Hare Krishna Gurudeva

Please accept my humble obeisances.

All Glories to Srila Prabhupada!!

I apologize for taking so long to share the video I made for my grandmother, Gauri dd. About 6 or 7 years ago she asked me to put her photos together chronologically and add music to them. She chose the songs by herself according to her stage of life.

In order to have a better understanding of the video, I will provide a brief explanation:

TITLE: "LO QUE EL VIENTO SE LLEVÓ" (GONE WITH THE WIND)

The names of 2 videos "Rukmini's Lost Years" and "Life is Beautiful" are shown at the beginning of the video.

Both were my previous and first video edits.

Then, it is pointed out that this film is based on the life of Gumercinda Miranda (my grandmother's civil name).

Next, a list of the most essential characters appears.

And now, the biography of my grandmother starts:

BIOGRAPHY OF GUMERCINDA (GAURI DEVI DASI)

She was born on January 13, 1949 in Ayavirí, a small town in the province of Yauyos (East of Lima).

HpS - Hey, HHR was born January 12, 1948!

During her adolescence she moved to Huancayo (city in the center of Peru) where she studied in one of the best schools in the area.

She was a very applied student. After finishing school, she met Eurlando Chamilco with whom she married and had 3 children. The youngest is my mother Tarangaksi dd (Tania Chamilco). In 1994, Eurlando, in his quest to learn more about yoga and meditation, met ISKCON devotees. He was a key piece for Gumercinda and Tania to also join Krishna Consciousness.

Gumercinda's parents even chanted the Maha Mantra Hare Krishna. The whole family used to organize Namahattas at home and many devotees and friends attended.

However, in 1996 came a great test for Gumercinda. She had to face the separation of her husband and the consequences that it brought to her family. In order to heal herself, she decided to visit her hometown and then travel to Argentina. She settled in Buenos Aires, in the province of San Martín. For almost 2 years she was working as a caregiver for an elderly lady. On one occasion, on Andonaegui street, she met ISKCON devotees again. She used to visit the temple and attend the programs. In 1999, she decided to return to Peru, since Rukmini was about to be born.

HpS - It is very important that ISKCON has centers all over the world. People make advancement by contacting different centers during their spiritual career. We should see our centers as part of this international web. We give help to people but we may not see the fruit, yet we get people who have made progress in another center.

During the following years, she used to attend Chosica, Shell and Wilson temples, and she performed different services like cooking, arranging vases for altars, making garlands, cleaning, sankirtan, etc.

She was also active in Bhakri Vriksha and Namahatta programs. Due to her intense service to Sri Sri Gaura Nitay and Sri Sri Jagannatha, Baladeva and Subhadra, as well as the mercy of H. H. Hanumatpresaka Swami, she formally received Diksha on February 4, 2015, becoming Gauri Devi Dasi. Everyone remembers her for her enthusiasm, sense of humor, charisma, generosity, among other beautiful qualities.

Thank you so much Gurudeva for reading this letter.

Rukmini dd

HpS - Thank you!!! Is this your first movie? Will you make more:

Hare Krsna, Gurudeva,

AGTSP, PAMHO

more esoteric geetings :Lakshmi Narsingh, Gurudeva or Prahlad Narsingh, Gurudeva

HpS had two questions in (post 14214)

1. What will be your literary contribution?

in the current stage of Harsh Pradhan (HP), he feels without being heavily empowered, he might not be able to write anything which might be uplifting to the common man.

he might write bogus scientific papers, contributing to knowledge in mode of ignorance.

moreover, without being in association of scholarly/inspiring devotees he might just be normal person, who chants, eat prasad, make some money, hear some past times and sleeps.

HpS - Abhimanyu could penetrate the Cakra vyuha but did not know how to get out. So he decided that if he just killed the entire Kaurava army there would be nothing left to get out of.

So, just make all the scholarly/inspiring persons around you into devotees and then you will have good association!

HP sees that he is not as sattavic as HpS, Radhika Raman Prabhu or other scholar he has seen.

HpS - If you think like that you are humble. Sri Isaac Newton's first qualification for knowledge.

however muka karoti vacalam, so any thing is possible...

HpS - Yezzzzz! !

so the question to Guruparampara via HpS is

What does Guru Parampara wants HP/haD to write about ?

HpS - Try taking notes about everything funny that happens for one fortnight.

2.Take Sannyasa?

may be , but again here we need Asrama Guru ,

we are not yet firmly integrated with ISKCON.

not sure of married responsibilities

HpS - Point your nose in that direction and start walking.

A Sannyasi can live in ecstacy in Vrndavana.

again-- Panggum Langghayate Girim

may be [email protected] might help to find answers to questions

HpS - Who's address is this?

seeking blessings to become Hayagriva Avatar Das

HpS - 5.27PM going walking with stomach ache, and very very very big eye ache from visiting optometrist.

