How to preach to no devotees?

13 years, 3 months ago by Guna Manjari

All Glories to Srila Prabhupada!

All Glories to Sri Sri Guru and Gauranga!

Hare Krsna Guru Maharaj, It has been a lot time without writing, the truth is that I didn’t had anybody that could translate the letter before.

I’m writing to give to you my report of the last time:

Ronds: yes, 16 ronds everyday

Principies: yes, the 4 regulative principles

Sadhana:  more less, sometimes I read Srila Prabhupada and assist to the temple clases, listen to kirtanas and bhajans, but getting up early cost me because of the cold.

ASA - Jaya Prabhupada!    Thanks translation and translator.      Get up and stay wrapped up and chant.

Permanent service: yes, I continue cooking the sweets berfi and sandesh for Their Lordships (The Deities) once a week.

I want to ask you: what is the better way and what do you recommend me that is good to preach to no devotees? It’s hard for me to preach to no devotees, I had given books of Prabhupada , some people is interested and they make me questions but I can’t awake the real interest in them. Please tell me what I have to do.

I hope that you are well Guru Maharaj. We have been meeting with my spiritual brothers to organize your visit; I’m the secretary and charge to diffuse every relevant information. See you on your visit to Chile.

Please accept my most humble and eternal obeisances

Your servant Guna Manjari Devi Dasi.

ASA - We cannot preach to them until Krsna gives them a good swift kick in the rear end!   Then they, we, are will to listen.     Only dying men can see God.  Some commit suicide according to the tenets of their religion, some are killed by the Agents of God, but only drowning men can de Krsna.    So we can give them the words of our Spriritual Master when they are drowning and then they will understand.  So look for drowning men!  (Or women).

Jesus was a sailor when he walked upon the water,

  And he spent a long time watching from a lonely wooden tower.

Until he knew for certain only drowning men could see Him.

Then he said all men shall be sailor's then until the sea has freed them, but he himself was broken, forsaken almost human as he sunk beneath your wisdom like a stone.....    But you  want to travel with him and you want to travel blind for he's touched your perfect body with his mind.

Prabhupada!!!

AGTSP!!!!!

These days I've been thinking a lot about the letter sent by Mitravinda dd and her relationship with her mother ... Often suffer or disturbs me because I think that many things depend on me, whether in work, family, devotional service, etc. But forget that Krishna delivered to all what belongs to every living creature you are given full protection by order of the Lord. I find it hard to apply this to my life, but with your instruction I can.

There is little time for his visit to Chile, I hope with joy your visit, you are my inspiration to continue this process of Krishna consciousness and to contribute a grain of sand in the mission of Srila Prabhupada.

Your aspiring servant,
Bhakta

ASA -  Jaya Srila Prabhupada!!!  ! !  !!!!            !                   Just keep on chanting.  Nothing else matters.  Everything else will come from that!!!!!! .

Hare Krishna beloved Gurudeva!!

AGSP!!PAMHO! Hope you´re great and happy as always! Gurudeva..just I wanna remember and share  that it´s already been passed 6 months since Your visit to Nova Gokula,it seems like yesterday,times go  really fast... and actually today May 27th it´s been 6 months that You´ve given to 6 spiritual godbrothers(Pañca Tattva das/Arg, Pratibhanu das, Madhavendra  Puri das /Chile, Madhavendra Puri das/Arg , Abhimanyu das  and myself) the mercy on chanting the gaytri mantra and have the blessing in serving directly Krishna.

Since that soooooooo many wondreful things has happend  in my spiritual...Today  was doing the Mangala Aratik here in Buenos Aires and  it ´s passed like a video in my mind about that auspicious and perfect day... I´ve got chicken bumps in remember it...it was a perfect sunny and hot day,great and unique natural enviroment from Nova Gokula...and what´s  improved everything it was Your presence and also Maharaja Dhavantari´s presence...it was really crowd the temple that day after the cerimony You´ve lead all of us to teach how to chant the gaytri mantra...unforgetable I still have the paper and the flower petal  that You gave us...

I just wanna tell You that You´ve given us the most precious and intimate jewel in Krishna´s Counciousness...and lots of responsablities too. i´ll never be able in put in words how much I´m grateful for Your mercy..Thank U sooo much Gurudeva, for Your confidence and mercy.All my activities and services are to please Krishna, Prabhupada, You and devotees. Hope one day I would be near of doing that...Miss U Gurudeva!
Your humble and eternal servant,Radha Madana Manohara dd  

ASA - AGTSP    paoho.    It is Goose Bumps, not Chicken Bumps.    Gooses are more elegant than Chickens.  Maybe even better would be Swan bumps.      We hope you just explode while chanting Gayatri and go to God!   Hare Krsna!    Don't stay here anymore.   Just go to Krsna and talk to Him!!!

HARE KRISHNA QUERIDO GURUDEV!

13 years, 3 months ago by devaki_nandana_das

HARE KRISHNA!

Please accept my humble obeisences. All glories to Srila Prabhupada.

I'm in Argentina, studing Counseling (Carl Roger psicology). We are living in La Plata, there are some devotees here. We are building our house, now the altar, bathroom, kitchen and bedroom are finish. 

We are doing preaching programs every week.

Our japa sometime is good and sometime is bad. I´m chanting 16 rounds every day.  Sometimes i'm filling less sabor chanting my rounds. I'dont now why, may be offences, or may be bad chanting.

I'm praying every day for Krsna´s mercy. In Mayapur or Vrndavana, our spiritual life was almost perfect. Here in our country, and in the Grhasta life we are going throw some dificulties. 

I'm following the four regulative principles (but many times the sutil sex come to my mind), and sometimes i dont chant the gayatri mantra. My SB lecture is not good. We are working many hours during the day.

What can I do gurudev?

I woud like to see you dear gurudev.

You servant devaki-nandana das.  

HpS - AGTSP   pamho.  Thank you 110% for your letter.   (What happened to Cristina, Anna's sister in Lima????)                                    What to do?      I only know what I do....   try to do better.   Try to do all may Japa everyday well and read and write.     Boop.     That's all.   Other stuff we just do the best we can and realize that Krsna is doing 90% of the work, at least.   It's easy to be KC in Vrndavana Mayapura, but to bve KC in West is hard, but even a little bit is intense example for others!!!        KEeep on trying.  Keep on trying!   It works, it works, keep on trying!!!
