Hare Krsna Guru Maharaja,

Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada. One professor at Yale, Mark Heim, agreed to facilitate a reading course on Carl Jung and Gaudiya Vaishanvism for me. He said he does not know much about Carl Jung but he is willing to facilitate the course. I am also in the same boat right now, as I do not know much about Carl Jung, so the course would probably have to be more of an introduction to his thought and a few preliminary connections that can be made with Gaudiya Vaishnava philosophy/theology. Gurudeva, I looked at the reading list you suggested in Viplavah and saved the names of the books. I was wondering if you have any more recommendations of books that I should read during the course of the next semester. Tomorrow, I am meeting with Mark Heim to discuss the details of the course. I am very grateful for any guidance you can provide, Guru Maharaja.


Your insignificant servant,

Sugopi Radha Devi dasi


Hps/ASA - AGTSP. paoho. The reading list is probably too much for one semester. You might start with Britannica article, https://www.britannica.com/biography/Carl-Jung, as an introduction, then read "Memories Dreams and Reflections". After that there could be choice of other books based upon time and interest of the students.

O.K.?

We will write to Professors Shonu Syamdasi and Bernardo Nantes about their opinions also.

URGENT - Calendar Change - Mayapura Classes

4 years, 7 months ago by hps in Special Category A, Hot Topics, Calendar Development

Our classes for Bhaktivedanta diploma,

For the Mayapura Institute,

On ZOOM,

Will start next Monday, Feb 1st, from 16-18:30 IST, 4.30 - 7AM Nashville Time,

On Mahārāja Sagara and Lord Rama, SB Canto 9, Chapters 8 to 12.


Then February 15-19th will be Canto 9, Chapters 19-24.


We didn't post this first session on our cell phone calendar so we missed it.

Radhika-nagara Das was sharp enough to remind us. He is only 47-years old, young man!


To avoid the Zoom address going public and risking hackers joining, we will give the Zoom address to just a few people individually and most everybody else can watch it on Facebook.


So . . . who wants the Zoom address, especially for Facebook sharing?


-0-0-


Obviously we will have to concentrate on preparing our teaching material. We will not be able to join the FMP during those days, and our voice and mind will be exhausted after 2.5-hours of lecturing daily.


Thank you so much,

HpS, Brown Tom and White Buck

Hare Krishna Reverencias TlgaSP

Querido gurudev!

Este año fue muy bueno para quedarse en el asram y hacer servicio..

# 16 rondas regular

# 4p bajo control

(tengo dificultades con la pizza ,el queso, en nuestra mente todavia hay mucho deseo sexual)

# Mangala arati regular 80 %..(.muchas veces no deso ir por que estoy yo solo con una matayi) eso me des entusiasma.

#Cumplimos con el servicio de reorganizar y orientar el proyecto de Nueva Govardhana.(Vision,misión,plan estrategico,etc).

# Presenté una serie de charlas online para brahmacaris por 3 meses.

# Estudiamos.el Srimad Bhagavatam con compañeros online y presencial en la finca (canto 1,3,4,6).

# Estoy haciendo bhakti vaibhava con Prabhu Devakinanda das HPS y Mitravinda dd su esposa.

# Maratón de distribución de libros 2020...(101 pequeños, 363 grandes y 50 BG).

Este año comencé a hacer sankirtana en la playa y salen muchos libros mas que en la ciudad...siempre salen primero los BG de mis manos. Siento que Krishna esta feliz y se relaciona conmigo atravez del sankirtana.

Con ganas de hacer Sankirtana viajero!!!!

Todas las Glorias a HPS y SP que hacen que este pobre inutil pueda tocar el sol!!!


HpS - Hare Krsna!!!! Gracias sus noticias. Todo su reportaje superior pero...


pero


PERO

now you should start writing some things? Articles, poetry, edited into books. Movies. More permanent documents.

Of course, this pandemic may mutate and in the end all modern civilization be broken, so the ultimate service is to develop Bhakti yoga in all circumstances.

For that we see not just the externally measurable results of Vaidhi bhakti, but coming to Raganuga Bhakti and Bhava Bhakti and fully awake in Prema Bhakti.


How is that developing: Adau sraddha...?


It is good to write here, but of course, you (b'cari, not ladies 😎) can put in confidential content and we won't publish it.


We have been trying to investigate your coming to M'boro as a b'cari and Sankirtan, devotee. NgD et al are enthusiastic.

