S.S. Hanumat Presaka Swami
Pamho
AGTSP
I hope that you be found well and happy in  Krsna Consciousness.  
 
Beloved Maharaja I send you some photos of Radhastami here in Harlingen with my daughters Gopakany and Thakurani and a family friend of my daughter Gopakanya.  
 
My husband is living in Houston doing arrangements for the family, next to my son Kapiduach and daughter Hariprana.  
Excuse me was difficult to visite Houston
 
Maharaja please I have a question, would you clarify it to me please; When arjuna already was disappointed of hes Masters even having  affection for them  He need take to Sri Krsna as his Guru Original, in this manner Arjuna show his rage to face his master darlings by justice.  
 
Draupadi was not protected by her great  teachers alone by Sri Krsna,
 
In this Way the Absolute Truth is showed
 
They are our examples, if they were pure to the point to see Sri Krsna, and even make mistake  in their opinions,  decisions, influenced by the desires and social commitments, then that can be expected for us?  
 
In my experience of Awareness of Krsna, the teachers help us to advance to certain level but then Sri Krsna takes in control because He  is the expert of all the fields of activities, He know all  souls and their RASAS.  Is it like this?  
 
   HpS - ASA - AGTSP There are many Gurus. Dhaumya was the "Kula guru" of the Pandavas, "family Guru", guiding them in all the necessary rituals of religious family life. Srila Prabhupada says "There is practically no difference between the family priest and the spiritual master." (SB 1.9.6-7). Husband is natural Guru for the wife, Mother is natural Guru for the children. Some one is Diksa guru and properly initiates into Parampara Mantra... Drona was the Astra guru, Martial arts Guru for the Pandavas. Bhisma was Guru as Grandfather. So, so many, but some of them are eternal relations. They are transparent via media to Krsna to the Supreme Guru, Lord Balarama. We don't want to surpass them. They are our telescopes to Krsna. We want more and more telescopes to see our only Lord. They only want to be used that way. O.K?
Balarama dances with Gopis trying to show them what it is like to dance, exchange Rasa, with Krsna.
 
 
 
If the RASA  are components  of the soul, they are corrupted in this world by wanted to enjoy separated of Sri Krsna and their rules and regulations. .....  Yes?
 
ASA - Yes. 
 
My question is like a Master has some RASA can guide to another who has other rasas more high?
 
ASA - Certainly. Hanuman was taking Sita to Rama.
 
They are the sins a sample of the perversion of the RASA  or is the material nature, lust, anger,and greed?
 
ASA - Don't understand the exact comparison?? ?   The NOD describes this.  First perversion of our Rasa with Krsna is Avidya, we think we are a part of this world. Then then leads to lust, greed and anger which are sins and these become more complicated and have different reactions over time.  We just need to "ceto darpana marjanam.." attack the root of avidya!
 
Thank You very much for your asociation
Your eternal  servant  
Mahabhava Cintamani dd
 
HpS - Jaya!  Thank you. Was worried not to hear from you for some time.  We we were all worried.

   (((paoho)))

Here we are on the sofa in Nitai-gaurasundara Das house/ashrama in Murfreesboro, Tennesee. Our eyes are straining. We have to reduce our computer use.   So many crazy people and things surround us.  Is it happening for you also. Of course, this is the material whirled and this is Kali-yuga.  Check your watch.

Hare Krsna / Hare Rama!     and even we get some purr-spective!

                  Hare Krsna / Hare Rama  (maybe some body can translate these DTC's into Spanish)

            Got up early today for Japa Joe.   It was a great.  16-nice rounds done, then mangala-arati for Radha Natabara, then 8-more rounds. Then BhVai curriculum developmet. Then off to our NIOS Office. Then designed extensive changes to the CHAOTIC   MED  web-page for Raghupati Prabhu and everyone. Then Call Jet Airways about the Europe-India ticket. It was $3,000 on the Web-Page, but $1,800 on the telephone. Nashvile> Brussels> Kokatta> Brussels> Nashville.

Then ... Bath (still fighting Poison Ivy), then San Franciso 1975 lecture of Srila Prabhupada then (sin) lunch and we watched a 1975 Sherlock Holmes movie on the Youtube! 

We see that the only reason that we do it is that these old British television series films are strict on the 4-principles, they have some intellectual crime mystery stimulation, they are classic, and we are still not yet pure devotees. We take shelter of mental speculation to calm our senses.

Then > nap (up since 1:15AM)  > Worked on our ASA web page with a link to our planned 20,000 business cards that will bring 5,000 new people to ASA > Srila Prabhupada (who doesn't watch Sherlock Holmes movies)...

    ...  It rained cats and dogs and there were tornado warnings all over the place.

Lot of work!          Now we will answer some Blog letters and then go up stairs to the Temple Room with Radha Natabar and have evening Kirtana, Japa and reading and ask them where to get a Krsna conscious substitute for 1975 BBC Sherlock Holmes movies (28 minutes).

   Tommorrow we have to call Dr. Bandyopadhaya and then we can buy the India ticket.  Then the Manipur, Australia, Madrid tickets will fit into that loop. Jaya!            Can you dance?    We are in a trance (even Sherlock Holmes is not askance!)

Nitai - Nimai!

Hare Krishna Guru Maharaj

Acepte por favor mis reverencias

Disculpe Guru Maharaj por no avisarle que iba a retirarme a las 10:45 am de la clase de Bhaktivaibhava, pues no sabía cómo mandar un mensaje por Webex. 

Hace varias semanas me retiré de Sattva porque mis horarios de la universidad me impiden participar en las reuniones semanales y en los programas de prédica. Por misericordia de Krishna, las autoridades de Miraflores me han dado el permiso  de bañar a las deidades y hacer la puja en el templo. Hoy (Domingo) participé en un programa de distribución de prasadam y harinam en la casa de una madre.

Siento que Krishna me está permitiendo asociarme con amigos de mis antiguos servicios para poder aprender más.

Gracias Guru Maharaj por darme inspiración
