get married or stay single

Hare Krishna Maharaja

Please accept my obeisances

All glories to Srila Prabhupada


I have thought about what we have been talking about and my decision is to continue as a “house brahmacari” for a while longer.


Since my mind is very lustful (as if I had a demon inside), I tell her that in the future we can get married.


You ordered me that at the end of this period I should make the decision to either get married or continue as a brahmacari.


If I can remain in this condition of “house monk” all my life, I think it will be most beneficial, both spiritually (particularly in preaching) and also materially, as it would save me a lot of trouble.


Thank you Maharaja


HpS/ASA - Hare Krsna. This is excellent topic.

I don't remember and specific instruction on the matter, but the general principles are the same, no?

This is not the age of:

  • Meditation.
  • Fire Sacrifice.
  • Deity Worship.
  • Varana ashrama Dharma.

It is the Age of Sankirtan, Congregational Singing of the Name, Fame, Pastimes of Krsna.

Jaya!


So, engage as much as you can in Sankirtan, Japa, and that will give you intelligence how to develope VAD, Deity Worship etc.


Married our B'cari.

Living with family or alone or with wife an children. Which will help our Sankirtan. Specifically 16-rounds and 4-principles under the authority of Srila Prabhupada!


Ideal is to make the decision by 25-years old (SB 1.17.38) but some of us come from barbaric families, so adjustment is necessary.


I know big leaders in ISKCON who stayed B'cari until 30-years old and then went directly into Vanprastha with a like minded lady devotee.

Emotional association but no gross.


Chant and pray for you position.

Try out things in a sane fashion.

Talk with nice advisors.

Read Srila Prabhupada's book for help!

SB Workshop timings discussion during Spain and India visits of Maharaja

Hare Krishna, Maharaja and dear devotees.


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


The purpose of this message is to start discussion about the timings for our weekly sanga of SB workshop. Maharaja's travel dates are as follow:


Spain: September 10 - September 17 & October 09 - December 03

India: September 17 - October 09


The time difference between Spain and USA (EST) is +6.0 hrs.

The time difference between India and USA (EST) is + 9.5 hrs.


During a preliminary discussion, Maharaja was thinking of doing SB workshop on Friday at 7: 00 pm - 7:30 pm when he is in Spain. Maharaja is visiting India for 3 weeks in those 3 weeks he is going to spend 2 weeks in Manipur, where internet access can be a problem due to political situation.


Point of Discussion:

What time we shall have a for weekly SB workshop class during Maharaja's visit in Spain?

Shall we have weekly SB workshop reading during Maharaja's visit to India?



HpS/ASA - Thank you! In other post we have made some comments on this.

We are waiting for comments from devotees in Spain.

Also, for India it seems best not try to connect by internet for classes for the full three weeks.

We can work out something else!

Urgente - Reporte a un mes de su venida a España de "El Sexteto"

9 months ago by Yulisa Yugala in Calendar Development

HK, pamho querido Guru Maharaja:

Estamos más que felices porque falta un mes para que esté en España. Siguiendo su buen ejemplo, en mi calendario personal y con lápiz programamos una actividad diferente por hacer cada semana, hay muchos detalles por resolver antes de su venida.

Tuvimos el buen ejemplo en México de madre Astasakhi, una hermana mayor, muy experta en servirlo. Y en Nueva Vraja Mandala Tarangaksi DD, Yasoda DD, desde meses atrás están coordinando la llegada de los hermanos espirituales, seguramente le escribirán e informarán del área que les corresponde.

Gracias al apoyo de los hermanos mayores Jara Mara Hari Das, P. Jayanta y P. Gadadhara. Ellos tienen muchas responsabilidades, a pesar de eso, están orientando, activos en servicio y coordinando lo de su llegada. Y gracias a Sus bendiciones Gurudeva hay armonía y apreciación, entre nosotros, pensamos que estamos rodeados de gente más madura espiritualmente.

Hoy terminamos de armar el cronograma de su visita con la ayuda de los hermanos “el sexteto” (Jara Mara Hari Das, P. Jayanta , P. Gadadhara, Yasoda DD, Tarangaksi DD y Yugala KD) una presentación tipo calendario, fácil de leer y entender.

Esta semana tenemos una cita con Maharaja sobre más detalles de su visita. Quedamos con P. Jayanta que le mandará el cronograma HpS, después de coordinar con Maharaja Yadunandana, ese calendario se ha trabajado por meses, tomando en cuenta las correcciones y el esfuerzo conjunto de “el sexteto.”

Entonces, Gurudeva pediremos a las deidades cada día, para que lo traigan con bien a NVM. Pedimos sus bendiciones para poder servirlo con humildad, apreciación y en cooperación con los demás hermanos.

