AGTSP    paoho.   We did 2-1/2 hours of wak through the jungle today to get to aremote mountain hill tmple.   Was really great.   But could not write our JTTO instead sent three Museum Papers to Dr. Samaresh.  Talked with him on the phone to India about Sankirtana in Australia.    We are waiting for news from Aus. about how much they can do to organize a LOB symposium with the the Dr and our advice!

One hour class of BhVai and Choseeka devotees, and one hour BhVai Curriculum development.  We are still in Ferrenafe, P'pada ashrama.  Now must run to catch the sunset!   6.05PM

Hare Krsna Maharaj,PAMHO,AGTSP

we have seen your red color casio digital watch you wear generally. We were thinking to gift you a watch with a stopwatch in it, so that you can also keep track how much any activity involves. It may happen your astute self ,may not need it, but we are finding it really helpful esp in our rounds seeing how much time every rounds takes. and other activities. its only $10.
regards,

Hare Krsna Esteemed Maharaj, PAMHO,AGTSP
We got letter from manipu devotees to ur 108-mnp @yahoo.com id. we are not sure of your exact dates of Manipur travel as of now.hope they will become clear. krsna has plans , as living entities has his..your grace asked us some questions.. so we answer them...[they you were aksing nice questions to us -- u r real well wisher]--
 

q1-What is your plan for your Ashrama?--
ans- we dont have plan for asharama. becasue it is joint ashrama with espousa. we can not convince her of vedic standards.. so life is going on... as u told in one lecture varna asrama does not work-- it such gives black smoke only. so we are just chanting and hoping to establish better connection with super soul- vidya vadhu jivnam--and then follow that]. we are not setting any standard for ourself as grhastha. as it will demand things from our wife-- then she will feel that we are forcing her.. so better to avoid all.. better save ourself and let the real benefactor take care of our son and wife..

q2-The PhD is practical thing?
ans-apply calculation of mode of passion mind/intelligence it is very impractical thing frnakly the res problem is not clear neither the future. but this is the only occupation we can get little time in our debilating condition to chant some rounds and contemplate. we are hoping krsna may give some inspiration. we tried to corporate job - but were not able to regulate our life and were getting heavily influenced by rajas-tamas.. so we left it.. thinking we are son of rich man  our prime duty is to be good son- rest he will take care-so we see Supreme Personality of god head as father who will take care of Us and biological derivatives.. we have no other option thant to depend on him. though we know god help those who help themselves. but first help we want is able to increase standard of our sadhana. and rest leave god to take care.

          Got a standard for Japa each day?   Number of rounds?  --
standard is only 16 rounds, with best possible improvement. brother ass is very troubled, so we can not have anything regular.but the quantity 16 is what we strive for.. some times our japa means..[narayana please fix my tyre, some itmes it means please get me out of this mess, some times it is please tell me what to do,, so we have various meditation of our mantra]. we are hoping we get registered in ASA. 4 rules are intact by god's grace.

     Regular program of reading?    
we make sure that we do read the chapter of BHvai class on sat in english. so one chapter one week. everything else is variable some times there is krsna book, sometimes noi.. nothing fixed..try to hear prabhupada lecture.. we understood that book our basis for stupid self like us.so we need to associate with srila prabhupada to stay charged.

Association of local devotees??????????????????
this is rare because we are not able to find place for self in this big Ship by prabhupada in india as of now. chowpatty temple is good. but it is for good established grhastha materially job, home, etc. we dont have none. we are not able to find any one with similar pyscho-physical nature.. so practically we dont have any intimate local association.. but we do have good acquintances with devotee. we do for temple.
frankly we were thinking to learn spanish and get a prof job in peru and help u there. we find our place but it is in land of incas. so lets see what can we do..


please tell guru-parampara and god, we are inventing our ways to serve him, we dont how he wants us to involve in sankirtana yagya..but we are looking forward.
thankinf you American Swami, meeting you is the best thing happened in our life..
waiting to  get briddled>

           hps - ASA ---  AGTSP   paoho.  Manipuri devotes bought ticket Kolkatta to Imphal 6th March and are buying return 22 March.

