     10.08 PM    -    New Vraja Mandala, Spain,
     Hare Krsna, Prabhus, AGTSP     paoho.

  We, Piggy and Monkey and HpS et al, made it to Spain. It was 27-hours of travel -  Franklin to Nashville,   Nashville to Newark, Newark to Brussels, Brussels to Madrid, Madrid to New Vraja Mandala  -  four airports, three airplanes, two autos.

Yet, when we arrived we could lead Gaura Arati, then had a bath/laundry, Gayatri, melon, banana and burfi Prasadam, BhVai 1.18, NICE meeting with Yadunandan Swami. Tommorrow's planned well.

O.K. now let's read the story of in the KRSNA book Pralambasura and take a little rest.

Was a hard, hard, journey.   Hard, Hard, Hard!    Yet, we did a lot of rounds and reading. Our eyes seem like they will last this year of such intense reading and then we will adjust.

Old age is a good friend for a devotee.

   

It pushes him on to ultimate realization!

DTC Sunday/11 (3.15AM)

Oink!     Oink!

    WHoop!    Whooop!

Here's is HpSwami's Essay for the week.
ASA - BhVai = One chapter, Memorize One verse, Write One page Each Week!

================================================================

SB 1.16

We like our analysis of the verse groups in the above summary. Maharaja Pariksit (MP) assumes the service of protecting the people after his granfathers leave but then he gets a sniff of the appearance of Kali-yuga. So, he goes out to find him and fight or die.

This chapter and the next fit together as a unit very closely. Now we are coming closer and closer to the meeting of MP and Suka-deva Goswami (SG) and thus the appearance of Srimad Bhagavatam (SB), our very means back home, back to Godhead!

There is so much description of the situacion in Kali-yuga in these two chapters. This is important because we have to do our service in Kali-yuga. Also, there is a lot of description of Raja-dhama in Kali-yuga, how ot practically deal with Kali-yuga. We find this interesting because we can replace the words, “King” and “Kingdom”, in the chapters with “GBC” and “ISKCON” and get a very immediate view of what is happening.

These are some of the specific notes that we added to our Index:

Chapter in General

-Kali-yuga = SB 1.16.4,19, 20, 21, 31 Sudras disguised as Ksatriyas, four principles prominent, world become hell for the animals and uninhabitable for saner people, women et al unprotected so seek independence, marriage in name only, brahmanas become expert technicians but morally most degraded, many student, Ajamilas, first symptom is attack on VAD

-VAD = SB 1.16,  M. Pariksit in Relations to Kali-yuga

Text 1 – Bibliography = Three principle Dharma-sastra authors are Manu, Yajnavalkya and Parasara.

Text 2 – VAD = Incest;   Biography = Janamejaya Maharaja.

3 – VAD (Ksatriya) = Satisfied citizens do not revolt.

4 – VAD (Brahman) = Brahmanas, Milk, Mode of Goodness;      VAD (Ksatriya) = Protect cow and Brahmana first.

7.  Biographies (Yamaraja) = Great devotee, likes invitations to Kirtana.

8. Yoga-ladder = Avoid death by becoming accustomed to hear Krsna’s pastimes.

10. Four-regs = “Taking pleasure in gambling”, but is gambling inevitable?; 4-sins are root cause of quarrel.

12. Cosmology = Varsas are Continents, Planets are Dvipas

13. Kaunteya pratijanihi = Devotees never subjected to apparent dangers, these glorify Lord.

20. VAD = General classification to Candalas.

22. VAD = Classifications – Ksatriyas are meant for administration and Brahmanas are meant for knowledge.

25. Four-regs = The best part of valor is to maintain the principles despite all odds.

26-30. Krsna’s Qualities; Cosmology = Krsna is the Control Switch of the material energy; “Sri Krsna Govinda, Hare Murare, He Natha Narayana, Vasudevaya”.

