HpS - ASA - AGTSP. paoho.... [email protected] ... If it doesn't work write here again!
A G T S P !
(((paoho))) 3.49AM - R(-3/32) ... Ooops! We missed Japa Joe this morning. 1st time this month I think(?). Too many cookies last night. We got confused in all the Rathayatra rush and ate too many too late! We apologize for our lust. We have to try to be sure that it will never happen again.
"Oh, I can control my senses. I can have delicious cookie Prasad hanging around and not be affected", said Tom Brown.
"Ha! Ha! Ha(re)!", said Buck White, "You idiot! Put it deep, deep, deep in your intelligence! Never have more than you need for Lord Nrsmhadevas direct offerings alone in your house. You must live life a Sannyasi not a Grhastha.
You may possibly be a pure devotee by effort, but not yet by spontaneous habit.
Live like a Madhyama-adhikari. You still have material attachments, but you can keep them under control by INTELLIGENCE and work very enthusiastically to remove them."
O.K. ... Unlimited service (based on Japa-nama) to day.
See you later.
P.S. We did our best to get to the mail yesterday but that was an honest failure. We just had too much work to do with the Hawaii, SB class preparation. It is at 11.30AM today.
Hare Krsna Gurudev, por favor acepte mis humildes reverencias
Todas las Glorias a Srila Prabhupada!<img alt="" src="http://hps.monkeywarrior.com/sites/all/libraries/ckeditor/plugins/smiley/images/40.gif" title="" />
Espero que usted se encuentre muy bien y feliz.

Querido Gurudeva me reporto desde Radha Madhan Gopal Dam cantando 16 rondas, 4 principios y Mangalartic casi sin interrupcion soy una vaca a la que no le agrada ahun el echo de levantarce temprano pero por su misericordia lo logramos con exito.
HpS - TlgaSP! pfanrh. Mooooo y bien!
Sigo con la atencion a Nitai Caitanya Candra todos los dias manteniendo un estandar adecuado para ellos y atendiendo a Tulasi sin descuidar mi servicio en el templo y la boutique en la que ya es parte de mi servicio tambien, ahun no se como ago para poder hacer todo pero por su misericordia sin causa aunque con errores trato de hacerlo lo mejor pocible Radha Madhan Gopal son muy tolerantes conmigo y me permiten segir aqui tratando de tocar Sus pies de loto diariamente.
Las semanas pasadas estubieron llenas de misericordia y el templo estubo lleno de devotos puros y pude tener una misericordia especial de P Mahatma Das, gracias a una charla con el pude resolver una situacion que me afligia en el corazon desde hace ya tiempo a tras y que me impedia segir avanzando en mi vida espiritual, cuando hable con el senti como si estubiera hablando con Usted y senti una coneccion muy especial no se si eso pueda ser pocible???? o solo sea mi propia especulacion :/ <img alt="frown" src="http://hps.monkeywarrior.com/sites/all/libraries/ckeditor/plugins/smiley/images/confused_smile.gif" title="frown" />
HpS - Si.
Pero ahora estoy contando los dias para poder verle espero que Krishna me permita poder servirle vida tras vida y nunca alejarme del camino, por su misericordia y la de Srila Prabhupada aferrarme a los pies de Loto de los Devotos.

Gracias!!! Adelante! ~Super fotos!~
Dear Gurudeva,
Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to our Srila Prabhupada!
I hope you are healthy and content.
HpS - ASA - AGTSP. This is the material world! Ooof. We have diseases just like you. We are always being attacked by fear and anxiety, but we have some knowledge! Jaya Srila Prabhupada! Thank you for your letters.
I have an inquiry, because reading your remarks about guru-tattva left me with some questions. I wish to inquire for the good of all our readers. You mention that if a disciple does not chant his or her rounds, or fails to follow regulative principles, that you cannot act as diksa guru. I am not sure what this means, and i must admit this sounds heavy to me.
