Jiva Goswami Literature

Hare Krsna Master,

Please accept my mechanical and reverential obeisances.


We were reading TPP, it says "perfect goswami may not be perfect devotee".

it means "being goswami" is necessary but not sufficient condition to"perfect devotee".


We think we are still on (approaching ) level of NOI Verse 1. However we need to see a good drama, so we saw our life (thats mundane), we saw others life(thats also boring), so we were thinking of reading Lalita Madhava (LM).


Do your esteemed self and Supreme Absolute Undifferentiated ASA Commando, think it is okay for this horse to see this (LM) drama ?

HpS... you, agtsp, will read it in Sanskrit?

Otherwise gotta read a translation.

Difficult to translate. So many subtle aspects. I think it is okay for you to try to read it.

Give us a review!


Yes, after senses controlled the prema of the soul can arouse.

Have to take off your raincoat before shower touches you skin.

Sadhana plus request for departed soul

Hare Krsna Srila Gurudev

All glories to Srila Prabhupada and parampara


Dandavat pranam


Your association in Radha kund was very inspiring for the rejuvenation in my bhakti life. The association of senior disciples, especially HG Radhika Ramana prabhu has been very productive.


Chanting my 16rounds and 4 regs ok. Brahma muhurta waking has been inconsistent. So that's the next goal. I started a book reading session with a devotee friend. We read Bg, bhagawatam and NOI.


A request- a friend, Kuldip Dasgupta committing suicide. He was a nice person but took this intense stupid step out of frustration. Gurudev, if possible can you kindly pray for his soul. He had always helped me through my bad times.

If you pray for his soul Krsna might mitigate some of the torture in his astral body.


It's very difficult to be detached when things like this happens. I understand this is the practical test of our sadhana.


Thank you Srila Gurudev


Trying to be of better discipline.

HpSwami - Hare Krsna. Send pictures of Mildura!


Bhakta yoga is work, but with good pay.

We will look for more news from you.

Brahmana means active during Brahma muhurta, no?

Then we get the Shakti to become gurus.

Namhatta

Hare krishna Maharaj ji dandavat pranam agtsp. I had talked to Dr samaresha as well book is on the way .

morning program

3 years, 1 month ago by harsh_horse in Special Category A, Special Category B

asa[e] yoga ladder, sadhana bhakti, mangla arati.


Hare Krsna Master,


HpS - AgtSP! He is our Master, I am maybe a (master).🙂


Please accept my grateful obeisances,



Morning prayers in ISKCON seems to be very generic to us, it seems to be glorification of Guru, Tulsi Mata, Narsingh Dev, etc.


We remember in BhVai classes 2.9.33 Brahmji prays every day for getting power for construction ,and they seem to be very specific prayers.



Once you talked about also in TPP (new Book) you talk about attitude building in morning program.



Can you kindly elaborate the how does one develop attitude, during morning program ?


What is the attitude is all about ? Attitude is generally about the activities we are going to do today (thats what we think )......


any example/meditation of such attitude development might help .




We are comparing our morning program to military program. So we do understand they have their basic physical training in the morning, and rest of the day they have their specific training.



This letter will definitely help us to do morning prayers, we do wake up at 345, but somehow not getting any intelligent reason to do morning prayers.

HpS - Sorry so slow to answer. On the road ad setting up camp for five weeks.

In the beginning Rupa Goswami et al say that there is some tendency toward impersonalism.

Our Bh. Yoga gives us relief from distress. Because we are chanting HK/HR during the Br. Muhurta, we are not dreaming of lower things and becoming condition to that perspective.

Later, after liberation, we begin to feel that it is an auspicious activity. We can begin to see, at least theoretically, that Radha and Krsna et al are there and They are slowly penetrating the fog.

As Sadhana we try to minimize the program. Chant for Hara first and then expand in terms of Her presence.

Her Dhama

Her lover.


We learned the word by world meanings of the Bhajans and then we can chant them with American feeling.

Listening to the other devotees chant. Trying to lead them with our perspective without violence, and take advantage of the leadership of their perspective, it becomes the basis of a great day. Mangala,

gives us strength.

O.K. Go to TVinterview

Thank you so much for your assocition!!

Invitation from Russian Devotees

Hare Krishna Guru Maharaj,


Some years ago I created a fan page dedicated to you on Facebook. The main reason was to prevent that somebody else registered it with your name. It works.


The word "officiall" is not there. And despite that people write often to you.


Always, I explain to them that is just me and to the direct communication the blog is the best.


However, this message I think is different:



"Hare Krishna, dear devotees. Please accept my obeisances. Jaya Prabhupada! My name is Mayapureshvari Radha devi dasi. I'm writing on behalf of AsiaVayragi sanga representing Iskcon devotees from Central Asia and Russia. We would like to invite HH Hanumatpresaka Swami to deliver a Bhagavatam class for the Russian speaking devotees. Do you think this is something Maharaj would be willing to take part in? We have been arranging classes with Prabhupada disciples every Sunday at 7.30 am, IST, for over three years now. Looking forward to hearing from you soon. Thank you!


Please, tell me how to proceeds.


Hare Krishna.


HpS - AGTSP! Paoho. Where have you been! No Urgent posts here or Whatsapp, Heads Ups!

🙂

You can see that for one week before we left Radha kunda we did not even have a minute breath.

Then the Mumbai, deep North East tour was also out of this world.

24-hours travel in the dark to Spain and digging out a radio transmitter and shelter in the snow has taken about two weeks.

Now...

NOW.....

N O W ......

We can start to amswer regular Blog Posts!


Hope all is well with your family, soul, ISKCON work!!!


So much to do.

7.30IST is 3PM here in Madrid. Sunday 12th we will be in Madrid temple at that noon so don't think that it is possible.

19th is possible.

26th we will be in Houston. That will be like Sunday morning. Also possible.

After that we have to coordinate with Mexico program.

We would like to do the program.

We would like to hear from other ISKCON devotees and give our ideas.

Thank you.


Finally saw the Minutes of the Board Meeting and will help with the proposed project of developing NIOS internet activity!!

At your service.
