Urgent - Sadhana

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

Hare Krsna Guru Maharaja,

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

My consciousness has been in a lower state for the last half of January.  I have been having unwanted desires and longing to be with my wife, when previously my consciousness was more clean.  I have been attending mangala arati daily but have to leave the morning program for work at the start of japa time.  I tried doing more service but this did not fix the problem.  I spoke with Madhavendra Puri Prabhu and he advised this is due to chanting my rounds in the evening with less attention.  He recommends that instead of attending mangala arati to wake earlier and chant with him in front of tulsi.  Is this something that you approve of, Maharaja?

HpS - AGTSP. Try it! Sing the Gurvastakama during B. Muhurta. Only takes two minutes, with enthusiasm. Seems like MVPP is a wise Dude.

Hoping to become and remain a servant,

Bhakta David II

 A G T S P !
(((paoho)))
Here we are in Tandavika Das' ashrama in Franklin, Tennessee. We feel like hell, but happy at heart. Yesterday, we went for a hike in the country with IECOO, Rupanuga, M. Dora Bazaan, Dina, Laksmana, German, Om Kesavaya Das et al. It was refreshing and a LOT of work, but excellent results for NIOS also.

After that (6.30AM - 4PM) we returned to Miraflores and packed and un-packed until 8.15PM in a semi-panic stage with CMDD, YKD, LAD, (patrak), Oscar-anna, ART, JSD, (M. Ganga DD), (Chosica Temple, Abhinandan Das), Bh, German. Then we left (little late) for the airport (Zooom!  ZooOOM!   ZOOOOM!) with Jambavan Das in his 600-horse power chariot of fire!

The waiting line (with company of Caturatma Das!) was ONE-HOUR. Then quick good-bye to all the kind devotees and into the waiting area at 11PM. (Monkey offered Lord Nrsmha deva four Rhesus P-nut-butter Cups and he and Piggy hogged out on the 'Prasadam' (our four principles need fine tunning)).

Aluminum weiner to Miami. 6-hours, 12PM to 6AM. Got a three seats to ourselves! Kind of slept in a tortured posture. Chanting, chanting, chanting, 26-rounds done!

Transit in Miami ~ (7-oz of Chocolate P-nuts (more fine tunning necessary, but reaction for body was not very bad and this all seems to be basically the mode of passion, gotta slow down). More Japa and got to Nashville, still alive! Nobody to pick us up. Phone connection bad. Chanted for 1-hour in airport then M. Meena came for us. (a Sannyasi should not talk to women in private more fine tunning necessary)). One hour ride to Franklin, then Lord Nrsmha deva on the altar and rice, pinto-garanza bean carrot, dosa sour cream, strawberry preserves Prasadam.

History of the Three Wise-men on You-tube, nap from 12.30-3.30PM. File, letter, Calendar, $$$, purge... here! With you all.

Hare Krsna!!!

Now: 

  • Let's bath,
  • Japa. Got 15/26 rounds done. 
  • Get association of Tandavika and Musa this evening. Call NGD, Abhiseka Das.
  • Sunset 5.15PM, Sunrise 6.45AM ... B. Moohurta = 5.15-6.00AM
  • Calendar for next few daze.
  • Kapi-dhavaja!

​16-hours travel = 16-hours work. Brother Ass deserves a rest today and tommorrow!

Oink! Oink! Whoop! WHooOOP!

DTC - (We/29) 5.48AM

11 years, 5 months ago by hps in DTC

<kbd>            A G T S P !   (paoho)    We are really tired, exhausted, weak, hovering near death [our doctor tells us so], but happy with lots of energy at heart! Last night was an incredible program at Derrama Majestrial, the auditorium of the Peruvian National Teacher's Society.</kbd>

<kbd>It was our regular tour theme, Science, Psyche and Spirituality; The Encounter of Carl Jung with the Yogic Mysticism of India. Several Professors and a robust audience were present. We hope it was recorded. The program at La Cantuta was recorded and maybe it can be printed.</kbd>

