Invitation to lead a private session (with question & answer) to the ISKCON Chile Comitees and members of the MT

Hare Krishna Guru Maharaja,

AGTSP,

Pamho,


I hope this message finds you well. I am writing to extend an invitation on behalf of the ISKCON Chile community for you to lead a special private session with the members of our committees and the MT.


ISKCON Chile Committees


Our temple has flourished thanks to the dedicated efforts of committees, which enthusiastically lead in various areas such as Deity Worship, Festivals, Devotee Care, Harinama, and monetary management. And some crucial ones are on pause due to my negligence too.


Membresía Trascendental


Additionally, the Membresía Transcendental (MT), is a group of over fifty people (even some non-ISKCON devotees) cultivated by an area of the new Financial Committee (Las Abejitas), that has financially maintained the temple for the last few months.


It has been an encouraging experience to see that, even without relying on the restaurant, sufficient funds are being raised through devotees' contributions. We have established a dedicated bank account for ISKCON, and our financial reporting has significantly bolstered the trust and enthusiasm of our community.


We need Brahminical and Krishna Conscious association

Along with these positive developments, we have faced challenges, but I feel I received your training for years, so for me, nothing is extremely good or bad. The most important thing is to keep honest Vaisnava relationships and continue with the 4P. 16R and sankirtana no matter what.


But I think that not too many gurus are visiting here, so we would be deeply honored if you could offer a special online darshan session to these two groups of devotees simultaneously.


Which topics?


The idea is to address topics of interest proposed by our devotees through a survey we will send before the online encounter. We believe this would greatly inspire and guide our community. If you agree, the next step is to know if in the schedule you prefer a weekday or Saturday.


Your guidance and presence would be invaluable to us, and we are eager to facilitate this opportunity for our devotees to learn and grow under your esteemed wisdom.


Thank you for considering our invitation. We look forward to your response.


Hare Krishna Guru Maharaja.


Your servant,


Jagad Guru Das.

President of ISKCON Chile


HpS - Sounds, agtSP, good. We are free many days of the week after this next week end.

I think you are two hours ahead of us.

Thursday we have BOEX meetings, and some tuesdays e-sanga SB classes.

The rest are pretty free.

Service during Atlanta visit

5 months, 4 weeks ago by sriram in Personal Sadhana Reports

Hare Krishna Guru Maharaj,


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


I am chanting 16 rounds , following 4 regulative principles and doing FMP (albeit a little late around 8.30).


We had the Simantoshanam Samskar for Vishaka last Sunday. We had about 50 - 60 devotees participate in yagna and kirtan. It was a wonderful ceremony made more wonderful by such a large gathering of devotees.


She's 35 weeks along.

We are expecting the delivery to be in the third or fourth week of June. Guru Maharaj.


We try to read Sriman Bhagavatam every day to the baby. We have finished Canto 7 Chapter 1 till now.


We also play lectures all night so the baby keeps listening even when we are asleep. We hope to have a wonderful devotee child who will serve Prabhupada's mission.


ASA - Will not be an ordinary child. That is for sure.


It is so fortuitous that you are visiting Atlanta at this time for the Rath Yatra and Panihatti festival.


Please let us know how best we can serve You during Your visit here.


We can make nice prasadam and bring it for You.


Will you be staying at the temple for the 2 days You'll be here, Guru Maharaj?


Vishaka's parents are also here with us. It would be wonderful for them to meet and serve you.


Vishaka is also giving a small 20 min talk on Dhruva on June 1st. They have cultural programs during the two days and the organizers have asked her to give a Harikatha.


Eagerly awaiting Your arrival to New Panihatti Dham!


Your humble servant

Sri Rama Krishna Das


HpS - Super. We will arrive about 8PM Friday with Nitai-gaura sundara Das. Vedasar Das knows the schedule and says he has accommodations for us.

We have your phone number and will certainly call soon.

We will stay until after Rathyatra and then come back with NgD.

Respects to everyone!!!

See you soon!

