Dealing with Criticism

ASA-e -- Yoga Ladder, False Ciriticsm


Dear Maharaj,

PAMHO AGTSP!


I have been contemplating on SP’s instruction to Yamuna Mataji to share so that it doesn’t cause envy, psychotic enemies, insecurity and thus obstacles in service (show-stealer, receiving ‘more’ mercy, getting more attention from teachers, stealing husband from his guru and parents and illicit gf). I am seriously baffled by how such wonderful people can become so insecure by someone as insignificant as me!? I really try to stay low, dim down. I guess I can take it as a compliment that they see so much potential in me. However it leads to a lot of obstacles in service as well. Trying to learn ways to preempt these feelings in other’s hearts and promote friendship. Not ruffle their feathers, but also not disrespect myself (which sometimes is the expectation). I try to share whatever I have to dissolve it, but it doesn’t always work. Ive been contemplating how to better respond to such situations 🙏.


HpS/ASA - AgtSP. Paoho. In The Forest of Material Enjoyment, Canto Five, we remember there is the example of the cricket. He is making noise so that one cannot even sleep properly, but no matter how hard we look we cannot find him.

Is explained that this represents character assasination, false criticism, to which everyone in the material world is object and the source of which cannot be discovered.


Eg, "S(He)It eats fruit in bed!"

We ask a friend where they heard that and they cannot tell us. "It is going around"


I get criticized in so many aspects: HpS is a ritvic, closet Christian, mental speculator, has had his problems with woman etc.

Everyone will have.

It is a an irritation built in by God to keep us from becoming happy in this nasty place.


So, in one aspect, when it happens, we just say, "THANK YOU, KRSNA! Got the message, gonna pick the pace again".


Usually, that is the only response we make to these false criticisms, but if the critic is a disernible entity and we can make some simple adjustment then we do it.

Other wise, The Witch, (Black one, not white one) will always come up with more and more problems so that we cannot focus on doing our service to the best of our ability and then letting Krsna and Balarama see to the results!

🦍 🦍🐒 🦧 Hare Krsna! Hare Rama!!!


O.K.?

Hare Krishna Gurudev. Pamho. Toda glorias a Srila Prabhupada y sus seguidores fieles.


Espero que se encuentre entusiasta en su sankirtana y en una agradable compañia de devotos,


Ahora hace casi un mes desde que partió de España y quería agradecerle que me haya permitido hacerle algún pequeño servicio. Ha sido muy agradable tener su asociación y también haber podido servir y relacionarme con otros devotos como Dhruva, Subhadra, Parasuram y Rukmini.


Se aprende mucho viendo las cualidades que tienen otros devotos y que a mi me gustaría desarrollar. Estoy agradecido por esto.


HpS/ASA - Jaya! Nos es igual! Estableciendo un afecta super para NVM, Sus Senorias y Sus servientes!!

Ha sido muy entenso aqui. Mucho contrasto y similaritud entre "Nueva Govardhana - Montemorelas" y NVM.

Pienso que estamos ganando la lucha con la bruja. Mas y mas gente apreciando la mensaje del Senyor Caitanya por medio de estas esfueras profesional.


Ya hemos vuelto a la rutina (dichosa) del Sat Sanga, piscina para espalda y mente, etc. La verdad es que al cuerpo le sienta bien la rutina.

Es evidente que la rutina de Nueva Vrajamandala es mejor para mi inteligencia y alma, sobre todo la asociación constante con buenos devotos y la presencia de las deidades. Espero que mas adelante pueda disfrutar mas de esa asociación: Estamos dando los pasos necesarios para que esto suceda.

Le envié a Mónica el mensaje que me envió pero no me contestó y no he querido presionarla (sobre todo sabiendo que ya no es un tema urgente). Le he dicho a Marcos que intente averiguar él los contactos de ¿hinduismo? que puedan haber en la UCM, sobre todo para el futuro.

Sigo al corriente de su sankirtan a través del blog y escuchando algunas clases.

Gracias de nuevo por su asociación personal o virtual. Es un estimulo para seguir en el camino y mejorar en lo posible.

HpS/ASA - Super! Escriba una resumen del hostoria de su Sat Sanga local, y el trayectoria futuro?

