Madrid's Temple report

11 years, 5 months ago by Dandava das in Sankirtana / Temple Activity Reports

Hare Krisna, Dear Gurudeva. Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada.

I hope you’re  fine.

The last week I posted you a letter in the blog.

In the past Madrid’s Temple’s Assembly on 26th Feb, the devotees agreed that administration of Madrid’s Temple was transferring to A.C.K Spain, and we created a new Rector Council for the Temple. It was done in front of G.B.C (Hradaya Caitanya Das Prabhu), G.B.C’s Secretary for Spain (Vedavyasa Das Prabhu) and Yadunandana Swami as intermediary between the Congregation and Comunidad Hare Krisna Bhaktivedanta’s Rector Council (Jayanta Das, Avesa Rupa Das, Adiras Das, Jiva Tattva Das, Jaganmohan Das and Dandava Das).

The agree was that Navalakunda  carried 118.00 euros from Madrid’s Temple in exchange to change the Madrid’s Temple administration and administrators mainly.

Finally the devotees elected a new rector Council for A.C.K. Madrid, and the G.B.C suggested and approved the next charges:

  • President: Dandava Das.
  • Secretary: Carcika Devi Dasi
  • Treasurer: Janardan Das
  • Vocal: Jiva Tattva Das.
  • Vocal and Temple’s Commandant: Jaramara Hari Das.
  • Madrid’s Temple’s representatives in A.C.K: Jiva Tattva Das and Dandava Das.

We are working very hard, and we had some problems with transfers of the powers and administrative matters. Some devotees did not put it easily. Now we must develop the Master Plan that I sent you some weeks ago. The Congregation are very enthusiastic and closer. We only can develop the Temple’s project together: I am the only gardener. How many places can I go? How many fruits can I pick and distribute?. It would certainly be a very laborious task to pick the fruits and distribute them alone, and still I suspect that some would receive them and others would not. Therefore I order every man within this universe to accept this Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement and distribute it everywhere. I am the only gardener. If I do not distribute these fruits, what shall I do with them? How many fruits can I alone eat?. By the transcendental desire of the Supreme Personality of Godhead, water has been sprinkled all over the tree, and thus there are innumerable fruits of love of Godhead. Distribute this Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement all over the world. Let people eat these fruits and ultimately become free from old age and death. If the fruits are distributed all over the world, My reputation as a pious man will be known everywhere, and thus all people will glorify My name with great pleasure. It is the duty of every living being to perform welfare activities for the benefit of others with his life, wealth, intelligence and words. By his work, thoughts and words, an intelligent man must perform actions which will be beneficial for all living entities in this life and the next”. (C.C Adi Lila 9.34-43).

I would like to ask you your blessings for all devotees who want help to develope Caitanya Mahaprabhu’s mission in Madrid, for the new Rector Council and for me. Please, be merciful with me and let me keep at your Lotus Feet.

Finally, as new Madrid’s Temple’s president I’d would like to ask you come soon to Madrid, if it’s possible this year 2014. If it’s possible you can propose us your free dates, many devotees want to see you again, and may be to take shelter in you.

Thank you for all.

Please, let me keep at your Lotus Feet.

Your humble servant, Dandava Das.

HPS AGTSP WE Just ANSWERED OTHER LETTER. WE Are In AIRPORT HARD TO READ NEWS BUT THINGS SEEM FINE. Yes We All COOPERATE FROM WHATEVER POSITION KRSNA HAS PLACED US.

Cambios en el Templo de Madrid

11 years, 5 months ago by Dandava das in Sankirtana / Temple Activity Reports

Hare Krisna, querido Gurudeva. Por favor, acepte mis humildes reverencias, dandavats. Todas las glorias sean para Srila Prabhupada.

Siento no haber podido escribir antes, tal y como me indicó el pasado Lunes durante el Japa Joe, pero he estado muy ocupado. Transcribo la carta en la que comunicaba a los devotos del Yatra de Madrid los cambios que se habían producido tras las reuniones del fin de semana.

"Hare Krisna. Queridos amigos y devotos. Por favor, aceptad mis más humildes reverencias. TGSP.

