Jaya Radhe,      Jaya Krsna,      Jaya Vrndavan!       This is Buck White (Pigee) writing. We are in the flat in Pranava Das' building in Vrndavana. It is like a 12 minute walk from the ISKCON Krsna Balarama Temple.    We did the interior Parikrama of Vrndavana town yesterday with about 9-devotees.  It was O.K.
We just got here three nights ago and it is possible to stay connected with the ecstatic situation of Vrndvana all the time.


Our health, our work, are of little thrift.

Our only effort is to always see what diversions capture Nanda's son and participate in His expanding fun (for His expanded fun).

We will chant some more rounds and

Answer some more Blog Posts!

Jaya!   AgtSP.

Agt Sri Sri Radha Shyama and Krsna Balarama!

Reverencias para Gurudeva!

TODAS LAS GLORIAS A SRILA PRABHUPADA

Querido Gurudeva por favor acepte mis más respetuosas reverencias.

Le escribe Bhakta Rodrigo Hernández de Santiago de Chile. Hace mucho tiempo que yo no escribía a usted (27 de agosto 2011).

HpS - ASA - TlgaSP!    Feliz cumpleanos!

Espero que usted esté muy bien. Mi salud está muy bien. Con la llegada de la primavera hay más luz y eso mejora mi ánimo! Como en invierno hay poca luz es más difícil vivir tranquilo. Primavera y verano  me ayudan mucho.

He estado haciendo muchas cosas. Esperamos tener lista Utsaha 2 para ser distribuida en Diciembre para la maratón de libros de Srila Prabhupada.

He tomado contacto con Back To Godhead USA y Back to Godhead India. Prabhu Nagaraja (BTG USA) me dijo que él era buen amigo de usted. El devoto me dijo que usted y él hicieron mucho servicio juntos.

Esta semana tendremos listo el afiche del Concurso de Poesía devocional. Usted en Santiago me dió la instrucción de hacer este concurso.

Estamos trabajando en ASA Chile. Hay muy buenas ideas, pero No es fácil hacer realidad todas las ideas o proyectos. Se necesita tiempo, trabajo y laksmi, pero tenemos entusiasmo.

Hasta ahora en ASA Chile participan: Arjuna dasa, Madre Nadia Villar, Prabhu Manuel Poblete, Prabhu Ignacio Gonzalez de Valparaíso, otros devotos y yo.

Pienso mucho en usted y en Srila Prabhupada. Hoy es mi cumpleaños, sólo pido a Krishna llegar a ser un buen devoto y me libre de mis anarthas (por ejemplo me cuesta levantarme temprano y cantar mis rondas). Sólo pido a Krishna 16 rondas toda la vida y 4 principios toda la vida. Mi mente está más tranquila. Mis sentidos y deseos están más tranquilos. Un poco menos de pasión en el corazón.

Arjuna me entregó el libro de PABLO NERUDA (english version and spanish). Ese es un buen libro, pero ahora con las notas y comentarios de usted ese libro es una joya!

Querido Gurudeva gracias por todo lo bueno que usted hace por nosotros. Por favor deme su bendición para aprender a hacer servicio devocional para Krishna, Srila Prabhupada y para usted.

Su aspirante a discípulo que lo ama con todo el corazón,

Bhakta Rodrigo Hernández Piceros

ASA - HpS    -    Dandavat!      Muchas gracias sus noticias.  Pienso esta en el sendero correcto, Krsna va a dar a Vd. todo la inteligencia que necesita advanzar su servicio!   Vamos a publicar el Kapi Dhavja!

A life of temporary situations

12 years, 11 months ago by jaynityananda

Dear Hanumatpresaka Maharaj,

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

Writing you from a new home which the Lord gave me, and it is yet another temporary situation of unknown duration, as this complex will be wrecked soon. A grave reminder of the temporary nature of life in this world. May it sink in!

Fortunately living inbetween the Amsterdam and The Hague temples, about one hour travel each. Last sunday gave such a feeling of being home, after sunday feast, sitting in a small setting having bhajan. It is inspiring and there is a new temple complex coming in the Hague, so likely some practical service can be rendered as well. 

One more point worth mentioning is that i've been listening to your recorded classes, and hearing your voice is very comforting. In terms of content, what i understand from what you share about your disciples and your approach to shastra, i get a sense of hope to one day actually becoming a valid disciple. 

With the upcoming Parikram, i wish you a wonderful stay with your godbrothers in the Holy Dham.

Hare Krishna,

Richard

HpS - AGTSP   pamho   Here we are in Vraja.  It is 9.17PM   Raktaka Prabhu offered us some San Papri (a sweet of grahm flower), and some bananas. Probably should have not eaten late, but so exhausted that not eating is also a problem.

