Sea Toda Gloria a Sri Sri Gaura Nitay!!!!!!!

Sea Toda Gloria a Srila Prabhupada!!!!!!

Sea Toda Goria a Usted Gurudeva!!!!!!

 Inspirada por leer el blog he decidido informarle sobre mi vida espiritual, no estaba en mis planes hacerlo hoy, pero también tomo esta oprtunidad porque estoy saliendo a distribuir libros toda la semana y realmente llego muy, muy agotada, hoy hace muuuuuuuucho calor en Buenos Aires y decidí tomarme la tarde para ponerme al día con la limpieza en mi hogar y otras tareas personales.

HpS - ASA - TlgaSP!!!   pfanrh.   Muy bien!

... Sigo fija en 16 rondas, sinceramente tengo muchos planes en la cabeza y mi canto no es  tan fuerte como me gustaría pero sigo cantando!!!

ASA - Nos es igual!  Adelante, podemos mejorar mucho.

...hace unas semanas atrás viví una situación de mucho enojo (angry) y decidí no cantar mas rondas....si, es la verdad....el vacío que senti al estar solo unos minutos intentando pensar como sería mi vida sin cantar rondas me asustó tanto que inmediatamente me dije a mi misma que no volvería a pensar nunca mas en dejar de cantar rondas y que le pediría a Krsna mas inteligencia y serenidad para solucionar los problemas que se presentan en mi camino...

ASA -  Grrrrr!   La Brujita interior.

4 principios estrictos...

ASA - No desea ser distinguido y glorificado por sexo opuesto?  Tenemos estos deseos en nuestra corazon y mente tampoco pero son abajo de control y disminuindo....  Cuidado.

Servicio fijo a Sus Señorías Sri Sri Nitay Gaurasundar...y Tulsi devi maharani....néctar!

Lectura, lenta pero firme del Srimad Bhagavatam, todavía en el canto dos, capitulo cinco...mas néctar!

ASA - Sri Brahma uvaca.

...tambien Bhagavad Gita, Krsna Book...me llamó poderosamente la atención en el capitulo introductorio de La Danza Rasa, cuando Prabhupada menciona que las gopis que llevan a cabo este pasatiempo aquí en la tierra son almas condicionadas!!!!   realmente me asombré por este dato y tuve la misericordiosa oportunidad de poder hablar de este tema con Prabhu Mahajan mientras nos visitaba en Buenos Aires. Dudas aclaradas y mucha información trascendental, jaya!!!!

ASA - Sankirtana puede ser danza Rasa-lila...

 Bien, quería contarle que he hablado con las autoridades del yatra de Mar del Plata, Prabhu Mahajan, madre Krsna Priya (recién iniciada por HHGDW)...y quien es la lider del ashrama de madres en este momento Bhaktin Liliana para que de alguna manera pueda terminar mi entrenamiento allí. Después de varias conversaciones y después de habernos quitados distintas dudas de ambas partes, estoy autorizada para pasar un período de dos meses de prueba en el ashrama de madres y si todo sale bien y como le dije antes, terminar mi entrenamiento allí. Viajaría la primer semana de enero y sinceramente estoy muy entusiasmada por participar de la predica y las actividades del yatra marplatense. Por favor envíeme sus bendiciones!!!!!!!!!!!!

ASA - Oink!    Oink!     WHoop!     WHoop!!

Este tema me lleva a preguntarle querido Gurudeva, cuales son los requisitos que se necesitan para tomar segunda iniciación, si mi mente no me engaña y no recuerdo mal, Usted me sugirió tomar segunda iniciación en el año 2014...si estoy en un error le pido discupas. Que puede decirme al respecto??

ASA - Bhakti-sastri de buen devotos. Fijado practicamente en bondad. Limpieza. Punctualidad. Todo de Hari-nama Diksa, pero con mas intensidad.   Fijado en programa matutina....

De a poco voy realizando que la vida es demasiado trascendenatl para seguir especulando...por suerte estoy en un período donde logré trascender un poco mas mis caprichos y delirios de grandeza...todo esto gracias a la misericordiosa asociación de los devotos...los ibros de Srila Prabhupada son el refugio ideal para alguien que realmente quiere matar su ego falso...y el sankirtan (distrubución de libros) también...estas actividades me permiten sonreir un poco mas cada día y me permitieron dejar de ser una tonta nerviosa...ahora solo soy una tonta....jajajaja...

