DTC - (We/29) 5.48AM

11 years, 8 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>

Prabhupada Ashram in Chiclayo

11 years, 8 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!

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

11 years, 8 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.
