HpS - ASA -   Jaya!   Jaya!   Sri Caitanya, Jaya Nitya-ananda!          Hare Krsna.  Is very nice to have contact with you these last few weeks.          We looked at the link as suggested and we encountered the direct requirement that we were wondering about. The Mayapur Academy course is for those with second initiation. You haven't taken that yet and it seems to us with our limited knowledge that you have not yet been steady enough in a good position be ready for Second initiation. You seem to be making good progress toward that position and Krsna is more concerned with how we are making progress than with how "advanced " we are.

So, seems that you should go ahead with your service in the Office of Congregational Development and stay in touch with us through this Blog, and then as youi are steady there then you could take second initiation. A course on Bhakti-sastri is what you probably need now, rather than the course on Arcana. O.K?

Hare Krishna Maharaj Please accept our humble obeisances at your lotus feet. All glories to Srila Prabhupada. Happy to see that you are back now. Hope you got the much needed rest and feel better now. Krishna willing, we (my husband and myself) are scheduled to take the formal vows of Harinam to join Srila Prabhupada's family from HH Indradyumna Swami infront of Sri Radha Govinda, Brooklyn temple on June 7th. My spiritual life is nurtured with the torch of knowledge from you. We came to this stage of seeking shelter and accepting vows by the mercy of Srinivasa-Acharya Pr, Sundari Radhika(Sangeetha) and all the Boise, Chicago community. Their spiritual strength is derived by your mercy Maharaj. We are so much indebted to you. The transcendental knowledge and your realizations that you are sharing with us helps us to atleast understand how long we need to go in our spiritual journey. We beg your mercy and blessings to start our spiritual journey and firmly be situated at the lotus feet of Guru, Srila Prabhupada and Krsna. We pray to remain the faithful servants of Srila Prabhupada and all Vaishnavas. Awaiting to serve you sometime in presence of SriKishoreKishori. Your Grateful Aspiring Servants Harsha & Gayathri

HpS - ASA - Jaya!   That's tommorrow!    O.K.   Finally going to matriculate into Srila Prabhupada's University with the goal of getting a PhD from Lord Caitanya.  Jaya!     We hope to hear your steps in the progress.

¡Mis humildes reverencias para usted Guru Maharaj!

Querido Guru

Antes que todo le pido disculpas por no haberle escrito antes, mi nombre es David Leyton M, vivo en Santiago de Chile y trabajo en contabilidad, la última vez que hablamos, (de las pocas veces) fue en el Goura Purnima de Bs As (08-Marzo-2012) y fue mi segunda vez que me acercaba a usted para conocerlo personalmente, desde que estuvo acá en Chile, pero a pesar del tiempo que no le he escrito, me he acordado mucho de usted.

El sábado 19 de Marzo fue mi primera reunión de hermanos espirituales refugiados en sus pies de loto y fue muy linda experiencia, se nota que lo quieren mucho.

Me reporto a usted comentándole que estoy cantando mis 16 rondas todos los días, cumpliendo mis 4 principios, dando servicio en Food for life los dias sabados y asistiendo al curso de Bhaktas del templo los domingos.

Maharaj, me comentaron también que usted está o estubo enfermo, con dolores en el pecho, espero que ya se haya recuperado, le deseo mucha salud, espero que se recupere pronto, ya que usted es una gran personalidad y me gustaría volver a verlo y hablarle.

¡Mis humildes reverencias para usted Guru Maharaj!

Hare krsna

HpS - ASA -  TlgaSP!!!!!    Sr. David Leyton....  Muy bien oir de Vd.   espero bueno communicacion como puedo recordar a Vd!   La consciencia de Krsna es un viaje enterior.   Hay un enfermidad en la riaze de nuestra conciencia y tenemos que curar, eliminar?    El Libro KRSNA cada noche???

