Todas las Glorias a Srila Prabhupada!!!!

Hare Krsna Guru Maharaj, reciba mis humildes reverencias, estamos aquí en Perú - Huancayo - haciendo Sankirtan con la compañia de Prabhu Advaita, Madre Madhavi, madre Nadiya y yo, estaremos por aquí por dos semanas y despues de regreso a Lima para el Ratha Yatra.

Despues del Ratha Yatra iremos de Sankirtan por Arequipa, Puno, Juliaca y Cuzco para hacer la Marathon de Srila Prabhupada.  

Tenemos un proyecto con Prabhu Amala Karuna, queremos abrir un snack vegetariano en Cuzco, la idea es poder hacer programas de Predica:  Harinan, distribución de prasadhan, distribución de libros, Ratha Yatras, probablemente abrir otro centro de predica en Cuzco. El poner un snack vegetariano es para ayudar económicamente a hacer estos programas,  en nuestras horas libres haremos Sankirtan de libros, bueno ¿que le parece la idea?

Por otro lado nuestro sadhana esta muy bien, levantandonos a las 3 am, cantando 25 rondas de yapa, siguiendo los 4 principios regulativos, leyendo el Caitanya Caritamrta Madhya Lila, capitulo 1 "Los pasatiempos medios y finales del Señor  Sri Caitanya Maha Prabhu".

Bueno Guru Maharaj veremos que plan nos hace Krsna, lo que si tenemos seguro es seguir en la misión de Sankirtan de Srila Prabhupada. ¿Como esta usted? esperamos poder verlo en diciembre.

Hare Krsna Guru Maharaj, reverencias y un abrazo!!!<img alt="" src="http://hps.monkeywarrior.com/sites/all/libraries/ckeditor/plugins/smiley/images/38.gif" title="" />

           HpS - ASA - Jaya!   TlgaSP.   pfanrh.  Muy bien sus noticias. Pienso si va a abiri un centro en Cuzco tiene que hacer todo con bien co-ordinacion con Raghuvaram Das, Presidente alla, no? Claro, a veces hay conflictos de personalidad, estillo de administracion entre devotos pero podemos adjustar estas cosas de plataforma Vaisnava.
Esta bien?

Muy bien su Sankirtan!

DTC (Th)7 - 8.03AM

10 years, 5 months ago by hps in DTC

AGTSP!    paoho   How are you-all?  We are in Tennessee for almost one week now. We have a bunch of spider bites or something all over one part of our beloved body. Maybe some fever from them also.

It is good in that it makes us detached from our love of skin and try to find the Lord within.  Oink!   Oink!   WHOOp!  WHHOooP!

Also, with our own office-ashrama-cave, it is real opportunity to really see who we are, what is our devotion, psycho-physical nature. We have a chance to try things that we have wanted to do for 35-years and see what is the result. The main thing we want to try is to be a pure-devotee. Abandon all religion inspired by material or even spiritual  sources different from our own personal Dharma.

Japa Joe is a life-line for us now. We get 16-rounds done early and then after that we can do a lot of experimenting, actually follow our Sannyasa-dharma.

Is the same for you all?

Most important thing is we have to write. What to write? Hmmm, still not completely clear in terms of projects, but...  that is a very central issue because trying to do Writing Projects may be an even more basic problem, mistake.
There is a comment that Rudyard Kipling, Nobel Prize in Literature, could not write more than poems and short-stories. His novels are a collection of short stories, articles.

We chant our rounds. Our beads are our worshipable Deity. Four principles gross AND subtle. "In this Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement we require everyone to rise early in the morning, by four A.M.,and attend mańgala-ārati, or morning worship, then read Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam, perform kīrtana, and so forth. Thus we hold continuous activities in devotional service twenty-four hours daily. This is called sato vṛtti, or following in the footsteps of the previous ācāryas who expertly filled every moment of time with Kṛṣṇa conscious activities." NOI 3.

Full morning and evening program.

Sankirtan Partners - That very much grows out of this Blog. If you don't participate in this Blog then pretty much you are not a member of the ASA Cosmic Traveling Sankirtana Party.

Sankirtan Targets - (Targets?) People we are trying to preach too. They come from this Blog also. Academic and cultural groups. Wherever you go, whomever we meet...

...  O.K. Japa, Diary, Gayatri-sandhya...  [Pretty cold here now] We are adjusting.

[[Wonder if we will die from these spider bites. ]]

Important Questions

All glories to SS Guru Gauranga

Hare Krsna Guru Maharaja!

I write because I have some questions; - if a devotee, a disciple of a spiritual master from another school, as Vrinda, can take siksa Guru in ISKCON spiritual master?  

- If these people can take siksa guru, then, does this person can actively participate in ISKCON, without any problem or not?

I hope your health is better.
Please accept my humble obeisances.
tried to serve, Guna Manjari dd
             HpS - ASA -- AGTSP.  paoho.  We answered this questions a lot in the letter to Candramukhi Devi Dasi: http://hps.monkeywarrior.com/node/3583
A Siksa guru as we have heard from Srila Prabhupada is anyone who enlivens us in devotional service by citing relevant instructions from the Acharyas or Scriptures. So, there will be many kinds of Siksa-gurus and which one we have depends on our particular spiritual situation. If we are looking to get properly initiated in a bona fide Sampradaya then the Siksa-guru is called Vartmana-pradarsika or Patha-pradarsika guru. He does not have to be an initiated devotee. He can just give us the advice.
In the letter to CMDD we give a lot of other aspects of the question.

URGENT RATHA YATRA 2013

Hare Krsna Beloved Gurudeva:

AGTSP

PAMHO

Hope this meets U in good health and that your chest muscle cramps have stopped.

