Hare Krishna. How are YOU?

HpS - Alive in spiritual activity. A little above Karma misra bhakti yoga.

Body is suffering from old age.

Haw! Haw! Before it suffered from stomach aches in childhood. I would lie on our aching stomach and suffer while the rest watched one of the three television chanels.



We are ok. the Lord is very merciful with us.

Our sadhana is ok. Still working on finishing 16 rounds and reading SB before classes. Some days we make it. My mother and sister are helping a lot in the altar. They offered fruits everyday.


HpS - Krsna and the gopis will offer them fruit from Braja every day.


Things at school are pretty good. We learn a lot from kids and young boys and girls.


We talked a lot with Danistha dd. from Chile about Waldorf Pedagogy. We saw that many things from Waldorf come from vedic culture. We both agreed that thanks to this approach in Waldorf point of view, make us more aware of krsna consciousness.


HpS - Write a learned article for Solaris? Interview some of the prominent Waldorf people? Were founders contemporarys of Jung?


Thanks a lot for your infinite mercy

Nrsimha Bhoga - "Waves of Devotion" Spanish Translation Report

3 years, 2 months ago by Mitravinda d.d in Special Category A

Hare Krishna, Gurudeva 🙏🏻

Please, accept my humble obeisances!! All glories to Srila Prabhupada!!


Gurudeva, here is a brief report about the progress in "Waves of Devotion" translation..


Regarding the Eastern Ocean of the book already translated into Spanish that we got from Param Padam prabhu:

Apsara Gopi dd is doing a review of it.

Comparing with the original book we saw that the preface by Satyaraja Dasa is missing.

Some footnotes were missing also. We are adding them.


We are doing a review of the Sanskrit with proper directions given by BBT.


Reviews and corrections are going to take some time. There are 144 sheets currently in review.


Southern Ocean of the book is 90 % translated and we already started with the West Ocean. Apsara Gopi dd, Candramukhi dd, Isvari Radha dd, Rohini dd and Sita Lalita dd are working on it.


Waiting for your comments and suggestions..

Thank you very much, Gurudeva 🙏🏻


HARE KRISHNA!!

[Nrsimha Bhoga]-Realizations from spiritual illness-Trip to Spain

3 years, 2 months ago by bhaktanicasio in Personal Sadhana Reports

Hare Krishna Beloved Gurudeva,


Please accept our humble obeisances,


All Glories to Srila Prabhupada,


!

Here we are at our asrama at Sri Govardhan, Mar del Plata,

Recovering from spiritual illness. We got caught by "gold fever", mode of passion and ignorance, greed, longings. Although we made good profit the price was too expensive!! We weakened our spiritual practice and started to feel depressed! We feel like Dhruva Maharaja before his realization of bhakti. Seeking glass!!


ASA - Gosh! What did you do? Buy shares in a new airplane company?


What we realized:

1) Nothing is worthy unless connected to Krisna!! Hare Krisna mahamantra is the most powerful medicine!!


2) Sangat sanjayate kamah!! Be careful of your Sanga!!


3) Money doesn't solve your emotional problems. Wealth is not money but pure relationships!!


4) Never forget the isavasyam culture! Everybody have their quota. Accept your karma!!


5) People are suffering because they don't know the above. Promoting Krishna Consciousness is the greatest service to humankind!!


6) We must keep endeavoring to take the medicine!! There is no limit for purification!! Chanting, reading, feasting!!

7) Srila Prabh

upada's process works, is scientific and bonafide!! Begging for his mercy!!



We have our tickets to Europe!! All the family to the old continent!!

Madhu and Bhuri are joining Jara Mara's Prabhu program for two weeks. Juli, Marga and I will be in Murcia, Spain, Ramanuja Prabhu invited us to work with Ayurveda. Then all together one week in italy!!


We arrive at Nueva Vraja Mandala july 23rd until 29th. Hope we can meet you there and be of some utility to yourself!!


ASA - Oink!


Thank you Gurudev, you make everything much easier!!

We are big fools, need improvement,

At your service,

Nikunja Bihari das.


HpS - 😁. I think Ambo-Nandi-Vamsi will be traveling about that time.Too. Saca bastant fotos en su viaje. meet nice people en route who are des[ert

All Glories to Srila Prabhupada!!


How are you? How's your health doing???


ASA - Just like yours!


Are you still in India?


ASA - Never went? To whom are you rye ting?



