HpS - By the time we answer this I think you will have finished your surgery! We want to news but realize your body will not be doing much internet.

Hare Krsna.

Hare Krsna!

Chanting, thinking of you.

Hare Krsna, Hare Krsna!


We all help each other grossly or subtly to chant constant.

Engage in hearing and chanting constantly.

We keep the FMS going. That is so, so, so powerful.

It draaaaags us forward.

Everyday we learn more about Gurvastakam.

The more we know, the more we are attached, motivated.


Our chanting has influence on the subtle platform.


Members of our group are attached to each other.


How to chant constantly? By seeking association of devotees, acharyas on the gross and subtle platform. Sharing what we find with others.

Do you have a picture of Prabhupada on your altar?

Do you have an altar?

If you do arati, offerings, kirtan for them, they will be present.

Another regular piece of the 24-hour day becomes eternally Kirtan.


Then we join Krsna's dynamic completely new lila which occupies outside of even 24-hour regular schedules.

Hare Krsna. Hare Krsna.

we need pictures of you!

Hare Krishna, Dear Gurumaharaja!

All glories to Srila Prabhupada and All glories to you.

Please accept our humble obeisances. (PAOHO)


As of every two weeks:

* Bulletin is now upload on Facebook (English & Spanish), it is also in Google Groups (English & Spanish) as listed at: http://www.jayarama.us/hello.htm


Hare Krishna. Greetings from Oxapampa, Pasco (central jungle), Peru. It is, 387 km from Lima. We came by bus. It was almost 12 hours of travel.


It is a wonderful place for meditate... Here, we are keeping our sadhana (16R, 4.30 AM, 4P). Reading SB everyday.


Today is our last day here. We've been here for 7 days. We came to work the land, learn to sow and harvest in a proper way. My students are happy. They are more aware of the value of nature. 14-year-old children finish the second seven years of life. The guiding thread of Waldorf pedagogy is the conviction that the child learns and develops through two factors. On the one hand, there is the innate will to learn, typical of its essence; on the other, the stimulation of the human environment, which just gives shape to that will to learn. So, working the land helps to strengthen the will.


We will be in Lima tomorrow morning... We hope we can go to temple at night.


we thanks a lot all you support and patience


Your aspirant servants

HpS - ASA - Thank you for the translations and the amazing work with your students. We all are connected by so many social media that any good work done with one's students influences the world. Thank you.

There seems to be almost no chance to offer students the kind of experience that you are offering yours in the USA:

More mail!

😃


Here in the basement

Hare Krsna, AgtSP


Please accept my humble obeisances

(I'm not shure if this is the proper way of making a salute)


ASA / HpS - Seems great! We offer the same as you have done!


But here I am, now the new temporally base of operations for the sk (sankirtan) is in a place called Villa Carlos Paz a pretty place whit a river and a loot of beutifull birds, the principal base is in San Esteban (aprox 2 hours in car from the new one) and it's also a really beutifull place.

My teachers are for the moment just mahara Dhanvantari Swami, now when we go back to the pricipal base we are going to have class whit Devaki about the meanings of SP of the BG and then a few or so months whit Mitravinda about the Upadesambrita and the the rest (or at least is what i know because the organization here is somthing that It's impossible to understand at least to me) but good new's I give 76 little book's and between 5 or 4 BG a really nice number for just 4 days.


HpS/ASA - There are not two people like you! Your Sankirtan is very inspiring for so many of us.




Now about your health it's somthing that all are going to pass in one moment or other.

Here I see people of all the ages and the old ones are the ones that I feel more compation about, not because their bodies but the life that usually without Krsna consciousness they just know about family, sens and all that, but a materialistic life just will only direct them to the worst destiny and they are not so lucky as the joung ones because even if they can reach some knowledge they usually are too accustomed to a material life to accept Krsna, what we can do to the people that simply dont wan't to hear about Krsna not because they are ateist or somthing similar but because custom and the years have made them become a log that can no longer bend?


HpS/ASA - Try our best to be instruments of the Previous Acharya's like Narada Mooooni who converted Mrgari into t a Vaisnava!


And whit little to few question's more to add i said good bye :D

Hare Krsna, Guru Maharaja, I hope all the travel to your base have being really nice :D.


HpS - ASA -- Distributing books is super, but also look and see if KRSNA sends people who can also become book distributors!

More News!

Respects to Dhanvantari Swami, Maharaja et al!!

All glories to Srila Prabhupada



I want to answer the questions he asked me in the previous letter: https://monkeywarrior.com/detail/14142/



HpS - Have to go to bed early?



There are days that I arrive home at 9:30 p.m., for study reasons at the institute. And 5 days a week I study the scriptures with a group of devotees from 20:00 to 22:00. Sometimes even a few minutes later. It is the most stable time of Vaisnava association that I have.



I generally go to sleep at 10 or 10:30 p.m., sometimes at 9:30 p.m. and other times at 11:00 p.m.



What I have verified is that my body needs 8 hours of sleep to not need a nap.


HpS/ASA - AgtSP! Thank you for your news! You should pray to Krsna to make arrangements so you can get to bed more early, no? Then you have Sadhana time during Brahma muhurta?



HpS - There must be some personal motivation within the spiritual motivation eg. desire to become famous as a religious preacher. Is that true?



Of course I do, I realize my shortcomings, I am a devotee full of anarthas, above all I am very attached to recognition, fame, power, etc. But by his mercy, Prabhupada's and Krishna's, that is gradually diminishing.


ASA - 👍 

👍. . . .👍 . . .



There is an increasing desire to serve you and Srila Prabhupada in the sankirtan movement, distributing the books and the holy name, depending on the situation of the person I am addressing.



I wish I had more tools to be able to preach and understand how to get the message across more effectively.



HpS - Who are your Sankirtan partners? If you rely too much on your own management it can be dangerous, no?



You are right, I will consider it more emphatically now, in what practical way could it be carried out? Asking for advice, showing ideas and content to share?

ASA - Yes! Yes! Yes! Taking advantage of the people Krsna sends as Sankirtan partners.


I am very prone to make mistakes and therefore I need the help of other souls, that is clear to me, but the good thing is that I feel the enthusiasm of wanting to share Krishna consciousness, that motivates me.



I want to tell you that my state of health has already stabilized and is even better than when I began to be a devotee, since now I receive the appropriate medicine for my situation, and well, I have clearly matured in various aspects, including the emotional one.



I don't want to make the same mistake again.



HpS - UP ... down... UP .... down. It's natural, isn't it? Learning how to deal with the body. Otherwise it can drive ANY of us to madness.


This world is mad!


https://vedabase.io/en/library/sb/1/17/ especially starting with Text 4? Useful?



Gurudeva, what do you mean by this quote?

HpS - Hmmm! I don't remember?


Curiously, a week after he sent me this letter, we began to study this chapter in the study group.



In different instances (three times hereby) you have appointed me Maharaja Pariksit. What should I learn from him

or from this pastime?


HpS - Same as above! If it's important Krsna will bring it to our attention again, no?



your servant


piyari mohan das


HpS - Hoping you get free from the reactions of your previous offenses more and more and more profoundly.

We have them from previous lives, no?

Eg. In next life Duryodhana will take birth as a princess and be subjected to the same humiliation as Draupadi?

Report from Gaura Gadadhara Dasi

1 year, 9 months ago by gauragadadhara in Personal Sadhana Reports

 My Dear Guru Maharaj


Please accept my humble obeisances, All glories to Srila Prabhupada

We pray that your health is good.


Whilst my husband and I spoke several times about writing to you, our desire was not sincere


Dear Guru Maharaj, I want to express my gratitude for actually making arrangements for us remain in Sridham Mayapur.


By our Guru Maharaj’s mercy, my details have recently been officially registered in Mayapur, to perform a small spot of seva, as a servant to assisting in Sri Sri Radha Madhava’s and Asta Sakhi’s pujari department.


My little seva includes maintaining Nrsimha Dev’s clothes, Avaranam, jewellery . I get to Iron Narsimha Dev’s and Prahalad Maharaj’s dresses, and then arranging them in their place.

I also have half hr cleaning seva . It is a beautiful and fulfilling experience. I feel very very happy


HpS/ASA - 🙂 👍



Also 1 week, a month, I have been granted same seva for Sri Sri Nitai Gour Padakamala at Srila Prabhupada’s bhajan kutir.


Although I havent learnt enough Bengali to converse, I am however Slowly developing a very sweet loving relationship with Pujari’s and other sevaks. They seem happy with my service.


Since past Two months , every day after Srila Prabhupad’s guru puja, my husband and I have been granted seva to distribute Nrsimha Devs Kheer maha prasadam. There is generally a long queue of devotees and visiting pilgrims, even before the distribution begins.


We really relish the opportunity to serve the Vaishnava’s , it gives us great pleasure when we get so much affection and blessings And because of this Seva, we now also attend Darshan Arti regularly.


My husband after piking flowers, is able to attend daily Mangal Arti at Srila Prabhupada’s Smadhi, and I attend Mangal Arti at Srila Prabhupad’s Bhajan Kutir and Radha Madhava’s Temple


Dear Guru Maharaj, Thank you for your regular darshan , I am following you on ASA Carnaval Facebook, Thank for inspiring all of us.


Im so happy, because I feel my sadhana is improving , Im hearing more Srimad Bhagavatam especially recordings from H. H. Haladhar Maharaj, and live at the Temple after which I do my regular Seva.

I am feeling like the Pujari for Sri Radha Madan Bihari in Chosica.


At home one week I do pujari seva, and cleaning the ashrama for our dieties

whilst my husband cooks, and does other house chores, and then the following week we switch services,


By the sweet mercy of my beloved Guru Maharaj, I am feeling Enlivened and Alive . Thank you so much


I offer my loving obeisances to My Dear Guru Maharaj.


Your Servant

Gaura Gadadhara Dasi


HpS - Hare Krsna, Hare Krsna.... how is your Japa experience. How is Prabhuji's bodily health?
