Searching for scriptural references about three topics

Dear Guru Maharaja, please accept my obeisances 🙏

All glories to A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Srila Prabhupada! 🌷


🌱

Hare Krishna 🌸


I’m searching for three scriptural 📜

references, specifically the verse(s) itself, not the commentary.


  • That the living entity is always a person, i.e. in any possible situation never loses the individual identity
  • A constrain to this search is to be apart from BG slokas 2.12 and 18.61 and Upaniṣadic nityo nityanas cetanas cetananam, 

HpS - What about, "nitya siddha krsna prema sadhya kabu naya..". Cited in NoI.


  • That jiva was in paravyoma with Krsna and left it, the spiritual world and Krsna's association there, by his/her/its own volition,

HpS - I cannot think of any specific verses, although the same verse above says that, no? I think we collected some citations on the topic of "Origin of the Jiva" and posted them in our ASA Encyclopedia: https://www.jayarama.us/archives/asa-e.docx


  • And a verse that says that when saying something, that statement should be backed by sastra.

HpS - We can remember many purports where Srila Prabhupada notes this idea. What about the verses in SB 1.2?


I am aware of purports by Srila Prabhupada stating that(those) point(s). But, as I said, I am looking for a verse(s).


Not at all to minimise what Srila Prabhupada is saying, just would be nice to have a direct sastric reference. Because BG 17.15 purport "The process of speaking in spiritual circles is to say something upheld by the scriptures. One should at once quote from scriptural authority to back up what he is saying."


HpS - I was thinking of the same thing. Also, maybe in the conversation of Lord Caitanya with Sarva bhauma and Praksananda Sarasvati.


One reason why I search for these is that I can remember or find references for, according to myself, principal activities and topics for and about practicing Krsna bhakti. For example, the power of a holy name, the significance of proper association (and proper dissociation), diet, sastra, etc. 

However, for the mentioned three topics I am not sure where they can be located.


It, the solid truth of religious principles, could be found in the heart of a mahājanas/big persons/self-realized predecessors. Yet, my understanding is, these mahājanas give statements supported by sastra. And, whatever someone says should be substantiated by sastra. As shown above BG 17.15 purport "One should at once quote from scriptural authority to back up what he is saying."


I hope the inquiry is clear.


Please, if it is OK with you, and you think I can understand, share about this matter(s).


Thank you very much.


Your servant Namacarya Das


HpS - Please report and results!



Experiencias Mentales

7 months, 3 weeks ago by Asta Sakhi Devi Dasi in Personal Sadhana Reports


Querido Gurumaharaja

Por favor acepte nuestras respetuosas reverencias.

Todas las glorias a Srila Prabhupada! 

Todas las glorias a Usted que fielmente sirve a nuestro Fundador Acarya. 

Muchas gracias por su sagrada asociación y ejemplo cada día de nuestras vidas. Que el Señor Nrisimhadeva lo proteja. 

El mes de mayo será la aparición del Señor Nrisimhadeva y Kapi dvaja terminará un ciclo periódico, queremos agradecerle por los años brindados y decirle que nos parece bien que sea más espontáneo, ha cumplido un buen ciclo, ahora Hanuman express dispatch volará de forma distinta, su editor es un escritor nato, por tanto suponemos que continuará aterrizando cuando menos lo esperemos, estaremos atentos; recordamos cuando llegaba a Chosica mandir, estaba impreso con un encabezado de una lista corta de discípulos encabezados por Sriman Raktak das. Muchas gracias Gurumaharaja. 

Respecto a sus viajes nos parece bien su desicion de no tener viajes cortos muy frecuentes, pensamos que esto mantiene su energía más estable y todos somos beneficiados con más asociación virtual en todos sus programas. 


Usted compartió algunas experiencias sublimes en Conciencia de Krsna, incluso con el Señor Jesucristo a través del blog y la clase del sábado, estamos agradecidos y anhelamos más artículos de estás experiencias por favor. 

Su servidora únicamente divaga en experiencias mentales pero aún así humildemente deseo compartirlo, estuve pensando que soy mal agradecida porque uno debe dar gracias por la misericordia recibida de algún modo. 

Mientras vivíamos en el ashrama, un discipulo estuvo con usted en Vrndavan, nos mostraba sus fotos de diferentes lugares sagrados, había una foto donde UD veía el Upadesamrita en el Radhakunda, nos dijeron que trataba de ubicar desde que ángulo fue tomada la foto que aparece en la contra tapa del libro, parecía muy animado tratando de encontrar, me quedé meditando en ello todo el día, ojalá yo estuviera ahí para asistir a mi Gurumaharaja, talves sumaría una pequeña ayuda. 

