Hk pamho querido Guru Maharaja, aquí reportándome, regresé muy feliz de un pueblito piadoso de Murcia, me quedé con una devota amiga de Prabhu Karuna, ella suele venir como voluntaria a NVM.

Se separó de su esposo y no se recupera. Es común encontrarme con gente depresiva, mucha gente se acerca a Krsna por temor a la pobreza, por aflicción, etc. Por eso quería saber que nos recomienda, como podemos ayudar a esas personas, como ellas pueden sobrepasar esas dualidades, la mayoría sufrimos por condicionamiento material. Todos quieren algo necesitan algo, algunos están más locos que otros, frustrados, todo esto hace que descuiden sus prácticas espirituales, merme su fe, muchos caen en inacción.

Le mando unas fotos como reporte de mi servicio en NVM. Y algunas del evento, muy poca gente, faltó publicidad efectiva, algunos creían que venía de India. Recordando Su espíritu, pensé que, aunque sólo hubiera una persona, me esforzaría igual que si fueran 100. Fue una bonita experiencia.

Gracias a sus bendiciones y la venía de Krsna, aunque estamos en cero, sin un plan trazado, espero pronto tenerle un reporte con el que espero aportar en España al Movimiento de sankirtan de Lord Caitanya.

Hello, dear Guru Maharaja, reporting here,

HpS/ASA - Jaya!! AgtSP. Paoho.

I returned very happily from a pious little town in Murcia. I stayed with a devoted friend of Prabhu Karuna. She often comes to NVM as a volunteer.

She separated from her husband and hasn't recovered.

It's common to encounter depressed people.

Many people turn to Krishna out of fear of poverty, affliction, etc. That's why I wanted to know your recommendations,

how we can help these people,

how they can overcome these dualities.

Most of us suffer from material conditioning. Everyone wants something, needs something, some are crazier than others, frustrated. All of this causes them to neglect their spiritual practices, diminishes their faith, and many fall into inaction.

I'm sending you some photos as a report of my service at NVM. And some from the event.

Very few people,

there was a lack of effective publicity,

and some thought I was coming from India.

Remembering His spirit, I thought that even if there were only one person, I would make the same effort as if there were 100. It was a wonderful experience.

Thanks to your blessings and Krishna's blessing, although we are at zero, without a plan in place, I hope to soon have a report with you with which I hope to contribute to Lord Caitanya's sankirtan movement in Spain.

Your humble servant,

Yugala Kisora ​​Dasi (The White Lion of Brihuega)

HpS - AgtSP. We cannot say much about depression. I guess the best Sanskrit word is Shoka. Lamentation. That is described as Arjuna's state at the start of the Bhagavad Gita, through out the Gita, and in the end Krsna says, surrender unto me and you will not Shocati. Lament.

Brahma bhuta prsanatma...

I see, many times, my mind is falling into lamentation, because my stomach is upset. Of course, it could also be our even lower chakra.

Then, if I give my stomach some Prasadam, it is "happy".

Not enough rest.

Checking with our face to see if it is "smiling, happy" or "frowning, depressed".

Just a bodily reaction. Of course a spouse can be viewed as a complex physical, psycho-social machine for complex bodily gratification.

Hare Krsna!!!

HARE KRSNA!!!!!!!

If we want to lament, develop complicated systems of lamentation:

• He said this. They said that.
• He doesn't understand me.
• I am a monster.
• No one can love me.
• I will smoke opium, tobacco, marijuana... shoe-polish and die. Sleep.

Then Krsna can't do much to stop us. We want enjoy elation, we want to enjoy depression.

Yet, Krsna is more kind than just, so even if we want to be depressed, then He still tries to tickle our funny bone...

Make us laugh.

Send a friend.

Send some courage.

You don't have to chose to be a victim.

Look at any depressing situation with a service attitude and then you can develop enthusiasm.

Eg. My boss is a moron, neurotic. Always verbally abusing me and others.

How can I help him?

What abuse is really deserved and good for me!

What abuse is just part of his insane view of reality based upon his childhood.

How can I listen to what he is saying and help him with his problem?

At least a little bit, today!

If we help from a Krsna conscious platform (BG 700 verses [Just see what a sunny day it it]) SB 18,000 verses... Devahuti's Laments, then every little bit of help will eternally build up.

Not all lamentation is material.

Radha and Her friends are drowning in the ocean of grief because Candravali and Her friends made better cookies for Krsna and the cow herd boys!

Ayi de mi, caramaba. Boo Hoo Hoo! 🐶 😿

(15 year, 8 year old little girls!)

Prahlada is lamenting for all the imbeciles caught in the material world.

Lament for our fall-downs but just for purification. Don't make a mountain out of it. Do something practical to get back up.

So, these are some thoughts.

• Listen to the lamentation. 🙉
• Give Krsna practical conscious comments, encouragement. 👷
• Set a good example. ➡

O.K.???

HpS/ASA - This is never disturbing news! 😆

Who took the sets of CCs?

Will they read them?

Have they got reading partners?

