Todas las glorias a Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu y su eterno Sankirtan.

Todas las glorias a Srila Prabhupada.

Por favor acepte mis respetuosas reverencias querido Maharajá.

Querido Maharajá, permítame ofrecerle mis  respetuosas reverencias desearía que humildes pero eso en sentimiento muy elevado propio de usted y Srila Prabhupada que me inspiran a aprender.

Disculpe mi ofensa de no poderle enviar con anterioridad reportes de actividades, me da mucha pena enviarle reportes con pocas actividades, mi deseo sincero es poderle compartir cosas buenas y mucho servicio pero se que usted esta muy ocupado y necesita descansar como para que lo moleste con esto.

Ahora termine 1° semestre de universidad con promedio de 9.2 esa es mi insignificante ofrenda a su elevada personalidad llena de compasión y misericordia. Deje de tener un servicio fijo en el templo mientras estudiaba y las rondas empezaban a dificultarse mucho, la mente agarraba  fuerza y al sentirme mas indefensa   fui  corriendo al refugio de Srila Prabhupada.

Prabhu Maitreya me ayudo mucho a mejorar las rondas y me invito a quedarme en el templo  en vacaciones q con gusto acepte ahora  me quede  entrando a raja bhoga y cantando 16 rondas diarias acabo de pedir servicio fijo los jueves en la tarde de parafernalias, pido a krishna todos los días que me permita mantenerme fija por que  ahora después de estas pruebas me e dado cuenta que soy muy débil y tonta, que necesito tener voluntad  para poder seguir adelante.

Los ekadasi van muy bien poco a poco dejan de ser austeridad para convertirse en gusto, gracias por su inspiración y su instrucción siento como me va llevando de regreso a krishna, con mucho amor Querido Maharajá, el día de su sagrado Sri Vyasapuja lo celebramos en el templo en compañía de todos los devotos y estar cerca de usted por medio de la transmisión por internet, aunque hubo fallas le pudimos escuchar y eso fue lo mas importante. No le envié mi  ofrenda escrita al blog  ya que aun no soy formalmente su aspirante,  pero pude pasar a decirla en el Sri Vyasa Puja gracias  por  permitirme glorificarlo  y permítame por favor volver a glorificar  su aparición trascendental antes de la desaparición de Srila jiva Goswami.

Gracias a Srila Prabhupada y a su inspiración, Gopal se encuentra bien se le atiende cada semana con adoración y canto, el servicio en el altar me ayuda mucho, aunque he cambiado el día de adorarlo a los martes por la escuela.

Maharajá le pido perdón porque no se como dirigirme a usted, porque no me siento cualificada para glorificar su misericordia, pero mi deseo ahora es alcanzar su refugio formal y no perder mas tiempo, como sus palabras bien lo dijeron es bueno ser paciente pero es mejor ser entusiasta.

Oro a Sri Krsna, porque siga  bien de salud pidiendo perdone mis ofensas por favor.

Su aspirante a refugio Bhaktin Zareth.

HpS - ASA -  Jaya!  Gracias a Vd.     Gracias a Srila Prabhupada quien ha nos dotado (has given us) esta buen cultura Vaisnava.  Adelante, adelante, adelante.    Busca sus gustos en el empiro de bhakti yoga de Srila Prabhupada, y cultivan.  Cada persona es diferente. Cada tiene su propio desafios y ganancias!

Cuales su carrera de estudio??? 

All Glories To Srila Prabhupada!

All Glories To Sri Guru and Gauranga!

Please accept my humble obeisances.

Dear gurudev,

Yesterday I read the response of my Vyasa Puja offering and is so liberating feel that I can be as honest as I can and receving so merciful answer from You. Thank You a lot!  The situation with my son and his mother is very complicated. They are fine but in the middle there is a lot of drama and novel situations. In resume I want to take care and raise my son but she don´t want me as his father. What happens in the middle? Whe know about the prengancy after finishing our couple relation. And after that she sent me an e-mail telling me that I´m gonna be father but after that she denied me any personal or indirect contact. The baby is about to born and I still don´t know where or when, she don´t want to tell me. I´m with lawyers and all that trying to give him my costudy so that I can see him and give him all the needs: money, health care, visit days. When I tried to talk with her in person she don´t want to talk, even if I always be comprehensive and patient, I was never violent or pressure trying to understand her. But she stills insist in have this position. Now I´m expecting and trying to have hope that when my son born she will be quiet and start to comprehend that the baby needs his mother and his father.

