VDM & Hari-nam

during our stay in rAdha kunda, after gaura arati in the evenings, we have recited for the devotees over 700-verses (seven zatAkas) from zrIla prabhodananda sarasvati's "vRNdAvana dhAma mahimAMRta".


we find it very inspirational.


we pray to lAlita devi to understand our relation to author and article.


we have noticed that it provokes excellent introspection to substitute the word "iskcon" or "chanting the maha-mantra" for the word "vRNdavana".


Eg. only blind fools see faults in iskcon. iskcon is perfect in every way. does not everyone laugh at them. i only pray that i not see their faces at the time of death.


immediately i think of the repulsion i have for such iskcon entitites as arrogant aggressive, violent temple presidents or other administrators, and then i realize that all this time i could have had a different attitude to them. Eg. i could have fought back or better called out to krsna and balarama for help when attacked us, like bakasura attacking the cowherd boys.


Another example: even though i am arrogant, deceitful, lusty, greedy, offensive and a thief; i still somehow or other pray to the maha-mantra to never leave my tongue and heart and purify all of my bad qualities.

H. P. Swami Disciple List

2 years, 3 months ago by hps in Special Category A

AgtSP. Paoho. The following is a list of the 81-devotees who filed the Annual Report in his Blog to Hanumapresaka Swami as Diksa guru on behalf of Srila Prabhupada and our ISKCON Sampradaya.

Thank you so much.


These Reports are a requirement for us to include you in our Disciple list that we offer to Srila Prabhupada.


If you reported that you are falling short on your vow of rounds or 4-principles then we certainly want to help you as a Siksa guru, Patha-pradarshika guru, so that you can be fixed as an initiated disciple in his ISKCON.


Thank you so much.


Please pray that we can do this service properly.

AmD Report - Urgente

2 years, 3 months ago by anandamayadas in Personal Sadhana Reports

Hare Krsna querido Gurudeva, por favor acepta mis repetidas reverencias.

Todas las glorias a Srila Prabhupada!!!


La última vez que tuvimos contacto, fue por teléfono, y fue antes de su último Vyasapuja. Recuerdo haberle mencionado que la próxima vez que lo vería sería en el Santo Dham. Me estoy esforzándo para eso.


Cuando mis hijos dejaron el hogar, te pregunté qué debía hacer ahora? Y me dijiste que viaje por diferentes templos. 


Este 2022 ha sido un año de intenso servicio de pujari y de prédica, 8 meses en Ciudad del Este, casi 3 meses en Asunción (Paraguay) y voy a cumplir 1 mes en Rio de Janeiro (Brasil).


Hemos tratado de seguir tu instrucción, pero no ha sido fácil. Dejar el trabajo y depender de Krsna, desapegarse de las posesiones, la incomodidad de los viajes, los nuevos lugares, diferentes climas, diferentes personas, diferentes humores… No ha sido fácil…


En un momento me reproché haberme expuesto tanto, me preguntaba: si no hubiera viajado y me hubiera quedado en casa?, con mi buen trabajo en la escuela y una cómoda vida familiar, más una buena asociación de devotos amigos, yendo al templo los fines de semana, pensé que hubiera estado más protegido como antes en mí vida de grhastha… 

 

"Quién no hace nada, jamás se equivoca", y por ahora me he equivocado mucho. Estoy pasando por los momentos difíciles de esta película, cómo Usted siempre dice…  


La última vez que hablamos por teléfono le expliqué mi situación… Pero es diferente de lo que se está hablando. Ahora me han denunciado y tengo una medida cautelar desde Perú, y dicen que está en proceso de investigación, pero la medida cautelar tiene fecha del 02 de febrero del 2022 y recién me comunicaron, pero nunca me citaron para dar mi versión o para mostrarme sus supuestas pruebas. Por supuesto que la situación es diferente a lo que dice la denuncia, y se que está denuncia están pasándola por Whatsapp a todos, y me preocupa que en esta comisión de investigación estén involucrados devotas de la actual administración del Templo de Perú que siempre fueron antagónicos conmigo desde épocas en que dirijamos el Gurukula…


Así es que voy a ser sincero, no estoy bien, ha sido un año duro, y no le escribo este reporte como antes, con el dhoti limpio y planchado, siento que lo escribo en el suelo, herido y arrastras, intentando no dejar de intentarlo.


Esta es mi humilde ofrenda, es lo que pude hacer, mucho servicio de pujari, mucha prédica, y no quiero sentirme el "predicador" dándole este reporte, nuestra prédica solo se basa en tratar de entusiasmar a otros devotos e invitados a leer los libros de Srila Prabhupada, especialmente el hermoso Srimad Bhagavatam.

