AGTSP PAMHO

Accept my Dandavats Dear Guru Maharaja!!!

In your last visit to chile you mentioned that for 3 or 4 devotees who had Shelter on You but somehow or other they lose (i.e. breakin principles or movin away of sadhu sanga) it would be necessary to write a new commitment. and now they  come back to the process but slowly and My questions are :  Do they be treated as a devotee in Prabhupada´s asraya stage? or in the Guru Asraya Stage???  all my questions are in the Case they want to take a future initiation.

HpS - ASA -  AGTSP   pamho.    In the Upadesamrta etc. Srila Prabhupada makes distinction between Hari-nama Diksa (1st initition) and Gayatri Diksa (2nd initiation).  Everything else, Aspirant, are things created by GBC and individual Gurus.    I only use, and as far as I know officially, the GBC only use Aspirant, which means that one has to be following properly for six months.  Then they can become official Aspirant.  If they follow for six months more they take first initiation.  The designations that you mention are I think ones that Jayapataka Maharaja uses.

Sorry for taking  your Your precious time for this enqueries. And thank you for your advice and Enlightment.

Querido Guru Maharaja por favor acepte mis reverencias a sus pies de Loto!!!

En su ultima visita a Chile, hubieron 3 o 4 devotos que tenias refugio formal en UD. pero de una u otra manera la perdieron para ellos es necesario re tomar los votos otra vez. mis preguntas son:Ellos deben ser considerados como en la etapa Guru Asraya??? o en Prabhupada Asraya??? en el caso de que ellos quieran tomar futura Iniciación de Ud o de otro Guru Iniciador.

Mis disculpas por hacerle erder su tiempo y muchas gracias por su consejo e iluminacion en este tema.

Om Kesavaya Dasa

HpS -  Thank you for your precious time, association in Japa Joe workshop.   What are you doing?   Studying in secular world, becoming a millionaire?  Selling books!

Mis respetuosas reverencias a Srila Prabhupada¡¡¡

Continuo cantando con abuelita en horarios distintos 6 rondas, todavia no puedo controlar mis cuatro principios, siguo con programas de lectura.

Maharaja:

¿porque no se puede comer ajos ni cebollas?

HpS - ASA -    TlgaSP       Tiene que establecer una austeridad para un tiempo. eg voy a seguir los 4 principios fin de semana.  O para una semana...  y lo hace!!!  Despues su mente va a sentir un gusto superior y seguir para mas y mas tiempo.  Son algo natural.  No artificial.

Cebolla etc. tiene un presion bajo.  Pimienta rojo y negro passion.  Y Jangibre,  Bondad.  Arriba!

mi abuelita le comenta; que el alma de su esposo la seguia a diferentes lugares, tres años antes de fallecer, quiere saber si el alma sale de su cuerpo material y se traslada sola, porque dice que el alma de su esposo la llamaba y ella volteaba y no le podia ver, estando el lugares donde habia mucha gente.

Maharaja, soñe con Srila Prabhupada, y me hizo buscar en todo mi sueño un examen, porque si no lo encontraba el no me dejaria, entonces lo encontre con dificultad y se lo di, entonces me dijo ¿porque le dices a Krishna ''contigo para ti''?, que sonaba como una carta de enamorados, y continuo - no sabes que krishna tambien es el que roba los corazones; entonces le respondi - perdoneme pero yo  ingnore que krishna es el ladron de corazones. entonces me dijo aaaa ya, y me desperto.

HpS - Jaya!    Muy muy bien!    Pero aveces los suenos son mesclados nuestras actitudes mundnaso.  COmo luz puro pasando por vidrio azul.  Entonces siempre purficando la concienia por libro KRSNA y japa y los contactos subtiles va a ser mas y mas puros!!!!!

Hare Krishna,

Please accept my most humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada!

Always ups and downs. I feel like I am on a spiritual rollercoaster. Working on patching things up with Reb. I think it is going well. I am constantly working on improving my rounds, staying focused, and making the full morning program. Caru and Vai are such amazing devotees! They are excelent leaders, and give wonderful advice. I am so fortunate.

I had one question. I was reading in the  NOD, where it was talking about doing service to devotees. Lord Siva says that the greatest service is done to the Supreme Lord, but even greater than that is serving the Lord's devotees. So I was asking about this in Bhagavad Gita class, and the responce that I got was that there was actually no greater service performed than by those of the Gopis, and that serving the devotees isn't the most dear to Krishna. I have learned that the Gopi's love for Krishna goes unmatched, but it says right there in black and white that the best service is to Krishna's devotees. It seems like the Gopis mostly performed their loving service towards Krishna directly. So which is superior? Service done in the mood of the Gopis, or service done to the Lord's Devotees??