Email address please

Urgente Yasoda: fallecimiento Tía Ana

5 months, 4 weeks ago by yasoda in Personal Sadhana Reports


Hare Krishna Gurumaharaja 🙏 Por favor acepte mis sinceras reverencias 🙏

Todas las glorias a Srila Prabhupada 🙏


Gurumaharaja hace unas horas dejó el cuerpo la única tía que me quedaba en este mundo. Mi tía Ana Salas Vivanco ,la profesora. Ella siempre respaldó mi vida espiritual, me insistía para que la lleve a escuchar tus conferencias en las universidades, tomaba Maha y se volvió vegetariana, tenía más de 80 años de edad. Pido humildemente tus valiosas oraciones para su alma por favor 🙏 por favor 🙏 por favor 🙏


Es interesante como Krishna me va despegando de las ataduras familiares terrenales. Tengo un sentimiento de tristeza, alivio y responsabilidad. Recuerdo que una vez leí que si una persona se vuelve Hare Krishna puede ayudar a liberar generaciones pasadas y futuras...


Gurumaharaja, sin tu misericordia de siempre recordarme cumplir mi promesa con Srila Prabhupada, mi vida no tendría rumbo... KRISHNA!!!


Gracias 🙏

Yasoda Devi Dasi



HpS - La misma como la carta para la mama de la otro devoto! Ella vende hielo??


















Madre de Mukunda Gaura Pranadhana das abandonó el cuerpo

5 months, 4 weeks ago by Asta Sakhi Devi Dasi in Personal Sadhana Reports


Querido Gurudeva

Reciba mis humildes reverencias 🙏

Todas las glorias a Srila Prabhupada 🙏

 

Espero que este gozando de buena salud, bajo la protección de Sri Krishna.

Gurudeva quiero hacer de su conocimiento que he estado cuidando de mi madre, sigo con mis rondas , mis principios, atendiendo a mis deidades Gaura Nitay , trabajando por momentos durante el día.


Mi mamá, Juana Torres de 91 años de edad , ayer 13 de mayo del 2024 , entregó su cuerpo, me siento tranquilo pues la cuide y la atendí con todo mi amor.

Le pido con toda humildad si puede por favor elevar un oración para mi mamá que le ayude a ir trascendiendo.


Mil gracias por tanta misericordia Gurudeva , que Sri Krishna lo guarde y lo proteja siempre,

Acepte mis humildes y respetuosas reverencias 🙏🏾

Todas las glorias a Srila Prabhupada 🙏🏾 


Su sirviente Mukunda Gaura Pranadhana Das 🙏

Ciudad de México


HpS - Super. Super. Super. Guru Krpa, Gaura Krpa. Krsna Krpa everyone is getting a smell of Nimai in Nadia. It is like the bakery down the street. And everyone will just walk that way even if just out of curiosity.

Your Mothe is bound to get smell of Nimai and Nadia through you and ISKCON.

Monkey- 1 | Soldado inútil

Hare Krsna! Querido Guru Maharaja, por favor acepte mis humildes reverencias

Todas las Glorias sean a nuestro muy misericordioso Srila Prabhupada, y todas las glorias a los devotos que son manifestaciones de esa misericordia. 🙇🌺


Orando constantemente a nuestro Señor Nrsmhadeva, le mantenga eternamente bajo su protección. 🙏

Muchas gracias por su misericordiosa guía, instrucción y ejemplo. Son el mayor aliciente para continuar con mi insignificante esfuerzo de ser parte de la trascendental orquesta de Srila Prabhupada.


Tengo muchos deseos de poder visitarlo en España. Un muy buen amigo (que es como un hermano) ha estado intentando ayudarme con eso. Sin embargo, estas últimas semanas la salud de mi cuerpo volvió a colapsar seriamente y por ahora no parece buena idea. (Me siento muy muy muy triste por eso). Aunque debo confesar, que algunas veces me es difícil valorar y entender la misericordia de nuestro Señor ¡Solo confío en que está ahí!.


Hace tiempo alguien me dijo “nadie quiere vivir con un enfermo”, creo que lo entiendo un poco. ¡Incluso para mí es muy difícil! Pero, aunque muchas veces me siento bastante inútil, acepto estas dificultades como la misericordia infinita de nuestras Señorías, además es seguro que me llegan mucho menos de las reacciones que merezco. Entonces vuelvo a mi limitada posición e intento ocuparme en servicio desde ahí (tanto como me es posible) es sorprendente, pero aún en esta condición siempre hay algo por hacer. ¡Krsna, el misericordioso Ki Jaya!


