Hare Krishna, Maharaja!

This is Nandalal Das. I was going through "Tava Pache Pache."

Confusion...

Can the senses enjoy without the mind? If they can't, isn't mind the actual enjoyer? If so, do the senses dictate what to enjoy or mind directs the senses to the objects that it wants to enjoy?

If the latter is the case, do senses really have any control over what they can/cannot do, independent of mind?

If they don't, then how can we make any sense to do what it should? For example, how do we make the tongue to only take prasadam or chant the names of the Lord? How can the senses that are to be used to get the mind under control, be used effectively when they are controlled by the mind?

Hare Krishna!

Nandalal Das

HpS - I think I am probably more confused than you. There were no elephants in the town where I grew up, so did not get their sagacious association, but what comes to mind is that the only thing there is, is Radha Krsna rasa lila. They are just dancing and dancing... Then to expand the joy They expand.... even into the material world... to even understanding how material nature works, what moves it etc, is not a slight task.

We like our mind. It dresses up like a polar bear in a candy store and attracts it.

Then it gives "freedom" to the senses to do what they want.

We pretend our dolly, the mind is alive, and the dolly, the mind, pretends that the senses are alive. So, the senses and mind mutually influence each other.

In other Yogas you have to renounce the sense object, then the senses, then the mind, then the intelligence and then you come to the supersoul, and if you slip on any step you have to start all over,

but in Bhakti yoga, because we more or less pray to Krsna, the SUPER SOUL from the very beginning, then He arranges sensuous activities that touch our heart.

So the acts of using our mind to try to control our senses heart touching.

I paint the Rathayatra cart and freak out when I make a mistake!

Does this give some perspective??

All glories to Sri Gauranga!!!

All glories to Srila Prabhupada!!

All glories to H. H. Hanumat Presaka Swami Maharaj!!

All glories to the Sankirtan movement of ISKCON!!!

Please ...pleeeaasseeee accept my humble obeisances at Your sweet, sweet lotus feet dear Guru Maharaj.....with tears in my eyes....I beg you....

Hare Krishna, dear Guru Maharaj,

HpS - We are still trying to see our lotus feet. Maybe we are a small buzzing, colorful insect, with others, trying to hang onto Hanuman's fur as he soars to Lanka!

Respects to your Siddha svarupa also!

AgtSP!!

Thank you for this priceless life you have taken and lead me into. No word can describe the joy of Krishna consciousness that you have awakened in my heart. Thank you so much...

ASA - We are just mailmen. It is Krsna who wants you to come home.

We are leaving for Mayapur tomorrow. Offering ourselves to the merciful Guru and Sri Gauranga, so that we get the dust of the servant of the servant of the million servants of Srila Prabhupada. Thank you for this mercy dear Guru Maharaj. Happy GauraPurnima dear Guru Maharaj. We depend solely on Your mercy.

Some of devotees of Manipur are getting initiated from HH Subhag Swami Maharaj. 10 devotees are aspiring to get initiation.

HpS - 🙂

• Reading CC on a daily basis these days.
• Reading SB 4.25.51 .
• Evening we have daily BG classes with the young students online. There is a boy who is doing his graduation , and he seems to be a little disturbed with what his teachers are teaching him at his college, topics on political science especially. His name is Ajeshwor. He is such a nice and sincere person, happily distributes BG with unperturbed enthusiasm. He is a member of an organisation called 'Society for Peace'. Invited by this group to give a lecture on problems faced by younger generation....and how to solve them based on the teachings given in BG. With Gurudev's mercy, it was such a pleasant interaction.

Posting here in this blog. Very soon, Ajeshwor will write in the blog Guru Maharaj.

Other participants have been encouraged to write in the blog. We hope you are not too disturbed by us...

Our BV classes are taken by H. H. Vighna Vinasa Narasimha Swami Maharaj. We are struggling with the classes ' It is such a great joy to get such wonderful devotee association .....all credit to your mercy dear Guru Maharaj.

ASA - Where from is Maharaja??

Sharing few pics.... Ajeshwor with books he distributed....childrens' spiritual activity books.....

Longing with all our hearts to get Guru Maharaj's darshan in Manipur. Eagerly waiting...

Your insignificant servant,

Sarada Gaurangi DD

HpS - Guess you passed the tests and made it to the lotus feet of Sri Sri Radha Madhava!!!!

"How are you, Sarada Gaurangi?

You have been suffering so much in Sankirtan and finishing your attachment to the material world.

Just sit down here with Us for a while.

It is so nice to see you.

Please come to stay permanently as soon as possible."

We have to put Srila Prabhupada's books in a format people can understand, no?



Todas las Glorias a Srila Prabhupada!!!

