El Exterminador - Dandavats

3 years, 4 months ago by YugalaKD in Special Category A

Hk pamho querido Guru Maharaja, respecto de los candidatos de segunda iniciación, comparto la siguiente reflexión, para ser tomada en cuenta por los candidatos.

Se toma la segunda iniciación por status?, por necesidad administrativa, por la cantidad de servicio, por cantidad de años en CK? ¿Por qué?

Si soy futuro candidato a segunda iniciación, y a la vez, he pasado por alto a otros que desde algún tiempo atrás, cantan los mantras…eso también debería tomarse en cuenta.

Un sabio dijo: Dale un puesto a alguien y vas a probar su carácter.

Observo en el carácter de algunos devotos neófitos que sólo consideran al Guru-Administrador-Deidad-adeptos. Eso me preocupa, porque como movimiento de prédica, la asociación es muy importante y la familia espiritual también. Mucha gente inspirada por los tratos entre la familia espiritual, acepta a un maestro espiritual o se aleja del movimiento. Pero si en la familia hay rencor, hipocresía…¿Snif!

En una clase un maestro explicó: A las personas que saludamos por primera vez es muy agradable esa experiencia, (pensé como en la distribución de libros en las calles)…porque no hay envidia...

No puedo hablar de mi experiencia con algunos de los candidatos a segunda, pues las escrituras mencionan que uno no debe protestar si se le ofende, si puedo mencionar de la frustración de persona que fueron maltratadas, no sólo hay maltratado cuando se le grita, se les golpea, se le desprestigia, sino cuando se le ignora. 

De todos en el VAD, los brahmanas son los que más me atraen, por su cualidad de perdón, compasión, amor al prójimo, limpieza, etc. Falta mucho por purificar Gurudeva…

Trabajo desde los 16 años en muchas empresas, que me enseñaron que un verdadero líder delega y es feliz cuando los demás tienen su realización, éxito en su servicio. Krsna da el ejemplo, Él se siente más feliz cuando sus devotos son glorificados, que cuando a Él lo glorifican.

Así que espero que los futuros brahmanas no le sonrían sólo al Guru, al administrador, que muestren respeto debido por todos, sin distinción de ninguna clase. Por el bien de nuestro movimiento.

Gurudeva, por favor tengo una duda, un requisito para segunda iniciación es el BS, ¿Todos los candidatos reúnen ese requisito?

¡Todas la glorias a los discípulos de HpS! ¡A la virtuosa familia ASA!

¡Todas las glorias a Srila Prabhupada!

HK, Pamho, dear Guru Maharaja, regarding the second initiation candidates, I share the following reflection, to be taken into account by the candidates.


Is the second initiation taken by status?, by administrative necessity, by the amount of service, by number of years in CK? Why?


HpS - It is and indication from the Spiritual Master that the disciple has become fixed in the mode of goodness in their service. For Brahmans, Ksatriyas and higher class Vaisyas.🐄


If I am a future candidate for the second initiation, and at the same time, I have overlooked others who have been chanting the mantras for some time... that should also be taken into account.


HpS - No, if they are in China and we are in Paraguay. -[;0]/\___


A wise man said: Give someone a position and you will test his character.


Abraham Lincoln, but he suggested money and position.


I observe in the character of some neophyte devotees that they only consider the Guru-Administrator-Deity-adepts. That worries me, because as a preaching movement, the association is very important and the spiritual family too. Many people, inspired by dealings within the spiritual family, accept a spiritual teacher or walk away from the movement. But if there is rancor, hypocrisy in the family… Sniff!


HpS - Yes, but Srila Prabhupada is always sitting on his Vyasa asana ready to give association to friendly people.


In a class a teacher explained: For the people we greet for the first time, that experience is very pleasant, (I thought like in the distribution of books in the streets)...because there is no envy...


I cannot speak about my experience with some of the candidates for the second, because the scriptures mention that one should not protest if they are offended, if I can mention the frustration of people who were mistreated, not only are they mistreated when they are yelled at, they he hits them, he is discredited, but when he is ignored.


