. . . distribuiting Srila Prabhupads books, having good asociation with other devoties, Maharaja Danwantari,Bhakti Nrsimha Swami,etc. We had a Ratha Yatra in a city called Belo Horizonte 400km north Rio de Janeiro...lots of devoties chanting in Harinama .....Mahadhuti Prabhu,Candramuka Swami, Purusatraya Swami,some god brothers from Peru like Advaita prabu,etc, very hot weather, prasadam maha mantra and book distribution..WAS NECTAR!!!!!  Brazilian citycenz are very respectful with religion ,that is very cool..OOO!! and lots of Cristians fanatics..

We met loads of people serching for Krsna,and we made some programs.....I had many many realizations in Sankirtan,how important is Prabhupads mission for the humanity and what insignificant I am. Day by day I do my best to serve in this mission and I still feel I am not doing nothing. And thinking That I`m not so grateful how I should be....

Now we arrived to Mar Del Plata for Janmastami, meeting all the devoties and working in some alterations of the new Loft..(we are moving on the 1rts of sept)

Thank you Gurudeva!!!! HARE KRISHNA...

Dear Maharaja, Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada! I hope you are doing well. I was reading a few of your DTCs and you have some inflammations on your throat? Well, all I can say is that it must be Krishna's mercy :) just like living in the material world is His mercy even though it sure doesn't seem to be. Alas, our karma is ever astonishing. I am writing an update to my last letter regarding my husband to be. From your response I realized that him and I definitely did not have Krishna in the centre of our relationship. You mentioned that the basis for varna ashrama is Bhagavat dharma. It makes sense 100%. We suffered because we did not seem to have the same aim in life. I wish in the future it can be like that. I do have one concern which I wish you can help me with. You mentioned aso in your response of how it is ideal for girls to marry a "sane" dude. Well he has been gone for three weeks kind of getting some good devotee association and he will be coming back very soon. We had a brief conversation over the phone in where he mentioned that he thinks that the best thing for us is to be apart and engaged at the same time. This seems odd because I don't understand that logic. I guess his real ing is that the place where he will be going is going to give him a better environment to flourish devotionally. But from what I have heard it's not better off than where I am. Im just afraid that he might dwindle in his KC. Maybe for my own selfish reasons I would prefer for him to stay here with me but it might be good for him to go. I thought husband and wife should stay together. Anyways, my plan is already in action. I have found an apartment to live in. Al I have to do is move out next month and start school. I will hopefully work at the temple during school to cover the rent and also still have devotee association. I will see what Krishna's plans will unveil for me in the moths to come. Your aspiring servant, Princess sunshine of the north

HpS - Jaya!       AGTSP   pamho.    I always remeber that Srila Prabhupada says that in the beginning things are a little impersonal.   We are     ABSORBED    in material "personal" variety, so when we take to KC the transcendental form is little difficult to see.   We can really see it through the Deity worship. If we are more advanced we can see it through the potent Sankirtan, how Lord Nityananda is personally helping us.

      So, in the beginning we should be a little bit happy that our family is not in bars in adulterous relations and our Sankirtana is not yet floating in Goloka, but the books are going out and we are meeting nice people.

     Some patience.   But most important is enthuiasm. So try to develop good communication with fiancee, fiancee's mother...   Work on having a fun relationship.  Hari bol!                Some patience.     But work on things.     Then Krsna will make it     OBVIOUS     if we have to go to a different Temple or get another Mother or Father or dog or parrot or fiancee!

sankirtan sin libros

12 years, 8 months ago by brian tellez in Sankirtana / Temple Activity Reports

Reciba mis humildes reverencias Su Santidad

todas las gloris a Srla Prabhupada

Su Santidad Hanumatpresaka Swami  le iformo que el grupo de sankirtan larino ya esta en venezuela, y no hemos podido salir a la calle a dar libros, pues por un arreglo de Krsna andamos todos fundidos en la cocina del restaurande del templo, imaginese q una cantidad de cristianos vegerianos de la nueva estan durante una semana en el hotel avila ( a mitad de cuadra del templo) en un congreso espiritual  y el templo se ha llenado de muchos clientes no se llevan muchos libros pero comen mucho prasadam asi q la energia de sankirtan la he utilizado picando todo tipo de vegetales, jajaja he aprendido a hacer cachoris jajajaja ha sido un nectar experimentando otro modo de sankirtan.

tambien estamos convenciedo muchos jovenes para q asistan al Bhacti sastri ya van 12 venezolados y 5 colombianos y ayer hable con dos universitarios q quieren hacer su tesis de sociologia con los devotos y tamien van a tomar el curso para sumergirse un mes en la filosofia y presentar una buena tesis, me da felicidad es otro modo de hacer sankirtana.

