Sadhana Report

All   glories  to   Srila Prabhupada

All   glories  to  you dear Gurumaharaja

Please  accept  my  obeisances! ... Some  time  ago  he  did  not  write,  but  long ago  I  feel  a  great  need  for  it. We  are  trying  to  stand   firm  in  our  vows  made  to  you, Prabhupada  and Krishna.  Maintain  at  least  16  rounds  and   4  strict  principles,  but  we  had  some  problems  in our  Sadhana,  brain  disease  recently  has   caused  much  havoc, I  think  I  had  shielded  by  bodily   pain  to  fail  in  my  Sadhana. Once   again  you  have  given  me a  masterful  teaching, because  even  with   fever  and  infection  gives  us  his  merciful  association  through  Japa-Joe ....  Thank  you.

We  continue  with  our  service  in  the  room  with  flowers,  in  ASA  Kids,  and  support  in  what can  a  mother  Asta  Sakhi  and  thus  to  his  beloved   disciples. On  a  recent   visit  you  told  us  that   we  should  teach   children   of   ASA  Kids , Srimad  Bhagavatam, so  in  addition  to  study  on my own,  We  are  studying   Bhakti  vaibhava  in  line   with  Param  Padam prabhu.  The  ASA  Kids  service   has  made  me   very   happy   and   I   learned   a   lot   from   him   every day   that   passes   I   realize   the   great   responsibility   of   this   service, I   feel   more compromised. Participate   in   this   service    Mother  Gopi  Radha   Prabhu   Erick  (My  husband) and  me.

I   was   not   sure   to   write   in   this   way   and   that,  which   involves   other   Vaisnavas   say, but   I   leave   to   your    consideration.

Gurudeva   need   much   of   their   instruction   please.  I  must  tell   you   that   for   months   I have   had   discrepancies   in   service 

                                        . . .

We   was   about   to   leave   the   service   because   all   this   has   affected   even   health.   Mother  did  Asta   Sakhi   recommended   me   one more   try   and   we're   at   it,  but   either   way   please   allow   me   an   audience   with   you   on   your   next   visit   to   Mexico.

Gurumaharaja,  I  apologize   for   the   letter   so   long,   and   for   causing   so   much   trouble ... In   this   life, because   of   my   past   activities   have   had   to   experience   many  of   the   miseries    of   this   world,   I  was   raised   like   an   animal   and   as   such   I   learned   to   behave, I   know   I   am   very   rude. Now   at   the   mercy   of Krishna, I   am   trying   to   improve and   fight    against   this   kind,  not   always   succeed.   It   is   difficult   to   get   rid   of   bad habits   so   ingrained,   but   I'm   trying   to   be   a   better   person   and   only   one   animal.

Thank   you   very   much   for   everything,  dear   Gurudeva.

Your   aspiring   servant

HpS - ASA -   Jaya!     AGTSP   pfanrh.    Pienso es mejor tratar comunicar en Espanol pero solamente utlizando palabras y frases simples. La carta es poco deficil entender en Ingles en detalles, pero esta bien.  Estamos editando muchos detalles.              Idea basica es que no podemos participar en estas desfios detallados sin entender cosas detallados.    Y por la naturaleza del orden Sannyasa no estamos en contacto mucho.       Pero...  si, podemos hablar bien mientras estamos en Mexico   YYYYYY   Podemos hablar de los principios juntos con los devotos.            Eso es mas como tomar apoyo de un Sannyasi: Trata entender los principios basicas  de el y los detalles de los vecinos.   Nos vemos pronto.   Siempre tenemos bueno Amigo...     KRSNA!!!

              todas las glorias  shila praupada
 
             le escribo como usted me dijo, la ultima vez ,que nos vimos en radhadesh
             cuando usted dio iniciasion a jhary bakty y tambien dio casamiento a sananda y badrabardana
             entonces yo le pedi que queria ser su disipulo
 
             yo quiero tomar refugio en usted por su sabiduria y su amor por krisna
              he visto bastantes charlas de usted, en madrid radhadesh , y la granja de españa
              y vivo hace 3 años en el templo de radhadesh
              solo que stube 10 meses en nueva brayamandala estudiando y trabajando
             como me pidio majaraja yadunanda
             tambien usted fue, quien me dio mi certificado de estudios de bakti santri
             seria muy afortunado mantener una relasion con usted
             seria muy inpirador  para mi.
 
            usted me dijo que tenia que darle una carta de recomendasion
             entonces hable, con el presidente, raedania chatanea
 
ASA - HpS  -  Ah!    Mejor en Espanol que el otro carta en Ingles.   "Hrdaya Caitanya".
 
 
            el me dijo ,que devia cantar 6 meses, un mantra con su nombre
 
ASA - HpS - Eso no es claro...
 
