Todas las Glorias a Srila Prabhupada!!!

Hare Krsna Guru Maharaj, acepte mis reverencias y un coordial saludo, acá le escribo desde el departamento del Cusco - Perú.

Estoy haciendo Sankitan, es bueno, pero estoy teniendo dificultades para levantarme temprano, me estoy levantando entre las 5 am y  5 : 30 am, estoy leyendo muy poco los libros de Srila Prabhupada y en momentos ofendo a mi esposa con palabras duras. En realidad momentos desagradables. 

Por momentos pierdo el gusto por el Sankirtan y eso me llena de tristeza, tengo temores y miedos de dejar el Sankirtan, espero que eso nunca suceda!!!

Guru Maharaj parece que Maya me esta dando duro, lo único que me ayuda a no desanimarme son las 16 rondas y los 4 principios, pero en lo demas no estoy bien.

Espero poder remediar esta situación y mejorar como persona, perdone mi trizte sinceridad.

Hare Krsna Guru Maharaj me despido de usted y nuevamente mis reverencias.

HpS - ASA -  TlgaSP.  pfanrh.  Claro, tiene que pedir desculpas de Mataji, tiene que levantar como Krsna y Prabhupada para Brahma-muhurta, y leer Srimad Bhagavatam. Pero decir que no tiene la luz y no tiene mucho profundidad de muestra de sinceridad es estupido. Encontramos problemas aun en el caracter de Maharaja Bharata momento antes de Prema!    Adelante.  Toma mucho refugio de ejemplo de Srila Prabhupada. El encontro muchos desafios tan fuertes sin poder, apoyo, juventad, NADA, y canta Hare Krsna y continua.

Si, es un gran desafio ya para Vd.   Buena suerte.....   Toma refugio de Srila Prabhupada y todo sus hermanos espiritual sinceros en ISKCON.  No convierte una victima de Maya y permita Ella matar milles de personas no obtener los libros de Prabhupada. 

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

    Jay Guru Dev. Jay Guru Dev.

    We as as usual, no change, no progress. We fill...we static, no progress. Krsna, loves us
    but we are not able to take his love.

    Guru Dev, Caturmssya going to begin from 22 July, so want to perform strong 'vrata',
    so will take fruites for next 4 months, no grains. Will read more and more
    sastras....That's all.

    Time is moving very fast...............gaining nothing. Time laughs on me.

    We are always stuck in Vrandavana....always want to go only Vrandavana. Krsna is
    there only. He goes with his cows and friends very early in the morning in the forest.
    He sleeps in the noon, after meal under tree.
   
    Still waiting for Bhakti-sastrai to start.

    Kindergarten : As usual. No change.

    Jay Guru Dev. Jay Guru Dev.......Jay..Jay Guru Dev.

    Thank you, Guru Dev.

your fallen servant,
Girivaradhari-Gopal Das

          HpS -  AGTSP.   If you read Patraka's face book translation or translate the DTC then you must know the answer.  Jaya.  Now normal health.

Hare Krishna dear Maharaj, been a long time since the last time I wrote... We where talking abour taking refuge, and all that stuff. Finally, I spoke with Prabhu Omkesavaya Das, and we agreed that at its next coming would take refuge formally considering the institution and guru. Now, I am doing service in the kitchen, for festivals Sunday...it's awesome, It is very inspiring, I feel very happy doing that service for devotees of Krishna.

Now, as for my personal life, I ended the relationship I had with Nimai Nityananda Das (JPS).
And for that reason, and others, I was thinking that the best option for me now is moving in into the temple, in that way I can improve my sadhana, and my spiritual life.

¿What do you think about this? Should I? 

                     HpS - ASA -   Ask 3-4 devotees locally who know you and if they say, "Yes", then make a decision to do it for some time, and then don't come and go.

To shorten the letter, I say goodbye. Thank you for reading, excuse my horrible English, 
I hope to one day learn to serve you, SP and Krsna.

Please accept my obeisances!

                      HpS -  O.K.  We hope there are some more letters waiting for us.

Hare Krsna Gurudeva:

AGTSP 

PAOHO 

Hope this meets U in good health ¡¡

Gurudeva today I was chating with a girl and she told me that she feels that being a nun is for looser girls, for girls who did not find anyone so they do not have anything left ...And just join religion a temple or church in order to avoid the loneliness ¡¡¡ Plus she told me that she did not believe in celibacy buuu

I was shocked about her replies I wanted to reply that serve God is a higher taste but she desconnected .. please can U help me with this topic .. She was really convinced of everything she was saying moreover she was kind of trying to say that being "modern" is good 

I am afraid she may influenced some young ladies ¡¡¡¡
Thank U all so much.
Looking forward for your response

HpS - ASA -  Jaya.  AGTSP.  Yes, we are a mostly recovered health. Two days could barely stand-up and just little water and juice, but inside happy.  Then few days to full strength. Then, Dr. Desai caught the same virus..  Ha!   Ha!    Ha!!!

         "Looser girls":  BG 7.21 talks about this so nicely.

C:\Users\swami-hp\Documents\ABC\VedaBase\bg\7\21.htm

Princess Yum Yum is so convinced that she is right because she is really poisoned with evil and ugly greed at the heart. So she won't give it up, so, 7.21, Krsna gives her faith in modern science and a science based life, catching a husband with a big science education etc.

But it is a trip that leads to the test-tubes, and chemical waste at the end, and there is nothing but pina coladas and cigarettes at 55 years old.

Temple is for losers: Yes, two kinds approach Krsna, but they are winners because they approached Krsna not lady's magazines to solve their problem. It is also for smart girls who are curious about religion, its the most interesting idea, and finally the highest class girls, those who know the happiness that the greatest women saints tasted, making God happy. Santa Rosa of Lima, Joan of Arc, Draupadi, Kunti.

He could have been on any dust road in Mexico, in his old small pick up parked under a shady tree.  But we are in urban East Dallas on East Side Avenue on a hot Sunday afternoon.  His name is Polo and he's a mariachi, a Mexican musican.  He is very taken with us for he keeps smiling, his eyes shining bright on his worn tired face.  He graciously accepts Karma la Justica Infallible.  The Maha Mantra brings him great joy and he can not contain his smile.  

We come upon a young Indian couple.  A work crew is renovating their newly purchased home.  They have heard of Radha- Kalachandji Dham but have yet to visit.  A beautiful hard bound Bhagavad Gita now resides in their home.

Twin girls about ten years old are having a great time playing under a sprinkler in their front yard.  They have on matching suits and goggles.  We approach their father in the driveway at his vehicle.  He is interested in Sri Isopanishad and all are fascinated with the changing body picture.  Mom is inside but sends out a nice donation for a book in Spanish.  Everyone receives a mantra card and we have the best time chanting together.  

We decide to move over to the corner market, Mercado Mexico.  Mari is heading to her truck with her husband.  While the men speak I present to her Karma la Justica Infallible, explaining the profound wisdom and relief from material existence it contains.  I complement her on her lovely pink flower earrings telling her how pretty they are, very eastern.  She is flattered and thanks me.  Then she asks " does this have anything to do with Ganesh?"

"Are ya'll across from the laundry mat?", "The church on your right, just before East Grande?" are common questions we get while on sankirtana.  Years of distributing Srila Prabhupada's books and Sri Sri Radha Kalachandji Mandir have had such an influence on this city.

                 HpS -  Wow!    AGTSP    You and Misra Bhagavan Illo have been getting the highest nectar because of your courage.  Courageous gentleman, courageous lady...  How is life in the Temple?   Do you live near??
