10 years, 9 months ago by jaramara in Personal Sadhana Reports, Sankirtana / Temple Activity Reports

Hare Krisna maharaja: Writing from my phone with some difficulties. PAMHO AGTSP This Week by the mercy and entusiasm of Bhadra Vardana & Sananda Devi Dasi I started my own book distribution marathon. Has been and amacing expirience. I distributed around 150 viaje al auto conocimiento and 50 fantasías vegetariana. The interaction with the people was grate. I am planing to continue next Week. Bhakta Marcos is also getting the sankirtan mood and Hope Will be distributing Many books soon. Yasoda and Dandava also joined one day. There is a big meeting This weekend in new vraja mandala with gbc and Many devotees but I was not invited. I gess I dont deserve the asociation of the devotees yet. So I Will keep on sankirtan triying to purify my soul. Any speciall instruction or order for me guruji?

         asa - agtsp.  paoho.  not joking when we say that you should realize that jara-mara-hari das is a -great- devotee.  just go on happy and get involved in administration when devotees ask you.  if they ask you to be aggresive in developing projjects, then do it as they ask.

My plans are to keep on book distribution and improve the cuantity and quality of my relation with the devotees. Shadana goes really smoothly, nice rounds and reading a lot. Right now Sbb first canto and CC adi-lila Regards Pd. Working in the developement of my kittri and halaba and in the leading of morning program. Thanks for acepting me as your servant in the misión of his divina grace Srila prabhupada

                 HpS - How is your son???

AGTSP

PAOHO

Hope U feel better by now.

           ASA -  AGTSP     paoho.   We are miserable, like you and everyone else.  Feet are swollen.  Head ache coming from answering 25 letters, but is not cold and damp to death like Lima.  Hare Krsna, Hare Krsna!!

We were really worried for not seeing U at Japa Joe ¡¡¡ Utsahan ¡¡¡

All the members of NIMSAR try to follow your standar because the blessings are when we follow the instruction... Thanks for your inspiration.

As You know we had a meeting in chosica July 28th (Independence day for Peruvians).. The deities were Gorgeous and there were a very nice festival that day on the temple 

LAD suggested that it will be good to have  a general coordinator for education that works with the coordinator of each temple
It was explained that Nimsar is affiliated to ASA, under the jurisdiction of Tamohara Das. In Peru it is expected that  NIMSAR  has the same relationship with the temple that Bhaktivedanta College has with the temple. Independent but integrated with the management of the temple.
 
Regarding to the Introduction of Bhakti Yoga  the authorities suggested including   Courses for disciples
One suggestion is to locate  people according to their propensities
And later there can be courses for Communication, administration, etc..
It is suggested that when we give courses we should wear  devotional clothes.
It is suggested to give training for  monks
P. Jaga Jivan  said that He can invite  Visudha Sattva (Cosmology and other courses)
 
We made the  announcement the begining  NIMSAR courses on September 28th 
 
  P. Jagajivan talked to some disciples from HH HpS, he was concerned about the threat of political influence among some disciples against the authorities, he said that he  appreciate, respect and follow the advice of HH HpS and P. Jagajivan promised to write an  apology to the blog.
The coordinators of each program in NIMSAR discussed about costs of each course,percentage for NIMSAR
Bhakti vaibhava starts in La Paz Bolivia in August 
Bhakti vaibhava in Lima registration, invitation, for August 13th the advertisement will be ready.
We will present calendars,scheduling, Will be presented calendars, scheduling and books of BS, BV, IBY (Introduction to Bhakti Yoga).
 
¨ Next department coordinators meeting on Friday, 2nd  4 pm via Skype.
There is one temple manager, one coordinator and one tutor, in the meeting we will discuss the role of each one.
We noticed the necessity to update the study guides.
The three coordinators of each department will also be part of the commission to create the guide for Introduction to Bhakti yoga.
Thank u all so much Gurudeva for all your inspiration, blessings and shelter ¡¡¡ We feel so blessed to have your guidance ¡¡¡¡
Hope to see U soon

History of a fallen soul

10 years, 9 months ago by Bhakta David II in Personal Sadhana Reports

Hare Krsna Maharaj,

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

This small jiva is very grateful to hear the news of your merciful response to his previous letter regarding having to leave the morning program during japa.  All glories to your merciful tolerance of his faults.

