¡Todas las glorias a Srila Prabhupada!

¡Todas las glorias al movimiento de Sankirtana de Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu! 

Querido Gurumaharaja:

Por favor acepte nuestras respetuosas reverencias.

Muchas gracias por su misericordiosa asociación. 

Siguiendo su instrucción, le escribo para preguntar sobre una información que nos llegó:

"Fechas tentativas de Gurudeva.

14 de noviembre Salida de Nashville a Houston.

13 de enero de 2024 Vyasa-puja en Cuerámaro México, su estancia seria corta, 3 o 5 días máximo.

18 de enero, regreso a USA (60% de posibilidades a Houston y 40% a Nashville).

Después de Gaura purnima 2024 salida de USA a España.

Tres meses en España.

En junio salida a Radha-Kunda, India.

Houston está confirmado, el resto de fechas cuando compre los pasajes estarían confirmados, HARIBOL "

Mensaje enviado por Abhirama prabhu a un grupo de WhatsApp de hermanos espirituales. 

Gurumaharaja está información es aprobada por usted ? 

Es una gran noticia que México tenga posibilidades para su sagrado vapuh, nos alegra muchísimo! 

Sus discípulos de México hemos estado en comunicación estos días evaluando la posibilidad de su visita para mantener armonía en nuestros acuerdos, y justamente hoy aparece está información en otro grupo de hermanos espirituales, es increíble!!

Puede ser nuestros sentidos limitados pero no hemos visto ninguna invitación de prabhu Aravinda en el blog, kapi dvaja, ni Twitter, ha sido una gran sorpresa para nosotros, hemos desconocido totalmente este interés. 

Querido Gurumaharaja usted es el dueño de nuestros corazones, nosotros iremos a donde decida profundamente agradecidos y felices, al mismo tiempo queremos expresar nuestros sentimientos de forma honesta: si existe posibilidades para México, varios de sus discípulos sobre todo los que vivimos en Ciudad de México, estadísticamente es la mayoría, estamos conversando y nos preguntamos si está tentativa de celebración de Vyasa-puja otorgue posibilidad para Ciudad de México por favor, un lugar que también necesita de su misericordia, cercano al aeropuerto y con posibilidades variadas de hospedaje para los visitantes que deseen venir. Como hemos mencionado prabhu Janardana le puede acompañar en su viaje, también podemos buscar un lugar rural cercano. Es una humilde perspectiva considerando varios factores, también puede ser un delirio mental, porsupuesto si Usted considera otro lugar más optimo, seguramente sera el mejor.

En estos días sus discípulos de México tuvimos variados intercambios de reflexiones acerca de sus viajes y salud, abrazamos respetuosamente cada uno.

Realmente nuestra reflexión principal de acuerdo a sus instrucciones debe ser el canto de nuestras 16 rondas y 4 principios regulativos y colaborar con su salud para el eterno Sankirtana de Śrīla Prabhupāda, pero debido a que ha surgido está información nos atrevemos a externar nuestros deseos de una manera directa y con mucho respeto para Usted y a todas las partes. 

Muchas gracias por su infinita paciencia.

Por favor disculpe nuestro atrevimiento.

Vuestra eterna aspirante a sirviente

All glories to Srila Prabhupada!

All glories to the Sankirtana movement of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu!

Dear Gurumaharaja,

Please accept our respectful bows.

Thank you very much for your gracious partnership.

Following your instruction, I am writing to ask about some information that we received:

"Tentative dates of Gurudeva.

November 14 Depart Nashville for Houston.

January 13, 2024 Vyasa-puja in Cuerámaro Mexico, his stay would be short, 3 or 5 days maximum.

January 18, return to the USA (60% chance to Houston and 40% to Nashville).

After Gaura purnima 2024 departure from the USA to Spain.

Three months in Spain.

In June departure to Radha-Kunda, India.

Houston is confirmed, the rest of the dates when I buy the tickets would be confirmed, HARIBOL "

Message sent by Abhirama prabhu to a WhatsApp group of godbrothers.

Gurumaharaja is this information approved by you?

HpS - No, agtSP! 🙂 Some misunderstanding. Think it is pretty clear in the Calendar section of Kapi Dhvaja every fortnight, no?

It is great news that Mexico has possibilities for its sacred vapuh, we are very happy!

Your disciples from Mexico, we have been in communication these days evaluating the possibility of your visit to maintain harmony in our agreements, and just today this information appears in another group of spiritual brothers, it is incredible!!

It may be our limited senses but we have not seen any invitation from Prabhu Aravinda on the Blog, Kapi Dvaja, or Twitter, it has been a big surprise for us, we have been totally unaware of this interest.

