Re: Re: Kevin - Greetings from Vrindavan

Dear Maharaja,
pamho AGTSP
We are here in Vrindavan and I am engaged in kirtan seva 6 hours a day. I was just in Jagannatha Puri with a group of devotees, and we saw many places. My favorite was the Siddha Bakul tree.  
I hope you are doing well, and we can talk soon. 
your servant,
bhakta kevin
p.s. I finished my B.A. at Rutgers 

HpS -  Jaya!   HAre Krsna!    Super!     We have been thinking about you at times.   What was happening in your trip.     The trip of a lifetime.
Super!

When do you get back to the USA?
We get back March first and then stay until June.
I is good that you finished Rutgers before it finished you!     How is your Japa vrata?   Is it very cold in Vraja?  How long do you stay???

Maharaja,

The 24 hour kirtan party was invited to Brahma Kund for Vasant Pancami, on the invitation of Paramadwaita Swami. The Braj Foundation has cleaned up Brahma Kund and many other Kunds. The garbage has been removed and the kunds have been restored nicely.

I have had the fortunate opportunity to be able to chant a lot of japa here in Vrindavan. I read one reply that you posted saying that the best way to serve your guru is to chant 16 rounds, follow the 4 regulative principles and read Prabhupada's books. This is one intention I have kept in mind before starting to chant my japa.

It has been pretty cold in the mornings so far. Just yesterday on my way to the temple in the morning I could see my breath in the air. Brr!

I will be in Vraja until April 6th, then return back to New Jersey. I would be very happy to see you if possible when I get back.
 Hope this finds you well.
 your servant,
 bhakta kevin
 
 
HpS - Jaya!    Hare Krsna.   I remember us walking around the lake in Tennessee waiting to pick up Tandavika.  We will be in Tennessee in time for Gaura-purnima and then stay for a few months at least.
Today is appearance day of Advaita acharya. We are in Madrid. Has been pretty good effort today.
Yes, our first effort is to chant nice Japa for Krsna, Rama and Radha under the lotus feet of our Acharya, Srila Prabhupada.  Then we should have intelligence to do more service each day.
 
Thank you so, so, so much for writing us with news from Vrndavana.  Please offer our respects to some grass and some more grass there.
We wait for more reports!!!

Devotional service exceeds all kinds of liberation

All glories to Srila Prabhupada!
All glories to Hanumat Presaka Swami!
Dear Guru Maharaja, please accept my humble obeisances, in chapter four of the Nectar of Devotion is mentioned that the Personality of God, do not understand the great souls released, but devotees such as Queen Kunti, but should not be released are people that are attracted by the transcendental qualities of Sri Krishna
Attentive to your instructions, your aspiring servant,
Bhakta Manuel

Monkey - Piggy!   AGTSP   paoho.   We can't follow your English.  Can you send again in Castellano!!  Where are you, Mexico?

Best way to preach trhu the scientific method?? (B.Manuel, Chile)

AGTSP!  AGTHPS! 
[Hare Krsna.  AGTSP.  Some few glories to Hanumatpresaka Swami and you too!] Pamho, recently i wrote you in the blog, my name is Manuel Poblete Morán, I live in Stgo, Chile, I do service in Temple. I attach my pic. I work with many scientist, where only believe in" scientific method", 

What´s the best way to preach Krsna Conciousness  thru the scientific method??

waiting for yours instructions, your aspirant to servant
Bhakta Manuel (Chile)

 [Every case is individual. My humble idea is that you have to listen to people with your ears, head and heart.  What is it they are saying?     Most case we are people before we are scientists or managers or mothers, so we have to listen to people's real questions, desires.
Then....  people are on different levels: Vikarmi, Karmis, Jnanis, Bhaktas ... so you have to learn to classify them and give the medicine proper to their level.

Basically, just get you own self fixed the daily rituals to cleanse you consciousness and then explain to people in your own natural way, what is this material world.   They must be a little sincere. Patient to listen. If you are scientific the words will come out in their language.  If it must be more specific that we can discuss later.  Now just keep clean, expect Krsna to send patient people and explain what is this world.]

I hope  you accept  my bow  of a polluted soul.
I am in Argentina in La Plata of Buenos Aires, everything was very difficult, in society between love and hate there is only  one gap .Life  hits  us  and takes  us to many  circumstances. I wish  to know something  beyond  all, meditate  on mantras, and  some stregth and feel  god´s protection.