We caught up with Sesa Das and discusses NIOS strategy and the visas, and he gave some options, but really it is hard if you cannot join the e-mail cycle and we make phone calls, which is hampered by the remoteness of New Govardhana yatra.


Hare Krsna!


Guess it would need a conference call with Nitai-gaurasundara Das.


Thank you.


Waiting for more of your mercy.


Respects to all! Even the lone Pujari.

Jambavati devi dasi's report

Hare Krsna dear Gurudeva

PAOHO AGTSP


This is your servant Gandharva das. Our senior god sister, Jambavati devi dasi, has some trouble in sending you her annual report, so she wrote us to help her (Google's translation).

(Some pictures were embedded but it wasn't possible to include them in the attachment)

NitayGouraPremanande !!! dear and always remembered Gurudev,

Please accept my humble obeisances !!

ALL THE GLORIES TO SRILA PRABHUPADA


Sorry for not being able to write to you earlier, my health was so complicated and, above all, someone stole my cell phone, somebody gave me a cell phone that was failing a lot .....

all this time I remembered the first years that I knew Krishna Consciousness, in that

then it was a privilege to see you. Even once a year ... I write youa letter and, waiting with great emotion to receive yourletter, everything was by conventional mail, at that time

there was no Internet, but every minute of my life I kept remembering it ...

I am not surprised about my Health, I met evicted Krishna Consciousness, and from time to time my body collapse to the point of death, I remember in Mexico a devout expert in Reiki healing was pale when checking me and told me: Jambavati has almost no vital signs! Another time m. Catamay asked the temple to pray for me, because both she and her husband who are doctors did not they gave me a long time to live, ... on another occasion I was doing service for Lord Jagannath, and in a Mangal Aratik I could not get up. I was suffocating I could not breathe, I couldn't move, my eyes were red and my eyelids purple ... the president of the temple, he was upset with me, he told me that I should not do sick service .... Krishna is so naughty, then I feel better and continue with the services ... nobody seeing me they believe I'm bad, hahaha .... a devout doctor told me but, you look very good, ... again I don't You think ... hehehe, ... I once heard a class that said (sorry if it is not well written) “Mare Krishna rake ke rake krishna mare ke ”if Krishna says that it is time for you to leave the body, Who can save you? And if Krishna wants to give you protection, who can harm you? Therefore I do not leave the Sankirtan, always Praying to Sena Pati Bhakta not to leave me without his books in my hands, in case the time comes I have a Prabhupada book with me ..... currently in the Collapse of the pandemic I ran out of money and, I went looking for a refuge with my old man Father, Krishna put in my way kind people are Christian preachers but, I They helped a lot, I spent another season at my family's house, working hard to earn myself the right of stay, the good thing was that my father was safe and fed in the middle of the pandemic, also with this situation it has been achieved that my brothers show more sensitive to my father's situation, (thanks pandemic), ....


Finally dear Gurudev, in Separation from you. There has not been a day that has not stopped the distribution of books, it will not be the Marathon distributions of yesteryear, but, even if it's a few minutes of preaching, chatting with people on my way, if they are interested and don't have the laxmi to take the book, I gave them an informative Hare Krishna magazine with the direction of the Center preaching, just before the pandemic began m. medini gave me about 200 magazines and now I hardly have any left ... and my books are also running out, due to their infinite mercy dear Gurudev, my Sadhana I take like this, 8 rounds early, 4 at noon and 4 at night and the 4 regulative principles ...... within the circumstances I worked almost 12 hours daily just to earn a living and have a roof where to hold my father ... that's why my body collapsed was too much effort, thanks to Krishna now I just moved to another

place and, I can work fewer hours ..... all this time I have not felt alone, a Sankirtanero by the grace of Prabhupada is always with people talking about Krishna, and experiences so much Nectar, lately I coincide with a Venezuelan devotee who goes from passenger when I am doing Sankirtan on the buses he is a nurse, and he met Conscience of Krishna 8 years ago in Caracas his name is b. Edgar meets s.s.GuruPrasad Swami and s.s. Bhakti Sundar swami with whom he maintains a lot of communication seems to be aspiring to be disciple of Maharaja because he is very interested in Maharaja coming to Peru .... And, many

more nectars with more people !! In the old days when there was no Internet he always remembered to the devotees who are chanting the Holy Names all over the world and that filled me with much enthusiasm to sing my Japa, now as before seeing photos of devotees and devotees in Sankirtan I take on a lot of enthusiasm ..... Infinite thanks dear GuruMaharaja because you, he always prays for me and gives me so much mercy !!! You once

He told me that there is more mercy for the most fallen, you. He's so compassionate to this useless soul and fall, eternally grateful to his divine lotus feet !!!


