Hare Krsna Dear Guru Maharaja :)

All glories to Sri Sri Gaura Nitai

All glories to Srila Prabhupada

P.A.M.H.O.

first of all I hope you're well and your activities well too.

In this report I can tell, I'm sing 16 rounds of japa, I am following the 4 regulative principles, doing my service garlands for the altar on Tuesdays,reading, Krsna book for of night and upadesamrita.

Again, return to college fter 2 weeks of vacation of winter.

This time, after taking first initiation has been very special, my life is very calm.

I have some questions for you maharaja!!

1. My question is that most of the time, I see that a deity of Lord Hanuman is adored by devotees  for "men", women can  service do to Lord Hanuman  as a protector of us, as well as protecting of he to sita ??  devotees "Woman" can worship the Lord Hanuman too?

HpS - ASA -  AGTSP   paoho.  very nice to hear from you!  5.33AM 8/26.  We have to pack to go to the airport to fly to Cusco!   Hanuman. Yes, it seems very correct that ladies, Sita devi are offering respects to Hanuman. Yet, he is a Brahmacari so I guess it has to be done very strictly in the association of Srila Prabhupada.

2. With respect to accept our nature, and search our ashram, how we balance this, both materially and spiritually. an example:

I have a 25 years old, I'm already 3 years in university, missing 2 years more to complete my profession, took 3 years practicing bhakti yoga, and I want to study hard in Krsna consciousness, , but not  it's my nature to live in an ashram, you think there is a right age to make married life? or is it better to live one time in an ashram to be more stable in the spiritual life? ashram is also necessary for to women?

HpS - I think that if you go on with this Yoga of Japa everything as initiated devotee for at least one more year it will become clear.   For ladies it is not so necessary to stay in the Temple, but our home should be an Ashrama. It is natural for lady's Ashrama to be the home with Mother, Father, Brother, Sister, Cousin. . .     Of course, these can be Spiritual Brother, Sister etc.   Continue chanting and your Ashrama will be come more clear.   1st initiation = I am devotee.   2nd initation = I am Brahman lady, Ksatriya lady ...

3. when a person is not nice to us in their actions toward others and toward yourself, you can keep your good works, and distance ourselves from them, these associations? or is offensive to  away from devotees, who in this case are complex associations?

ASA - Madhyaman adhikari loves God, avoids the demons, makes friends with the devotees and preaches to the innocent.  When we are Uttama adhikaris then we can see everyone as devotee, but in this stage we avoid the demons. If a devotee is 50% demon we avoid that 50%, but if that 50% WANTS to change, if it is willing to accept the instructions of the spiritual master and the scriptures, then we do austerity of associating with them and helping them.

Well, thank you for your time reading this letter.

I understand if you can not answer all my questions!  :)

sorry my bad English too.

HpS - ASA -  Is nice.  Helps me a lot.     Let's do few more letters!

Your humble servant

Hare Krsna. Dudes.   AGTSP   pfanrh.  Aqui estamos escriviendo esta por la luz se la luna.   We are writinng this by the moonshine.  No electricity here.
We are sorry we didn't answer the Branch reports int he last KDh.   Aqui son respuesta a los Reportajes de Ramas de la ultima KDh desxulpa.

Hare Krsna dear Guru Maharaj

Please accept our humble obeisances <img src="http://us.mg2.mail.yahoo.com/ya/download?mid=1%5f3765%5fABVXiGIAAOajTkAVWQWxLn8JpN0&pid=2&fid=ASA%2520Branches&inline=1" style="margin: 0pt 0.2ex; vertical-align: middle;" />

How are you? how about your health? It's nice to write you and tell you that yesterday it was a great day. 12 hours Kirtan at temple. Despite it was a rainy day there was many people singing the Lord's Names. <img src="http://us.mg2.mail.yahoo.com/ya/download?mid=1%5f3765%5fABVXiGIAAOajTkAVWQWxLn8JpN0&pid=6&fid=ASA%2520Branches&inline=1" style="margin: 0pt 0.2ex; vertical-align: middle;" />
Also, we had a meeting yesterday at Arjuna's appartment. We talked about the steps to follow now in order to create the Centro Cultural ASA Chile. We discussed about what legal form is the most convinient for our purposes. As we talked in our last meeting the main purposes of our Cultural Centre will be -at least at the begining - organizing conferences and publishing books, bulletins, magazines, etc.

Arjuna will be in charge of all the legal formalities in the municipality, Rodrigo Hernandez will be in charge of Department of Publications and Nadia Villar is creating a departament of Translations with the help of another devotee. Rodrigo will contact some foundations and companies in order to get some sponsorship and laksmi through donations and advertising sale. Om Kesavaya will help him in this task.

The first projects for this ASA Branch will be publishing Utsaha II and organizing the LOB simposium in Federico Santa María University. We think that good dates would be May, September, October or November. May be in November it would be great, because Ratha Yatra is in that month and would be very auspicious count on your visit.

