Separation

11 years, 11 months ago by Bhakta David II in Personal Sadhana Reports

Hare Krsna Maharaja,

Please accept my humble obeisances.  All glories to Srila Prabhupada.

I know I should wait until your response to my last letter before writing again, but I have more anguish to express.  Though I am trying to try hard for Krsna and to not fall down, which is always just around the corner, I get so depressed thinking of how my spiritual life has not even begun, no matter how hard I am trying right now or in the past.  I feel so helpless, if I were to die tomorrow, I would be lost to Krsna... it is very dangerous.

My last letter might have sounded like I am jealous of initated devotees.  That is not what I meant.  What I mean to express is I am jealous after initiation itself.  How can I love Krsna if my spiritual life has not even begun?  This is the cause of much anguish and depression for me.  How can I bring others to Krsna if my own spiritual life has not started?  How could I help them if I leave my body before I can love Krsna myself?

No matter how much I might cry and try for Krsna, I am still just a rascal and a fool with no link back to Him.  My prayer is that I might live long enough to begin my spiritual life and receive the bhakti lata bija so that someday I might be able to begin to love Krsna...

Hoping to become,
Your servant,
Bhakta David II

            HpS - Jaya!!!    AGTSP...  We talked  a LOT about this in the last letter.  We will look for any more recent response from you.

From the house of Sri Sri Kishore Kishori!!!

Hare Krishna AGTSP, PAMHO
Dear Gurudeva. I still here in Chicago. I'm trapped in this material body, but also I have the shelter of your lotus feet and that gives me hope to go on.
              AGTSP - paoho...  So nice to hear from you.
 
Preach!
  I'm teaching Mrdanga and devotional music to 12 students, some devotees and new ones, there are three Latino children too. Probably they will be come devotees. I'm trying to fulfill the purpose for which the authorities brought me here. Many Latinos cannot read, so it becomes difficult book distribution, but I'm cooking and distributing prasadam and promoting programs that way.
 
Sadhana is so natural, strong and steady.
 
Studies I'm giving BG class in english and it's like a challenge. For SB class one must be sinior before sitting on the vyasasana<img alt="" src="http://www.hps.monkeywarrior.com/sites/all/libraries/ckeditor/plugins/smiley/images/52.gif" title="" />
Parampadam Prabhu is giving BVai course. I'm doing it. SB and Prabhupad's porports are very deep.
 
So ,Sometimes, I cook berfis to Kishore Kishori only when the brahmanas are very very busy. A lot of mercy.<img alt="" src="http://www.hps.monkeywarrior.com/sites/all/libraries/ckeditor/plugins/smiley/images/01.gif" title="" />
I see many Sannyasis and Disciples of SP. I'm learning a lot as devotees organized in this yatra.<img alt="" src="http://www.hps.monkeywarrior.com/sites/all/libraries/ckeditor/plugins/smiley/images/a11.gif" style="font-size: 20px; line-height: 1.6;" title="" />
 
At what time it is better to call you Gurudeva???
 
Well,I hope to hear and serve you before it starts a world tour!
Wherever you tell me, I go. I must to ask to Nityananda Prana permition to travel. Probably when summer ends I hope. I really dont know. But I'll call you Gurudeva!!!
 
your inignificant servent, Etasa-Krsna Das
 
              HpS - AGTSP....  !  Thanks for the news.   Do you have Bhakti-sastri Diploma???   Is best to do that before Bhakti-vaibhava, no?        Your program sounds great...   If you look at the Kapi Dhvaja you can see when we have different programs.  Other times call us as you like!!!  Phone number in Kapi-Dhvaja!!!  Kishor-Kishori Ki Jai!

             HpS - ASA -  AGTSP.  To our understanding they are very simple mountain people. Small nation with lots of indigenous people. Lots of poverty for them. Some Catholic elite for some time but now the common people got control through the elections about 7 years ago and it is going on that way.  Lot of effort to take the wealth from the rich and give it to the poor, in general not a lot of covert corruption.  Simple small very high place with good atmosphere to preach.

AgtSP!!!

Agt Nitay y Gauranga!

Hare Krsna Maharaja!

Pamho.

Soy Bhakta Pablo del Parikrama, de españa.

Espero que se encuentre super bien al recibir mi contestacion.

Le escribo tan rapido en asunto a su ultima carta.

Antes que nada decir que Jayanta se ha portado muy bien conmigo desde el primer momento que el expuse el tema. Pamho.

Creo que Su respuesta es totalmente correcta y opino igual, no me sirve de nada iniciarme si no estoy protegido por Sanga con los devotos. Solo serviria para sumar una caida mas en mi larga lista.

Realmente estoy muy seriamente de corazon focalizado en solucionar esto. Es mi foco principal ahora mismo.

Deseo con ansiedad realizar un servicio devocional profundo.

Espero poder ofrecerle a Sus pies mi solucion, lo antes posible.

