Hare Krishna beloved Gurudeva

Please accept our humble obeisances

All glories to Srila Prabhupada


I am deeply moved. During the las weeks reading the Srimad Bhagavatam for Bhakti Vaibhava study has led me to meditate on you. You embody Srimad Bhagavatam's values, attitudes, and behaviors, reflecting the very qualities of your Gurumaharaja. Many of my memories of your association and your words relate to my studies, and I am grateful for your integrity. Furthermore, my careful reading of Tava Pache Pache has opened a threshold of understanding I didn't know how to access. Thank you for shedding light on the meanings of the Upadesamrta and for weaving that "mandala" of relationships between Prabhupada's various texts, reality, and my own life.


I hope you are well, Gurudeva.

HpS - AgtSP. One devotee was complaining how hard it was to make other devotees into competent leaders that he could rely on.

Hansadutta Swami replied, "Srila Prabhupada made his leaders out of MUD!"

TlgSP!

Nuestro Muy Querido Gurudev, deseo que se encuentre muy bien de ánimo y bienestar. Gracias por los escritos durante Japa Joe, es muy hermoso poder estar junto a ustedes cantando los SN.

En respuesta a su pregunta: Si, estoy terminando una certificación de Neuropsicología Budista para Terapeutas. 

Ésto me permite ser acompañante de bienestar en personas con cuadros de ansiedades, depresiones, traumas, etc. Desde un abordar científico con las aplicaciones del Budhismo secular.

Ha sido de gran beneficio a nivel personal y un gran paso hacia mi naturaleza de terapeuta. 

En cuanto a mi compromiso, mantengo los principios un 99% y 16 rondas (hay días en que no alcanzo a cantarlas) aún así hay un leve gusto y calma al sentir las cuentas en mi japa, es un apego y refugio muy importante para mí, aunque cante 16 "pésimas" rondas. 

Yí Lin lo recuerda constantemente. Vendrá en unos meses más? Deseamos que si!! 

Gracias querido Guruji por leerme, por su tiempo y misericordia. 

Le dejamos un gran abrazo espiritual. 


Pd. Un recuerdo y las guirnaldas que hacemos :)

Vanca kalpa. Jay Radhe!

Our Dearest Gurudev, I hope you are in good spirits and good health. Thank you for the writings shared during Japa Joe; it is truly beautiful to be with you all, chanting the SN.


HpS/ASA - Body is O.K. Becomes dead and dull, then regular daily Sadhana, Sankirtan movement, gets us moving. Builds our intelligence, what are we supposed to do...


In response to your question: Yes, I am finishing a certification in Buddhist Neuropsychology for Therapists.


This allows me to support the well-being of people dealing with anxiety, depression, trauma, etc., using a scientific approach combined with the applications of secular Buddhism.


It has been of great personal benefit and a significant step toward embracing my nature as a therapist.


As for my commitment, I uphold the principles 99% of the time and chant 16 rounds (though there are days I don't manage to complete them all). Even so, I find a subtle sense of joy and calm in feeling the beads of my japa mala; it is a vital source of attachment and refuge for me, even if I chant 16 "terrible" rounds.


Yi Lin remembers you constantly. Will you be coming back in a few months? We certainly hope so!


Thank you, dear Guruji, for reading this, and for your time and mercy.


Sending you a big spiritual embrace.


P.S. A memento and the garlands we make :)


Vanca kalpa. Jay Radhe!


HpS - !! "big spiritual obeisances" might be more appropriate than a big spiritual embrace. 😆

Remember who needs your work as a counselor the most!!!

preaching to whom ever KRSNA puts in our daily path.


Hare Krsna!!!


When Ravana kidnapped Sita, she called our with such distress that the entire universe went off of its axis. everyone including lord brahma wanted to help her, but they were afraid of ravana.

lord brahma said, this is terrible!!!!!! but our purpose it served. ravana is a dead man.


just go on with 16/4 with enthusiasm and our purpose is served, lord caitanya's mission of giving the science of Krsna to everyone is accomplished.