HpS/ASA - It is the same for us (HpS) and others (Tom Brown, Buck White). No thoughts now of visiting Cuermara, although it seems like a great place.

Dear Gurumaharaja, you are the owner of our hearts, we will go wherever you decide, deeply grateful and happy, at the same time we want to express our feelings honestly: if there are possibilities for Mexico, several of your disciples, especially those of us who live in Mexico City Statistically it is the majority, we are talking and we wonder if this attempt to celebrate Vyasa-puja grant the possibility of Mexico City please, a place that also needs your mercy, close to the airport and with varied lodging possibilities for visitors who wish to come.

As we have mentioned Prabhu Janardana can accompany you on your journey, we can also look for a nearby rural place. It is a humble perspective considering several factors, it can also be a mental delirium, of course if you consider another place more optimal, it will surely be the best.

In these days, his disciples from Mexico had various exchanges of reflections about their travels and health, we respectfully hugged each one.

Actually our main reflection according to your instructions should be the chanting of our 16 rounds and 4 regulative principles and collaborating with your health for the eternal Sankirtana of Śrīla Prabhupāda, but since this information has emerged we dare to express our wishes for a directly and with great respect for you and all parties.

Thank you very much for your infinite patience.

Please excuse our forwardness.

Your eternal aspiring servant

HpS/ASA - Very nice letter, news. Thank you! I had a short phone conversation with ArtDas couple of days ago and he expressed to me the understanding he expressed above and I said same thing.

No plan now Cueramara.

Right now we have started to get some serious headaches, and even chest pains.

They really seem to be related to how much work we do in management issues. Mode of passion.

Of course devotees work in all the modes as Krsna wants.

Battle of Kuruksetra was not in the mode of goodness, externally, but from Arjuna's perspective it was in Suddha sattva.

Killing Drona and Bhisma was good.

Like cutting the skin to open an infection!

The pain is pleasurable.

So, it is not really possible to plan too much in advance with much certainty.

Looks like we can make it to Texas 19th November, Sunday, but then we should expect maybe two weeks to just get our feet on the ground and get our body rooted in the Holy Dhama, and another few weeks to start working at full speed.

With that we may be able to see if we can make it to Mexico.

Right now I would say like a 35% possibility of we push our body a little.

Nice to travel with Janardana Das.

Of course, we will be on the same hour between Mexico and Houston, and some devotees can come from Mexico with Tamales and take peanut butter and jelly sandwiches back.

Thank you.

Always ready to serve your good selves, according to Krsna's wishes!!

😃

...

I know this post is not going to get published so i will write everything. i want to deliver all truth to Maharaj ji.

HpS - Hare Krsna! Thank you for this "Un Postable" letter. 🙂

We have already responded to your other post in a previous post before we opened this.

Yet, we will look at this and maybe share it with a responsible Grhastha devotee.

"Maharaj ji, sastang dandwat. I am Milan. I previously reached out to you, but my issue was not properly resolved.

You only approved this letter: https://monkeywarrior.com/detail/14403/

HpS - Esteemd Milan, I have read the letter and I think the other post to you indicates the next step in anything we can do to resolve this situation.

We wait for a response to that letter.

Unless I have this attitude: https://vedabase.io/en/library/cc/antya/20/21/. Looking the good qualities in others and not expecting others to see mine, then we can only expected mixed resolution of any problems that we are feeling.

If you we do not become our enemies enemy but always try to serve Krsna and everyone, then we will become happy.

Of course, violence, although never good, is sometimes necessary to defend the weak against the strong, but it must be applied expertly or otherwise there will be be a bad taste afterwards for everyone.

This is what we have heard from Prabhupada, no? It is the lesson for the BG, no?

Thank you!

Haribolo!

.

Hare Krishna, Maharaj ji. I know you are reading my letters. I just wanted to convey to you this message. I wanted to speak to you and got no other option. I let you know regarding the actions of your disciple, XXX, aged XX, from xxx.

You can speak to xxx regarding me.

I have all evidences supporting myself.

I am not lying Maharaj ji.

I just wanted to speak to you.

If you ever wish to speak to me, I have provided my mail id. Hare krishna r... @gmail.com

Bhakta Milan Ray

HpS / ASA - Thank Milan. Our Sannyasa Guru, H. H. B. S. Damodara Swami advised that in forums like this we can talk about general principles, but should now make strong criticisms of specific people. It is like what we would say during the moments together after the Sunday Feast lecture, when we gather around the Vyasa-asana with maybe 12-other devotees to discuss the general topics of the lecture in more detail with the speaker.

Prabhupada called such things, "Open Secrets".

We have received WhatsApp comments on your previous post from our disciple in question and two more devotees.

