All glories to Sri Sri Gaura Nitai
All glories to Srila Prabhupada
P.A.M.H.O.
first of all I hope you're well and your activities well too.
In this report I can tell, I'm sing 16 rounds of japa, I am following the 4 regulative principles, doing my service garlands for the altar on Tuesdays,reading, Krsna book for of night and upadesamrita.
Again, return to college fter 2 weeks of vacation of winter.
This time, after taking first initiation has been very special, my life is very calm.
I have some questions for you maharaja!!
1. My question is that most of the time, I see that a deity of Lord Hanuman is adored by devotees for "men", women can service do to Lord Hanuman as a protector of us, as well as protecting of he to sita ?? devotees "Woman" can worship the Lord Hanuman too?
HpS - ASA - AGTSP paoho. very nice to hear from you! 5.33AM 8/26. We have to pack to go to the airport to fly to Cusco! Hanuman. Yes, it seems very correct that ladies, Sita devi are offering respects to Hanuman. Yet, he is a Brahmacari so I guess it has to be done very strictly in the association of Srila Prabhupada.
2. With respect to accept our nature, and search our ashram, how we balance this, both materially and spiritually. an example:
I have a 25 years old, I'm already 3 years in university, missing 2 years more to complete my profession, took 3 years practicing bhakti yoga, and I want to study hard in Krsna consciousness, , but not it's my nature to live in an ashram, you think there is a right age to make married life? or is it better to live one time in an ashram to be more stable in the spiritual life? ashram is also necessary for to women?
HpS - I think that if you go on with this Yoga of Japa everything as initiated devotee for at least one more year it will become clear. For ladies it is not so necessary to stay in the Temple, but our home should be an Ashrama. It is natural for lady's Ashrama to be the home with Mother, Father, Brother, Sister, Cousin. . . Of course, these can be Spiritual Brother, Sister etc. Continue chanting and your Ashrama will be come more clear. 1st initiation = I am devotee. 2nd initation = I am Brahman lady, Ksatriya lady ...
3. when a person is not nice to us in their actions toward others and toward yourself, you can keep your good works, and distance ourselves from them, these associations? or is offensive to away from devotees, who in this case are complex associations?
ASA - Madhyaman adhikari loves God, avoids the demons, makes friends with the devotees and preaches to the innocent. When we are Uttama adhikaris then we can see everyone as devotee, but in this stage we avoid the demons. If a devotee is 50% demon we avoid that 50%, but if that 50% WANTS to change, if it is willing to accept the instructions of the spiritual master and the scriptures, then we do austerity of associating with them and helping them.
Well, thank you for your time reading this letter.
I understand if you can not answer all my questions! :)
sorry my bad English too.
HpS - ASA - Is nice. Helps me a lot. Let's do few more letters!