I´m trying not to judge her or being offensive, we all have traumas to resolve and if Krishna wants her to be the mother of my son is because she is special. Uff Krishna is teaching me a lot and I´m trying to learn. Thanks to devotees, family and You I´m passing through this pretty well, with anxiety but trying to comprehend the things better. I´m experimentig very directly what happens when one is situated in the mode of ignorance and I want start to develop more goodness with sincerity and stop suffering this kind of things just for being like an animal. And I´m realizing that the external situation can be a chaos but inside us everything can be expierenced very pacefuly when whe ask Krishna for comprehension.  Well this is the resume, there are a lot of things more but I think that is not necessary I know that You can comprehend the essence of the situation behind the words. Sorry for the extension of the letter and Thank You a lot again. Please accept my apologies if there any offense in this letter, I´m a diplomated donkey.  At Your service.

Jagadananda Pandit das.

HpS - ASA   ---  Jaya Srila Prabhupada.     Yeah, keep trying to work on the problem personally, but really it seems that any real solution is going to require Krsna's action. So, Hmmmm,   what does He want?
Awaiting the next episode of the never ending tele-novela of Jagad Pandita Das the Neo-Metropolitano!

Hare Krsna Maharaj,

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

Maharaj, I have honestly been trying to build up the courage to write this email for almost a month now.  The update is we are very very very grateful to be under Radha Bankabihari's shelter and the Boise devotees shelter.  Aruddha Mataji is our grihastha siksa guru (she always has been, but now it is much easier to consult with her regularly) and Srinivasa Acharya and Sangeetha are the perfect grihastha examples to emmulate- who can ask for more!  It was a battle to get here, but with the phone turned off, limited internet access, and being engaged in service/reading/making prasad for deities 6 times a week we feel things are intense, but really good.  Also, being on the altar everyday and Nick Prabhu practically being engaged all weekend in temple service has helped us see the necessity of scheduling our spare time nicely (reading, cleaning, etc.).  I think both of us knew before moving here that this was the grihastha equivalient to 'moving into the temple' but honestly, Krsna must have known that this lifestyle suits our natures (a sudra/musician/artist/ 1/5 brahman nature???).

My point is that we are very happy with this arrangement.  Before we moved, I let the Gupta's know that taking up this service would rest upon the condition that I would strive to aspire for second initiation.  I have read what you are looking for Maharaj, in your guru tattva document and talked to Srinivasa about the qualifications you are looking for.  Without sounding like a person who is trying to act falsely humble, I do want to say that with all sincerity I feel extremely unqualified.  I am moving at a slugs pace in regards to the BhSastri and BhV (still in the Isopanisad and half way through first canto) and of course my husband has let me know I have a lot to work on in regards to character.  I did feel an obligation to ask though due to the previous request made by the Guptas before we started to take on this service.  Thank you for allowing me to inquire in such a stumbling way.

We hope your health is good and we look forward to your visit.  Nick is doing good, chanting consistently everyday, and will be going on a previously scheduled music tour he was invited to do on Thursday after you arrive.  He is glad he will have your association the night you arrive and morning after though.

Please let us know how we can best serve you,  Also, please feel free to ask us any questions- were not sure if we provided a sufficient update.  We can also be reached through Skype now too- we heard there might be possible classes through the SKype in the future? 

Your servants,

Kamagayatri, Nick and Aja

HpS - AGTSP    pamho.    I don't think it is courage, it is more just having the strength to write.  We are not hard to get along with though.  We don't mind simple letters full of simple comments (if they are short).  That way we can all hear about Boise, the Planet of the Trees!

Life sounds nice.  make a plan to stick with it for some time, and then stop to review the situation.

Yeah, Nick's right!   Hard to put up with a hard-headed woman like you. (Hilarious laughter).    It's hard for ANYBODY to be married.  Mother Yasoda was lamenting to Nanda Maharaja that he was impossible, that he let Krsna and Balarama go to Mathura...     Just love your husband and your baby and try to get them back to godhead and everything else will be O.K, no?

We see you soon.

If you survive your present condition for three months, it's like 90% of a Second intitiation test in itself!

Hooray Krsna Maharaj,
    Please accept my humble obeisances.
    All glories to Srila Prabhupada.
 
    Yesterday i discussed in detail with my Shiksa Guru H G Sri RadhaKunja Bihari Das, Pune about ISKCON administrative authority letter for Diksha. He assured me for letter.

    He will take me to Our Temple President H G Radhya Shyam Das, ISKCON, Pune for the same and will try  to know his openion and process on this.

Your aspiring servant,
Gopal Biswas

HpS - Very nice.  Jaya Srila Prabhupada.  Please, can I have their e-mail addresses so that I can talk with them personally?

