Despertando a mi vida real/ Alankrti DD

All Glories to Sri Sri GauraNitay!!!!

 All glories to Srila Prabhupada!!!!

 All glories and my humble obeisances to you dear Gurudeva!!!!


 Hare Krishna Gurudeva please accept my respectful obeisances I hope you are in very good health, in your sankirtana and service to Srila Prabhupada,


your association is greatly missed we take advantage of each class, each gotomeeting connection, each Twitter, each blog response,

photos and videos sent by the lucky godbrothers who visit you in Vṛndāvana,

any contact with you is a great inspiration for our spiritual life.


I imagine you every day in parikrama towards the holy Radhakunda and in all the meditations and realizations that a soul as dedicated as you can have.


ASA - HpS = Hare Krsna!! Mostly we realize that there is danger at every step, from being hit by wild young men in motor-cycles, etc. One has to be very alert of one's own safety and progress.

Also, it is a fact, the Kunda is always purifying with every contact with even a little honesty!

AGTSP!


 I am very glad to know that you appreciated my gift and that it is being useful for mother Paurnamasi from Spain and the children.


ASA - Cartoons are also puppets! The Gopis would watch puppet shows organized by the Brahmanas, no?


 My little report of this last time is 16 rounds every day, 4 regulative principles,


ASA - 🌞


...taking care of my family and the deities at home, fixed service in the temple in the kitchen of Sri Sri GauraNitay and in the kitchen of the deities for festivals. . Now we are preparing together with Priya Sakhi and Srutipriya activities for the children since in a few weeks we will have Ratha Yatra, we plan to have pastimes with the Japanese Kamishibai technique and do crafts.


ASA-Kids in Mexico had a fenced in area where the kids could stay while their parents watched Bharata Natyam, with puppets, face painting etc. It was "free" child care (but the pop-corn was $5/bag).

Ha! Ha! Ha!

Parents loved being exploited for their kids.



I am also taking an online course 2 times a week with Yadunandana Swami which I am very excited about as Maharaja is a very expert teacher and he is very clear in explaining everything.


ASA - There is no one greater than him in ISKCON. Protect him!


 Gurudeva, in one of the letters that I sent to you, some time ago (it seems that it was one of the ones that was deleted), I wrote that I had a great desire to be able to take a second initiation, I have been preparing myself , deepening my service, my readings and in my japa, I spoke a few months ago with Maha Anandini and she told me that I speak with the devotees of the temple board and they said yes, but I need your mercy Gurudeva, I hope you can answer me.


HpS - Sure! Very regular in the 1st initiation requirements then you get fixed in Sattva-guna, then if you want to be a Exemplar Lady for the benefit of neophytes, serve the Prince and Princess on the altar, etc. you should take second initiation.

Then third ... the fourth... then ............


 Waking up to my real life, this material world seems increasingly dense, strange and chaotic, it is like being underwater without oxygen, Krishna, his devotees and devotional service are the vital air for my soul.



 I bid farewell from the other side of the world, my eternal obeisances dear Gurudeva

his disciple Alankrti Devi Dasi

 Thank you so much for everything

 I will send my annual report this week.


Sounds like you are getting ready for 4th initiation!

"We must give up 'life breathing'", SP.

Learn to get air from the Maha-mantra.

Gracias!!

Make more progress faster.

6.17PM - Few letters before FEP.

Hare Krisna Gurudev: Pamho. Toda gloria a Srila Prabhupada y sus seguidores fieles.

  

Espero que se encuentre bien cuando reciba este mensaje. 

Pronto hará dos meses que volvimos del viaje a India y ya estamos en modo “occidente”. Pocos cambios. Seguimos observando la constancia de maya en sus propuestas y como siempre está esperando que bajemos la guardia para ganar una batalla. Somos conscientes de que la victoria final será nuestra. Nuestro objetivo a medio plazo es vivir mas cerca de devotos avanzados donde Krisna siempre es perceptible. 

