Here we go!        3.15AM.    At 5.45AM  we leave for USA.   10.15-12.30PM  Brussells to Newark (New York),    then 7.30-8.30PM   Newark to Nashville,   then drive to Franklin. Take rest about 10PM (=3AM here  > 21.25 hours of travel!!!!)

              Oink!     Oink!             WHOOP!     WHOOP!
Saturday we rest.  (Sunday we rest.... )   ....   How are you?   All the letters answered up to 3-days ago.
The Educational Simposium was really great.  It was about 90% efficient.  Incredible devotees.  We are going to be working with Rama-giri-dhari Das from Bombay on the Ministry of Education Web page with Dina dayal Das.  That is like the back-bone of ISKCON Education.  From there everything else, curriculim developement, PhD Thesis design, teacher and student placement...  all communicate.

            Once people know Krsna, they can love Him.  If you love Krsna you will love everybody,  "aham sarvasya prabhavo..." BG 10.10...

             We will report on our trip 1) Japa,  2) Reading,  3) Maya (In-flight enterntainment, airport fud).....   3) Sankirtana!  Meeting nice people and tell them about Krsna.  Give them books, vedabase.com cards

O.K.    One more round.   10-done, checked in, mail....    Thank you....

Dear Gurudev,
I´m Trivikrama das from chile, and im writing to you because i want to tell you about the relationship that I have now with Bhaktin Valentina Silva, we have de approbation of her parents, but for us the most important approbation is yours, we know each other for a long time as friends.
 
My service is cooking for the deities on Saturdays , for more than 6 months. Valentina’s service was washing the kitchen after Prabhupada’s feast at first, but then because of changes in her classes she is now helping me cooking on Saturdays.
Im working as graphic designer in a company of sport´s graphics like motocross, rally and thing like that.
Valentina is finishing the school, and preparing a test to enter to architecture career.
 
We wait for your response
our sincere obeisances,
Learning to serve,
 
 Trivikrama Das and Valentina Silva
               HpS -  Jaya!    AgtSP....     paoho....    Sounds very nice.   We hope you can know each other and be friends for many more years also, even in your journey back to Krsna!!!...     How is your Sadhana bhakti???  We are just leaving for EEUU!!!

Hare Krsna Guru Maharaj

Hare Krsna Respected Guru Maharaj,
    Please accept my humble obeisances at your lotus feet.

                    HpS - AGTSP!!!         I think we don't have lotus feet yet, after a LOT of austerity we may read the encyclopedia about mundane history rather than the KRSNA book.   Maybe we will have lotus feet soon if we push!!

    All glories to Srila Prabhupada.
    All glories to Guru parampara.

    Guru Dev, Bhakti-sastrai is not started yet, but have started study as your Syllabus for
    Bhakti-sastrai.

    I also searching for your one lecture on "Yogesham vahavyam.....".

    Do you have any archieve of your lectures.

your fallen servant,
Girivaradhari-Gopal Das

                 HpS   -    Maybe there are some at tree from ISKCON Juhu!!!    We are just leaving for airport.    22-hours to Franklin, TN.  Any study partner??

hare krsna maharaj pamho agtsp.
thank you very much for replies to our blog querries.

             HpS - ASA -  AGTSP!!!    Sorry this took five days.  Our daily program here is from 10am - 1.30PM    then back again from 3.30PM to 6PM.  Then in those off hours everything else has to be done.  It is hard work so by the end of the day we have headaches and cant even touch the keyboard, but we saw your letter and we've been waiting to get to.

1. is it fine that we keep on posting pysch research, as contribution to this blog. please see this lecture https://class.coursera.org/intropsych-001/lecture/13... i dont know if u can attend this course or hear some lect. but it is good refresher of pysch. u can download slides, transcripts of lectures etc

2. continuing to point that MS word is an idea.  the intreseting part is that even though it is idea, it is represented by binary language in the to some storage device and transferred. so even software is transmitted through hard ware... every hardware has also some compatibility with range of software only.. it can not work with every software

           HpS - It can also be printed out on paper.   We could start C++ for example and go to Binary.           I "get" and idea?    Where does it come from?   No hardware involved.        We are continuously receiveing ideas, no?  A little perspective and it is obvious that inumerable ideas are coming and we ar accepting or rejecting.

how does it apply to humans...

3. we also see that if you keep an answring such questions on the blog.. then such answer may become basis of book for yourself.

trying to contribute in sankirtana some ways
harsh pradhan
P.S.  Our son plays gopal deity as toy. he holds gopal from neck,lifts him up, kisses on nose then put back.. is such activity offensive to any one? our deity is made of brass

              HpS -  It's O.K.  should teach him that Deity is special.  Needs special treatment. I think he can understand!    More Psycho-letters!

Needing instruction

11 years, 12 months ago by BhaktaAdrian in Personal Sadhana Reports

Hare Krishna,

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

            HpS - ASA -  Jaya!   AGTSP!!!

Maharaja, how are you feeling?
             HpS - ASA - With my fingers, and you?

 

How are your travels?
             HpS - ASA - Heaven, Hell and Earthly Realms

Any inspiring thoughts?
              ASA - If you are going to travel best just to travel back to Goloka!

Things are better here in Utah. I took an enormous dip into material life recently. I became very involved with work and money and for some time was not chanting japa. It is hard to admit. I have had some inspiring dreams that shook me up and made me realize how poorly I was doing, and am now back in a regular flow of 16 rounds.
             ASA - Make a practical calculation of how many rounds you missed and then gradually catch them up?!

I feel strongly that I need formal rules set in place. I cannot manage my spiritual life on my own. I wrote to Sri Hari Prabhu, he always has very nice things to say. I am hoping he will give me bold critisism and clear guidelines to move forward. What critisizm or guidelines would you suggest???
            ASA - You're going to become a demigod in your next life and have good food, great drinks and super sports and the association of many pretty and adoring wives, unless you do this Japa vrata regularly and get initiated in a reasonable amount of time!

I have much more respect for grhastas now than I ever have. It is constantly growing.

We are moving forward with the wedding plans for August 30th here in Spanish Fork, UT. Do you think there is any room in your schedule/travels to come here during that time?
            ASA -  It's not impossible but I don't know!            This is our last night in Europe!  Then we are back in USA after 4-months!!!   Let us stay in touch!!

Your servant,

Bhakta Adrian
              HpS - ASA - It's very nice hearing from you.   Don't lose sight of the goal.  Just keep the Japa going well and let the ups and downs of material life come and go.  Basically you will see the spiritual life automatically makes the best basic adjustment for material results also!              Please write again in a little while with news of the Yatra also!
