Hare Krsna Maharaj,PAMHO, AGTSP,

We thank you for the service. We accept it. But feel very unqualified for it.

It will be helpful if you can elaborate what is Special Category A and Special category B?

How we can access Special Category A letters?

grateful horse

ASA/UG - AgtSP!!! Category A we are now using for stuff that can be cited in the Kapi Dhvaja, and Category B for stuff that should go directly into the ASA Encyclopedia.

When you go to: https://monkeywarrior.com/ it says, "Filter by Category".

Sannyasa, Sannyasa, Sannyasa. How is Pariksit??? What special talent does he have?

“Diario de Dos Criaturas Viajeras”

    Hare Kripa - Octubre 2020

Llegamos el 1ro de Octubre a Arequipa, con Mono Swami adentro de la bolsa de japa y con Karuna Mayi dd. Después de un viaje de casi 18 horas en bus... Arequipa tiene más altura que Lima, pero nosotros que íbamos de Chaclacayo estábamos medio acostumbrados... Quizás Mono Swami nos ayude a escribir de vez en cuando, por ahora él quiere quedarse en Arequipa, le da cierto miedo el frio del Cusco.

“Llegar a un lugar y quedarse lo justo es saborear el néctar y no involucrarse con sus problemas” pero en general y a pesar de todo Hare Kripa es de los mejores “Iskcon” en Perú a entender de Mono Swami, nosotros pensamos que aún pueden desarrollarse mucho más, porque hay devotos maduros con mucho talento... definitivamente es un lugar para regresar siempre.

Nuestra hermana Manasi Ganga, y nuestras sobrinas Laksmi, Tulasi, los pollos (loritos) y la Kumuda (gatita) han sido increíbles anfitrionas, al punto que en un momento llegamos a pensar que estábamos en nuestra propia casa, incluso Mono Swami salto a la bolsa de japa de Laksmi y se quiso quedar en Hare Kripa un tiempo... Ya lo recogeremos pronto...

“La base son los libros y la predica es la esencia” así que pudimos distribuir unos libros algunos días, especialmente en el primer Harinam que hacemos después de la cuarentena, camino al templo en la casa de Rama Lila Mataji, donde hicimos un seminario “Karuna Virus” y “Educación, Gurukula y algunas perspectivas educativas para niños y jóvenes” esto en tres días o sesiones. Aquí en Hare Kripa hay más de 10 niños hijos de devotos, nosotros contamos un poco nuestra experiencia en el Gurukula y en colegios, y estamos animando a Rukmini mataji que deje su trabajo y abra su propio Gurukula, escuela en casa. Karuna como siempre se lució con el delicioso prasadam que ofreció a los devotos, ella no es de hablar mucho, y cuando habla lo hace con sus ollas... Recordando una clásica broma de nuestro amado Gurudeva SS. HpS, a quien agradecemos toda la inspiración para mantenernos hasta ahora, rescatándonos siempre del fango de nuestra mente...

Hare Kripa fue una bonita oportunidad de Sankirtan viajero. Mono Swami quizás escriba la próxima parada: Cuzco, el ombligo del mundo... nosotros ya llegamos, y lo estamos esperando... pronto...

"Diary of Two Traveling Creatures"

    Hare Kripa - October 2020

= =-=-=-=-=

We arrived in Arequipa on October 1st, with Mono Swami inside the japa bag and with Karuna Mayi d. d.

ASA/TB - Also in Japa Bag??

After a journey of almost 18 hours by bus ... Arequipa is higher than Lima, but we who were going from Chaclacayo were half used to it ... Perhaps Mono Swami will help us to write from time to time, for now he wants to stay in Arequipa, the cold of Cusco scares you.

"To get to a place and stay just enough is to savor the nectar and not get involved with its problems" but in general and despite everything Hare Kripa is one of the best "Iskcon" in Peru to understand from Mono Swami, we think that they can still develop much more, because there are mature devotees with a lot of talent ... it is definitely a place to always return to.

Our sister Manasi Ganga, and our nieces Laksmi, Tulasi, the chickens (parrots) and the Kumuda (kitten) have been incredible hosts, to the point that at one point we came to think that we were in our own house, even Mono Swami jumped to the Laksmi's japa bag and he wanted to stay in Hare Kripa for a while ... We'll pick him up soon ...

"The base is the books and the preaching is the essence" so we were able to distribute some books some days, especially in the first Harinam that we do after the quarantine, on the way to the temple in the house of Rama Lila Mataji, where we did a seminar " Karuna Virus ”and“ Education, Gurukula and some educational perspectives for children and young people ”this in three days or sessions. Here in Hare Kripa there are more than 10 children of devotees, we tell a little about our experience in the Gurukula and in schools, and we are encouraging Rukmini mataji to quit his job and open his own Gurukula, home school.

Karuna as always made the delicious prasadam that she offered to the devotees, she does not talk much, and when she speaks she does it with her pots (Remembering a classic joke of our beloved Gurudeva SS. HpS, to whom we thank for all the inspiration to keep us until now, always rescuing us from the mud of our mind ...)

ASA - Clint Eastwood: "I don't talk much, but when I talk my pistol (spoon) speaks for me)" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eyPZFi2b380

Hare Kripa was a nice opportunity for a traveling Sankirtan. Monkey Swami may write the next stop: Cuzco, the navel of the world ... we have already arrived, and we are waiting for you ... soon ...

ASA - Maybe we come on April 21st 2001. Develop 21st Century ISKCON Land. Stay for a year. Visit USA again and go with 400 devotees to Vrndavana to make a movie.