El viaje a India nos ha dejado buenas impresiones (samskaras). Hemos conocido muy buenos devotos residentes del dham, que nos inspiran con sus actos y también estoy maravillado con la cubierta de Vrindavan dham: “todos los devotos (humanos, monos, perros, niños, niñas, etc.. , cumpliendo fielmente con su cometido para que los intrusos no podamos entrar a molestar en los lugares realmente confidenciales donde se están llevando a cabo pasatiempos donde Krisna está presente”.

También ha sido muy agradable el viaje con el equipo de trabajo de Raúl, Héctor, HPS, Abhiram, Ranchor, Govinda, Prema Murti , Adiras y un servidor. Gracias por planificar esta aventura, donde hemos tenido la oportunidad de conocer a devotos tan buenos y ver lugares tan interesantes.

Sin más

Two presentations on noi/tpp.


"Hare Kṛṣṇa! Dandavats Praṇams. Thank you, Mahārāja, for selflessly sharing your realizations and knowledge with the devotees at the ISKCON Bhagavata Mahavidyalaya. They would like to invite you again before you leave. 


Below are the links to the YouTube recordings. Due to a technical issue, there is no audio during the first four minutes of the lecture on day one.

Here are some notes on sravama-dasa from NOI 8 from Gokulananda Das!

Regarding the references,


In Bhakti Sandarbha anuccheda 278 JG elaborates on the five stages of smaranam. In case you need them, I have the Bhakti Sandarbha translations by Satya Nārāyana Dāsa and H.H. Bhanu Svāmī in pdf format.


In your lecture, you mentioned that this topic shwos up in the works of Bhaktivinoda Thākura. I checked it up; there are elaborate explanations in Jaiva Dharma, chapter 40 and Harināma Cintamani, chapter 16.


FYI, Śivarama Svāmi wrote a synthesis on these stages in his Nava Vraja Mahima 8.36 (Introduction to Māha Mantra).

Ys,

Translation


(1) May very fragrant Radha'-kunda, which, prodded by the gopis' many joking words after Vrsabhasura's death, the king of Vrndavana forest happily built and filled with His own hand, be my shelter.

 

(2) May very dear and fragrant Radha-kunda, which, for one who bathes in it immediately creates in the land of the heart a desire tree of pure love rare even among the gopibeloveds of Lord Krishna in Vraja, be my shelter.

 

(3) May very dear and fragrant Radha-kunda, where, yearning to attain the merciful sidelong glance of His queen, Lord Krishna diligently follows Her bathing attendants, be my shelter.

 

(4) May very fragrant Radha'-kunda, which is named after a girl who is a realm of love for He who is the moon of Vraja, a girl who is like the most precious jewel in the crown of the sweet girls of Vraja, be my shelter.

 

(5) The mercy obtained by serving Radha'-kunda makes the celestial vine of pure love for the prince of Vraja, which is famous for bearing the flowers of service to my queen, sprout. May that very fragrant Radha'-kunda be my shelter.

 

(6) May very fragrant Radha-kunda, on the shores of which are many splendid and charming forest groves filled with the sweet sounds of bumblebees and each named after one of Sri Radha's friends, be my shelter.

 

(7) May very fragrant Radha-kunda, on the shore of which, in a pleasant courtyard Queen Radha and Her friends sweetly joke with Lord Krishna, the moon of Vraja, be my shelter.

 

(8) May very fragrant Radha-kunda, where the passionate divine couple daily plays with Their passionate friends in the charming lotus-scented water, be my shelter.

 

(9) To one who is completely dedicated to Queen Radha's service and who happily reads these eight beautiful verses describing Her lake, even in this present body Lord Krishna shows His beloved as he happily embraces Her.

REPORTANDOME

2 years, 7 months ago by Gadai in Personal Sadhana Reports

Todas las Glorias a Srila Prabhupada!!!


Hare Krsna, Guru Maharaja, por favor reciba mis respetuosas reverencias, después de 8 meses le escribo para reportarme.


HpS//ASA - Aye de Mi! Caramba!



16 rondas

4 principios regulativos

Mi Sadhana comienza a las 3 y 50 am y Mangal Artik 4 y 30 am.