Además cada vez que podemos hacemos Harinam dónde estemos, y siempre, siempre, siempre hacemos Kirtan a los pies del Acharya. (Otra de sus instrucciones).


Perdóname por ser egoísta y solo hacer esto, y no poder vincularme más en tú Sankirtan, por favor perdóname.


Y es que tengo muchos demonios (anartha nvriti) que superar.

Ojalá pueda cualificarme pronto para poder tener de nuevo tu asociación (vapu).


Espero que estés pasando lindos días en asociación en el Santo Dham, y que seas feliz glorificando a todo el Parampara en el día de tu Vyasapuja. Eres un gran sirviente de Srila Prabhupada, seguro él estará muy complacido contigo. 


Siempre serás mi inspiración…


Tu tonto aspirante a sirviente… AmD

Hare Krsna dear Gurudeva, please accept my repeated obeisances.


 All glories to Srila Prabhupada!!!


 The last time we had contact was by phone, and it was before his last Vyasapuja. I remember mentioning to him that the next time I would see him would be at the Holy Dham. I am striving for that.

 When my children left home, I asked you what should I do now? And you told me to travel through different temples.


This 2022 has been a year of intense pujari and preaching service, 8 months in Ciudad del Este, almost 3 months in Asunción (Paraguay) and I will be 1 month in Rio de Janeiro (Brazil).


HpS - Super!!


We have tried to follow your instruction, but it has not been easy. Leaving work and depending on Krsna, detachment from possessions, the discomfort of travel, new places, different climates, different people, different moods... It has not been easy...


ASA - TB/BW Ha! Ha! Hare!!! We thing the same thing, then we realize that death is the ultimate journey. All the problems you mention above are there? Getting ready so we can do it.

Actually it is easy. Just have to get a little purified.


 At one point I reproached myself for having exposed myself so much, I wondered: if I had not traveled and stayed at home?, with my good work at school and a comfortable family life, plus a good association of devoted friends, going to the temple on weekends of the week, I thought that I would have been more protected than before in my grhastha life...


 "Who does nothing, is never wrong", and for now I have been very wrong. I am going through the difficult moments of this film, as you always say...


 The last time we spoke on the phone I explained my situation… But it is different from what is being discussed. Now they have denounced me and I have a precautionary measure from Peru, and they say that it is in the process of investigation, but the precautionary measure is dated February 2, 2022 and they just informed me, but they never summoned me to give my version or to show me their alleged evidence. Of course, the situation is different from what the complaint says, and I know that they are passing this complaint through WhatsApp to everyone, and I am concerned that devotees of the current administration of the Temple of Peru are involved in this commission of investigation, who have always been antagonistic with me since times when we directed the Gurukula...


 So I'm going to be honest, I'm not well, it's been a hard year, and I'm not writing this report to you like before, with the dhoti clean and ironed, I feel like I'm writing it on the ground, hurt and dragging, trying not to stop try.


HpS/ASA - 👍

👍

👍


 This is my humble offering, it is what I was able to do, a lot of pujari service, a lot of preaching, and I don't want to feel like the "preacher" giving this report, our preaching is only based on trying to excite other devotees and guests to read the books of Srila Prabhupada, especially the beautiful Srimad Bhagavatam.


 Also, whenever we can, we do Harinam wherever we are, and we always, always, always do Kirtan at the feet of the Acharya. (Another of his instructions).


 Forgive me for being selfish and only doing this, and not being able to bind myself in your Sankirtan anymore, please forgive me.


 And it is that I have many demons (anartha nvriti) to overcome.


 Hopefully I can qualify soon to be able to have your association (vapu) again.


 I hope that you are spending nice days in association in the Holy Dham, and that you are happy glorifying the entire Parampara on the day of your Vyasapuja. You are a great servant of Srila Prabhupada, I am sure he will be very pleased with you.


 You will always be my inspiration...


 You foolish would-be servant… AmD


HpS - Thank you. Please try to help the institution, ISKCON. It is struggling to things well in Kali yuga.

You know from the Gurukula what a mess it is to try to do some administration in Kali yuga.

So try to help them with any work they are trying to do.

Keep us informed.

We never got any direct notice of the denunciation which is very bad since we are your Diksa guru, then one devotee sent us a copy and also pointed out that the denunciation was almost one year old.

So many things seem improper with the situation, but please, again, help them make a good resolution of the situation for the institution.

Certainly you have a right to respond to accusations before sanctions are given.


Work on your problems. Solve them. Compensate anyone you hurt. Continue with our Sankirtan.


.Hare Krsna.