Esa noche tuve un sueño, era como haber ingresado a tal acontecimiento , UD iba adelante con varios devotos de dhoti y yo caminaba detrás, habíamos llegado al Radhakunda! veía tantos detalles que nunca ví por fotos porque en ese tiempo no había la tecnología de hoy, inmediatamente UD ofreció dandavat junto con los demás devotos, yo me apresuré a hacerlo también pero tenía un dilema, las madres en ISKCON no ofrecen dandavat con el cuerpo extendido, pero pensaba ¡Es Radhakunda debo ofrecer dandavat! Sin pensar más me postre en esa posición con pleno respeto y rendición, de inmediato pude ver otra dimensión, una suave y tersa ola del Radhakunda tomó forma y delicadamente se dirigió a nosotros bañándonos meticulosamente desde la cabeza, pude sentir claramente esa Sagrada agua, inmediatamente fui liberada de toda designación material, me experimente como un ser espiritual, ya no era madre ni devoto con dhoti, totalmente liberada de esa designación pude experimentar una dimensión indescriptible. 

En el 2002 geográficamente pude llegar por su misericordia, UD nos llevó y los detalles del Radhakunda eran tal cual, ahí estábamos como usted y fue tan increíble! tomó un poco de agua con las manos y se rocío en su cabeza, yo continúe visitando varias veces, en ocasiones sola, pero muy ambiciosa, con una lota sacaba mucha agua y me empapaba de esa sagrada agua del Radhakunda cuanto podía, quería aprovechar esa visita. 

UD nos abrió las puertas de Vrndavan, muchas gracias! ahora es cuestión de purificación para poder ver el Radhakunda espiritual y porsupuesto nuestra posición eterna de sirvientes, Gurumaharaja en Nadia espiritual como es la experiencia con el Radhakunda?

Porsupuesto fue únicamente un sueño, pero muy intenso, justamente había llegado SS. Kavicandra Swami a Chosica y decidí contarle, él dijo yo no sé de sueños pero puedo decirte que debes tomarlo como la más grande misericordia. Gurumaharaja esa misericordia me la dió usted porque mis experiencias mentales por propio esfuerzo son únicamente materiales y llenos de sufrimiento, es el maestro espiritual quien muestra el Dham incluso en sueños al discipulo, es el motivo de mi doble agradecimiento. 


Hace poco UD respondió una carta que dice que siempre debemos tratar de avanzar incluso en el estado liberado, mi pregunta es: el plano brahma bhuta para un devoto puro en que etapa avanza se transforma?


Tengo otra pregunta, aunque el devoto puro no debe aspirar los 5 tipos de liberación, si es por servicio él puede llegar al planeta espiritual del Señor Caitanya, en términos técnicos, alguien puede alcanzar la forma del Señor Caitanya? (sarupya), las Escrituras señalan la forma de 4 brazos pero Sri Caitanya no es conocido por tener 4 brazos a excepción de su forma de Sad bhuja, me gustaría entender un poco más por favor. 


Para terminar mi larga carta (pido disculpas por el abuso) quiero solicitar si se puede agregar a la lista de discípulos de Guru-tattva la fecha de mi segunda iniciación por favor. 

30 de Agosto de 1998 (Radhastami) 

Continuamos cantando 16 rondas y Gayatri, 4 principios regulativos sin problemas y participamos como pujaris. 


Usted solicitó hace un tiempo editar cualquier arreglo, pensé que no era necesario en mi caso, disculpe por favor, este año ví que a veces algunos devotos no preguntan o investigan sino más bien proporcionan información de acuerdo a su propia y caprichosa imaginación.

También recordamos que un devoto pujari nos contó que tuvo que recibir el Gayatri por segunda vez porque no había evidencia de su ceremonia con Śrīla Prabhupāda. 


Adjuntamos foto de Srimati Radharani en invierno con el suéter verde que sorprendentemente logramos tejer. 


Le agradezco su misericordiosa atención. 

Por favor perdone nuestras ofensas. 



Vuestra eterna aspirante a sirviente

Dear Gurumaharaja

Please accept our respectful bows.

All glories to Srila Prabhupada!

All glories to You who faithfully serve our Founder Acarya.


