Dear Gurudeva.
My mom was in Puerto Rico, she passed away today, very early morning February 28th. She was chanting her one round every day. I liked to let you know and ask you humbly, please could you pray for her soul. Thank you so much for everything you do for us.
At your service,
Sacimata dd
HpS - ASA - Sorry it has taken a week to answer! She is thinking about her son. He is a devotee. She has gone up!! What was her name? Any foto of her?

Puntualidad - Maha en el cerro - el hipopotamo

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

Hk PAMHO

Querido Guru Maharaja, continuamos con el servicio de pujari, nos hemos habituado, Ud. en varias oportunidades me explicó que la puntualidad es lo más importante, si podría explicar con más detalle, así lo comprendo y lo comparto en el pujari.

En Nityananda se inició el servicio de food for life, subimos a los cerros, lo pintoresco del paisaje, los niños juguetones, libres de temor, sin mascarillas, me alegraron la tarde. Este programa continuará aún no sé con qué frecuencia. Sin lugar a dudas da mucha satisfacción a las autoridades, quienes lo organizaron.

Estoy temporalmente por aquí hasta que se normalice la situación de la pandemia que espero este de bajada, después no sabemos, quiero hacer las cosas lo mejor posible.

Continúo estudiando no como quisiera las escrituras, con el taller de la surabhi azul, tengo una alumna, una vez que me organice más, espero dar nuevamente BS y Pada padma, amo el SB y el CC.

Hay devotos que en la pandemia se alejaron, a falta de asociación, maya los cubrió por diversos motivos, que nos recomienda para ayudarlos.

Espero mejorar mi japa, ser más disciplinada, pido sus bendiciones en ese propósito.


El hipopótamo de la poesía exactamente a que se refiere, a las críticas de los ateos, o seguidores, que con el santo, los evangelio y los sacramentos van purificando al ser y puede llegar a ascender mientras que la institución de la iglesia en la tierra sigue siendo juzgada y comete errores, es correcta mi interpretación. Estoy segura que en esa predica deleitara a todos.

Su hija que lo adora:

Dear Guru Maharaja, we continue with the pujari service, we have become accustomed, you explained to me on several occasions that punctuality is the most important thing, if you could explain in more detail, I understand it and share it in the pujari.


HpS - ASA ---- Hare Krsna! What we remember from Pujari workshop in Mayapura was that we should serve Krsna with:

  1. Love
  2. Cleanliness
  3. Punctuality
  4. Paraphernalia and Rituals.

🙂


In Nityananda-trayodasi the food for life service began, we went up to the hills, the picturesque landscape, the playful children, free from fear, without masks, made my afternoon happy. This program will continue I don't know how often yet. Without a doubt it gives great satisfaction to the authorities, who organized it.


I am temporarily here until the pandemic situation normalizes, which I hope is going down, then we do not know, I want to do the best possible.


I continue studying the scriptures not as I would like, with the blue surabhi workshop, I have a student, once I organize myself more, I hope to give again BS and Pada padma, I love SB and CC.


There are devotees who in the pandemic moved away, due to lack of association, Maya covered them for various reasons, which she recommends to us to help them.


I hope to improve my japa, to be more disciplined, I ask for your blessings in that purpose.


The hippopotamus of poetry exactly refers to, the criticisms of atheists, or followers, who with the saint, the gospels and the sacraments purify the being and can rise while the institution of the church on earth she continues to be judged and makes mistakes, my interpretation is correct. I'm sure that in that preaching he will delight everyone.


HpS - It is a nice poem to keep us from Niyamagraha, NoI 2! From your news you are ready to serve in Goloka. It is just the same as serving Radha Krsna, Madana-bihari, in this world.

Trivial

4 years, 3 months ago by chas d lind in Special Category B

pamho, AGtSP!



Returned from Florida after a week of house-seva and had a strong lesson in impersonalism.



The home I was working on had Yellow-Jackets starting nests in the front entry ceiling and was in process of removing their nests before they got entrenched. Considering the most humane process to do this, I decided to use a hose with a water-nozzle and knock off nest foundations and sweep the hornets away, wet, but safely.



The first of the 2 nests went smoothly; the second was more effort, though I finally succeeded in its removal. Then a toxic spray was applied around the parameter to deter future builds. 



All good thus far... then I felt something on my left leg, there was someone climbing up my calf, so I quickly, “shake-a-leg “ as they say, the hornet had me, it could of bit or stung me. Flopping to the driveway pavement the wasp was contorting and twisting. I thought it was injured. Moving closer to observe, the yellow-jacket turned and looked at me, then it straightened out and flew to a nearby tree. The expression and contractions were directed at me, had feelings that animosity was there, I’ve never experienced that with a trivial insect before.