Hare Krsna Dear Gurudeva

Por favor acepte nuestras humildes reverencias, todas las glorias a Srila Prabhupada.

Ha pasado un tiempo desde el último reporte, Usted nos sugirió que viajáramos y le dijimos que iríamos por el Sur del Perú, pero la cuarentena se amplió un par de meses más aquí y tuvimos que quedarnos en Chaclacayo todo ese tiempo.

Finalmente nos contagiamos del virus, y pudimos superarlo en 5 días, tomando CDs dióxido de cloro. Así todo el tiempo estuvimos preparándonos para viajar al Sur, desapegándonos de los últimos artefactos y muebles que teníamos, otras pequeñas cosas las enviamos al Cusco... y nos fuimos a Arequipa. Allá en uno de los programas de FMP, Usted nos sugirió escribir un “Diario de dos criaturas viajeras” así que vamos a hacer el intento de enviarle nuestro diario los días de Ekadasi – Dvadasi. Nosotros usamos el Facebook para guardar nuestras fotos, y le estamos agregando historias como un diario para nosotros mismos, y usamos el youtube para guardar nuestros videos, porque ya no tenemos más almacenamiento. Viajando a veces el internet falla, así que a veces no participamos del FMP, y de las demás clases...

Así que nos preparamos para el primer reporte del diario de dos Criaturas viajeras... en la siguiente carta...

Muchas gracias por todo Gurudeva.

Hare Krsna Dear Gurudeva

Please accept our humble obeisances, all glories to Srila Prabhupada.

It has been a while since the last report, you suggested that we travel and we told you that we would go to the South of Peru, but the quarantine was extended for a couple of months here and we had to stay in Chaclacayo all that time.

We finally got the virus, and were able to overcome it in 5 days, taking chlorine dioxide CDs. So all the time we were preparing to travel to the South, detaching ourselves from the last artifacts and furniture that we had, other little things we sent to Cusco ... and we went to Arequipa.

Back in one of the FMP programs, you suggested that we write a "Diary of Two Traveling Creatures" so we are going to try to send you our Diary on the days of Ekadasi - Dvadasi. We use Facebook to save our photos, and we are adding stories to it as a journal for ourselves, and we use YouTube to save our videos, because we don't have any more storage. Traveling sometimes the internet fails, so sometimes we do not participate in the FMP, and in the other classes ...

So we prepare for the first journal report of two traveling Creatures ... in the next letter ...

Thank you very much for everything Gurudeva.

HpS - ASA - Here at the Supreme Undifferintiated Absolute Commando (SUAC) of ASA we don't have Face book!!

Should be very interesting!!!

Are you traveling with a Llama? What is S(he)it's name? More than one? Many Cuy and a Condor? -(Awwwk!) Will you discover the jewel that will turn all the U-239 in the world into lead!

Hadendufbsk

HpS - ASA Esteemed Divya svarupa Das, This one is better! AgtSP. Is it experiment to see if we are receiving the messages. If you write URGENT in Title and seeing your name, we will try to answer more quickly.

We attach some photos and wait for some more of your association!!!! How are the children, Mataji, family, forests, BG groups, personal Sadhana?

Hare Krsna! Esteemed Krsna-svarupa Das, it is so nice to get message from you, but there id no content! We could not answer immediately because we are struggling with a lot of work and because we are selfish and evil. 😎

All of us in this world are selfish and evil except for the avataras, no?

Tungavidya Devi Das sent two fotos of the progress of the ASA ashrama at Radha-kunda. What an exciting place. Everyone has their external form there, but internally are they all engaged in different work for the different 8-sakhi. Lot to do.

Your video of mosquitos is very interesting. We need to find what food we need to eat so that we have a smell they won't like. no?

AgtSP!!! paoho. We were listening to the recording of Sriman Gandharva Das answering the question of Kumaru Mitravinda Devi Das just before 45-minutes in today's class.

We can ask, "What is the difference between Radha, Vrnda-devi, Paurnamasi, Subhadra", no? As we understand now, Radha is the first internal energy of Krsna. We could consider the others being expansions of Her. She becomes the Stage Manager in the drama to see that all the parrots are chanting properly (Vrndadevi), or the Director of the orchestra to see that the humor is developing properly as the play develops (Paurnamasi), while at the same time keeping Her role as the actress, the heroine in the Drama.

https://vedabase.io/en/library/cc/adi/4/96/

Yet, even though she is the principal Shakti, is Subhadra not an expansion of Her but another one of Krsna's internal potencies? We can't find the citations we are remembering quickly.

I would also add that as we remember Srila Prabhupada's instruction is to worship our Radha Krsna Deities on the mood of Laksmi-narayana. It is not that we are worshipping L/N. They have four arms. Srinivasa Das' answer was quite nice.

We were are Raval during the Vraja Mandala Parikrama, and it was a very simple village. maybe even no electricity. The pujari was Vrajavasi and in the afternoon when there was sunshine he just brought the deities out on the porch and so They would get some afternoon sun and not catch cold.

Then he rolled up his dhoti and took a bucket and went off for a 10 minute walk through the forest to the Yamuna to get water for Their service, although there was a nice well there.

We are covered by Maha-maya in the form of intellectual illusions eg. http://brainden.com/face-illusions.htm, but then today I was hearing/realizing that we are covered by the Brahma-jyoti. That is after the illusion of the senses, mind and intelligence have finished. We come so much enamored with the kingdom, we forget the King.
