Classes to ISKCON Chile - Prabhupada's Vyasa Puja & Radhastami

Hare Krishna Dear Guru Maharaj,

My report is a quite delay like my whole life is a delay in some many ways.

I'm a messenger of the new managers of ISKCON Chile and they want to know if you could give the lecture to the followers of ISKCONCL in social media on (at, in?) August 12th in the evening. Probably, we are already delayed asking you this now, excuse us.

HpS - That is Srila Prabhupada's Appearance Day, no? What time? We need USA telephone number to connect! So nice!!

And the other invitation is considering your suggestion to have a special program for Radhastami. In that case, we thought to invite you along with Murti Murti from Buenos Aires (she agrees so much) and Vishaka devi dasi (Yadubhara's wife) to August 25th evening - Radhastami program (definitely to everyone this time). Of course, this event would be for the whole Latin American with previous registration.

In this case, it would be similar to the last "Día Internacional de la Mujer Vaisnava" with Rukmini devi dasi and Malati devi dasi (im editing the last version of the video). This one had a very powerful impact, like you predicted, because it was a good chance to start a massive interchange between north and south, English and Spanish.

For example, other programs only for spiritual souls inside women bodies and retreats with Prabhupada disciples, have been organized with very good results. My wife have been there in some of them, we recommended Nitya Kishori to translate too, and Carolina said that a lot of Latin lady devotees have been very happy with a lot of "aha moments".

I have too much to tell you but is not urgent. For now, We would appreciate if you can let us know if your calendar is available for these two dates.

Thank you for your efforts and devotion. We are trying to follow your steps, but in my case in a very slow rhythm, I think.

Your servant

Jagad Guru Das

HpS - 25th also sounds O.K. but..... same thing..... we need USA telephone num, num, number.

Srila Prabhupada said, that sometimes, slow to come, also means slow to go. We make fundamental progress. Slow but deep also. How is The Anandavardana Das tele-novela??? He is going to be dangerous when he wakes up!

Narotttama??

I want to ask for your advice, I want to start sharing on my YouTube channel different kirtans, with different rhythms and on the other hand, start sharing songs based on the songs of the acaryas, as you advised me and just as Prabhupada did with J.H.

What songs should I start with?

Hare Krishna Guru Maharaja,

Please accept my most humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada. Life and the struggle with Maya go on. I beg for your blessings for some determination so I may follow your instructions and move forward on this path back to godhead.

HpS - ASA -- Hare Krsna! Hare Rama! We are attached to some bad habit and then we replace it with a less bad habit and suffer the pain of letting go. Then we do it again, and again, and again, and then one day..... we have no more bad habits!!

The movie "A True Warrior on the Front Lines" won first place in the ISKCON News Kindness Pandemic contest. I received a $150 Amazon gift card as a prize. I would like to offer the gift card for Lord Narasimhadeva's service. Is it okay if I forward the claim code to your email Guru Maharaja?

Your insignificant servant,

Sugopi Radha Devi Dasi

HpS - Can you spend it for Lord Nrsmha Deva? I know that is more austerity, but it would be very nice. Tell us how you invested it?!!!!! Very nice.

We can take the stories in SB and then put them into modern context.

[KDPC] Sadhana & preguntas

4 years, 9 months ago by nicole_silva in Personal Sadhana Reports

Dear Maharaja, please accept my sincere obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada!!!

I hope that you already feel better about indigestion and your health in general. I keep praying to Krsna and Nrsimhadeva for yout well-being.

Maharaja, your response to my previous letter was wonderful. Thank you very much for all your encouraging and enlightening words. They helped me understand many things.

My sadhana has been fine. There are times when I feel like my rounds are not adequate. I must pay more attention to them. Sometimes I find it difficult to focus on the names of Krsna. I found a way to pay more attention to my japa (sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't). Still, "the mind is restless, turbulent, stubborn, and very strong ... and to subdue it is more difficult than controlling the wind." Every moment trying to improve.

Since January of this year, Tulasi Maharani came to my home, and I have tried to serve her in the best possible way. But now, there is a fungus that is attacking her, and I am doing my best to provide her the best care. I find it hard not to feel attached to her, and it hurts me a lot to see her suffering. Still, I continue to do arati and occupy their leaves to offer to Krsna. I hope that with time it improves her condition.

Japa singing in a group on Mondays goes very well. Every week more people come in, and we connect with the maha mantra for an hour. Being able to be a channel to deliver Srila Prabhupada's teachings (trying) to others is beautiful. I am very grateful to be engaged in that way in service.