Hare Krishna Guru Maharaj

Please accept my humble obeisances,

All Glories to Srila Prabhupada,

Thank you for your response. I believe the best course of action is to handle my own image production to avoid issues with ISKCON. Nowadays, artificial intelligence allows for swift execution of this task.

HpS - ISKCON is the institution, friends and our direct experience of Srila Prabhupada.

Always try to help the institution and remember that in Kali -yuga there are no perfect institutions, but they are a great help as we can keep them running!

At the moment, I am undertaking this service on my own, as there are no devotees with the same availability of time or the required skills for this service.

HpS - Hope you find some Sankirtan partners!

Joining NIOS could be a good option. Can I continue discussing this with Prabhu Abhiram? In the meantime, I will continue progressing with my production and will keep you informed.

HpS - Yes, discuss with Swami Abhi, Jagat guru Das others!

Thank you very much, Guru Maharaj.

Hare Krishna,

Jagat Pavitram das

HpS - Thank you! Everyone likes to see a new movie - [Bhakti Vinode Thakura]

HK, Guru maharaja. AGTSP, please accpet my humble obeisances.

Reporting from the principal base.

I had desires to join the Brahmacari asrama. Before coming here to Bhakti Shastry, Pancatattva Das give me his saffron clothing,

I have thinking seriously about becoming one before during this period of time and when he give me that I feel more exited about being one, but I don't know how to be one, what I have to do to become one.

HpS - Read and reflect on these:

https://vedabase.io/en/library/lob/31/

https://vedabase.io/en/library/sb/1/9/27/

https://vedabase.io/en/library/sb/7/12/

Talk to local authorities.

Report on the results of your findings.

Basically be a celibate student!

😃

I can be one? I ask Devaki and he ask Dhanvantari Swami, and he said that is good, but it's all that take to be one? Sure I have to ask you first if I can be one.

HpS - Yes, it is good. At least for some time. If you can serve Krsna well in that ashrama and thne go directly to Sannyasa that is also good!! Great.

Whit few to little to add have a nice time in Krsna consciousness. :^D

(I cannot figure out how to put a little tilaka in to the smilely face ''\_(•-•)_/'')

HpS - Neither I!

Thank you.

Always nice to hear news of Maharaja's ashrama.

asa[e] - media resources, cinema.

Hare Krishna, Gurumaharaj

Please accept my humble obeisances.

All glories to Srila Prabhupada.

As per your instruction, I would like to share the link to an interesting movie. 'God on Trial', the plot of the movie is based on a true story during the Holocaust.

It depicts the need to understand why we suffer.

The theology of suffering of a group of Jewish people who, the night before their already announced death (Gas chambers), full of fear and despair, questioned and debated God's promises of protection.

It is an attempt to rationalize and understand the suffering and the imminent death that is imposed on them (like we all are in some way).

How to reconcile their faith in God's loving plan and the excruciating pain and suffering that they are exposed to.

In my humble understanding, it is an invitation to question our beliefs, and go deeper in our relationship with God.

If someone is interested, here is the link

Hope this will be useful to somebody like it is to me.

Thank you.

HpS/ASA - super! SUPER! . . S-U-P-E-R! ! !

We will watch.

Thank you.

What about Dinner with a Perfect Stranger and the other one about her daughter?

Others?

Anyone else recommend Media Resources?

This is Sankirtan: K.C. view point on modern media.



Hare Krishna, Gurudeva 🙏🏻

Please, accept my humble obeisances!

All glories to Srila Prabhupada!

This is the current schedule of devotees for leading kirtan on Full Morning Service:

● MONDAY: H. H. Hanumatpresaka Swami.

● TUESDAY: Govardhana das, Mitravinda devi dasi.

● WEDNESDAY: Yugala Kishora dasi, Jagad Guru das.

● THURSDAY: Tarangaksi devi dasi, Caturatma das.

● FRIDAY: Abhinanda das, Deva Vrata das.

● SATURDAY: Isvari Radha devi dasi, Karuna Sakti devi dasi.

● SUNDAY: Candramukhi devi dasi, Parasurama Avatara das.

Gurudeva, remembering what we talked with you and Jagad Guru prabhu here in Perú (Santa Eulalia) about FMS..

I've been asking if some devotees that regularly participate in the program wanted to lead the kirtan. Some of them are interested in doing it.

That being said, there could be three devotees (instead of two) per week day, rotating during the month.

We could then have a renewed list of leaders, so there's more diversity and giving the opportunity to others, without excluding devotees that had been already participating a long time ago.

What do you think, Gurudeva?

Thank you.

Your aspiring servant:

Mitravinda dd.

HpS - AgtSP! Thank you! Again, we are slow in responding to the Blog. Radha ramana Swami visiting. So, nice. DTC deadlines. Reduced capacity to write on screen with our aged donkey.

Today we went to the optomatrist for annual check-up and he dialated our eyes, and they are still distorted after seven hours.

😃

The rotation sounds great, but they should be devotees who are keeping a regular Brahma muhurta program, joining our program regularly and can pronounce the Gurvastaka with meaning.

O.K.?