Of course, as Diksa guru, it is our responsibility to properly investigate criticism that disciples are not following initiation vows.

So it you want to discuss that among a proper group of Grhastha devotees and ourselves then we can see if someone is available.

Of course, there is immediately a problem because it is a bi-lingual situation, but seems Krsna will help us.

If yes, then please send us the email address that you want to use and we will not share it.

Thank you.

Hari Bolo!

HpS - AgtSP.

Paoho.

Thank you, AmD, and Mataji KDD for the WhatsApp background to this report which our disciple MDD asked not to be published.

We read it.

Very glad to receive it and don't know too much what to say.

• He said.
• She said.
• They said.

🐵 ???

...

..... We will send few words to your WhatsApp address.

Basic principle is that these disputes involving ladies and gentlemen should be discussed mostly with help from Grhasthas that they trust.

Can go to Sita Rama Laksmana Hanuman.

All we can give as Sannyasi is that perspective.

General principles.

Public discussion of stuff.

As Diksa guru: Chant 16-enthusiastic rounds daily and follow the four principles strictly.

¡Hare Krsna! Querido Gurudeva, por favor acepte mis humildes reverencias

¡Todas las Glorias sean a nuestro muy poderoso comandante Srila Prabhupada y todas las Glorias a su Trascendental ejercito!

Querido Gurudeva, gracias por diariamente alimentar nuestro entusiasmo, para intentar contribuir en la misión de nuestro misericordioso Acarya. Gracias por mantenernos activos en esta colosal institución.

Oramos porque la energía de su cuerpo sea buena y este recuperándose de las alergias y esperamos que su trabajo en el blog no sea demasiada carga para sus ojos. ¿El clima en su región le permite continuar con sus caminatas vespertinas? Gracias por enseñarnos a mantener el balance en servicio y autocuidado. 🙏

Escribo como parte del equipo de ASA Carnaval, con nuestro reporte de actividades.

Durante esta quincena Sus Sirvientes de ASA Carnaval, estuvimos un poco ocupados y no tenemos mucho que reportar:

*Isvari Radha Mataji, Abhinanda Prabhu y familia se mantienen firmes con las transmisiones de las clases sabatinas, aunque algunas veces experimentamos dificultades técnicas. Gurudeva, en su respuesta a nuestra carta anterior usted dijo que tal vez podría enviarnos los enlaces al terminar las clases, si no es molestia creemos que seria muy bueno.

-Respecto a los proyectos de “Contribuir directamente en la misión de Srila Prabhupada”, tal como usted sugirió:

*Hemos invitado a algunos devotos con cualidades artísticas para realizar videos cortos que ilustren oraciones del Srimad Bhagavatam (Kunti, Gajendra, Etc) Esperamos también poder hacer animaciones con teatro de sombras o títeres. Por su misericordia, varios devotos se han subido al barco, solo que los artistas necesitan un poco de tiempo 😊  

*También estamos convocando a algunos vaisnavas para grabar videos cortos recitando Slokas, principalmente los versos de apoyo para estudiantes Bhakti Sastri. Y a otros para realizar lecturas cortas de pasatiempos de Srila Prabhupada.

*Aún estamos diseñando el proyecto de grabar pasatiempos del Krsna book, en estilo Radio novela.

Todas las propuestas anteriores requieren de tiempo para poder florecer. Vamos con paso lento, pero sin pausa, rogamos sus bendiciones y guía e invitamos a todos los que deseen contribuir de algún modo a comunicarse con nosotros.

OTROS

*Respecto a realizar lecturas de algunos de los libros de Srila Prabhupada. Tenemos conocimiento de que Mahalaksmi Mataji (de España) ha realizado un muy buen trabajo, con la autorización del BBT – España Aquí el enlace https://vrindavani.org/audiolibros

Por otra parte, Gurudeva, hasta ahora que usted ha sugerido el tema, me doy cuenta de lo poco que sé acerca del Sannyasa Dharma, parece que en el fondo tenía la tonta idea de “¡no me concierne!” y por lo tanto cuando leía al respecto, pasaba por ahí de forma superficial. Así que, para beneficio de todos, por favor permítame preguntarle ¿Por qué es relevante para todos, conocer los aspectos del Sannyasa Dharma? Y ¿A quienes podríamos recurrir para estudiar este tema en los significados de Srila Prabhupada?

Por ahora, ese es nuestro pequeño reporte, apreciamos que hay mucho trabajo por hacer, y por su misericordia sin causa nos mantenemos en la lucha. Muchas, muchas, muchas gracias por todo lo que hace por nosotros Gurudeva. 🙇

Siempre a sus órdenes

Su aspirante a discípula

Hare Krishna! Dear Gurudeva, please accept my humble obeisances

All Glories be to our very powerful commander Srila Prabhupada and all Glories to his Transcendental Army!