Response to previous letter about candidates for initiations

2 years, 1 month ago by maha-anandini-radha-dd in Hot Topics

Hare Krsna Maharaja please accept my humble obeisances, all glories to Srila Prabhupada!!!!


Sorry for my late response, I have gone through many material things, entrance to the school of the Narottam brothers, an emergency operation of the appendix. uff!!!


With respect to your questions in the previous letter, here I answer.


Narotam has successfully completed the disciples and bhaktas course and the test stipulated by H. H. Jayapataka Swami. Both mother Alankriti and prabhu Parasuram have successfully passed the test for 2nd initiation created by HH Jayapataka Swami and both are taking the online bhakti sastri course. These 3 candidates are with all the times of service, courses and tests accepted.

I heartily appreciate all Maharaja, I will always be in your debt. Your humble servant, always attentive to serve you, Maha Anandini Radha dd.


HpS - Thank you!!! We were dying for this.

We need letters from the Temple President or his or GBC authorized agencies. Thank you. Hope your donkey, body, is teaching you good lessons to finish your material attachment very soon and wake up to your full self.

Report and Invitation from Richmond

Respected Maharaj,


Please accept our humble and respectful obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada!! 


For the pleasure of your Holiness, we would like to share some of the updates from Richmond Yatra:


 - After some hurdles, our Temple Project is moving forward. Initially, our site plan application was rejected by the county. After months of re-work and in addition to a lightning plan for the parking lot we are ready to re-submit the modified application to the county.

 - Upon approval, which usually takes about two weeks, we will initiate the construction of, driveway, Parking lot and other areas on the temple site. Which will take about a month.

 - Upon completion, we will apply for the inspection and occupancy permit. The whole process should take about 2-3 months.


HpS-ASA -- 😐 Super. AgtSP.


 - Apart from the temple project . . . regular, nourishing Krishna conscious activities are going on including - Multiple weekly Sangas like Bhakti Vrikshas, Bhakti Shastri, Saturday Feast, Festival celebrations, Kids Sunday School etc.

 - Srila Prabhupada is sending many new sincere families to assist and serve in the Temple Project and services.


HpS/ASA - 🙃 Su, Su, Super!!!


With above being said - We sincerely, on behalf of the whole yatra, would like to humbly request your holiness to visit us, and we very much desire to have another grand celebration - City Harinaam, Public inauguration of the temple with a cultural program etc., in presence of your Holiness.


Maharaj, we are made up of your mercy and we would like to be in your shelter and remain as your


your servant

HpS/ASA - AgtSP! We are just a peanut in the belly of an elephant compared to the mercy that Srila Prabhhpada is giving us. Now we are in Mexico. Riding the waves of the Spanish solar winds. Rama navami in The Capitol, then 3rd-11th April in Houston.

All this is in the Kapi Dhvaja (www.JayaRama.US/new.htm).

Such and excellent periodical.


Then we will return to our Base Camp in Murfree's Boro, Tennessee, and try to take a look at future travel etc from a basic platform.

Actually it is becoming impossible for us to travel with out an attendant, and with some extra facility. Even then it is a lot of work, yet that is what we want, no? To be constantly sacrificing for Krsna rather than Lord Banana.

So, let us stay in touch.

More Temple Yatra News.

Then we can develop programs!!

We need the help of the Rich Mound Yatra like anything.

Still remember you all in your gumshaws at Radha Kunda. 🙃

Please Accept my Humbe Obeisances!

All Glories To Srila Prabhupada!

All Glories to Sri Sri Guru And Gauranga!


HK. Maharaj! how are you??


HpS - AgtSP!! What you mean "you"? Ha! Ha! Ha! You mean my body? It has chest ache and eyes failing etc. My mind? Not bad. Other times during the day it has feelings of terror, but the Mantra and BG intelligence keeps us calm and progressive. You mean us as spirit souls? We are in Maya and trying to get out of the sticky syrup!


well I've been chanting the 16 rounds for one month and a half.



May I ask you a question, could you please tell me why the primary relationship Krishna has with Balaram is of brothership? and why not perhaps Balaram is his uncle or cousin?


HpS - Because They are both sons of Vasudeva, no? Balarama mother is Rohini and Krsna's Mother is Devaki. O.K.?? 😐


well thank you very much for everything!

HK!


Federico


HpS - Thank you!!

Let us look at more Blog posts together.
