    Stanislavskii. i will select services based on intellectual abilities, and will do the service with
    enthusiasm.

    i will send to you the list of services for your validation/opinion, One i finalize for local temple.

    i will inquire about Bhakti-sastri program Calendar etc at temple (Pune) and update you with
    samples of Calendar as soon as possible.  
    
    Sure, Guru Dev, I will start Gayatri after bath, every day. But how many times in a day?!

HpS - Jaya Srila Prabhupada.  No, Gayatri is for me, now, but after a year of regular service, after Hari-nama initiation, then we can talk with Temple Authorities about this Second Initiation for your good self, also.

     Guru Dev, i am very happy to see your calendar allocated for india visit. i will be happy to be with
    you in vrindavan or wherever you ask. Guru Dev, Please let me know your schedule and location in

Hare Krsna Respected Guru Dev,
    Please accept my humble obeisances at your lotus feet.
    All glories to Srila Prabhupada.
    All glories to Guru parampara.

    Guru Dev, as you had advised, I always keep NOI with me and whenever & wherever i get time, I read.
    While i am living life as per NOI I but as you advised, i will start deeply as per NOI III also.

    Local temple association is as usual. Temple visit - 5 days in a week (evening time). Doing fund
    collection seva under guidance of brahamachari. Devoting more time in study.

    Guru Dev, Please advise me for what kind of big responsibility i should go forward or ask to the
     temple authority because i am doing (now a days), small-small seve like prasadam distribution, PPT
     preparation & mail drafting for on-line fund collection (for corporate people), go with bramachari
     for new people cultivation program on week end, some small preaching seva and some time
     counseling for new people (if requested) etc.

    Please advise me so that I will ask temple authority for big responsibility.

    Guru Dev, I am not doing Bhakti sastri course officially but studding BG, Isopnisad, Chatinya
    Chatimarita (studing of Mahaprabhu's Parsad) and NOI. SB not started yet.

    Guru Dev, Bhakti sastri is 4 years course (officially) in Pune. So if you advise i will inquire for next
    registration and start studding.

    Guru Dev, Please let me know your opinion and view. Please correct me wherever i am wrong.

your servant,
Girivaradhari-Gopal Das

HpS - ASA ---   Hare Krsna, Gopal Das . . .      It is noon.   Our eyes hurt from this computer.  Seems we will have to reduce as time goes on.   You can answer 85% of our letters.  Ho!    Ho!    Ho!

BIG SEVA - Super famous director in the history of theater, Constantin Stanislavskii.  Youcan find him on Wikipedia.  He said, "There are not small parts in the play, just small actors".  Is our idea too, no?               We can look for new things by strength of our intellectual abilities, but real thing is to do the service we have with more enthusiasm. utsahan.   Then Krsna will reveal to us more and more the cosmic proportions of what we are doing and we can surrender to them as our courage allows us.

O.K?

The Bhakti-sastri program sounds fine.  You can give us samples of their Calendar etc. so we can use them to develop our programs!

O.K.   (Oll Korrect)    Now bath and Gayatri.   All the correspondences finished.   All the projects going forward.        Reducing the number of projects to more sane level.  Naturally yours will expand!              Any suggestions for our visit to India between mid February and End of April.    About 10-weeks possible, but includes on month for Australia.   Maybe you should go to.

Hare Krshna Maharaja.

AgtSP!
Agt Sri Caitanya y Sri Nityananda!
Pamho Maharaja.
Hare Krsna Maharaja, soy Bhakta Pablo del Parikrama, de España. Espero que se encuentre muy bien en todos los sentidos.
Hace tiempo que no le escribo, pero he podido seguir el Blog, mas o menos.
Estoy cantando las rondas, los principios, mi humilde shadana. Estoy a medio fuego pero estoy planeando intesificar si las condiciones en las que estoy mejoran un poco, pero bien gracias a Krsna.
Tenia ganar de escribirle y contarle que por circunstancias mias personales empeze a realizar algo de asana, pranayama, y meditacion, leyendo enseñanzas del Maestro Iyengar, Yadunandana Swami me lo recomendo, y aunque es Astanga-yoga-Kriya-yoga, es bonito apreciar la compleja ciencia del Yoga, y como el mantra Hare Krsna lo supera, lo complementa y lo derrota.
 
