Sus aspirantes a sirviente, Vrsabhanu Nandini dd & Ambarisa Maharaja das

P/d: I want to share some comments to the channel:

Was most kind of you to share your realizations and applications of Martial art fundamentals. Taking the essence of your teachers and making a fusion of Defense, Sustance, Offense and a splash of Continance. After all, these bodies require maintenance, so we should exhaust their potency then move on. Thank you for your most valuable time.

“Really nice work, thank you for posting. I don't have internet at home so I miss the meetings there but this is perfect and we can go back to it many times over in "spiral education" mode. Nice to have Maharajas association like this. AGTSP !”

Haré krshna à todos siento mucho gusto en encontrar al maharash lo conocí hace algunos tiempo ayer mire su página y me siento muy contento. Que krishna le siga dando salud y larga vida y también le de todas las glorias.

HpS - ASA - Thank you so much. We are learning how to improve our communication skills here also. All this has eternal influence on our eternal service. BE A BETTER CABBAGE IN GOLOKA!

I think we should not upload everything. I am trying to do final lectures on certain topics eg. Bhaktivedanta Library. Soon we will have a Cosmology Lecture for Aravinda Das and we will try to make that a consolidation of previous ideas also.

Very best wishes for 16/4!!! and your Castle in the forest! Hope your Father is super happy with his Sankirtan also!

Hare Krishna maharaja

Por favor, acepte mis más humildes y respetuosas reverencias

Todas las glorias a Srila Prabupada

Quisiera contarle un poco acerca de mi presente.

Este año 2020, me propuse cantar las 16 rondas todos los días, y gracias a Krishna lo estoy logrando. A veces me quedan algunas que las recupero al otro día…

HpS - No deseas nada mas! La perfection de la vida si siguien los 4-principios simultaneamente bajo la autoridad de Srila Prabhupada!

Siguiendo lo 4 principios bastante bien.

HpS - Jaya! La bruja está gruñendo y rechinando los dientes.

No intoxicación (solamente tomo mate), alimentación estricta lacto-vegetariana desde hace ya varios años, ofreciendo los alimentos. No juegos de azar. Tratando de seguir celibato pero es difícil. No estoy casado y no estoy en pareja en este momento. No creo que mi posición sea la de un brahmacari, pero en este momento es lo que está pasando.

HpS - Ahh! 80% por 100%. La Bruja aun esta luchando, pero si continua va a ver que sus apegos disminuen....

Desafortunadamente, aún no sé cuál es asrama correcto y sincero para mí. Qué posición (brahmacari o grhasta) beneficia de mejor manera mi evolución espiritual...

HpS - Brahmacari para un tiempo para apreciar el placer ilimitado disponible en la plataforma tracendental, y entonces Grhasta, maybe para dejar los detalles de apego del corozon. Puede ser casado con Santa Rosa de Lima.

El camino espiritual hacia Krishna siento que marcha bastante bien.

Gracias a Krishna, en el barrio donde vivo hace poco tiempo comenzamos a utilizar el salón del "Radha-Krishna Mandir" y eso ayuda para regular mejor los horarios. Mangala arati con los devotos y japa grupal.

También “Bhagavatam sanga” cada 15 días (actualmente canto 3 capítulo 28). Mi servicio es grabar audios de cada capítulo para que los devotos puedan escuchar.

También repasando los cantos 1 y 2 de SB.

Cursando Bhakti Sastri online en “Cultura del bhakti”. Actualmente capítulo 7 del Bhagavad Gita.

También el curso de discípulos con ISKCON Buenos Aires.

Con los devotos del barrio la idea es juntarnos semanalmente a cantar kirtan e invitar gente de la zona.

Mi servicio, como me dedico a la distribución de los libros de Srila Prabhupada, es invitar gente y llevar una base de datos de las personas invitadas, seguimiento, etc.

Realmente, desde que conocí a Srila Prabhupada (y a Krishna y a los devotos, hace poco más de 4 años, mi vida cambio mucho. Siento que ahora mi vida tiene un sentido.

Gracias maharaja por el contacto.

Un saludo afectuoso

HpS - Adelante. Pronto puede seguir todo pefecto. Es como un bebe esforzando caminar. Cayendo, cayendo, pero su trasero es gruezca, entonces no gran problem y mama esta cerca [todas las glorias a las mamas!]. Y entonces caminando!

Todas las glorias a Srila Prabhupada!

Todas las glorias a Usted gurudeva

Por favor acepte mis reverencias.

Soy Lila-sukhi dd, 28 años,.Bs As, Argentina.

Espero que esta carta lo encuentre bien.

HpS - TlgaSP!!! Pfanrh..... Muy bien oir de Vd. Tengo dolor del trasero, ojos, espalda, garganta, miedo de monstros.... y Vd??? Pero hay deleite (?) en la corazon! La unica felizidad en esta mundo es ser capaz hacer austeridades, morir, para KRSNA!!

Quiero empezar pidiéndole disculpas por haber demorado en contactarme, y tambien disculparme por mis fallas, que a veces son muchas.

HpS - Si, los hadas nos informan!

Mi hija Govinda ya esta por cumplir 3 años,

ASA - De Prasadam y sonido tracendental!

