[Harmonium] Thoughts

Hare Krsna Beloved Gurudeva:

AGTSP, PAMHO


Well, it's been a while since I wrote to the blog. Since I arrived from NY everything was moving so fast. I call recall my 2 hours call with LATAM in order to change my flight so I can be for the Sri Vyasa Puja. It was an interesting VP but I can say that most were overjoyed.


I want to express my gratitude from the bottom of my heart to Palika dd and Jambavan das due to I was in NY they were handling all the organization pretty well. Jambavan and Jana pavana made a susbtantial effort in order to have and present a nice offering.


HpS - The variety and excellence of distribution of the Prasdam offerings was incredible! AgtSP!


I asked Radhika Raman prabhu's offering in advance due to he always present a very deep, sober and profound offering. While I was translating it I realized that I was speechless, haha what can I say. He had already covered everything.


HpS - We can smile and wag our tails.


In my last flight I saw two movies once with a Dog's story haha. But one part of the first movie was about a young boy who was neglected by his family, but one teacher was taking care of him and his education, she wanted to adopt him, nevertheless his evil family do not permit that, she and her husband became attached to him due to the little boy was living with them for a little time. And when she was about to say good bye to him, she told him "You can become whatever you want, you just have to believe in yourself"


Years pass and she passed away, but his husband one day open the door and there it was the little boy now as an adult. With a picture of her teacher. He is a famous artist now. And he said: I was always recall the words from my beloved teacher: The one who actually believe in myself and gave me support. "You can become whatever you want, you just have to believe in yourself" and I did he said: I am an artist now. He gave some financial support to his teacher's husband.


The whole point to this story, is that you as our Spiritual Master has already touched our lives in such a way that we feel support, confidence, gratitude. That is the power of an Superb Master.


HpS - "The time has come, the walrus said, to talk of many things. Of ships and sails and sealing wax, of cabbages and kings, and why the sea is boiling hot and whether pigs have wings", Louis Carol, maybe "Alice in Wonderland".

If we Monkeys and Piggys have wings, have helped anybody it is because Srila Prabhupada can make even pigs fly!!! 😳 Whatever good qualities you find in us are maybe very little due us and all due to him, Krsna!


I called ARTD in order to have the possibility to go and visit You and my good friend Carolina, the kids, this weekend, but he told me that it was impossible, I was expecting that he asked me to do the covid test but he didn't even ask me that. I have my vacinnations and the booster shot. Anyway. I hope to see you in Nityananda Trayodasi.


HpS - Yes, we discussed it. I said ask Carolina and he said that she was seeing so much difficulty even with the testing that she was afraid that the children might get infected from visitors.

Hmmm.

We are more controlled now with children here, but maybe later!!

For sure we are planning on visiting Chosica temple for many hours on Nitya-ananda tryodasi.


I am giving a summer course, but not English, this time I am giving statistics. I remember oh yes I am an Engineer too haha. It is really nice I am revising my notes. Journalists do not like numbers. So I have a very hefty challenge there.


HpS - Making numbers fun!!


Tomorrow I am giving the Class for Iskcon Chosica. This is my only current practical service.


Thanks for all Gurudeva

I hope to see you soon

CMDD


HpS - Now you must become a Guru. You must find ways to introduce BG and SB into your circle of contacts. The external form does not matter as much as the concepts.

There is a reason why things happen to us.

Next life you be the Gandhari?

Have 100 sons!!!!

From bad to worse, but see Krsna face to face ....

Varaha is Coming. Ayurvedic Symposium

3 years, 5 months ago by bhaktanicasio in Calendar Development

Hare Krishna Gurudev,

Please accept my humble obeisances,

All Glories to Srila Prabhupada,

Here we are at Sri Govardhan, struggling to continue with our spiritual life. We think we have a pretty decent life!!


HpS-ASA - Here at New Ashoka van, AGTSP!, we are also struggling, but maybe not as hard as you because you may be more sincere than we are, and we guess that Radha and the Gopis are also struggling!! 🙂


I want to ask you what do you envision for this Ayurvedic Symposium so I can prepare accordingly.

We arrive to Peru on February 13th. We are coordinating everything with Abhiram Prabhu!!

I hope I can be of some utility to your glorious Sankirtan!!

See you in sixteen days!!

At your service,

Nikunja Bihari das.


HpS - We were thinking we might do something with Rupa-anuga Das and we still think that way, but now that he is no longer in the local gross body we could try to access his association in a different way. We can try to get Eric, his esteemed son, and others to inform us of his papers, books, library etc. and try to generate some inheritance from those.

Other than that I think a general discussion will be good for the movie.

Do you have some specific goals that have motivated you to come?

Of course, we can connect with the Argentinian yatra, and now we are starting to communicate with Bernardo Nantes about Jung and the Bhakti-siddhanta, so you might like to get involved in that.

We can also discuss rural development. Vedic civilization and the modern world.

Hari Bolo!

The Oriental Kings

Querido Gurumaharaja

Por favor acepte mis respetuosas reverencias.

[CP-KD - Varaha] is Coming

3 years, 5 months ago by natyelligarza_108 in Personal Sadhana Reports

Hare Krishna, Hare Rama

All Glories To Srila Prabhupada!!


Please Maharaja, accept my must humble obeisances.

