Nuestra humilde opinión


Dear Gurumaharaja,

Please accept our respectful obeisances.

All glories to Srila Prabhupada!


Thank you very much for your association.

We look forward to hearing from you.

It is completely understandable that the South American tour must wait; we recall you once saying that, at times, the treatment can be worse than the disease itself. With that in mind, we will remain more attentive regarding future opportunities.


You are so thoughtful to consider fulfilling the travel plans for January, but please know that you are under no obligation to us.

We agree with you—after a few weeks in Houston, things will become clearer; as you mentioned, Lord Nrsimhadeva will inspire the devotees.


We can resume planning for Mexico whenever Lord Nrsimhadeva deems it appropriate.


If I may, I would like to share a thought I have had over the last few years.

The tours to Mexico and South America are very intense because the dates follow one another consecutively. I humbly suggest that they could perhaps take place at separate times. Mexico could always serve as a stopover—if necessary for the sake of a more economical ticket to South America—but given its proximity to the United States, it could also be the focus of a separate visit, lasting one or several days. Of course, this would mean two distinct tours within the year, but it might allow us to better manage and conserve your energy. What do you think, Gurumaharaja?


Thank you very much for your time and your example, and thank you for documenting your own Ayurvedic treatment for the sake of preaching.


Your eternal aspiring servant,

Asta Sakhi dd

Yes, the body is detoxified (?) and we are starting renovation.

Born again!


Yes. Good idea is "Mexico is a suburb of Texas".


[Or Texas is a suburb of Mexico].


We will wait until USAto cancel the Aero Mexico ticket to see if Lord Nrsmhadeva plans to guarantee our ticket.

😃


Gauranga!!! Let us go to the next letter.

Querido Gurumaharaja 

Por favor acepte nuestras respetuosas reverencias.

Todas las glorias a Srila Prabhupada! 


Muchas gracias por su asociación.

Estamos atentos a sus noticias. 

Es totalmente comprensible que la gira a Sudamérica deba esperar, recordamos que una vez nos dijo que muchas veces el tratamiento es peor que la misma enfermedad, en ese sentido estaremos más alertas para las próximas oportunidades. 


Usted es tan atento que está pensando en cumplir con los viajes de Enero pero no tiene ninguna obligación con nosotros. 

Estamos de acuerdo con Usted, después de algunas semanas en Houston las cosas serán mas claras, como menciona, el Señor Nrsimhadeva inspirará a los devotos.

 

Nosotros podemos retomar la planificación para México cuando el Señor Nrsimhadeva esté de acuerdo. 


Si me permite, quiero aprovechar en externar un pensamiento que he tenido en los últimos años. 

Las giras: México - Sud América son muy intensas porque las fechas son continuas, humildemente pienso que podrían ser en fechas separadas, México siempre puede ser una escala de descanso, si es necesario para un ticket económico para Sud America, pero al estar más cerca a Estados Unidos puede tener otro periodo de visita de uno o muchos días, porsupuesto significa dos giras distantes en el año pero posiblemente podamos lograr dosificar y cuidar mejor su energía, que le parece Gurumaharaja? 


Muchas gracias por su tiempo y ejemplo, muchas gracias por la documentación de su propio tratamiento pancha karma en aras de la predica.

Que el Señor Nrsimhadeva lo proteja.


Vuestra eterna aspirante a sirviente 

Asta Sakhi dd

Question on BG 2.2 and 2.6: Arjuna’s “impurities” and his “complete control” and "enlightement"

1 week ago by Namacarya das in Hot Topics


Dear Guru Maharaj, all glories to Srila Prabhupada!

Please accept my humble obeisances.

Hare Krishna!


I hope you are recovering from your travels and panca karma treatment.


HpSwami - AgtSP! ‼️

paoho & bw....

.... guess it is not recovering but rebuilding.


pancha karma breaks down the rusty structure of the gross body accumulated by years of distressed action and allows us to build a better tool based upon better activity.



I’m writing because I’ve been studying the Second Chapter of the Bhagavad Gita and have a question that I can’t settle on my own. I’d be grateful for your guidance.


