Candrabhanu Das CHILE

13 years, 8 months ago by Candrabhanu Das

Hare Krsna! TLGASP y Sri Sri Guru Gouranga.

Hare Krsna Guru Maharaja!! I have not talked to U since the day of my initiation... July 23rd 2011. During that time I have been facing some personal difficulties emotionals basically. First Prahlada Nrishma das is deprived of freedom. I have been trying to be helpful regarding this situation, I gave interviews about this case in a legislative and university level.(as a witness in the appeals and next trial). I have been facing problems with my family because they criticize my life as a devotee which makes my relationship with my family weaker.

Regarding my Spiritual life I follow the 4 principles, chant my 16 rounds, I also cook for the Srila Prabhupada Feast on Fridays. I am reading "The teachings of Lord Caitanya"

Devotees have offered me to cook for the deities what do You think? Should I take it??

Do You recommend me to do something more??

I hope your health is ok

Your servant

HpS - ASA - AgtSP Pamho. It is 2.30AM we have been chanting Japa since 1.30AM. We have to bathe by 3.00AM and then leave for the buses to Varsana by 3.30AM!

Family and state were also unfavorable to Jesus Christ, but we go on trying to engage them and avoiding them when we can't help them. Very happy that Krsna, the real son and citizen is giving them perfect, happy lessons where we cannot help.

Your program seems fine, except, any rerport of the RESULTS of your Japa and your reading!!!

Fanatism & strictness

Hare Krsna, AGTSP, PAMHO, AGT you

this question refers to various segment/types of rules .

ASA TB/BW - AGTSP Hare Krsna! What does "segment/types rules" mean!!!?

i know we need to have high sublte intelligence to get this answered, understand and apply. we dont have such intelligence, but we still are asking, because we think we have already made a mess of our life and linked to others both materially and spiritually.

1. which rules are indepedent of time , place and circumstances.

ASA - If you are a pure devotee, none of them. Arjuna's rules and regulations all depended on the moments changes of the battle! In heaven or hell however we have to follow the four principles and chant 16 nice rounds daily minimum!

2. how do we understand what is principle of what is detail.

By smoking marajuana and riding bicycles, but we have to give that up to understand them properly.

3. how do we know we are following strictly instead of fanatically (niyama-āgraha).

Because Krsna is in our heart and He will make us feel proper if we are doing it for Him and not for our honor and prestige.

4. we read SP books which gives us so many instructions, how do we know which one we have to apply. for example we thought these series of verses [SB 2.2.4 -2.2.5] are meant for every devotee.

TB - Don't know those verses from memory!!

But later we realized after commiting mistakes for months this verse is for sannyasi not householder.

please enlighten us.

we have more question in such lines ,but wait for you reply

regards,

harsh

TB - ASA - Very good questions, but basic principle is to always chant Hare Krsna. If you have any doubt what to do chant Hare Krsna. Getting up eary and getting your rounds done well is the first principle. You should always do that.
Are you doing it?

Until you are a little advanced in that your other questions won'te be very valuable!!!
Tell us the results of your efforts in this area.

Hawaii news

13 years, 8 months ago by BhaktaAdrian

Hare Krishan Dear Gurudev

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

No, we don't hear and chant with catholics, but I don't see why we couldn't? Our philosophy is non-sectarian, so I speculated that we could hear and chant with anyone? Caru, from Utah, has chanted Hare Krishna with people from all different sects of religion. I think we could hear and chant with them, if they were willing. If we could all just overcome our false ego, and stop identifying ourselves with any given sect of religion, then we could all hear and chant together. But that is just my opinion. What do you think?

How does the system of marriage work?

I hate to repeat myself, but I'm still curious if you can make it either to Hawaii, or Utah after I return there? What would help make either of those trips possible?

I wish there was more service I could do for you. I feel like I'm not doing enough. If there is anymore I can do, please let me know.

Your humble disciple,

Bhakta Adrian

HpS - AGTSP pamho. Thank yo so much or you letter. We are running through the sun and dust and trash and horns and broken glass to K Balarama's arati. I don't think we can make it to Hawaii or Utah soon. but God only knows. System of marriage is that you dont think about it to much until you are gettting ready for second initiation. So we chant with Catholiocs. But they have Jesus for an Acharya so we have to appreciate these diference and adjust. So with other followers of Bh Siddhanta we have to adjust for the detials! Jaya. NoI.

Runningf!

First of all, thank you very much for your reply. My health is quite better. I went to a natural therapies center and I am using Bach Flowers to treat my vertiginous syndrome, among other diseases. I notice my concious is better and my mind is much submissive. 4 principles OK. I am chanting 10 rounds daily. I get up at 6:00 am everyday and trying to chant at least 2 rounds before going to work and reading LOB in the morning. I lost my japamala in my way to work l</cite>ast week <img alt="frown" src="http://hps-d6.monkeywarrior.com/sites/all/libraries/ckeditor/plugins/smiley/images/confused_smile.gif" title="frown" />. I dropped it in the metro station accidentally. Fortunately, I had a mala made by seeds at home and I am chanting it now.

<cite>Besides working I am studing tourism, because I want to be no longer a teacher. <img alt="" src="http://hps-d6.monkeywarrior.com/sites/all/libraries/ckeditor/plugins/smiley/images/a11.gif" title="" /> So, time is gold for me. I am trying to collaborate with Rodrigo hernandez Prabhu in translations for Utsaha and supporting him in his ideas for ASA Chile... we go forward step by step.</cite>

<cite>Lately, I have association with Raman Reti, she is a great friend and support. Hope to have the strenght to improve my sadhana this week and chant 16 rounds as I used to. </cite>

<cite>Thank for your patient. </cite>

<cite>HpS AGTSP pamho Very nice. Please the other three, four letters posted before this one. YOu will see that there are many, many, people with same challenge as you. Including me. So next report you should be chanting 10 rounds daily at least and then you can make a vow to chant more because you see that it helps you in every way!</cite>

Candramukhi's report

Hare Krsna Beloved Gurudeva:

AGTSP,AGTU, PAOHO

I am struggling with my sadhana sometimes I am so so tired that I was falling sleep while chanting.... :( then my day was awful but little by little I am better...I force my donkey to work jeje

We organized a festival in order to please the deities in wilson last week, we involved so many people in Gaura nitay's service. Murti murti mataji along with Kamalamanjari his daughter were preparing delicious sweet preparations for the deities, also Rohini kumara das the day before, Harinam salty preparations, and many other devotees brought preparations for THem, also we had a very nice abhishek performed by Jivashakti prabhu .

we also had a very nice drama by Ramasundarya das, Yasoda dd (HpS) and kamala also participated there...

and most importantly he HAD LOTS OF HEARING AND CHANTING... Harinam prabhu gave the class and he highlighted the importance of changing our character by doing pujari.

Everybody had the opportunity to took some maha prasadam it was a nice festival that is our humble effort

Today I finished reading canto 2 chapter 2 and started chapter 3 thank U very much Gurudeva for your inspiration without that I do not even had the strenght to read.

In my heart are your words from last class HEARING AND CHANTING IS THE ESSENCE OF DEITY WORSHIP jayyy.

Madhu manjari 's Hanuman deity is now in our home I am vey happy He is protecting my sister mother and myself

Ulises say hello he is terrible he is destroying everything but still he has the opportunity to try some mahaprasadam jayyyyyyyyy

Always indebted with U
