AGTSP

All Glories to you Gurú Dev

After so long without writing to the blog, a summary of my life news .

hps/asa - jaya!!! agtsp. hare KRSNA.

The family is doing well with the daily challenges of living together and lovingly managing the relationship between our souls and our egos.

In recent years, I've had more severe problems in my body affecting my metabolism: fatty liver, inflammation, weight gain, etc.

ASA - Krsna keep you very conscious that this is not your home.

At the beginning of this year, after going to three hospitals that gave the wrong diagnosis, I underwent surgery for peritonitis, and they removed my appendix and part of my intestine, as it had suffered necrosis (dead tissue). I felt it was a warning that led me to reflect on many things. We are now recovering.

We regularly connect with your classes and follow the AnveSaka WhatsApp news group.

HpS/ASA - Thank you for letting us know.

Srinivasa Das, Micron, did, does, a lot of the work to set it up. we might have done it a little different, but we are learning that we can only perfect a very small area in life.

so much thanks to him.

pradhlada nrsmah Das. so many others!!

As for my sadhana, we follow the four principles and are in the process of improving my chanting of the 16 rounds.

I'm neither satisfied nor happy with this problem in my fluctuating chanting of the 16 rounds.

Without making excuses, I feel that several things have affected my sadhana.

I'm also experiencing moments of great loneliness, and it's not due to my actitudes of social isolation or closing myself to other people; it's something that happens, and I'm trying to understand the reasons.

HpS - We have something similar. In some respects we see that it is because we have not had lunch 🐵 😆 😆 😆

Our stomach or body is in distress and then that influences our mind.

Going for Mangala arati is great chance to work on this.

Other thing is ontological and we feel it happens because all of us only have one husband, friend, lover... KRSNA!

... and we will always feel lonely unless we are with Him.

What do you think?

I also feel that I'm not sharing projects that connect me with others on a daily basis.

HpS - We feel the same. Yet, then we have the morning sadhana. Now getting fixed in 16-rounds BEFORE mangala arati. and we can see that we are trying and accomplishing such projects to some reasonable degree.

For us, one project is our art. Sketching and publishing.

thank you Guru Dev for your example and for engage us in service, What ever we can help or do for Sankirtanesvara Please let us know.

We continue living in the tower under construction with Hari Vamsi and Vrsabhanu Nandini and also teaching photography and film classes at the school Hari Vamsi attends

Hari Vamsi, now he have nine years old, continues attending Waldorf school.

His interest in photography is awakening. He wants to send you some photos he took especially for you. I'm attaching them here.

HpS - Jaya! We feel that we do not need to sophisticate camera, no? Rather a camera that we can use easily. carry easily and then share the results easily. then there are a lot of things in our world, everyone's world, goloka world, that need... need... to be shared if we are going to create naba dvipa in this world.

Todas las Glorias a Srila Prabhupada!!

Hare Krishna Guru Maharaja, por favor reciba mis respetuosas reverencias, espero que se encuentre bien de salud.

Sigo por acá en Huancayo, bueno por lo pronto, no se que sucederá más adelante, a veces hago planes y se manifiestan otras cosas.

Ahora nuevamente estoy saliendo casi todos los días a Sankirtan con los libros de Srila Prabhupada, también predico con algo de Jyotish y también apoyo los programas en el centro de predica de Madre Laksmirani. ¿Que pasará más adelante? parece ser que el transcurso de mi vida es incierto.

Bueno ésta carta es bien corta, me despido Guru Maharaja, que Nrsimha lo cuide y proteja siempre.

Hare Krishna.

All glories to Srila Prabhupada!!

Hare Krishna, Guru Maharaja, please accept my respectful obeisances. I hope you are in good health.

HpS - For a 77 year old former Hippy body that has been 78% fixed in ISKCON yoga for over 50 years, we are normal! Still can make some small contribution.

I'm still here in Huancayo, well for now. I don't know what will happen next. Sometimes I make plans and other things manifest.

HpS/ASA - 🐒

👍

👍

👍

Now I'm going out again almost every day for Sankirtan with Srila Prabhupada's books.

ASA - Super!

I also preach with some Jyotish and I also support the programs at Mother Laksmirani's preaching center. What will happen next? It seems the course of my life is uncertain.

HpS - ASA - It is Kali yuga. Even Krsna has to adjust!!

Well, this letter is very short. I say goodbye, Guru Maharaja. May Nrsimha always take care of you and protect you.