All glories to Srila Prabhupada

All glories to Hanumatpresaka Swami

Please accept our obeisance’s
 

From our own creation redundancies can only come, words stupid and foolish speculations. But if we return to the Vedic literature, then we will have some intelligence to address you. Therefore, let us return to a quote from Svarupa Damodara Dasa, who in turn quotes in Canto Eleven of SB: "My dear King. Of course you must know that in the material world there is no happiness. It's just a mistake to think here is happiness because this place is not only full of miserable conditions. Any people who seriously want to achieve real happiness must seek out a bona fide spiritual master and must take refuge in him by initiation. The qualification of a spiritual master must have understood is that the conclusion of the scriptures by deliberation and arguments and thus be able to convince others of these conclusions. Such great personalities have taken shelter of the Supreme Godhead, leaving aside all material considerations. To be considered bona fide spiritual master. "

We  convey  our  good  wishes  for  the  day of your Vyasa Puja and that in this great ocean, where waves of maya drag us, for us you are an inspiration to keep looking for Krishna and Srila Prabhupada in his texts, in our related services and day to day trying to complete our rounds.

Let us keep your association and remain in the service and their lotus feet.

Let us offer youthis little gift.

HpS - ASA -  Jaya Srila Prabhupada.  Thank you so much. Is such nice video. Because Srimati Radharani, who is very soft hearted, sees our efforts and then shows them to Krsna, we can be sure that He will be kind on us and correct the many mistakes in our service so that, even if not in this lifetime, we can be nice servants of Srila Prabhupada in his Sankirtana!!!!

 

Hare Krishna querido Gurudev!

Por favor acepte mis mas humildes reverencias. Todas las glorias a Srila Prabhupada.

Hace bastante tiempo que no le escribo, creo que como 5 meses.

HpS - ASA ---  TlgaSP   Pfanrh . . .    Bastante tiempo.  Tiene dedos roto o algo...

Queria contarle que junto con mi esposa nos mudamos a 7 minutos del templo de Buenos Aires. Gracias a esto nuestro sadhana mejoro mucho. Estamos yendo a todos los programas matutinos (mangala arati, japa,c clases de SB etc). Estamos asociandonos con Adi yajña y otros hermanos espriituales, y otros devotos del templo.

ASA - ! ! ! ! !

En unos dias viene Bhakti Vasudeva swami (discipulo de Bhakti thirta swami) va a quedarse 6 dias por aqui.

Con la mudanza y todo lo que eso implica, me olvide de enviar el reporte.

Queria contarle que desde hace un mes, estoy trabajando en diseñar un sitio web para usted, en donde puede ir cargando informacion actualizadas de sus actividades y otros cosas.

Me gustaria si usted puede ver el site y decirme que le parece, la direccion es: www.hpswami.com.ar

Todavia faltan terminar algunas cosas. Como por ejemplo el contenido de la pagina principal (home page), la pagina de reflexiones y enseñanzas, la seccion de cursos de Bhakti sastri y Bhaktivaibhava, y otras cosas.

Quizas usted tenga alguna idea o quiera sugerir algun cambio a dicho web site.

Parece que usted va a venir a Buenos Aires el 6 de marzo. En esa fecha nosotros vamos a estar en chile, pero volvemos para el 12 de marzo. Espero poder tener su asociacion personal.

Su eterno sirviente Devaki-nandana das

 HpS -  Hmmmm!    Posible salimos para Mar de Plata 12.    Hmmm!

O.K.  Nos vemos la pagina... ...

Ahhhhhh h  h       h !        Horrible!!                         Ahhhhh    h!          (Tiene buen aspectos)    Pero la implicacion es que nosotros somo La Proxima Eslabon en la Cadena de Acharyas.   Oooof.    Somos siguiedores de Srila Prabhupada. No esperamos presentarnos mas que eso.  Entonces, por favor separar cual quiere foto de nosotros de la Acharya Parampara.  Somos acharyas, como vd. tambien tiene que ser, pero con "A" menor, "a", no "A", mayor, "A".

O.K.

Los otros enlaces, pienso esta bien, pero todos tiene que entender que los Diaros de Monicito no son de HpSwami.  No way, Jose.  .  .   Nosotros no escriben esta cosas.

De esta manera pienso, si quiere hacer, pude ser bueno, pero primero deja nosotros de las fotos de La Acharya Parampara y poner abajo menos fuerte!  Jaya. Y entonces, si, necesita escribir la pagina principal para explicar las otras cosas. Envia un buen traduccion al Blog para todos ver su Buen Esfuerza!!  Jaya!   4-regs y 16-rondas son buenas?  Como esta su estimada esposa y su familia???
