Report from Gaura Gadadhara Dasi

 My Dear Guru Maharaj


Please accept my humble obeisances, All glories to Srila Prabhupada

We pray that your health is good.


Whilst my husband and I spoke several times about writing to you, our desire was not sincere


Dear Guru Maharaj, I want to express my gratitude for actually making arrangements for us remain in Sridham Mayapur.


By our Guru Maharaj’s mercy, my details have recently been officially registered in Mayapur, to perform a small spot of seva, as a servant to assisting in Sri Sri Radha Madhava’s and Asta Sakhi’s pujari department.


My little seva includes maintaining Nrsimha Dev’s clothes, Avaranam, jewellery . I get to Iron Narsimha Dev’s and Prahalad Maharaj’s dresses, and then arranging them in their place.

I also have half hr cleaning seva . It is a beautiful and fulfilling experience. I feel very very happy


HpS/ASA - 🙂 👍



Also 1 week, a month, I have been granted same seva for Sri Sri Nitai Gour Padakamala at Srila Prabhupada’s bhajan kutir.


Although I havent learnt enough Bengali to converse, I am however Slowly developing a very sweet loving relationship with Pujari’s and other sevaks. They seem happy with my service.


Since past Two months , every day after Srila Prabhupad’s guru puja, my husband and I have been granted seva to distribute Nrsimha Devs Kheer maha prasadam. There is generally a long queue of devotees and visiting pilgrims, even before the distribution begins.


We really relish the opportunity to serve the Vaishnava’s , it gives us great pleasure when we get so much affection and blessings And because of this Seva, we now also attend Darshan Arti regularly.


My husband after piking flowers, is able to attend daily Mangal Arti at Srila Prabhupada’s Smadhi, and I attend Mangal Arti at Srila Prabhupad’s Bhajan Kutir and Radha Madhava’s Temple


Dear Guru Maharaj, Thank you for your regular darshan , I am following you on ASA Carnaval Facebook, Thank for inspiring all of us.


Im so happy, because I feel my sadhana is improving , Im hearing more Srimad Bhagavatam especially recordings from H. H. Haladhar Maharaj, and live at the Temple after which I do my regular Seva.

I am feeling like the Pujari for Sri Radha Madan Bihari in Chosica.


At home one week I do pujari seva, and cleaning the ashrama for our dieties

whilst my husband cooks, and does other house chores, and then the following week we switch services,


By the sweet mercy of my beloved Guru Maharaj, I am feeling Enlivened and Alive . Thank you so much


I offer my loving obeisances to My Dear Guru Maharaj.


Your Servant

ISKCON Peru

Hare Krishna querido Maharaja, 

Pamho, agtSP. 

Gracias por escribir, es siempre bueno recibir sus mensajes. Aprecio su constante preocupación por la situación de nuestro Yatra en Peru.

La Junta Nacional de ISKCON Perú mantiene reuniones quincenales, promoviendo la unión de las Yatras y coordinando la implementación de la Estrategia de Predica promovida por el RGB Latino para toda la región. Hay mucho entusiasmo. Esperamos que otros programas de predica estables de las provincias del pais acepten la invitacion que se les ha hecho para participar. El Centro de Predica de Miraflores ha sido reabierto y tenemos programas regulares alli.

Estos días tenemos la visita de SG Rukmini Krishna Prabhu, de la India, candidato a tomar sannyasa y se quedara 2 semanas en Perú dando varios seminarios y clases en los 3 templos. Como un servicio a los discípulos de los diferentes maestros espirituales que hay en Lima, este sábado el estará dando un seminario para devotos con segunda iniciación (brahmanas) llamado "La importancia del Gayatri Mantra" Sera muy provechoso que sus discípulos asistan a este importante programa para refrescar los principios y valores brahminicos que se comprometieron a seguir cuando recibieron el Gayatri Mantra de Ud.

En cuanto a las denuncias administrativas que se hicieron hace varios meses, el investigador encargado por el RGB todavía esta esperando las evidencias para iniciar una investigación. Creo que este tema está en buenas manos y no debería perturbar el desarrollo espiritual de la comunidad.

Como Ud. sabe, cualquier denuncia debe estar acompañada de pruebas y someterla a un proceso justo antes de llegar a una resolución seria. Llegar a conclusiones arbitrarias y correr rumores ofensivos en contra de devotos es muy dañino para cualquier comunidad.

El dialogo conmigo siempre está abierto para cualquier devoto que tenga dudas, preocupaciones y ganas de hacer aportes constructivos para el desarrollo armónico de nuestro Yatra.

Cuando es necesario, publicamos comunicados oficiales en nuestra pagina de Facebook "ISKCON Peru - Comunicados oficiales del GBC"

Su sirviente, 

Mathuresa dasa

Hare Krishna, dear Maharaja,

Pamho, agt SP.


HpS/ASA - AgtSP! Esteemed Mathuresa Das, our very esteemed friend and GBC Regional Secretary, paoho! ! . ! First let us apologize in taking 8-days to respond to your very important ASA Blog post.

Our old body, donkey, super demanding/productive trip to Richmond and NIOS Nashville festival have occupied so much strength.

Thank you for the Whatsapp words to keep these Blog posts in proportion.



Thank you for writing, it is always good to receive your messages. I appreciate your constant concern for the situation of our Yatra in Peru.


The ISKCON Peru National Board holds biweekly meetings, promoting the union of the Yatras and coordinating the implementation of the Preaching Strategy promoted by the RGB Latino for the entire region.


There is a lot of enthusiasm. We hope that other stable preaching programs in the country's provinces will accept the invitation that has been made to them to participate. The Miraflores Preaching Center has been reopened and we have regular programs there.