For example, many young mothers find themselves unable to chant 16 rounds in the first years of motherhood. My wife inquired with other devotees, and she was told that their gurus told them to chant as much as possible, similarly in the case of another girl who had a chronic disease. Does the door to the parampara then close, or what does it mean? How is diksa restored with the spiritual master? Does it happen as the disciple 'confesses', admits the situation to the spiritual master? Will you please enlighten me on these intricacies?
Please forgive me for my any indecencies in our dealings. I wish you a nice day.
Your insignificant servant,
Raghava Pandita dasa
HpS - AGTSP . Paoho. Thank you Pandita Das. Of course, it is good to get these things straight before initiation, but it is natural that we are going over the basics again and again. That's what I am doing!
Srila Prabhupada makes this point again and again and again in his books, letters etc:
"As already explained, one should not be idle but should be very enthusiastic about executing the regulative principles — tat-tat-karma-pravartana. Neglect of the regulative principles will destroy devotional service. In this Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement there are four basic regulative principles, forbidding illicit sex, meat-eating, gambling and intoxication. A devotee must be very enthusiastic about following these principles. If he becomes slack in following any of them, his progress will certainly be checked. Śrīla Rūpa Gosvāmī therefore recommends, tat-tat-karma-pravartanāt: "One must strictly follow the regulative principles of vaidhī bhakti." In addition to these four prohibitions (yama), there are positive regulative principles (niyama), such as the daily chanting of sixteen rounds on japa-mālā beads. These regulative activities must be faithfully performed with enthusiasm. This is called tat-tat-karma-pravartana, or varied engagement in devotional service." NOI Three
So, there may be special circumstances. Jayapataka Maharaja was in a coma for months, but in general Krsna asks for this so He will give us facility to do this. Babys sleep a lot. So, if Mother's priority is to chant her rounds properly so her breast milk is nectar and not poison then she can do it nicely and it will be nectar being a Mother then.
For us the term Mataji is the same as the term Maharaja for a Sannyasi.
Some one else, Srila Prabhupada, Jayapataka Swami... may have a diferent position on this point. They maybe strong enough to hold onto a devotee who has become materiallly heavy from not doing Japa yajna. We aren't. We will fall in the water if we try.
We saw Hansadutta Das through his falldown. He said that it was because he tried to become the "Bhoktarama yajna tapasyam..." Supreme friend and stay as Guru for so many Kanistha devotees.
"avasaya raksibe krsna.." Upadesamrta. Krsna has given me this service so He will certainly give me the strenght to do it.
Look at what people did in World War II. Our austerity is nothing, and it is guaranteed to help the other services in the best way possible.
Break the vows but want to get back on the path, O.K. we are Siksa guru, Patha-pradarsika-guru, Vartmana-pradarshika guru. We will work with you in the details to get it back together. You can have us as your Guru, but not as Diksa guru until you are situated properly again.
O.K? If anyone asks we will tell them that you can explain it??? <img alt="smiley" src="http://hps.monkeywarrior.com/sites/all/libraries/ckeditor/plugins/smiley/images/regular_smile.gif" title="smiley" />
ALL GLORIES TO SRI SRI GN, TLGSP TO SRILA PRABHUPADA!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you for your letter guru maharaja!!!!!!!
YOU ARE RIGHT I CAN SING THE 16 rounds, BUT AS THE SONG WITH CONSCIENCE?
Guru maharaja, i am thinking about studying architecture next year ... but live in a temple for me is very very important I need live in a temple, I am only interested in the Ashrama of brahmacarini, but i do many things, For example : for a long time i study german,took classes of mrdanga, studied drawing and photography..........I would have to separate all the activities of guru maharaja to live in a temple?........There is nothing better than the devotional service, but you know that there is that study...
HpS - No!!! Just work out some practical relation with devotees, administration. Is very good to learn things for Krsna.
Sunday dasanudasa! This nectar is gm! The spiritual brothers do much service, i was very happy to share service with them.......I am eternally grateful for his mercy, and by everything that makes guru maharaja Please, forgive me for all the offenses and all my anger and lust.....I hope to be able to serve you all my life ... my respectful obeisances to the lotus feet your stupid servant......bhatina teresa
HARIIIIBOL!!!!
HPS - ASA - Why architecture?
