Todas las Glorias a Srila Prabhupada

Querido Gurudeva, por favor acepte nuestras humildes reverencias!

El día de hoy, celebramos el programa mensual de Sadhana en México Mandir, fue un programa muy extático,  aunque la mayoría de los devotos viajaron a un programa de predica en Uruapan, el Mangal Aratik reunió a varios Vaisnavas, entre ellos a sus sirvientes  Prabhu Laghu Bhagavatamrita D., Madre Asta Sakhi, Madre Jambavati, Bhaktin Sarahi, Bhaktin Atenea y  Bhaktin Cruz Santa, y para finalizar el maravilloso programa una magnifica clase  dada por Prabhu Mahaphala.

Madre Gopi Radha D.D.  Realizo el programa de Sadhana desde su casa, Prabhu Janardana, Prabhu Sacinandana  Das Bramachary, Prabhu Paundra Das Bramachary y Bhakta Arturo  se encuentran participando en el programa de predica en Urupan.

Continuamos con este modesto esfuerzo, impulsados por la fuerza  que nos infundio su más reciente visita, estamos decididos a tomar refugio de su auspiciosa asociación, ejemplo e inspiración.

Muchas Gracias

Su aspirante a sirviente
Bhaktin Cruz Santa

"the spiritual master's order should be taken as the prime duty of life. If one gets a bona fide spiritual master and acts according to his direction, then his perfection of life in Krsna consciousness is guaranteed."  Bg 18.57

"TRANSLATION: When all the sons of Pracinabarhi left home to execute austerities, they met Lord Siva, who, out of great mercy, instructed them about the Absolute Truth. All the sons of Pracinabarhi meditated upon the instructions, chanting and worshiping them with great care and attention.

PURPORT

It is clear that to perform austerities or penances, or, for that matter, any form of devotional service, one has to be guided by a spiritual master. Here it is clearly stated that the ten sons of Maharaja Pracinabarhi were favored by the appearance of Lord Siva, who, out of great kindness, gave them instructions regarding the execution of austerities. Lord Siva actually became the spiritual master of the ten sons, and in turn his disciples took his words so seriously that simply by meditating upon his instructions (dhyayantah) they became perfect. This is the secret of success. After being initiated and receiving the orders of the spiritual master, the disciple should unhesitatingly think about the instructions or orders of the spiritual master and should not allow himself to be disturbed by anything else. This is also the verdict of Srila Visvanatha Cakravarti Thakura, who, while explaining a verse of Bhagavad-gita (vyavasayatmika buddhir ekeha kuru-nandana, Bg. 2.41), points out that the order of the spiritual master is the life substance of the disciple. The disciple should not consider whether he is going back home, back to Godhead; his first business should be to execute the order of his spiritual master. Thus a disciple should always meditate on the order of the spiritual master, and that is perfectional meditation. Not only should he meditate upon that order, but he should find out the means by which he can perfectly worship and execute it." SB 4.24.16

BJB:PAMHO AGTSP! Since I have been a devotee for many years already and have not ever been formally initiated yet, I have learned to become directly attached to Srila Prabhupada as the person I (as it says here) always meditate on and make his words my life and soul. If you do the initiation I would like to continue this. Is that ok with you?

 I ask this because I notice that in different circles of devotees that have been initiated by different guru's it seems that either the guru or the initiated devotee try to or has developed this mood directly with their initiator and not directly with Srila Prabhupada.  I feel this mood (as stated above in the 2 Prabhupada quotes) directly with Prabhupada and in you being the initiator I want it to only increase.

Thanks so much!

HpS - AGTSP  paoho.   Certainly.  Wouldn't have it any other way!  Krsna is the ultimate Guru, no? And as we advance we see Trnad apri sunicena... How everyone is his representative in different ways  So Srila Prabhupada is the Founder Acharya of ISKCON, somebody else is responsible for making decisions about printing books, somebody else is super inspiration and technical guru for us in our Sankirtana.  Drona acharya was the Astra guru for the Pandavas.  All of these Gurus know their relative positions and co-operate to serve each other.

If you want to take me in my little position as a representative from Prabhupada in this perspective then you can hear FROM MY LIPS that I heard FROM SRILA PRABHUPDA'S lips, that he would never die, he would live forever in his books.  Now people can here that FROM YOU LIPS!

My humble obeisances Gurumaharaj, I have recently been complimented on my work to do a great job as an engineer, but I did not care that flatters me, because if I try to dothe right thing is for service to Krishna and Krishna-conscious act, and SrilaPrabhupada explains that "the act Krisnha consciousness, one can give you themaximum service to all, that is, the self, family, society, etc."
I'm trying to make arrangements to distribute books.
Gurumaharaj, how I can do to serve you better?
Waiting for your visit Chile, Your aspiring servant,
Bhakta Manuel  

HpS - AGTSP  pamho. My service is just a little part of Srila Prabhupada's service. See to His service and ours in that perspective.
What is your age?  What kind of engineer are you?

Hare Krsna!   Prabhus!        AGTSP!      Paoho.      We invented these two acronyms!   Did you know that?
[Yes, you already mentioned it 5-times]

Hmmm?    Well anyway.   We just got back to the USA.   You can see our mention of that in other letters.   The letters we receive are pretty cool.  People are stuggling with powerful adversaries.  Hari-lila Das met us at the airport and we came to his home.  He was BIG structural engineer when he was working.  80-story buildings.  He knows so many verses just from his Indian birth.   So nice.
Tonight we go, in 15-minutes, to Ksitiji Kapoor's apartment.   He and his wife are finishing their work to be psychiatrists and they will have about 22-of their colleagues there.  Indians.  With very intense questions.  They expect you to know scripture and have actual experience of what you are presenting from performing real austerities.
Then we are here in Houston until Tuesday and then off to  Tennessee.   A lot happening.  We just chant Hare Krsna and try to see our way through the hurricane to our actual position in Srila Prabhupada's band.  A lot of that is definitely his books.
Be sure to join our asa-pdp Yahoo! group if you want to do Bhakti-vaibhava study with us.

O.K.   More tommorrow.    The cellular phone works!

HpS -        A - G - T - S - P !   So much nice news from Mar.     I only hope that you can inspire me to serve Krsna and His representatives more!     Read BG 5.29.     What do you think of it.

TLGASP Tan mucho buen noticias de Mar.  Solamente espero que puede inspirar me servir mas a Krsna y sus representantes!    Lea el BG 5.29.      En lo cual, que piensas?
