HPS/ASA - Hare Krisheema!

The electricity died in our wing of the Castle yesterday and we had to decamp in the dark to another room.

It is fine.

Wonderful!

Krsna-krpa.

Yet, we tried to write a comment to this first class Blog post without our portable keyboard and after 15-minutes of writing we lost the whole thing!

Now we got into our old room and they are trying to fix the electrical failure and got the portable keyboard and are writing again.

🌻

First, I guess we 🐵 🐷 🐀 want to thank all the participants who are broadcasting the ASA Carnival Media.

We feel our activities may be contaminating people rather than helping them, but... by the mercy of Srila Prabhupada, maybe all of us can act like dancing dogs in his traveling circus and do useful things for the King 👑 of Vaikuntha!

Abhinandana Das - How is your Brahma-muhurta? Sankirtan? Leading a local band?

Srila Prabhupada has made us all GBC Secretaries of our Bead Bags for a minimum of 16-rounds/day, no?

In general, we apologize that commenting on and posting Blog posts is slow, but in part it is our bodies age and situation and otherwise our insincerity.

In one week now we are back in the USA.

We are quite conscious that at any moment war can come to our own neighborhood with global weapons in the hands of many unstable people.

Maybe no more internet, so do our Sankirtan locally. Die and continue with our Sankirtan in the original ISKCON (New Braja Mandala) just like we are doing now!!?

Our health is great. Of course, our body is old 70% non-functional sensually and mentally, but our intellect seems to be improving.

Public program at the Municipality on the 30th.

Every day now, packing for trip to USA, Richmond, Nashville, Houston...

SANKIRTAN.

4:00PM. - A few more Blog letters, then bath and Temple Room?

Se que soy ingrato con tanta misericordia que me has otorgado en esta vida y te escribo porque pese a todo te acuerdas siempre de este imperfecto servidor. Es verdad que últimamente estuve inmerso en mis actividades familiares y laborales quizá descuidé un poco escuchar tus clases sin embargo seguí practicando el canto de mis rondas y Gayatris que con mucho amor me otorgaste. Debo contarte que estoy estudiando el Bakty Vaibhaba en el VTE Latino con P. Paranpadam Das de Argentina, estamos ahora por finalizar el Canto II del S.B. Asimismo sigo sirviendo en el CPO PERU viendo la parte legal y todo lo que pueda favorecer en proteger a las víctimas y a la infancia dentro de ISKCON PERU. En cuanto a mi servicio de adoración a la deidad por esta temporada de invierno lo he suspendido ya que el clima es muy frio y afecta mi salud. En lo que respecta a temas administrativos voy a evitar contarte los detalles porque se trata de ciertos desacuerdos con algunos de mis hermanos espirituales y se que tu tienes que resolver cosas más importantes en tus actividades de Sankirtan. Quizá mi naturaleza de Abogado hace que por voluntad propia o por casualidad siempre me meta en problemas por eso prefiero mantenerme un poco distante de algunos de ellos que no armonizan con mi forma de pensar y de actuar. El criterio de Justicia material también es variado y muchas veces contradictorio para aplicar en sociedades donde todos piensan distinto, pero en fin sigo adelante. Personalmente no me interesa la política dentro de la administración, pero si me doy cuenta de todo lo que ocurre pese a ello oriento legalmente a quien se lo merece porque los defectos personales de traición, desconfianza, dobleces o hipocresía son los mismos incluso entre devotos, mi defecto mayor es decirlo y hablar claro a lo mejor eso no les gusta a algunos hermanos quienes prefieren que este callado o guarde silencio. Pienso que tanto tu como las autoridades me dieron un servicio apropiado en el CPO que está acorde a mi naturaleza, pero con sinceridad te digo mi querido Gurudev que he comprobado y encontrado basura y polvo que se guarda debajo de la alfombra, lo digo de la mejor manera, pero se que es una realidad que, si conoces, no juzgo a nadie más bien este servicio me hace entender que soy imperfecto y camino en el sendero correcto. No quiero agradar a todos mis hermanos menos me interesa lograr eso, solo se que tu me seguirás guiando en esta vida y en la próxima. Gracias Gurudeva por leer mi carta. Mis reverencias.

