Hare Krsna Guru Maharaja.

Mis respetuosas reverencias

TlgaSP!

Respondiendo a Sus preguntas de mi carta anterior; la clase que dió el lunes 6 de julio, del Srimad Bhagavatam me gustó mucho. Una de las cosas hermosas que dijo ese día fue que la mirada de Krsna está en las flores.

Con respecto a mi familia, ellos estan bien. Mis hijos no salen de casa hace 4 meses, pero hemos tenido suerte y no se han desesperado tanto. Realizando tareas en casa, cantando juntos, ellos ven dibujos animados con horarios restringidos, y juegan mucho juntos, y nosotros también jugamos con ellos. Honestamente a mi me cuesta a veces jugar pues tengo muchas cosas que me preocupan y me cuesta cambiar el chip, pero los días que no tengo mucho que organizar las cosas fluyen mejor. Estoy adaptando 2 días a la semana para leer SB con Sukadeva. Y bueno, todas las noches leemos, sagradamente, el Krishna Book.

Tengo mucho que aprender como madre e intento hacer lo posible por educarlos, amarlos y entregarles lo mejor. Es una tarea difícil, llena de culpas y de desafíos. Es claro que si no tienes una infancia sana lo cargas en tu vida adulta. Así que aquí estamos tratando de no seguir los patrones aprendidos de nuestros padres.

Jagannatha ahora tomó mayor responsabilidad en ISKCON Chile, pues hará el servicio de presidente por un tiempo. Fue una difícil decisión familiar, pero esperamos que pueda aprender mucho de éste servicio y pueda ayudar a la comunidad de devotos, y bueno, saber sobrellevar ésta nueva etapa con sabiduría.

Jagannatha sigue con su trabajo y gracias a Krsna hemos estado todos bien de salud.

Eso Guru Maharaja.

Muchas gracias por Sus respuestas y por Sus preguntas.

Hare Krishna dear Guru Maharaja, How have you been? AGTSP PAMHO.

HpS - AGTSP!!!! When we are Krsna conscsious we are happy!

I wrote a letter like two months ago but, it hasn´t been published yet. I had a so called friend, he lives in Los Angeles, he says he knows you, he is quite agressive, he is Ritvik and wants to spread his ideas, he also has some friends in Modesto.

He was very upset at me because I posted photos from you in Facebook, he was saying rubbish. The other day you mentioned that you have enemies, I know how you had had problems with some godbrothers. So, keeping the good company of gentlement and good devotees is a most, sometimes it is hard to find them, but in the course of time you find out who deserves to be your friends, some are quite difficult to deal with.

HpS - We don't really have any enemies. We are usually successful in avoiding people who irritate us, and then we can see them more and more from a spiritual perspective. Ultimately we are all like bothers and sisters, so any destructive conflict is just an illusion. We do not have to become our enemies, enemy!🙂

I would like to hear from you some classes about the sanyasa order. I know this topic is in the seventh canto.

How is Hanuman and Nrisinhadeva + Prahlada doing?

HpS - We give them all a rub each day and offer prayers and incense, Arghya etc. Rather full Manasa puja each morning. Of course, whenever I think of Prahlada, I think of you.

I also got the mercy to have a Tulasi plant and even tough it is a baby, she is growing nicely.

HpS - Wow! I hear that first she likes association, then warmth, then sunlight, then water.

I always think about you guru maharaja, now it is more difficult to be closer due to the inumerable disciples, but all deserve to have your shelter and mercy.

HpS - There is no limit to intimacy on the spiritual platform, and on the material platform it is kind of superficial!

your foolish servant, Jagat Bandhu Jagannatha Swami dasa (Mexico) 11, 07, 20

HpS - Thank you for the letter. We aren't always able to answer all the letters. We look at the ones with the Kapi Dhvaja Priority Code (KDPC) from the "Letters to the Editor" section of the Kapi Dhvaja first!!

Hare Krsna gurudev .

AGTSP !!

Dandavat pranam at your lotus feet.

HpS - ASA -- Chrysathamum feet???

In my last letter you had asked about my life . I am currently chanting my 16 rounds , 4 regulative principles seems OK ( evening time had taken two sips of coffee - just the act of boiling the water had felt good- that's all ..will stop it by tomorrow most probably. ),

ASA Herbal tea is O.K.??? Boil water.

... worshiping the deities is fixed while listening to srimad bhagawatam , whole day trying to chant better or relate things with Krsna - need more vaco vegum.

Next plan is to regulate the day according to the various book reading . Like NOI , NOD , BG and SB ...like I saw you doing in my travel. Mangal aarti timing is still not up to standards ...but improving on right direction.