HpS - We 99.9999...% selfish, but Srila Prabhupada does not give up on us!!!!!


Thank you very much for your sacred partnership and example every day of our lives. May Lord Nrisimhadeva protect you.


HpS = He is very very beautiful. I think He wants to participate in this movement more and more.


The month of May will be the appearance of Lord Nrisimhadeva and Kapi dvaja will end a periodic cycle, we want to thank him for the years given and tell him that we think it is good that he is more spontaneous, he has completed a good cycle, now Hanuman express dispatch will fly in a different way, Its editor is a born writer, so we assume that it will continue to land when we least expect it, we will be attentive; We remember when it came to Chosica mandir, it was printed with a heading of a short list of disciples headed by Sriman Raktak das. Thank you very much Gurumaharaja.


Regarding their trips, we think their decision to not have very frequent short trips is good, we think that this keeps their energy more stable and we all benefit from more virtual association in all their programs.


You shared some sublime experiences in Krishna Consciousness, including with the Lord Jesus Christ through the blog and the Saturday class, we are grateful and look forward to more articles about these experiences please.


Your servant only rambles on in mental experiences but I still humbly wish to share it. I was thinking that I am ungrateful because one must give thanks for the mercy received in some way.


While we lived in the ashrama, a disciple was with you in Vrndavan, he showed us his photos of different sacred places, there was a photo where you saw the Upadesamrita in the Radhakunda, they told us that he was trying to locate from what angle the photo that appears was taken. on the back cover of the book, he seemed very excited trying to find it, I kept meditating on it all day, I wish I were there to assist my Gurumaharaja, maybe it would add a little help.


HpS - Yes, it was like the stones on the edge of Radha kunda had been changed. It was not very possible!



That night I had a dream, it was like having entered such an event, you were ahead with several dhoti devotees and I was walking behind, we had arrived at Radhakunda! I saw so many details that I never saw in photos because at that time there was not today's technology, immediately you offered dandavat along with the other devotees, I rushed to do it too but I had a dilemma, mothers in ISKCON do not offer dandavat with the body extended, but I thought It's Radhakunda I must offer dandavat! Without thinking further I prostrated myself in that position with full respect and surrender, immediately I could see another dimension, a soft and smooth wave of the Radhakunda took shape and delicately addressed us, bathing us meticulously from the head, I could clearly feel that Sacred water, immediately I was freed from all material designation, I experienced myself as a spiritual being, I was no longer a mother or a devotee with dhoti, totally freed from that designation I was able to experience an indescribable dimension.


HpS - All glories to the wonderful land of Vrndavan!!! Filled with the songs of Krsna and Balarama. Come along! Come along!!


In 2002 geographically I was able to arrive by your mercy, you took us and the details of the Radhakunda were just as they were, there we were like you and it was so incredible! She took a little water with her hands and sprinkled it on her head. I continued visiting several times, sometimes alone, but very ambitious. I used a burbot to draw a lot of water and soaked in that sacred water of Radhakunda as much as I could. I wanted to take advantage of that. visit.


You opened the doors of Vrndavan to us, thank you very much! Now it is a matter of purification to be able to see the spiritual Radhakunda and of course our eternal position as servants, Gurumaharaja in spiritual Nadia. How is the experience with the Radhakunda?


HpS - I don't know. Even Narada Muni cannot really go there, yet, but we can see it from some distance, maybe like parrots flying over.

By mercy of Lord Caitanya wonderful things are possible.



Of course it was just a dream, but a very intense one, SS had just arrived. Kavicandra Swami to Chosica and I decided to tell him, he said I don't know about dreams but I can tell you that you should take it as the greatest mercy. Gurumaharaja gave me that mercy because my mental experiences through my own efforts are only material and full of suffering, it is the spiritual master who shows the Dham even in dreams to the disciple, it is the reason for my double gratitude.

Recently you responded to a letter that says that we should always try to advance even in the liberated state, my question is: the brahma bhuta plane for a pure devotee is transformed into what stage does he advance?


HpS - We become Goswamis. Is just the same if you have a female persona now. Men take formal Sannyasa but ladies, children all must become Brahmanas (there is a reality. The Dieties are spiritual); then Goswamis (We feel inspiration for details of our service from the Deities. Reality has form!); Pure devotees (Krsna and Radha and.... start to personally involve us in the immediate spiritual reality)


I have another question, although the pure devotee should not aspire for the 5 types of liberation, if by service he can reach the spiritual planet of Lord Caitanya, in technical terms, can anyone achieve the form of Lord Caitanya? (sarupya), the scriptures indicate the 4-armed form but Sri Caitanya is not known to have 4 arms except for his Sad bhuja form, I would like to understand a little more please.