Just write this letter to thank all the effort and dedication you do day by day.


HpS - ASA -- The same to you from Krsna and Rama!


I am very confused about how to serve you, how to be grateful for all the causeless mercy.


HpS - Basis is Sankirtan. Thank Lord Caitanya, Parampara, by Sankirtan. Basis of that is 16-enthusiastic rounds and four principles strictly! .... Rest follows naturally. 🙂


Im chanting my japa with more enthusiasm than ever, it is maybe because of your mercy and the blessings of the devotees, that it seems that finally we can see the ligth. (maya maya)


However, we know this is only an opportunity to advance a little in this process. We are totally indebted to you. Thank you Thak you soooooo much! 🙇🏼‍♀️🙇🏼‍♀️🙇🏼‍♀️🙇🏼‍♀️🙇🏼‍♀️🙇🏼‍♀️🙇🏼‍♀️

...by the way, the test have already started, we just got sick with covid, only only mind...


As you always tell me in last letters, we are trying to do it well. So, we already gave one more step. We talked with my parents and they gave us blessing to get married. So, next thing is to have a piggy bank for a small meeting for our families and have a civil wedding, then fire wedding. Too much plans and new horizons are coming.


Guru Maharaja, in the last Kapi Dvaja you mention about not finding my recomendation letter, so here it is. 👩🏼‍🦯


HpS - Thank you. What we needed was your secular name and date of birth. Asta sakhi Devi Dasi sent it to the Blog in another letter and we posted the updated www.jayarama.us/kd/guru-tattva.txt file. Globat, our internet provider, has been really slow. It took us 1-hour (!) to open the four webpages necessary to up date it, but that was O.K. because it allowed us to go from 20 to 25-rounds!! Our goal is 50-rounds per day.


Well Gurudev, with no more important things to report you, hoping that you enjoy a lot of health and enthusiasm, your eternal aspirant to servant. Nandini Devi Dasi.


HpS - Super!!! Get ready to play Draupadi or Gandhari etc. in your next life!


The photos are very nice!




Hispanoamerican Symposium Report (The oriental kings)

3 years, 5 months ago by Germán Vegas in Special Category B

Hare Krsna dear Gurumaharaja

Please accept our humble obeisances

All glories to Srila Prabhupada!


I give you the report of the Symposium, I hope I am not overlooking any important information.


Goals

  • To consolidate ASA's efforts in education: the different branches were integrated (ASA Carnaval, Argentina and Chile. Why not ASA Peru???)), who contributed in advertising and transmiting the event in social media / ASA also contributed with their member's dedicated presentations (SS Hanumatpresaka Swami, LAD, Candramukhi dd, Priya Sakhi dd and Gandharva das) / and cooperated with MOE representatives organizing the event.
  • NIOS participated as sponsor and support (mainly in the hands of ARTD, with whom a fluid and effective coordination was maintained).
  • The development [of] the 3 major topics proposed by you (Who is an educated man? What are the Steps on the Educational Ladder? Books are the Basis, The Bhaktivedanta Library, Srila Prabhupada's Four Diplomas. Daivi Varna Ashrama Dharma.

ASA - This is more than three topics! 🐵


  • The presence of the MOE in the region is consolidating, presenting itself as an institution sincerely interested in education development, with initiative and the support of a work team that carried out the project.
  • It has been possible to form a community of educators and devotees committed in education service, as a result of the event, the Facebook page is maintained with 190 members.


Technical information:

  • 20 event days / 19 participants / 4 presenters / 3 translators / between 30 and 60 devotees attending each day


To improve:

  • There were presentations that repeated part of their content (curator error).
  • There was some inexperience in handling broadcasts on Zoom and Facebook (we have learned a lot!).
  • We consider that the event can last half the time for future occasions.
  • Simultaneous translations can be substantially improved to integrate English-speaking devotees.
  • The lack of interest on the part of the authorities was overwhelming. The authorities of Chile and Bolivia participated permanently, but they were the exception.

ASA - This verse is perfect perspective for this situation, no? https://vedabase.io/es/library/lob/21/


What follows:

  • First of all, talk with you and receive your instructions and suggestions in this regard (we will be in Chosica from February 3 to 12).

HpS - Of course, with Pandemic etc this will not happen, but we had and excellent discussion with Bali-mardana Das and now we will work on PanAmerican symposia: Preliminary from Houston (within March 7th-17th) and Robust first week in June from Boise, Idaho.

We need more meetings, maybe periodical, web page.

We will visit Spain July to October.

  • A permanent committee composed of the 4 representatives and 4 education leaders will be created to develop the necessary strategies.

HpS - Super! Please introduce them in the Blog!!!


  • A way will be sought to further integrate the educational community in Latin America, through other similar events, seminars, diplomas and the training of new teachers.
  • The possibility of publishing an online magazine (every three months) that provides information and constitutes a basis for reflection on these issues is being analyzed in order to attract more devotees committed to this service.
  • Find a way to integrate and involve local authorities, who are not very interested in educational development.

Thank you very much for your help

Your servant

Gandharva das


HpS - ASA - Thank you!!! We agree like 97% with you analysis of the event. We heard continuous praises of the program.

If people are reading the books then they must be buying them.

Read to learn. Learn to teach!!!