internamente la verdad cada dia me doy cueta q soy un envidioso, me creo el controlador de todas las sircunstancias, se q el mounstro interno q llevo es imposible de controlar sin los debotos por eso intento mantenerme en asociasion constante 0 privacidad, no se si es normal no creo , donde quedo que solo hay q cantar bailar y comer para ser feliz  XD jajajajaja esto es un gran gran reto y aveces aunque estoy con todos los debotos me siento completamente solo y sufro al pensar en el enredo tan grande en el q me meti, eso es lo q realmente soy Su Santidad, pero si aun asi puedo servirle en algo ese es el deceo mas fuerte  que tengo porfavor permitame ser una herramienta en su mision para satisfacer a Prabhupada no tengo nada ni soy bueno para nada pero con sus bendiciones me esforzare lo mas q pueda para hacerlo sonreir :), porfavor digame q puedo hacer para ser un mono de su ejercito como debo actuar, q debo cambiar porque siceramente en este punto ya no se quien soy cierro mis ojos y miles de voces me confunfen no se donde estoy aqui adentro de este cuerpo, el unico sentido es llegar a poder  servirlo porfavor digame como podria hacerlo Su Santidad.

Gourangaaaaa!!!

haribolooo!

DTC (Mo/20)

12 years, 8 months ago by hps in DTC

AGTSP   paoho......    We came to Franklin!     Our sever heart arhythmias stopped after lunch.  Maybe we just had a salt shortage.   Pulse is pretty regular and strong now, but we still have some chest pains on the left side.  Maybe just left overs.

Hari Bol!

Hari Bol!

How much longer do we have?    Do you see signs of leaving soon?   Makes you think what you are doing should have a lasting content to it. You won't get a chance to do it again.

Here is nice letter and our answer from/to Partha sarathi Das.

 
PSD- Pamo agtSP! JAYA!!! Hope your well. Sounds like an amaing program!!! Wish I was there with you. What kind of cake was it? Did monkey and piggy get a piece? Yes the mind brings problems. But Krsna always arranges nice memories at the time of death for his devotees. A friend of mine your godbrother HG Syamlal Pr. has two brain tumors, cannot remember anything but Srila Prabhupada.... so lucky in my opion. Guess this is what we strive for at the time of death, just remember our spiirtual master, and in that way, we are remembering Krsna through His representative.
 
Just gives more impetis for going home this life. Who wants to stay here? More important to bring people with. Funny thing in Brhat Bhagavatamrta, when Gopal Kumar reaches the abode of Maya, the worshipable Deity is Krsna as Mohini Murti..... he is asked if he wants to do puja... and says no, and prays with all his heart... interesting that the last place to stop before Godhead, the worshipable Deity is the Supreme Lord in His form as a women???? What do you think?
 
I know Misra Prabhu, he is wonderful. Sure I can help him if he wants. I am not so advanced, but will try. I thought you were printing our last email exchange to your blog, I didn't see it. If not, you can print this one.
 
Sankirtan is going well, did some Kazak BG's the other night after I gave a short class. Today giving a sankirtan class to 200 Devotees.. pray for me it goes well...
 
Here are 2 nice verses:
“Victory ! Victory ! Victory !

I behold something wonderful: all the inauspiciousness of the living entities is destroyed, no one is going to hell, Yamaraja has no more work to do and the effects of Kali yuga have ceased to exist. This is because all over the world an increasing number of Lord Visnu’s devotees are singing His names while dancing and playing musical instruments.”

Nammalvar, Divya-prabandha, Tiruvaymoli 5.2.1
 
 
 
 
kalyananam nidhanam kali-mala-mathanam pavanam pavananam
patheyam yan mumuksoh sapadi para-pada-praptaye procyamanam
visrama-sthanam ekam kavi-vara-vacasam jivanam saj-jananam
bijam dharma-drumasya prabhavatu bhavatam bhutaye krsna-nama

"May Sri Krsna's blessed name, which is a reservoir of all joy and auspiciousness, the destruction of Kali-yuga's sins, the most purifying of all purifying things, the saint's food as he traverses the path to the spiritual sky, the pleasure-garden where the voices of the greatest saints, philosophers, and poets play, the life of the righteous, and the seed of the tree of religion, bring divine auspiciousness to you all."
 
HpS -- Jaya! AGTSP paho. We were going to post the last letter but got drowned by many things. So we for sure post this one, but if post directly there then we can answer there and is more secure. There are several Marathon winners on the Blog. Of course, most of them speak Spanish but that should be a problem. We got a fire here!
Today we finished updating our Pada-padma Chapter Study Guide for the Bhakti-vaihbava program that is trying to get stared in Houston. Was lot of work with the Study Guides are quite nice now. Useful. The updated version is at: www:jayarama.us/archives/pdp-csg.doc
 
O.K. We go to the Blog and post this!