HpS - ASA    -   Jaya!   Pensando en Vd. poco ayer, mucho hoy dia, y aqui esta, Pablo de la Parikrama...    !                   Jaya Sri Krsna!         Si, Senor Iyengar le gusta Srila Prabhupada y Prasadam.  Los devotas llevando mientras estaba en EEUU en viaje de educaccionn.   Si, cada tiene su inclinacion professional.  Uno es cocinero, otro es administrativo, otro es sicologo, otro es guerrero metafisico ...  pienso es bueno para Vd.   Posible puede ser un professor de Iyegar Yoga, no?                 Como esta la Veronica y el Varuna y El Hermano y Los Padre/Madre  y la finca....      Adelante, Sr!    Estamos en Parikrama - Vd, hps.monkeywarrior.com, Yadu Swami, Espiritu Santu....        Pienso visitamos a Radhadesa como Febrero y despues una mez para India, y uno para Australia (una vez en esta vida) y despues volver para fin de Abril, primero de Maya en Espan ya ya!  O.K?????
 
He sentido, por lo menos algo, que no hay mayor misticismo que el mantra Hare Krsna, que es como un " agujero negro " de luz y vida del que nada puede escapar.
He comprendido que los principios y las 16 rondas, junto con el programa espiritual es la senda correcta del aspirante a cualquier meta, ya sea la " perfeccion " o la compañia de Krsna.
Despues de mucho meditar, necesito un circulo social en el que expanderme y sociabilizarme, asi que me parece que voy a buscar en otras escuelas, cristianos, budistas, etc, no soy capaz de relacionarme con ISKCON de momento, lo siento. Me encantaria ir a Peru y ver un nuevo mundo pero mi pequeña economia  y mi incapacidad de apartarme de Varuna de momento no me lo permite.
Con Virginia todo igual, solo intenta hacerme daño en vez de seguir con su vida.
Ojala supiera solucionar los problemas con Virginia y que cada uno siguiera su vida.
Perdone que me extienda mas. Muchisimas gracias por todo. Deseaba tener algo que contarle.
Adios Maharaja, Hare Krsna.
 
De un agujero sin fondo,                                                   From one hole without bottom,
diminuto y masivo,                                                              minute and masive,
salen palmas                                                                           go out slaps
luz y sonidos,                                                                          light and sounds,
rafagas de emociones,                                                       gust of emotions, 
cual velero al viento.                                                          like sailboat on wind.
El diapason del alma,                                                          Soul's diapason,
Hare Krsna,                                                                              Hare Krsna,
Hare Rama,                                                                              Hare Rama,
ya empezo el concierto.                                                     concert just began.
Gitanos cantan,                                                                      Gypsies sing,
un grito desgarrador,                                                          a heart-rending shout,
llenos de polvo                                                                     full of dust
lagrimas y sudor.                                                                  tears and sweat. 
Cantan a Su Señor,                                                               Are singing to Their Lord,
que " como el agua " de Camaron,                               that " like water " of Camaron,
cayo en Sus corazones                                                        falled down in Their hearts 
y les robo el corazon.                                                          and stole Their heart.
!¿ Cuando sere una gota de sudor                                When I will Be one sweat drop
que en este baile cosmico interior                              that in this interior cosmic dance
llene el ambiente de emocion ?¡                                  fill up the ambient with emotion ?¡
Ay, ay, ay, ayyyyy.....                                                          Ay, ay, ay, ayyyyy.....
Destruyeme,                                                                          Destroy me,
hasta que no quede de mi,                                              until will remain of me,
...nada.                                                                                      ...nothing.
Hare, e, e;                                                                                Hare, e, e;
Hare, e, e;                                                                                Hare, e, e;

Hare Krsna Respected Guru Dev,
    Please accept my humble obeisances at your lotus feet.
    All glories to Srila Prabhupada.
    All glories to Guru parampara.

    Guru Dev, i am planning to go to Vrindavan in November 2012 and want to be there for 8-9 days.
    Any advise for me.

your servant,
Girivaradhari-Gopal Das

HpS - ASA   -   Ask again in  October!               Always, live in Vrndavana in your mind.  Local ISKCON temple has Radha and Krsna service, bathing, drssing, cooking????

Hare Krsna Respected Guru Maharaj

Hare Krsna Respected Guru Dev,
    Please accept my humble obeisances at your lotus feet.

           HpS - ASA - We still have to advance from clean feet to lotus feet, but by Acharya-kripa, Srila Prabhupada's mercy, we are progressing!


     All glories to Srila Prabhupada.
    All glories to Guru parampara.

