- “KDPC” - Spanish poetry and a little bit more

4 years, 11 months ago by Carlos Rold in Personal Sadhana Reports, Special Category A

Hare Krishna dear Maharaja !

Please accept my respecful obeisances...

All glories to Srila Prabhupada!

I just hope you are in good health or the best as is possible.

ASA - Do cockroaches have good health? Does Lord Brahma have cholera? ? . ?

I'm writing to you regarding one of your answers, 5 weeks ago approx., when I sent an attempt from a Bhaktivinoda poetry's translation:

https://monkeywarrior.com/detail/11283/

You said: "Save copy of the poem. Maybe work on the translation more. You can also write another poem in Spanish based upon the ideas."

So, I wrote a new one with a new lyrics, more personal, but trying to keep the original spirit of what I felt Bhaktivinoda wanted to transmit, and keeping the same verse structure as Bhaktivinoda's original. It goes in spanish at the end of this message. Please, accept it as an humble offering in this special Balarama Purnima day (in fact, night: full moon is hanging on the sky right now).

ASA - Moon, moon in the Sky, Do you see witches flying by?

I want to take this opportunity and let you know that I'm so happy working for Solaris again, this is very very important for me in every sense. So, thank you so much for give this opportunity to me and letting me try serving you using my skills... you are so merciful... The dynamic duo is again in the house and little monkey is back! 

Thank you so much for everything,

all glories to Srila Prabhupada !

Hare Krishna!

Your aspiring servant,

Carlos.

HpS - ASA --- We have been run over by a herd of rhinocerous today. Maybe 1000 with pearls in their ear ring stampeded this way.

Seven people called on the tele phone. 42-were in class today, the Hawaii, ballet...

Now we will continue with our search for Sita. We are sending out drones all over the universe.

We hope your song travels just as far. We have a lot of ground to cover. Journalism is the devotees best service. !!!! Hari Bolo!!!! Hari Bolo!!

Bh V Tha wrote pages of song BOOKS, what to speak of songs!!!! So much to translate??




​Canto al Alma del Saragrahi Vaishnava (Oda a Bhaktivinoda Thakur)

1. ¡Qué pobres aquellos 

Que pierden sus días

En alborozo sin sentido y alegría festiva!

Consciencias ocupadas para siempre

Por formas venenosas de líquidos alcohólicos.


2. Estallidos de cristales sobre la calle 

Que brillan y hechizan el mirar

De quienes se sienten atraídos

Hacia el abrazo de licor perdido 

Y entregan el corazón;

Esclavos del vino que nunca ves superar

Lo que ha sido llamado desgracia y deshonor.


3. ¿Acaso estaría el hombre destinado a ser

Un bruto en su actuar y sentir?

¿Será esa la suerte del que finalmente creyó 

Ser el dueño de todo lo que le rodea?

¿Apartarse de la intuición y del sentido común?


4. La gloria del hombre tiene significado 

Cuando relata con gracia cómo alcanzar lo Divino,

El hombre está hecho para vivir y amar

Aquel hermoso abrazo que afirma desde el Cielo.


5. Vehículo de carne nuestra desgracia

Cárcel mortal que encadena

El alma, 

Por muy antiguos errores ha sido confinada

Y dentro de un cuerpo 

Debe intentar elevarse de nuevo.


6. ¿De qué sirve este juego infantil?

Nunca ganamos, nunca disfrutamos,

Realmente nunca lo alcanzamos...

Y decae dentro de cien años

Una rosa marchita que se lleva el viento.


7. Ni tan solo un rosado matiz queda

De esta y la otra vida 

Ir y venir, antes y después, 

Dentro y fuera del tiempo, para nada;

Alma solitariamente independiente se le ve pasar

Con el bien y el mal sobre la mente.


8. ¡Eco profundo se escucha rugir

La voz inmemorial del pensamiento! 

¡Qué feroz se ve su aspecto!

Envueltos en asombro divino 

Nosotros leemos los Libros Sagrados de la Naturaleza.