I wanted to tell you that I am in Bhagavad-Gita, Srimad Bhagavatam, Krsna Book and Nectar of devotion book clubs. I really like reading, and now, thanks to "Karuna Virus", I have been able to take the time to study. I hope to have a better understanding of the science of Bhakti in order to serve the devotees, you, Srila Prabhupada and Krsna in the best way. Based on this, can I present my concerns and doubts that appear from reading in future letters?

HpS - Yes... You can see how many letters we have and then just adjust your questions in terms of that. Also, you will see that many of your questions will probably be answered in other letters.

All this world "calamity" has suited me very well. The most important thing was to be able to connect to FMP every morning and have your association and the devotees. I thank you immensely for your mercy, Maharaja.

I hope I can serve you in a better way every day.

May you have a very good day, afternoon and night, and may Radha and Krsna protect you infinitely.

Eternally grateful to you

Sincerely

Nicole Silva, aspiring servant.

(Ps: ¡Happy Balarama Purnima! Sorry about my english. I used google translate and my little knowledge. I hope it was understandable 🙌)

HpS - It is very nice. You just have to write in such a way that you think the robot will understand. You seem to have done that perfectly!

Obeisances

As you asked me, now I am writing you my sadhana report.

Gurudeva, 2 days ago I put into practice something that I had never done in the temple under normal conditions. I was advised to have 9 hours of rest, knowing that the hours that rest before 00:00 are worth two.

I fell asleep at 8:30 p.m. and woke up at 2:00 a.m. This has been amazing, I have been able to sing 14 rounds before mangala arati and everything has changed, my perception of things is clearer and safer, I have been able to put myself in the mode of goodness, but as the hours pass, I begin to identify myself more with the body, the mind and the situations.

Before doing this, I was waking up at 3.00 or 3.15. I recently integrated reading a little before I started singing, and it's very good, no more than 15 minutes. This schedule has allowed me to sing between 1 and 6 rounds, depending on the situations in the morning.

On the other hand, the standard that I always had was to get up at 4.00 and when the mode of ignorance is too much, sometimes I got up a few minutes later. The problem with this modality is that I was late to mangala arati.

As for the rounds, I hardly complete them before 10, only on special occasions is that I have sung rounds before lunch, and very rarely in the afternoon, after lunch.

With the new sadhana I can finish my rounds calmly before 5.30, I beg you and Krishna to allow me to keep this sadhana, it is a great experience!

HpS - ASA - Jaya!!! Hare Krsna!!!

Lately I have been able to eat what is necessary and necessary, I lost weight, since all the stress and anxiety made me "take refuge in the prasadam", I ate a lot, and my stomach showed it. Now I'm fine, I hope I don't get malnourished hahaha, as necessary and fair, I have a taper that helps me regulate the amount I consume.

In the past I have been able to regulate my appetite, but as time goes by again comes a wave in which I eat too much. Instability.

As for reading, I spent many weeks studying little, generally 30 minutes, and there were days when 15 minutes. I always read the Bhagavad gita daily. I must confess that there was a day when I didn't read anything. That was months ago. Bad experience.

I am currently reading Srimad Bhagavatam for 1 hour ideally and in parcels, at different times I am reading other books, 5 to 15 minutes each: Nectar of devotion, Bhagavad gita and Upadesamrita. Besides I also read a book by SS Praladhananda Swami, about health and the book Vaisnava Compassion by Satsvarupa Swami, the latter was recommended to me to do a good administrative job.

At night I read the Krishna Book in English for a few minutes, and sometimes I also read the science of self-realization in English but at other times to learn a little more about the language.

I try to learn new words in English, it costs me, as well as learning verses in Sanskrit. I am also beginning to learn the songs of the temple with their meanings, it is a sacrifice, my mind is very vague, it retains for short times, but I apply memorization techniques to achieve it. Music helps me remember.

I practice a little pranayama, yoga and self-massage, to regulate my nervous system, I also have a diary where I write down my experiences and I also draw on the same sheet, then I share the drawing on instagram. I write poetry when I can tweeter. At night I play some music in a scattered way.

I have finished the administration course that I was doing online, now I want take a communication course and also Bhakti Sastri if it is possible.

I continue with my service of the magazine and helping in the area of ​​the communication department. In the temple I help with various cleaning and cooking. Soon the deities will come to the temple, then I will cook them directly.

PS: Misra Bhagavan das returned to the US on July 11, currently in the temple is Bh Eloy, P Vasudeva, P Govinda Damodara, P Sebastián, M Daniela and M Phyllis. In our commune of Santiago the quarantine still continues.

