Letters to the editor

Hemos tratado de responder todas las cartas que hemos recibido, pero con los viajes, las intensas responsabilidades de Sankirtan y la debilidad de carácter no hemos podido. Entonces, escríbanos nuevamente en el Blog, www.monkeywarrior.com, pero tenga mucho cuidado de seguir la etiqueta explicada en: http://jayarama.us/kd/lte.htm

Por favor acepte mis humildes reverencias a sus pies de loto.

Todas las glorias a Srila Prabhupada.

El mes pasado fue duro. Tuvimos días malos en nuestro sadhana y, por ende, en nuestra consciencia. Hemos recuperado esas rondas que no pudimos culminar algunos días. Ahora todo marcha mejor.

EL Kapi Dvaja nos llega y lo leemos cada que llega.

El programa de Bhakti vrksa sigue en marcha. Tenemos cosas que mejorar, pero en general fluye.

Nos han extendido la invitación nuevamente los devotos de Panamá para asistir durante las dos semanas previas a Ratha Yatra el mes de mayo. Por cuestiones de trabajo (trabajamos en una librería) todavía no sabemos si podremos asistir.

Sabemos que su salud no está del todo bien, oramos a Krsna y al Señor Nrsimha para que lo proteja y su salud mejore.

Su aspirante a discípulo Bhakta Hector.

Mañana, 9 de julio, programa con ISKCON Madrid. Acceso y detalles a continuación.

AGTSP paoho (TB/BW here!)

9.30AM. We are struggling with the material energy, our selfish attachments, at least as much as you all, maybe a little more (or less).

AgtSP! Four principles grossly observed in a strict fashion, but we do become overwhelmed by "peanut-butter and apples" when they stare us in the face and the pressure is on, unless we have a good arrangement to control ourselves (Monkey and Piggy [Mind and Body]).

So . . . yesterday was a very intense day with a lot of work and a lot of decisions and a lot of heat in the street, and we did do a GOOD job of it ... but we took three cups of sherbet rather than one and some hot milk at the end of the day ... and Brother Ass was rolling and tossing, from hoof to tail, with 'ner a wink of real sleep, and so we PUSHED to get up by 2.30AM but could only chant 10 to 15-minute rounds, with bodily energy low, and inflamed (Pitta imbalance) throat, and tried to pull through for SB class ... but in the end died.

We typed a Twitter notification but neglected to push the Send Button!

😴 😴 😴 REFRESHING NAP...

Up and fighting again!

We got a good Whatsapp from Srinivasa-acharya Das:

"[7:39 AM, 7/8/2020] Srinivasacarya Das: Hare Krishna Guru Maharaja, PAMHO AGTSP

[7:40 AM, 7/8/2020] Srinivasacarya Das: We are waiting for you. Doing some kirtan

[8:52 AM, 7/8/2020] Srinivasacarya Das: Guru Maharaja, several of us, English speaking devotees read a section from Krishna book Chapter 82 where Krishna teaches Gopis on ABAT and tells them to see Him in everything. Then I connected that with SB 2.1 through 2.3 and Lakshmana Prabhu and others shared their realizations as well

[8:53 AM, 7/8/2020] Srinivasacarya Das: I am assuming your internet is not working and you are doing fine. Please send me a word of your wall being when you get a chance"

As we explained, it was physical fatigue, not electronic flutter, and it was "well being" not "wall being" ie fell into a well, not crashed into to a wall. 😎

The Devil's Advocate: He didn't follow the regulative principles of hearing and chanting (NOI 3) strictly by missing SB!

Mary, Queen of Heaven (or Quan Yin, Bhoddhisatva {or Khadeejah, Mother of the Faithful [or Vrsabhanu Nandini]}): Yes, he stumbled, but he did not fall. He already read KRSNA book, "Deliverance of Mucukunda" and CC, "Lord Chaitanya in His Youth" before Mangala Arati, and NOD, "Qualifications for Becoming a Devotee" (and World Classical Literature) after Mangala arati. So now he should just look at his service priorities, make a Plan for today and get to work.

He has learned a bit and may yet become a real Goswami rather than a lower class American Goswami.

10.05AM - Post the link to this DTC on Twitter and a copy to Srinivasa-acharya Das, and Jaw Paw Paw!!

Vrndavana-Dhama-Mahimamrta

by Prabhoda-ananda Sarasvati

[trans. Kushakrata Das]

Shataka 15

73 I shall tell you a mantra that is hidden from all the Vedas and not manifested anywhere in the most confidential scriptures. When a person chants this mantra the great spiritual perfections come before his feet and the opulences of the Supreme Personality of Godhead stand in his hand.

74 For a person who chants this mantra there are no orders or prohibitions. A person who understands the dust of this mantra’s lotus feet purifies they who know the rules of the Vedas. This mantra is the sweetest nectar. It is the auspiciousness of all auspiciousnesses. It is filled with all limitless wonderful glory. It is the attainment of all attainments.

75 It is the ultimate goal of all goals. It is the wild bliss of all wild blisses. They say it is the secret of all secrets. Without thinking of anything else, day and night chant this mantra: Radha.

["Radhe", "Hare", no difference - S. P'pada, London, Radhastami.]

76 This mantra is a flood of sweetness churned from the sweetest nectars. It is a precious flood of the wild sweetness of the bliss of pure love. O fortunate one, who understands us? Who understands the meaning of this mantra that is a flood of bliss flowing into the heart?

Todas las Glorias a Srila Prabhupada

Todas las Glorias a UD, querido Gurumaharaja

About Speaker :

Hanumat-presaka Swami is an initiating spiritual master and disciple of His Divine Grace A. C. Bhakti Vedanta Swami Prabhupada. He grew up in California and graduated in psychology from the University of California in 1970, with a minor in biology and electrical engineering. He left his doctoral degree to go east. He took vows as a brahmachari from Srila Prabhupada in 1974 and reconfirmed those vows as a sanyasi (lifelong monk) in 1984. In addition to his deep internal austerity, study and teaching in Bengali Vaisnava Vedanta, since 1990 Hanumat Presaka Swami has developed an extensive program of external lecturing and studies of Vaishnava literatures. This has included work as associate director of the Bhakti Vedanta Institute.Maharaja is presently General Secretary for NIOS (North American Institute for Oriental and Classical Studies) in Tennessee and a regular lecturer with the Institute for Classical Oriental & Occidental Studies at the highly esteemed Ricardo Palma University in Lima, Peru. His interests increasingly turn more toward individual education techniques, introspection and meditation. His name, 'Hanumat-preṣaka' in Sanskrit means 'One who sent Hanuman as a messenger', i.e. Lord Rama". We are very fortunate to have maharaja association on July 05th.