hps//asa = agtsp. paoho. is so nice to read you here and by whatsapp.

we could not read all this letter because it is to detailed-in spanish for our old brain. makes us sad, but we did understand a lot.

yes, in politics and admnistration you can't please all of the people, all of the time.

but that is administration. then we put it aside and have kirtan together.

what canto are you on now?

who are your study partners?

in Germany it is very cold, no heat in the building, so Prabhupada told the pujari he could bathe only once a day!!

your report seems wonderful.

we hope you send us more news, shorter, with google translate and improve your service to ISKCON more and more.

make Peru the leader for the world.

Kaliyuga Kings!!

Hare Krsna Guru Maharaja

Por favor acepte mis más respetuosas reverencias.

Todas las glorias sean para Srila Prabhupada.

Todas las glorias a usted.

Gurudev, espero que se encuentre muy bien junto a la asociación de Maharaja Yadunandana Swami, y devotos y devotas en Nueva Vrajamandala.

Siempre es tan encantador la compañía de los devotos y servir junto a ellos.

Quiero contarle que hemos abierto un almacén de productos veganos y vegetarianos, y estamos vendiendo varios productos hechos por devotos. Prasadam y libros de Srila Prabhupada. Esperando hacer un poco de Sankirtan. Krsna permitió hacer esto, quizá permita hacer cosas más grandes mientras esto avanza.

Ya se fue un libro, y mucho prasadam 😊

Donde? Musica? Hermosa muestra de literatura? 🦍👍👍👍

También quiero contarle que hemos creado una página web para cursos de Bhaktas, Discípulos y Bhakti Sastri. Aún no está disponible el aula virtual. Esperamos abrirla el año 2025. Así puedo seguir con los cursos.

Super bueno si es semi-presential! Sanga físico una vez cada semestre.

Continuamos con BVB.

Los niños están cantando 1 ronda cada día, y cada año aumentarán 1 ronda más. Pade pade...

Participamos en la mesa de libros para la conferencia de Radhika Raman Prabhu en IF, y organizamos junto a Ekangi dd y Krsangi dd una taller de Homeschooling dictado por madre Amrta Keli.

Bueno, esas son algunas noticias.

Muchas gracias por leer Gurudev.

Aquí seguimos cumpliendo nuestros votos.

Super👍👍👍 buen fotos.

Prof Claudia Lira, no?

All Glory to Srila Prabhupada, and All Glory to Sankirtan Movement by Sri Gour Nitay.

Please accept my humbles obeisances unto your lotus feet.

HpSwami/ASA - Very inspiring, agtSP, to get your association.

I think we still have lettuce feet covering our lotus feet.

You?

Dear Girudeva:

I hope you are in good health, thank you for your visits to India and Spain, they are very inspiring and fill us with enthusiasm to continue chanting the rounds and for take association with devotees.

I have been studying the TPP, reading the Krsna book, and I have been carrying out the month of Kartik in association with the devotees of the cultural center Radha Govinda.

HpSwami/ASA - Who, Where are they? 😃

I have heard that there are no very difficult rules for chanting the Holy Name in Sik-Astak, and I know that the most basic thing to practice Krishna consciousness is to chant the japa, I also remember that you have instructed us to get up early and chant the rounds, to strive to do good rounds. About everything related to the Sankirtan process, again I have questions:

*What is needed to start chanting rounds? Is a certain age required, physical conditions, clothing, schedule, doing them in a certain direction, or with a specific position or having a Guru? What are the minimum requirements.

HpSwami/ASA - Anyone, agtNG, can chant. Even a dog can take part dance in ecstacy.

Chant Holy Names is like eating food. There will always be an effect, like eating food if we eat according to a nice standard there will be more result.

Follow the four principles more and more strictly. Chanting with better:

Sankirtan associates,

Daily schedule,

Pronunciation,

Meaning,

Love ❤️.

