Desde Rosario, argentina.

Hare Krsna Querido Hanumat-Presaka Swami!

Todas las glorias a Srila Prabhupada! acepte mis sinceras reverencias.

Soy Esteban de Rosario, el motivo por el cual le escribo esta carta es para pedirle bendiciones ya que las necesito. No es la primera vez que le escribo, lo he hecho en varias oportunidades . Lo que nunca me quedó claro es si Usted me dió refugio o no, ya que vivo lejos del templo de Buenos aires y no sé como son las formalidades en mi caso.

          HpS - TlgaSP.  pfanrh.   Nececita una Carta de Recomendacion Ser Aspirante Formal del Presidente de ISKCON BsAs.  Si, claro tenemos que comunicar personalmente tambien, pero formalmente esta Carta tambien.  Esta leyendo www.jayarama.us/kd/guru-tattva.txt, nuestra comprehension de Guru?

...Estuve hablando con sus discipulos Devakinandana das ,Jahnava dd y Rati Manjari dd los cuales me alentaron a volver a escribirle y a seguir despertando mi admiracion hacia Usted. Sinceramente quiero tomar iniciacion. Estoy seguro de que Usted es un fiel representante de Srila Prabhupada a quien me gustaria seguir como maestro espiritual.

En cuanto a mi persona, estoy firme en el canto de 16 rondas diarias y los principios regulativos, lectura y distribucion de Prasadam desde hace ya varios años.Tambien en nuestro hogar junto con mi señora esposa mantenemos programas de Kirtan 3 horas los fines de semana con gran exito.        

En conclusion, espero su breve respuesta...anhelando su llegada  para poder servirlo y nutrirme de su sincera devocion.

Mis reverencias

Gouranga!

     HpS - Aparece que Vd esta muy listo... pero necesitamos la Carta para adelantar. Es un Formalidad, pero no sin significado.                                             

Urgente!!!

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.

Gadai Gauranga Das

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. 

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

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

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!

Question urgent

12 years ago by candra108_mukhi in Hot Topics

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
Candramukhi dd

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.

All glories to Sri Sri Gaura Nitai, Srila Prabhupada and You.
 
First of all I wanted to request you do not post this letter; at reading it, You will understand my reasons, but if you think is best publish I understand.
 
I would like to apologize for not writing earlier, I had a hard time to write, things really get tough when you take the commitment seriously Krishna.
 
    HpS - ASA -   AGTSP....   Paoho...  Thank you for your letter. Yes, this Blog is not a good place for dealing with details of administrative challenges. We read your letter and again and again, no thing comes up is that we cannot make a detailed commentary, evaluation unless we know details of the situation. Administration is dealing with the details of devotional service. A Sannyasi or even Brahmana is supposed to be more focused on the general principle of the things.
For example, when a reporter asked Prabhupada if there were problems in his temples, we heard Srila Prabhupada say that this is the material world there are problems everywhere. So as a general principle we should not waste our time trying to make a problem free temple. We should aim for maybe 80% perfection and then focus on all working together in Sankirtana yajna.
To put it another way: Devotional relations come before administrative relations. If we try to see the President, Ministers, as people, our Sankirtana partners, then it will be a lot easier to improve things than if we see them only in administrative roles.
From your letter you seem to have been doing heroic efforts to do that and getting success.
So, yes, send us general desription of the challenges and results and we can post them for informing us all and make our small contribution with our comments also. Yes, takes courage and honesty. In the end Krsna controls the results so always be happy and enjoy Sankirtana and the Sankirtana Party.