No sabe lo felices y afortunados que estamos todos por aquí por su próxima visita. Le mando las fotos de las princesas incas en el castillo de Torrija. Vale!!!

Hariiiiibolo!

HK, pamho. dear Guru Maharaja:

We are more than happy because there is a month left until he is in Spain. Following your good example, in my personal calendar and with pencil we schedule a different activity to do each week, there are many details to resolve before your arrival.

We had the good example in Mexico of mother Astasakhi, an older sister, very expert in serving him. And in Nueva Vraja Mandala Tarangaksi DD, Yasoda DD, for months they have been coordinating the arrival of the godbrothers, they will surely write to you and inform you of the area that corresponds to them.

Thanks to the support of the elder brothers Jara Mara Hari Das, P. Jayanta and P. Gadadhara. They have many responsibilities, despite that, they are guiding, active in service and coordinating their arrival. And thanks to His Gurudeva blessings there is harmony and appreciation, among us,

we think that we are surrounded by more spiritually mature people.

Today we finished putting together the schedule of your visit with the help of the brothers “the sextet” (Jara Mara Hari Das, P. Jayanta, P. Gadadhara, Yasoda DD, Tarangaksi DD and Yugala KD) a calendar-type presentation, easy to read and understand. This week we have an appointment with Maharaja about more details of his visit.

We agreed with P. Jayanta who will send you the HpS schedule after coordinating with Maharaja Yadunandana.

This schedule has been worked on for months, taking into account the corrections and the joint effort of “the sextet.”

Then, Gurudeva, we will ask the deities every day, so that they bring him well to NVM.

We ask for your blessings to be able to serve you with humility, appreciation and in cooperation with other brothers. You don't know how happy and lucky we all are around here for your upcoming visit. I send you the photos of the Inca princesses in the Torrija castle. OK!!!

Hariiiiibolo!

HpS/ASA - Thank you for the news! Hare Krsna. AgtSP!

We have been doing Sunday morning SB/CC workshops for maybe two years now. They were 7.30-9.00AM Houston, USA time.

That is 7 hours earlier than Spain.

One suggestion is that we have the seminars on Friday evening Madrid, NVM time.

Yet that may conflict with receiving guests arriving for weekend programs.

So, please consider these bi-lingual SB/CC classes into the calendar.

Also, our body, voice etc are like 60% dead, so we cannot Chant, Read, interview the same as last year.

Thank you.

Hare Krishna

Todas las Glorias a Srila Prabhupada!!!


Querido Gurudeva por favor acepte mis reverencias tiene ya mucho tiempo que no me reporto con usted pero seguimos intentando desarrollar un poco de amor por Krishna, la última vez que pude hablarle fue en su última visita a México ahí le comenté que queríamos mudarnos a New Vrindavan con toda la familia, ahora ya cumplimos un mes que estamos viviendo aquí dentro de la comunidad y bajo la protección de Radha Vrindavan Candra.

Estamos muy contentos de estar aquí, el lugar es muy lindo y la comunidad de devotos es muy inspiradora en muchos aspectos estoy intentando recuperar mi sadhana y asistir a mangalartic algunos días a la semana en compañía de Gopi Radha que me motiva a asistir al programa matutino al templo.


Querido Gurudeva estamos orando para poder verlo muy pronto 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽


PD. Adjunto algunas fotos

Hare Krishna

All Glories to Srila Prabhupada!!!

Dear Gurudeva please accept my obeisances, it has been a long time since I last reported to you but we continue trying to develop a little love for Krishna,

the last time I was able to speak to you was on your last visit to Mexico there I told you that we wanted to move to New Vrindavan with the whole family, now we have been living here for a month within the community and under the protection of Radha Vrindavan Candra.


We are very happy to be here, the place is very nice and the community of devotees is very inspiring in many aspects I am trying to recover my sadhana and attend mangalartic a few days a week in the company of Gopi Radha who motivates me to attend the morning program at the temple.


Dear Gurudeva we are praying to see you very soon 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽


PS. I am attaching some photos


HpS - Thank you!!

Do some work!!

Invest a little time making Yoga partners, with you you wake up, compare Jaya scores, Sankirtan.


Jaya!


So.... SO.... S O ....... good to hear from you.

We think of you sometimes and wonder where you are!


Just because you are alive we know that you have learned a lot.

Sagacious Aunt, Saranagati Dasi.


Radharani is going bonkers!

You were supposed to be the Manjari who helped comb Her hair, but you are dabbling in the material play ground!

Get it together.

She will have to appear before Krsna with Her hair like a haystack.
