Disciple report 2022

—

2022 april and after has been an important year for me. I bought a ticket to Sadhu Sangha 2022 in spanish fork utah & i thought i want to be chanting 16 rounds again when i attend the event in the end of may.

Devotees in the ISV (Iskcon Silicon Valley) Sangha are very active with regular online and in-person community events. Pavani Bhakti dd started an online zoom call 5-7am early in april.

I joined the call monday-friday & was getting all my rounds done before 8am almost every day. I was getting a greater amount of taste or reciprocation during the chanting than i ever had save for a few special moments in years past. Ive had to make up rounds the next day very few times since then.

My current daily schedule mon-fri is 4am call my Mom and read either Bhagavatam or a Catholic book she chooses on alternating days. 5-6:30 zoom call with Pavani and Devotees. 6:30 we read a chapter of Bhagavad Gita & Pavani narrates a power point that brings up key concepts from the chapter. 7:30 i Join a zoom call with ISV devotees Where we have have aarti, guru puja, read a verse from Bhagavatam & then have a discussion that we take turns leading. We each lead the discussion around once a week. This ends around 8:30. After making breakfast prasadam, i offer it on my home altar & take a shower & Then worship for around 30 minutes. I do this daily. Phone call with my Mom and two different devotee groups is Monday through friday.

I used to work saturday and sunday. Ive been taking those days off so i have a chance to make it to ISV saturday and Berkeley sunday. I dont make the saturdays at ISV as regularly as id planned. Ill usually take it as a ‘slack day’ and wake up with no alarm saturday and sunday. This year ive attended 4 Ratha YAtras- Boise, LA, San Francisco, Sacramento. Ive bought three Bhagavatam sets, distributed one, sponsored another, and have one i was going to give to another devotee to find out she had a set, so have it on a top shelf until it goes to someone. They were bought on Bhaktivinod Thakur’s appearance day, Radhastami & Bhadra Purnim.

My Girlfriend Cecilia Accidentally broke Tulsi’s branch putting her outside into this protective mesh container that is stretched on a metal mesh frAme. I saved the branch til Kartik & made it into a ghee lamp that i offered to the Deities in Berkeley & used it to light another devotees lamp. I went on a trip to portland with two other devotee friends, in four days/three nights we distributed Over a ton of books and collected nearly 2k donations.

Gurudeva, i know you are REALLY busy! I checked the Kapi Dvaja from the last time i messaged you here in the blog. I hope you are still able to keep a healthy balance, do not spread yourself too thin & have the time to use for what you want to do & leave room to be filled with blessings from Krishna, Srila Prabhupada & devotees & disciples.

I have a little bad news i broke a principle twice in october & have occasionaly looked into things that dont help my relationship with Krishna or my little sankirtan. The reciprocation i was feeling during chanting and doing puja had really tapered off from late summer into october. After those incidents id like to think ive been able to reset a little and do my best to really chant and worship in a prayerful mood. Sorry to go on so long here Gurudeva! If there is anything else you’d like to know about me or anyone here in the bay area or any way i can be of some service please let me know. Jaya Gurudeva! Jaya Prabhupada!

your servant,

Loka Bandhu Rama Das

We just finished honoring Radha Shyamasundara's Raja Bhoga, and before that returned from our daily morning Parikrama of Radha-kunda.

It is always a very intense educational experience.

How are you?

How is your Sankirtan of the Holy Names?

Looking at our DTC (Diary of a Traveling Creature) for this last fortnight we see a jumble of spiritual activities.

One of then is our daily fight with tongue, belly and body to not make Prasadam the object of our lust.

Trying to eat once a day.

PIGGY'S PARTING PEARLS

Now Sun is at November 8th, 1.21PM.

   16-nice rounds done.

Arthiritis in our left wrist, right elbow and right knee.

You?

Fasting indoors for Lunar Eclipse from 9.15am to 6.15pm.

Did some Blog mail.

Does anyone want to take Sannyasa? We got this really spiffy Mantra to pass on and I guess this may be the last chance we have to do it.

Also, we want to resign as Diksa guru. Anyone want to take up that job?

Be demur but not timid!

I guess we will close our accounting year December 31st. We liked doing it end of Vaisnava year, end of Kartika, today, but GBC seems to be in Srila Prabhupada's general humor of "Render unto Caesar that which is Caesar's", so we close on the secular year.

Little hard to update the Disciple list but is seems to be under control.

O.K.

Tha...  Tha.... That's all, Folks!

See you in Sankirtan! (Twitter [Blog])

[11/7, 11:31 AM] : Xavier:

Thank you.

So it seems like your happy and satisfied with whatever they are doing.

