Happy VARUTINI EKADASI TODAY!!! ❤💙💖💜💛💚


In response to your last letter: I was reading Srimad Bhagavatam 10 : 19 and that is when Krsna swallowed the forest fire to save his cowherd friends and the cows..

Do you want me to do a dance on that?

Or is there a confusion? ? 😊😀

In chapters 46 Udhava visits vrndavan and chapter 47 the song of the bee... I think this is the pastime that you want... which of the chapters would be better??


HpS - Yes. For many, many years we have been suggesting making a nice dance out of the Song of the Bee. How much it includes from the SB would have to be your decision. Talk to friends.


Thank you very much for your time 👏👏👏


trying to please him: Radha Japa Prati jalpa Devi Dasi


PS: Do you remember? ...that you try to do the pastime in chosica a vyasa puja of you with nitya kishori and madhumati devi dasi... I never knew if you liked that dance...

thank you very much!!!!❤💙❤


HpS - We don't remember! It should be part of a movie.

Hare Krsna Gurudev.

Mis respetuosas reverencias.

Todas las glorias sean para Srila Prabhupada!


Gurudev, el verso al que me refería era el 3.5.7 del SB. En realidad me surgió la duda al leer el significado de éste verso y también porque escuché una clase donde Hrdayananda Das Goswami expresó que él siempre tuvo el deseo de predicarle a las personas inteligentes, y que él ahora lo puede hacer.

Tendríamos que definir primero ¿qué es inteligencia? y así saber ¿quiénes son las personas inteligentes? o como bien dice Srila Prabhupada; son aquellos nacidos por segunda vez, o sea, quienes toman un maestro espiritual...?


Creo que me surge esta pregunta, porque a veces veo muchos defectos cuando voy al templo. Veo que no se cuida la limpieza, los modales, la etiqueta entre los devotos, y eso me hace pensar que como devotos debemos volvernos personas más educadas, ser limpios, etc., pero hay casos en los que nuestra educación desde casa no ha sido la mejor, y no modificamos esos malos modales, y pienso que no nos ayuda en nuestro progreso espiritual, ni en la prédica, o el ejemplo que queremos dar para que las personas que se quieran unir, vean que servir a Krsna es lo mejor que se puede hacer.


Otra duda que le presenté, sobre el pie de página en los libros de SP. La preocupación de los devotos en el curso BVB es, que hay personas que pueden leer estas citas y pensar que es una forma de mala discriminación, o racismo.


Yo no tengo problemas con estas citas. Yo las entiendo bien y creo que es muy importante que las expliquemos y seamos representativos en nuestro actuar. Como usted dice, Srila Prabhupada nunca hizo esta discriminación mala. Así que nosotros debemos actuar de esa manera.


Gurudev, disculpe si es muy larga la carta. Espero se entienda.

Por lo general no revelo mucho mi mente.


Muchas gracias por todo su esfuerzo y paciencia.

Hare Krsna Gurudev.

My respectful obeisances.

All glories be to Srila Prabhupada!

Gurudev, the verse I was referring to was SB 3.5.7. Actually the doubt arose when I read the meaning of this verse and also because I heard a class where Hrdayananda Das Goswami expressed that he always had the desire to preach to intelligent people, and now he can do it.

We would have to define first what is intelligence? and thus know who are the intelligent people? or as Srila Prabhupada says; are those born for the second time, that is, those who take a spiritual master...?

I think this question comes to me, because sometimes I see many flaws when I go to the temple. I see that cleanliness, manners, etiquette among devotees are not taken care of, and that makes me think that as devotees we should become more educated people, be clean, etc., but there are cases in which our education from home has not been the best, and we do not change those bad manners, and I think that it does not help us in our spiritual progress, nor in preaching, or the example that we want to give so that the people who want to join, see that serving Krsna is the best thing that we can do. Can be done.


HpS - Of course, problems will always be in the institution. This is the material world. Look at SB, no? Problems from Brahma loka to Patala loka, but Hari Kirtan allows us to see those as aspects of the Yuga dharma, Hari Kirtan!

Then we can contribute our positive influence as Krsna desires. Apparently He stopped Bhisma from influencing the Game of Dice so that Kali yuga could progress.


Another doubt that I presented to him, about the footnote in the SP books. The concern of devotees on the BVB course is that there are people who may read these quotes and think that it is a form of bad discrimination, or racism.


HpS - Yes. It is a big controversy, challenge. Not just us, every religion in the past. Sincere people will be patient to understand everything, but of course we should help. I like keeping Srila Prabhupada's text as original as possible and then putting in footnotes to give perspective.


I have no problem with these appointments. I understand them well and I think it is very important that we explain them and be representative in our actions. As you say, Srila Prabhupada never made this bad discrimination. So we must act that way.


Gurudev, excuse me if the letter is very long. Hope it's understandable.

I usually don't reveal much of my mind.