ASA - "Early to bed and early to rise, and you will be happy, wealthy and wise", Benjamin Franklin.

On duty front , have covid 9 screening and sample collection duty from 19- 25th of July in shift basis . Cases are on rise . But good time to realize that "I am not the body " and also how to react if death comes - as u said No Assisted ventilation ..even I plan to do that if it comes to that . Don't want to be drugged and forget Krsna completely.I hope my deities continue to get services after I leave the body .

This is practical demonstration of the various klesa described in bhagawatam .

Thank you so much for the association over start meeting and zoom . I am trying , please do not reject me completely .

Thank you gurudev for your intense help .

Hare Krsna

Your trying to be disciple .

Rturaj Krsna Das

Shillong , India

HpS - We are all trying to be Srila Prabhupada's disciple. Go ahead, go ahead, no? The progress on this path accumulates even eternally. You life will become more and more interesting and productive. You will get more and more relations in Sri Krsna Sankirtan.

How is your biological family?

"KDPC" Translation

Hare Krishna Gurudev,

Please accept my humble obeisances,

All Glories to Srila Prabhupada,

I would like to offer my translation service for your saturday morning lectures. Please kindly accept it. Although You don't need such a service, I would be the most benefited from it.

Thank you Gurudev, for making so much struggle to preach to us!! It melts our stone like heart, to see such an Endeavor in the service to Srila Prabhupada.

Your quarentined miscreant,

Nikunja Bihari das.

HpS - ASA - Esteemed Quarantined Miscreant,

Paoho & Bw! AgtSP!!! Thank you for your offer, but it seems our Spanish is good enough that it can be pretty well understood. When we translate there is a delay by the internet and the ideas flow differently, so we were thinking of doing either Saturday or Sunday Spanish or English. Eg. if Saturday is Spanish then Sunday will be English and vice-a-versa? O.K.? Of course Upendra Das presentation on Saturday would need translation.

Any mystical experience at New Govardhana?

KDPC: SOLARIS and COVID-19 VIRUS "Karuna-Virus"

Hare Krishna Gurudeva, pfanhr, TLGASP!! TLGAHpS!!

SOLARIS and COVID-19 VIRUS "Karuna-Virus"

ANALYSIS OF ITS IMPLICATIONS IN WORLD.

There is consensus among the members of the magazine about the importance of “SOLARIS” should offer a deep reflection about what this covid-19 pandemic means, which has strongly impacted whole humanity. Here is a summary of the first discussion on this topic: 

1.     Héctor Béjar started the dialogue talking about epidemiology concept. He mentioned this is neither the first nor the last pandemic that humanity faces, because it has always had and will have this type of events. Then he said that, since last year, the scientific community had evidence the virus was already active, despite this, this information was not disclosed in order to protect certain interests. 

In relation to the causes of the virus appearance, he mentioned it is very likely that it was caused by mankind abuse towards animals. What he finds ironic and absurd is there is a group of people who blame bats for this disease and not bad practices of humans, or the unnecessary and abusive consumption of animals that they carry out.

He said governments and binding institutions have not invited ethics to dialogue at time to analyze the causes of this pandemic. 

The facts show in imperative way that a change in life's organization and system is necessary, however, are we willing to change? He posed as a theme to develop "what is coming", that is, an analysis of how social relationships are currently developing and how they will be presented in the future. At this point he mentioned there are currents that propose as a solution "flock inmunity", that is to say, the strongest or "suitable" are going to be saved and the weak or "unsuitable" are not.

2.     Then Professor Hanumatpresaka Swami spoke, after greeting the assistants he began his intervention mentioning this is a world of dualities, for example, for there to be construction, first there must be destruction, and vice versa. Then he gave other examples to finally affirm that in all analyzes we must do not forget this is a temporary world. 

Then he argued this pandemic raises the need for at least 90% of the population must to live in villages and the necessity of a good relationship and communication with the city so that everything is properly attended, thus and only in this way generation of others pandemics could be avoided and be controlled when they arise.

 Finally he mentioned coronavirus, or karuna-virus pandemic as he calls it, alluding to the fact that this great problem is also a great opportunity is the central theme of humanity's material life but on a social level there is the theme of woman's role in the world. That is to say, on a material level he presented the virus issue and on a social level the role of Vaisnavis, so his proposal for the next meeting is called “Virus and Vaisnavis”.

