Hare Krsna Guru Dev - "... is 2.3 seconds per mantra!"

11 years, 5 months ago by Gopal C Biswas in Other

Hare Krsna Respected Guru Maharaj,
    Please accept my humble obeisances at your lotus feet.
    All glories to Srila Prabhupada.
    All glories to Guru parampara.

    Thank you so much.

    This is regarding, http://hps.monkeywarrior.com/node/3800."... is 2.3 seconds per mantra!" : Some time it is very difficult to get
    space in temple on the month of Kartik. On 6 Nov 2013, it was a day before Prabhupada's festival, which was 7 Nov 2013. So much
    devotees had reached in Vrandavan. To see the crowd, i just attended Puja at Prabhupada's Samadi temple. and chanted all rounds
    at Samadi mandir. Did not went to inside the temple hall. we paid obeisances from out side the temple hall. And continued chanting
    at samidi temple.

    That day, i had finished my 12 rounds before 4:10 AM and remaining at samadi mandir.

    When i chant without sound and with mouth movement, i observed it takes less time, compare to when i chant with sound and
    with mouth movement.

    During Kartik Pravas (stay) in Vrandavan, I experimented three way of chanting:
    Type : 1. Chant with sound and with mouth movement.
    Type : 2. Chant without sound and with mouth movement.
    Type : 3. Chant without sound and without mouth movement (inside chanting).

    Type : 3 takes so much time, 4 rounds 30 minutes. Then comes Type : 1 and Type : 2.

    Secret of Chanting : When i chant, i just focus only one thing at a time. Like, some time, lotus feet of Srimati Radharani,
    some time flowers  around Srimati Radharani's lotus feet, some time Lords eye, long hair, face, mala (garland) around neck,
    some time Lords color - blue or black, some time Lord's tao nail and some time Lotus colore of Louts feet, some time Lord's floot,
    some time cloth, color of cloth etc... my rounds go over and over and we really feel very calm and cool. And just don't want to
    go out from that. And then entire day, i just want to be in that.

    During chanting, when i focus on flowers around Srimati Radharani's lotus feet, we get awesome freshness. Similerly many, many things.

    Guru Dev, Please guide me, if i am making mistake.

    Thank you, Guru Dev.

your fallen servant,
Girivaradhari-Gopal Das

                      HpS - AGTSP paoho. Very nice. 1) What kind of project are you doing at work. Who are you working with? Can you chant out loud and record one round.

Todas las glorias a srila prabhupada 

todas las glorias a Ss Hanumatpresaka Swami 

tengo 33 años de edad y llevo en la asociación para la conciencia de krsnha  3 años , aniruddha krsnha das me ha ayudado mucho , me dio la etiqueta  vaisnava  y me dio una lista de como leer mis libros por que yo no savia por donde leer yo tomaba uno y luego otro .

luego el año pasado me dio la gracia de ayudarle ha cooperar con algo de maja para el vyasa puja de su santidad .

con aniruddha krsna das fúy a México cuando usted estuvo aquí y también me dijo como meterme a esta página para poder escribirle  en el templo arregló los utensilios de sus señorías que estén en mal estado y también con los devotos que necesitan que les arregle sus kunti mala o cosas así , me han encargado hacer un mazo y un arado para el señor balaram de una devota que vive en el templo .

yo siento gran atracción por  srila prabhupada  en el me he refugiado y he tratado de seguir todo lo que dice , en realidad soy muy débil lleyendo  el néctar de la instrucción y el  néctar de la devoción  hacen mención que la una a forma de seguir avanzando es refugiandose en los pies de loto de un maestro espiritual fidedigno que venga  del paran para  , y yo e sentido gran  amor por usted  por eso me he atrevido a pedirle refugio y le comenté a aniruddha  todo esto  por eso me dijo que le hablará  y le escribiera para  tener asociación  

en este año o había ningún iniciado por usted en Guadalajara para sementar su vyasa puja así que le pedí de favor a la madre radhika ,y con ayuda de la madre daivi devi das me  dieran permiso y la madre redhika me dijo  que sí ataba bien pero algo muy simbólico por que hau. No estoy iniciado habemos tres personas en total que estamos interesados por ser iniciados ir usted gurú maharaj  

se despide de eterno sírvete el más pequeño he o segnificante de todos y me postro azteca sus pies de loto con gran respeto y veneración esperando que no le ofenda mi petición

Please accept my humble obeisances

Dear Maharaja

We are still in Wash DC, we had to cancel return trip to Montreal due to malfunctons on the train track central in NY caused by the unusual low temeratures and derivates, date of return now is Wed 15th, next week.  We thank you so so much for your words of encouragement to our little efforts here and there, thanks for your kindness and mercy.  On your question of diksa, and having our bond to Krishna formally brought to the altar,  yes, we have been thinking and wishing,   devotees in  Montreal have been asking about it also,  but we felt Krishna was making proper arrangements, now we know for certain.  We will take diksa with you Maharaja whenever you decide the right time is.  You set the time and date and we will be there.  As I said before thanks a thousand times for your kindness and mercy.   Sri Guru and Gauranga ki jaya !

your humble servant

bhakta Raul

Dear and esteemed gurudeva,

Please accept my humble obeisances,

All glories to Srila Prabhupada,
In this most auspicious day of your divine and transcendental appearence in this world I feel tremendous joy and fortune of trying to glorify you and the parampara.

You always teached me, your fool children, that I must glorify yourself in the perspective of the whole guru parampara. And the importance to do so is exactly what I’m realizing because of your causeless mercy.

A month ago I finished the disciple’s course which is now a pre requisite to take harinam diksa within our institution. It was amazing, a great opportunity for a very funny sadhu sanga and at the same time very enlightening about the guru tattva, the position of Srila Prabhupada as the Founder Acarya of ISKCON and the importance of being very aware about the parampara.

When I think in that perspective one image comes to my heart. I see Radha And Krishna cooking a big feast, continuously, always expanding, with no end. Then this maha prasadam is passing by the whole parampara. Each person takes some and distributes the rest in a very personal fashion. Then when it comes to Srila Prabhupada I see him taking a huge amount of mahaprasad from his gurumaharaj and he serves us a wonderful feast, in the form of his books, lectures, conversation, letters, etc. Then because he is so merciful I am able to see and even taste that feast, but because I am very inexperienced I don’t know what to take or in which order taste it to take real advantage of that feast. So in that moment gurumaharaj, I see you completely relaxed and smiling in a so beautiful way, you approach chanting and dancing and you take a little piece of the feast and you say “Take this please this is suitable for you know, if you want more please ask me”. You make accessible and understandable for me the teachings of our Founder Acarya, and I know that they are his teachings, what he received from his gurumaharaj, but you make me I can understand them and deposit them in my heart as the guiding light of my life.

Dear gurumaharaj, I’m not able to glorify you because I don’t understand your transcendental qualities, but I do feel very fortunate of having your divine association and guidance.

I was a zero, wondering in the material universe, but you came to my life, and kindly put a one before me to give it some valuable purpose, “please serve guru and Krishna with your life and soul, they will do the rest, don’t worry”.

So now I have something to live for.

At your lotus feet always.

Your insignificant servant.

Bhakta Nicasio.

HpS - AGTSP. paoho. I hope everyone knows that you have take Hari-nama Diksa and you have been born again as Nikunja bihari Das. Thank you for you enlightening words! We hope our menu to Srila Prabhupada's feast is of some use. P'pada says that even in 100 years we cannot read all of this books thoroughtly.

We are making progress on the Goloka Education Primary school. News soon.