In the purport to 2.2, Srila Prabhupada describes Arjuna’s lamentation as “impurities” that are “unbecoming,” and he calls his refusal to fight “an act of cowardice” that befits non-Āryans. In 2.1 he says this conduct “was not expected from him.”


But in the purport to 2.6, the same Arjuna is described as someone who “was not only a great devotee of the Lord but also highly enlightened and had complete control over his mind and senses,” and it concludes that “Arjuna was quite fit for liberation.”


I understand that both statements are meant for their own verses, and that Arjuna’s desire to beg rather than enjoy a kingdom does show detachment. Still, I get stuck on the strength of the words. Also, on keeping the verses in context, i.e., understanding that they are part of the book and do not stand alone for themselves.


If someone has complete control over mind and senses, how can he also be overcome by impurities?


If Arjuna can be called ‘highly enlightened’ and in ‘complete control of his mind and senses,’ and yet still act in a way Srila Prabhupada calls unbecoming, then I don’t understand what those words are meant to convey. In 2.7, Arjuna himself says his mind is confused and he doesn’t know his duty. How can I reconcile this with ‘complete control'.



My own attempt at an answer is this: Arjuna may be free from greed and from craving for enjoyment, but still attached to his family, and these are two different kinds of attachment. Or perhaps Srila Prabhupada is describing Arjuna’s true position and qualification, while the confusion is a temporary situation, or even a role he plays so that the Gita can be spoken for our benefit. But I’m not sure I’m understanding it rightly, and I don’t want to settle for an answer just because it sounds comfortable.



So, in a way, my questions are:

  1. How should I understand strong words like “complete control” and “highly enlightened” when they appear next to Arjuna’s evident grief and confusion?
  2. Is it correct to see Arjuna’s confusion as real, or as a pastime for our instruction?
  3. How should I approach this kind of tension when I meet it in other places in Prabhupada’s books?

I ask with respect and a sincere wish to understand. Please forgive any offense in the way I’ve put things.


Thank you for your time and grace.


Trying to be... your servant,

Namacarya Das


HpS/ASA - I, agtSP, understand that under his control his mind and senses are becoming contaminated, to show us the Bhagavad Gita.


We heard that Srila P'pada said that Arjuna forgot who Krsna was but he never ceased to love Him.


He let his lower memory become contaminated because he understood the desire of Krsna.

O. K.?.

Recato y castidad en el hombre

1 week ago by bhaktadamian in DTC

Hare Krishna Gurudev

Pamho

AgtSP

AgtYou


I am Deva Vrata das from Argentina.


Dear Gurudev, first of all, thank you for your daily association with Gotometing, both in "Japa Joe" and in "Full Morning Program."


It is only because of your immense compassion that you are in this world, to help us stay on the path of Krishna consciousness and to serve His Divine Grace Śrīla Prabhupāda.


I have been reflecting on the topic of chastity (castidad) and modesty (recato) in men.


Looking for instructive scriptural passages, as far as I could see, we could say that the basis of modesty and chastity in men is:

* brahmacharya (celibacy) – even for married men –

* not having unnecessary associations with women or men overly attached to women (maintaining appropriate distance)

* being serious, grave, and intelligent in spiritual advancement and relationships


In this regard, I recorded an audio in Spanish with several verses from the Bhagavatam on this topic, on a Telegram channel: 《Chastity and Modesty in Men (Quotes from the Śrīmad Bhāgavatam)》

👇

https://t.me/Fragmentos_SByCC/147


Some of the Bhagavatam texts concerning this topic are: 1.11.36; 3.31.32-40; 7.12.1-11; 7.14.11; 9.19.17; 9.6.51; 6.1.62-63; 5.2.7-14; 11.8.13-14; 11.14.29-30; 11.26.3; 5.5.2... and many more.


Gurudev, what else could you teach about modesty (recato) and chastity in men?


Thank you Gurudev.

HpS - AgtSP. the only thing that comes to our mind is, I think, from BG purport, SP explains that Brahmacary means moving with God. So it begins with chastity of the tongue 👅.

Hearing and talking about Krsna.

Using electronic media carefully.
