PAMHO

Dear Gurudev! Uff time without writing, mind and heart in a whirlwind that makes me shake! But we are moving forward! Thanks to the mercy of Srila Prabhupada's books and blog! Gurumaharaj why despite receiving mercy and darshana of deities and spiritual master yet I have the feeling of loneliness, is this what my mind and heart attacks.
Your aspiring servant, 
Bhakta Manuel

 ASA -  AGTSP  paho.   Hmm!  Probably because we are still conditioned by past experiences and we can't really see the Diety or the Spiritual master completely.  Have to continue with the bath, Hari-nama anu kirtanam.  Keep chanting and worhipping the Diety!  That's the solution.       Worshipping the deity means to follow four principles strictly, keep regular programs such as Brahma-muhurta, mangala-arati, SB daily.   We have to run to do this now, but so much other comments in other letters.   Your association is so, so nice for us.  Two more letters!  Quick!           We have to accelerate the sense, Srila Prabhupad says!

Hare Krsna,

PAMHO.

My mother and I were watching a kathak dance ballet on Sri Krsna. In one of the scenes, the separation of Lord Krsna and Radha was depicted. My mother raised a question on this that why did the Lord not invite Radhaji to join him in Mathura or Dwarka after he had vanquished Kansa?

Although a very simple question, i could find no answer suitable for it. It is not possible(as per my limited understanding) that the Lord forgot to invite her or was too tied up in other matters. He is the perfect person so such an explanation does not seem complete.

I request you to please kindly shed some light on this question.

HpS - Jaya!   AgtSP   Pamho.  Such a nice question.  If you look at

http://vedabase.net/cc/madhya/13/127/en

CC Madhya 13.127 and the surrounding verses I think you will find the answer. It is a big secret, just between us.     (Ha!    Ha!   Ha!)

More nice questions!!

Vida y eneñanza del señor Caitanya

El señor caitanya  es conocido como el apostol del amor por Dios y el padre del canto congregacional  del santo nombre.

Advino en Sridan  Mayapur,en el calendario cristiano,en 1486,siendo el predicador ideal del srimad bhagavatan,ocupo a sus asociados y devotos en elHarinan Sankirtan,realizando variados pasatiempos inclusive desde que nació el se ponía a llorar y a llorar pero para tranquilizarlo tenían que cantar  el Santo nombre y si dejavan de cantar el llorava y llorava.

Acepto Sannyasa a los 24 años,cayendo en diferentes circunstancias en extasis por amor por Dios,educando y venciendo a inpersonalistas,convetiendolos  a vaisnavas,enseñando que la verdad absolutaes personal,haciendo referencias al Bhagavatam,Bhagavada los vedas y puranas.

El señor Caitanya tuvo cinco  grandes asociados,realizando diferentes pasatiempos,también dicidio vicitar Vrindavan y cercanos lugares.El paso por las junglas de jarikanda y todos los de ahí como tigres,elefantes,venados y monos comenzaron a bailar y cantar al inosoro del Santo nombre,que manava de la boca del Señor Caitanya

No hay restricción alguna,casta ,credo,color, o especie,asi también convirtiendo a los grandes ministros musulmanes al vainavismo,eran dos hermanos llamados Sakara Mallik yDabira Kash,posterior mente serán llamados RUPA y SANATANA,intruyendoles en la ciencia  del servicio devocional.El señor Caitanya les encargo la misión de abrir o escavar luares sgrados donde krishna realizo sus pasatiempos trancendentales y escribieran liros sobre la ciencia del servicio devocional.

El señor Caitanya  solo dejo ocho oraciones oescrituras que serán llamados el Sicsastaka,donde nos en seña los niveles de devoción de Bhava a Prema,amor puro por el señor Krishna el es el señor Caitanya,krishna mismo desempeñando el papel de Radharani,para saborear el amor de Radha por Krishna.

OCHO GRANDES SANTOS Y DEVOTOS DE KRISHNA

Reina Kunti:La mama de los cinco pandavas y un hijo escondido llamado Radheya,fue la tia de krishna,oro mucho al señor Krishna  para que se quedara en Hastinapura lográndolo.

Bhismadeva.Cuya madre fue Ganga y padre Santono ,su nombre de niñes fue devavrata cambiado por los semidioses por su gran voto de Brahmacaria de por vida .Apoyando a Dhuriodana en la batalla de kurusketra ,siendo fusilado por millares de flechas ,y antes de morir en un lecho de flechas  instruyo a Maharaj Yudhistira,por eso es llamado uno de los doce mahayanas.

Maharaj YUDRISTIRA:Hermano mayor de los cincos  pandavas ,representa el Dharma personificado,antes de coronarlo hubo  una gra lucha ante el trono,el vio muchos presagios de esta deprorable era de Kali Yuga.

VYASADEVA:Es la encarnacion literaria del Señor Krishna ,escribió los cuatro vedas,no sintiéndose satisfecho se le presenta su maestro que le dice la causa de su insatisfacion ,se debe que no a glorificado apropiadamente al Señor Krishna.

