Our Visit to Monterrey

2 years, 2 months ago by candra108_mukhi in Personal Sadhana Reports

Hare Krsna, beloved Gurudeva.

AGTSP, PAMHO.


As soon as I arrived to Monterrey (to the finca) I knew exactly what I was doing wrong.

We need first to know ourselves, and then try to adjust our Sankirtan in relation to our nature.


Gadadhara Gosai p and his wife were very kind with me

It was a short Visit, but very regarding. I met Karuna Shakti, Gopi Radha, etc in person. Very humble and top notch devotees.


Mona !!!! I liked her a lot


As I told You I am now an ordinary professor in the university. I can present some projects. I would like to help the elders. They are again like children's so they deserve attention and respect.


Again thank You very much.

Hope to see You again soon

Your eternal servant

HpS-ASA - AgtSP!! We were invited to visit with Umberto Mathurana, candidate for Nobel Prize in Chile, but he said bring about five our six peope from your community with you.


I learned so much.


It was not an American cowboy of two heroes on their tall horses.

It was the meeting of two communities. Members with their corresponding parts in the otro community.


He programmed about 4-hours for the meetings. It was so useful.


The team we are building is eternal.


Your visit was so nice. You brought a little bit of Lima with you.

Vyasa puja offering (from late December 2022)

Vyasa puja offering 


Hare Krishna Maharaja, please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada.


On this very wonderful appearance day I reflect on you and your ever expanding qualities. Your honesty and realness is always so refreshing to us. Your humor and playfulness keeps us excited and allows us to swallow some bitter pills so easily. You make it all so palatable. 


Without my connection to you, I would surely be very lost. Sixteen rounds everyday and strictly following the four principles is not easy but with your enthusiasm infecting us and with you connecting us to Prabhupada and the Parampara it seems possible. It’s such a long and windy road full of so many obstacles and pit falls but for the first time in my life I can feel that I am going in the right direction at least. Just by following you to the small degree that I am. 


We had a very nice ceremony for you at the temple today with so many illuminations of your character. Powerful and instructive stories about you were spoken, the kirtan was spirited and the prasadam was spiritually potent. Split pea soup, yellow rice, banana muffins, orange zest pudding with a small amount of black pepper;) and fried potatoes. 


The reoccurring theme of our discussions was your comment to my last blog entry: “ISKCON lives or dies on the service in the Boise temple” and the memories of how supportive you have been to us here was very emotional. 


The black witch (Maya/ depression) is always trying to tell me that this temple will fail and that we don’t have enough devotees to help. So many unhopeful speculations creep in but only by your mercy I can fight them off. With the sword of knowledge and sadana! And your powerful association through the internet air waves~


So much more to say but I will leave it at that. Thank you Maharaja for lifting us up and giving us hope for a real human life full of wonder and discovery. This Krsna consciousness movement is moving because of great souls like you. I am eternally indebted to you. 


Your aspiring servant, 

Nitisara das

P.S. Here is a picture that Aja and Braja made for you:

HpS - Thank you!!! Temples never fail. They are part of the Sat-Cit-Anaanda reality. We can see them from different perspectives. From one perspective the Radha Govinda Temple of Rupa Goswami in Vrndavana is like a relic, but from another it is filled with spiritual lilas ever expanding.

Practically how ISKCON will flourish in Boise is wide open. Of course, USA has a whole history of Northern German mechanical impersonalism, but the world is also changing, so keep looking for the new, exciting ways to "let Krsna out of the box"!

We are running to the UDEM program now!!

Wanted to write an here is you letter. Hope to talk soon.

Respects to all.

Initiation

2 years, 2 months ago by mercurio3 in Personal Sadhana Reports

Please Accept my humble obeisances!

All Glories to Sri Sri Guru and Gauranga!


How are you Maharaj? I've been watching some of your classes and began reading the JayaRama.us/news you write, also I bought the first episode of the Traveling Creature :) which I began watching, just a few minutes I've seen, seems really well produced and the video has a very very good quality!

Well, since you told me I was ready to became an initiated devotee, I would you to please ask you if you would like to give me initiation in some time, I've been chanting the 16 rounds since Nityananda Trayodasi, and the principles, well I was following them some extra time ago.


Hope you are well and so your health :)

I'm quite happy following your instructions :) thank you for your guidance and assistance!


Federico


HpS - After six months of chanting 16-rounds daily you can become a formal "Refugee", refugiado, and then after one year total formally initiated. 16-rounds daily you have been doing for 2-3 months?