My obeisances

HpS - Wow! Such a long letter, but very nice!!! You need a superman suit! Our respects to the other devotees. Interesting that the Misra-bhagavan Das was able to fly back to USA. He is such a unique person. He doesn't give up. Inspite of so many challenges from his senses and mind, he distributes books!!!!!

YOur Sadhana seems great.... just go on. Always remember that you are a person and Krsna is a person. He is always changing!!!

Como usted me pidió, ahora le escribo mi reporte de sadhana. 

Gurudeva, Hace 2 días que puse en práctica algo que nunca había hecho en el templo en condiciones normales. Se me aconsejó tener 9 horas de descanso, sabiendo que las horas que se descansan antes de las 00:00 valen por dos. 

Me he dormido a las 20.30 y despertado a las 2.00. Esto ha sido asombroso, he podido cantar 14 rondas antes de mangala arati y todo ha cambiado, mi percepción de las cosas es más clara y segura, me he podido situar en la modalidad de la bondad, pero al pasar las horas, comienzo a identificarme más con el cuerpo, la mente y las situaciones. 

Antes de hacer esto, me estaba despertando a las 3.00 o 3.15. He integrado hace poco el leer un poco antes de comenzar a cantar, y es muy bueno, no mas de 15 minutos. Este horario me a permitido cantar entre 1 y 6 rondas, dependiendo de las situaciones en la mañana. 

Por otro lado, el estándar que siempre tuve ha sido levantarme a las 4.00 y cuando la modalidad de la ignorancia es demasiado, aveces me he levantado unos minutos después. El problema de esta modalidad es que llegaba tarde a mangala arati. 

En cuanto a las rondas difícilmente no las cumplo antes de las 10, solo en ocasiones especiales es que he cantado rondas antes del almuerzo, y muy pocas veces en la tarde, después de almuerzo. 

Con el nuevo sadhana puedo terminar mis rondas tranquilamente antes de las 5.30, ruego a usted y a Krishna que me permitan mantener este sadhana, ¡Es una experiencia genial!

Últimamente he podido comer lo justo y necesario, bajé de peso, ya que todo el estrés y ansiedad me hicieron “refugiarme en el prasadam”, comí muchísimo, y mi estómago lo demostraba. Ahora ya estoy bien, espero no desnutrirme jajaja, como lo justo y necesario, tengo un taper que me ayuda a regular la cantidad que consumo. 

En el pasado he podido regular mi apetito, pero al pasar el tiempo nuevamente viene una oleada en que como en demasía. Inestabilidad. 

En cuanto a la lectura estuve muchas semanas estudiando poco, generalmente 30 minutos, y hubieron días en que 15 minutos. A diario siempre leo el Bhagavad gita. Debo confesar que hubo un día en que no leí nada. Eso ya fue hace meses. Mala experiencia. 

Actualmente estoy leyendo 1 hora el Srimad Bhagavatam idealmente y parceladamente, en diferentes horarios estoy leyendo otros libros, de 5 a 15 minutos cada uno: Nectar de la devoción, Bhagavad gita y Upadesamrita. A parte también leo un libro de SS Praladhananda Swami, sobre salud y el libro Compasión Vaisnava de Satsvarupa Swami, esté último se me recomendó para hacer un buen trabajo administrativo. 

Por las noches leo el Krishna Book en inglés unos minutos, y a veces también leo la ciencia de la autorrealización en inglés pero en otro horario para ir aprendiendo un poco más del idioma. 

Intento aprender nuevas palabras en ingles, me cuesta, como también aprender versos en sánscrito. También estoy comenzando a aprenderme las canciones del templo con sus significados, es un sacrificio, mi mente es muy vata, retiene por cortos tiempos, pero aplico técnicas de memorización para lograrlo. La música me ayuda a recordar.

Practico un poco de pranayama, yoga y automasaje, para regular mi sistema nervioso, además tengo un diario donde voy anotando mis experiencias y también dibujo en la misma hoja, luego el dibujo lo comparto por instagram. Escribo poesía cuando puedo en tweeter. En la noche toco un poco de música a manera de dispersión. 

Ya terminé el curso de administración que estaba haciendo de manera online, ahora quiero a tomar uno de comunicación y también Bhakti Sastri.

Sigo con mi servicio de la revista y ayudando en el área del departamento de comunicación. En el templo ayudo con limpieza varias y cocinar. Pronto vendrán las deidades al templo, luego les cocinaré directamente a ellas. 

PD: Misra Bhagavan das retoró a EE.UU el 11 de Julio, actualmente en el templo está Bh Eloy, P Vasudeva, P Govinda Damodara, P Sebastián, M Daniela y M Phyllis. En nuestra comuna de Santiago todavía sigue la cuarentena.