Report is super.   4 principles and 16 rounds, SB every week!   We can adjust our efforts to help you better and take advantage of your help better since we know this.   Yes, VAD is bad in this age.  As you stick with the 16/4/SB   get up early   then it will become clear as DaiviVAD.   Arjuna engaged in VAD as his Bhakti yoga.    Things will become clear with wife and family.  Adelante!   Do you best on PhD.   Try to have fun with it and make some practical austerity, but again you are right Krsna has to do the VAD work at this point.   We do it at the time of 2nd inistiatioon.

Please accept my humble obeisances teacher

Hare Krsna dear maharaj, master I have a doubt about the soul, in the Gita says that the soul is indivisible and inmobible.
means that when you change your body everything happens in one place?, and in Goloka Vrindavan souls that have been released do not move? or the movement how here and is just an illusion?
please enlighten me with torch master knowledge
haribol maharaj.

Dear GM, PAMHO AGTYH

Hare Krsna This blog is a very busy place for preaching so I will not waste your time.

I miss you and I listen to you almost every day through your lectures. Life here is going on as usual with family maintenance and crawling through spiritual life.

Please take good care of yourself because many of us need you and I hope you slow down like you have been promising for many years. I know your mission is more than I can understand but I hope you can maintain yourself for many more years. Thank you for your mercy.

Yhs Tcsd

                HpS - Jaya Srila Prabhupada!   Well, Mr. Tulasi carana sevita Das, Number Four Son...    Ha!    Ha!     Send some more details of the "family maintenance and crawling through spiritual life".

      How is your marriage, children, land, job, country?

      What is your spiritual life?

Thank you.  We will stay to read your answer!

preguntas de corazón preocupante

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

Hare Krsna Oh Holy Sage!!
You have been delivering many fallen souls in all over the earth. Working day and night just to reach out to more and more people. You are compassionate on others, and strict on yourself. We may have joked with you according to our level. Please forgive us for our grave offences we have done against you.

        HpS - ASA -  AGTSP!!!       You see only the good qualities in people and magnify them. We have also been attached to reading Sherlock Holmes stories in the name of "World Classical Literature".

...we have troubled you a lot over blog, skype and in person. But we may not have capacity to have any other fruitful relation with you. We may be taking advantage of your tolerance , but that is not our intent, but sort of conditioning.

Oh travelling preacher. we write to you in great trouble we have in heart. Please forward this message to Supreme Lord. We live in this kaliyuga were things are detoriating we can feel that our bodliy and mental health is taking toll. we are in grhastjha asrama where we dont have support or reminders of execution of KC. Our mind is un-controlled intelligence is weak. Jaundiced by avidya we dont relish holy name.
 

We are becoming conscious that death is coming closer every second, ulitmately we have to die. We know we can only attain perfection be mercy of lord. Karma-jnana-dhyana-bhakti, 9 stages of bhakti.. all this science esp which tells us stages of perfection.. questions us can we attain them in this life time. what if we dont!!! we have not even begun!! mercy is dependent on our endeavor , we feel we lack that endeavor..

not able to process is concern. but before process comes association. We are so rascal that we are very bad at relations- very low on emotions, we can not maintain relationships. we can not hope you to micromanage... but we are saying all this  to express our momentary seriousness and saneness... hope super soul -- dadati buddhi yogam to us.

our only refuge is holy name, all we can do is chant as much as we can, chant internally or externally work or no work... but dont know how much is practical... we want to write more...but we rest...can you give us some prescription out of your compassion on rascal like us....
regards,
insignificant acquitance.
  Horse Pradhana.

                  HpS - ASA --  AGTSP!!!!    BG 2.41 or so...  Nehabikramo naso sti....  on this path there is no loss or diminuition.   Even the Gopis feel that they are rascals who can't execute real Bhakti. Objectively you are in a difficult situation, but it could be worse. You could be in the West where animal slaughter and multiple "wives" is a common practice. You could have never come in contact with Srila Prabhupada nor his movement nor his other aspirants.  So, thing is to set some goal: eg. on Sunday stop and think, this week I will chant x-number of rounds every day.      Set a practical standard and then do it.  Also, associate like this in a regulated fashion.   Do you think it is not having an effect?           What is your Japa vrata?   For how long?    Tell the whole world!     Be a pioneer!

We are always grateful for your association and determination under such difficult circumstances.
