Dvaraka - Caturthi Reading Update

3 years, 10 months ago by sugopiradha in Special Category B

Respected Guru Maharaja,

Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada and all glories to your unmotivated and uninterrupted service.


I am striving to maintain my commitment to waking up at 4 AM, attending Mangala Arati, listening to SB and BG classes, reading Srila Prabhupada's books, and bathing Gaura Nitai daily.


ASA/TomBrown-Buck White-HpS - So are we! If it were not for the sincere association of devotees that attend the online program we might not be able to do it! 😲



I have also been reading from Memories, Dreams, and Reflections. Through various case studies, Jung repeatedly demonstrates that there is some meaning and sense behind the behavior of the psychologically ill. That meaning can be unearthed by analyzing the patient's life experiences, the patient's individual unconscious, and the collective unconscious. As I read the stories of Jung's many patients, I often remember how you say something to the effect that insanity is a sane reaction to an insane situation.


While outlining the development of his intellectual methods, in which dream analysis is paramount, Jung describes his connection with Sigmund Freud. He delineates their intellectual disagreements concerning the repression mechanism and the resulting break in their relationship. In the course of this description, Jung regularly asserted that he "was concerned with investigating the truth, not with questions of personal prestige," and therefore decided to distance himself from Freud (158).


Currently, I am reading about Jung's encounter with his individual unconscious (which, in his view, encompassed elements like Philemon, ka, and the anima). In this section, Jung makes some very interesting and explicit connections to the Vedic tradition. I was especially intrigued by his fascination with the guru.


Thank you very much, Guru Maharaja.


Your humble servant,

Sugopi Radha Devi dasi


HpS - Thank you so much. Maybe we can all join in the discussion with Sony Shamdasini in September. He sat in Jung's chair in his library. 😁

The most wonderful thing in the world is to have some deep experience of Lord Chaitanya's world and then to find someone who can appreciate it.

It is so, so enlivening to read your cogent comments on Memories, Dreams and Reflections.

We hope your Sankirtan at Yale and your whole personal atmosphere develop very nicely.

There are no smaller tests for girls, no?

Draupadi was every bit as big a hero as Arjuna, no?


Such happy looking Gaura Nitai. So clean and bright.


Urgente ofrenda a Srila Prabhupada

Querido Gurumaharaja

Por favor acepte nuestras respetuosas reverencias.

¡Todas las glorias a Srila Prabhupada!

Estamos meditando en los servicios para los festivales y pensamos en lo que podemos ofrecer a Srila Prabhupada por su Vyasa-puja, pero únicamente podemos llegar a él a través de su servicio y glorificación por ello le pedimos favor podría si compartirnos su ofrenda de Vyasa-puja 2021 para nuestro Fundador Acarya, cada año se lee en el templo.


Le envío algunas fotos de nuestro servicio para Sri Balarama Purnima. Nuestra salud no estuvo bien sin embargo con ayuda de algunas matajis jóvenes en la vida espiritual que llegaron inesperadamente se pudo lograr, entonces pensamos que eran como las gopis de Sri Balarama bailando en el humor de aprender, recordamos que Usted nos dice que Balarama baila como profesor, no para disfrutarlas sino para enseñarles a bailar con Krsna.

Muchas gracias por sus enseñanzas y misericordia.


Su eterna aspirante a sirviente

Asta Sakhi dd


HpS - ASA --- TlgaSP. No dudas dejar su cuerpo si no funciona bien para su servicio. En la proxima cuerpo vas a ser capaz servir a sus amigos en ISKCON, sus bien inclinados familiares, todos, mejor. 🙂

Pero... si Krsna das tu facilidada servir El y Su amiga Radha en esta mundo, O.K. Sea enthusiasta con los heramientos que El da, no?


Pienso eso es nuestra ofrenda al libro de Vyasapuja.


"Your Divine Grace, Srila A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami, Prabhupada,

Please accept our obeisances at you lotus feet.

You and your ambience are Vrndavana Dhama, but we intrude our conditioned nature into your presence. It is only by your austerity of continually giving us your inspiration and guidance that we have, and are continuing to advance.

Thank you.

Our only business is to surrender more and more to the chanting the Holy Names: ... vidya vadu jivanam... from Their Sankirtan comes all the knowledge we need in our hearts and intelligence to be useful servants in your Sankirtan party.

When we are connected, chanting good rounds early, then so many, many, wonderful things are possible.

The most wonderful is to be connected with the other individual actors in your big mrdanga.

Thank you.

All glories to you and all the assembled devotees.

Your very tiny servants,

Hanumatpresaka Swami

Anjana Suta Academy"

Senyora.

Thank you for the news. We hope that the rituals of marriage were efficacious and that you can follow in the footsteps of such galant ladies as Visnu-priya and Rukmini et al. We hope you had clear vision with your husband about the Ashrama before you took it up and can now build on those more and more.

Our Yoga takes tremendous advantage of the social aspects of reality that Krsna gives us in the material world.

Our respects to your Senyor.

HpS - ASA.

Bh. K. WhatsApped:

I miss Kirtan in public so much Maharaj, so I started to play melodic meditative guitar music in public some days 🎸

People give donations so I give them small Maha Mantra cards I made 🙏😊

Sometimes I distribute

books to them also, Hari Hari!


ASA Responds:

Perfect! Just improve your technique and inspire your own students.



DTC 24(Tu)

Back in The Boro,

With Jambavan Das,

In the airplane from Boise,

We bounced and tossed.

Changed planes in Chicago,

At Midway, O'Hara not,

And it was the same crew on the next plane,

Who remembered us with a delighted thought.


Hari kirtan is our only home.

On that basis Kali-yuga houses,

Can be made into temporary Dhomes.


Hare Krsna.

Hare Rama.


Our bodily energy is pretty good. Will take three days to recover (Rupanuga says). Then Krsna Janmastami, but NIOS work: RRD, Abhiseka, Monk's Podcast, must not wain.


Abhirama reports and it seems the hacienda in Sta. Eulalia is the best for New Asokavan to contain.


Good night.

Hare Krsna.