2nd Drop in the Ocean

2 years, 2 months ago by chas d lind in Hot Topics

please accept my sincere obeisance’s, All Glories to Srila Prabhupada!


Thank you for your quick response, I know you’re quite engaged in service.


The question on our “8.3” number is parallel and self-encumbered, I was referring to the World population which is currently at 8.3 billion of all nations, then you refreshed my memory of 8.3 million gyrations in the species of material existence. So many cycles, and growing primarily out of tama-guna.


Murfreesboro sounds like a plan, we’ll need to get on your journal page to find the perfect stage for the visiting our Sage.


Will do my best to keep the responses going to you, not taking any chances, for now we may yet be blessed in your Spiritual quests


Hasta Luego Maestro Grande!  


HpS - 🐷 🐷 🦍

We have some letters for you when we get back to USA!

Are you doing service at New Raman-reti?

New Report

2 years, 2 months ago by Radha Japa in Personal Sadhana Reports

Dear Gurudeva!

Please accept my respectful obeisances to your beautiful lotus

feet. all glories to Srila Prabhupada!


hps - lettuce feet. AGTSP! . ! . !


I wish you had a beautiful Gaura pournima day! we bathe Lord Gauranga with Gopal and sing.


By the mercy of Mr. Gaura, the director of the culture of the town where I live gave me another opportunity to make a festival! we will do harinama book distribution, prasadam, bhajans, dances.

We hope that many people can benefit. We ask for Your wonderful blessings so that there will be a lot of preaching and book distribution!


HPS - hope you can involve many local people in dramas etc.



I am glad to hear from you, I wish you are well and happy in your wonderful sankirtan!


Speaking of my body, sometimes I still feel strong pain in my legs, but I rest and it passes. I can happily continue working and dancing.


Could you see the offering I made to you for Your Vyasa Puja?


https://youtu.be/Gnjj2gRdpV4


HpS - We watched from beginning to end but moved a little fast through some of the oranamental portions.


Can you chant the Sanskirt from the chapter, especially the portion of Radha's conversation with the bee with Gopal et al. Send the recording?


Thank you for being my beloved Guru.


I feel at this stage of my life that I want to fulfill my duties to the best of my ability and prepare myself to leave the body. I saw "death" very close and it was a blessing. please pray for me to be able to occupy myself in service and preach as much as possible.


we are reading srimad bhagavatan every day. we have finished the chapter the pandavas retire opportunely and now we are reading punishment and reward of kali....


HpS - Write down questions and comments that occur as you read and then send them here?

please forgive any offense inadvertently committed in this letter. and accept obeisances from frank and gopal.


we were able to send a very small contribution to his sankirtan with prabhu Nikunja Bihari das .


trying to serve him with all my heart:


HpS - Yes! We got generous donation from you through Nikunja. Thank you all! We will try to invest it very well in Sri Krsna Sankirtan!!!

Hari Bolo!!

Radha Japa Prati Jalpa Devi Dasi


HpS - No offense. Thank you for the copies of the posters.

DTC Sa(11)

2 years, 2 months ago by hps in DTC

Hare Krsna.

AgtSP.

Paoho...


Tom Brown // Buck White here.


Been a long time since we write a DTC here!


Daily we do the paper copies.


Brother Ass has had chest ache for most of the day.

Also, eyes and ears failing.

Lot of impetus from devotees to trade in our S9+ for an S23, but the S9+ seems to be working fine.

It is like an old pickup truck. You know you can't drive it on the freeway at high speeds and you can't put too big a load in it but it has a lot of good features.

So much experience, education now. So many wonderful contacts, but the essence is:

Kirtaniya sada Harih.


Just chant Maha mantras constantly from the core or your heart, under the shelter of Srila Prabhupada's lotus feet.


HK HK KK HH// HR HR RR HH!

🙂🦍🦍🐒


Based in New Govardhana near Montemorelos, Mexico.

Dozens of devotees here and visiting daily and for a few days.


Will go to Mexico City for Ramanavami.


Then Houston 3-11th April, then back to our base camp in Nashville, Murfrees boro.

After that depends on the Sankirtan situation in the world.


Maybe buy land and start a teacher training college for Monkeys and Piggys in ISKCON and leave our body there.


Abhirama Th. Das arrive in a few minutes.


Gaura arati in 13-minutes.

Yugala kishora Dasi putting Krsna Balarama on the altar after Their change of dress.

Akincana power washing the patio with Arya srestha.

Matajis mind babies, monkeys.

Flys licking our prespiration.


Hare Krsna!!


Look at the youtube for a few minutes and Gaura arati!!