Hare Krishna.

Gadai Gauranga Das

HpS - Thank you!!! Please send some stories of people you meet. Seems better than focusing on book distribution, is to focus on making people book distributors. of course the two are completely connected.

try to get people to take five or six copies of the same books for their contacts!

we have so much to offer the world.

Hare Krsna, Dandavat Pranam.

HpS Guru Maharaj.

Please accept my humble obeisance unto Your Padmacharan that I am reading CC Madhya 8.138. In this sloka purport mentioned Kama-gayatri "klim kamadevaya vidmahe puspa-banaya dhimahi tan no 'nanhgah pracodayat" When we may sung this mantra?

Your fallen servant,

Yamunesvara Das.

HpS - You, agtSP, took second initiation from us, no???

Then you do it during the sandhyas, dawn, noon, dusk with your thread/knot and meditation. Jaya!

Hare Krsna Gurudeva

AGtSP

Please accept my selfish obeisances.

I know you might be now communicating in astral world.

ASA/PhD - AgtSP! paoho... SB 2.8.20 gives nice definition of 'astral' body!!!! Also, vedabase.io gives nice search result. SP seems to feel that it is a little marginal to Bhakti Siddhanta but practically useful!

As a Guru you have poured us with words, which if we realize we will be Paramahansa.

Some of your statement which we remember / ruminate upon

1. If we keep the bed sheet improperly, we are disturbing visva-rupa.

2. If we eat some thing nasty, then Visva-Rupa feels that nastiness.

We read in Srila Prabhupada books , model of passion makes us think we are different.

We know the story of Krsna eating a morsel of rice and all disciples of Durvasa Muni were satisfied.

On the other hand there is concept of Hriskesa where he control our senses

Then there is concept of watering the root, where we satisfy lord , and then all other living entity will be satisfied.

Now we are speculating the oneness and difference of the knowledge acquiring senses, working senses, between different living entities.

How can my sensation of my senses be different from other people that is well know fact, but how can it be one.

like when all are in temple, we experience less material pangs, that give us the sight of oneness.

we are speculating on materially differences of sensation of senses also reduces when we are close to Krsna.

however then there comes a question of free will, not every body is connected to Krsna.

like again we are thinking how come only disciples of Durvasa Muni were only satisfied by Krsna eating.

were they all above material differences, or it was Krsna who took them beyond material plane for a moment.

we satisfy lord , and then all other living entity will be satisfied.-- how this practically works in satisfying different needs of senses.

its difficult to understand Guru tattva, but the way your mind and words manifest, it does seem to us you are supersoul-without for us

HpS/ASA - Your letter to us is very stimulating. We don't understand all that you are speculating. That's O.K.

It is declared to be in-con-CIEVE-able.

Look up the etymology for CIEVE. I bet it has to do with organic process of birth. Womb even.

Con CEPT. con CEPT TION.

so no one, not even KRSNA can always understand what is going on in a logical sense. but we can always make a positive contribution to the situation.

Krsna, Krsna's Devotee and Devotional service [?} KRSNA, RADHA, PURNAMASI?? all come together and dance and no one can quite understand whose in charge.

Krsna understands the Gopis {hladini shakti} then they come up with some fun madness, that even surprises them!! what to speak of KRSNA.

Yet, then His cit shakti, figures it out.

So always a competition between cit shakti and ananda shakti.

but in spiritual consciousness it is integrating not separating.

Being one apple on the tree we know that when we are getting good sap, the rest of the apples are also.

have a nice idea and suddenly others in the situation get the same idea.

some ideas are in our portion of the virata rupa and other ideas are common to the whole or selected subsets of the viratarupa.

what is my position in this orchestra!

what can i do to improve things.

look at the result i am having on the Big Picture.

in western theater training, gandharva veda, it is called 'ensemble learning'.

thank you.

Sunday 12.49PM. Little hot.

Little fat.

All rounds done before Mangala arati.

Upendra Das' class, then crash!

Sunday Festival prep.

Hare Krishna Srila Gurudeva

On this most auspicious day of Guru Purnima, please accept my sincere and humble obeisances at your lotus feet 🙏🙇‍♂️

hps - in our siddha deha we must all have lotus feet, no?

All glories to Srila Prabhupada and All glories to you Gurudeva!!

My beloved Gurudeva, Without your mercy, I would remain lost in this material world, endlessly entangled in illusion and forgetfulness of Supreme Lord Krishna.