Gurudeva, en su respuesta a mi carta más reciente, usted me preguntó: “What kind of body do you want next?”


Meditamos profundamente en ello: 

Si a nuestro Señor le parece bien y por su infinita misericordia sin causa es posible… Únicamente aspiro poder estudiar la trascendental ciencia del Servicio Devocional bajo su guía. Poder estar cerca de usted, porque eso significará estar cerca de Srila Prabhupada y cerca de nuestro Señor.


Si nuestras Señorías lo consideran apropiado, quisiera tener un cuerpo apto para poder ofrecer un mejor servicio devocional, que me permita relacionarme armoniosamente con los vaisnavas, escuchar y cantar los Santos Nombres de nuestro Señor y Sus trascendentales pasatiempos. Y ser útil en este trascendental ejército de Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu. (De sobra sé que no merezco nada de lo anterior, únicamente me queda implorar la misericordia de los devotos y de nuestras Señorías).


Por ahora, solo por su misericordia sin causa, hago tanto como me es posible con amor y sinceridad, esperando algún día poder ser útil a su Sankirtana. Muchas gracias por mantenernos vivos y en pie de lucha querido Gurudeva. Por favor acepte mis reverencias y cariño.


Su aspirante a discípula

Hare Krsna! Dear Guru Maharaja, please accept my humble obeisances


All Glories be to our most merciful Srila Prabhupada, and all glories to the devotees who are manifestations of that mercy. 🙇🌺


HpS/ASA - 


By constantly praying to our Lord Nrsmhadeva, keep you eternally under his protection. 🙏


Thank you very much for his gracious guidance, instruction and example. They are the greatest incentive to continue with my insignificant effort to be part of Srila Prabhupada's transcendental orchestra.


ASA - 🎺 🥁 🎻


I really want to visit him in Spain. A very good friend (who is like a brother) has been trying to help me with that. However, these last few weeks my body's health has seriously collapsed again, and for now it doesn't seem like a good idea. (I feel very very very sad about that). Although I must confess, sometimes it is difficult for me to value and understand the mercy of our Lord. I only trust that he is there!


ASA - My personal experience was that when I could not go to Vrndavana for Kartika but went to Peru instead, first time, I was more in Vrndavana than I had ever been.

Come with us to Spain.

In spirit!!

Mind.

BOdy - Pictures - Packages, and from their it is just a little step to Nabadvipa.


Some time ago someone told me “no one wants to live with a sick person”, I think I understand it a little.

Even for me it is very difficult!

But, although I often feel quite useless, I accept these difficulties as the infinite mercy of our Lordships, and it is certain that I receive much less of the reactions I deserve.

Then I return to my limited position and try to engage in service from there (as much as possible) it is surprising, but even in this condition there is always something to do. Krishna, the merciful Ki Jaya!


HpS - We have limited ability with our current human body and limited health. Yet, imagine how much more we can do than if we were in a cockroach body. 🐛

Your efforts remind us to use every breath to chant.


Gurudeva, in his response to my most recent letter, you asked me: “What kind of body do you want next?”


We meditate deeply on it:

If it seems good to our Lord and by his infinite causeless mercy it is possible... I only aspire to be able to study the transcendental science of Devotional Service under his guidance. Being able to be close to you, because that will mean being close to Srila Prabhupada and close to our Lord.

If our Lordships consider it appropriate, I would like to have a body capable of offering a better devotional service, which allows me to relate harmoniously with the Vaisnavas, listen to and chant the Holy Names of our Lord and the transcendental pastimes of him. And be useful in this transcendental army of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu. (I know very well that I do not deserve any of the above, I can only implore the mercy of the devotees and our Lordships).


HpS - I can only hear the sounds of Nimai and the town of Nadiya. Wackk, Rack, Quach, Quack!

Shall we all be young boyfriends of Nimai and Gadai???

Shall we all love Mother Sacci like our own mother?


For now, only out of His causeless mercy, I do as much as possible with love and sincerity, hoping one day to be useful to His Sankirtana. Thank you very much for keeping us alive and fighting, dear Gurudeva. Please accept my bows and affection.

His would-be disciple

Karuna-Sakti Devi Dasi


HpS - Hare Krsna. Hare Krsna.

We hope that the Tweets help.

It seems to be very good media for us now!!

Honestly, your association is very inspiring for all of use. Stay with us.