Baño y adoración de las Salagrama Silas y Govardhana Silas.


Lectura del Srimad-Bhagavatam (Canto 4, Cap9, texto 30) "Dhruva Maharaja vuelve a casa".

Sri Caitanya-Caritamrta (Madhya Lila, parte 1) Capitulo 8, Texto 150 "Conversaciones entre Sri Caitanya y Ramananda Raya".


HpS - We heard that Srila Bhaktisiddhanta focused on hearing this before he left his body. We are reading Teachings of Lord Caitanya.


En la actualidad sigo viviendo en Huancayo. Viendo el tema de la casa, hay ideas de querer venderla.


En enero me voy a Tarapoto, viviré por allá, tengo un terreno con agua y quiero sembrar frutas y verduras. El terreno me lo vendió Prabhu Yadu y su esposa.


HpS - Ellos tambien ya estan alla? Otros? Payonidhi Das ha ido a Los Angeles, no?


Me siento mucho mejor, estoy mas tranquilo, el tiempo pasa muy rápido, ya es un año y dos meses estando solo, al comienzo es difícil entender ¡el por que pasan las cosas!!!, ya sean buenas o malas.


Mi refugio fue siempre meditar en lo que dice Srila Prabhupada en Sus Libros "Que todo lo bueno y malo que le pasa a un devoto, termina siendo bueno".


ASA - -[;0]/\___


Bueno, estuve estudiando algo de Jyotish (sinceramente es muy complicado para estos tiempos, quizá puede ayudar en algo a la Prédica).


ASA - Vedic palm reading might be more practical. Good results from some sannyasis in ISKCON.


Después estuve trabajando con un devoto editando algunos libros, haciendo algunos diseños que da en sus cursos de Astrología. Ahora no estoy trabajando, pero volveré a trabajar con el devoto para enero. El trabajo es desde mi casa o desde donde me encuentre (Todo es por Internet) (Diseño Gráfico).


En las tardes estoy llevando algunos cursos de Diseño Gráfico para actualizarme.


También en la actualidad, por las mañanas, estoy distribuyendo los libros de Srila Prabhupada y con respecto a la distribución de libros, bueno, hoy en día esta más complicado y difícil distribuir los libros de Srila Prabhupada y vivir de ello, la economía en el planeta esta más complicada y difícil, sumado a todo eso el costo de los libros de la BBT-PERÚ ha subido mucho.


HpS - Entonces, adjustamos, no? Mas libros pequenos. Inspirando la gente invertir in grandes por que Krsna va a provener el dinero para esta inversion tan bueno!

Mas libros! Mejor economia!

Comunidad Vaisnava Peru dirigiendo el mundo!


Pero bueno siempre hay algunos libros que salen, quizás no es lo que uno espera, pero, de eso se trata, depender de la misericordia de Krsna, y cuando hay tiempos difíciles ese DEPENDER de Krsna se vuelve una meditación más fuerte "Conexión".


ASA - !


Quisiera comprar una moto para poder movilizarme, sería un buen ahorro, los pasajes están caros, y gasto mucho en pasajes, quizá tener una moto ayude. Una movilidad para la distribución de libros y para muchas cosas. Quizá podría funcionar siendo muy cuidadosos al manejar.


¿Como esta usted Guru Maharaja? ¿Como esta su Salud? India, Radha Kundha, Vrindavan, me gustaría ir algún día.


HpS/ASA - Estamos annotando aqui y cada dos semanas in el Kapi Dhvaja! Jai!


En lo personal mi salud estuvo algo complicada por el tema de la altura, problemas respiratorios y del corazón, problemas digestivos, quizá uno de los motivos por los que me voy a vivir a Tarapoto.


Bueno Guru Maharaja, me despido, que Nrsimha lo proteja siempre.

Hare Krsna.🙏

Gadai Gauranga Dasa



HpS / ASA - Thank you! I hope the other letters in the Blog have important news for you also.

Become a big man in the spiritual world.

Wake up!

So much to do.

So much opportunity to change Peru now, the world.