See, our life is just like your life.  Slowly, slowly, we figured out that some things we have to do even if we take birth life after life.    We have to get up early and get out rounds done (with meaning) and proper respiration and posture.  We have to follow the four principles.

And push to find some Sankirtan ecstacy, and continue serving Srila Prabhupada's Sankirtan even if we don't get that pure ecstacy right away.

Get up early and get your rounds done!

ALL GLORIES TO GAURA NITAI,SRILA PRABHUPADA AND MY HUMBLE AND RESPECTFUL OBEISANCES TO YOU MAHARAJA...

HARE KRISHNA MAHARAJA ACCEPT MY APOLOGIES IF NOT UNDERSTOOD THE LETTER... I AM LUIS IS THE FIRST TIME I CONTACTED YOU,TAKE REFUGE IN DECEMBER 2010 WITH DANIEL FROMZERO AND JULIETA CORZO .F.....I WANT TO TELL YOU AS THIS IS MY SITUATION TODAY I AM LIVING WITH A DEVOUT, SHE IS PREGNANT. THIS TODAY IS THE STRONGER THAN I AM GOING THROUGH, KNOW THAT SRI KRSNA DELIBARATED A SOUL OF A DEVOUT FOR HIM TO COME TO COMPLETE THE SERVICE FROM WHERE IT HAS BEEN LEFT IN THE PREVIOUS LIFE.

       ______________________________________________**************_________________________________________________________

 IN THE SB 1.19.2 WHICH DEALS WITH THE EMERGENCE OF SUKADEVA GOSWAMI,SRILA PRABHUPADA SAID: "TO HAVE A DEVOTED SON IN THE FAMILY IS THE DON OR THE BLESSING BIGGER THAN YOU CAN GIVE THE LORD"...BY GIVING THE EXAMPLE OF PRAHALADA MAHARAJA.

I WANTED TO ASK YOU TWO QUESTIONS OF THE B.G CHAPTER FOURTH TEXT 36 THAT SAYS: "EVEN WHEN YOU CONSIDER THE GREATEST SINNER OF ALL SINNERS,WHEN YOU PLACED ON THE BOAT OF KNOWLEDGE TRASCENDENTAL YOU WILL BE ABLE TO CROSS THE OCEAN OF SUFFERING".....SRILA PRABHUPADA SAID THAT THIS MATERIAL WORLD IS LIKE AN OCEAN OF NESCIENCIA OR FOREST IN FLAMES AND THAT THE MAESTRO ESPIRITUAL GENUINE IT WOULD BE AS A FIREFIGHTER TO PUT OUT THE FIRE AND THAT THE BOAT OF CONSCIENCE OF KRSNA IS VERY SIMPLE BUT AT THE SAME TIME THE MOST SUBLIMATE THAT THERE IS, I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF IT IS A DISPUTE IF IT IS SIMPLE OR DIFFICULT?? THE DEVOTIONAL SERVICE....

HpS - ASA -  Ooof!    AgtSP    Try writing in Spanish and much simpler question!   The question and the English don't communicate your idea at all.

WHY, IF WE ARE SINNERS AT THE SAME TIME WE WANT TO DO DEVOTIONAL SERVICE,

HpS - Because we are not 100% sinnes and we are getting mercy from Krsna and Guru!

IT IS ANOTHER CONTROVERSY IN THE SAME TEXT IN THE BG 9.22 SAID "FOR DEVOTION MEDITATING ON MY CRITICALLY I LED THEM WHAT MAKES THEM LACK AND THEY ARE PRESERVED  WHAT THEY HAVE, WHAT IT MEANS WHEN THE TEXT SAYS "WORSHIP WITH A EXCLUSIVE DEVOTION"?AND THAT REFERENCE WHEN HE SAYS " I LED THEM WHAT THEY NEED AND THEY ARE PRESERVED WHAT THEY HAVE" , REFERS TO MATERIAL THINGS OR ESPIRITUALS? MATERIAL NEEDS HUMANS SOCIETY SUFFERS IT WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF THERE IS SPIRITUALS NEEDS AND IF THERE AS THEY ARE MANIFESTED.

* I HAVE THE SOAP THAT GAVE ME, I AM GOING TO USE THE FIRST DAY THAT SHOWER TO MY SON...YOU I OFFER MY RESPECTFUL OBEISANCES TO SRILA PRABHUPADA AND ONCE AGAIN MY RESPECTFUL OBEISANCES FOR YOU GURU MAHARAJA AND AGAIN MY APOLOGIES..

                                                                                    HARIBOL! LUIS

HpS - Again.  Oooof!!!     Oooof!       Oooof!    Impossible to understand the combination of English and the question.    We have some interest in spiritual life, probably because we did some in a last life, and then Krsna, out of His kindness sends a Guru like Srila Prabhupada.  he adjusts our material situation so we can do some service and that helps us to want more service.  Hmmmm.   Is that your question?

How is your Japa and four principles????