You have selflessly dedicated your life to spreading the teachings of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu and Srila Prabhupada, and through your association, I am learning what it truly means to be a servant of the servant of the Lord.

HpS - We have squeaked the Holy Name every now and then like a little selfish greedy, stupid mouse but Srila Prabhupada has kept pulling us along and using us to speak things.

You have patiently guided me, corrected me, and encouraged me, always seeing beyond my faults and helping me strive toward the ultimate goal of life-pure devotional service to Lord Krishna.

On this most auspicious day, I humbly beg you to continue to shower your causeless mercy upon this fallen soul. Please allow me to serve you more sincerely, follow your instructions more faithfully, and deepen my attachment to the holy names and devotional service.

Please forgive my offenses, my laziness, and my forgetfulness. 

I pray for the strength to become a disciple that pleases you and serves your mission.

Thank you very much for everything, Gurudeva. I am eternally indebted to you.

Your tiny servant,

RamaKrishnananda Das

ISKCON of Richmond.

HpS - We can only hope that you continue your journey inward to make your perfection, brahminical japa, more deep!!!! We hope you become an Acharya like Srila Prabhupada.

Let us always be with him, here, Nabadvipa...

Nuestro querido Maestro Espiritual, por favor acepte reiteradas reverencias.

Cómo se encuentra? Cómo se siente con los nuevos audífonos?

Muchas gracias por ocuparnos en Servicio a través de Dhaksine. Cómo estuvo su viaje? RY?

Hace unos días he leído un post de Prabhu Narahari sobre Guru Purnima, lo cual me hizo reflexionar en SP, en todo lo que nos otorga y en usted; en su magnánima compasión. Y ésto ha coincidido con decenas de cartas suyas impresas que tenía guardadas y olvidadas en casa de padres (correos electrónicos de usted entre el año 2002 y 2007) Volver a leer sus mensajes después de tantos años, ha removido mi conciencia. Me avergüenza enormemente haber escrito tanta banalidad e infortunios constantes, a los cuales usted respondía con extrema compasión y dulzura.

La realidad es que tenemos una vida afortunada gracias a la misericordia de SP y a usted. Una vez más gracias por tanto cariño, bondad y paciencia.

(disculpar mi sentimentalismo)

Su misericordia ha sido ilimitada.

Espero esta vez tratar de complacerlo en un algún momento.

Mi hija le envía un dibujo: dice que a usted le gustan los monos.

Feliz Guru Purnima amado Gurudev, gracias por volver a recibir a ésta Nigredo discípula.

Un gran abrazo 🐘 espiritual.

Vanca Kalpa Radhe Radhe Guruji 🍀

Translate.Goggle.com: Our dear Spiritual Master, please accept our repeated obeisances.

How are you? How do you feel with the new hearing aids?

HpS - Our health is like yours will be at 77 Reformed American Hippy years old.

Hearing like a fish in a fish tank. Is a great mechanical help!!!!!!

Thank you very much for engaging us in Service through Dhaksine. How was your trip? RY?

HpS - We posted in anveSaka group, no?

Also, here?

it was very VERY V E R Y intense and productive. 90% well organized.

see greatest potential for preaching in Boise, Idaho.

need regular rafting, boating trips.

A few days ago, I read a post by Prabhu Narahari about Guru Purnima, which made me reflect on SP, on all that he bestows upon us, and on you; on your magnanimous compassion. This coincided with dozens of printed letters from you that I had saved and forgotten at my parents' house (emails from you between 2002 and 2007). Rereading your messages after so many years has stirred my conscience. I am deeply ashamed of having written so much banality and constant misfortune, to which you responded with extreme compassion and sweetness.

The truth is that we have a fortunate life thanks to SP's mercy and to you. Thank you once again for so much love, kindness, and patience.

(Forgive my sentimentality)

Your mercy has been boundless.

I hope to try to please you sometime this time.

My daughter sent you a drawing: it says you like monkeys.

Happy Guru Purnima, beloved Gurudev, thank you for welcoming this Nigredo disciple back.

A big spiritual hug.

HpS/ASA - Did you ever, get to India????

Can you please explain the picture?

It looks like a passenger balloon to Africa in 1873.

I think that we have some compassion, because we have the mercy of so many devotees who have dedicate their lives to Srila Prabhupada and his personal and institutional ISKCON!!!