Radhe, Radhe, Radhe .........

Your useless and clumsy servant

m. Jambavati d.d.


HpS - Hare Krsna. We are crying a little as we read your letter. We only hope that we can be of a <<little>> practical service to you. We have been trying to contact you for weeks, months. Your pictures of Gaura Nitai, Vrnda, Gopal are on our altar, and your Monkey and Piggy guard to walls.

Thank you for your association.

Krsna can send people.

Krsna can send inteligence.

... at any moment. So, all we can say is that you are certainly one of the most well protected people in the universe. It would be hard to find anyone in ISKCON who does not respect you as a senior disciple of Srila Prabhupada and Lord Caitanya.

Chant Hare Krsna, and be happy.

Be very happy.

Let Krsna illuminate your service and give you more and more proximity with devotees.

Thank you.

Urgent: WhatsApp number

4 years, 7 months ago by Rukmini in Other

ASA - What is your whatsapp number? 🙂 We wil send you his, and not publish yours.


All right! +51..... HpS - Thank you. We got your number from Abhirama Thakura das this morning and sent it with The Candra Mukhi Devi Dasi's information to The Atul Krsna Das. He already thanked us and guess he will contact you directly.

Without the Krsna book, who can escape from the endless darkness of Sansara?


Thank you very much for the opportunity 🙏


Trying to serve,

End of Dicember Marathon!!

4 years, 7 months ago by brian tellez in Personal Sadhana Reports

Dear Gurideva Please accept my humble obeisances, all glories to Srila Prabhupada.❗


We just finished the December marathon, we made 29 Harinamas, a group of 10 devotees, and distributed approx. 6300 medium books and 300 bg. this was the honeymoon with my wife😂😂😂


HpS - ASA - You married Santa Rosa of Lima!


Gurudeva my wife's name is Aleksandra 👫 she is from SA Petersburg, she aspires to Niranjana Swami, She did Bhaktisastri in Mayapur and lived in the temple of lodres as Brahmacarini, she also participated with the Group from Harinama Ruci from Flourma Sankirtan,📚📚💃🕺🎤

now she is studying for the initiation exam and His Guru Maharaja asked us to go to Mayapur after finishing the marathon,


I have realized that I do not have much to offer to you more than my service and my Japa 🧘‍♂️📿🚧👷🧰📚, I am an enjoyer and maya punishes me every so often for that😈😣, I can't even call myself his disciple but I hope to get up again in Mangalaratika, I feel the constant purification😫, I have understood that I am a prisoner who is beaten🕰️⏳ and I must accept this with humility someday and keep trying to serve you whatever happens Gurudeva🐾🐈. 


HpS - Chanakya says that poverty cannot stay where there is constant endeavor, ignoraance cannot stay where there is constant recitation of the Vedas, and sinful reaction cannot stay where there is constant recitation of the Name of Hari.


Regarding Giriraja Mahajaraja and Srimati Radharani, we have generated a lot of attachment, it is what keeps us getting up early and keeps our family together👨🗿👧, we try to make things in our home revolve around Giridhari, in these times there are no qualified brahmanas, but we are trying to occupy our lives in the service of Harinama Sankirtan and maintain a standard of cleanliness🧽🧼🧹🚿 and punctuality⏱️ as we were taught in the temple with our deity, we also worship Pancatatva and Nrsmha deva, Lord Hanuman and Tulasi devi every morning, serving Guru Param Para and you Gurudeva and my wife's Guru HH Niranjana Swami.


HpS - As we understand, unless you are following four principles strict, like a Brahmana, worshipping Giriraja shilas can be dangerous. He is like a little child. He will get angry and kick things and even kill people!


After Mayapur we will go to Jaganath puri 🏯👑to continue with Harinama Sankirtan with His blessings🎣🙆‍♂️🙆‍♀️🙏🙏♿, so I will send you preaching reports when the month ends. 🎵🎼💯


HpS - !!


Thank you for your daily classes and those of your disciples every morning I listen to them when we are in the service to the deity through the Facebook of Asa Mexico🌮🇲🇽🌯, because of the schedules I cannot connect live, (the presentation or criticism of Sankia's book was very good) thank you very much for feeding me every morning with your teachings💦🌱. 


intend of his servant Vrajendra Kumara Das,🐷🎹🍨


HpS - Sorry we are so lazy!! Of you continue as you are doing you will achieve all success!