HpS - Little bit complicated question. I would think that taking birth in Nadiya in our next lifetime even as a dog who can join Nimai with other dogs in the Sankirtan is Svarupaya. Of course if are boys and girls like Lord Caitanya playing with Him and the Nitya siddhas while we are growing up, then that is maybe even more Svarupya mukti.


To finish my long letter (I apologize for the abuse) I would like to request if the date of my second initiation can be added to the list of Guru-tattva disciples please.


August 30, 1998 (Radhastami)


ASA - Tom Brown made a note to add it. He is very honored, but he is a Monkey, so if the change is not made by time of next KDh, then please do not hesitate to ask again!


We continued chanting 16 rounds and Gayatri, 4 regulative principles smoothly and participated as pujaris.


You requested a while ago to edit any arrangement, I thought it was not necessary in my case, please excuse me, this year I saw that sometimes some devotees do not ask or investigate but rather provide information according to their own capricious imagination.


We also remember that a pujari devotee told us that he had to receive the Gayatri a second time because there was no evidence of his ceremony with Śrīla Prabhupāda.


We attach a photo of Srimati Radharani in winter with the green sweater that we surprisingly managed to knit.


I thank you for your merciful attention.


Please forgive our offenses.

Your eternal aspiring servant

HpS/ASA - Thank you!!! Thanks to Manasa ranjana Das! Everyone!

Gurudeva please help me!

Hare Krsna Gurudeva

My respected Gurudeva, please accept my most humble and respectful obeisances.

All glories to Srila Prabhupada!

¡Om namo Bhagavate Narasimhaya!


I always wish you the best for your health.


HpS/ASA - Ha! Ha! Hare!... Then, agtSP, you wish me dead!


 

Maybe what I'm writing is crazy, but it's what I'm discovering in myself. Gurudeva please help me!

 

Now my mind is eclipsing my vision of material life and in this mind I am seeing the cause of my reality and this seems to be far from material logic.

 

Thus, as there is the material and the spiritual world, there is the conscious and the unconscious, the internal and external world of each individual.

 

The unconscious is more powerful (Jung), it generates the conscious and the spiritual world generates the material existence (energies of the Supreme Lord) and it is there, in the spiritual world where the existence of the soul is.

 

Thus, there is the best childless grandfather (Bhisma); the best father can be absent (Vyasadeva, Arjuna)

 

Because? Truly, their absence was material; they weaved the best inheritance for their descendants, their unconscious. Bg 2.69.


HpS - Prabhupada and Jung did not like the word "unconscious". They both commented that it could become conscious world as we wake up. They liked Subconscious.


 

They really do their duty, but they do it from the true position as spiritual subjects, they act from the unconscious, they build it to raise their vibration each time and be able to return to Krsna and be an example of how to return.

 

The unconscious of parents and ancestors is inherited by the offspring. The virtues and defects, those are the true ones, what we are we give as an inheritance, to the universe, to our world, to the community, to our children.


It is there where the Maha Mantra, Hare Krsna, acts, from the cause, it takes us to the original cause (The Supreme Lord KRSNA) by Krsna consciousness; Jaya Gurudeva, All Glories to Srila Prabhupada.

 

Jaya śrī-kṛṣṇa-caitanya… Who tells us: ceto-darpana-marjanam……


Thank you very much for your attention Gurudeva, your time and mercy.

His disciple

Rohini dd


HpS - Of course, the Maha-mantra can just act to let us take birth in Indra loka in our next life, with some higher Bhava, consciousness, or it can take us to Brahmaloka, Vaikunta, Ayodhya, Dvaraka, Goloka, Rasa lila.


Gross people only see Bhumandala. external causes for things. They try by Science to understand everything... but behind that it Bhuvar, where the Fairys, Gandharvas, Kinnaras, Apsaras act.

Like you are saying.

At that level they don't just see the gross external laws of Gravity, Motion, Maxwell's equations, they see the laws of Karma relating to birth as a Princess or a Pauper....


Taking shelter of Srila Prabhupada and Nitai Nimai we can hopefully get the full power of the Mantra.

Would you like to take birth in Nabadvipa with all the pastimes of the CC, with Srila Prabhupada, in your next lifetime???

