Sri Radha Kund ki jay!

12 years, 6 months ago by sriradhedd in Personal Sadhana Reports

Dear Hanumatpresaka Swami,

Please accept my respectful obeisances,

All glories to Srila Prabhupada!

Hahaha :) I like your sense of humour, Maharaja!
Yes, my story is like a Stephen King novell. But what i wrote it was just a preface of the book, much worse things happened there also :(
Since i got in touch with You i became a different person, i changed a lot. From Your mercy i learnt so many things but i still have to understand a lot.
I don't want to bother You with my mental platform always so i try to not write to You so often. I always start my days with Your blog and i get answer for my non asking questions from Your responses to others.
I hope we can meet in person in Europe next year.

Thank you for everything.

Your servant,

Sri Radhe dd

        HpS - ASA - Jaya!     AGTSP....    paoho.   ....      We are trying to fix the Europe dates in more detail now because they moved the Education Conference half a week later. Seems we will be in Spain for almost one month.   Is very nice there.

Online Education

12 years, 6 months ago by pnd in Sankirtana / Temple Activity Reports, Hot Topics
Hare Krishna Dear Guru Maharaja,
Please accept my humble obeisances.
All glories to Srila Prabhupada.
 
Sometimes I was thinking to cooperate with some nice online education program, so people who come to vedabase.com can take some nice online course. Unfortunately none of the current ISKCON online education programs fit standards I would like to provide.
 
Some time ago I mentioned the idea about online education to Mahendra Prabhu. Few days ago I asked Vidvan Gauranga Prabhu (our local scholar, he was teaching here under guidance of HG Gopiparadhana Prabhu) if he would like to be part of the project. We spoke like 3-4 hours, we looked at how MIT and Udacity are doing and got inspired more and more. The same day when I visited Mahendra and Pandava Prabhus they told me: "We have to start that online education". Then I told them I spoke with Vidvan that day about it, later to find that they independently of us also spent about 3-4 hours with the same :)
 
Our main ideas/concepts so far:
  • Free education (it is against our conviction to charge for education, only those who will want certification will have to pay a fee)
  • Certification for Bhakti-sastri, etc...
  • To establish the highest quality (both in sense of education and technology)
  • All different levels, similar to Khan Academy (www.khanacademy.org). From the most simple basics, through Bhakti-sastri, Bhakti-vaibhava, ...
  • We would like to work in collaboration with ASA / NIOS if possible.
 
On Friday after lunch we all plan to meet and discuss our ideas to see if all of us have a compatible vision and plan further. 
 
If you like the idea of the project, would you like us to join you?
 
Your servant Prahlad Nrsimha Das
                  HpS - ASA/NIOS - AGTSP   paoho.    You can see we are a little slow in answering because of our life style.   That is the kind of partner we would be.     Ha!   Ha!            Yes, of course we would like to join.    We have been doing a lot of work in this area.   One principle is that Gurukula means place of the Guru. So our whole idea of education is very personal. First principle is Association: Student-Teacher, Students-Students.  Then...   we work on Processes in that ambience,    then ...  we are concerned on learning specific content.   Many other things.     At the end of SB 1.6, Suta tells the sages that now he will try to make them experience the instructions he heard from Sukadeva Goswami the same way he experienced. We are trying to communicate a point of view, attitude, consciousness more that facts, no????        How to do that?     Blogs for new readers to associate with other new readers!  ....

maharaja, sadhana y preguntas

12 years, 6 months ago by Bhakta Italo in Personal Sadhana Reports

mis respetuosas reverencias a srila prabhupada¡¡

mis respetuosas reverencias a usted maharaja

Maharaja estoy cantando 3 rondas fijas, pero siguo cantando mas de 3, fijo 4 principios por unos dias, lectura krishna book y otros.

aqui le mando unas preguntas:

¿ es cierto que los pandavas y sus esposas no cambiaron sus cuerpos al momento de su muerte?

      HpS - ASA -  AGTSP   paoho We don't know?   We think it may mean that they didn't have to take another birth, but they are eternal associates of the Lord, so sometimes they may be the Pandavas, and other times some body else.

¿que quiere decir cantar sin ofensas?

        HPS - Hay dies ofensa y tenemos que evitar!

¿es cierto que cuando se tira prasadam al suelo esta no se contamina?

         Es como un diamante. No contimina el diamante pero posible tiene que limpiar de cosas mal connectado.

si el alma deja el cuerpo al momento de la muerte ¿ porque Jesucristo se fue al cielo con su cuerpo material?

     No se.  Hay pasatiempos especficas.

¿ es verdad que si continuamos siguiendo el principio isavasiam(isopanisad), puedo vivir cientos de años

      HpS -  Podemos aspirar. Pero solamente esperamos ir o quedar donde Krsna quiere.

¿ si krishna protege a su devoto porque alguien como aindra prabhu tuvo que morir en un accidente? 

     HpS - La misma razon que Maharaja Parikshit fue maldecido injustamente posible.

Por favor, acepte mis más humildes reverencias. todas la glorias a Srila Prabhuppada.

Estoy muy contento por recivir la instrucción de leer La Luz del Bhaghabatam. Aqui en España no se encuentra ese libro, pero en el templo está viviendo un discípulo suyo (Jharikhanda Goura Das) que lo tiene en formato electrónico y me lo cederá.

No sé que significa la palabra bhakti-sadhadara, que es antes de Bhakti sastri, me lo puede explicar? Gracias!

      HpS - Bhakti sad achara.  Achara es caracter, comportimiento.   Y sad es bueno.  Es nombre de curso de Bhaktas.  Ideas basica de filosofia, cultura, de ISKCON. Por libros puede ser Luz de la Bhagavata, Nectar de la Instruccion y Biographia de Srila PRabhupada y Senor Caitanya.  Pregunta de Nimai y Gundica Prabhus arrelegar un poco associacion buen para leer estas libros.

Desde Barcelona, mis reverencias.   Isaac.