             HpS - ASA - - AGTSP!   (paoho).  They were just there for one afternoon. Happened before, but still got the rash and bumps from the (?)spider bites. Always something, no? Chance to get as attached to the Lord in the Heart as we are to the Lord in the skin.

Gurudeva just a few lines to inform U that it is confirmed this November 23rd it is going to be a Ratha Yatra in Chosica ¡¡¡

Without your blessings we can not do anything so the commission of Ratha Yatra humbly approaches U and ask for ur blessings ¡¡¡

Also please can U write or tell us where we can find some enlighting words from SP and Jayananda prabhu regarding the Ratha Yatra festival ??

Thanks in advance.
Personally I feel so blessed due to the Lordships always engages us in Their service in one way or another.

Jaya Jagannatha ¡¡
Trying to be useful,
Candramukhi dd

           HpS/ASA - AGTSP.....   Jaya Jagannatha Swami!  We just penciled the date onto our calendar. Just 16-days from today. That means you will have Snana-yatra this weekend? If you look on the Youtube.com, "Rathyatra Prabhupada", there are some lecturers. Also, Prabhupadavani.org, "Addresses", may have some lectures, but we didn't see any. However, CC 2.12-13 have so much information, icons, that there really doesn't seem to be much more needed.
I can tell you some experiences that we had with Jayananda Das and Rathyatra. One general comment of Jayananda was that Rathayatra was a very special festival, that Lord Jagannatha was very merciful and He comes out of the temple and gives almost everybody and chance to love Him, do something for Him. So, expect that a lot of people can be involved in many ways.

Rathayatra is the emotional return of Krsna Dvaraka to Vrndavana, from Para-bhakti under rules and regulations to Para-bhakti in the spontaneous mood of Vrndavana. It is revealed to us by Lord Caitanya and Srila Prabhupada, who is one of the Gaura-bhakta-vrnda. That's all we know.
We sure hope you get letters from Jayapatapataka Swami and others also!
Please send news to the Blog

Everyone can bring their personal Jagannatha's for Snana-yatra, for the parade. Have flags in the procession. Have a "Meditation" booth and invite people to try meditation, Japa. Have little Japa malas, like 18-beads for use and sale. Use our website. www.bhati.org/japa

Hare Krsna Gurudev!

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

        HpS - ASA --  Long way from lotus. AGTSP. We are hoping for apple-blossom feet.

I cannot thank you enough for all of your merciful association the past two weeks.  I had many questions on my mind that caused much uncertainty in my life and some struggle, but you answered all of them, and I am satisfied.

   HpS - ASA - See "Image One" below.

You helped put a lot into perspective, which helps to continue in my service with better understanding.

I will remember these (almost) 2 weeks for the rest of my life, but I hope to have the chance to serve you that closely, or even more, again and again.

I brought some books with me to the airport on the way out as you instructed, and distributed them.  I had a nice conversation about Krsna consciousness with the man who sat next to me on the plane, and he took a Sri Isopanisad and gave a donation.  Also distributed a Coming Back, and PoY/BBaD to two others at the Denver airport.  Sending the donation back to Houston shortly.

I hope Bhaktin Govinda's initiation went well!  Hoping to get the recording of the initiation lecture from her or Mother Yasoda.

Your association is purifying, and I feel renewed confidence and enthusiasm to execute devotional service, and also gained some mental clarity as well.

Ever thankful for your mercy,
Hoping to become your servant,
Bhakta David II

HpS - ASA -- Well, the same to you and more of it!!!   Initiation was great. Actually every day becomes greater and greater!  You life is complicated. But also others. I would say that it is very normal for people to be at one level in the formal process and another level in their practical realization. Did Van Got become great artist because of what he learned in art school?

what is mind?

10 years, 6 months ago by harsh_horse in Special Category B

hare krsna maharaj, pamho, agtsp.
we have understood that we are thinking quite often that we are this mind, more often than that i am this body.

we had some discussion in node 3054. on this
-continuing to point that MS Word is an idea.  the intreseting part is that even though it is idea, it is represented by binary language in the to some storage device and transferred. so even software is transmitted through hard ware... every hardware has also some compatibility with range of software only.. it can not work with every software

           HpS - It can also be printed out on paper.   We could start C++ for example and go to Binary.           I "get" and idea?    Where does it come from?   No hardware involved.        We are continuously receiveing ideas, no?  A little perspective and it is obvious that inumerable ideas are coming and we ar accepting or rejecting.]
------


Now our question is
i]what is mind?
ii] how it effects intelligence ?
iii] How can convince any natural scientist that chanting clears the mind? ceto darpan marjanam.....
iv] chanting clears the mind or intelligence or both?
v] What are the signs of clear{mood of goodness} mind and intelligence ?
vi] what is the parallel of mind in spiritual world ?
vii] what is source of ideas ?

viii] What is link between desire and ideas?
--------------------------------------
sorry for asking so many questions, as u know with out any physical association, we are taking association of our mind, and surrendering to it. so we thought better to understand it.
hope this may help in dialogue ith Prog Carl G Jung.

regards,
harsh

             HpS - ASA ---  Jaya Srila Prabhupada, who has inspired our understanding of what is this world, how to use it as a ladder to Krsna-loka! 

Some one has just finished learning to count and do addition and subtraction and just starting fraction and asks what is calculous, how can it be applied. the answer is that he has to progress in the normal curriculm to  understand, no?

this is explained in second half of 2nd canto and then several times in third canto.

all we can expect is that hearing explntion in gita a natural scientst will  be satisfied with abc and want to learn to spell now.

yes, by mercy of lord caitanya, we can a taste of higher yoga level.

how do you understand this text and purport. mostly the text:
