birth, old age, disease and death

1 year, 9 months ago by AKD in Personal Sadhana Reports, Other

All Glory to Srila Prabhupada and All Glory to Sankirtan Movement by Sri Gaura Nitay, and All Glory to ISKCON.

Pleace accept my humble obeisances, Dear HPS, Gurudeva:

These days, once again circumstances make us beg to be able to surrender to Sri Nitay Gauranga, we can observe that old age and illnesses are there to make us stop boasting, death awaits us, many devotees have left, or are very sick, last Tuesday my mother left her body, and there are devotees who tell me that they already feel that they are in the final stretch, and even so the mind seeks distractions, and winning good companies is very difficult, material difficulties are undoubtedly allies when you can live simply. and you're the real example, thank you very much for accompanying us on this path, your attachment to Srila Prabhupada and the Sankirtan. I pray become a devotee to serve properly.

Your crew member Aniruddhakrsna Das.


HpS/ASA -AkogtSP! paOho. Was wondering how you were, and here is a lucid letter.

Most people identify with the boat and when they have to leaves they kick and scream and fight, and then demand to be put back into another boat.


It seems that you have come to the point where you can accept death, leaving your body, without undo violence, attachment, and then you can help others do the same.

Yet the next question is, "What do we do once we leave the body, buddy, boat"?

We have crossed the Atlantic, we have docked in New York, but what do we do now?

If we are living normally, we would have been communicating with our future employers, understanding our job, preparing for it and expecting to be met by a particular persona when we arrived.

So, we do Ekadasi vrata. We learn to live a little more in the spiritual world.

We actually begin to remember what is our job.

Then death is nice.

Giving up our handcuffs and chains!

Correct?

Are you a peanut?

Are you a cow?

Are you a potato?

How do you know how?

Thank you!

[ASA Carnaval] – Reporte Padmini Ekadasi 2023

1 year, 9 months ago by asacarnaval in Special Category A

¡Hare Krsna! Guru Maharaja por favor acepte nuestras entregadas reverencias

¡Todas las Glorias sean a Srila Prabhupada, y todas las glorias a usted y a los fieles seguidores de nuestro Divino Acarya, que nos guían en el camino que él nos ha mostrado!🙇

🌻


Oramos por que la energía de su cuerpo sea buena y favorable a su sankirtana. Muchas gracias por la inagotable inspiración que nos brinda para continuar con nuestros intentos de servir en el trascendental ejercito de Srila Prabhupada.


Escribo como parte del equipo de ASA Carnaval, para enviar nuestro reporte de actividades:


*Durante este periodo; Sugopi Devi Dasi, Jaya Hari Prabhu y RamaKrsna Ananda Prabhu, amablemente compartieron fotos y videos (De Richmond y Nashville). Apreciamos especialmente los videos del festival del Cultivo del Espíritu Humano (CHS) y del Harinama e iniciaciones en Richmond.🎶

*Por otra parte continuamos transmitiendo las clases sabatinas de Prabhu Upendra y usted.

*También hemos agregado al canal de youtube las clases que usted ha dado para ParthSarthi Foundation (Houston)


Proyectos:

*Tenemos pendiente comunicarnos con Abhirama Thakura Prabhu respecto a las grabaciones de Santa Eulalia.📌

*Aunque muy lento, continuamos con el trabajo de indización y respaldo en la plataforma de youtube.


Importante:

Guru Maharaja, respetuosamente, nos gustaría poner a su consideración la posibilidad de que, durante algunas clases sabatinas, se imparta algún seminario del “Guru Tattva”; Consideramos importante este tópico, porque la correcta y profunda comprensión de la función e importancia del Maestro Espiritual es el eje para el desarrollo de la vida espiritual. Sabemos que el tema ha sido tratado anteriormente en diferentes yatras, no obstante, creemos que estas clases, nos servirían para iluminar nuestro entendimiento y para contar con grabaciones de mejor calidad que podrían ser de utilidad para generaciones posteriores. Otra opción podría ser un seminario sobre “Canciones Vaisnavas” que puede ayudarnos a comprender y a relacionarnos con la canción y con el autor. Agradecemos su consideración y quedamos atentos a su amable respuesta.🙏

I will do (Hare) Krsna! Guru Maharaja, please accept our dedicated obeisances.

All glories be to Srila Prabhupada, and all glories to you and the faithful followers of our Divine Acarya, who guide us on the path he has shown us!🙇

🌻


ASA/HpS - Thank you all, ASA Carnival, for showing us such a good example of the complete life of Sankirtan.


We pray that the energy in his body is good and favorable for his Sankirtana.


HpS/ASA - Right now it is good. Just as for you, it is always a struggle, especially to honor Prasadam perfectly. 🙂


Thank you very much for the inexhaustible inspiration you give us to continue our attempts to serve in Srila Prabhupada's transcendental army.


I am writing as part of the ASA Carnaval team, to send our

Activity Report:


*During this time; Sugopi Devi Dasi, Jaya Hari Prabhu and RamaKrsna Ananda Prabhu kindly shared photos and videos (From Richmond and Nashville). We especially appreciate the videos of the Cultivation of the Human Spirit (CHS) festival and the Harinama and empowerments in Richmond.🎶


*On the other hand we continue to broadcast the Saturday classes of Prabhu Upendra and you.


*We have also added to the Youtube channel the classes that you have given for ParthSarthi Foundation (Houston)


Projects:

*We have yet to communicate with Abhirama Thakura Prabhu regarding the recordings of Santa Eulalia.📌


*Although very slow, we continue with the indexing and backup work on the YouTube platform.


HpS/ASA - We hear of all this work, but always hope that the same work is going on for Srila Prabhupada six-times more strongly than for us! Of course, there are Prabhupada's Memories, Lila-amrta, but ASA can also be doing things directly for Prabhupada, no?


Important:

Guru Maharaja, respectfully, we would like to put to your consideration the possibility that, during some Saturday classes:

  1. A Guru Tattva seminar is given; We consider this topic important, because the correct and deep understanding of the function and importance of the Spiritual Master is the axis for the development of spiritual life. We know that the subject has been dealt with before in different Yatras, however, we believe that these classes would help us to illuminate our understanding and to have better quality recordings that could be useful for later generations.
  2. Another option could be a seminar on Vaisnava Songs that can help us understand and relate to the song and the author.

We appreciate your consideration and we remain attentive to your kind response.🙏

HpS/ASA - Thank you so much. We will especially refer this Post to Sri Natha Krsna Das. He expressed strong desire to work on the ASA Encyclopedia (A Brown's Eye View of Everything)!

Also, we were inspired by your systematic formatting to try and ad a little more. Hope it is O.K.


God, or the Devil, are in the details.

Requested report

Maharaj,

PAMHO AGTSP!


I’ve been working on the following:

Chanting, Srimad Bhagavatam reading, cooking/cleaning, PhD Applications, Kalaripayattu Martial Art training, Mandi IIT Indian knowledge systems course teaching (Odissi) 🙏.


YAS,

SM DD



HpS//ASA - Super! Super!

Hope to hear more from you when you get to the [?] Devil Sea!

Hare Krsna!!! Hare Rama!!!


Where are you camping?


How is the Pappa and Brother and Mother?


Travel plans???


All joking aside. Watch out. Krsna is notorious for making strange plans with people's lives.

Hanging in Sraddha and Sadhu Sanga

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

Hare Krishna, Beloved Gurudeva,

Please accept my humble obeisances,

All Glories to Srila Prabhupada,


ASA/HpS - Jaya!


Here we are in an Ecovillage in Brazil, studying Ayurveda.

Is it worth it? We don't know!!

These last two months were very tough!! It was difficult for me to chant my rounds. Although many times I woke up at 4 am, my mind was wandering everywhere, sometimes it took half an hour to chant one round.


ASA 😲


Some days I can finish 16 rounds, some days not.


I feel panic, depression, like Arjuna in BG 6.38. I can die at any moment and what did I do with my life?

I can not yet understand what is the cause of it!

Whether it is:

  • an emotional issue,
  • family attachment,
  • too much entanglement in administrative affairs,
  • so many suffering stories at work on a daily basis,
  • aparadhas,
  • lack of sincerity or surrender,
  • pride,
  • little bit of everything?

Not much is going on at Sri Govardhan. Although we are advancing in the administrative field, spiritual programs are scarce. Only the morning program and some visits of Senior Vaisnavas.


Material life is ok, family, work, health. 


Yesterday I read SB canto 4 chapters 25 to 29, preaching of Narada Muni to king Pracinabarhisat and the allegory of Puranjana. So I can remember the situation I am in.


One thing is sure, that my faith in Srila Prabhupada and Iskcon is unchanged, and I feel gratitude for the friendship of devotees.


I see yourself as a great example, a case of success, of course Srila Prabhupada is the Gold Standard of success.


Dedicated your life to your Guru-maharaja, developed a strong and steady sadhana, did tons of service, helped a lot of people and now you are retiring to focus on your inner bhajana. 


HpS - It is bizarre! We are in the closet, material world, and we think that returning to the rest of the house, patio, park, forest, with the rest of the people for Krsna's week of festivities for His birthday party is going "inside". Is funny, no?


I already purchased DTC 1 and 2 from vimeo (waiting for 3 y 4), and distributed 10 TPP Spanish edition. One to H. H. Dhanvantari Swami. He was very impressed by the book. He wants to speak with you to translate it in Portuguese.


HpS - We have not heard from him. Of course, he can do it. It is designed for Bhakti-vaibhava level of diploma studies.

In this letter https://monkeywarrior.com/detail/13631/ you told me: “Hopefully we are at least 77% clear pathway to Srila Prabhupada and we certainly beg you to find other ways to reach him also Eg. Books, Other ISKCON devotees”.

Thank you so much for this instruction, I feel very much protected and cared for by you. I’m feeling very inspired by these devotees, Bhakti Dhira Damodar Swami, Navina Nirada Prabhu, S. B. Keshava Swami from Bhaktivedanta manor and Aravinda Prabhu. I listen to their lectures. I feel like it is the next wave in iskcon. So much power in their preaching, it gives me huge hope!!



In my next letter I will tell you about our projects, and share some thoughts about the GBC. But nothing is worth it, if I can not chant good rounds, so now I want to ask you for help and some advice, how can I improve my japa? (probably you will say by chanting japa), how can I pacify my mind while I’m chanting?

Thank you Gurudeva, you showed me that this process is first class spiritual science.

I’m sorry that I’m more a burden than a help,

Endeavoring to follow your example,

A stubborn fool conditioned soul,

Nikunja bihari das.


HpS//ASA - Nice news in many ways. We hope many other Bloggies make comments on your ideas.

We have Karma, Vasanas, Individual archetypes. They kick-in in certain situations, in certain arrangements of the planets.

We feel life and low, agitated or peaceful mind, even during different parts of the day.

Every morning from 1.00-5.30AM I am a saint, then by 6PM I start to turn into a demo. [Civilized Demon].

I have developed certain techniques, systems to control our mind after many years of working on it.

You will develop yours also.

There is just no doubt about. Every time you take a deep breath and chant three, four, five.. mantras you have made eternal progress.

Tell us all some of the techniques you use now?