Narada Muni :Maestro espiritual de vyasadeva,es un viajero cosmonauta,atravesando los universos ,predicando las glorias del Señor Krishna ,el interviene en cada circunstancia s para acelerar los pasatiempos del SEÑOR KRISHNA.

DRAUPADI:Una celebre devota del SEÑOR KRISHNA ,nació para acavar con la dinastía Kuru.Se casa con los cinco pandavas,ellaes apostada y forzada a ser desnudada en la casa de asambleas ,luego el Señor Krishna lo  ayuda dándole ilimitada tela,por depender de el y no de sus fuerzas.

Maharaj Pariksit:Rey santo ,castigo a la personificación de Kali_yuga cuando lo encontró maltratando a una vaca .La inevitable maldición de un Brahmana enano,de que en siete días muriera mordida por una serpiente alada,esta acción, lo ayuda a prepararcey encontrarse con su amado maestro Sukadeva Gosuami .

Suta goswami:Fue hijo de Romaharsana_ Suta,quien fue matado por el señor Balaram,en tal circusntancias ,fue ancendido a la Viasasana para que ecponiera el Srimad Bhagavatam, como repre sentante de su padre,a pesar que su casta era de mescla  el expone el Bhagavata_purana por ser un fiel seguidor de los que an oído de fuentes fidedicnas .

ASA - Follows a letter by our Prahlada Nrsmha Das.  He's an intense guy with very intense ideas.

Dear Devotees, Hare Krishna! Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada.

This is an open invitation to all devotees to have the most transcendentally wonderful time of your life by taking part in Prabhupada's book distribution mission on traveling sankirtana.

Our dearmost Srila Prabhupada worked so hard to produce his books and wanted his followers to distribute them. As he says in the Srimad Bhagavatam 3.21.31 "A person in Krsna consciousness, a devotee of the Lord, is always compassionate. He is not satisfied that only he himself is a devotee, but he tries to distribute the knowledge of devotional service to everyone. There are many devotees of the Lord who faced many risks in distributing the devotional service of the Lord to people in general. That should be done."

This is a grate opportunity for anyone who would like to take up this wonderful service of book distribution for a short or long time. 

Krishna has provided a very nice custom outfitted sankirtana camper van to distribute books in. By Gaura Nitai's causeless mercy I have 15 years of experience traveling to sweet spots in North America distributing Prabhupada's books to the youth of today who are so grateful to receive them.

Prabhupada once said "Only hope is that you distribute books, as much as possible, whole Europe, whole America. If they come to some day, they will realize what is this value. [break] ...they will realize that what valuable books we have left for the study of the whole world. That will come." (Morning Walk -- June 28, 1975, Denver)

Well that day is here! People are looking for alternatives to this materialistic unfulfilling economically unstable western lifestyle and many people are looking to the East for answers. As a result, it's sweeter than ever to distribute Prabhupada's books and people tremendously appreciate receiving this valuable transcendental wisdom!

This opportunity is for everyone.

No experience necessary.

Will accept devotees from all Vaisnava backgrounds.

While you are with me I only ask you to be faithful to Srila Prabhupada and only distribute his original books which I can supply at cost.

ASA - He like thinks that the BBT Books after 1977 have too many incorrect changes that he doesn't like to distribute them. We as ASA have our own opinion about this but don't think it's wrong to distribute the 1977 books, but we think that there are definitely some things that need to be commented  on/corrected!

Hare Krishna gurudeva!! long time not writing you...

ASA Monkey/Piggy - AGTSP   pamho.  Yeah!   Long time!  Demon...

i m fine, 

ASA Monkey/Piggy - Well that's good to hear. HpS gets in all this anxiety thinking about his students when he hears too much or too little from them.  You gotta learn the art of saying just the right amount to people in just the right way. Well, we also are demons, so I guess we can't be too critical of others! 

following 4 principles without problems, japa not in it best moment, not allways good chanting, with some problems to get up early also, very tired low energy,

ASA Monkey/Piggy - It's a matter of priorities. Don't we know. We are not the Supreme Friends (bhotarama yajna tapasyam...).   Gotta do our work as pro-por-tioned by The Boss and then let The Boss do at least 85% of the work. 

 but by krishnas mercy very much ocupated in service at the present, happy in that way.....with my wife we are giving mantra yoga meditation seminars at the temple,

ASA Monkey/Piggy - Wow!   Super!   "Om mani padme hum!" Hare Krsna Hare Rama!" Super!

last week like 15 new people chant 1 round in the mala for the first time,

ASA Monkey/Piggy - Super! Blooper!     We did like the same kind of seminar at Ricardo Palma University and it was also Super.  We made "Minute Malas". 25-beads each, and then put them in packages with little explanation and they sold like pancakes... boom!

very much intrested people...also givin ayurveda nd cookin courses in some yoga centers, in the houses of some people, doin some bhaktivriksa programs, ..i also continue giving yoga clases,etc.....i gave up last month an office job i take this year that was with my family, it  was not beein very good for my  health, now much more relieved in that way....

