ALGTSP

Gurudeva estoy dando seguimiento a conversar, toma tiempo y esperamos las condiciones favorables para toda no es fácil.

HpS - Devotees in DF commented that visiting DF and Monterrey both would seem the best. Many devotees live in DF so it would be easy for them to attend the ceremony for Lochan Das Thakura and Jiva Goswami and the entire Parampara.

GGD. por mi parte evaluando características de facilidades. Monterrey tiene aeropuerto internacional , autopista directa NG montemorelos , tenemos poca altitud a nivel del mar 800 metros ,el aire es limpio poca población y tenemos los hospitales y clínicas Adventistas muy cerca . frontera a USA esta a 1.30 hrs , nuestra infraestructura es funcional hay facilidades de hospedaje para devotos , podemos recibir 50 a 70 devotos gracias a contar con nuevos espacios .

espero tener mas información del dialogo entre monkeys estoy atento para poder servir.

att Gadadhar Gosai Das.

HpS - Bien interesante.

Ya tenemos cuatro meces hacer planes, pero es bueno fijar unas ideas pronto, no?

Hare Krsna Dear Gurudev,

 Please accept my humble obeisances at your lotus feet.

HpS/ASA - And ours to your lotus feet or hooves, which ever your siddha deja possesses.

 All glories to Srila Prabhupada.

 All glories to Guru parampara.

 Gurudev, My comments are below for your asked questions in our previous communication

( URL - https://monkeywarrior.com/detail/16407/).

 1. BG Cover page means: How Krsna and Arjuna looking in the battle field. what going on

around Krsna & Arjuna surroundings. How SP seen and decided to put this picture on the

cover page of BG. Existing of Hanuman ji in the flag and Krsna on chariot and selection of

Kurukshetra for battlefield gives complete vision for what is going to happen in next 18

days. and how Krsna designed the next 18 days. Actually, cover page is providing full view

of all 18 chapters!   

HpS - Brahmana with little education in Puri was looking at the picture and crying, thinking how Krsna had decided to become driver of Arjuna!!

 2. Any friends or neighbours: No friends or neighbours! Mantra is my friend and neighbours

!!

HpS - Maybe adopting one squirrel as neighbor. Regular Prasada for local animals etc.!

👍

 3. Reading for your parents: Mother is a devotee. She does around 50 rounds per day. She

does full morning and evening program at home.  

Your dependent,

Girivaradhari-Gopal Das

HpS - Yare Dekhe Tare Kaha KRSNA upadesa. Share your smile with your circle of people. Let them see your comportment. Speak from the Gita and SB eg. I am the taste in water, the light of the sun, Spring!!

Hare Krishna Guru Maharaja!!!

PAMHO

AgtSP!!!

Has being a quite interesting time this couple of days, I started to give some classes of English speaking-level, write is not my strong point...

I will do a test and They chose to pick something related to Krishna consciousness so I took one of your videos that re in youtube, but seems to be a bit to complex for them, their English is not so good and Sanskrit is totally new to them, hahaha maybe you have anything that could help me to show them in English?

HpS - Hare Krsna. Do nor know what video this was.

Many are already in English and Spanish, no??

😃

Also the house that I live almost caught fire, was a scary and interesting experience that I hope never that to live again, but it helped me to realize that Krishna really protect us.

Usually I go down the hill (I`m currently living in Nihue, that little countryside place that is in a hill) running at 8:15 to catch a bus but that time I was 3 minutes late, so I was a bit scared to miss that bus, but I left a picture of Jagannatha in the dinner room so I was scared my grandpa or anyone would pick it or do something so I went to my room to left it there, so when I enter I started to catch a strange smell of smoke, I had the window open so I was thinking that was the reason, I made some fire in the Salamandra or oven (Scenically is jus a little fire place with a long aluminum tube that goes to the ceiling), so I didn`t thin much of it, I grabbed my backpack and started walking to the Salamandra and look to the top, and there was some fire, it was starting, I ran to my dad what was in the other house called for help (he was in adoration clothing) and we started to scream and star to put on the fire, I woke up my grandpa took him out of bed and yeah help with all, at the end was not really any severe damage, it left the wood a bit well done but the ceiling is still there, except the chunks that my dad took off and all the community came here alongside with the Bomberos (Fire fighters) one old teacher of mine was there and that morning I did some Ladhus so after the fire was gone most of them started to help to put the water of the house and I started to give some Prasadam, it was overall a good experience, after the fire I hear that some aunts were planning to change the ceiling so not a big catastrophe, it helped me to see how Krishna protect his devotes, there was fire in the house and if I wasn`t late thank to my dear Jagannatha my grandpa could have died and all the things in it lost, after all the fire was gone I walked to my dad Shila and I said "thanks you", (Also to my dear Jagannatha)