I'm very disheartened to see the response of your being ok with whatever they do. 

But you must be having some very good reasons for the same.

Thank you

ASA/TB - Esteemed Xavier, there is response from your esteemed wife at https://monkeywarrior.com/detail/13610/ to our post of your Whatsapp at: https://monkeywarrior.com/detail/13608/

We did not say that we are happy with what they are doing in regards to your first comments.

We said that we had not heard any such thing from them or deduced any such murder plan from their actions of speech.

Really, we are not capable of dealing with such domestic details being only Sannyasis, B'caris, and in the majority not even human.

HpSwami posted a very well thought-out, practical perspective on divorce in an earlier Blog post.

He can't do much more than that.

It takes us 20-minutes to cut and paste the links to transfer these talks from Whatsapp to our Blog, which is the only place we can deal with them effectively.

We liked you from the first minute we met you in Quesqo Temple, and still do.

Right then we saw that there might be real challenges in compatibility of personality types between you and your wife.

So, please post anymore comments on these things here so we can get help from our ASA community. They are very nice. Fun.

In general, it seems that you need to find good married folks, Grhasthas, who can give you practical details to advance in these thing to the practical satisfaction of all involved.

[11/7, 12:15 PM] Gaura Yance - Vira Gopal: Haré Krishna querido Gurudeva mis reverencias hoy estamos mejor de Salud hoy hicimos Parikrama de Brahmán Ghat to Raval

[11/8, 12:15 PM] HPSwami - ProfHHR: The Roti Rat at Brahmanda Ghat, is neither skinny nor very fat, but he always knows where your your chapatis are hidden at.

Maharaj, PAMHO AGTSP

Writing to clarify, no death threats were given to my husband. He just doesn’t want to give me a place to stay/for me to take anything from our mutual home or give me the key. We only said such double affairs result in 1-2 deaths. He is twisting this. My father gave him example of my cousin’s husband who committed suicide after the husband of the woman he went after, beat him up. Also my husband’s girlfriend’s husband called me in a lot of anger asking why my husband video calls his wife at night. We wanted to warn my husband that he’s already beaten up his wife’s boyfriends in the past. It’s a situation where you try to warn someone and they call you the threat. He’s accusing us of conspiring with his girlfriend’s husband and of me having an affair with him. Unfortunate. We apologize for this inconvenience to you. We will try to speak more politically correctly in future🙏.

On another note, after your conversation with my husband, we had a very nice interaction over WhatsApp with him. Then I came here and read his letter to you. It really hurt to read he’s still asking for divorce. We have tried to change in every way for this marriage to work, but it’s as if it doesn’t matter what I do, his feelings are rooted elsewhere, perhaps in his own guilt and insecurity. I can’t change his heart, maybe because his guilt won’t allow his heart to change. Can his new girlfriend who has such a bad history, really be so much better? I find it hard to believe. I don’t intend to divorce him. We are trying to pacify him with nice words like you said try to message him at 1am. Trying to chant to get perspective. Let’s see what Krsna wants. Trying to keep insomnia under control so morning rounds not endangered again. Even if I have one message interaction with him, its so toxic and draining that I can’t sleep and I get sick. Why do I feel zapped every interaction? I need to gather more strength.

First he was bothered about being together. After marriage he was bothered about whether he made right choice. Then he bothered me about rent, I moved in with my parents, now he’s bothering me about divorce. Then he will bother about alimony. After he gets everything he wants from me and is still unhappy, i wonder how he will manage to find something to bother me about 🤦🏻‍♀️.

Something my heart asks again and again is how can our desire to uphold shastras loose to people with loose character?

Your aspiring servant,

Yajnaseni DD

ASA - Yuddhisthira's desire to uphold Sastra lost to Duryodhana who had lose character, not loose character.

Is that your question and an illuminating answer?

Mula Nasredim says that one should not engage in an argument with a fool, because people may have a hard time ditinguishing which one of you is the fool.

Try to help him like you would help a tiger who lives in the same forest where you live.

With proper safety.

What did Draupadi think of Duryodhana?

Kunti of Duryodhana?

Yuddhisthira of Duryodhana?

Todas las glorias a Srila Prabhupada

HpS - AGTSP! Paoho. If you want to share her Whatsapp contact here, that is fine. It is an open forum, so anyone ca read it.

Maybe make a temporary address, e-mail, is better.

WIth the University it depends on the interest of the sponsor.

We have done porgrams with Art Schools, Philosophy Departments etc.

We could also present for Historians,

Theater/Drama School

Political Science.

Who are the contacts and what is their interest.

Also, programs in Rural Development, agriculture.
