Todas las reverencias a srila prabhupada

Por favor querido gurú maharaj  acepte mis mas humildes reverencias

gurú maharaj tengo una duda acerca del mahabharata, cuando los pandavas tienen que pasar el ultimo año de su exilio escondidos sin que  nadie los pueda reconocer de lo contrario volverían al bosque. Mi duda es que, cuando llegan al reino de virata para pasar el ultimo año el ultimo año de su exilio y yudhisthira es aceptado por el rey como su consejero personal como es que nadie reconoce ha yudhisthira si  por ser una persona que nunca había mentido flotaba siempre 10 centímetros sobre el suelo como es que nadie se dio cuenta de ello?

Desearía que me ayude ha despejar esta duda  querido gurú maharaj hare krsna.

         HpS - Jaya.  TlgaSP.  Pfanrh.   Hablamos en INgles.  Utiliza traductor!    Hrdayananda Gos said that Madhvaachary said tha the Mahabharata that we have is corrupted.  The Gita is fine, but the in the other parts things have been added, things have been taken out and things are in the wrong place.

So, we can't be sure about M. Y.  floating as he walked.  Did P'pada discuss this?  Haven't seen it in his books!??

Second, this was Dvapara yuga, and so many people had mystical powers. Asvattama had a jewel that grew from his head like teeth grow in our mouth, right?  So many different people had different  magical abilities. Thus maybe wasn't unique that M.Y. walked off the ground. Others could have done it also.

Jaya!  Hari Bolo!

Mis repetuosas reverencias a Srila Prabhupada¡¡

Mis respetuosas reverencias a usted maharaja¡¡

Aqui en Tacna, me propuse 3 rondas fijas, aunque hago 6 rondas; continuo leendo krishna book, SB, BG, y otros libros; siguo cantando los aratik, pero no a su debida hora, cuando hago todo esto experimento paz en la noche.

Maharaja:

En el SB 1.17.18, Dharma le dice a Pariksit Maharaja '' es muy dificil determinar quien es el malechor.... ya que estamos confundidos con toda clase de filosofos teoricos'' ; entonces ¿en que opinion nos basamos nosotros los Hare Krishna?

             HpS - ASA -  TlgaSP!       No se, pero como yo entiendo, la contaminacion basica es que pensamos podemos entender: Por ciencia, por music, poesia....   No tenemos potencia de entender solo.  Somos moo   moo   chachos pequenos.    90% nuestra conocimiento es basado en ACCEPTAR bien la intelligencia nos envia!                  O, leer bien los libros de Prabhupada regulararmente!

¿porque dice en el krishna book que la mente de las gopis se ''perturba'' cuando oyen la flauta tracedendal de Krishna?

             HpS -  Huh!   Eso es obvio no?   Cuando yo miro helado mi mente pertuba!             Entonces las Gopis piensan de Krsna de una manera muy personal cuando oyen el flauta, piensan como realizar differentes servicios para Krsna, cosas que Lo encantan!

En el krishna book relata que las gopis tenian envidia de los ciervos, ¿existe envidia espiritual?

              HpS - Aparece que si, pero pienso que Ellas solamente anhelen tener esta facilidad que tiene las ciervas.  No quieren matar las ciervas, para eliminar esta competencia.

en el sentido de que dormimos ¿que es el sueño?

               HpS - ASA --  Sueno en la dia, sueno en la noche.  Tenemos ambos, no?   Todo la dia la mente es con cuentas, imagenes, como en la noche.  Pero en noche no hay competencia de imagenes de los sentidos, entonces podemos ser mas involucrados en las ideas, imagines, pensam., etc en la noche.   Despues de sueno (supti) pasamos a  (susupti)  descana profundo.  En esta etapa no hay suenos.

¿se puede cantar y alabar a Jesus y la virgen Maria?

             HpS -  ASA    -     One devotee asked Prabhupada, are the Christians going back to Godead?  P'pada answered, "Yes, if they follow Lord Jesus's instructions".

Devotee - How will they know His instructions?

P'pada - One Priest will tell them.       (I forget who told me this)

               SO,    we SEE  you IN chile Pronto!

Hare Krishna,

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

Bhakta Adrian, Utah, always hanging in there! :)

               ASA - !!!!   !                  !  (!)

With Reb having left again, I find it strange to say that I have been moving forward nicely in spiritual life. (at least compared to how I have been in the past) I am still keeping the same regulated schedule. Work, Gym, Yoga. I am able to chant all my rounds to get my day started.

There have been some major changes in this small temple. Two senior devotees have moved away, leaving only us youth to run the place. I have to say, it has gone beautifully so far. Tracy, the oldest of us, has been named temple president. Two other young men have moved into the temple. We get very little senior association, but somehow we manage to stay inspired. I humbly gave my first "Saturday Feast" speach. I take no credit for whatever good came of it. I didn't prepare very well, but I prayed and prayed that Paramatma would just speak through me. It was successful, but not by my efforts.

I have been put in charge of taking care of the deities!! It is the best part of my day. I wake them, do an offering, then get ready for my day, chanting my japa on my way into town. Then they are the last thing I see as I put them to sleep after I get home. I am feeling so blessed!

I am starting to see this world and myself through different eyes. I truly feel like Radha has bestowed some greatly undeserved mercy upon me. I am also still keeping a weekly update with Sri Hari Prabhu, trying to take my spiritual life more seriously and continue to move forward.

I just want to cry out to the Lord and his devotees for being so kind to me. I feel so fallen, but I am always so blessed by their mercy, and your mercy as well.

RADHE RADHE RADHE RADHE SYAAAMM!!!!!!! :D

Your lowly aspiring Bhakta,

Adrian

            HpS - Jaya!   AgtSP.       So nice to hear from you and news from Utah for all of us.      SO, SO, nice.     Yes, it is better to have a small, but regular Sadhana than being the Bhakti Yo-Yo.     UP_down-UP_down.        Wait for Rebecca.       She may be suffering from temporary insanity, or better yet resetting her life to relating to you as a devotee friend rather than trying to advance to Ghrastha ashrama two years too soon.   O.K.    You are on the path to first iniation!!!

reportandose el x aguilo del sur x mis reverencias gurudev! nos vemos en chile!!

HpS - ASA  -  AgtSP.............     .

Hare Krsna!     !

As per requested...

(This is an excerpt from the book "Appreciating Navadvipa Dhama" by HH Mahanidhi Swami)

The following popular story explains the appearance of the mridanga in Gaura-lilä: Before coming to this world as the Golden Avatära, Lord Krsna said to His flute, “My dear flute, I am descending again to the material world but not in this form. You should stay here with Rädharani to pacify Her. I promised Rädhä that I would not take you with Me.”

On hearing this, the flute began to cry and said, “My dear Lord Krsna, how can You leave me here alone. I have always been by Your side, but now You are neglecting me. What have I done to deserve this?”

Krsnaa replied compassionately that He would bring him along but in a different form. The flute did not mind changing his form, as long as he could remain engaged in Krsna’s personal service. In this way the flute transformed into a mridanga, and descended to this world with Sri Caitanya Mahäprabhu. 

            ASA -  Uncle Gismo:    Hmmmm!    Popular story.       Not very scientific. (But cute... :O})       Lord Caitany doesn't play Kartals of Mrdanga in His lila. Rama has a bow, Krsna has his flute.            Hmmm...   Thank you for the news.   We have some more ideas to send....    Soon!

Todas las glorias a Srila Prabhupada