These days we have the visit of SG Rukmini Krishna Prabhu, from India, candidate to take sannyasa and will stay 2 weeks in Peru giving various seminars and classes in the 3 temples. As a service to the disciples of the different spiritual masters that exist in Lima, this Saturday he will be giving a seminar for devotees with second initiation (brahmanas) called "The importance of the Gayatri Mantra".


HpS/ASA - 🙂 Super!


Regarding the administrative complaints that were made several months ago, the investigator commissioned by the RGB is still waiting for the evidence to initiate an investigation. I believe that this issue is in good hands and should not disturb the spiritual development of the community.


HpS - In our casual conversations on the topic, we have heard that H. G. Hansarupa Das from New York is the Investigator and that he has talked with H. G. Gita-govinda Das et al, requested their Evidence and that they have sent it.

Very nice.

Very interesting.

🙂


As you know, any complaint must be accompanied by evidence and subject to a fair process before reaching a serious resolution.

Coming to arbitrary conclusions and spreading offensive rumors against devotees is very damaging to any community.


ASA - 👍


The dialogue with me is always open for any devotee who has doubts, worries and the desire to make constructive contributions for the harmonious development of our Yatra.


When necessary, we post official statements on our Facebook page "ISKCON Peru - GBC Official Statements"


His servant,

Mathuresa Dasa


HpS/ASA - Super! Thank you so much for your efforts to post this great information here in our ASA Blog. Thank you.

In conversations with such devotees and Gita-govinda Das, Abhirama thakura Das, Candra-mukhi Devi Dasi and many more, we have never heard any anger toward those with whom they feel administrative conflict.


There has been a humor that we are friends, members of the same Yatra, but there are administrative conflicts that need to be addresses.


For this there is of course a line of command from Head-cook, to Temple President, to National Council, to Regional Secretary, to GBC Secretary, to Regional GBC Committee, to International GBC Executive Committee, to Srila Prabhuapda.


For ASA we require that our individual, direct relationship with Srila Prabhupada is first, second is our friendship with the other members of his society, and third, but a very essential manifestation of his potency, are our institutional relations in ISKCON.


We feel very intensely that Institutional Leaders must join the Yatra from time to time and lead Kirtans, half an hour, more. Then their political position will become transparently obvious to the Brahmanas and saintly devotees.


As Smt. Gangamayi Devi Dasi has been so active in administration, it would be wonderful if we could join her for Kirtan's regularly, no? We need her leadership.


ISKCON seems to be moving into the Third Stage.

Wonderful.


Many more things to discuss with your good self!

Many more.

Hope this Blog can serve a little for peaceful and productive dialogs, with a common cause.

Improving VedaBse.IO?

2 years, 1 month ago by hps in Special Category A

AgtSP!


Esteemed Prahlada Nrsmha Das,

Paoho. We are remembering in our room in Radha desa. Was such nice visit!


We hope your part in Srila Prabhupada's Sankirtan party, ISKCON [!] is growing with enthusiasm.


Any way we can help you?


Srinatha Krsna Das et al were visiting for our Cultivation of the Human Spirit (CHS) symposium last weekend. Wonderful.


He commented that if LOB (and NOI) would open like a chapter in the SB on VDB.IO it would seem to give so much more access for study and teaching.


That would mean instead of opening to the untitled verse numbers, it would open to the whole booklet with each verse and their purports arranged as they are in the individual chapters of SB.


This is a suggestion from Users with very little knowledge of how much work it would take to make the change.


Is possible?

Need help?


Thank you.

Send some news:

  • VDB.IO?
  • Family?
  • Yatra?
  • How long it take you to buy Audi?

HpS / ASA -🙂

[7/18/2023 2:54 PM] Prahlada-nrsmha Das: Dear Gurumaharaja.

Just read your post on Monkey Warrior

Although will be doable to do in current system I am working on new version where will be easy to do

I already made similar thing to other project (something like Vedabase for Sri Vaisnavas)


HpS/ASA - Super. That is KC, no? Not just "doable" but doable with brillance! 🕯

Diagnosed with Cancer

2 years, 1 month ago by hps in Personal Sadhana Reports

Whatsapp:

Hare Krsna, Gurudeva, AGTSP, PAMHO.  

I have been diagnosed with renal cell carcinoma (cancer) in the upper region of left kidney. As per the doctor's suggestion I have to go for surgery as soon as possible. Kindly pray for me so that I can serve Srila Prabhupada and His mission.


HpS/ASA - AgtSP! Our lower, right, front tooth was becoming loose, and Doctor Dinesh in Miami Temple diagnosed it as rotten at the root.

He extracted it, and then asked if we wanted to see it.


We were curious, and said, "Yes".

It was interesting and we laughed and joked, and commented that it seemed we were going back home, back to Godhead, one piece at a time.


He also chuckled and said that in 17-years of dentistry most people did not want to see the tooth, and we were the first person who had laughed about it.


🙂 AgtSP!

Are you going back home, back to Godhead, one piece at a time?

Be very alert.

What kind of consciousness you can keep during the different phases of the surgery and anesthesia. Do gross and subtle preaching to the medics.

Watch for an opportunity that Krsna sends to leave your current body, Karma, and go to a better one for Sankirtan.

Preach to your relatives grossly and subtly.

So lucky!

KRSNA KRSNA

HARE HARE


the sun is at 2.20pm.

we have 8-more rounds to do.

we have fallen little behind because of travel and joining local festival.

seems o.k.

8-guests in our ashrama.

is like negotiating the different arrangements in the spiritual world.


hari kirtan guides us out of this world and within the spiritual world!


in this world, kali yuga, everything is irregular, best use of a bad bargain. always improvising our tools. join and promote hari kirtan.


Will pack for going to the CHS (Cultivation of Human Spirit) Festival.