Of all in the VAD, the brahmanas are the ones that attract me the most, for their quality of forgiveness, compassion, love of neighbor, cleanliness, etc. Much remains to be purified Gurudeva...


I have been working since I was 16 years old in many companies, which taught me that a true leader delegates and is happy when others have their accomplishment, success in their service. Krsna gives the example, He feels happier when His devotees are glorified than when He is glorified.


So I hope that the future brahmanas will not smile only at the Guru, at the administrator, but will show due respect to everyone, without distinction of any kind. For the good of our movement.


Gurudeva, please I have a question, a requirement for second initiation is BS, do all candidates meet that requirement?


HpS - Not officially in ISKCON. Especially not for Vaisya type people. Karuna K. Das is giving them all the Brahminical test of 50-questions that supposed to have come from Sriman Harikesa Das yatra and must pass disciple course, and be following regulative principles for long time and up early ... Is initiation, beginning. Then....


All glories to the HpS disciples! To the virtuous ASA family!

All glories to Srila Prabhupada!

Yugala Kisora ​​Dasi. (The exterminator, I say The Examiner)


ASA - Thank you "E"... 🙂

What was the level of freedom of the "E" release from lust, anger and greed whe taking second initiation? Has made progress? Some faults still challenge?

(CP-PCM, CP-KD) letter of ekangui devi dasi

3 years, 4 months ago by Radha Japa in Other

Remembered Gurumaharaja


Please acceot my obeisances to your feets of lotus!


I wish today a wonderful Vyasa Puja in Peru!

All Glories to Srila Prabhupada! All Glories to You!


Ekangui Devi Dasi asked me to tell him about his life now and here is what he told me to tell him:


She continues to live in Chile. She married a Chinese man in March 2019. He has a 9 month old daughter and is very into kindness. She tells me that she does not follow the process at all but she is fortunate that her best friends are devotees and they remind her of you and Krishna.


Every day she sings Nrsimha pranam and Govinda to her baby and leads a very blessed life that she believes that at some point Krishna has taken pleasure in her.

She always remembers him and esteems him very much. You will always be very important to her and she hopes to speak of your glories to her daughter.


Please ask her to send your blessings for her baby, her name is Yí Lin. He wishes him well and asks for his good health.


These are the words that ekangui devi dasi asked me to write to him.

PleaseForgive any offense Gurudev.

[Dandavats] Hare Krsna

3 years, 4 months ago by nicole_silva in Personal Sadhana Reports

Querido Maharaja. ¡Hare Krsna!

Por favor acepte mis eternas y humildes reverencias.

¡AGTSP! 🙌


Ha pasado muchísimo tiempo desde la última vez que escribí en el blog. Por favor, disculpe mi ausencia.

Tengo muchas cosas que contarle, pero prefiero no abrumarlo con una carta gigante.

Escribiré las cosas que considero más importantes y luego enviaré otras cartas con otro detalles.


Tenía muchas ganas de ir a Santa Eulalia a compartir con usted y los vaisnavas. Mi intención era estar presente en su Vyasa Puja, pero por cordinaciones en el trabajo no pude realizarlo. Añoro mucho poder compartir con usted, entendiendo que cada vez queda menos para su retiro a India. Espero poder ir próximamente, de todas maneras.


Mi sadhana a flaqueado mucho. Me cuesta levantarme temprano para poder cantar mis rondas... Y a veces no he alcanzado a cumplir con mi meta diaria 😭

Me enojo conmigo misma por no cumplir con aquello con lo que me comprometí... Tratar de conectarme con Krsna mediante sus Santos Nombres. Pero voy mejorando, tratando de volver al estandar comprometido 😁

Siento la diferencia cuando no me puedo levantar temprano a cantar mis rondas (intentando cantarlas con atención), y las veces en las que las canto de forma desatenta.

Cantar con la bolsa de japa, sentir como las cuentas pasan por mis dedos, y como los Santos Nombres aparecen susurrando en mi oído, es algo que valoro mucho... Y extraño.