Le pido humildemente Sus bendiciones para escapar de maya, y poder rendirme incondicionalmente a la Reina florida y Rey de Vrndavana lo antes posible.

Su intento de sirviente.

Hare Krsna Hare Krsna.

            HpS - ASA -  TlgaSP....  !                Muy bien.   El secreto es cantar Hare Krsna lo mas posible, y buscar un asociacion en ISKCON de Srila Prabhupada donde tiene companeros para realizar servicio pratico.  Puede ser ayudar in Rathayatra, muchas cosas.

fortnight update-4 passionate horse

11 years, 11 months ago by harsh_horse in Sankirtana / Temple Activity Reports

Hare Krsna Maharaj, PAMHO, AGTSP,
how are you all ( Nrsingh Dev, Prahlad Maharaj,TB, UG and  BW).

            HpS - ASA - AGTSP.....    We are chanting HK/HR, what more can we want?? Jaya!


Hope you are all well. and how are feet of  HH HpS?

            HpS/ASA - Brother Ass's have less swelling.

How is the new ashrama?

              ASA - Very nice. Many challenges but very nice and think will get better.

i think Narada Muni will soon visit it and cause a great academic-devotion literature to erupt...
                       ASA - Seems like it may be so. Thank you. We hope we recognize him when he comes and don't offend him..

The report from Mum Beach...
This horse is very passionate... he likes spear, arrows, guns, bullets.
punches, swords.. he likes Nrsngdev, Varahdev.. Bheemsena for ripping  of Dushasan chest...
he behaves passionately with his son.. he punches him, does head bang.
now he realises that he wants more than one chaste wife wants, many sons, he himself wants to be very chaste no extra martial connection (thats not glory).

He likes fourth canto.. canto about Kings..so much passion.

But yet there is tinge of goodness in him, he likes to hear about God a lot, he wants to rip apart all boastfull atheist. likes to be chastised and commanded by sadhus...
what complex character he is.
he is more attracted by Raj-Rsis than ascetics. though eventually he wants to take vanprastha and sannyas also. as all kings do.

he likes to getup early in the morning and do military training like physical running, excercise etc as compared to morning program of chanting or artik.

though he has experience that chanting and artik are much more blissful in morning program.

but alas he has not been trained to be like kings. the biggest problem he has is he is not ready to die to do morning program. he is ready to die for protecting wife, sadhus, theist. he thinks its glorious to die on battle field.
he misses morning program often, even though super soul wakes him up before 430, he still goes to bed saying that he needs rest to rotate his tyre.

he is convinced also, that morning pogram is must. it make u get closer to super soul. but may be his efforts are like "trying to find god, hoping not to find him."

on the other hand minimum 16 rounds for a month, 4 rules (finally did it with help of Mother Urmila).. hopefuly will become  formal aspirant... but now need to move to morning program. as HpS said 1. 16 round 2. four rule 3. morning prog.

horse is not thinking about sankirtana till he fixes his morning program.
HpS is great sankhya expert, can he prescribe any physical/mental medicine to make this passionate horse feel , that better to die for morning program.

secondly what should he do/don't in rest of day so that his next day morning program is not affected, infact is enhanced.

HpS is the only person who reminds him of morning program, rest every body of his associates remind him of fixing tyre..

As you said ksatriya can not function without good guidance..please guide us.. we will feel happy even if u chastise us.

regards,
passionate horse
P.S. Horse did a week long regular morning program when he was with Senor HpS in North East India in 2013..

               HpS - ASA   -   Esteemed Bhakta Horse.   Ur family is all managers, business managers, no???    I think you are getting some view of your Karma, Dharma, because you are more in the mode of goodness. Thanks to Mother Urmilla Devi Dasi, servant of the wife of Laksman...   but in Kali-yuga the Dharma that works is Bhakti-yoga. So, what little I know, and M. Urmilla DD knew more than us, you can't get a clear view on your VAD until you come to the platform of second initiation.   First Sambandha, I am servant of Krsna. That means in Kali-yuga I chant Hare Krsna.  O.K. Parampara says chant Hare Krsna (16-enthusiastic rounds on beads), four principles give the basic human background, then morning program in the mode of goodness fixes our intelligence in the mode of goodness. Now your morning program is in the mode of ignorance, so your intelligence, attitude is influenced by ignoracne and you get all these bad results.

Dance for Lord Nrsmhadeva. If you find it motivating to do exercises in front of His deity, do it. Chant the Gurv-astakam to meditate on Prabhupada.  USE IT to fix your mind so you can contemplate what kind of Guru Visvanatha Cakravarti is recomending.
      Develop techniques and do it.  You will see the benefit in every sphere and then your intelligence will control you mind. Where in NOI does Prabhupada say that mangala arati is required.

Jaya.  Thank you.   Forward to clear intelligence and instruction from the Emperor.