 Querido Gurudeva estoy endeudada eternamente con Usted, no tengo palabras para agradecer tanta misericordia de su parte...Usted es muy atento con nosotros, su aspirantes a sirvientes!!! y eso es impagable en esta vida. No quiero extenderme mas con esta carta, pero quiero que sepa que aqui en Argentina, Usted Siempre es muy muy recordado entre todos, espero que Krsna me permita verlo pronto Guru Maharaja....intentando servirlo de alguna manera, me despido.

Jahnava devi dasi, su sirvienta eterna.

Hare Krsna!!!

ASA - Jaya!    TlgaSP!   Pfanrh.     Somos tratando pasar cual quiere comprehension tenemos de los pies de loto de Srila Prabhupada. Claro hay muchos otros en ISKCON que tambien tiene mas comprehension, pero cada uno tiene algo particular para pasar!      Y despues, bastante pronto dejar esta cuerpo para ir a nuestra proxima destino...   Entonces, quien va a ensenar?   Lista?   Brahmana significa profesora.

Hare Krishna Dear Guru-maharaja.

All glories to Srila Prabhupada.

Please accept my humbles obeisences.

I'm in Buenos Aires. My rounds are going sometimes good and sometimes bad, but I chant every day my 16 rounds. I'm reading the SB at least 1 hour every day, now i'm finishing the 8th canto. At this time I'm not doing mangala arati. Recently I´ve changed my work and I'm trying to adapt to this change. But I know that it's like an excuse. 

I´m going every Saturday to do service for Sri Sri Gaura-Nitay. I find it really sweet. This service really inspire me.

The grhasta life is giving me too many different realizations. Sometimes I'm really frustrated with the material world, and sometime I discover the way to engage my karma and my desires in Krsna's service. It's very hard for me and for other devotees to get good Senior Grhasta association, many of them are burned or without enthusiasm. But I´m lucky to have friends like Madhavendra, Ambarise, my brother Gadadhara gosai and others.

We are thinking on the idea of going to live to the country, but we are not sure yet. We spoke many times about this with Madhavendra and his wife, but still we have fear and insecurity. The great problem is how to get a work and the different things to fulfill our daily necesities. We don't want to act in the mood of passion, we are planning diffrent ways to do this great change and  also to encourage others devotees to do that also. 

Thank you dear gurudev for giving me so much inspiration.

I hope to see you soon.

Su aspirante a sirivente,

Devaki-nandana das.

HpS - ASA - AGTSP!!!!!   Paoho.  Soooooooooo oooo oooo ooo ooooooo  nice to hear from you. Monkey and Piggy were sure that you had left your bodies.    Main thing is to do service, no?  Does Krsna want us to live in the city and do Sankirtana or move to the country and do Sankirtana, or live in the country and travel 30 minutes twice a week to the city to preach, do business?

We can get a good idea of what He wants from us, then the maintenance will follow automatically.

PAMHO     AGTSP...     Dear GM, In Chapter 15 of NOD about Spontaneous Devotional Service, I am wondering if there is another synonym for 'attractive' because I am not clear about how envious and fearful beings can be considered attracted to their object of envy and fear. Is the message in these paragraphs that being envious or fearful can be considered spontaneous attraction, however, they cannot be considered devotion, bhakti?

  Jaya!  -  AGTSP   paoho... Why is this so small?   Robot!    Yes, we are envious of Krsna because He gets all the best food first erc.     So we are attracted in envy.  Duryodhana got all the Ksatriyas together in one place at one time to hurt the Pandavas, Krsna's devotees, Krsna. He was empowered to do this "krsna anu silanam", empowered service to Krsna. He got them all in one place at one time so Krsna could finish off His mission of incarnation quicky, but it wasn't "anukulyena", it was "pratikulyena". First means with a CONSCIOUS intention to please Krsna, the second means wih CONSCIOUS desire to hurt Krsna.  This is "anyabhilasita sunyayam.." NOD 1.1.11.
It's cited in NOI.

The essential verse of the BRS (NOD)

Danurdhara Swami's "Waves of Devotion" gives so much detail with grafics to help understand the NOD, Sceicne of Devotion.

So these are not types of raganuga bhakti?

    HpS - No, this is like Karma-yoga.  Linking your passion to Krsna.

