Hare Krishna:

Plelase, accept my humble obeisances.

All glories to Srila Prabhupada.

I would like to improve my rounds during the Purusottama month,

which starts tomorrow,

but I don’t know how. I am waking up at 5 am (except the other day, when my alarm didn’t ring and I slept until almost 6 o’clock).

I chant until almost 7 am (around 10 rounds). Then I chant at school, whenever I am a little bit free,

but my mind is very distracting, thinking about the next classroom, my colleagues, meetings...,

or in the afternoon,

but again I am not able to chant properly.

I want to change this, but I need help. Getting up early means sleeping too little or at least that is what my mind says to me. Could you give me any advice?

Thank you for listening.

Your servant,

Purnamasi devi dasi.

HpS - ASA ---- Does this give some help????

Hare Krsna su santidad, acepte mis reverencias por favor.

Me presento, soy Gopinath, mis padres son devotos, Maha Madavi DD y Rama Priya Das. naci en Ecuador. Tengo 31.

I was away from Krsna consciousness for practically all my life (since I was 12yo), mainly because I wanted to have a normal life, also because I did not wanted to believe in god, which is absurd because I cant avoid to pray at night.

I was not able to understand the real implications of been Krsna conscious, I read the books but they did not make any sense. So I stayed away.

Then a couple of years ago, after spending lots of time trying to find happiness with a material perspective (finishing my under graduate and graduate studies, buying a car, getting a place to live, having a girlfriend and all that) I get bored, and realize that I needed something more. I always remember my sister kunti saying: "dont be afraid of being a deep person". And then I started to embrace my spirituality, first, I went to a vipassana course of ten days, and it was so awesome, its like I was born for meditating.

HpS - AgtSP one of my best friends from University became big Vipassana Dude!

It happened that last year in august, I took my japa for the first time in decades, I had always keep it near me, but never touched it, it was my japa from when I was a kid. And I started to chant a little. And it felt great!!!! Then I decide to go to the temple in santiago, to the morning program. Hahahah of course it was hard because its too early so I never get up in time and in consequence I never went. But one day, I said like man, if you dont do it now, you are never going to do it.

So I woke up at 4, take a quick bath, get into the car and to the temple. I was really nervous, but the devotee that was there, Sebastian, welcomed me with a lot of enthusiasm and give me a garland, it was so nice, like every little thing, from the sounds of the bell to the majestic altar remind me of my childhood.

I went ther to leave at 10am, but ended up leaving at 10pm!!!!!

HpS - ASA --- My, God!

Helping in the temple, talking about cosmology. It was great.

Well, I have a lot of things to say, I went to India also, but I dont want to take a lot of your time.

Just want to say hello, and pay obeisances onto your lotus feet.

Thank you, Im at your service,

Gopinath.

HpS - Jaya!!!! Hare Krsna. Do you read the KRSNA book (with others)?

Hare Krsna Maharaj, PAMHO, AGTSP,

Its great to see dedication of Brahmana and Vaisnava in you.

this is regarding node 11516

"What should we do?

In Braja only Krsna and Balarama kill demons - The rest of us can all chant, "Hare Krsna!!! Hare Rama!!", and Krsna and Balarama will take care of the situation, and, yes, they may empower us to deal with it."

I have personally experienced this even to being physically violent with insane visitors at times.

We will see that Krsn took physical charge of my senses like in Kurukshetra. Or that Krsna gives us unavoidable, clear intelligence how to do our part and we see simultaneously He does his part. We have had strong experience of this.

"Yes, in the beginning force may be necessary, physical or verbal, but unless it is done expertly, empowered by Krsna, then there will be a bad taste for everybody."

we are little perplexed with impressions in our mind by Mahabharat and other kings, whether they take charge of situation/controller. whether in Braja all we have to do is Hare Rama and Hare Krsna.

secondly can you elaborate on "Krsn took physical charge of my senses".