HpS - Many Thanks!

I wonder if that is the way that the Pandavas felt after Kuruksetra.

HpS - Maybe after escaping the house of shellac.

As always, I hope there is no "Bad" news from you and that the body that you are wearing is still in a functional order.

Hoping to see you soon!!!! Hare Krishna!!!!!

HpS - This body does not get diseases, this body is a disease!!

😆

Disease is Krsna pushing us onto the spiritual platform.

Thank you!

We have to be on the spiritual platform to be able to help others experience for the first time or revive their experience.

How is your Japa? Vidya vadu jivanam. Kirtan. Then you get inspiration to preach!!!!

So much guidance we can give the world!!!

All respects to your family!!!

Hare Krishna!!

Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada!

That was a quick reply! I did not want to make my letter long with too many details but I don't mind writing more if you want to know!

Our three kids are now 12 (almost 13- ), 11, and 9 years old. I added some photos last time, I am not sure if you saw them. This was two years ago. The oldest, Audharya, will be starting public school this year!! I have been homeschooling the kids for the last three years. It's hard work and I started to enjoy it slowly after finding a rhythm. Yogendra has been teaching for the last 5 years here in Nova Scotia. And he is taking care of two highland cows!!

I don't have too many friends. It's lonely for me but I do have Yogendra. I also get association through the bhakti sastri course I am taking online on Mondays. It's fun to learn Prabhupada's books formally. I am not super into online things but the class I can do. Oh! And I love kirtan. It is my favourite service and I listen and sing as much as I can at home.

I saw you on Namarasa's podcast from a while ago!! I really appreciate that you still talk about the same things after all this time! And you are very humourous!! Do you have a website or something that has recordings of recent lectures?

HpS/ASA - 🐒

Karuna-sakti Devi Dasi

[email protected]

Okay, I will finish now.

Your humble servant,

Rasa-mandali dasi

HpS/ASA - You are not finished. You are just starting.

You have become a victim of Nimai's mercy now, and in your next life you [and all of us] will directly take birth in Nabadvipa where He is personally present enjoying his pastimes.

😊🙏🙇🏻‍♀️

🌸🌸🌸👣 🌸🌸🌸

Hare Krishna, dear Gurudeva. Please accept my most respectful obeisances at your merciful feet. All glories to Srila Prabhupada! Jaya Radhe! Jaya Krishna! Jaya Vrindavana dham!

How are you, Gurudeva? I hope you are doing well. Your presence always ignites a lamp of enthusiasm in the heart of devotees 🔥🧡🥹🙏

I am writing to you after a long time, and I am very sorry for that. These last few years I've been studying, and I recently received my bachelor's degree in Strategic Design and Innovation from ISIL school, I know this knowledge can be used for Srila Prabhupada's mission. I know your time is very valuable Gurudeva, so I will try to give you a quick update on my sadhana report:

·        4 Principles: OK. And trying to follow them on a subtle level as well. Avoid scrolling on my phone without a purpose.

·        16 Rounds and 3 Gayatris: OK. I am chanting the 16 rounds daily, trying to overcome offensive chanting.

·        Devotional service as a pujari:

At home: We worship our deities early in the morning and recently also our beloved Govardhan Sila, Dwarka Sila, and 3 Salagram Silas. We take turns every other day bathing them with Ganges water and Tulasi leaves, a comfortable asana and also offering everyone water, fruit, puja, and kirtan in the mornings.

At the temple:

-ISKCON Miraflores: twice a month. We also serve at festivals.

Facilitating workshops for young devotees.