*In NOD about Japa say: Chanting a mantra or hymn softly and slowly is called japa... How slowly should they be chanting?

HpSwami ASA - Not so slowly that your mind wanders nor so fast you don't chant with meaning

*How important is it to avoid the 10 offenses when chanting the Holy Name?

HpSwami ASA--Like avoiding pour water on the wood when you are trying to start a fire.

Greatest offense is to stop chanting, no?

*Can rounds or any rounds be substituted for a period of Kirtan?

Olive oil substituted for Ghee.

*What are the minimum requirements to belong to ISKCON?

Life Membership. Initiated members. Each Temple has particular ethos for Congregating members.

Some not members but friends and guests.

What topics should be avoided with devotees from other sangas?

NOI 4-6 has good details, no?

Lord Jesus Christ belongs to Catholic sanga, no? He is described in NOI 5?

Thaks a lot for your very valuable attention, your crew member. ⛵️. ⛵️. .⛵️

AniruddhaKrishna Das

Thank, agtSP, you.

4.50pm 🌞 here in NVM, Madrid, Guadalajara, Brihuega, Spain.

Prepare to go for BIG Home Program 🏠🏡🏡 now.

Gadadhara Das and family.

Wish you [all] where here.

See you soon in Nabadvipa with Nimai?

HK Dandavats Pranavs Maharaj! PAMHO AGTSP!

All glories to Sri Sri Guru and Gauranga!

How are you?

HpS/ASA --- Probably, agtSP, just like you. Advancing in serving Krsna in this hospital!!

It’s been quite a while since I don’t write you, I was following you via the Monkey Warrior WhatsApp group and it has been good to see you what seemed to be happy in that country side temple, with Guru Prasad Swami was it??

HpS - Was Yadunandana Swami. Yes, we also slow to answer. Went to Radha kunda for three weeks!

❗

❗

❗

Well here I’ve been feeling better thanks to your advice and the local devotees support, I kept myself away from my ex and I’m getting better. I’ve been working on my Sadhana, waking up at 3am, 3:30 sometimes, and I’m doing some morning and simple yoga routine, followed by a Japa session, and before that I’m worshiping my Gaura Nitai deities, and a picture of Radha Krishna (in the meanwhile I’m recovering economically in order to acquire Radha Krishna murtis) and also Nrishimhadev.

I have had certain subtle attacks time ago, and Prabhu Sankirtaneshvara told me I should worship Narasimha, and read the Narayan Kavacham chapter from the SB.

So I’ve been working very happily on my routine as I told you and discovered that I have to be very strict with what I eat for instance. So I keep associating with the devotees, doing service and attending to regular Sunday programs. Ans I’m hearing Prabhupada’s lectures daily! That gives me a punch of energy!

Maharaj I’m keeping myself as far away as possible from external mayas, but internal mayas appear to have gained some extra strength, I’m trying to figure out how to become chaste, could you please give me some advice regarding that?

HpS - For us, agtSP, it was great help when we started offer bath to our picture of Radha and Krsna on our altar in Sacrament.

Even though with a very nice wife, we found our sex, romantic, desire satisfied when we offer Radha and Krsna nice clothes, bath, perfume etc.

At least clean their altar and look for flowers.

Sex desire :>>

Maharaj there’s another thing I would like to please ask you, as I told you some years ago I wasn’t quite following vaishnavism, and was by then when we had our daughter with Ivanna, and well now I feel, as I told you, our relationship would be impossible, we have taken different paths, so I’ve heard from Dhanvantari Swami that marrying more than once entangles oneself even more to samsara, so my question is, should I remain unmarried the rest of my life? Should I get married in order to have some support for raising my child?

HpS - Everyone is different. For me, one nice wife with nice scratching and biting was enough.

We both tried our best to be married couple, but could see it was not going to work at that point.

So, I headed to Sannyasa and after six hears she remarried.

Get married or don't get married. Look at the weather forecast and take an umbrella or don't take and umbrella.

Practical decision.

Prayer to Krsna for advice... Hare Krsna Hare Rama...

