Hare Krishna Gurumaharaja

Por favor acepte mis humildes reverencias.

Todas la glorias a Srila Prabhupada.

Hace bastante tiempo que no escribo una carta a Usted gurumaharaja. Siempre leo sus emails, blogs, y hablo con hermanos espirituales (Ambarise,  Madhavendra, Vrshabhanu). Este año tuvimos la suerte de hacer juntos mucho servicios y actividades , lo cual mantuvo firme mi Fe en Krsna.

Este año Mitravinda (mi esposa) y yo estuvimos ayudando a Param Padam con el curso de Bhakti-vaibhava On-line. Practicamente todos los sabados del año estuvimos preparando un capitulo del SB canto I. Gracias a esto pudimos leer el SB.

16 rondas 85% bien. Varias veces no llegué a terminarlas en el dia.

Los 4 principios:

-No huevos/carne/pescado etc: 100%.

-No intoxicaciones: 99% bien. (comi chocolate varias veces)

-No juegos de Azar: 100%.

-No Sexo ilicito: 99,7260273973%.

-Mangala arati: 5%. Terrible!!!!<img alt="no" height="23" src="http://hps-d6.monkeywarrior.com/sites/all/libraries/ckeditor/plugins/smiley/images/thumbs_down.png" title="no" width="23" />

Gurumaharaja queria contarle que a finales de Enero Mi esposa y Yo estamos yendo a vivir a Brasil, al norte, con Danvantari Maharaja. Ella (mitravinda dd) es discipula de Maharaja. Y Maharaja nos pidio si podemos ir a ayudarlo con el seminario de Bhakti sastri/Bhakti vaibhava, y con el nuevo instituto llamado "Instituto Jaladuta". Actualmente estamos creando en moodle el curso de Bhakti sastri on-line, y el curso de Bhakti-vaibhava online en portugues. Estamos casi 100% ocupados en ese servicio, con la ayuda de Param padam prabhu. Tambien vamos a tener la bendicion de estar acompañados por Gurusevananda prabhu quien tambien está yendo a vivir al norte de Brasil con Maharaja. Y  tambien vamos a estar asociados con otros devotos que nos van a ayudar con el curso virtual y el curso presencial.

Estamos haciendo un gran cambio en nuestra vida. Vamos a dejar nuestra casa, devotos amigos, familiares, trabajo, idioma, etc. Es un poco doloroso.

Principalmente queremos estar mas ocupados en servicios relacionados con la educación. Poder mejorar el sadhana ya que donde está maharaja Danvantari es una comunidad Hare Krishna. Vamos a tener la bendicion de estar asociados con Maharaja Danvantari todo el año practicamente.

Gurumaharaja hay muchas, muchas, muchas cosas para mejorar en mi vida devocional, mi caracter, mis emociones, mis rondas, etc. Siempre que lo veo a Usted o leo sus cartar me lleno de entusiasmo. Estamos muy felices de sabes que en enero Usted va a estar en Argentina.

Mis reverencias a sus pies de Loto.

paoho.

Here we are in Miraflores, Lima, Peru. Oooof. Fasting 'till noon for Ekadasi. Little stomach-ache and nausaea, but feel the benefit for the body and consciousness.

Everyday is packed with university and temple and individual consulting programs. Internet is pretty good. Yesterday, Abhirama Th. Das arranged discussion and lunch with five BIG, BIG professors.

Our old and recent friends. Very nice progress. Really fixing a strong program when we return on "SCIENCE, PSYCHE AND SPIRITUALITY: The Encounter of Carl Jung and the Mystical Yoga of India".

Of course, our Bhakti-vaibhava essays still need some work. We havn't posted our disciple lists recently. Mail is back to 1 week and 2 days, and we have about twenty annual reports to answer.

Are people receiving our answers????

Today we had full morning program in the Preaching Center. About 50-people for class and then on line class now e-mail, bath, pack drive to Chosica with lunch in Candra-mukhi Devi Dasi's home.

Hare Krsna!!!

Here we are in Miraflores, Lima, Peru. It was a long, long, long hard trip but after 23 hours of work and travel we arrived in Peru and took a litte rest. At 4AM we were up and Mangala arati, Japa, class, individual meeting, nap, meet with Laksmana Das, Nimsar meeting, Japa, Gaura-gadadhara  Devi Dasi meeting, evening program, got modem working, some mango and papaya, new smart phone requieres a soft key to unlock it, so we can't use it in Peru etc.

Interesting.

The only "tool" that works in Kali-yuga is the Maha-mantra. It is so merciful that it will direct us how to use our situationn for serving Krsna.

O.K. Tired. Can't answer mail.

Take rest until Japa Joe.

Hare Krsna / Hare Rama!

Read the KRSNA book.

ANNUAL DISCIPLE REPORT
HpSwami

A G T S P !

Paoho & Best Wishes

This is our, Hanuatpresaka Swami's, Annual Report, Personal Sadhana Report.
We have followed the 4-principles strictly and chanted 16-enthusiastic rounds daily at least. Actually we chant 26 rounds per day so we hope that 16-of those are enthusiastic.

When our mouth was bleeding and our health was devastated from the Museum program in May 2012 we fell down from our standard of 25 or 32 rounds/day to like 16-rounds/day for several weeks, so we have a debt of 352 rounds from that time. We are making them up by chanting 26 rounds per day rather than 25.

Our administrative authourity, GBC secretary, is Tamohara Das.

We are tempted to eat for our body rather than offer everything for Lord Nrsmha-deva's satisfaction.

We watch BBC History documentaries or at the worst Sherlock Holmes things when we are very tired. Maybe Krsna will able to use this study in his service.

We declare that we are not Uttama-adhikari devotees. We do not have lotus feet. More likely pies de lobo, feet of a wolf, a wolf in sheep's clothing, but St. Francis made a wolf into a disciple.

We are pushing to dovetail our attachments in music, theater, toys into Krsna's service.

We are only taking disciples in this perspective. We are Madhyama adhikaris, so we can give help to others to connect better with Srila Prabhupada and we want to take shelter of other Madhyama-adhikari's also to be better connected to Srila Prabhupada, but for us and our disciples, Srila Prabhupada is the Uttama-adhikari association that everyone also must have. This is basically the arrangement that we see that Srila Prabhupada had when he was here.

The last paragraph in the purport to NOI Text Five explains how we understand our position.

We are doing a lot of work to act better as Head of ASA and Diksa-guru in ISKCON. We read all the Annual Reports for last year, but not promptly and could not respond to them all.

Maybe the Report Form will help this year.

O.K. that's our Annual Report.

Oh! Several Grhastha disciples reported occasional or one falldown into illict sex. Yes, this must be overcome. It is natural to follow th 4-principles. As dirty Westernes we will have these dirty thoughts until we die, but if we engage in devotional service we will be able to tolerate them. Also, sexual relations, even with married partner, unless according to Garbadhana-sanskara, us still illict sex, and you are on your own with your reactions then. We can't take responsibility for you before Srila Prabhupada, BUT if you want to get free from this and get back on the path, then we are happy to do our best to function as your Vartmana-prakarshika guru as Suniti was for Dhruva, giving advice how to get back to the standard.

Bogus or Beau Goose!