-ISKCON Chosica: Twice a month we cook, make offerings, and perform puja. The other sunday, Gandharva gives a SB class.

Studies (and preaching plan): I am studying Bhakti-sastri course, this time, at Prabhu Param Padam's school, where, as part of the evaluations, we have to carry out a missionary project based on the teachings of the sastra (Bhagavad-gita) I am designing a manual called "The Charioteer's Manual" for junior preachers (devotees of temples or congregation) to lead Bhagavad-gita study groups in partnership, based on the Bhakti-vrksa format. I think it's very good; it pushes me out of my comfort zone. (I think I'll give you details in another letter).

Guru seva: Also, I'm finishing the translation of “An Introductory Course Based On Srila Jiva Gosvami's Grammar" into Spanish that you commissioned me to do some time ago. I hope to have it ready by October.

Please give me your blessings so that I can carry out these services in the best possible way and without delay.

Trying to be your disciple

Indira-sakti Devi dasi 😊🙏🙇🏻‍♀️

HpS-ASA - Hare Krsna. Yes, has been some time since news.

🙂

Yet, good news.

I think you had some challenges in carrying on but you did and it has made you stronger spiritually?

Who do you have as friends, Sankirtan partners, in the Yatra?

Hare Krsna Guru Maharaja.

Por favor acepte mis respetuosas reverencias.

Todas las glorias sean para Srila Prabhupada!

Vengo a reportarme!

Primero quiero comentarle que después de meditarlo, quise volver a intentar servir NIOS Chile.

Hasta hoy hemos logrado formar un grupo de WhatsApp con los miembros, y Prabhu Arjuna está haciendo los trámites para legalizar NIOS Chile. Ya hicimos votación para la directiva y directores.

Nos falta mucho para potenciar el equipo; hay muchos desafíos a la hora de reunirse, y de comunicación inmediata, pero se han logrado algunas cosas.

Deseo que podamos estar más alineados y trabajando en equipo, por lo que, quisiera pedirle consejos para poder lograr eso y poder servir mejor.

En Su última visita fue difícil servir, pero esperamos que en esta siguiente visita logremos mayor unidad y mejor comunicación para trabajar como en los viejos tiempos.

HpS/ASA - TlgaSP!!! Puede cominicar la estructura de NIOS Chile y la relacion con NIOS en EEUU aqui_

Quisiera contarle que mi padre está con un cáncer etapa 4. Ha estado hospitalizado por 9 días, por enfermedades que han surgido de su diagnóstico principal.

Su cuerpo tiene diversas molestias. Él es una persona que trabajó desde niño y ha tenido una vida de mucho esfuerzo.

Hace un tiempo he estado aplicando Reiki para aliviar diversas dolencias, y últimamente hemos estado cantando Nrsimha Pranam y Maha Mantra en su habitación.

ASA - La enfermedad es buen impulos para realizar vida en la etapa espiritualidad, no? Esta persepctiva sugere con su padre????

Bueno Gurudev, nosotros en general estamos bien, cantando nuestra japa y cumpliendo con los deberes.

Jagannatha Caran está impartiendo un Curso de Introducción al Bhakti Yoga online y haciendo su servicio en el Comité de Iniciaciones.

Sukadeva e Indira están cantando 2 rondas diariamente y estamos asistiendo a algunos programas del templo y en casa de devotos. Sukadeva ha estado participando en programas para devotos adolescentes que están organizando los hijos de Maha Anandini Radha DD.

Madre Indranila dd, esposa de Prabhu Adikesava está de visita en Chile junto a sus 4 hijas, y hemos podido tomar su asociación en algunos programas.

Bueno, estamos ajustando la vida para que desde octubre pueda realizar servicios regulares en el templo e impartir el "Curso Introductorio de Srila Prabhupada"👍

.

Estas son las noticias por ahora Gurudev.

Quedo atenta a Sus palabras.

Su aspirante a sirviente

Priyasakhi Devi Dasi

*Dejo algunas fotos: Reunión jóvenes, Servicio a Sri Sri GN, Budas de mi padre.

HpS - Jaya! Claro, predicar significa vivir las enseñanzas, no?

Tengo que ser humilde si predico la humildad.

🙂
