Mi servicio: Guirnaldas!

2 years, 9 months ago by dpsanchezm in Personal Sadhana Reports

Hare Krishna Maharaja,

Por favor acepte mis respetuosas reverencias.

Le comento que desde hace 4 años realizo un servicio fijo en el Templo. Hacer las guirnaldas es un lindo servicio, el cual puedo desarrollar con mucho amor y devoción. Participo del servicio todos los jueves y por supuesto para los festivales, decorando el altar con hermosas flores y cintas de colores.


Muchas gracias Maharaja por permitirme compartirle algunas fotografías de mi servicio.

Hare Krishna Maharaja,

Please accept my respectful obeisances.

I tell him that for 4 years I have been doing a permanent service in the Temple. Making the garlands is a beautiful service, which I can develop with a lot of love and devotion. I participate in the service every Thursday and of course for the festivals, decorating the altar with beautiful flowers and colored ribbons.


Thank you very much Maharaja for allowing me to share some pictures of my service with you.

his servant,

HpS - ASA - AGTSP!!! In San Francisco the floral shops sold garlands from Hawaii. I think now they might be like $70 each!

Offering Krsna nice garlands and flowers is not a small thing.

I hope the systematic nature of your service extends to organize your life, other service, and add color to it.

Why not do the same job with the Gopis in Goloka?

There the flowers are people.


Very nice, informative photos. After our Lion on a Bicycle we offered some flowers.



Send some photos of your good self with some friends?


Ideas para artes vaisnavas

All glories to Srila Prabhupada


I wanted to tell you that I have done well in high school, learning interesting things, and well, I have a hard time accepting it because I see little of it, but mine is in the field of arts and the cultural industry, so I must dedicate myself and develop myself in that area.


My north is communications, culture and the arts.


Despite that, I also have skills for other things, such as administration, guidance and business.


It's hard for me to stay fixed doing just one thing, so I think that over time I'll dedicate myself to different occupations, but within the area that I mentioned before.


HpS - Sounds good. Who is helping you manage your mind?


I wanted to ask your advice on how to deal with these areas in connection with Krishna consciousness.


In music you advised me to compose songs based on the poems of the acaryas.


HpS - Yes, we commented on your progress in other post. Thank you.


In illustration I am good at working with graphite, I am doing a portrait of Prabhupada. I have read that Prabhupada liked the works for the books to be realistic, but I don't know if that applies to all devotional works. Any idea for the graphic part? I've heard a few times that it would be interesting to do comics.


HpS - Some stuff, just do from your own inspiration, delight, but the rest try to do in the practical Sankirtan association of other ISKCON devotees.


In writing I have learned some things in the race. I once heard from you in a class that you can take a pastime from Srimad Bhagavatam and adapt it to modern life for example, can I do that? or put it in a different and attractive context. I've thought about writing philosophically, but people like stories better.


HpS - Yes, but apply principle above.


The other thing is that I have not advanced in the proposal to make a connection between Srimad Bhagavatam and Don Quixote de la Mancha, you also said that you could do a rehearsal of a scene for example, I have not done anything with the excuse of first finishing read Prabhupada's books.


And well, those are the three areas that I dominate the most, perhaps in the future these can be united in the audiovisual field.


The art of theater does not go with me, I am ashamed to do it, to practice it, it is not natural for me, but I understand that it is very therapeutic. Maybe in the future Krishna will bless me to get into this art.


I like all artistic expressions, I would love to experience them all, but I am not unlimited, only Krishna can.


Well Gurudeva, thank you very much. At the moment I think that making devotional art is the beginning for the expiation of what happened in the temple, since they extended the period in which I cannot go to the temple for judicial reasons, so I still cannot do service in that place, I only this remains.


I plan to apply everything I have learned in Institute to my artistic career. I wish to be of help to Vaisnavas.

your servant

Piyari Mohan Das


HpS - Are you making correspondences, letters, with other devotees besides this Blog???

Thank you for you efforts.

Very important.

Yes, should do them in part as expiation for moments of temporary insanity, but especially for apologizing for offences, voluntary violence.

When we are the victims of these material reactions, we should not let ourselves become "victims". No, that is Maya's trick. "I am not a victim! I am in control of my attitude to the violence this person is aiming at me, my body, and I chose to help them."

Quería contarle que me ha ido bien en el instituto, aprendiendo cosas interesante, y bueno, me cuesta aceptarlo por que lo veo poca cosa, pero lo mío va por el ámbito de las artes y la industria cultural, así que debo dedicarme y desenvolverme en esa área.


Mi norte son las comunicaciones, la cultura y las artes.


A pesar de eso también tengo habilidades para otras cosas, como la administración, la orientación y los negocios.


Me cuesta quedarme fijo haciendo una sola cosa, así creo que a través del tiempo me dedicaré a diferentes ocupaciones, pero dentro de el área que antes le comentaba.


Quería pedir su consejo para saber como desenvolverme en estas areas en conexión con la conciencia de Krishna.


En la música usted me aconsejó componer canciones en base a los poemas de los acaryas.


En la ilustración soy bueno trabajando con grafito, estoy haciendo un retrato de Prabhupada. He leído que a Prabhupada le gustaba que las obras para los libros fueran realistas, pero no se si eso aplica para todas las obras devocionales.

¿Alguna idea para la parte gráfica? He escuchado algunas veces que sería interesante hacer comics.