Because we are still inspired by your last visit, we send you a link with some photos of conferences and programs. Thank you very much! <img src="http://us.mg2.mail.yahoo.com/ya/download?mid=1%5f3765%5fABVXiGIAAOajTkAVWQWxLn8JpN0&pid=7&fid=ASA%2520Branches&inline=1" style="margin: 0pt 0.2ex; vertical-align: middle;" />

ASA Branch Chile (we are still discussing about the name <img src="http://us.mg2.mail.yahoo.com/ya/download?mid=1%5f3765%5fABVXiGIAAOajTkAVWQWxLn8JpN0&pid=4&fid=ASA%2520Branches&inline=1" style="margin: 0pt 0.2ex; vertical-align: middle;" />)

ASA - Such a nice letter. SOrry we could not ahnswer sooner.  We have to get more organized and more austere!      We have a first bulletin tranlsted by the Department of Translation. We try to read it.   If Santa Universidad is still in strike then maybe organize some other venue and invite the students to an alternative education.
We hope you send you next report.  Getting up early.  Doing Deity service in the Temple is very important for Arjuna and the Brahmanas, no?!   What is the suggested content of Uasaha II?    What does the NOI say is Utssaha??

Hare Krsna

All Glories to Sri Sri Gouranitay, Srila Prabhupada and You Maharaja, My name is Pablo, from santiago-Chile, I have 24 years old, I live with my parents and my younger brother. I studied graphic design for 5 years, I'm Sorry for not writing this email before, I know it was hard to tell about me. What I can tell is that in this time I tried to be a good devotee. I try to get up as early as possible is almost always between 6 and 7 in the morning, singing my Japa during the day. During the last 6 or 7 years I have participated in the "Fiesta Prabhupada" cooking, have not been straight, but in these last three years I have remained fixed . This year I worked with Trivikrama Das in the restaurant of the temple, but a month ago we stopped doing it, for the problems that exist in the country with students and government. In my free time I try to do things like write songs or poems, tattoos, make paintings or visit to my friends from the temple. waiting to serve you, Bhakta Pablo. (attached photographs of some of the things I do...)

HPS - ASA ---- AgtSP    Thank you so much for meeting you.  It is so great that you can participate in the sankirtana movement of Lord Chaitanya.  This will certainly give you immortal character and then you can understand who you are! Are you the devotee who made the DVDs for us??

Private: Request for siksa

14 years, 2 months ago by Fallenservant
  •  
    Your Holiness Hanumat Presaka Maharaj,

  • Hare Krishna! Dandavats!

    Please accept my most humble obesences.
    All glories to Srila Prabhupda! All glories to Nitai-Gauranga and His sankirtan mission!

    I am writing to you today to ask for your most needed blessings and most kind help in bringing me up from the material existence into the light of Krishna consciousness. I have been reading Srila Prahbupda's books for approximately one year now, attending temple and rising early for japa around 4am also (16 rounds daily). I have been strictly observing the four regulatory principles and am currently heading up the book distribution efforts here in Houston since July. I have had many challenges but Krishna has always been beside me to push me onwards.

    I most desire to find a spiritual master to aspire to in the next year, and wish to request from a few of Prabhupada's learned disciples to have mercy on me, a fallen servant. Thus I am would sincerely request from you, Maharaj, to accept my request to formally take you as my siksa guru.

    I have enjoyed the classes you have given throughout this year here in Houston. Also, I have been listening to you speak on Skpe on The Nectar of Instruction, Srimad Bhagavatam and watched or listened to many lectures and classes online. Your teachings are vey clear to me and I take a wonderful example from your devotion to the Supreme Lord. Please contact the Houston temple president Syamsundara Das Prabhuji for any reference at: [email protected] or 713-459-4327.

    I will be spending some time in Sri Vrindavan Dham during this Kartik. Your wonderful disciple Jiva Goswami Prabhu is a good friend and he suggested that I come in October when you are also to be there. I have booked a ticket for mid-October to be there also, along with a visit to Sri Mayapur Dham.

  • I pray this message finds you in good health and good spirits. I also pray for the kindness of your frank reply and thank you in advance for such causeless mercy.Please excuse my rude interruption in your service, but I only ask for your forgiveness and kind instruction for here forward.
  • Awaiting your honest reply, I remain always your insignificant servant,

  • HpS - ASA -  Jaya.  Please forgive the one week, two day delay in answering.   We are in Peru and with a ton of work.  It is the mercy of God that this moron embecile can write to you at all.  In general, we do not take Siksa-guru role aa formality. Especially before initiation.  Then it is Vartmana pradarsika Guru.      He is a really fine link for some discussion of Guru by Srila Prabhupada.
  • I am cursed that I cannot exactly remember you, but your name sounds really familiar.  We get to USA next Wednesday, so maybe we can talk then. Our cellular should be 209 505-3219.
  • Our schedule for India etc is at our Calendar site:
  • www.JayaRama.us/kd/cal.txt
  • Basically I recommend have a clear idea of Prabhupada as the Founder Acharya for you, me and anybody else in ISKCON and then on that basis get shelter of Diksa-guru and Siksa-guru.
    Any other questions?