Actualmente, por el horario, no puedo ingresar diaramente al FMP. Extraño mucho el programa. Es un bálsamo para mi corazón. Generalmente a las 6.30am ya me estoy preparando para ir al trabajo, pero las veces que ingreso más tarde, puedo tomar más atención al programa y me conecto a escuchar con alegría y atención.


Mañana preguntaré nuevamente por el código de prioridad en el FMP. Así continuo con mi relato en otra carta (Si me lo permite 🙏

). Hay cosas que me gustaría contarle con mayor detalle.

Muchas gracias por permitirme acompañarlo, de alguna forma, en su sankirtan, y por acompañarme día a día con su inspiración.


Mis reverencias eternas, Maharaja.

Que tenga un muy buen descanso.



Se despide atentamente,

Bh. Nicole Silva.

Dear Maharaja. Hare Krsna!

Please accept my eternal and humble obeisances.

AGTSP! 🙌

It's been a long time since I last wrote on the blog. Please excuse my absence.

I have a lot to tell you, but I prefer not to overwhelm you with a giant letter.


Tom Brown: Thank you!!! AGTSP! Yet, we want to hear your adventures with Krsna.


I will write the things that I consider most important and then I will send other letters with other details.

I really wanted to go to Santa Eulalia to share with you and the Vaishnavas. My intention was to be present at his Vyasa Puja, but due to coordination at work I could not do it. I really long to be able to share with you, understanding that there is less and less left for your retirement to India. I hope to be able to go soon, anyway.


HpS - Krsna will arrange the external meetings. Look for His indications.


My sadhana has faltered a lot. I have a hard time getting up early to be able to sing my rounds... And sometimes I haven't reached my daily goal 😭


ASA: Prabhupada said one time, keep trying ad eventually you will become perfect in this practice. Even an ape can do it.


I get angry with myself for not fulfilling what I committed to... Trying to connect with Krsna through his Holy Names. But I'm getting better, trying to get back to the compromised standard 😁



HpS - You learn the tricks of Maya and how to surpass them. Bigger challenges are coming.


I feel the difference when I can't get up early to chant my rounds (trying to chant them attentively), and the times when I chant them inattentively.


Singing with the japa bag, feeling how the beads pass through my fingers, and how the Holy Names appear whispering in my ear, is something that I value very much... And I miss.


Currently, due to the schedule, I cannot enter the FMP on a daily basis. I miss the show so much. It is a balm for my heart. Usually at 6:30 am I'm already getting ready to go to work, but the times I come in later, I can pay more attention to the program and I connect to listen with joy and attention.


HpS - Full evening program? Tell us how we can serve you better.


Tomorrow I will ask again for the priority code in the FMP. So I continue with my story in another letter (If you allow me 🙏). There are things I would like to tell you in more detail.


Thank you very much for allowing me to accompany him, in some way, in her sankirtan, and for accompanying me day by day with his inspiration.


My eternal obeisances, Maharaja.


Have a very good rest.


Kindly say goodbye,


Bh. Nicole Silva.


HpS - ASA ---- Bh. Vinode Thakur says that light work in the best rest.

Now it is 5.44PM. We had a near perfect (Brahminical) day today with ArtD, PTD, JgD, Carolina-Rasarani-Madhavi (She is standing up by herself with no help for the first time), MvDD and now everyone in the Blog etc.

We will go for the FEP.

Our health is much improved.

We have to each very simply or the pitta element gets to big and scatters all of ther body. Could destroy it!

(Varaha is Coming) Trip back to Zürich

3 years, 4 months ago by [email protected] in Personal Sadhana Reports

Hare Krishna Maharaj


Please accept my humble obeisances,

All Glories to Srila Prabhupada,


First thank you very much for these wonderful 2 weeks full of strong sadhana and associacion with you and the devotees. was really inspiring and a good experience.


so also the way back to zurich was an experience. hahahah.....2.5 days takes me finally.


HpS - Yes, travel and especially international travel is very hard. Sometimes first class makes it better, but not much.


I have to wait 24 hours for my connecting flight in Miami. So I decide to visit the Lord at the ISKCON temple in Miami...on the way there I meet a devotee from Peru, very nice asociacion.

so we went together, take darshan and eat a really nice prasadam at the end....