HpS - Not time to do it now. Too long to write. Maybe is some verbal situation!! Class!

suicide bomber

HpS - Better guided bomber!

All Glories to Srila Prabhupada,

Dear Guru Maharaja,

I came here to tell you that unfortunately for us Lila Sakti Devi Dasi left her body last night WITH 92 years old, and advanced alzheimer.

HpS - ASA - She was so great. We wondered what had happened to her. One time we came over from Santiago to VP on the bus and when we got of, three of us, we didn't know which way to go to get to here flat for the weekend.

Then some Dude, walks up ans sees us in Vaisnava dress and say, "You looking for Mama Lila-shakti", and we said, "Uh, yes... ", and he says, "Come with me, I show you. I show you."

Yet that is still the situation. She still is so great! Unfortunate for us but she has gone to excellent destination, no? Where is she now? What is she doing??

She was a dear devotee by all the community here in Chile.

Disciple of His Holiness Jayapataka Swami, she was a devotee who performed tireless service for Krishna, who welcomed and trained many devotees and devotees in the "Región of Valparaíso", and with her example of humility and compassion inspired many people on the path of Bhakti Yoga.

For many years she conducted a program in Valparaíso, inviting new people, with Bhagavad Gita readings and cooking delicious dishes for all the guests. This program was the place where many people met Krishna and where many devotees continued to cultivate their faith.

Doing fast numbers, one of her vartmana-pradaksaka disciples, Madhava Priyasakhi devi dasi, said to me that more or less there are 15 active devotees now that met Krishna Consciousness because of Lila Shakti devi dasi.

Even ourselves we went there with you several times. She appreciated you a lot. Thank her contact with a director of a school we spend several days in one school on one summer in 2007 I think. Very nice programs in Biblioteca Severin, Conference in one Centro Cultural, Harinamas, et al. All the devotees remembered that program a lot.

HpS - Yes!

ISKCON Chile official post: "Last night Lila Sakti left this world leaving behind a life full of service and Bhakti. We will remember her with much affection, love and admiration. "

Ananda Vardhana commented:

Devotee's treasure !!!!! Great and resplendent Krishna consciousness programs in Valparaíso !!!!!

Dozens of memories in my heart with your Prasadam and big heart !!!!!

Hospitable host for every lucky guest who came to her home, a perfect example of a Krishna temple.

Guru Maharaj Hanumat Presaka Swami has great appreciation for her.

My sterile eyes moisten, thinking that she represents that devotee who speaks little, and does much.

All glories to mother Lila Lila Sakti, maker of Devotees !!!!!

HpS- The little train used to climb the machine in front of her flat!!! With Tulasi on the balcony and beautiful altar.

So, please, Guru Maharaja, a lot of her vartmana-pradarsaka disciples requested from you, if possible, your blessings and good desires to her. Keep her in your holy prayers.

HpS - Why do you even ask!??? She was always admired and appreciated by us. We hope to meet her again, to preach in Valparaiso again!!!!

Regards,

Your servant Jagad Guru Das

Hare Krsna, Hare Rama

4.28PM. R(12).

Is unique being alone like this, but it does not bother us much.

You?

I guess if you are content in this lock-down you would be content in a coffin.

(If you had internet).

We see so many opportunities for Sankirtan.

Our eyes have reached a limit.

Nice letters today. Happy with today's class. COMMUNICATION BREAKDOWN with Bali-mardana Das! He was to be Chairman of our ASA Curriculum Development Committee!

Yet, we always go on with Daily SB Class and that is 90% of all success in Sastri Studies, no?

... . . . We have maybe 42-pages done in the current DTC(p) and we always feel that it is improving. Hare Krsna // Hare Rama. Viplavah :>> One more. Solaris will>>>> .

That's enough Kapi Dhvaja (Blog (NIOS (ASA-GBC)))!

Chant two rounds. 5.00PM make bath, laundry, travel to walk/talk with NgD and Dr. Desai.