Thank you very much for all your effort and patience.

Your would-be servant

HpS//ASA - Nice letter. Expresses curiosities of many people. Thank you. Let us go to another!!! Much fun Sunday morning.

Regional Representation report 24 (blue boy)

Hare Krsna Gurumaharaja

Please accept our respectful obeisances

All glories to Srila Prabhupada!


I hope you are in very good health and that your sankirtan is going very well.


HPS - Ha! Ha! Hare! AGTSP. We are in good health but our eyes, balance, memory etc are going.


I tell you that educational matters have been a bit slow in recent months. As I told you a while ago, I asked the Latin RGB for a hearing to clarify some points concerning the representation service.


Maturesh prabhu was kind enough to grant us a space at his monthly meeting to present our case. It finally happened this morning, Tapana Misra prabhu and I were able to be present, explain who are the regional representatives and what are our responsibilities and duties. The devotees (Jayapataka Swami, Guru Prasad Swami, Bhakti Sundar Swami, Hanuman prabhu, Kaunteya prabhu, among others) were interested in the regional representation program and asked questions about who is in it.


We obtained their support, so a document will be issued shortly that will be presented to the temple presidents so that there are no doubts about what service we have to do. The gears also moved and Guru Prasad Swami said that Mexico should have a representative immediately (despite the fact that I have insisted for two years) and the same with Paramatma prabhu and the Caribbean. All this seems to have a happy ending.


ASA - Ha! Ha! Hare! The Witch will counter attack... but Soldiers of Rama will defeat her again. Thank you.


Personally, I tell you that I have rejoined my Bhakti Vaibhava studies (3rd Canto), this time with Param Padam prabhu. The work that the devotee does is top notch, I knew his program was good, but I didn't know how good.


ASA - Maybe it was not so good a few years ago? Yet, he has persisted and showed us the real BHAKTI in Bhakti Vaibhava and now it is very great???



I have also been very lucky to join a very interesting group of 12 devotees: Baladeva das, Rupa Gosai das, Maha Bahu das, Priya Sakhi dd, devotees from Argentina, Peru, Chile and Mexico, all committed, all inquirers. The course is demanding and Param Padam a very good teacher and best friend.


We continue to live among the mountains, content with our saddhana and the small Jagannatha temple we serve with love and simplicity. Indira Sakti dd is studying Bhakti Sastri with Param Padam das, so Krsna has fulfilled a nice dream.


I hope to tell you more news soon.

Your servant

HpS - How did you find the PanAmerican Symposium. We could not stay because of the date was changed at the last minute and we had earlier commitments. Also, we pushed, PUSHED, P U S H E D for translations of everything but did not see any except for ours.


Maybe ASA will do something under its own management???


Thank you!

M. Guru-bhakti Devi Dasi texted:

"Hare Krishna Maharaja & obeisances!

AgtSP!

The dates you mentioned are open & I'm blocking them for you."


HpS - ASA -- AGTSP... paoho.... Thank you so much.

We talked with Sananga Th. D. again about the general Sankirtan program we really hope to develop during this visit, and then he suggested that we certainly talk with your good selves, co-ordinating super successful event.


We arrive 21st June and leave for Madrid 20th July.


We are fixing that Mr. Pablo Rivasplata will also be with us during that time from Peru.


He is the Director of Photography for the movies we are doing.

[The first one is 99.999% finished and very good.]

He is totally profession person, trained in Hollywood, worked for 15-years in Minnesota, director of photography for best television channel in Peru and stayed with us in our Peru Ashrama for several weeks to shoot there.

With him we will be editing work we are shooting now in the USA, and very excellent material from Peru.


During this month we hope to shoot a lot more stuff about the people, history, festivals and buildings in NMD: Temple, Restaurant, Farm, School... !


We will use part of that for our current movie but... ... we were thnking that we can do maybe three more videos about NMD of television broadcast size. Let us say 24" each.


What do you think?


Themes?


The work would be first class quality.

Other thing that we can do is offer "Beginners to Masters Class in Sankirtan Cinema Production".

Of course, Sriman Pablo can do direct training one weekend and say two weeks later the students could come back with projects they have done.

We might have Yadubara Prabhu on line etc.


It might become an annual event for NMD.

Could screen movies every night(?). We have ours and then others may have theirs.

Prizes?

Fees, limited registrations?


So, that is a summary of our thoughts.


S A N K I R T A N !


Perspective from you all? The Sarva???

Back from Rich Mound!

Getting adjusted to great Sankirtan partner, Jaya Hari Das; local community; sensual arrangements.

Movie exigencies.

Now it is 8.18AM

By Guru kripa, and little effort on our own part, we have 15/18 rounds done. Had some V-8 / Orange juice blend that Jaya Hari Das made for offering for Lord Nrsmhadeva.

O. K.

A nap.

Up since 1.58AM

See you in a few mow mints.