Well, this is the first letter I send you after a few months since last time I wrote you. Here many things happened, my child Indiana is 1.5 years old, she's so big and enjoyable, she loves playing and whatching Little Krishna and Bal Ganesh's movies,



the other day on Little Krishna we were watching how mother Yasoda after Krishna killed the bird deamon (I think it was bhakasura), takes his little hands with the palms opened and says "this little hands which are cooler than a lotus flowers killed a deamon?" (or something like that) so after that my daughter put her hands in the same way so I began praising her hands as mother Yasoda did.


She brings so much joy to my life!! Now I keep working every day in my family's company, always performing graphic design tasks, and other stuff. And I'm trying to occupy myself in watching some designers' YouTube channels so I can cultivate myself professionally.


And I decided to continue my computer systems analyst career, I'm starting studying next semester :) With my ex conjugal partner, I tried to fix the relationship but there was no case,


when we were separated she was distant and indifferent, and when finally we decided to retake the relationship we couldn't get along, so well now we're just friends.


HpS - A nice friend is hard to find.


My personal sadhana got better in average, I began waking up earlier in the morning (excepting for weekend when I try to get a little bit more rest), I keep chanting a fixed amount of rounds every day, and I'm still reading Srimad Bhagavatam,

now I'm on canto 2 chapter 5, it's really sooo beautiful,


I'm enjoying a lot Srila Prabhupada's purports and I hope I can read more and more. I keep attending my Gaura Nitai in my home's altar, and offering the bhoga.


I'm buying organic produce here in my city which are really cheap, unluckly I wasn't able to convince the other Yatra's devotees to do the same, how can I make the aware of the benefits of eating healthier?


HpS - Speaking logically and setting a good example, but in the end everyone has free will.


I keep following an ayurvedic diet, trying to eat my dosha's according ingredients and food, and taking account Ayurvedic recommendations. I started following ekadashis again.


I was wondering about some topics Maharaj, I'm sure you can help me out with them: how can I wake up early in the mornings every single day?


HpS - Do you need to? Is it time? Then get a wake up partner. First one up calls the other.


and how to keep myself fixer in my sadhana? how can I clear my mind and become more appreciative about what Krishna has given me? How can I become humbler?


HpS - Hmmmm. Basically you have to really desire to do it. Then you will use your unique intelligence to find ways to advance and Krsna will send good association and little miracles. That is all that I know.



Thank you very much for being there always!

Sincerely,

Federico

Rattling Mind Question

3 years, 2 months ago by jaynityananda in Hot Topics

Hare Krishna, Gurudeva,

Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada.


HpS - All G L O R I E S to Srila Prabhupada.


In our previous conversation you commented the following:


"At the same time I'm eager for their blessings, but wanting to be recognized is this annoying voice in my mind that keeps on rattling."


"HpS - It will probably be there until the day you die, but if you engage in devotional service you will not be bothered by it."


What I would like to know is how this works in more detail. I was diagnosed as having ADD by a psychologist. And I do have the symptoms that are used to describe it. Does this mental attitude only last for this lifetime, which is how i understand your answer? Like as in the higher authorities turn off a button when the allotted time for punishment is done.


HpS - As I understand from psychology in the broader world and our Sampradaya, it is like having a banana shaped nose. You will have it until you die, and the mental attitudes are even more durable than the physical ones. They are the basis of the gross ones.

NoI 6 - Tad gada mula hantri, our Yoga is starving the root of the mental and physical "banana noses".

We are developing extreme love for Krsna. We begin to love our Deities. If someone where to steal Them we would not be able to move. We would collapse and stare at the floor. We don't realize how our WORK is developing an attachment to Krsna ('s Name, Form, Pastimes, Associates).


I always had the notion that this kind of mental state is only over when it is purified by my own efforts or by grace. I kind of lost my hope that it will be taken away as a mercy by the Lord in this life. [and i am not sure if i knew what to do with myself if He did. I wouldn't recognize my own mind anymore].


HpS - It will adjust as far as possible. Maybe go away, but it might stay, but then it will be insignificant. A cactus in the neighbor's back yard.


I argue that idea also by what i understand from the notion that we carry our desires and convictions with us in our subtle body from one body to the next. That is a kind of mental state too. What about an ADD kind of mind? That could actually stop?


HpS - Don't know. They may be inaccurately describing a banana knose as zuccini knose.


Looking forward to your reply.