3.     In his turn, Miguel Polo indicated we are not appreciating the problem appropriately both globally and systemically. He stated, at the beginning, during and after pandemic, what is surviving are highly harmful behaviors such as corruption. He also indicated societies that have survived pandemics are rural communities that they exist to this day. According to his analysis, next solution will be neither systematic nor individualistic. He maintains, the way in which we must respond is by offering ideas, reflections. He quotes a book in which it is predicted that the Buddha to come is not a person but a community. 

4.     In his turn Jagad Guru das (Javier Armijo) said, to the system, crisis word means living only for eating, since its definition of crisis is the inability of people to not be able to buy other things, slowing down economy. He recognizes this pandemic as the opportunity to establish a common ethical framework, in which all religions could participate. He reflected on the fact this pandemic is a unique moment. 

5.     Finally, Abhiram Thakur das (Alejandro Salazar) argued that this pandemic has created new categories at level of knowledgement: for example, "Virus-ethics" or "ethics during and after the pandemic", "Biopolitics", that is, relations between countries and communities, taking pandemic as the thematic axis. 

Then he reflected on how this pandemic has removed our veil in relation to the fact that we thought technology could “solve everything”. However, this pandemic shows we have been living deceived and all technology we have is not enough to solve a health issue of this magnitude. Then he proposed that current modernity is based on artificiality. Even, in this context, happiness concept is artificial since it is based on virtual and superficial things . 

At the end, all today's society turns around consumption. In other words, happiness and feelings have become artificial consumer objects. Actually, all social relationships already existed, what social networks like Facebook and WhatsApp do is simply put them on a digital platform, but they already existed, therefore, we should not be fooled or alienated. 

To understand the crisis, he quoted Blas Pascal who said: "Man's problems are due to the fact he doesn't like to be calm at home, but he likes to conquer the world." He agrees with Professor Hanumatpresaka Swami and Héctor Béjar stance, in the sense that, if we don't change our way of life, things will be getting even worse than already are. Finally, he mentioned in Lima it is estimated there are 2 million unemployed persons, which serves as a referential framework to understand how this pandemic is affecting the economy worldwide.

Next meeting was at 4 pm Sunday 19 July, dynamic is as follows:

First, Professor Hanumatpresaka Swami will present his exposition based on PP “Virus & Vaisnavi”, then Héctor Béjar will make comments, if any of attendees wish they can also present their comments, then they will consider what to do and what we can do to the future . How society can be or how society should be after this pandemic and take the challenge of assuming our responsibility.

We are waiting for your comments, thank you very much for the opportunity to generate this dialogue that is essential to impact the conscience of many people who are stunned, confused and very anxious at this moment, cause they are afraid about their own lives and they can't understand how to handle themselves under this circumstances we are currently living.

Hare Krishna Gurudeva, your insignificant servant, Abhiram Thakur das

SOLARIS y el VIRUS COVID-19 “Karuna virus” 

ANALISIS DE LAS IMPLICANCIAS EN EL MUNDO.


Existe consenso entre los miembros de la revista acerca de la importancia de que “SOLARIS” ofrezca una reflexión profunda sobre lo que significa esta pandemia del covid-19 que ha impactado fuertemente a toda la humanidad. A continuación, un resumen del 1er conversatorio sobre este tema:

1. Héctor Béjar inicio el dialogo hablando sobre el concepto de epidemiologia. Mencionó que esta no es ni la primera ni la última pandemia que afrontara la humanidad porque siempre ha tenido y tendrá este tipo de acontecimientos. Seguidamente dijo que, desde el año pasado, la comunidad científica contaba con evidencia de que el virus ya estaba activo, a pesar de ello, esta información no fue divulgada con el fin de proteger ciertos intereses. 

En relación a las causas de la aparición del virus, menciono que, es muy probable que este se produjo por el abuso del hombre hacia los animales. Lo que encuentra irónico y absurdo es que hay un grupo de personas que culpan de la enfermedad a los murciélagos y no a las malas prácticas de los humanos, ni al innecesario y abusivo consumo de animales que realizan.

Él manifestó que los gobiernos y las instituciones vinculantes no han invitado a la ética a dialogar cuando se analizan las causas de esta pandemia. 

Los hechos muestran de manera imperativa que es necesario un cambio en el sistema de vida, sin embargo ¿estamos dispuestos a cambiar? El planteo como tema a desarrollar “lo que se viene”, es decir un análisis de cómo se está desarrollando y cómo se presentara en el futuro las relaciones sociales. En este punto aludió que existen corrientes que plantean como solución “la salvación del rebaño” es decir de que los más fuertes o “aptos” se van a salvar y los débiles o “inaptos” no.