Como muchos de vosotros sabéis, a lo largo de este fin de semana han habido dos reuniones muy importantes con la presencia de Hrdaya Caitanya (GBC), Vedavyasa Das (Secretario del GBC para España) y Yadunandana Maharaja, tanto con el Consejo Rector (Sábado), como con la Asamblea General (Domingo) de nuestra comunidad.

Del resultado de las mismas se han producido una serie de cambios estructurales y organizativos importantes.

El primero de ellos es que el Templo sito en la C/Espíritu Santo, 19 pasa a integrarse en la A.C.K (Asociación para la Conciencia de Kirsna de España). Lo que en la práctica implica que pasa a regirse por los estatutos de la misma y ser administrado por un nuevo Consejo Rector elegido por la Asamblea General y cuyos nombres son:

  • Jiva Tattva Das.
  • Jaramara Hari Das.
  • Janardan Das.
  • Dandava Das.
  • Carcika Devi Dasi.

En la primera reunión de este nuevo Consejo Rector, de común acuerdo con el G.B.C  y Secretario del G.B.C para España se han nombrado los siguientes cargos:

  • Presidente: Dandava Das.
  • Secretaria: Carcika Devi Dasi.
  • Tesorero: Janardan Das.
  • Vocal: Jiva Tattva Das.
  • Vocal: Jaramara Hari Das
  • Representantes de ISKCON MADRID ante la Asamblea Nacional de la A.C.K: Jiva Tattva Das y Dandava Das.
  • Coordinador de servicios (Comandante de Templo): Jaramara Hari Das.

El anterior Consejo Rector pasa a administrar el proyecto rural de Navalakunda con la personalidad jurídica de Comunidad Hare Krisna Bhaktivedanta.

Por lo tanto, el Templo de Madrid es A.C.K.  y el proyecto de Navalakunda es Comunidad Hare Krisna Bhaktivedanta.

Los miembros activos y colaboradores de la Comunidad Hare Krisna Bhaktivedanta figurarán como Activos de ISKCON MADRID,en tanto en cuanto no decidan causar baja y cumplan lo establecido en los Estatutos de la A.C.K para el caso. En su momento les serán remitidos los Estatutos de la misma.

Desde ISKCON Madrid agradecemos en general y yo particular y especialmente a los devotos que han estado durante tantos años gestionando de manera tan impecable este proyecto de Madrid: Jayanta Das, Avesa Rupa Das, Adiras Das, Jiva Tattva Das y Jaganmohan Das. Tenemos una gran deuda de gratitud para con ellos. Son grandes almas, grandes devotos y magníficas personas, íntegras, honestas y sinceras.

Ahora se abre una nueva etapa donde, si cabe aún más, debemos trabajar en cooperación y reciprocidad, no sólo a nivel interno de Madrid, sino con el resto de proyectos de España: Nueva Vrajamandala, Barcelona, Valencia, Málaga, Tenerife, Navalakunda, Madre Tierra y el Instituto de Estudios Bhaktivedanta.

El capital humano es el valor de toda institución. De nada sirven las paredes vacías. Os invitamos a que asumáis el reto de hacer algo para que este mundo cambie, para que la sociedad cambie, para que Madrid cambie, para que Espíritu Santo 19 cambie. Porque sólo si hay algo que cambia en nosotros y por la asociación con otros que, como nosotros, quieren ese cambio, podemos revolucionar este Templo, esta ciudad, este país, y porqué no, el mundo entero. Lo hizo un anciano de 68 años llegado de India a Nueva York en 1965. Nosotros sólo seguimos su legado. Y si seguimos sus pasos no nos equivocaremos.

Muchas gracias por todo, por estar ahí y nos vemos en la calle Espíritu Santo 19 como cada día o por las calles de Madrid cantando: "Hare Krisna Hare Krisna Krisna Krisna Hare Hare / Hare Rama Hare Rama Rama Rama Hare Hare".

Un fuerte abrazo y que Krisna os bendiga.

Atentamente, vuestro humilde sirviente Dandava Das."