    We know you are not good health wise. We saw your recent photo; you are looking very very tired.
    we will pray to our Lord for your good health.

HpS - Ayurveda analysis seems very correct.  Pita out of place.  In the throat and mouth.  Now much better, but still some problem.    >>>   Change our way of living.    You have same challenges..

     We are in process of fund collection for 'Janamastami 2012'. Study & sadhana is as usual (no change) at my end.

    Question - When 'Vairagya' comes in heart?

    Guru Dev, can we see the world, which comes after material word. I mean, how we can develop the  eye to see the world which comes after material world.

    I have realized, whenever we see things at body level we are always attached. but whenever we are able to see at soul level there is no attachment or attraction. So need an eye to see across the
    material layer.

    So can we not develop that eye, with leaving in this material world? What will be the process to
    start?

your servant,
Girivaradhari-Gopal Das

HpS - ASA -  AGTSP   pamho.    There is no "new news" from Goloka everyday neither.      Everyday just take the cows out and come home for bath and dinner...    Haw!      Haw!      Haw!                  Maybe the devotees in Santa rasa see it like that?     No, Krsna's flower garland is in Santa-rasa.   It sees  soooo  many wonderful changes everyday.     Improvement everyday.

So, we can see Goloka, as we apply NOI 3.    We have to increase our enthusiasm.    It follows as a natual result of the determined Vaidhi bhakti.  Are you applying the suggestions in NOI 3?        Of course, by meditation (Japa) every day and SB every day, how can we not increase our intelligence.  1st canto, 2nd canto...    the lessons are more and more deep!

How is local temple, association?    Do you have big responsibility to influence the consciousness?          Are you doing Bhakti sastri studies with interesting devotees???????                      Next    is second initiation...    then third.....

Hare Krsna Maharaj Dandvat Pranam
AGTSP, PAMHO

Hope your health is better. ..

ASA - AGTSP   paoho.  Brother Ass is a lot better but still inflamation, too much "pitta" in the throat mouth and tongue.  We are working on it.  Austerities.

Lot of development took place in 6 weeks. Last report we wrote when you were in Manipur. We wanted to write but always delayed to get better mind set and write in a theme. While writing we are not again able to synthesize thoughts and present in sequential or connected manner.. but still we write, we can not delay things till eternity...

1. We[ wife and me] had 90 minute skype call with Anantrupa Pr he gave us some pointers to implement. We also met Sri Hari Pr in delhi for 90 minutes he gave us attitude which we should have. 

2.our wife has concluded that its too much for her to , take care of child,house chores,do thesis and do spi activites [ in decreasing priority as we understand]. The Spi activites were actually recommendation of Anant Rupa pr. However due to our eventual stupid behaviour, she has deleted spi activities from her list and become agnostic. Special contribution is of scientific theories which we read in high school on which she support herself.

3. her aim is Mode of goodnes.. she believes one can become good without god. we were not able to give her convincing answer of question : what is diff between well behaved atheist and mis behaving theist like ourself... she is not against our practice... but is sort of neutral

4. we understand the fault is ourself that we can not follow brahmanical behaviour.

5. on sadhana level we dwindled. but kept 4 rules and avg 16 rounds intact. literally no reading, temple, hearing, temple or morning program.

6. our thesis is stuck because inability of our intelligence to separate work and domestic life.

7. we have some questions, we can not recall them most of them, but few are here::
  a. how are tongue which is matter can produce anti mater/ spiritial vibration
 

HpS - ASA - Matter is an energy of Krsna.  It can be used Spiritually or Materially. That is our choice.   Is a gun good or bad?

  b. these days after 5 rounds [ even inattentive] causes unexplainable pain in our head and back of neck.. [we speculate it is due to relief from agitation]

HpS -  Hmmm.  Don't know.  Sounds more like sitting posture...  but better to die doing Japa-nam.

Yes, as you make progress, Mataji will most likely start doing Japa again also. You have to save yourself to save here.

we are sorry to disappoint u again. but we have desire to improve...

regards,
bhakta horse

HpS - Seems your whole family community, hers, yours, are all Ksatriya people.  Determination of continue to death.     But enthusiasm is more important than patience, determination.  Than means going ahead with enlightenment.  That means Lght of the Bhagavata.   So get a habit.     I would recomend Caitanya caritamrta.   Start reading every day before breakfast.  Can't eat until one page done.  Then report back to us.       Honestly seems like you can make good conclusion to this race!!