"The gopīs may be considered to be examples of spontaneous love in sensual attraction. The gopīs are young girls, and Kṛṣṇa is a young boy. Superficially it seems that the gopīs are attracted to Kṛṣṇa on grounds of sex. Similarly, King Kaṁsa was attracted to Kṛṣṇa because of fearfulness. Kaṁsa was always fearful of Kṛṣṇa because it had been foretold that his sister's son, Kṛṣṇa, would kill him. Śiśupāla was also always envious of Kṛṣṇa. And the descendants of King Yadu, due to their family relationship with Kṛṣṇa, are always thinking of Him as one of their members. All of these different kinds of devotees have a spontaneous attraction for Kṛṣṇa, in different categories, and they achieve the same desired goal of life. The attraction of the gopīs for Kṛṣṇa and the affection of the members of the Yadu dynasty are both accepted as spontaneous, or rāgānugā. The attraction of Kaṁsa to Kṛṣṇa in fearfulness and the attraction of Śiśupāla in enviousness are not accepted as devotional service, however, because their attitudes are not favorable. Devotional service should be executed only in a favorable frame of mind." YHS tcsd

         HpS - See...  the Gopis and Yadus are distinguished.  Kubja is attracted to Krsna in conjugal love to enjoy with Krsna.  LIke somebody who wants to gratify their lust with Prasadam, but will only take Praletsadam. Prabhupada says that we have to be careful because Krsna associates with this Shakti only some times, but with the service attitude conjugal Sakti, Laksmi, all the time.
But someone like Kubja who is attracted to Krsna as the Supreme candy will advance if She doesn't commit offenses.

Take Prasadam for lust and eventually you will think about Krsna and want to take Prasadam like the Cowherd boys have lunch with Krsna!
 

hare krsna maharaj. pamho, agtsp. how are you.

   HpS - Almost dead!  AGTSP   paoho.  Many letters to answer after Blog is back!  {:O)+

.... how was program in ecuador. what did yiu present there. can u upload socrates y pariksit on archives. ------------ in india a terrorist was hanged. at his last moment he was chanting lord name(may be he can not remember lord). it seems he was convinced what he was doing was for god, he is dieing for god. may be this is offensive chantingg..... so how to avoid offensive chanting. esp third offence disoneying sp master. esp when he gives adcices, suggestions.. are his advices and suggestions are also instruction .... we can not expect guru to micro manage life. but is it possible that devotee can b in illusion that he is following guru and god. regards, caballo

            HpS -  AGTSP!!!!! ! ! ! !       Yes, if we want to think we are following Guru so that we can obtain material gratification then Krsna will cheat us with false inteligence.    We will think, I am an intimate associate of Gurudeva,I deserve special treatement!   Yet Krsna will use this teach us.   We can know when we are sincere.  BG 10.8-9..   Krsna is in our heart, He will tell us.
Everyone is different.   Prabhpada took like 11 years to get initiated formally, no?   He teaches by example.  So it may take some time to control our senses, vanity, anger.  Yet, we should be able to see progress!

All glories to Sri Sri Gouranga Nityananda
All glories to Srila Prabhupada
All glories to Sri Hanumatpresaka Swami

Please accept my most humble obeisance

Hare Krsna Gurudeva, I hope that you are felling stronger and healthier. My name is Ignacio González and I`m from Viña del mar.

            ASA - Jaya!  Ignacio.  We remember you really well.   We are Monkey/Piggy from China!

I want to present you the advances that we have make in the vision and mission of NIMSAR, and also the progress at Bhakti sadacara.This information is in the images, if you want the original file, here is the link:

(report: 4 principles for 2 weeks… 16 rounds 3 years. First program at Cinthya´s house this Sunday)

Your lousy servant

Ignacio

                ASA - AGTSP.....  paoho.... Actually "lousy" means one who has many "lice".   Actually the four principles are natural. Krsna never suggests anything unnatural.  Be enthusiastic. Get free from unnatural libations. Be heathy and natural. Nature will reciprocate!

Aaaagh.  We cant look at the attached grafics until we respond to you letter.    Will do that and then apost and edited version.

HpS - AGTSP   paoho.  We posted them and they are still too small.  And  we don't have time to look at the link!  If we do then we won't finish our BhVai work.  Aaaah!

Send verbal summary of your ideas in the next letter are the link to look at them.
