All Glories to Srila Prabhupada !!!


As each letter I start telling you about my sadhana, 20 rounds, 4 principles, lately a bit difficult to concentrate on good rounds, I follow the FMP and connect to classes when they are in Spanish, I attend Tulasis (4) at home, I attend Jagannath Baladev Subhadra, Goura Nitay, I offer sweets, capatis, half day offering and milk, my reading at this time is based on the books of the bhakti sastri course, which I continue with P. Gandharva and again reading the krsna book.


HpS - ASA - !!! 👌

. . . .


HpS/ASA - We won't even read it. 😊

Best process is to have Gandharva Das or Karuna Krsna Das or some such nice devotee to send the letter to us. We are waiting. Thank you for all you determined efforts to help this movement.

horror , ghastly, chivarly, anger,shock secondary rasas.

Hare Krsna Maharaj , PAMHO, AGTSP.


There seems no one else for us to reveal heart even inappropriately in public, even if we are mis understood {who cares if Guru Tattva/Krsna understands you}.


This letter is again inspired by the SPOG......


We saw Krsna enjoy wrestling with Madhumangal ji, enjoying wrestling with Chanura/Mustik.

He enjoyed, being pierced by Bheesma.

He has desire to fight in form Varaha , Narasimha.


So frankly speaking this is what service we think we like to do for the pleasure of lord, if not always, but many memorable times. Anything else as service we dont know what to do.


HpS - So you want to become Kung Fu warrior.


Hence we wrote Kicking Narsimha deva in ribs, it will be tickle, but he might enjoy it, his desire to fight....


HpS - Oh, not a warrior for Krsna, but a demon against Krsna! Strange.... Krsna enjoys material world, Kubja, some times by spiritual world, Radha, all the time.

enough of speculation.....


From NOD and Bhagvatam (1.1.3)-- can you tell/guide/instruct us how does Krsna uses these secondary rasas with his devotees..

raudra (anger), vīra (chivalry), bhayānaka(horror), bībhatsa (shock), śānta (neutrality)


how do we use these rasas in our earthly relationships?


how does anger mentioned here is different anger mentioned in BG 16.21 gateways to hell.


if lord wants to enjoy fighting, we need to use anger in his service, to give him a good fight ?

------ Krsna is great research topic----rel PhD..


HpS - He fights with the other cowherd boys, but that is sporting. No one exactly wants to when, defeat the others.


we asked that you can hit us, because once you hit us in stomach with smile, and we liked it, also responded with smile ( bheesma arrows on Krsna )


when two arrows meet, it seems two people are kissing...

---> <---


hope we are not hallucinating or deluded..


why not Krsna is everywhere.


krsna krsna krsna


even we count kicks by Ram Krsna (even numbers /Left/Up are Rama, odd numbers/Right/Down are Krsna)


and counts are in done in multiple of 16 - exponent (2,4) or 8 exponent (2,3)...


binary logic - 01- RK

011- RRK - 03

now devotees can fight over if 0 is R or K..

lets have tug of war , across Yamuna, which gang you want to join..

why not remember krsna while fight { aha.... the original causeless}

but remember at the end we all are in one team ( Top Gun- 1985 , Viper, dialog)


S-Hare-d our Journal-ism.


Salute


HpS - My God, we have finally met someone who is completely mad. Of course, anything COMPLETE is spiritual.


Get "Waves of Devotion" by Danurdhara Swami. That is guide to NoD. Northern part describes the secondary rasas! Lot of work to do.

New Kuruksetra film

4 years, 5 months ago by haribuddhi_dasa in Hot Topics

Dearmost Srila Hanumatpresaka Swami Maharaja,

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

Again India offers us a film inspired by the Pastimes of the Lord. Big budget, no resources were spared in presenting Duryodhana as a hero of the Kuruksetra War. Here Sri Krishna is an overweight middle-aged person. If we are willing to tolerate distortions regarding pastimes, then it may be worth it.

Deity worship

4 years, 5 months ago by brian tellez in Hot Topics

Hare Krsna dear Gurudeva

pamho Agtsp

Thank you very much for your blessings to worship Gaura Nitai, we will follow your instructions and help you in your worship for Gaura Nitai. But how can we do this? we can just go to Loy Bazaar and buy Deities?, or we need to pray ?could you give some recommendations regarding this. 

Dear Guru Maharaj, I have only one question left,

what should we do with Giriraj?, I humbly ask you to help us understand how to deal with him.

We will accept any decision you make and follow it.


HpS - Ask Mataji's Guru also! I would say that you should pray to GN to appear, but you can looking Loi Bazaar. Ask devotees if they know of a set that are looking for a home.


I would say that you can keep a Govardhana Sila in a clean place on your altar. Keep him clean, but don't worship him separately. Until you have met the standard of purity as described in the last letters.

Thank you.


Thanks so much for your time, and your inspiración

Personal Sadhana Report

4 years, 5 months ago by Yamuneswar Das in Personal Sadhana Reports

Hare Krsna, Guruji Maharaja, Dandavat Pranam,


All Glaries to Sri Krsna, Sri Gouranga Mahaprabhu and Goura Bhakta Brinda.


Please accept my humble obeisances unto the padmacharan of Guruji Maharajah that this as year gone, Guruji's Vyasa Pujah also finished. Some pictures are attached for memory.