Dear Gurudeva, thank you for daily feeding our enthusiasm, to try to contribute to the mission of our merciful Acarya. Thank you for keeping us active in this colossal institution.

HpS - Same to you all!!!!

We pray that the energy in his body is good and that he is recovering from allergies and we hope that his work on the Blog will not be too much of a burden on his eyes. Does the weather in your region allow you to continue your evening walks? Thank you for teaching us to maintain balance in service and self-care. 🙏

HpS - We go walking. Yet is not too cold.

Allergy is very less but having fight with headaches, and some chest pains.

Krsna's arrangment, old age, pushing us to prioritize!

Just same for you, no?

I write as part of the ASA Carnaval team, with our activity report.

During this fortnight, Your Servants of ASA Carnival, we were a little busy and we don't have much to report:

*Isvari Radha Mataji, Abhinanda Prabhu and family remain steadfast with the Saturday class broadcasts, although we sometimes experience technical difficulties. Gurudeva, in his response to our previous letter you said that perhaps you could send us the links at the end of classes, if you don't mind we think that would be very good.

HpS - We have tried to access the Class History but it does not work for us! We tried contacting GoTo but could not get past the robot!

We hot notification on Yahoo mail of last recorded class and through that we were able to open the interface, but it was not (!!) good. Still, as you know, we sent what seemed to be the download link to you by WhatsApp. Please write here if it doesn't work.

-Regarding the projects of “Contributing directly to Srila Prabhupada's mission”, as you suggested:

*We have invited some devotees with artistic qualities to make short videos that illustrate prayers from Srimad Bhagavatam (Kunti, Gajendra, Etc.) We also hope to be able to make animations with shadow theater or puppets. By his mercy, several devotees have boarded the boat, it's just that the artists need a little time 😊

HpS - Contacting Jagat-pavitram Das?

*We are also calling on some Vaisnavas to record short videos reciting Slokas, mainly the supporting verses for Bhakti Sastri students. And others to do short readings of Srila Prabhupada's pastimes.

*We are still designing the project of recording pastimes of the Krsna book, in Radio novel style.

All of the above proposals require time to flourish. We go slowly but surely, we ask for your blessings and guidance and we invite everyone who wishes to contribute in some way to contact us.

HpS - Wonderful. Is so nice to just listen to SP's books some times. So, nice.

OTHERS

*Regarding reading some of Srila Prabhupada's books. We are aware that Mahalaksmi Mataji (from Spain) has done a very good job, with the authorization of the BBT – Spain Here is the link https://vrindavani.org/audiolibros

ASA - She is wonderful person. She makes the title "Mataji" equal to the title "Maharaja".

On the other hand, Gurudeva, until now that you have suggested the topic, I realize how little I know about Sannyasa Dharma, it seems that deep down I had the foolish idea of “it does not concern me!” and therefore when he read about it, he passed by it in a superficial way. So, for the benefit of everyone, please allow me to ask you: Why is it relevant for everyone to know the aspects of Sannyasa Dharma? And who could we turn to to study this topic in the meanings of Srila Prabhupada?

HpS - Bhagavata dharma is like the seed, growing plant, Kanishta, Madhyama... Adau sraddha, Sadhu sanga..

Varna ashrama dharma is that psycho social system that protects and accelerates the development of BDh. Like the Seed and Proper Soil.

So, we should all take advantage of B'cari, Grhastha.. Sannyasa. Visnu priya was just as good a Goswami as Lord Chaitanya.

She could not do the formal austerities of Sannyasa, but She dedicated Herself to living and preaching the Yuga dharma.

One grain of rice for each Maha-mantra.

Try to see how much is 1,724 grains of rice.

64-rounds of rice.

I don't know of any Sri dharma extract of SP's books. It is an essential project. Probably two, three big volumes would come out of BG, SB, CC.

In those there are the stories of the renunciation of Gandhari, Kunti, Devahuti et al.

For now, that is our small report, we appreciate that there is a lot of work to do, and by his causeless mercy we remain in the fight. Many, many, many thanks for everything he does for us Gurudeva. 🙇

Always at your service

His would-be disciple

Karuna-Sakti Devi Dasi

ASA Carnival

HpS / ASA - Thank you! In just a few moments we will be in Nabadvipa with Nimai, Gadadhara, Srila Prabhupada et al?

We were just looking, agtSP, at our paper Calendar and then hoping, with some anxiety, to get this information.

We censored the Zoom details because it seems that sometimes demons have been crashing classes where we participate.

Yet, we see there is a nice poster attached with the information!