"Uno debe cantar el santo nombre del Señor en un estado mental humilde, considerándose más bajo que la hojarasca de la calle. Uno debe ser más tolerante que un árbol, estar desprovisto de todo sentimiento de vanidad y estar dispuesto a ofrecer pleno respeto a los demás. En tal estado mental uno puede cantar el santo nombre del Señor constantemente".

Hare Krsna Guru Maharaja, reciba mis respetuosas reverencias, espero que su viaje haya sido sin inconvenientes.

Yo aquí sigo en Huancayo en Sankirtan por lo pronto. Estuve saliendo a Sankirtan todo éste tiempo, pero voy a reducir mi servicio de Sankirtan "distribución de libros por unos meses" quiero mejorar mi salud.

Voy a trabajar con un devoto por un tiempo. Hare Sankirtan unas 2 veces por semana.

Muy dificil entender que ciertas cosas que pasan estan vinculadas de manera Karmatica y que de cierta manera el Sevicio devocional ayuda a minimizarlo. Ahora tengo una vida solitaria con asociación de los devotos de aquí Huancayo "Prabhu Jivesvara, Prabhu Ranchor, Prabhu Ram Bhagavad, Prabhu Devarsi Narada". Apoyando los programas de ISKCON-HUANCAYO.

Sigo estudiando Jyotish, palmistry y arte (dibujo y pintura).

La relación de Guru-discipulo a traves del servicio en Vani Seva ó Vapuh Seva a pesar de las fuertes pruebas siempre será un lazo que jamas se romperá?

Me despido Guru Maharaja, que Nrsimha lo proteja siempre. Hare Krsna.🙏

"One should chant the holy name of the Lord in a humble state of mind, considering oneself lower than the litter on the street. One should be more tolerant than a tree, devoid of all feelings of vanity, and ready to offer full respect to others. In such a state of mind one can chant the holy name of the Lord constantly."

Hare Krsna, Guru Maharaja, please accept my respectful obeisances, I hope your journey has been smooth.

HpS - We heard that Sri Srila Parama-guru, Srila Bhaktisiddhanta-sarasvati Thakura said that you will know you are on the spiritual path if you path is filled with purifiying and productive challenges.

I'm still here in Huancayo in Sankirtan for now. I have been going out for Sankirtan all this time, but I am going to reduce my Sankirtan service "book distribution" for a few months. I want to improve my health.

I am going to work with a devotee for a while. I will do Sankirtan about 2 times a week.

Very difficult to understand that certain things that happen are linked in a Karmatic way and that in a certain way the devotional service helps to minimize it.

HpS - For an initiated devotee it is "Krsna Karma". Krsna has taken charge of our Karma and will use it to teach us and purify us, and to accomplish His goals. He engaged Arjuna in the same work, Karma, but now with a different perspective, no?

Now I have a solitary life with the association of devotees from here Huancayo "Prabhu Jivesvara, Prabhu Ranchor, Prabhu Ram Bhagavad, Prabhu Devarsi Narada". Supporting ISKCON-HUANCAYO programs.

I continue to study Jyotish, palmistry and art (drawing and painting).

The Guru-disciple relationship through service in Vani Seva or Vapuh Seva in spite of strong tests will always be a bond that will never be broken?

I say goodbye Guru Maharaja, may Nrsimha protect him always. Hare Krsna.🙏

Gadai Gauranga Dasa

HpS - We NEED His protection!! We hope He guides you properly in your efforts, responsibilities.

Our respects to everyone. We hope your Yatra flourishes and becomes prominent source of guidance for all the innocent souls there!



Hare Krsna, Gurudev,

HpS - TlgaSP!

Por favor acepte mis humildes y respetuosas reverencias a sus pies.

Todas las glorias a Srila Prabhupada y a usted.

HpS - TlgaSP....

Espero que usted se encuentre bien en la vuelta a la base en Nasville.

ASA - Eso es el mundo material! Mejor usa de una mala ganga.

Quiero preguntarle cómo puedo hacer para enviarte la guru daksina.

Si tiene una cuenta.. o western union, o algo así...

Gracias por todo Guru Maharaja, por haberme aceptado como tu discípulo. Estoy muy feliz.

HpS - Su sinceridad es super "Guru Daksina". Si tiene algo dinero extra utiliza para el Yatra y BBT. Despues, si quiere, puede ayudar con los gastos y mas con la predica de ASA en Argentina. Aun estamos conectar con Bernardo Nantes en la predica con Carl Jung y Bh. Siddhanta sarasvati.

El sábado salí a sankirtan por primera vez con mi nombre espiritual 😁.

Fue un día de realizaciones, pude distribuir 20 libros y 2 Bhagavad Gitas, por tu misericordia y la de Srila Prabhupada.

HpS - Y esta cultivando unos como Sankirtaneros en sus mismos???

Te saluda con afecto y reverencia.