<kbd>Today we have 7 of our 26-rounds done (R[7/26]) but we will leave for the beach etc with Rupanuaga Das at 6.30AM and won't get on the airplane until 11.55PM, so we should have lots of time to chant more. It takes a lot of time to chant rounds like this so we have to alot more than 7-8-minutes per round. </kbd>

<kbd>Today is also our regular Bhakti Vaibhava meeting with Nimsar, and packing. That means packing emotionally, socially, luggage-ly and intellectually. We have to review what has happened.</kbd>

<kbd>O.K. No Japa Joe tommorrow. We will be in the airplane and then Friday it will be at 1.30AM Nashville time.</kbd>

   Hare Krishna Guru Maharaja, Muchas Gracias por Su carta, he sentido Mucha Felicidad al poder estar en su Vyasa Puja con Usted Presente y he recibido mucho néctar al escucharlo hablar de Su servicio y ofrenda a Srila Prabhupada!!, me sentí muy afortunada al poder tomar Su maravillosa asociación y la de tantos devotos y también Sus seminarios; me gustó mucho también lo del proyecto educativo, muchas gracias por Su preocupación para desarrollar la educación, que es tan necesaria. En relación con Su última respuesta, junto a mi esposo, Hari Murari d, fue muy lindo leer lo que Usted escribió, ojalá que algún día por su misericordia pueda desarrollar buenas cualidades y se justifiquen sus tan hermosos pensamientos,  Lo esperamos en Chile, intentando complacerlo.

             HpS - ASA - AGTSP!!!  It was very, very nice to pass such very, very nice days with you all in Santiago. There will always be challenges from Maya as long as we are in the material world, but from our perspective there are many good things and a lot of eternal progress in your character, the character of the Yatra, ISKCON.

We hope you have lots of success in your Sankirtana with Yoga et al.

Prabhupada Ashram in Chiclayo

11 years, 5 months ago by Anka R. Varda in Personal Sadhana Reports

TLGASP, por favor acepte mis reverencias a sus pies, aqui continuamos con las 16 rondas fijas, levantandonos a las 4 a.m para el mongolarti [mangala-arati] y continuando con el sadhana completo, los 4 principios y los retiros espirituales.

El dia de ayer disfrutando del atardecer, me vinieron estos pensamientos del corazon:

Amados maestros espirituales, misericordia de ti Señor, ellos van por el mundo propagando tus santos nombres, enseñando con su ejemplo y guiandonos, de repente todo se transforma, cuando nos envias un alma elevada como Prabhupada, toca nuestros corazones desorientados, con el canto trascedental, mistico, melodioso de tus santos nombres, de la imploracion a ti, como un niño perdido clama a su padre regresar al hogar, recobrar nuestra posicion de servicio a Ti, que nos saques de este mundo de ilusion, nuestra alma ansiosa y cansada de repetidos nacimientos y muertes va saliendo del fango que nos cubre y es entonces natural y nutriente seguir los  4 principios y el canto de tus santos nombres va purificandonos, arraigandose en nuestros corazones, eres tu Señor respondiendo a nuestros ruegos, vas deshaciendo los apegos, haciendo los arreglos, quitando los obstaculos de nuestro camino, vas despejando la obscuridad que nos dificulta seguir hacia Ti, ya no nos atrae lo que este mundo ha inventado para encadenarnos mas aqui, a las miserias, comprendemos que lo perecible no puede ser real, incluyendo este cuerpo, solo deseamos seguir el camino hacia Ti en asociacion con los que tienen el mismo objetivo, despejar nuestra memoria, recobrar el Amor puro por Ti Krishna.

Rogando siempre al Señor por su salud y tener su santa asociacion, le adjunto algunas fotos que me pidio. Su aspirante a sirviente, Anka

             HpS - ASA - Jaya! TlgaSP Desculpa nuestra Espanol como un burro. Puedo entender como 80% de su poema, pero aparece muy bueno! Siento triste no ver Vds. aqui en Lima mientras estamos aqui.

Espero que Payanidhi, Citta hari, Yadu... todos son adelantando bien en su vida espiritual.

Hay programas regular?

Que pasa con Sankirtan en Ferrenafi, Chiclayo?? Super fotos!