Asking for your guide, Gurudeva 🙏🏻

Hare Krishna, Gurudeva 🙏🏻 Please, accept my humble obeisances!

All glories to Srila Prabhupada! 🌷


Gurudeva, as I told you before, I am back again in matajis asrama of Chosica. I came back to my service of dressing the deities.


It is been more than two months since I returned from India. This trip was quite an experience for me, a learning experience in several aspects. Now that some time has passed, I am having memories especially of my stay in Vrndavana and I would like to return in the future, but in a different context...travel with friends or a close friend......and if you were there... the better!


I continue to strive to do a good sadhana and also to read Srila Prabhupada's books more, as you have recommended to me several times.


Gurudeva, lately I am feeling more the desire to preach......sometimes it makes me sad to see the temples almost empty.....and I also do not feel completely satisfied with just doing service to the Deities. Serving Deities is really nice, very purifying for me, but even so I feel that something is missing...

I think I also have to engage in some form of preaching to reach people. Actually this is very in line with my nature, because I really like contact with people, talking to them, making friends..


At the moment I am trying to preach to the people who come to the temple. But, I am still thinking about what preaching project I can get involved in... I was thinking about looking for places to put book tables, fairs or something like that..


Waiting for your comments, your merciful guide, Gurudeva...🙏🏻


Your aspiring servant:

Mitravinda dd.


HpS/ASA - Your, agtSP, consciousness is great. Just intensify things. No changes needed.

Just look for opportunities to meet people in your natural setting.

Join a Peruvian girls football team if that is your nature.

Be KRSNA conscious and associate with people.

Everything else will follow.


Interceding for Trinidad Bunster

7 months, 3 weeks ago by Carlos Rold in Other

Hare Krishna Gurudeva


Please accept my humble obeisances,

All glories to Srila Prabhupada!!


Gurudeva, I'm writing this letter to you because my heart is broken. On Sunday, March 31, a great friend of my daughter, Trinidad Bunster, 20 years old, the same age as my daughter, abruptly left the body. They had been friends since childhood and companions at school and in scouts. I always treated Trinidad like a daughter and she had a lot of association with me because she lived near us and the girls spent a lot of time together. She became a vegetarian by association with my daughter, she ate Prasadam many times, she always asked me things and took Srila Prabhupada's books.


It was in a car accident, there were two girls and two boys, the boy driving was drunk and speeding, they were probably all under the influence of alcohol. The crash was against a grove of trees at 1 am and Trinidad was ejected through the windshield and died instantly. The other girl, Agustina, finally left the body at 7 am.


Once Trinidad's mother called me on the phone to ask for guidance because the relationship between them was not good, the father was far away and apparently he had very little communication with his daughters, the mother also said "Trinidad told me that she would love to have a father like you are with your daughter.”


I want to ask you, please Gurudeva, to intercede for Trinidad to Sri Sri Radha Krishna and to Sri Krishna Chaitanya Mahaprabhu Gauranga Nityananda so that she becomes a devotee in her next life. I know that you can communicate directly with Srila Prabhupada, please Gurudeva, ask Srila Prabhupada for Trinidad so that she becomes a devotee in her next life, please Gurudeva, I pray to you, I beg you.


Gurudeva, I ask you to forgive me if this request is not appropriate or is not the properly way, if there is I don't know how it is, I just let myself be guided by my heart, and I know that I'm offensive by nature, but I'm rehabilitating myself, Gurudeva, thanks to your mercy and Srila Prabhupada.


I want to ask you some questions that I know are complex, but if you know anything about it according to the information we have in the Sacred Scriptures and in the teachings of Srila Prabhupada, in cases like that of Trinidad who left the body instantly and She wasn't a devotee but she is very favorable, ate prasadam many times, asked questions and took with her some Prabhupada's books; I know that the soul leaves the gross body and remains within the subtle body and continues on this world for some time and she is always with Paramatma; what could have happened to her soul at the time of leaving the body?, Have the Yamadutas come to look for her immediately or the Vishnudutas or perhaps some ancestor to assist her?, When approximately does the soul take new birth in cases like this?, What is the most important thing we should do and know in these situations?, How can I help her from where I'm now to where she is now?


Please Gurudeva, I apologize again if the way I ask you these questions is not appropriate, but my heart is broken, even knowing that we are not this body and that life is eternal, it hurts me a lot and It's hard to understand or assimilate, I want to be able to help Trinidad and maybe her family. On the day of the funeral I gave a Bhagavad Gita to her younger sister who is 18 years old, she accepted it moved and with great gratitude.