31 VAD = Distinction between animal and human life begins with VAD; Bibliography = Rama-carita-manasa; Biography = Tulsi Das (Supports Brahmana by Birthright)

32 Peace, Prosperity and Friendship; Ecology

33. Demons = Enjoy life even at cost of happiness of others.

35. Biography = Bhumi feels more separation from Krsna than Laksmi.

who is Prahlada Nrsmha of the Planet of the Trees. (Mischief monger!)?

13 years, 8 months ago by Namacarya das

as opposed to Prahlada Nrsmha of the Planet of the Trees.  <img alt="" height="18" src="sites/all/libraries/ckeditor/plugins/smiley/images/16.gif" title="" width="18" /> (Mischief monger!)

PAMHO AGTSP

curiosity is killing me...

I wonder who is that person from Planet of the trees?

Hope my curiosity will not result in "Curiosity killed the cat" <img alt="" src="http://hps-d6.monkeywarrior.com/sites/all/libraries/ckeditor/plugins/smiley/images/34.gif" title="" />

YS ND

HpS - AGTSP    paoho.   This is comment from Tom Brown (a great naughty person).   He is agitating discussion with Prahlada-nrsmha Das, who we initiated, who is great exponent of  pre-1977 BBT books, Don't change anything.  He has nice ideas and arguments, but TB thinks that some things need to be Annotated or corrected in some ways, like the statement in BG that Aryana from the planet of the trees took over for Yamaraja while he was Vidura,  probably was Planet of the Pitrs.    We don't want Srila Prabhupada to look badly.

La mayoría de los Vaisnavas estábamos desde la noche anterior tratando de servir a sus señorías, con preparaciones, decoración, guirnaldas entre otros.  Finalizamos con una hermosa clase acerca del Caintanya Caritamrta, dada por Prabhu Jayadeva Hari  D.

Gran escolar!

pues justamente este día se estaba presentando a Prabhupada la edición en Español del Caintanya Caritamrta Completo.  Bhaktin Sarahi realizó el programa de Sadhana desde su casa.

Durante los festivales de este mes, la decoración del templo estuvo a cargo de Gopi Radha D.D. apoyada por varias Vaisnavas como Bhaktin Alejandra, Bhaktin Atenea, Bhaktin Cruz Santa. Las 108 ofrendas a cargo de madre Jambavati D.D. apoyada por madre Asta Sakhi DD.

Estamos tratando de mantener este esfuerzo, inspirados por la gran misericordia que usted derrama sobre nosotros, decididos a tomar refugio de su auspiciosa asociación, ejemplo e inspiración al seguir los pasos de nuestro querido Srila Prabhupada.

Muchas Gracias

Sus sirvientes

Paoho.

My obeisances.

I am Pablo of the Parikrama, from Spain.

I wish You are well in all conditions.

Please, forgive me Maharaja, for write two times in a little time.

My vow for Bhaktivinoda Thakura is OK, 6 rounds every day, involved and decorated with 10 rounds more every day and 4 principles. Please give to him. I have great reverence and respect for He, i consider him the Godfather of Varuna. One day like today, four years ago, Varuna born.

ASA - Jaya!

I don´t know what to say Maharaja, the only I can say is that i will try my best every day, every hour, at every moment.

Japa fija cada dia es principal!!

I Know Maharaja that I have a lot of problems for not associate more with devotees, but, the obligations that life give to me, I, don´t know resolve in a satisfactory manner for Me, being close to devotees...is possible that things change over time.

My personal verified experience, teaches me, that i can not believe too much im my capabilities for devotional services, i don´t know explain.

Hurts in the soul, not be an example to follow, but, i don´t want live ina dream, or cheat devotees, or Paramatama or myself.

I want to make one vow unto You, 16 rounds fron now until Raghunatha Das disappearance, with Raghunatha Bhatta and Krsnadas Kaviraja.

ASA - La Bruja esta infeliz!

I know it will be hard days. I comfirmed today that I will not to live more with my friend, I go again to the road. It is why is very possible I can see You.

I don´t know yet what i will go to do.

My heart is every day less hard, and i am happy about that.

I hope see You. Thanks.

HARE KRSNA.
