All glories to Goura Nitay

All glories to Srila Prabhupada

Hare Krishna, Gurudev, I begin this report by telling you that I am fine with regulating my sleep.

Some time ago I started doing yoga for this weak donkey with the theme of the pandemic I have not done swimming I miss it a lot but it will come, so yoga has been an ally to strengthen my body.

In addition to this, I continue with my preaching by phone reading the biography of Srila Prabhupada and the NoI to 7 girls, very happy, solving their doubts and asked how they are twice a week, I continue working with three small reading writing with powerpoint through zoom, my family very well all very favorable to do my program at home with my deities. In this month of Damodar with p Lakshman we started doing our program by getting up as usual at three in the morning to sing our rounds, CC reading .I read I p. Laksmana listen, then Mangalarati with you, in the afternoon, six thirty, Mechita with the song then p Lakshman reads translation, Bg before resting (nine at night of mine) I read the krishna book and the prabhu listens. despite the distance we have a good daily program over the phone

Thank you very much for your attention, I hope I am doing a good preaching for Srila Prabhupada, with your blessings everything will improve.

your humble servant, Raman Reti devi dasi, says goodbye.

AGTSP p a o h o ...... There cannot be any better program! Krsna will do the magic. Of course, it may be something very private or public. We hear that Srila Bh. Vinod. Th. said that if you can do your service your whole life and no one even notices what you are doing, that pure devotional service.

Who are the Seven Ladies? Can we see a little bio-data from them? What is the goal of life?

being humble, being progressive

Hare Krsna Maharaja. Please forgive my arrogance in the last letter! I was obviously under a spell of false pride trying to display my erudition before others! I beg your forgiveness and for that of all the esteemed devotees on this blog. o/ \_


Your aspiring servant,

Bhakti Sastra Das

HpS-ASA - Did not seem that way to us. Your letters seem very cultivated. What about VDM 15.73? P'pada, Radha-8 lecture, London, "Radha! Hare! No difference" Compare Sarva bhauma Das Translation with Kusakratha Das (http://www.jayarama.us/archives/vdm.docx)...

Vrindavan

4 years, 7 months ago by bhaktisastra in Hot Topics

Hare Krsna Maharaja,

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

Maharaja from what I understand, love of Godhead, Krsna prema, awakens by constant absorption in the pastimes of Vrindavan. Only by constant hearing of this transcendental realm can we catch a glimpse of the perfected state of the living being.

HpS - AGTSP Yes, and the stages are described in the NOD, no? Vaidhi Bhakti, Raganuga Bhakti, Bhava Bhakti . . . !! Prema Bhakt !!! (AWAKE!)

In Vaidhi we see Radha Krsna as Deities and the altar as Vrndavana and we keep it clean. Then we see that they are Spiritual (Brahmana), then we get inspiration in detail from Them and see Their mood (Goswami), then we talk with Them (Saksi Gopal). Correct.

Srila Prabhodananda Saraswati Thakur describes, “I meditate on the fair and dark complexioned divine young couple, who are absorbed in ecstatic love for each other and who are singing melodiously together under the tall, huge, kadamba trees filled with many flowers on the banks of the Kalindi River.”

- Sri Vrindavan Mahimamrta Sataka 15 Text 98

I feel it is important for us practicing devotees to know that our goal is not just to follow rules and regulations but to actually attain spontaneous loving attraction to Radha & Krsna in Vrindavan. This is achieved only by taking shelter of Srimati Radharani.

HpS - I agree. It can be like having a free vacation from Chicago in the Winter to Hawaii. Then you have to come back... but now you know where you want to live. By Lord Caitanya's mercy we can get a taste of Prema that even a Lord Brahma might not get!!! ... but then we come back and have to do Karma-misra(mixed)-bhakti yoga ie. stop smoking, chant on beads.. as we advancing karma-misra, jnana-misra, dhyana-misra... we always keep the lighthouse in mind, and sometimes we may get little undeserving visits there as we advance, (https://vedabase.io/en/library/sb/1/6/22/), but high thoughts and practical work?

“The golden effulgence emanating from Sri Radha’s bodily limbs covers the ten directions. She drowns both spiritual and material objects in the ocean of Her transcendental beauty. In this way She is always supremely glorious.”

Sakata Seven, Text 93

I pray to the most merciful Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu for an ounce of mercy to understand and approach these Himalayan topics.

Is my understanding correct?

Eagerly awaiting your comments or corrections.

Your insignificant servant,

Bhakti Sastra Das

HpS - ASA - We added our little thoughts above. Are they correct from your point of view? See another letter from you... :>>> We want VERY much to fit Vrindavana Dhama Mahimamrta (VDM) into our hearing and chanting.