HpS - AgtSP


Just for increasing spiritual knowledge in serving Radha Krsna, Panchatatva, Jagannatha, Balabhadra, and Subhadra, I am reading the translation in Manipuri the book Prem Bilas of Rupa Goswami Thakur Maharaja.


HpS - We do not have an English copy.


After initiation and brahma diksa also we have never discussed / taught how to serve deities. The most important thing is to serve Nityananda first to get Gouranga Mahaprabhu likewise, we should serve Radharani first to get Krsna. Again, we should fix a particular kunja following a particular Manjuri. Please instruct me my particular kunja and Manjuri to be followed. All such things are not in the Bhagavat Gita and Bhagavatam.

Yours fallen servant,

Yamunesvara Das


HpS - Hare Krsna!!!! Text Eight of Nectar of Instruction, Srila Rupa Goswami's, Upadesamrta, seems have complete answer to this question, no? NoI is first book of Srila Rupa Goswami, the more we study, assimilate, it deeper and deeper, the more we can go to the other instructions of Srila Rupa Goswami.

In the beginning as second initiated devotees, we can worship Lord Nityananda and Srimati Radha on our ISKCON temple altars as given by Srila Prabhupada, Bh. Siddhanta, Lord Caitanya... Of course, such nice pujaris as Bana mali Das et al can give instructions about this.


Then gradually our worship will come to Ruci seva, Raga-anuga seva (See https://vedabase.io/en/library/noi/7/#bb5985 and following verses). This comes when are Goswamis, formally or by practice and realization. Ladys must also come to this stage before becoming pure devotees.


Are you Nistha, fixed, in Vaidhi Bhakti, service by rules and regulations:

  • Every day 16-nice rounds.
  • Four principles strictly.
  • Mangala arati and proper bath and dress for your Deity's daily.
  • All day fully engaged according to the daily Seva.

If we can do this, then Guru-Gauranga will reveal our Eternal Place and Leader.


How is your service progressing like this???


Your letters are very inspiring for such dummies as us.

Vyasapuja in Manipura

4 years, 5 months ago by Yamuneswar Das in Calendar Development


All glories to Srila Prabhupada. Please accept our dandabat pranams,


Yesterday at 2 pm, H.H. Bhakti Anandamai Haridasa Guru Maharaja and Banamali Prabhu, Sadhubhusan Dasa and Brojendro Prabhu came at Thoubal and discussed the modalities, program and finalised everything for your Vyasapuja.


Around 50 we are arranging Prasadam. Programme will start from 8.30 a.m. and Prasadam at 1.00 p.m.

Please suggest any item to be added.

Yours fallen sarvent,

Yamunesvara Das.


HpS - Thank you for the news! AGTSP. So nice to hear of the devotees in Manipura. First, we are only supporting a HpS Vyasa Puja if it is viewed as our effort to glorify, illuminate the entire parampara: Krsna, Vyasa, Lord Caitanya, Narottama Das, Srila Prabhupada, Us, You et al.


What is our place?


We offer our obeisances to everyone.


Sing the Bhajan by Bh. Siddhanta Sarasvati, no? http://kksongs.org/songs/k/krsnahoitecatur.html


Here is our Vyasapuja Offering to Srila Prabhupada this year.


"We offer our humble obeisances to His Divine Grace Srila A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada, author of the book, KRSNA: The Supreme Personality of Godhead, and Founder Acharya of the International Society for Krsna Consciousness.


Srila Prabhupada, we suspect that our attempts to illuminate your glories on your Vyasapuja day are like a candle trying to illuminate the sun. The flame just becomes invisible. On the other hand if we are allowed to consider the task like a fire-fly trying to illuminate some of the features of your lotus feet then we might be able to make a small contribution to today's activities.


When your divine grace was in Berkeley. California in 1975 we heard from your lips that anyone who chants the Pancha-tattva Maha-mantra and follows it with the Hare Krsna Maha-mantra has achieved the perfection of life, but if they wanted to preach they should probably read your books.


Then, when asked by a reporter what would happen to your movement when your divine grace died, you answered firmly that you would never die, you would live forever in your books.


These two statements are our life and soul.


Thank you.


We try to always be chanting Maha-mantra internally and externally under the shelter of your divine grace's lotus feet and over and above that read and preach from your books.


Now we read Caitanya-caritamrta daily before Mangala-arati, and it is 90% a novel experience for us. We understand it with so much more depth than before. We see that your divine grace's book is deep beyond our abilities to plumb.


Then after Mangala-arati we read and discuss a little with the devotees in Spanish. Before we were doing Nectar of Devotion, but now we are read a verse a day from the Light of the Bhagavata. We find the purports as direct truth, illumination, on such topics at Veganism, administration in ISKCON etc.


We keep a daily Srimad Bhagavatam class. Sometimes it is with an online group, sometimes local temples. We are integrating our study with the development of questions for the Bhakti-vaibhava diploma with your ISKCON Board of Examinations.


We cite your books from Vedabase.io and the concepts we have learned therein in our humble attempts to preach in the university, Jungian, world classical literature and interfaith communities.


They are the guide for devotees advancing from adau sraddha, sadhu sanga... to prema.


Thank you Srila Prabhupada. We feel we have always been a heavy load that you have had to drag forward in our purification, but we are experiencing practical advancement.


We hope that we can be a little, pleasing, grain of sand under your lotus feet, in the sandy path that is your ISKCON, helping your Sankirtan expand and expand and expand.

Thank you.

Your very fallen servant, Hanumatpresaka Swami

11 March 2020."


At you service.