En la escritura he aprendido algunas cosas en la carrera. Una vez escuché de usted en una clase de que se puede tomar un pasatiempo del Srimad Bhagavatam y adaptarlo a la vida moderna por ejemplo, ¿puedo hacer eso? o ponerlo en un contexto diferente y atractivo. He pensado en escribir de manera filosófica, pero a la gente le gustan más las historias.


Lo otro es que no he avanzado en la propuesta de hacer una conexión del Srimad Bhagavatam con El Quijote de la Mancha, usted también dijo que se podía hacer una ensayo de una escena por ejemplo, no he hecho nada con la escusa de primero terminar de leer los libros de Prabhupada.


Y bueno, esas son las tres áreas que más domino, tal vez en el futuro estas se puedan unir en lo audiovisual.


El arte del teatro no va conmigo, me da vergüenza hacerlo, practicarlo, no es natural para mi, pero entiendo que es muy terapéutico. Tal vez en el futuro Krishna me bendiga para poder adentrarme en esta arte.


Me gustan todas las expresiones artísticas, me encantaría experimentarlas todas, pero no soy ilimitado, solo Krishna puede.


Bueno Gurudeva, muchas gracias. Por el momento creo que hacer arte devocional es el comienzo para la expiación de lo sucedido en el templo, ya que extendieron el plazo en que no puedo ir al templo por cuestiones judiciales, así que todavía no puedo hacer servicio en ese lugar, solo me queda esto.


Pienso aplicar todo lo que he aprendido en el instituto en mi carrera artística. Deseo sea de ayuda para los vaisnavas.

I have seen your photos and videos in spain it's really wonderful. The band that was live when arrived it was so refreshing, sometimes the kirtan is so loud that the mahamantra is covered.

Deseo se encuentre bien de salud al recibo de esta carta, lo tengo presente en mi corazón, pero me doy cuenta de lo mediocre que soy espiritualmente y de la misericordia que necesito de su parte para seguir avanzando.


Le pregunté en una carta anterior si usted me podía enviar un listado de canciones vaisnavas que yo pudiera adaptarlas al español, y usted me pidió que le enviara las que ya he compuesto hasta el momento, así que aquí se las dejo. En la descripción del video está la letra en español.

I hope you are in good health upon receipt of this letter, I have it in my heart, but I realize how mediocre I am spiritually and the mercy I need from you to continue advancing.


I asked you in a previous letter if you could send me a list of Vaisnava songs that I could adapt to Spanish, and you asked me to send you the ones that I have already composed so far, so here I leave them. In the description of the video is the lyrics in Spanish.

Well Gurudeva, depending on what you think, I would like to have a list of many Vaisnava songs to work on and fulfill your instruction.


Thank you Gurudeva

HpS - We listened to clips of the songs and read some of the lyrics. Of course, we are 90% incompetent to judge them since we are not poetically fluent in Spanish.

You need someone else to review them.

What about Visvanatha Chakravarti Das or others?

Yourself, you can criticize them after you finish them and the sit for a few weeks, and then you will see room for improvement.

Your path is correct. Continue.

Composition, performance, criticism.

Hare Krsna dear Gurudeva

All glories to Srila Prabhupada!!


I hope you are in very good health. Unfortunately I couldn't follow you on the morning program but I read the Blog relatively frequently.


Hps/ASA - I hope that it is useful, that NIOS/ASA are one resource amongst others in your connection with Srila Prabhupada.

'he radhe vraja devike! he nanda suno kutah'?


At the moment, Indira Sakti and I are in Lima attending to some family emergencies. We hope to return to the mountains in 10 days, but with the commitment to return to the city more often because we are needed here.


Murari gupta would heal his patients spiritual ills along with their material ills.


The service in the MoE flows calmly. The regional representatives are now complete, having incorporated Aravinda das and Paramatma das.

On the other hand, we are organizing an educational community-program, initially for teachers only, with a view to incorporating other devotees in the future.

We have begun to meet fortnightly to discuss topics of common interest, organize training courses and possible publications, databases, seminars, etc.

The response has been relatively good, although I think more enthusiasm is needed (enthusiasm seems like the desirable jewel in these gray days).


We are also advancing in the organization of the Bhakti Vaibhava course for the Guayaquil temple, in charge of Karuna-nitay Prabhu and Mitravinda devi dasi.

Also, I'm giving Bhagavad-gita classes for the ISKCON Buenos Aires temple.



Indira Sakti and I are fine,

consolidated in a good marriage in which the presence of the Lord is never missed for long. My work as a teacher and researcher in visual and cultural issues has found new opportunities. It is interesting to observe the cultural theory as a distorted reflection of the sastra, sometimes related, sometimes contrary, but as a fragment of an archeology to be reconstructed from the sastric perspective.

In the next post I will send you two article proposals for the Kapi Dhvaja as you requested earlier.


HpS - The work you describe is excellent. It needs to be distributed. Of course, Abhirama Th. Das', NIOS's, Solaris is one good avenue. Do you know others?


Gurumaharaja, do you allow me to learn and perform Homa yajna? A need has arisen and I want to know if you agree with it. Basically it is to deal with domestic situations. My sadhana standard is fine.


If you are a Brahmana, of course, you can do it. You need to learn from an expert how to do it. How are you connected to GBC, Temple President et al?


Always praying for your health and well-being

HpS - Hare Krsna. Hare Rama. Let us look at another letter. It is 10.55PM here in Brihuega, Spain, but only now is the weather cooling so that we can work. During the day it is hot and a siesta is natural.

Thank you.

We hope your next article include nice art!