Your Servant,

Bhakta Adrian

HpS - ASA - We chant Hare Krsna.   We worship Krsna by worshiping the Gopis (Hara) worshipping Krsna, no?      Service to the devotee is higher when it helps us serve Krsna better.   That is what we understand also.    Yes, much more detail of this in NOD.   But Gurv-astakam every morning is respects to Devotee.

Brahma-saṁhitā(5.35):

eko ’py asau racayituṁjagad-aṇḍa-koṭiṁ
yac-chaktir asti jagad-aṇḍa-cayāyad-antaḥ 
aṇḍāntara-stha-paramāṇu-cayāntara-sthaṁ
govindam ādi-puruṣaṁtam ahaṁbhajāmi 
“I worship the primeval Lord, Govinda, who is the original Personality of Godhead. By His partial plenary expansion [Mahā-Viṣṇu], He enters into material nature, and then into each and every universe [as GarbhodakaśāyīViṣṇu], and then [as KṣīrodakaśāyīViṣṇu] into all the elements, including every atom of matter. Such manifestations of cosmic creation are innumerable, both in the universes and in the individual atoms.”
-------------------------------

Dear Guru Maharaja, PAMHO ; AGTSP!

Please can you explain to this dull-head what are the "Such manifestations of cosmic creation".    It is not Visnu-tattva, no? What are these manifestations which are innumerable, and could be found in universes and atoms?

Thank you.
Your servant Namacarya das
 

HpS - ASA -   We also cannot understand Srila Bh. Siddhanta Sarasvati Thakura. So we chant Hare Krsna, Hare Rama, and pray for intelligence from Radha Shyama!     If you get some understanding please tell us!

Is your Govardhana Sila?     Is He naughty?

Hare Krsna !!!

Porfavor acepte mis humildes reverencias !!!

Todas las glorias a Srila Prabhupada !!!

maharaja avaces  no siento deceo de estar mas  en este mundo ,me parece horrible .

ASA - HPS -   Ha!    Ha!     Ha!     TlgaSP    Eso es la comenza.    En la comenza hay un poco impersonalismo.   Pero mas adelante no importa donde estamos si Krsna nos quiere servir all!

y algunas veces los decos que tengo son muy fuertes y quisiera no tenerlos 

quisiera entregar mi alvedrio a krishna, pero no se como orar a Krishna,

si no siento amor ni atraccion por Krishna.

Pero siento un fuerte apego a Srila Prabhupada y a usted ,

por lo cual pido me instrulla como poder orar a Krishna o desarollar un apego por Krishna.

por favr perdone mis ofensas !!!

Hare krishna !!!

Bh. Ramses

HPS - ASA -   Puede leer segunda parte de NOI Texto 8.   Bh Siddhanta Sarasvati presenta un explicacion muy claro en resumen.   Mientras estamos cantando "Hare Krsna" estamos advanzando.

PAMHO

AGTSP

My dear Guruji, please accept my humble obeisances.

HpS - ASA -  Paoho.....   AgtSP!    Thank you for your letter! 

I just want to thank you for your association and of the devotees in Japa Joe. It is very inspiring for me to chant in your association.

I thank Astasakhi and Adi Badri, who were inviting me to participate in Japa Joe.

 I hope your health be better now.

In relation with the words we were trying to rhyme today, Syama, dhama, dharma and Rama, I was playing with them and this is the result

To worship Syama

Hare Krsna Hare Rama

No matter in which dhama

That’s the jiva’s dharma

I want you to know that my sadhana has decreasing these days because my grandson was in the hospital for a week and I could not go to mangala aratik or chant gayatri mantras properly, I was running every day going to Mathura to the hospital and coming back to Radha kunda, then when the kid was out of the hospital, my family and I stayed for some days in Vrndavan cause here is very hot, there I was going to Krsna Balarama Mandir for mangala aratik every day and now, back in Radha-kund I am doing mangala aratik here at home, in our mandir, cause I have to do puja, cook and everything for our takhurjis while my family is back from Vrndavan and I am really exhausted.

 Is it ok if I keep on doing mangala aratik here at home?

I am sending a picture of our deities Radha Giridhari Madana Gopal and Nitai Goura Sundar.

While in Vrndavan, Radha Carana invited a group of devotees to a kirtan partyat her home, it was very beautiful.

Please give me your blessings to keep on chanting hare krsna with more enthusiasm every day.

Your (trying to be humble) servant

HpS - !!!!!      If you eat the leaves on the ground in Vrndavana, its O.K. with us.  Just never leave there and never go to any other forest.  (O.K.  Every corner of our ISKCON temples are Vaikuntha!)    But please don't forget us all. Pray that one day we shall also reach the very difficult to obtain, Sri Vrndavana Dhama.