On Monday, and like every Monday, I had to make garlands for Sri Sri Gaura Nitay and Srila Prabhupada, I made them with a photo of Trinidad behind me and constantly asking to my Eternal Lord for that soul very dear to me. On the day of the funeral I told this to her mother and showed her the garlands in action decorating Sri Sri Gaura Nitay; I told to the father that Trinidad was like a daughter to me, he responded "I know."


Abhirama Thakur Das called me on Wednesday am to ask me something related to H.H. Bhakti Bhusana Swami and his visit to Sri Sri Gaura Nitay Santiago de Chile Mandir, and he told me that on the seventh day I can do a bounded and simple Sraddha ceremony that consists of offering a Prasadam to a photo of Trinidad and then putting that Prasadam in a bag and throwing it into the river or the sea.


Gurudeva, I'm sending to you a photo of Trinidad.


Soon I will send to you another letter regarding my personal process. Thank you very much for everything, Gurudeva, this year marked 10 years since I met you, the first time I saw you, on January 21, 2014 was when I did that interview with you for Mundo Nuevo Magazine at the Government Palace of Chile, into a special interviews room, with a lot of your disciples and wellwishers, the day I met also my dearest godbrother Rodrigo Hernández Piceros who made the video recording, we liked each other that same day. And the first impression I had about you after the interview was that you are the most intelligent and humble person I have ever met in my entire life. I had already interviewed very interesting and important people from Chile and even other countries. A few months earlier I produced a conversation/interview event at Centro Cultural de Las Condes with special and main guest Don Humberto Maturana, the important internationally recognized Chilean scientist and philosopher who at that same time was holding meetings with you and he was even a spectator and guest of honor at one of your conferences that you gave in the Centro Cultural Casa Pablo Neruda, I was also at that conference. And coming back to our first interview, after almost 3 hours of conversation you went to give your conference in the main auditorium of the Palace, a very big event with very important people in the audience; since then my life is no longer the same, you gave me an opportunity to understand God and serve Srila Prabhupada; today my greatest desire is to be your eternal servant, please Gurudeva, use me in your service.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cscq66Ec8qc&t=60s


Srila Prabhupada always said that this material world is a terrible place; everything he said and everything he did is the absolute truth for me.


Thank you very much Gurudeva, please accept my humble and respectful obeisances,

All glories to Srila Prabhupada!!!

All glories to H.H. Hanumatpresaka Swami!!!


Your aspiring servant,

Carlos from Iskcon Chile.


HpS/ASA - AgtSP. Paoho. Of course, Krsna is attentive to anyone who is trying to follow His devotee. You are trying to follow Srila Prabhupada, 16/4 etc.

So, the basic answer is that she has gone up

She was aware of the relationship that you had to her, the consciousness in that relationship, the Bhava,

Krsna is helping her.


Where is she?


Where is the car?

Same answer, so many details involved that would take time to find out.

Keep her picture where you can see it.

Chant some Japa for her.

If she is very close, she will experience it and it will help here even more.

Offer Mahaprasada to the picture.

Observe celebration on anniversary of her changing body.

Maybe you will have contact with her in dreams!

She has gone up and many opportunities and being presented to her.

Thank you.

Hare Krsna Beloved Gurudeva:

AGTSP, pamho


I promised to share pictures about my birthday.


My very dear Palika dd made my cake, very delicious with a lots of affection. My friend Lisset Graham who is university professor as well was amazed by the prasadam. She is very supportive and intelligent.


I am most of the time exhausted by my job, but I love to teach. I went to Siva ratri (Gita Asram) a really nice festival.


I have to confess that I was too overwhelmed the last 2 months that I missed to Ekadasis. I ate grains without thinking I was so sorry. For one I did the fast the next day but the other I missed it completely. But I did Papamcani EKadasi.


P Baladeva is visiting us. But honestly I doubt that he can do something to change the situation un Iskcon Perú. In the future maybe Iskcon Perú is going to be divided in two groups. Kurukshetra !!!!


I bought a new crown for my Radhika. We can use rings in order to use them as crowns for our deities


Today is eclipse. Time for introspection


Reciting mantras is very auspicioso. Specially Maha Mantra Hare Krsna


Thanks a bunch Gurudeva

See you in FMS

Trying to be your disciple