We announcing on our WhatsApp Community that we are focusing on Atul K Das and the BOEX, Bhakti sarva bhauma Diploma, CC and previous books.

Bhakti ananda hari das Swami, Sadhu bhusana, Vana mali Das et al should take the examination, no?

Hare Krishna Beloved Gurudeva,

Please accept our humble obeisances,

All Glories to Srila Prabhupada,

Dear Gurudeva,

I wanted to share some reflections with you and express my growing realization of the importance and value of preaching on an academic level.

Although I don’t yet find the intelligence or motivation to fully immerse myself in this field—perhaps due to my frustration witnessing the poor intellectual standards at the university where I teach, or perhaps due to my own lack of sincerity—I am beginning to understand what you meant when you described this time as a “second Renaissance.”

I can see that science is starting to develop a kind of dogmatism or fanaticism, not unlike the way religion was viewed during the Middle Ages. The cases of Piero Anversa at Harvard and Marc Tessier-Lavigne at Stanford clearly illustrate that the times are changing, and the debate between science and spirituality is becoming increasingly significant.

It is within this context that I recognize the immense importance of ISKCON’s message and its academic outreach.

On a personal level, the project that inspires me and to which I would like to dedicate my life is the development of a Gurukula. I am including a link for you and the readers of the blog to review, hoping for your and their feedback. (https://drive.google.com/file/d/1SJh4CO5izMVZgfPCnqbENAP3pfbfTTtJ/view?usp=drive_link)

It is deeply inspiring to see what the devotees are accomplishing with Goswami Academy in Texas and Avanti Schools in England.

I hope one day to visit these and other similar projects to learn from their experiences. Whether this vision becomes a reality depends on Krishna’s mercy to send the right team and the right people to bring this dream to life.

Thank you for your inspiration and tenacity over all these years. Without a doubt, your instructions, unconditional love, and exemplary life provide the strength to keep moving forward. You give our existence a profound, transcendental purpose.

Eternally grateful,

Your aspiring disciple,

Nikunja Bihari das.

HpS - It, the Sun, is at 9.16PM. It has taken us long time to get to this wonderful letter. We will note to look at the above link tomorrow.

In the attached picture we notice that Krsna or Balarama are not looking at the lesson, they are looking at the teacher!!!

Guru kula!

Hare Krishna, Amado Gurudeva,

Por favor, acepte nuestras humildes reverencias.

Todas las glorias a Srila Prabhupada.

Querido Gurudeva,

Quería compartir algunas reflexiones con usted y expresarle mi creciente comprensión de la importancia y el valor de la prédica a nivel académico. Aunque todavía no encuentro la inteligencia o la motivación para sumergirme completamente en este campo (quizás debido a mi frustración al presenciar los bajos estándares intelectuales en la universidad donde enseño, o quizás debido a mi propia falta de sinceridad), estoy empezando a entender lo que quiso decir cuando describió esta época como un “segundo Renacimiento”.

Puedo ver que la ciencia está empezando a desarrollar una especie de dogmatismo o fanatismo, no muy diferente de la forma en que se veía a la religión durante la Edad Media. Los casos de Piero Anversa en Harvard y Marc Tessier-Lavigne en Stanford ilustran claramente que los tiempos están cambiando y el debate entre ciencia y espiritualidad está adquiriendo cada vez mayor importancia. Es en este contexto que reconozco la inmensa importancia del mensaje de ISKCON y su alcance académico.

A nivel personal, el proyecto que me inspira y al que me gustaría dedicar mi vida es el desarrollo de un Gurukula. Incluyo un enlace para que tú y los lectores del blog lo revisen, esperando recibir tu opinión y la de ellos. (https://drive.google.com/file/d/1SJh4CO5izMVZgfPCnqbENAP3pfbfTTtJ/view?usp=drive_link)Es profundamente inspirador ver lo que los devotos están logrando con la Academia Goswami en Texas y las Escuelas Avanti en Inglaterra. Espero algún día visitar estos y otros proyectos similares para aprender de sus experiencias. Que esta visión se haga realidad depende de la misericordia de Krishna para enviar el equipo y las personas adecuadas para hacer realidad este sueño.

Gracias por tu inspiración y tenacidad durante todos estos años. Sin duda, tus instrucciones, tu amor incondicional y tu vida ejemplar brindan la fuerza para seguir adelante. Le das a nuestra existencia un propósito profundo y trascendental.

Eternamente agradecido,

Su aspirante a discípulo,

Nikunja Bihari das.

Phil Ochs sings extremely well live.

I remember when you introduced me to him in Peru.

He's quite critical of the society he lived in.

PMD.

HpS/ASA - AgtSP. His songs are very inspirational to us. Others also resonate with him. He is still alive.

That is a service for Goswamis, s(he)it, to travel to different residences and report back to the GBC where new Temples can be opened.

So, 🐒, in the current age that means traveling to different IP addresses, Blogs... and learning their language, acharyas, and taking gold from them, and washing of the poison, and giving them the Bengali Buddha, The Golden Buddha.

We think Srila Prabhupada would be very happy to meet him.
