Your disciple Srinath gave an excellent Srimad Bhagavatam class this morning about the prayers of Queen Kunti and the protection given by Lord Krishna to his devotees. 📚We can tell that he is being delivered by his guru maharaj , a regular chip off the old block.🤠  


ASA - Thank you for the news.

AgtSP, who is using sub-human messengers to save the whole world!

More.

Please post in the Blog.

SANKIRTAN RESULTS FOR HpS/TB/BW

Witch - 7

HpS et al - 3


4-regs but behind on some rounds.

Joined the ISV, Bh.Vai. workshop. Heard how Indra killed Vrtasura, but was actually the loser.

No one to walk with so walked along the river alone.

. . . it was spoooky. only a two guys and they were really big black dudes with tattoos. We tried to look beyond the effulgence of their bodies and minds and offer our service to their mental attitude and desires.


Took a long time to write a response to Mother Guru-govinda Dasi's super-letter. Because it is Kali-yuga is there greater opportunity for girls to become heroes that guys? Not like guys, but in the pursuit of their own Dharma.

One of the 3-1/2 most confidential servants of The Lord.


Then some other letters and the Radha Natabara Evening Program. We are reading the KRSNA book for five minutes during the program: Kamsa, Public Enemy Number One, has had insomnia and hallucinations. Is he our long lasting material attitude that is in fear of death now that Krsna and Balarama have appeared through the KRSNA book?


Good night. Good night. We gradually get a lot of little things done eg. Improving our Altar, regular laundry, getting letters of for book distribution.

Podcast (v2)

4 years, 9 months ago by jaynityananda in Sankirtana / Temple Activity Reports

Hare Krishna Gurudeva,

Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada.


In reply to the previous post about podcasts

https://monkeywarrior.com/detail/12537/


This letter was left unfinished and while at work the kids had seized my computer and probably sent it. Thank you for your feedback.


Yes, I have been a kind of stranger and there's a story to it. After family life got more intense and demanding I couldn't maintain practice and this gave me idea of losing rights to proper disciple guru connection.


HpS - Maybe as Diksa guru, but reason for even more intense relationship as Siksa-guru, Patha-pradarhika Guru.... The Guru who gives us instructions how to get out of the jungle and get on the path!


Plus, distance and technology restricts my sense of how to relate to you.


HpS - Henry James, the Nobel Laureate said that he thought letters were the highest form of literature.


I didn't foresee this many years ago when deciding on asking initiation. There are many things i didn't think of at the time, and it was a passionate thing in a way. So i've had doubt whether i did the right thing of becoming your disciple. I have an honest heart but my mind is, well, mostly foolish and impetuous and also dull.


ASA- Well, we have one, doubt. It seems that it could not have been too passionate. You were following the process for one year before you took initiation, so there was time for practically clear evaluation.

  • Is there a God?
  • Has He manifest Himself as Sri Krsna, Lord Caitanya?
  • If I serve Him will my family, social, physical, psychological necessities all be satisfied in the best possible way?
  • What does He want?
  • 1728 maha mantras on beads and 4-principles strictly?
  • How can I do this?
  • 🤔



And as usual things picked up again. . .

🐷 🐵 ASA - Ahh! We were right! We were right!

. . . . and i started connecting to you through prayer and hearing your Daksha talks and now we're here. From the Monks podcast i finally realized that in my approach of presenting KC with others, i share a lot of your mood. A recent job oriented psychology test showed i'm mostly artistic and analytically oriented.


One point i appreciated especially from the Shakespeare podcast was your description of the recurring theme in drama of becoming dhira. For me as a sadhaka a necessary basis for progressing to a next level in spiritual life. It is happening, but it's not that deep yet.


HpS - Deep Dhira comes when you have to be a Manjari follower of our Radha rani and see Krsna flirting with another girl!


Thank you Maharaja.

Hope you are doing well in all respects.


Your servant,

Raghava Pandit das


PS. Greetings from cat Sergei.


HpS - Thank you!!! We feel that you may be thinking of us from too much of a Vapu perspective. As Diksa guru we are just focused on the formal vows. As any service we can do as Siksa guru it is more how we can help you connect your Sankirtan service to Srila Prabhupada. For that you may have many prominent Siksa gurus. We may not be very prominent at all!


Hey you got a cat, but what about your wife and children.??.

Odissi Dance Academy

Dear Maharaj, PAMHO, AGTSP!

We have been working with Govardhan Eco Village to create a university level curriculum for classical dance (booklet attached).


You also asked us to share here some of the work we've been doing with them, perhaps to start a discussion here and connect with other devotees working in this area 🙏. For your pleasure we have attached those documents here.

Our latest choreographic work on Chapter 6 of Bhagavad Gita: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N8zAvw5Fvxw&t=555s

(13:00).


We had only 1 month to put this assignment/project together, both difficult and fun. 😥

😀


Please bless us and guide us. This endeavor is a fruit of the seed you have planted and watered in our hearts since childhood. We are so so blessed to have been bestowed some service in our insignificant life __/\o__.

Your aspiring servant,

Shatakshi


ASA - Thank you for this excellent report. Maybe Paramakaruna Das, Radha-prati-japa Devi Dasi will do likewise. The video links are essential.

https://www.learnsanskrit.cc, says that zatAkSI means night! You will teach us to understand BG by dancing and deliver us from the darkness of night? Then by understanding SB by dance we will be qualified to meet Krsna for the Rasa-lila at night?!


BG is a great ocean of family conflict. It shows us that even if those conflicts come to the most extreme limit we can resolve them so that everyone is maximum happy.

URGENT! Kapi Dhvaja 23rd July 2021

4 years, 9 months ago by Patrak das in Special Category A

Hare Krishna, Dear gurudeva!!!!!!!!!!!

All glories to Srila Prabhupada.

All glories to you.

Please accept our humble family obeisances.


🐵 - AgtSP!!!!! Who has given us the path back to Krsna, back to Vrndavan! Thank you. We hope you can all be fixed in the mode of goodness and transcendent hymns!!


As of every two weeks:

* Bulletin is now upload on Facebook (English & Spanish), it is also in Google Groups as listed at: http://www.jayarama.us/hello.htm


Sadhana is OK. We are always looking for a way to improve it and be more fixed. We read SB everyday. We need to work on our rounds, we have a lot left from the past.


ASA - Hansadutta Swami told us that old rounds are like old Prasadam! (?) It is a big sacrifice to control the mind and think of the Holy Names, but their can be no bigger result. The make us dance.


We are on holidays... Resting.

the following week we start planning what we will work on in the second semester in the school.


ASA-TB - Have your students study the examples Krsna give in the BG etc. Eg. He is the taste of water, the light of the Sun, the fragrance of the the Earth.


Health is Ok... Still working on a better diet for me.


HpS - So, important. Vegans tell us they want to decrease violence in the world. If we try in the end we will succeed. God helps those who help themselves!!!!!


Thanks a lot for this Wonderful bulletin.

EDT (Patrak das & Antuanette )


ASA - Thanks for translating. We hope it helps the Vanaras find Sita!!! Translate and also give criticism and commentary as you can!!
