambavati DD's dental surgery.

We have essays to catch up for BhVai.

Taking a moment with you to look at everything, things seem to be under pretty good control. Now we will relax a little, do light work and finish reading all the translations for this week's BhVai chapter, M. Prthu Meets the Four Kumaras.

Hare Krsna / Hare Rama!

Ghostly Influence

10 years, 5 months ago by Bhakta David II in Personal Sadhana Reports

Hare Krsna Maharaja,

Please accept my humble obeisances.  All glories to Srila Prabhupada.  All glories to your lotus feet.

Thank you for the verse on sleep.  I do also have issues with memory.  I am hoping those clear up soon.

Thank you for the compliment regarding intelligence Maharaja.  I think I noticed that you had noticed my mental condition was disturbed when I came for prasad after being at work.

Regarding ghostly influence from previous life, I do think that is the case.  The way I believe that I last died, I would have been ghost afterward.  I have been looking into past life information/regression and that is helping.

I am getting great association at Radha Govinda Mandir, and have made much improvement.  As I continue my sadhana, I am sure this influence will clear up.  Krsna brings us back to where we were so that we may continue.

Hoping to become your servant,
Bhakta David

                   HpS - ASA - AGTSP....  paoho....  Very nice.  Everyone is different. Krsna does not take into account as much, how much is in your hand when you make a donation to Him, as how much is left in your pocket.

One man is giving $10 but has nothing left in his pocket. Other man is giving $100 but has $500 left in his pocket. Do yu best to fight your enemies taking help from Krsna!