Le pido sus bendiciones para poder trabajar para Krisna y qeu siempre, siempre se haga la voluntad de Krisna en nuestros corazones.

Gracias Gurudeva por todo.

Su humilde servidor.

Dandava Das.

           ASA - AGTSP paoho.  Thank you for the link!  We are in the packing mode for India so we could just look at the first part and then when we tried to jump ahead it wouldn't run. Hare Krsna. It is Radha-Ramana's festival, no?

Dear Gurudeva please accept my obeisances . All glories to Srila Prabhupada.

I hope you are well with your great service to Srila Prabhupada.

I am Chanting 16 rounds following four principles, the marathon last December I was in the temple all the month, I´m trying to learn from the devotees it was wonderful but also hard . I could not study and my rounds were late for the  services. But yes, as I experienced my faith in Krishna impressively increased and that's all thanks to you.

I received an email from the University which said  that would not be possible to unsubscribe a other year and I must  return in January, inside me , I felt happy, but sad because I do not want to be away from the devotees. I thought of the months I was in the temple and pray to krishna with all my heart to let me live with devotees near the temple and continue with the University .

I knew Govinda, my spiritual sister, she´s from Monterrey has been working on a project with Prabhu Mahasankarshan , we think the idea of ​​living near the temple together and unite forces. We asked several Brahmanas whether it would be good , with the temple president and all gave their blessings.

Sri Sri Madan Gopal Radhe , are too merciful , we are now living together, looking to make an Ashram in order to study or work on our projects, but also search out Sadhana in the temple.

Gurudeva Please pray for us his blessings and not make so many mistakes to remain firmly in Mercer learn to love God by serving you.

Jaya Sita Rama !

               HpS - ASA --- Jaya! AGTSP. paoho. Seems very very nice. I would just say that you can focus on seeing nice ways to introduce Krsna consciousness in your university life. Pantheism, Krsna is the taste in water and the light of the sun, is one way. More advanced, He is the param-atma so people who are attracted to introspection, intuition, art, creativity, meditation can also be stimulated. Of course, direct kirtan, lecture, kirtan, prasadam programs and DISTRIBUTE BOOKS. Even taking Purports and distributing them separately is nice.

Super nice foto!!!  Thank you.

See you Gaura purnima!

Hare Krishna

Todas Las Glorias a Srila Prabhupada

Todas Las Glorias a Usted GuruMaharaja

PAMHO

Primero que nada espero que se encuentre bien de salud al recibir el presente reporte Gurudeva.

Seguimos con 4 principios estables y 16 rondas aunque no muy entuciastas, Maharaja no se que me pasa pero ultimamente me da mucho sueño estoy en plena ignorancia y no me siento bien. Habia encontradó un empleo pero solo estube 2 días porque salia muy tarde y no tenia tiempo de hacer casi nada, ni de estar con mi hijo, de nuevo estamos en la busqueda de empleo.

Acá en Uruapan están las cosas muy pesadas debido al crimen organizado al parecer el gobierno ya quiere terminar con todo, la ciudad esta llena de policias federales y soldados, es peligroso salir de noche, pero los enfrentamientos más feos son en las orillas y comunidades cercanas.  Por favor le ruego sus bendiciones para que todo termine lo más rápido posible.

Seguimos en el centro de predica con los programas normales, tenemos el servicio estable de preparar el boga para el programa del domingo.

Hemos descuidado un poco la lectura, pero nos propucimos reanudarla precisamente desde hoy. Gurudeva no me gusta la actitud que estoy tomando, me siento estancada ¿Qué puedo hacer? :(

Por favor Disculpe nuestras ofensas

Su caida aspirante a sirviente

HpS - AGTSP translate.google.com - There is no "magic" solution. You just have to do your best to put your Japa first, four principles second, nice morning [brahma-muhurta] program third and then help the Sankirtan movement as you can.

Do your best to fight THE WITCH and then depend on Krsna.

Of course, this all becomes very easy if you get good association. Physically visit devotees, more important do service with them, even if it is something that doesn't require physical association all the time. Call on the phone.

O.K. Waiting for more news.