Prepearin to travel to india also ,the 21 of october , i think we will arrive like 23 to vrindavana...yr gonna be there at that time,no? is it posible to travel to manipur with you also?

ASA Monkey/Piggy - You gotta look at the Calendar link in the KDh for our Calendar.   Think we come back from Bombay to Vraja about then!    We will put news about Manipur in the next Kapi Dhvaja. You have to contact the Temple President there and about staying, visiting etc.   We will do a light of the Bhagavata symposium and try to see all the Kartika purnima Rasa-lila. If you get permission to stay then you have to get tickets.   Ho!   Ho!   Ho!     We got ours from www.makemytrip.com -

Here is our letter to them:

President -radha carana das manipur <[email protected]>

GBC Regional Secretary - ekanatha das manipur <[email protected]>

Our Good Friend - ajit das <[email protected]>
 

Esteemed Radha-carana Prabhu, Ekanatha Prabhu, Ajita Prabhu's et al,

Srila Prabhupada, Srila Bhakti-svarupa Damodara Swami, Manipuri Vaisnava Bhakta Vrnda Ki Jai!

How are you?

We have just returned from three months in South America. Many places there are just like Manipur and the preaching in Manipur would help then a lot.

Ajita was so kind to go there and they still talk about the visit so much.

We are in USA for two weeks then Europe then India and Manipura.

We have out tickets to visit for the same dates, 8th-15th of November.

We can send more details in the next few days, but our idea is to get as much mercy and education from your good selves as we can and to offer our Symposium on Light of the Bhagavata, Cultivation of the Human Spirit.

[ ] Is the book translated into Manipuri language?

We have the files for the art, 20-40MB so we can do a nice art exhibition, seminars on specific topics and very nice movies!

I am telling devotees who want to visit to contact these addresses directly to make arrangements. We will help as much as we can also to arrange things but we are 63-years old so cannot do as much as before.

We want to help with the Sankirtana of Sri Sri Radha Govinda-candra and spread it all over the world.

Please let us know if these are good plans.

Your servants,

Hanumatpresaka Swami

Like 10 days ago prabhu syamakunda from peru, was visitin me at my home , and he was with a radha govinda deities with him, that he could not take care of them, he gave them to me , to take care of them , they re not officialy instalated deities,but i feel they re realy present, i put them in the altar with gopala, jaganatha ,baladev nd subhadra nd the p tattva.... do you think i could/should  worship radha krishna deities?..      

ASA - M/P - We asked HpS and he said that if you are following Srila Prabhupada then it's O.K. because Jayananda made the point that Srila Prabhupada says in his BG that everyone should worship the forms of RK and SR et al, and Tamal Krsna Maharaja said that Jayananda was correct!   

MPD - Also, we re planin with some devotees to celebrate radhastami at my home, nd we were thinkin in doing an abishekam, is that recomendated for radhastami?  it could be done an abishekam to a deitie that is not oficialy instalated? or that is some kind of instalation of the deitie?

hope yr fine gurudev, sorry to much questions, hope to see you in vraja...

ys, madhavendra puri das

M/P - Wow it's 3.49AM  Gotta jump in the Lake!   Seems that you can bath Them in water with nice Kirtan and SB prayers but not milk etc and that would be O.K. for the first time.

Hare Krsna Prabhus, AGTSP   paoho and bw.    Here we are, Monkey/Piggy with HpSwami, Uncle Gismo et al, in Pandava's Ashrama in Issaquah, Washington.  There are lots and lots and lots of green trees, pine forest that go up and up and up.   There are bears and wolves and Puma-tigers in the forest. It is crisp and cool here. We did a program at Hari-vilasa Prabhu's ISKCON Templ last night. It was pretty cool, Ganesha, BG 10.8 and Prabhupada, the Person Bhagavata. Also, HpS met his brother and sister for the first time since like 1978. That was a lot of emotional stress for everybody by golly - the meeting of two cultures, but it was really cool and everyone benefitted so much.
The human race is making progress.

Srila Prabhupada Ki Jai!

Oscar Natars + Rodrigo Otero, Ki Jai!

Hari-vilasa ISKCON Seattle, Ki Jai!

HpSwami's eyeballs are dying. This is probably the last tour he will take like this. 25-letters yesterday. 25-phone calls after getting back in the USA. There is no time to be to generous with anyone!  Just have to make the offer of Krsna to everyone and then it is up to them to make the choice , no?

We got back late so there was no chance to read the Blog.  Now we will do it.

We got out 25-rounds done from yesterday.

Mangala-arati is 5.30AM here.  According to The World Clock, sunrise is 6.30 here and sunset is 7.45. That means that Brahma-moo-hurta is 5-5.45 AM. Gotta be up and at 'em by 4.30AM, no?  Gotta have your bath and Tilak and be doing Kirtan by 5.00AM if you want to get a passing score with the ISKCON-ASA school of Bhakti Yoga and get a PhD from Lord Caitanya!

O.K. Let's look at five letters from the Blog!

Kirtaniya sada Harih!!