I would like to give a little history of my sadhana.  I received books 10-1/2 years ago and immediately accepted everything Srila Prabhupada stated in them,

             ASA -  Jaya!

.... became vegetarian in a week, and started working my way up in chanting rounds gradually.  I had been wanting and attempting gradually to become vegetarian for two years at that point, and had an interest in the vedas previous to receiving books.  A year later I began making the hour drive to Gita Nagari every weekend and every week that I could while attending college, and attending a Friday nama hatta home program each week.  I very much enjoy the company of Sri Sri Radha Damodara, and long for the sight of their lotus feet nearly every day.

These 10+ years have had many ups and downs in my sadhana, and I had not been chanting the whole time but had done so for most of this time.  About 3 months ago came the conclusion of a 5 year marriage with yajna in the temple room but not before Lord Damodara.  We had met shortly after I came to Krsna consciousness online.  I still tried to repair it since those 3 months, but it did not work out, as we have different paths.

I now can devote much more of my time and activities that are not spent at work on my personal sadhana and a tiny bit of unqualified service at Sri Sri Radha Govinda Mandir.  I become much too depressed to unallowable and dangerous levels when my mind is not fixed on the lotus feet of Radha-Krishna for anything otherwise, and I now realize this more fully.

It is now my hope that somehow, this ass can become less of a rascal enough to please you and the feet of Lord Sri Damodara in due time, and learn to listen to Krsna's guiding hand instead of my own foolish mind, to allow him to somehow pull me out of this engrossed state in the bodily conception of life.

Hoping to become your servant,

Bhakta David II

             HpS - ASA - is an honor to hear your history.   who do Radha Damodara keep as Their associates?

Todas las glorias a Srila Prabhupada

Querido Gurudeva

por favor acepte mis más respetuosas reverencias

              ASA -  AGTSP....

Acá bhakta Rodrigo de Santiago de CHILE.

 

Espero que Usted se encuentre muy bien. Yo estoy un poco cansado, muchos proyectos culturales y mucho trabajo. Y poco dinero! Es raro encontrar un poeta con mucho dinero!

               "Laksmi and Sarasvati don't bless the same people."

 

Si Krishna quiere ahora en agosto empezaremos a funcionar con nuestra propia agencia/productora en Comunicaciones. Espero en una próxima carta escribir cosas personales.

 

Este es un pequeño reporte de nuestro servicio:

 

Arjuna, Jagat Guru, Ignacio y yo participamos cada vez que podemos de reuniones a nivel Latinoamericano, todo coordinado gracias a Prabhu Abhirama de Perú.

 

Por misericordia de Krishna, ya tenemos confirmado 2 programas/conferencias de Usted en Santiago: En estos 2 lugares Usted ya estuvo el año pasado y ellos quedaron felices!

 

1-Cine Arte Alameda: Martes 12 de noviembre.

 

Acá por primera vez en Santiago podremos mostrar en una sala de cine profesional (pantalla de cine profesional) una de las películas de Usted. Tal vez LA FORMA UNIVERSAL.

 

2-Centro Cultural Palacio La Moneda: Jueves 14 de noviembre. Una conferencia más música en vivo. Ellos también quieren dar una pequeña película!!

3-Se está trabajando en organización de Festival RATHA YATRA. Ya están creados los departamentos y los servicios. Estoy ayudando a Arjuna a conseguir patrocinios y auspicios ($$) para RATHA YATRA.

ESTO ES POR AHORA NUESTRO REPORTE. Esperamos poder contar con su divina presencia en noviembre.

 

Aunque nosotros somos muy caídos y como burros, Usted es nuestra vida!!

Su aspirante a sirviente eterno,
Bhakta Rodrigo Hernández Piceros

                asa -  ooof.  no somos bien de energia.  es mejor dejar al lado todas la programas ahora y ver si podemo viajar mas o no.  ya el resultado es en el canto de los santos nombres y escribir libros.  es casi claro no tenemos mas de 10-anos vivir en esta cuerpo, pero posible, despues de eso volveremos a goloka.....   moo, bosque...  vamanos....