9. Para el hombre su vida es un problema oscuro

Cortinas y humo de izquierda a derecha

Y no se encuentra aquel alma

Que venga a decirnos 

Lo que existe más allá de nuestra vista.


10. Y entonces una voz, reconocida y tan profunda, 

Sentimiento que aparece intenso dentro de nuestro interior;

¡Ser Humano! ¡Eres un alma eterna!

La muerte nunca te podrá disolver.


11. Para ti, el Ser Supremo en lo alto 

Eternamente mantiene

Una reserva de felicidad, allá arriba,

Sin tiempo ni final; 

Tú eres el que anhela Su más puro amor.


12. ¡Oh mi amor eres Tú! 

Poder benigno que hechiza

Ahora derrito mi alma ante Dios

¿Cómo poder describir con palabras de la tierra

Aquel suave y expansivo sentimiento?


12. Disfrute, tristeza, 

¿Qué más de lo que hereda la carne?

El alma que duerme 

Finalmente concluye que puede participar.


13. Y entonces, mis amigos, para qué tal disfrutar

De qué lamentarse por todos los demás;

Las mujeres, el vino y la carne de las bestias,

No encontrarás ahí jamás el amor que anhelas.


14. Tu naturaleza es amar a tus hermanos

Y devolver tu corazón a Dios

Solo Él sabe que tu esfuerzo ha sido sincero;

Testigo cierto y claro.


15. Olvida el pasado que duerme

Y deja de soñar con el futuro

Actúa siempre en el tiempo donde estás

Y el avance llamarás.


16. No digas esas frías ideas sin razonamiento 

Que el alma se crea espontánea 

Y que será destruida;

Las inertes reglas mecánicas de la Naturaleza Material.


17. Solo el Ser Supremo entiende

Por qué nos dio la vida y todo

El alma puede extinguir

O conectarla con los placeres elevados

Su promesa eterna cumplir.


18. Así que tú, Alma, 

Empuja tus pasos hacia adelante

Lucha contra todo acto malvado 

Odio y Lujuria son sus soldados 

¡Haz de ser un héroe de verdad!


19. Mantén tu posición original 

En el mundo espiritual

Tan firmemente como puedas 

Nunca dejes que la ilusión te derrote

¡Aguanta alma héroe!


20. Alma del Śaragrāhi Vaiṣṇava

Tú eres el ángel más hermoso

Tú que guías,

Guíame a Vrindavan

Y dime el poder de Su espíritu.


21. Allí mi alma descansa 

Una vez libre de la materia 

Sobre los brazos infinitos de mi amante

Paz eterna y amor trascendental

Son la magia de mi canto.

 












DTC We(5)

4 years, 11 months ago by hps in DTC

Srila Prabhupada gave us the book "KRSNA, The Supreme Personality of Godhead". In the original big size it was especially wonderful. The letters were 13.5pt. The drawings by Jadurani Devi Dasi (?) were 'psychedelic'. We didn't know devotees or the Temples, but the pictures were from another world.

We would read one sentence over and over again, until it was a complete icon, meditation.

=-=-=-=

"Once upon a time there was a King named Satrajit who lived within the jurisdiction of Dvaraka dhama..."

=-=-=-=

This story, this process, drives us mad.

Impose

a

self

quarantine.

Don't go out. Don't look at people. Just your glance can contaminate them. They will become mad also. -0-0-0- The Kingdom of God is for none but the Completely Dead. -0-0-0- A material body cannot stand such animation!!!

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??

Hare Krishna Gurudeva

All glories to Srila Prabhupada

Obeisances

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?

Your Clown Servant

HpS - ASA --- "Udilo aruna..." is nice!


KDPC - "A True Warrior on the Front Lines" won first place

4 years, 11 months ago by sugopiradha in Personal Sadhana Reports

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?

https://iskconnews.org/devotee-children-spread-kindness-through-their-art-during-pandemic,7446/

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.