HpS - Wow! In the Krsna book Prabhupada says, this: Great devotees travel from places of pilgrimage to others, and on the way meet many interesting people and deliver them from Maya.


it was a very nice arrangement from Krishna :) it was a wonderful day in Miami at the end.

finally in the night i took my last plane to Zurich successfully.


YS Bh.Dave


HpS - ASA --- Zooom! ZOoom! ZOO O M!

After a few days tell us about your new life in Switzerland. You come back as a new person so your relations with others will be new.

(HARMONIUM ) Soldado reportándose

3 years, 4 months ago by Cruz Santa in Personal Sadhana Reports

Hare Krsna querido Guru Maharaja 

Por favor acepte mis rendidas reverencias

Todas las Glorias a Srila Prabhupada

Y Todas las Glorias sean a usted y a los fieles seguidores de Su Divina Gracia. 🙇🏻‍♀️🙇🏻‍♀️🙇🏻‍♀️


Muchas gracias por su respuesta a mi carta anterior, fue liberadora. 

Acabo de darme cuenta, que hace tiempo no le escribo respecto a mi Sadhana y sankirtana ¡Por favor discúlpeme!…


Por su misericordia sin causa y la de Srila Prabhupada, hemos podido: Cumplir con nuestros votos de iniciación; 16 Rondas mínimo, 4 principios - mantenemos algunos apegos por comer en exceso, estamos tratando de mejorar cada vez -


SADHANA

-Mangala Aratika regular (a veces fallo 3 o 4 veces al mes).

-Lectura diaria de los libros de Srila Prabhupada. 

-Escucho clases de Srila Prabhupada regularmente y 

-Asisto frecuentemente a las clases de la ASA y otras (principalmente de SS Yadunandana Swami, Urmila DD, SS Guru Prasad Swami y SS Bhakti Sundara Goswami) 

*En casa atiendo a Sus Señorías, de forma muy básica y simple, nos esforzamos por ser puntuales y limpios (como usted indico)


SALUD Y ECONOMÍA 

-El problema original en el cerebro persiste porque es inoperable, pero parece que hemos aprendido a vivir con eso. 

-Después de nuestra última cirugía cerebral, nos hemos recuperado casi 90%. Aunque los problemas de memoria son irreversibles y experimentamos otras secuelas, parece que somos funcionales como cualquier otra persona. (Quizá todos estamos enfermos o un poco locos) 

-Hace tiempo que no tengo un trabajo estable... Así que, nos mantenemos sólo por la misericordia sin causa que Sri Krsna envía a través de mi madre y algunos buenos amigos. 


ESTUDIOS

-Al fin terminamos nuestro estudio Bhakti Sastri bajo la guía de SS Yadunandana Swami ¡ha sido una experiencia maravillosa!... obtuvimos nuevos y agradables asociados y hemos recibido instrucciones muy valiosas de Su Santidad. 


SERVICIO EN EL TEMPLO

-Retome servicio en el templo, asisto solo 2 días a la semana y realizo un par de servicios humildes. Oramos a Srila Prabhupada para que los acepte aún con nuestros defectos. 


SANKIRTAN

- Crecer Vaisnava – Aunque MUY lentamente, continuamos con este proyecto (online) de educación infantil. Y ya tenemos algunos trabajos que, ¡Krsna mediante!, este año saldrán al público.  

- ASA Carnaval – Estamos apoyando tanto como podemos para mantener la página de Facebook ASA Carnaval. A varios vaisnavas les resulta muy útil esta plataforma.  (Si le parece bien, informaré a detalle en otra carta.)


ASHRAM

-Aunque hace casi 2 años vivo separada de mi esposo, me mantengo fiel a él. Él no está físicamente y quizá no volverá jamás. Pero yo siento que sólo ha ido a un largo viaje y mantengo mi relación de afecto, respeto y lealtad hacia él, aunque de una manera más sutil. Él es un buen vaisnava y yo oro constantemente por su bienestar. 