Hare Krsna BELOVED GURUDEVA:

AGTSP ¡¡¡ PAOHO  ¡¡¡¡

Thank U very much for your communications on skype, emails etc that keeps my utsahan ¡¡¡

Today I spent the whole bhima ekadasi reading Srimad Bhagavatam, listening classes trying to make my esssay about the TIME

and reading my Caitanya Caritamrta that I got <img alt="" height="18" src="http://www.hps.monkeywarrior.com/sites/all/libraries/ckeditor/plugins/smiley/images/09.gif" title="" width="18" /> ¡¡¡¡

I also did Mangal artik with U jeje I thought that U were on Nashville but then U told me that U were on Atlanta so I put mayapur tv and I saw U there in mangal artik ¡¡¡ JAYA very nice not too many people but really nice ¡¡¡¡ Internet is a very important tool for preaching ¡¡¡ jaya ¡¡¡

It is hard but I am trying to organize more my TIME jeje the time again ¡¡¡¡ umm my idea was not have a fixed day in pujari in wilson and just go in emergencies but that night I had a dream with Gaura Nitay. Nityananda was gone ¡¡ I asked Caitanya where is nitay??? He did not tell me ummm I did not understand that then for one thing or another I was not able to train the new pujaris but on saturday I hope we can start¡¡¡ and also I continue with my idea to do more administrative work in pujari rather than practical service ¡¡¡¡ hope it works

 Fortunatelly I have help Rohini kumar das helps a lot a lot ¡¡¡¡ and new pujaris are coming ¡¡¡ they just need time to learn ¡¡¡ Again time ¡¡¡ jeje

On saturdays I am doing the noon offering in schell is quite simple after I finish my classes who are near schell I go and do the offering take prasadam have some association and then leave and rest is ok ....

I was wondering two things:

1.- U told me that oscar's movies are nice but they need to be known and I told U that maybe my sister can help with that would You like that she helps U??

   ASA - HpS -  I guess first thing.  AGTSP      paoho   Is for her to look at the movies and see what she thinks of them.  Of course, they don't look so good on a small screen.

2.- Can U please show us an example of your essays for this third canto for me the themes are more and more rich and this specially the time ¡¡¡ where can we see your essays???

HpS - ASA - Last year we were Student, Teacher of three groups, Local and International Administrator.    Ooooof.   Impossible but necessary. This year much improved, but as you know we are still recovering from last year. This year I and Srinivasa are not writing any essays. I would say the same should be for Ananga and Rohini. Their Chapter  Study guides, which will be like 100 pages by the end of the year maybe, are our Essays.

I am teaching Bhakti sastri very nice ¡¡¡¡ we are in the LOB  and also it is a possibility to start to teach pada padma to one young lady who wants to take second initiation from JPS and HE is asking now that the candidate must have BS and have been read the 3 first cantos of SB ¡¡¡¡

Sadhana is good ¡¡¡¡

Jaya Srila Prabhupada ¡¡¡

Guruparampara KI JAY ¡¡¡¡

Trying to be useful

ASA -  Oink!    Oink!    Was Ulysess happy after his 1-1/2 hour adventure?   After one day with no food and home he might have had a different view of life...

Dear Gurudeva Maharaj:

Pamho. AgtSP!

Thanks for hanging in there with me on this important topic!  The simpliest explanation I can come up with is that Gaura Purinama is always the last full moon of the  seasonal (tropical) year which ends BEFORE  the first day of Spring (Vernal Equinox) or BEFORE March 20th  (3/20) of the new calendar year;  the new devotional year begins the day after THIS FULL MOON.

The next projected date for Gaura Purnima as per the calendar produced by Iskcon GBC for the end of this year 526 is Mar 27th, 2013,  which is 7 days PAST  the Vernal Equinox (3/20). THIS IS THE PROBLEM IN A NUTSHELL: One third of the dates we have been celebrating as the Lord's birthday (GP) have been AFTER the Spring equinox. This is a clear No No. The correct date  for Gaura Purnima 526 should be Feb 26th 2013.

I really hope this helps helps clarify the problem and the need for change.

Your Humble Servant, Saranga Thakura

Haribolo!

HpS - AGTSP   pamho.   The general idea is a little more clear.   Seems that we are talking about the differences that result from the contrasts with the luna calendar and the solar calendar, no?    For this there is an extra month every few years to put the two in sync.

Have you discussed this with any ISKCON astrologers?   One nice one is Srikara Das [email protected]