 

reply to mataji Radha japa prati jalpa dd

12 years, 8 months ago by bhaktanicasio in Other

Hare Krsna,
Please accept my humble obeisances,
All gloies to Srila Prabhupada,

Estimada Radha japa prati jalpa dd, ante todo felicitaciones por su hijo, saludos al gran señor padre Franco de mi parte por favor.
El ayurveda no recomienda el ayuno a madres que estan en periodo de lactancia, en mas la lactancia es un proceso purificatorio en si mismo, el cuerpo eliminara toxinas en la leche, por lo que es muy impotante que ud tenga una dieta bien saludable. Sobre todo deben predominar las preparaciones Kapha, basicamante cerelaes integrales, legumbres y hortalizas ricas en hidratos como papa, calabaza, batata y zanahoria cocidas. es muy importante que consuma frutas y vegetales crudos a diario y un vaso de leche caliente con anis y miel, eso fortalecera su leche y a su niño. DEBE estar bien hidratada, mucha agua tambien.
Considero que la mejor ofrenda que ud puede hacerle a krsna es educar bien a este niño para que se vuelva un gran devotos del señor y asi el podra ayunar hasta la medianoche cada janmastami .
Por favor ud puede escribirme cualquier inquietud o consulta al facebook. nicasio nutricion
Gracias querido Gurudeva por la posibilidad de ocuparme en servicio a los vaisnavas, su misericordia no tiene limites. Su asociacion es mi fuerza.
Su aspirante a sirviente.
Bhakta nicasio.
 

Still here / song (finally!)

12 years, 8 months ago by Raulmontreal in Personal Sadhana Reports

AGTSP

Please accept my humble obeissances

Dear Maharaj

We hope this letter finds you in better health.

   ASA -   AGTSP!!!!!       If you read the DCT today, Su/19th, you will see that your hopes have not been realized.  Brother Ass is with severe heart arhythmias.  Yet we are always, easily becoming Jolly, and these death notices push to do the essentials, which gets us in good Goloka consciosness.  Everything in Goloka es ESSENTIAL!   Thank you!

We are always remembering your inspirational life and asking Lord Hari to keep you strong.  Always in touch through the Kapi Dhvaja.  We spent Jammastami at the ISKON rural community in Maryland,  great, awesome experience.  Playing flute close to the cows, surrounded by trees, doing service, chanting japa etc.  We're in Washington DC for a month visiting family and friends.  Also, we're still trying to get the music for Lord Vishnu recorded which has been hard to accomplish but we take it as a service now, so arrangements from above are keeping things steady although due to our fallen nature, slow.  We were at the Montreal Rathayatra; played flute and danced all the way to His final destination.

ASA - Goloka!!

We hope this will please Him. (we also played for the Radha Krishna deities in Jammastami in MD)   We are getting more focused and steady.  We also found nice association with Bhaktimarga Swami from Toronto who's crossing Canada on a devotional-pilgrim-trek.  [again!] We feel so blessed by the Lord that still wants us.  I'm happy to send you the link to our first demo devotional recording.  We promised to send it first to you and here it is.  (my service to Govinda and all Vaishnavas)  We recorded and played in a song by Janardan Das prabhu in Montreal.  http://youtu.be/vvEHGdM7hMg 

a pilgrim still on the road

Raul

   HpS - ASA - -   We have Peru Kena, Peru little high pitched flute and a harmonica in three different bags.  We have liked flutes since we were very little. It is wandering b'cari's harmonium.  Adjusts the prana, mood for us and others so easy.    We have been chastised for playing off key by one GBC but Tamal-krsna Goswami left his room and walked into the wretched B'cari ashrama where we had just arrived in Houston when we were playing and said that he had heard the playing and he had to stop everything and come see who was playing, it reminded him very much of Visnu-janan Swami, his cousin brother.

    The morning after Janmastami in Canada, Vancouver, everyone was sleeping late, recovering from 5,000 guests and there was a little, little corral right in front of the temple door where two little bull calves had been domiciled as part of the festival.  They were both sitting down chewing their cud and we began to play for them. After a few moments they got up and start to dance and butt each others heads!

   We were in the zoo in Lucknow (as tourists) and started playing our flute. The deer started to run in herd.  An old, old, grey haired chimpanzee came to the edge of his compound and sat and listened. When we stopped he slapped his thighs enthusiastically and swung both arms up two or three times.  So we played some more.

   Several stories.   Flutes are nice. All the cowherd boys have flutes.  Takes about 3-5 minutes for the flute to warm up.  Nice to play the same music with five or even twenty more flutes at the same time, with drums, and Hari Nama!!!!!

           Masculine and Femenine is eternal. Sanskrita Grammar is eternal. Flutes are eternal. Service of Srila Prabhupada is most eternal!
