All Glory to Srila Prabhupada

Dear Gurudev

GuruPrasad Swami and Madre Radhika asked me to join the steering committee of the temple
I'll be tested by two months,
I think it is a service of great responsibility, so I want you to instruct me about what's appropriate to me.

here I can see lord Jagannath, Radha pranavallabha, Goura Nitay and Nitay Nimaisundar everyday.

I'll be the better example for other about sadhana. Just by your grace I can try. keeping the 16 round daily.

I visit Urupan where there are many devotees the nest weekend thy celebred a big festival on downtown

and visited Aguascalientes here the bhakty vriksa program is testing

and few time I visited Toluca, and Leon just for take asociation of devotees

your servant Aniruddha Krishna Das   HpS

            HpS - Jaya!   You are getting closer and closer to your service in the Spiritual World.      I would just suggest that Vaisnava relations come before administrative relations.  Try to relate to others as devotees before worrying about their postion in the administration., and Kings or Pot washers.... Very nice.    More Letters we answer.  Our news in the DTC!

DTC (PP) - Saturday 1

13 years, 4 months ago by hps in DTC

   AGTSP    paoho.   Oink!   Oink!   Whoop!  Whoop!Here we are in Cuenca.   Ecuador.  It is 2,500 meters (~8,000 feet) in the Andes mountains. We are staying in Yuddhisthira and M. Radharani's house.  Her grandfather was President of Ecuador for 45-minutes. We will explain later maybe.

Trip from Peru was hell and 3-halves.

Don't get us started explaining, but it is true, the Maha-mantra will get you through.

Hari Bolo!   These are the last few days in South America. We are dealing with so many things.   Hare Krsna.    We just chant, Hare Krsna, a lot and let then Gopis pack us up.

Our eyes hurt from Yahoo mail and BhVai CSG writing, yet we will do our Blog work and then some hot-milk and Japa before the evening program with the devotees.  We are here for two nights.

Oooop!  Also, get to call Abhirama and Thandavika Das!

So, I guess that is it. It seems that we will be able to run slower but there is no question of getting a "good rest" in the material world.  That is a hysterical proposition.  We are realizing that.

This a battle with The Black Witch.

We are praying for the mercy of the White Witch!    Hare!

                 Next we are in Tennessee for one month.

Soooooooooooooooo  Nice to talk with you all.  This Blog is where we meet.  O.K.       Send this to the Bing translator and look at the letters!

 = = = =

TlgaSP!  Pfanrh..   Oink! Oink! Whoop! Whoop! Aquí estamos en Cuenca. Ecuador. Es 2.500 metros (~ 8.000 pies) en las montañas de los Andes. Nos estamos quedando en casa de Yuddhisthira y M. Radharani. Su abuelo fue Presidente de Ecuador durante 45 minutos. Explicaremos más adelante tal vez.



 

Viaje de Perú fue infierno y 3 mitades.

No te nos comenzó a explicar, pero es cierto, el Maha-mantra le ayudará a través de todo.

Hari Bolo! Estos son los últimos días en América del Sur. Estamos con muchas cosas. Hare Krishna. Acabamos chant, Hare Krishna, mucho y que luego pastorcillas nos empacar.  [INCREIBLE!!!  bING TRADUCZCO "GOPIS"!]

Nuestros ojos sufren de Yahoo mail y CSG BhVai escribiendo, pero vamos a hacer nuestro trabajo de Blog y, a continuación, caliente-leche y Japa antes el programa de noche con los devotos. Estamos aquí para dos noches.

Oooop! También, haz llamar a Abhirama y Thandavika Das!

Por lo tanto, supongo que eso es todo. Parece que podremos ejecutar más lento pero no se trata de conseguir un "buen descanso" en el mundo material. Es una propuesta histérica. Nos estamos dando cuenta.

Esta una batalla con la bruja negra.

Estamos orando por la misericordia de la Bruja Blanca! !

A continuación nos encontramos en Tennessee durante un mes.

Soooooooooooooooo agradable hablar con todos ustedes. Este Blog es donde nos reunimos. O.K. enviar esto al traductor Bing y mirar las cartas!

obey

13 years, 4 months ago by harsh_horse in Personal Sadhana Reports

Hare krsna Oh Pravijakacharya.

deliverer of the fallen soul.
 

we aspired to get discplined by you, follow you, even though we had such desire we are not able to. our current sadhana is 16/3, once a week mangal arti/one chapter of SB a week. hence we are failing again and again to even become formal aspirant..

We found some thing of related to our condition in SB 1.5.24

Without being self-controlled, without being disciplined and without being fully obedient, no one can become successful in following the instructions of the spiritual master, and without doing so, no one is able to go back to Godhead.

 
To obey spiritual master we need three things [1] self control [2] discipline [3] obedience.. after introspection we understood we have none on practical level , though we have desire to have all ,but again and again we fail. We dont know how much we should depend on the cause less mercy of Guru Parampara.

but is there any way to achieve these three things esp when we are in dark well without any trainer/ authority ? is our understanding correct ?
we are sorry again that we wasted so much of your valuable time , took instruction even though we did not have the 3 mentioned qualities..
 
regards,
harsh
 
        HpS - ASA - We all have superficial and deep attachments. One is attached to sex, another power, another mental speculation, another meat-fish-eggs, another wine,another...   Just keep using your intelligence to expand whatever austerity you are doing... It's that simple - You are on a path where there is no loss or diminuition, but keep making progress in the areas where you are stronger and you will see the other areas diminish, diminish. Make conquering your vices a practical project eg. "I will not eat onion and garlic on Sunday!"

humility lessons

13 years, 4 months ago by harsh_horse in Other

hare krsna maharaj PAMHO, AGTSP,
the background of this letter comes from lessons of Martial book based on biblical teachings recommended by Mother Urmila, Man of Steel and Velvet.

there was lesson of humility- which meant to think ourself as we are..which matches with definition of Jayananda prabhu. We are asking you as we see a very down to earth person in you.. otherewise who will answer trash of letters by  caballo.

We have understood litlle bit effects of presence of humility and absence of humility, but in our present condition in Dark Well , we think first of all we need to understand how does humility applied in practical action

book says---The Savior set a perfect example of humilty. although he was chosen son of god, having no sin and was able to overcome all things. yet he lived among common people and dined with sinners. although his disciples worshipped him, he did not rise above them in attitude of superiority. he demonstrated his humility when he bowed before them and washed their feet.

assuming you know Savior, a Biblical character, how are above actions humility ? if humility means not to think one self low. then how can guru wash feet of disciples .. or sin free man can dine with sinner..

if our understanding is wrong can you, give some highlights/teachings over humility.

regards,
harsh...

            HpS - ASA -  AGTSP   paoh.  Little hard to cross reference from other traditions in detail. Even when we do Hamlet and Arjuna we don't go in great depth and even that takes lots of time and work.  The nectar is in serving Krsna and if we see ourselves as servants of everyone then we get more nectar because we get a chance to help them in their service!

    Kundha.

    I was missing you in Vrindhavan. I had started alone for every thing in Vrindhavan but got
    association of different different Maharaja on the way. Like, I went alone to do Goverdhan
    Parikrama but i got association of H H Indradhumnya Swami Maharaj there, similarly more. but i
    missed you every where.

    I returned with lots of Sankalpa, nothing else.
