source of relationship to other Krsna's forms?

11 years, 6 months ago by Namacarya das in Other

Dear Guru Maharaja, please accept my humble obeisances.
All glories to Srila Prabhupada!

Krsna is the Supreme Personality of Godhead, the source of all  other incarnations, and all material and spiritual worlds (basically everything).  The jivas are His parts and parcels and are eternally related to Him.
He is one but has many forms (Rama, Nrsimha, etc.). It is explained that Krsna has many forms because He reciprocates with different moods that devotees have with Him.

How the jiva becomes attracted to some form other then Krsna Svayam Bhagavan (If jiva originally comes directly from Him)?

Your servant Namacarya das

   ASA - Buck White/Tom Brown - One day in Vrndavana, actually the forest and village of Kama, Radharani declared that they were all going to play Rama-lila. She would be Sita and here older brother, Sudhama, would be Ravana and kidnap and hide her, and Krsna with all the Monkeys, gopas, would try to find her.

Well Sridhama did his job so well that Krsna and the cowherd boys couldn't find Radha for a long time and she said, "Oh, goodness! This is too long. Let's go find Krsna and play some other things", but Sridama twirled his theater mustache and said, "Haaa!  Haaa!  Haaa!  I am Ravana, King of Lanka, and I have kidnapped you for my pleasure. You will never see Rama again!".

Radha pleaded but Sridhama was very determined and so She was Kidnapped!

Well, we'll tell you later what happened,

but that is our understanding. All these other Lilas are so much fun. They fit into the Rasa dance, Vrndavan, in their own way. We want some chilis in the subji, but not predominant!

So, Krsna and Radha expand into other forms so They can go on playing these other pastimes forever, without stop.

O.K??

Reading Upadesamruta

Hare Krishna Maharaj,

Please accept my humble obeisances, all glories to Srila Prabhupada and Gurudev.

We very happy and absolutely ready to read Upadesamruta under your direction and to do the home work along with reading Srila Prabhupad's biography.

At present. I'm reading Bhagavad Gita and things which were not clear earlier, slowly revealing the true meaning. And also reading a bit Srimad Bhagavatam and Chaitanya Charitamruta (when they are referenced in BG).

Slowly experiencing the difference between "understanding" and "following/practicing".

Hope to serve the LORD and devotees with you mercy and blessings.

Your humble servant

              HpS - ASA - Very nice. AGTSP.  Paoho.  How is the family? Who is in the family? Who are your primary associates in Mayapura? How do you make your money. A picture and description of your home altar!!

Our ASA, NOI study guide is at http://www.jayarama.us/archives/tpp-noi.doc

What do you think of it?  Maybe you could edit it and we could co-publish it.

We get to Kolkatta on the 10th morning, February, and then get to Mayapura like 15th evening. We will stay until 24th, then go to Vrndavan and back to USA 1st March! [Lord Vasudeva willing]

Yessss, understanding is Jnana yoga and applying is Bhakti yoga. Of course they are very related, no? If you don't understand then how can you apply? What is family studying?

H/K Desde Uruapan Michoacan

11 years, 6 months ago by Linda Janeth in Personal Sadhana Reports

Hare Kriashna!!!

Todas las glorias a Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu

Todas las glorias a Srila Prabhupada

Todas las glorias a usted GuruMaharaja 

Espero se escuentre bien de salud.

Seguimos 4 principios y 16 rondas fijas. 

Los devotos de Uruapan son: Prabhu Milton, él es psicologo esta acargo del centro de predica, ahora en Ratha Yatra va a tomar iniciación por parte de SS Bhakti Sundar Maharaja.

                HpS - ASA - Jaya!  TlgaSP!!   Prabhu Milton, Swami B. Sundar!

Tambien la madre Lizbeth esposa de Milton, El prabhu Edgar y el prabhu Abelardo, La madre Lupita estudia la universidad, su tía La madre Carmen, La madre Karla y sus dos hermanos, la madre Xochitl, ella es maestra y psiciloga, la madre Alejandra tambien es maestra tiene dos hijos, hay más devotos pero ellos son los más fijos, aun no estamos iniciados pero tenemos el amor por nuestro señor Krishna que nos impulsa para seguir adelanta. Hay más devotos que ivan al otro sentro de predica pero despues del secuestro de los devotos se asustaron y ya no han querido seguir. Estamos comenzando a estudiar el Upadesamrtha Prabhu Milton lo esta preparando todo.

En el centro de predica todos hacemos de todo, tambien estamos empezando un pequeño programa para niños, con manualidades, cuentos y juegos. cocinamos, limpiamos y algunas veces damos clase de el Bhagavad-Gita, con sus bendiciones podremos seguir adelanta.

Estamos planeando ir a las Universidades de la ciudad para dar algunas platicas, creemos que esta población puede ser favorable para el movimiento, ¿cree que este bien hacerlo? pensamos que los grupos delictivos no se encuentran en este sector y que además no corremos peligro. 

                    HpS - 'Luz de la Bhagavata' es bueno libro para base de predica en los universidades. Puede buscar en www.jayarama.us/archives "lob" y va a encontrar shows de powerpoint, guias de estudio, mucho. Por favor que piensa Milton de Carl Jung, Eric Fromm?

Por el momento me despido no si antes pedir sus bendiciones para poder seguir adelante, somos muy caidos y sin ellas es dificil avanzar.

Por favor disculpe las ofensas 

su aspirante a sirviente 

Bhaktin Linda Janeth 

               HpS - ASA - Si, muy buena suerte adelantando adelantando. Primero cosa es desarrollando habito levantar para brahma-muhurta!!!   Arati,  Japa, clase, kirtan, SB, prasadam.

Unos fotos de los devotos!!

[[[paoho]]]]. . .  Oink!   WHoop!    whhhOOp.  It's been below *f*r*e*e* zing cold here!

We got back from the Isopanishad program at Visnu-carana Das' home in Hendersonville at 7PM and it was not until 4AM this morning  that our little electric heater had a break. It took 9-hours of constant running for it to bring the cabin back up to standard!

Hare Krsna. Bhadra-vardana Das Brahmacari told us that Prabhupada told the Pujari when he was in Germany that he only had to bath once a day, because of the cold. We adjust.

We have an electric heater in the HOD's cabin and another in the bathroom so it is O.K.

In the galley we wear shoes and a warm coat!

Ha!  Ha!  Hare!

How are you?  We will look at letters. No 'URGENT' ones.

We are pretty caught up on them. We don't do much internet on the weekend. The cellular is free and we have long talks with Anantarupa Das in Boise, Sridhara and Srivasa Pundita Das in San Jose, Dr. Samaresh in Kolkatta and Lokanatha Das in Berkeley!

I guess that's about it. We have 16/35 rounds done. Read 'Prayers by the Personified Vedas' and are cooking sweet-rice for Lord Nrsmhadeva's breakfast.

We will work on Mother Jambavati's book during the next few days. We leave in just one month!  Jung is in good progress. Will proof read two sessions of Dr. Samaresh's book this week. Sanskrit sets are good.

Hare Krsna...  We look at the Bhakti vaibhava, Module Review Notes, now!