Later on, I was fortunate to be able to go to an evening home program in Alachua (see photo) and get some good association. Left early though, had to catch up on rounds and made it back to the house. Chanting as best I could, it was still getting late and my back rested on the wall...then I’m out.



 A tiny voice woke me from my stupor; the voice was from a dream of a miniature entity, not quite insect or human. The moment shocked me; I was impersonal in my earlier pest objectives and caused an offense to another soul, one in a tiny six-legged body. The insignificant bug had me in a quandary, for my actions could deem karmic repercussions and certainly did not want to be displaced as I had done to this yellow-jacket.



The following day I was packing and getting ready to return to Houston while finalizing the remainder of Grha-service and stepped outside to see 3 out of the 4 wasps all in a circle at an above ceiling light fixture. Still feeling remorse, I took a bottle of Ganga & saltwater and gave them all a light shower and continued packing.


Pulling out of the garage, I went back to secure the doors and saw one last wasp at the light. Grabbed a boom and gently swooshed it away and watched it return to its tree. Closing the house, I left realizing I was really the one who was insignificant and trivial, I came destroyed and then departed. Duties sometimes may seem petty, yet for others it may seem most horrendous.



Sorry to “bug” with my buzzing blog, Maharaja, just needed to share my lack of care and try to do things more aware.



All Glories to your service!


your servant , c.c.


HpS - Hare Krsna. It is impossible not to kill in the material world while drinking water, lighting fires, or walking. Vedas say so... Then we have to settle up our debt. So many sacrifices are there, but in Kali yuga the sacrifice is there.

Try to minimize the violence and then Krsna will make the rest perfect!!

Salute to Monkey Commando--- (long , not urgent)

previous letter : https://monkeywarrior.com/detail/12107/

Hare Krsna Maharaj, PAMHO, AGTSP,


here goes our Journal-ism for you only... SHared it....


Seeing your effort to find Sita is commendable ..... Jaya Hanuman....


multiple developments


  1. We read NOD, chatper on Chivalry, very very nice. this attracted us much more than Gopi Pastimes. But we were arogant, we wanted to be Gopa and fight with Krsna,. Gopas are also very elevated. I think its better to be turf on which Krsna-Gopa Wrestle or dust on the turf.

Narsimha himself taught us this lesson, there was mock fight with our trainer, and

he blew our nose. It was blood raining from nose. It was fun, but Nrsng deva you are

not worth fighting , too weak. Morever Srila Prabhupada, invited Nrsng Deva for

protection primarily not worship.


Anyways, may we assist Krsna in his past times with Gopas , where little wrestle is

involved. again we are arrogant..

may we serve Tom Brown, thats what we can be at best.


2 . One can see moon directly, but with help of telescope its much better. HpS is the lens

closest to our naked eyes, next lense is Srila Prabhupada and series go on.

We are fortunate to find HpS in our life.


3 . We have not heard from bodily hijo for more than 6 months. It seems in temple also

people might be staying away us from our strange social dealings.

I just go to temple hear from temple president, eat prasad, practice Piano and come

back. We are afraid of any responsibility esp in this circumstances.


4. We heard that god can be taken as pain killer or medicine. We have understood, we have

taken God as primarily pain killer. But without guru the medicine is difficult. We are

staying alone, even day to day matters also some times become event. Psyc experts have

identified problem with our upbring and socialization.


5 . in 2010, we met a person a name "Harsh Daddichi", we think it will be nice to donate

organs for some worthy cause or money. We can not figure out how to use this body and

mind, and dovetail it.


6 . When we see many people are able to help you in some sort, then we feel we are

parasite living on you. Many times dont want to disturb you.


7 . Regarding intiation--- 4 rules more strong, mangal arti dwindled. Difficult to do enthused

rounds. Dont know we hare grahmeddhi or householder or vanprastha or brahmchari.

I dont know can we withstand Intiation Standards, and local authorities relationship.


How do we engage ourself in Srila Prabhupada service properly ? loose many battles

against body and mind. can not commit suicide, as life is not that bad.


Every morning Sun shine and sun, gives us hope. and only question we ask krsna why do

you love rascal like us ? he tell we are not our conditioning, we just have forgotten what

we are


8 . We have academic support, so we engage ourself in Inductive sciences with ease.

We tried our hands in stock market, and we some how like the mathematics which is

there. It seems make money from it, and rise in career.



9 . We are honored by emplyed in for Tom Brown for ASA-e. It will be dispatched soon.


thank you 2 leg animal born in India...


HpS - Esteemed two-legged animal of India. Thank you for your letter. I think I am just about as crazy as you. Only determination is to die chanting 16-rounds. Even if it is:

Ha

Ray

Krs

Na.....





Ha

Ray

Krs

Na... ... .... If you are chanting HK:HR you are good. If you are not chanting you are bad or it is uncertain. Kali yuga.