- Aunque tarde -, he encontrado tres devotas que me están ayudado mucho para aprender de mi paso por el Grihastha Asram y he tomado algunas asesorías con el Grihasta Vision Team. Estoy tratando de aprender tanto como puedo de esta experiencia, esperando que mis errores sirvan a otros como señales de alerta. 


Muchas gracias Gurudeva, de no ser por su misericordia y la de Srila Prabhupada, esta batalla habría acabado conmigo desde hace tiempo.  

Gracias por mantenernos vivos y luchando.

Hare Krsna dear Guru Maharaja

Please accept my deepest obeisances

All Glories to Srila Prabhupada

And All Glories be to you and to the faithful followers of His Divine Grace. 🙇🏻‍♀️🙇🏻‍♀️🙇🏻‍♀️


Thank you very much for your response to my previous letter, it was liberating.

I just realized that I haven't written to you about my Sadhana and Sankirtana in a long time. Please excuse me!…


By his and Srila Prabhupada's causeless mercy, we have been able to: Fulfill our initiation vows; 16 Rounds minimum, 4 principles - we keep some addictions to overeating, we are trying to improve every time -


HpS - ASA - So are we!


SADHANA

-Mangala Aratika regular (sometimes I fail 3 or 4 times a month).


-Daily reading of Srila Prabhupada's books.


-I listen to Srila Prabhupada's classes regularly and


-I frequently attend ASA and other classes (mainly from HH Yadunandana Swami, Urmila DD, HH Guru Prasad Swami and HH Bhakti Sundara Goswami)


HpS - Super!


*At home I attend to Your Honors, in a very basic and simple way, we strive to be punctual and clean (as you indicated)


HEALTH AND ECONOMY

-The original problem in the brain persists because it is inoperable, but we seem to have learned to live with it.


-After our last brain surgery, we have almost 90% recovered. Although memory problems are irreversible and we experience other consequences, it seems that we are functional like any other person. (Maybe we're all sick or a little crazy)


ASA - !!!


-I haven't had a stable job for a long time... So, we support ourselves only by the causeless mercy that Sri Krsna sends through my mother and some good friends.


HpS - Keep learning to understand your body etc. and trying to fit into the Sankirtan movement of Lord Caitanya and your social economic situation with improve. You will be able to make respected contributions to society.


STUDIES

-At last we finished our Bhakti Sastri study under the guidance of HH Yadunandana Swami, it has been a wonderful experience!... we got new and nice associates and we have received very valuable instructions from His Holiness.



SERVICE IN THE TEMPLE

-Return service in the temple, I attend only 2 days a week and perform a couple of humble services. We pray to Srila Prabhupada to accept them even with our flaws.




SANKIRTAN

- Crecer Vaisnava – Although VERY slowly, we continue with this project (online) of children's education. And we already have some works that, Krsna willing!, will be released this year.


- ASA Carnaval – We are supporting as much as we can to maintain the ASA Carnaval Facebook page. Several Vaisnavas find this platform very useful. (If it is okay with you, I will report in detail in another letter.)


HpS - Please, I hear about devotees using it all the time.


ASHRAM

-Although I have been living apart from my husband for almost 2 years, I remain faithful to him. He is not there physically and maybe he will never come back. But I feel that he has only gone on a long journey and I maintain my relationship of affection, respect and loyalty towards him, although in a more subtle way. He is a good Vaisnava and I constantly pray for his welfare.


- Although late -, I have found three devotees who have helped me a lot to learn from my time at the Grihastha Asram and I have taken some advice with the Grihasta Vision Team. I am trying to learn as much as I can from this experience, hoping my mistakes will serve as red flags to others.


Thank you very much Gurudeva, were it not for his and Srila Prabhupada's mercy, this battle would have finished me long ago.


Thank you for keeping us alive and fighting.


Your would-be disciple

Karuna Sakti Devi Dasi


HpS - We are just products of His Divine Grace. Love exists because Krsna is so kind. You are connecting with The Ocean of Mercy. Look at Vasudeva Dutta and how he grew as he came in contact with Lord Caitanya.


Let us look at some more letters.

Your report is inspiring to all!!
