Hare Krsna Maharaj

Referring to previous letter. We did struggle only prasad for around 10 days we some how we were following it. Yesterday our intelligence failed to control our mind and we ate pizza.

Krsna send Mr. dog.  He came near us, was looking at us. We gave me outer circumference of pizza , he ate very quickly and again looked at us. this time we threw the portion of bread little away fro him, he ran and eat. we were subtly enjoying by controlling the dog by his food.

Supersoul said -- this is the way to eat remanents. you have to be dog of god. we will give you remnants when, in quantity and way we like . you just have to accept it. if you are good dog we would take care of you nicely.

then we understood we are not yet son of god, first we have to be good dog of god and guru parampara.

please correct us if what we inferred was right.

regards,

harsh

HpS - ASA ---  Whoop!      Whoop!         Oink!OInnk!!!!!       May we just run behind Srila Prabhupada like dogs in the dust of his footsteps chanting "KRSNA, KRSNA!"

hare krsna maharaj

dandvat pranam..

chankaya pandit says " not even a single moment will come back , if you pay trillions of dollars".

when we see, watch, some times we see death is walking closer to us. we have less time to do whatever we have to do.

this time scarcity mentality has decreased our patience a lot. as our patience decreases so do us our tolerance. 

we want everything to be done quickly, we can not wait for anything. If we have to wait we get fired up or frustrated.

some times  --we become mechanical in all activities , trying to save time every second. and we treat others as machine..

i know some thing is wrong with this mentality of ours, we beg to correct us.

 HpS - ASA - Jaya Srila Prabhupada. What comes to mind is the same answer we gave in the letter from Mother Natalia: We have to investigate and then see that if we focus on the root of the system, Krsna Bhakti, then we will be doing universal service.  All of our desires to serve KRSNA will be accomplished.

That takes investigation.

NOI Three.  Utsahan niscayad..... Enthusiasm is more important than patience but without patience it turns into passion and the result is that we may get more done immediately but in the long run we get less done.

"There's never enough time to do the job right the first time, but then you have to take time to get it done for a second time".

YES,  be enthusiatic to use every second for Krsna perfectly, but understand that unless there is some patience then you will not work so efficiently.

It's a big topic.

NIMSAR REPORT October 7th

13 years, 8 months ago by candra108_mukhi

Hare Krsna Dear Gurudeva

AGTSP, PAMHO

Gurudeva we have our NIMSAR’s meeting on skype this time at 8am on Pasunkusa ekadasi our members for chosica came a little late cause chosica suffered a BLACKOUT…..

 

There was a nice meeting.. It started with Hanuman Swami’s report. He is in Radhadesh right now then he will go to India....Next Year to .mexico , houston san franciso He is working for the Bhakti Vaibhava application

He is collecting all the exams and essays (BHAKTI VAIBHAVA) of His students and then He will send them. As our mentor and teacher He is reading one chapter before His students. He is learning a lot but mostly how to apply all this knowledge.

Hanuman Swami gave us a very nice and pleasant Surprise… He, Monkey and Piggy will be in Peru for Gaura Purnima JAYYYYY The best news ever…TheVaisnava New Year with HpS jayyyyyyyyyyyy.

 

Rakatak has already  got a chip for His cellphone and an  usb for internet contact.. so we are going to have contact with Him during His trip to India JAYYYYYYYYYY

Hanuman Swami will meet Bhakta rupa in India he is going to be present in a meeting in bombay. So we will pay for all our 48 diplomas for BHakti SAstri it means that NIMSAR made 48 new graduated Bhakti sastris jayyyyyyy

 

Hanuman Swami will also meet Yadhu swami He is going to be the director of the meetings in education for GBC.

 

 

Yadhu var prabhu he has shown his story for Srila Prabhupada ,he has the movie of Radha Madana Bihari he wants to visit Peru

 

Hanuman Swami also clarified that in our Bhakti Vaibhava study  we have to focus on .sankirtan how to apply all the things that we have learned. Also we have to do something more specific analyze of the texts, and maintain  our own index.

 

Regarding to the treasurer He advices that basically the thing that is needed is that we have to know from where every penny comes and goes…

 

M Rohini presented some very important doubts about the essays.And Gurudeva explained that we need to be more focus on Sankirtan. And that

the essays are in part to just show that the students are reading the chapters for their own benefit. Also analizing the chapters, the most important thing is sankirtan how we are applying this things in our sankirtan.

 

Then our president Patraka das informed about CEMUL and legally affiliating with them. WE need to be very patient about this. We hope this week they will give him some time.

 

Hanuman Swami will have a meeting with Yadunandan Swami again. Next report we will have the news…..

 

Next meeting on October 24th.

 

Thanks Gurudeva for all your inspiration, the may thing is the association so….we hope to have yours life after life.

 

Your eternal servants

NIMSAR

HpS - ASA -  Ugh!   Very depressing report.   We know this Hanuman Swami, he is at least 25% bunk.   We pray to God that other members of the NIMSAR Branch of ASA come forward with more genius and vigor!!!   Jaya!

All glories to Srila Prabhupada!

Gurudeva  I have some problems to manage my time. At home I feel less strong. However my brother is helping me a lot. He became very serious, he is waking up early, chanting 16 rounds, and he is even doing sankirtan while coming back from the school (every day some books). So he is big help for me. We go together to the programs, and festivals.

We had a super nice program: Radharani’s Tour (organized by Adi Adri mataji and her husband prabhu Jitendriya). We had super powerful kirtan (36 hours kirtan) with BB Govinda Swami, Madhava Prabhu, Ayush Sharma… Maharaja asked devotees to really focus on the chanting, he chastised us to be too distracted. And after that kirtan was fantastic, everybody was more focused, and it marked a difference. Also Madhava Prabhu asked us to focus better, and he explained beautiful points about the meaning of chanting. I really liked those days in association with devotees in kirtan. And I learned a lot from them, from their seriousness to focus on their chanting. And I also became more attracted to do kirtan. I am really grateful to Krsna for those days.

Gurudeva, my program is still irregular. I am not very expert managing my time. I had sometimes rounds for the next day due to my homework, and some days I didn’t wake up at 4am. I know this is not good, and is not what is asked for my initiation. I will work on this, so my next report can be better.

Aspiring to be your servant,

Bhaktin Natalia

HpS - ASA -   AgtSP     paoho.    Thank you so much for the news of Radharani Tour in Peru!        So nice to hear everybody's preaching about Kirtana, the Holy Names.   So nice.

"sraddha sabde visvas kahe sudrda niscaya

   Krsna bhakti kaile, sarva kama krta haya"

Being faithful means to understand than just by doing Bhakti-yoga everything else will be accomplished, like a shadow follows the body, and amongst all of our services chanting 16-nice rounds is the most essential. In this movement Srila Prabhupada requires everyone to rise early, by 4AM, offer Mangala-arati and Kirtana [Brahma muhurta], and in this way we live in Vaikuntha!

It takes practice, but as far as I can see you have made a LOT of progress since we talked in Mayapura two years ago!!!!

Go ahead!