 
 
             y una devota de barcelona, que se esta, de aspirante con usted me dijo que
              cuando lo tenga podria empezar, si fuera oportuno
            espero su respuesta
             su sirviente
            bkataluciano
             hare krisna
 
ASA - La ultima parte no esta claro.   Pero la etiqueta es que seguimos todo para 6 meces, Japa, principios, y despues si tenemos carta de recomendacion y relacion con el ISKCON Diksa guru podemos cantar la Pranama mantra de el.
Eso es su pregunta?
Mas detalles en la otro carta!

My name is Lalita Madhava devi dasi, I am daughter of Sankirtan Das and

T
he reason for my mail is to introduce as candidate to be his disciple because despite being devote´s daughter, my spiritual life has been very steady,

now singing from 8 to 10 rounds per day and at night my husband read the Krsna Book or some of the SBhag. regularly attend the Thursday and Sunday at preaches Center has Gadadhara Gosai, however I would like to begin my spiritual growth more formally through you and the books of Srila Prabhupada, I wish stablish spiritual goals and reach them.

Thank you very much for your time!

All Glories to Sri Sri Goura Nitay

All glories to Srila Prabhupada

Dear Guru Maharja.

First time in the blog. Very very bad :´(  I know. Finally, Now, i got your subtle messages in other media.

3 weeks ago, i finally finished university.

ASA - Aaaacha!     AGTSP        Conquerer of the Universe!

Was a real hell. But, formally, now we are journalist and we've a good documental about the troubles with the acces to university by students from public schools.

ASA - !

There are different people interested in our work (One of our two young main players, is vegetarian and likes Krsna Consciousness). Now, after mini vacation in the country, in Santiasco again :) ("asco" in spanish means "disgust" A pun)

There are plans about travels for 2013, but nothing confirmed. Really, now we are trying to find our sadhana, that has been lost for a while. Your inspiration has been very very important for me, the japa joe. Always i need your blessing. I'm realizing that alone, and without your blessing, i do nothing for my spiritual life. I am a little child, in spiritual terms.

On the other hand, devotees are agree that i'm charge of external preaching programs, as i used to. (passion, as always, but a little less).

We know about your health. So, here there is a pertinent adage: "Short but good". The idea is only two programs in every city, Valparaiso y Santiago. And travel to San Pedro, like you suggested to Ananda Vardhana recently. What do you think?

There are different people in the team, Vanamali, Ignacio, Rodrigo.

Respect to Santiago, we have an idea of the interfaith program with the enthusiastic jewish community, again. But, this time, we would be part of the organization. Our friend there, Yosef, is agree. He is an assistant of university professor who is researching the religion in Chile. And now, after our last interfaith meeting, he is including India influences.

The other details in the blog, also?

I'm so happy to have formal communication with you again.

Your aspirant servant

Yogini Ekadasi, 14th june 2012. Santiago, Chile.

HpS - ASA -  Jaya!   Four days ago!    We had to struggle, struggle, struggle, struggle, struggle, struggle to get the Damn Robot to issue even the most simple South American ticket.  At one point it had us leaving from Maimi for Nashville five hours BEFORE we arrived!   Neat trick, no?  Leave before you arrive!

O.K.   We HAVE a ticket from Nashville to Lima on the 7th of October with return on the 7th of December.    Of course, Rama vijaya in Lima. All are invited.
    We were thinking of three weeks in Chile.    Formally we are more based in the North like Gunagrahi Swami is more in the South.    The Phaedo and the Bhagavad gita. Rupa Goswami and the Modern Theater.  We are developing these.    They can all fit into LOB.           The main thing is not Where, When or What, it is Who.   Who wants to hear and chant with us. It may be a passion, but that's O.K.   It can be related to Krsna and then it become hearing and chanting in the mode of goodness.  Then it changes our character FOREVER.

So, concentrate on the audience more than the location or content!        Next we need to get the dates between 7Oct and 7Dec for Chile.    Yes, three weeks CHile, 4 weeks Peru (Bolivia), one week Ecuador (?).      Then next year start to stop traveling much!   Then  d i e  !

Hare Krsna Respected Guru Dev

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

    Refering your letter on 15 June 2012.

    HpS AGTSP!!!   Ha!  Ha!!  Ha.... HOw can it be that you have no one who wants to hear about you?  
   Krsna wants to hea abou yyou.   Mother Yasoda wants to hear about.  They WANT to hear about you,
   you rascal!   (Ha!   Ha!    HAW).  Because they, Krsna, want to play with you!


    Thank you so much Guru Dev for your love & such nice words. Thank you so much for your bless.
    This is one of best letter.

    Guru Maharaj, In company (where i work), some time i feel...people don't like me with 'Sikha'. So
    what you would advise.

your servant,
Girivaradhari-Gopal Das

HpS -  AGTSP   pamho.   Hmmm.   I don't know the exact details.  Sometimes it is nice not to be liked by certain people.   Thieves don't like police.   Vibhisana said that living in Lanka as a devotee of Visnu was like living as a tongue surrounded by sharp teeth!!!  Have to move quickly.

Each situacion is diferent.

For Bhak.  Vedan.  Institute, Science Preacher, Prabhupada said that they could grow hair and wear suit and tie, but they had to use Tilak.

Ask other local devotees who have situation like you!