2. Luego hizo uso de la palabra el profesor Hanumatpresaka Swami, despues de saludar a los asistentes comenzó su intervención mencionando que este es un mundo de dualidades, por ejemplo, para que haya construcción, primero tiene que haber destrucción, y viceversa, luego dio otros ejemplos para finalmente afirmar que en todo análisis no debemos olvidar que este mundo es temporal. 

Seguidamente argumento que esta pandemia plantea la necesidad de que al menos el 90% de la población viva en aldeas y que haya una buena relación y comunicación con la ciudad de manera que todo este atendido, así y solo así se podría evitar la generación de otras pandemias y el control de esta. 

Finalmente menciono que la pandemia del corona-virus o karuna-virus como él lo llama, aludiendo a que este gran problema también es una gran oportunidad es el tema central de la vida material de la humanidad pero que a nivel social estaba el tema del rol de la mujer en el mundo. Es decir, a nivel material planteo el tema del virus y a nivel social el rol de las Vaisnavis, por eso su propuesta para el próximo encuentro se llama “Virus y vaisnavis”


3. A su turno, Miguel Polo indicó que no estamos apreciando el problema de manera apropiada tanto global como sistémicamente. Planteo que, al inicio, durante y posterior a la pandemia, lo que está sobreviviendo son los comportamientos altamente nocivos como la corrupción. Igualmente indico que las sociedades que han sobrevivido a las pandemias son comunidades rurales que existen hasta el día de hoy. De acuerdo a su análisis la solución que viene no será ni sistemática ni individualista. El sostiene que la manera en la cual debemos responder es ofreciendo ideas, reflexiones. Cito un libro en el cual se pronostica que el Buda que va a venir no es una persona sino una comunidad. 


4. A su vez Jagad Guru das (Javier Armijo) indico que, para el sistema, la palabra crisis significa vivir solamente para comer, ya que su definición de crisis es la incapacidad de las personas de no poder comprar otras cosas, desacelerando la economía. Reconoce a esta pandemia como la oportunidad para establecer un marco ético común, en el cual pudiesen participar todas las religiones. Reflexiono sobre el hecho de que esta pandemia es un momento único. 


5. Finalmente, Abhiram Thakur das (Alejandro Salazar) sostuvo que esta pandemia ha creado nuevas categorías a nivel de conocimiento: Como por ejemplo “Virus-ética” o “la ética durante y posterior a la pandemia”, “Bio-política”, es decir, las relaciones entre países y comunidades, teniendo como eje temático la pandemia. Luego reflexiono sobre cómo esta pandemia nos ha quitado el velo en relación a que pensábamos que la tecnología lo podía “resolver todo”. Sin embargo, la pandemia demuestra que hemos vivido engañados y que toda la tecnología que tenemos no alcanza para resolver un tema de salud de esta magnitud. Luego propuso que la modernidad actual esta basada en la artificialidad. Incluso, en este contexto, el concepto de felicidad es artificial ya que está basado en cosas que son virtuales y superficiales. Al final toda la sociedad actual gira en torno al consumo. Es decir que la felicidad y los sentimientos se han convertido en objetos de consumo artificiales. En realidad, todas las relaciones sociales ya existían lo que hacen las redes sociales como Facebook y WhatsApp es simplemente ponerlas en una plataforma digital, pero ya existía, por lo tanto, no debemos dejarnos engañar, ni enajenar. Para entender la crisis cito a Blas Pascal que dijo: “los problemas del hombre se deben a que no le gusta estar tranquilo en su casa, sino que le gusta conquistar el mundo”. El concuerda con la postura del Profesor Hanumatpresaka Swami y de Héctor Béjar, en el sentido de que, si no cambiamos de forma de vida, las cosas se van a poner peor de lo que están. Finalmente menciono que en Lima se calcula que hay 2 millones de desempleados lo cual sirve como marco referencial para entender cómo esta pandemia está afectando la economía a nivel mundial.

La próxima reunión será a las 4 pm, la dinamica es la siguiente:

Primero el profesor Hanumatpresaka Swami presentara su exposición en base a PP “Virus & Vaisnavi”, luego Héctor Béjar hace un comentario, si alguno de los asistentes desea también puede presentar sus comentarios, seguidamente se planteará que hacer y que se puede hacer para el futuro. Cómo puede quedar la sociedad o como debiese quedar la sociedad después de esta pandemia y tomar el desafío de asumir la responsabilidad que nos compete.

Esperamos sus comentarios, muchas gracias por la oportunidad de poder generar este dialogo que es fundamental para impactar en la consciencia de muchas personas que están aturdidas, confundas y con mucha ansiedad en estos momentos, ya que temen por su vida y no saben cómo manejarse en circunstancias como las que vivimos.
