Sadhana Report - Bhaktin Cruz Santa

13 years, 8 months ago by Cruz Santa

All glories to Srila Prabhupada
All glories to you, dear Maharaja

Please accept my humble obeisances. About 2 months since I write, but I wanted to do it several times, I stopped because I did not want to distract from their occupations, in addition to reading the blog, helps me solve some doubts

Mataji Asta Sakhi dd, suggested I send a small biography, so that in response to this suggestion I would send it.
Name: Cruz Santa Manuel Hernandez
Date of birth: 09/14/1982
e-mail: [email protected]
we have various years of knowing Krsna consciousness, but about 3 years after it was taken seriously, chanting 16 rounds and following principles.
Services in the Temple: For about 2 years, we service wreaths for their Lordships Sri Sri Radha Madhan Gopal 4 days a week. Since then, we also participate in this service during all the festivities and often with the decoration of the temple. For  approximately 1 year, served as responsible of the room with flowers. My authorities are Prabhu Maitreya y Prabhu Bhaktavatsala. We are also participating in the Sunday program since its inception a couple of weeks.

Sadhana: We maintain regular Sadhana, we got up at 4:00 am but sometimes fail, particularly after the festivals. 4 principles   and   16 rounds  daily. Regular reading of the books of Srila Prabhupada

Sankirtan: It costs us a little work, but try to distribute at least a book a day.
Study and exercise, accounting, we are in the grihastha ashram, my husband is Bhakta Erick, who also feels great sympathy for his preaching.

I appreciate your attention, dear Maharaja, please forgive my offenses and please also
to give me his blessing to try to always serve Srila Prabhupada and the Vaisnavas.

Your aspiring servant
Bhaktin Cruz  Santa

madhavendra puri das

HpS -  Jaya  AGTSP   pamho.   We got up at 3.30AM.    Japa, Mangala arati, emergency e-mails, train to Barcelona (300KM/Hour) while writing our Bhakti Vaibhava material, immediately run from train to BIG TV interview, run to Temple for our BhVai internet class with Peru, run to the Tibet center for SUPER program with all the seats full of LOB movie, run back to the Temple for our 9PM meeting with NIMSAR, educational group in Peru....   All night DRUMS, DRUNKS, TOBACCO.   Thousands of people here for celebrations!

O.K

This is a great way to die!     Jaya!

Manipur.  We have some telephone contact with them.  Things are half way organized.  We can certify NOTHING!    Yet, usually it is O.K. or at least tolerable and the experience can be super of the Vaisnava culture.

Here are the phone numbers:

Guna-mani Das 91 (India) 98567 408 64

Radha-carana Das 91 94 02880 155

They are both like 40-50 years old, very nice devotees. Speak English.  You can say that I said that you should call and confirm your travel time etc.   We are trying to get things fixed by e-mail and a nice Sankirtan program.

hare krsna maharaj

its has been over 5 yrs i have been associated with KC movement. i think i have quote good analytical/ philosophical understanding. I am not yet intiated. I am stricly following 3 rules and rules of illicit sex is dwindling. My rounds are fixed 16 over a long  period of itme. my mornin program has just got better in last few months.  My prasadam taking is very poor. My association iw very weak as i dont have like minded people ( varna- asrama)  with me.

My family members are nuetral though some times  opposite .

from student life. i never wanted to earn money or earn good grades. but wanted to know new relevant concepts. therefore its very difficult for me to just work for money. even though i am married.

in five years i have been able to see changes in my thinking the way i see the world. my prespective

however behaviour wise i dont find change in myself ? frankly i am not feeling the bliss or even happpiness i am supposed to fill. there is sense of dissatisfaction all the times in me.

I beg  you to identify faults/ problems with me..

HpS - ASA -  Jaya!   Hare Krsna!      Well, one thing is that everybody is different. Srila Prabhupada accepted Srila Bhaktisiddhanta in his heart as his Guru at their first meeting but it was 11 years later, no, before he took formal initiation.

One ISKCON Sannyasi told me that he was attached to smoking and anger when he met Srila Prabhupada.  The smoking habit left quickly, but after 20-years he still had problem controling his anger.

Some attachments are deep, others shallow. Some people are making progress from previous lives, some are just starting this life.

So, we really have to be very personal in judging our progress in one aspect.

That you are still here is BIG result.  Not convinced that success comes from mental speculation or possessions.

Of course, until we can follow the 4-principles strictly it like trying to start a fire while pouring water on it.   However, there is always some result from chanting.

So, I think you are doing pretty well. I think you have accelerated a lot in the last year, no?

Do you offer everything to Krsna before you take?   Do you strictly avoid grains cooked by Karmis????

  By singing sweet songs and by dancing nicely, all the gopis satisfy the treasured Divine Couple.

Bhakta Adrian from Hawaii

13 years, 8 months ago by BhaktaAdrian

Hare Krishna Gurudeva

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

Well, I've come to find that this Hawaii temple isn't the best place for spiritual advancement haha. It's really tough. I have been able to maintain my standards since I've came here. But there aren't any really serious devotees here. Association isn't as good as in New Dvaraka. But I'm hanging in.

I've starting to think that Krishna sent me here to pull some of these devotees together. I've taken it upon myself to start organizing more programs here. We're also going to have a program at the University once a week. There are a good handful of youth devotees in this area that have some Bhakti in their hearts but this temple hasn't provided a good outlet for them. Since I've started organizing them and getting them engaged in seva things have started to look up for them. They all seem excited to get involved so I'm glad for them.

There is a heavy situation with the Narayana devotees here I hvave come to find out. That also makes me slightly nervous. I don't know about them, nor have I met any of them. But I have heard some negative things about them. They have come around when we have harinama, but it hasn't been a problem. There hasn't been any sort of confrontation since I've been here, but I've been told that there have been in the past.

I'm sure everything is going well for you?

Thank you,

Haribol,

your humble servant,

Bhakta Adrian

ASA-HpS - Super!    AgtSP!!!!       paoho.     What are their names, Bhaktas?    Narayana Maharaja is a Siksa disciple of our Acharya, Srila Prabhupada and Srila Prabhupada says that in this movement we require everyone to follow the four principles strictly and chant 16-nice rounds a day, rise by 4AM for Kirtana and Mangala-arati and Srimad Bhagavatam class. Jaya!

No, conflict if one is actually following Narayana Maharaja!

More news, more news!    How is the President!
