Understanding Death (trying to)
Hare Krishna, AGTSSGN AGTSP PAMHO!
Dear Gurudev, I hope your health will be better.
HpS//ASA - Hare Krsna, So, agtSP, nice to get your association.
Health is about the same. Doing a lot, lot, lot of work with modern medicine, ayurveda and Krsna, and result seems to be there. We are learning what aspects of our body are functional and how to use this machine nicely then the new one that is sent by Krsna!
Firstly I want to apologize for the time without writing to you, it was difficult year cause my father, but now I'm feel more recovered.
HpS 👍
Today is a special day, it is your birthday and also my sister's death anniversary, also celebrated Smriti Sraddha for Trivikram (I didn't attend). I have been meditating for days on that you told me about talking to others about death, I feel that already it's time to be able to develop the idea and try to provide understanding on this topic, at least as far as I could.
As a result of what happened with Trivikram, I remembered something you told me a few years ago, the day you were invited to meet with Sanja Maharaha (HpS who is this???), you told me that you were fellow asrama, that like some disciples of Srila Prabhupada at some point they decided to leave. , the good relationship with some of their spiritual brothers made them return, which was your reason for accepting that meeting.
HpS - He took Sannyasa from Narayana Swami??
Personally, I was away from Trivikram, so it was not possible for me to know how he felt and perhaps help him. When someone doesn't want to be there, we can't force them, but I do think that being available is a good start for those who want to regain a relationship with SP, you and Radha and Krishna.
HpS - Our understanding!!
In this year, some things happened, I had conclusions after analyzing certain experiences. I decided to stay away from places and people with whom I don't feel good, not to have utilitarian relationships, where there is no concern for people, only for how we can be materially useful. I'm maintaining friendships with whom I've been able to do some services, I'm training in another judo club where I was able to give some books to my new teammates and give them prasadam.
I've a personal question, I would like to know if there is any particular instruction that you want to give me to do, anything that you think I should focus on (in addition to the things we should do).
Also want to express to you that you are someone very appreciated by me, very important, I think I felt I had to take some distance cause of that I experienced with my father, to avoid suffering in the same way with you, but that is not possible, what hurts will hurt. Do whatever you do to avoid it, cause we are people who develop affections and attachments and I think that in that sense it's better to have an attachment to someone who has helped us grow and develop consciousness, than in other things.
Always desired that Radha and Krishna bless you, your eternal servant Parasurama Avatar Das, Santiago – Chile.
(I send photos of my father, of a chapel that I pass by on the way to the Dojo, of my mates and of the poster of Radhika Raman's conference that I made)
HpS - Hare Krsna!! What we do is not so much important as how we do it!! If we chant 16-nice rounds a day, in heaven or hell, and follow four principles strictly daily, then our heart will be protected and step by step by step by... we will become preachers on the level of Narada Muni, by the merc of Srila Prabhupada and Lord Nityananda.
Get up early.
Get your rounds done.
Keep full morning program.
Prioritize the Sankirtan ideas the Super soul sends.
Meet with devotees after Breakfast and make plans for Sankirtan.
Never, Never, Never leave Srila Prabhupada's ISKCON.
The GBC, local authorities are a part of that.
We struggle to keep the institution proper. It is my institution because it is my spiritual master's institution.
Our experience of Srila Prabhupada must be direct through his books, instructions, deities, supersoul, devotees, Managers etc.
Then we must take first class responsibility to serve and offer correction to the Institution. but... more intimate is that we have friends in ISKCON and most intimate is our personal relationship with Srila Prabhupada.
Then we will all meet here and there from moment to moment.
