My Dakshina To You πŸ™

7Β months ago by Radha Japa in Personal Sadhana Reports

Please Gurudeva accept my respectful obeisances to the life-filled dust emanating from His merciful lotus feet. You are taking us to Vrndavam!

All Glories To Srila Prabhupada!

All Glories To You, Our GuruMaharaja!


We've spoken with the respected Prabhu Abhiram to give you some dakshina. And he very kindly replied that it would be difficult to send you if it's a little money. So I want to tell Gurudev that, no matter how expensive it is to send you via Western Union, please send me your details so I can send you some dakshina. It's the least I can do for helping me so much. I don't have much money to send, but whatever I have, I want to send it to you. Please give me your mercy so that I can somehow reciprocate.


Very grateful, asking for forgiveness for unintentionally committing any offense, I await your response.


Radha Japa Prati Jalpa Devi dasi

asa - he, agtSP, is right. western union etc are useless. maybe start an ASA account with Ambarisa Das, vrsabhanu devi das et all and then we can use it for ASA work in Cordoba, Are Gin Tee Na.

Watch for devotees traveling to USA, Mexico etc. and they can hand carry it!!

When I read the last verse you posted on Anvesaka, about chanting the holy name, I felt worried, because I don't remember asking your permission to increase the number of rounds. I only remember being excited when I read that Srila Prabhupada said: Never decrease, always increase. !!!! This motivated me a lot. And that's why I increased my chanting. As you say; Better late than never. So I ask your permission, the dust of your feet, to increase my number of rounds! and to always be able to perform the days of Ekadasi vrata better and better. In general, to increase the quality of my service to You.

Thank you very much, eternal thanks Sri GuruMaharaja ki Jaya!!!!!!!!πŸ™πŸ™‡πŸ»β€β™€οΈπŸ™πŸ™‡πŸ»β€β™€οΈπŸ™πŸ™‡πŸ»β€β™€οΈπŸ™πŸ™‡πŸ»β€β™€οΈπŸŒΉπŸŒΊπŸ’πŸ’πŸŒΊπŸŒΉπŸŽ΅πŸ’ƒπŸŽ΅πŸ’–πŸŒΉπŸ™

HpS/ASA - I guess, agtSP, we can chant more rounds any time and it does not mean that we have to chant that number of extra rounds the following day.

if we make some formal commitment to chant more rounds daily, then we have to do that.

we can make a promise to chant more rounds during this kartika month, but not every kartika month, no?

i guess you and others have our permission to chant more rounds like that.

I've been writing garbage since before I was a devotee, and when I first encountered the movement, the figure of Krishna and his beautiful face inspired me so much. He was and is my sole inspiration for writing. You and Srila Prabhupada's immense love! Everything combines to make my heart write. I never think, "Now I'm going to write." Sentences just come out, and I have to run to get paper and pencil so my songs or poems don't get lost.


Now, by Your mercy, I'll take some time out of the week to write. It's so beautiful. And then, do I send you my writings? In fact, before sending you my poems and songs, I always thought, while laughing, "Where is the current Ramananda Roy?" to show him my writings and see if they're appropriate, and if they don't have rasabasa... but I never asked who could read them before you. I just sent them to you. Please forgive the mistakes. So, what should I do? I've accumulated a lot of junkπŸ˜…, a few more songs for Govinda... How should I refine them? Can I send you what I'm writing and polish it little by little? Whatever you say, it'll be a pleasure to continue.

I would like Uncle Gizmo to engage me in His service. Thank you, Gurumaharaja, and please forgive any unintentional offenses in this letter.

HpS/ASA - AgtSP.

First

write once. then edit right after you write for better grammar, choice of words, rhythm and rhyme.

Second

look at it after one week and edit again or shred it and use it for fire starter.

after one week you will not be able to remember the personal thoughts that you had while you were writing and which your reader will not know.

you will be able to read it much more like your audience is reading it.

Third

post it to the Blog and HpS/ASA will comment as best they can.


Vishvareta

Hare Krishna, Maharaja and Devotees.


We have lost another disciple of Prabhupada today, Vishvareta Prabhu. I met him in India in the 80's and reconnected with him in Miami. He, without a doubt, was my very good friend. Anyone that came in contact with him will say the same.


He departed today in the glorious month of Kartika surrounded by devotees. Oh, if only I could be so fortunate.


I am sharing a picture of him and me in New Vrndavaba 1986. This material world is so temporary and we (more me) are baffled to believe we will be eternally healthy and good looking.


I plan to be more active here as long as no one is offended

Jaya Krishna das


HpS/ASA - AgtSP!! We had little contact with Prabhu. Of course, his son, Bhakti Visvareta was famous for being attended by by Prabhupada and leading Kirtan even as a child.

We will chant the Maha-mantra in front of his picture, and ask other so also chant!!

If you like, keep a picture of him prominent in your Ashrama and chant Maha-mantra in front of it as you decide, no?

Hare Krishna Gurudeva

PAMHO - AGTSP


I'm sorry for not connecting to the programs for a while. On the one hand, it was because I forgot after you didn't connect during a lapse in your travels, and also because I woke up late.


A few months ago, I felt a lack of motivation in my spiritual life, and some days I didn't chant all my rounds. Thanks to Krishna, I was now able to chant those missing rounds.


This whole earthquake in my consciousness is basically due to my sexual desire.


Krishna has shown me that it's time to take the step of getting married. Once I became aware of that, my sexual desire changed completely, and my mind became quite calm in that regard.


I wish to fulfill this role well. I've been avoiding marriage for nine years, but it's no longer healthy for me to continue struggling.


My obeisances, Gurudeva.


HpS/ASA - agtSP!!! paobw..... One thought.

Seva to senior devotees. Service Priorities

Hare Krishna Maharaja

Dandavat pranam. All glories to Srila Prabhupada

Hoping this message finds you good health.


HpSwami - AgtSP. Of course that must mean relatively good health, because these bodies are diseases, no?


As many disciples of Srila Prabhupada are nearing 50 years of service there are many in need of service them selves. It gives us, their juniors, an opportunity to serve them nicely and offer our selves as receptacles for Srila Prabhupada mercy.


As much as we're in need of devotee association they are enacting their aprakata lila which gives us neophytes a chance to help them do basic menil services for our own self purification. Where are we may not be able to always serve our Guru Dev personally or confidentially were greatful that your God brothers allow us to render service to them.


A question bearing in mind, can the service we provide them be considered 'Guru Seva ', specifically does it hold priority over other areas of our Sadhana? Or temple seva? And more importantly can we incur any sinful reaction from neglecting these kinds of service provided the opportunity to serve has been presented? Please forgive us of our ignorance in this matter and any inability to follow instructions that have been render in this or any other matter. All of our short comings originate from our anarthas.


Devoid of any desire to serve

HpS - ASA --- AgtSP!!!

We did the following search on www.VedaBase.IO - "https://vedabase.io/en/search/?query=aradhanam".


Looks like could be some good thoughts about your question.


Does it help?


I would say that constant chanting, praying to Radha to pray to Rama Krsna, for vidya, good intelligence with enlighten us about how to make priorities in our service, no?


Serve ISKCON deities according to the regular schedule. Srila Prabhupada is there and his authentic disciples, so there is nor conflict in serving, Guru, devotees, and Krsna.

Follow NOI 5 and 6 in terms of priorities and types of service to different "gurus".


If we make mistakes because of immaturity there is no problem. Senior devotees understand amongst themselves.

If a child offers plate of Prasada to his mother first, she says thank you and then says, let us offer this to daddy first etc.


This is very useful, no? https://vedabase.io/en/library/sb/10/9/5/