Talk to nice people, devotees who know you.

See all the advice in SP's books, and make some choice.

Not too important.

but..

99999 x more important.

Chant Hare Krsna.

... on beads,

.... following four princely pals,

... regular Temple morning program,

... perfect you Sankirtan in Srila Prabhupada's orchestra!!

Thank you!!!

THe whole world thanks you.

thank you very much for everything!

HK!

nuestro sistema de agricultura esta funcionando poco esfuerzo y mucho resultado , el restaurante y el Hostal cada ves mejor ,,estamos importando al Chef Narayan Para prabhu de argentina. nuestro hermano espiritual esta interesado en ventor. a Monterrey a trabajar en el restaurante.

Please accept my obeisances

All Glories Srila Prabhupada and Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu's Sankirtan movement.

We are grateful to the Supreme Personality of Godhead Govinda for allowing us his association and being able to aspire to become Vaisnavas. After being absent for some time I was thinking and reflecting on how to be a better servant, and I understood that work and external effort only generate anxiety and disturbance of the mind. Addicted to coffee my intelligence was confused but by causeless mercy we are restored to stable service through the study of Srimad Bhagavatam and 16 Rounds. Now we are starting Bhaktivaibhava third canto with Radhika Nagar Prabhu and our intelligence is getting purified. Seeing Oka Humility of Vidura, your classes are good reference to study and have a good understanding.

HpSwami / ASA --- AgtSP!! Paoho. We must echo a lot of what you say.

We have not been able to answer posts here in the Blog, your posts, even though we want to.

No coffee but too many popsicles.

Now we are in Spain, rural community like your Monterrey community but older.

So much they have learned.

Hope you all can visit here sometime and Yadu Swami and others visit you.

The world is obviously terrrible, so, so many people are looking for solution.

You have it.

We have it.

We were able to form a Civil Association, New Govardhana Montemorelos, before the Mexican government thanks to the help of members dedicated to obtaining results (Guna Vira Prabhu and Bhakta Diego). We are the president, secretary and treasurer. There are lifelong members who contribute monthly financially. Next October, Prabhu Hari Cakra, a disciple of Prabhupada, will be arriving. He is in Malaga, Spain, but he feels a responsibility to PREACH in Latin America and wants us to distribute books and join forces to establish a strong program in Montemorelos.

ASA -- Hope you can get at least one more person to be Secretary/Treasurer!!!

Our agricultural system is working with little effort and a lot of results. The restaurant and the hostel are getting better and better. We are importing Chef Narayan Para Prabhu from Argentina. Our spiritual brother is interested in vending. He will come to Monterrey to work in the restaurant.

ASA - He is also champion Judo teacher!!

Gurudeva, I miss you very much and at any moment I will look for you at Radha Kunda and listen to your kirtan. Please forgive my offenses. I am maturing and understanding the great treasure of Bhakti.

I am reporting my activities to the GBC and I thank you for appreciating my enthusiasm and emphasizing that action is better than inaction. Or passion than ignorance. The holy name provides the nutrients to cultivate goodness and serve better.

Family life is like a fortress that protects me and helps me stay safe. With the constant occupation and supervision of my wife I can be morally exemplary. Without a doubt, I appreciate the Grihasta ashram more than ever. I have many memories and advice that I keep in my heart and I am eternally grateful to you for OPENING MY EYES WITH SO MUCH LOVE AND WISDOM.

HpS - 🐵 👍 👍 👍

Let's continue. Making plans and arrangements to conquer and continue the fight in Sankirtan, we understand that ISKCON is a young institution with ancient knowledge and we are understanding our position, I am slow to understand but I do not give up in my process, I just need time to think and have a better perspective.

HpS - 😃 We remember that Srila Prabhupada said, "So, you can make plans for serving Krsna, but better to just chant Hare Krsna.".

Plans for Sankirtan!!!

16/4 for Sankirtant ❣ ❗

We are grateful and we are here to serve you.

Your aspiring servant, the fallen Gadadhara Gosai Das of Mexico.