I do not Know if it´s a gift  but  anyway i have  this link  that  i did in music  to  different  forms of God...

 Hare Krsna querido Gurudeva
Todas las glorias a Srila Prabhupada
Todas las glorias a Parama karuna Sri Sri Gaura Nitay
Espero que la presente lo encuentre bién de salud y siempre con Srila prabhupada en su corazón, disculpe por demorar en escribir, confiezo que estaba pasando pruebas muy dificiles   [AGTSP  pamho.  Ooof!  Vd. tambien!   No siento tan solo mas. Gracias] estaba queriendo salir del barco de Srila Prabhupada y quedar en el vacio,   [Lo trate. Es muy aburrido]  estaba muy confundida en querer seguir en la conciencia de Krsna y una frustración muy grande por no tener el deseo de cantar Hare Krsna ni de convivir con los devotos,   [Reporter pregunto a Srila Prabhupada:  Hay problemas en sus Templos.  Srila Prabhupada laughed y dijo. Eso es el mundo material.   Hay problemas en todos partes. - Pero podemos decir que los devotos son mitad loco, pero afuera son 85% loco!]    durante todos esos dias que parecia estar en el infierno, soñaba constantemente con ud. y por ahí una pequeña luz despertó nuevamente mi deseo de estar en Vrndavana solo eso acalmaba mi corazón, tube un sueño bastante especial donde usted me daba la instrucción de hacer Bhakti sastri entonces tube una pelea muy fuerte con mi mente, ella me golpeaba mucho pero finalmente cogí mi arma secreta, un hilo de su Dhoti y me aseguré fuerte y entonces mandé un mail para Chandramukhi y pedí hacer BS con ella este año, entonces todo comenzó a quedar más claro, no habia más oscuridad, Srila Prabhupada me tomó en sus brazos y me llamaron del BBT-Brasil, para trabajar  en  Sankirtana Shop en español......huauuuuuuuuuu, esa fué la batalla ahora viene la guerra cuando será el dia que coja mi Japa y la cante con amor???? maya aun respira .... No puedo olvidar de decir que mi buen esposo siempre se mantubo fuerte y cantando Japa para que yo pueda regresar, y cada dia que pasaba yo veia su esfuerzo y me sentia como " El hijo Prodigo "....

Gurudeva estos son los acontecimientos en mi vida estos ultimos meses....por favor mandeme sus bendiciones para hacer un buen servicio para Srila Prabhupada ahora que el me a colocado en el corazón El....

Perdone mi falta de inteligencia y reciba mis reverencias eternas a sus pies de loto. 

Siempre intentando servir....su hija
Adi Badri Dasi

 [Entusiasmo es mas importante que paciencia.  Entonces, busca cambios. Busca nuevo musica, nuevo gente. Hay muchas buenas personas en el mundo y si tiene la pequeno disicplina de su japa, 4-principios puede encontrar gran munco de servicio nueve.  Y   . Como yo entiendo tiene muchas cosa buenas, buen familia, no cancer!]

How is the temple in Madrid??  [Jaya, Srila Prabhu, We are in the preaching center in Madrid. Here are nice little Gaura Nitai in the basement, so that the Kirtana doesn't irritate the other's in the building.  They are nice.  Program is nice, but has to get super!  Sunday we go to Barcelona and then the following week we go to the farm and see Radha Govinda Chandra]

I hope someday travel with you around the world, I want to visit all the temples in this world!! JAYA!!!

What about my japa?? Im chanting 2 rounds, maybe I can chant 3?? with your blessings of course.   [Is best to fix a number that you are sure you can do for some time, and then do it no matter what your mind says. Eventually should come to the magic number of 16 and see how it is 100% useful]

How is your health?? well?? Im sure it is ok.   [Is O.K.  Always struggle to keep this body fit and useful until the last moments] 

Dear Gurudeva, thank you very much to answer my letters, please dont stop do that, I need your mercy very much, because sometimes doubts came to me, I believe in the Suprerme Lord, of course, but Maya is very strong you know, the mind, especulations about the real trought, whay I have to do??....   [Keep association with Acharya, Srila Prabhupada, and regular devotees on the path, and get some practical standard of rules that you can follow.   Then very quickly you will come to a higher platform]