. . . es una nena muy saludable y me hace feliz dedicarle mi tiempo. Lilananda, su papá vive a 400 km de nosotras, suele viajar cada dos o tres meses a verla. Prácticamente la crío yo sola, repartiendo mi tiempo con ella y el trabajo. Le gusta ver las ilustraciones de luz del bhāgavata y pide que se lo lea. También hablamos de pasatiempos de Krsna book.

Mi sadhana ha mejorado mucho. Me conecto por las mañanas a cantar mis rondas y luego me quedo a la clase de SB que Madhu Mangala das brinda por zoom (hay que aprovechar los tiempos de cuarentena y aislamiento).

HPS - ASA -- Super!

Últimamente me sentía mal con mi vida espiritual, no estaba encontrando entusiasmo ni alegría, y eso me apenaba mucho guru maharaja. Sentía que estaba fallando como devota, como discípula.

HPS - No hay opcion. Bien o mal, tenemos que continuar como podemos, y paso por paso va a ser un resultado.

Hace un tiempo vengo siguiendo la prédica de Krsna west en buenos aires. Y me sume a los encuentros y programas (siempre por zoom) y de repente me vi tomando un rol activo, siendo parte de la prédica. Estoy muy feliz con ese servicio, y quiero pedirle sus bendiciones para poder seguir haciéndolo. Tenemos un grupo de gente nueva, unas 20 personas que se acercaron a conciencia de krishna y están cantando sus rondas con nosotros y asistiendo a clase de SB y de BG.

HpS - Muy bien! SS Hrdayananda Gos participa personalment a veces?

Me siento útil, siento que estoy siendo un instrumento en este camino, que mi vida espiritual está encontrando sentido.

Junto con otros devotos vamos a cursar bhakti sastri con Parampadam das y también tomar cursos de liderazgo con él, para poder mejorar y profundizar la prédica.

Mi mayor deseo es poder servirlo gurudeva, y quiero poder llevar conciencia de krishna a cada rincón, incluso en época de covid y aislamiento.

Nada puedo lograr sin sus bendiciones ni instrucciones gurudeva.

Gracias por las clases de la gira argentina, realmente sentí que Usted estaba acá.

su eterna sirviente y bienqueriente,

Lila-sukhi devi dasi.

HpS - No esta mencionando nombre de su hija! Pero cuidado tambien, por que hay cuentas en las Veda describiendo como nuestras peores enimigos llegan como nuestras hijos para causar pena a nosotros.

Eso es el mundo material!!!!

Tenemos que entender uno a otro profundo.

Hare Krishna dear Maharaja!

AGTSP AGTHPS PAMHO

I hope you are as better as is possible... what about your allergy?

HpS - ASA -- It is a great honor to hear from you. AGTSP!!! Our energy is good. Our disease/old age is progressing is balance. Allergy really dropped to 1% when we took more control of our diet and started more exercise. Still, yes, for one, few, days it was FUERTE!!

How is Rodrigo's family.

We are seeing our visit to their Kiosko.

I'm fine, but with a laryngitis due to a sudden change of temperature I suffered on Monday by night for one hour approx (I'm no longer anymore that indestructible young man of 20 years ago); anyway, maybe I never be fine at all in my whole ambits of life, you know, material world, kali yuga, karmic reactions... but Krishna is so good with me, He is so nice... also as you are... my life is going better and better since I met you...

HpS - ..and ours since we met you! Hope we travel together for a long distance more! Where are we going??

I'm writing just to let you know that I keep trying everyday with wikipedia. They are the most demanding people I have ever met in my whole life (even more than my ex wife!), so much so that it is easier for me to follow the 4 regulative principles than satisfice wikipedia requirements!

HpS - Very interesting. We have lost the handle on our notes of suggested changes by Dr. Samaresha. The birth date is wrong for one thing. When you finish it we will let him know who did it! You will be able to see Srila Prabhupada's Calcutta! He used to play football against Bhakti-svarupa Damodara Swami when they were both in University of Calcutta. They didn't know that for many years and one day they suddenly realized it: So you are the Manipuri Rocket!! Oh, and you are the Bengali Crocodile!!!

I had to ask for help to a closely friend, he is a hacker and works in a very important enterprise of data security, digital safing [security?], etc. I try to not spend the whole day in front of the screen, pc or mobile phone, just because I don't like it at all, but I have to do it anyway. So, this friend has helped me a lot, and he can do it because his work is precisely spend all day and all night in front of the screen handling the mouse and the keyboard. He has creating wiki accounts with different IP addresses, and wiki police discover us always, they are really the best. We were forced to do this because they never unblock my wiki account, and they blocked the first wiki account that my friend created to upload the biography. Later, we upload the new text that you revised, and they rejected again this time because we were using calificative adjectives, they only want neutral texts, so, I rewrited the text and eliminate every single calificative adjective, and they rejected it again wihout a precise reason, but saying that they not knowing us like wiki editors. So, my friend is editing another wiki texts and, besides, it seems like is because there are no references from the books and the information we say about Professor Samaresh. I have spend time searching on the web, and only found 2 Amazon links, but we cannot publish this links in wikipedia, they don't promote commercial stuffs. I found just one link I think will serve.

https://www.amazon.com/Pracyaprajnapradipa-Professor-Samaresh-Bandyopadhyay-Felicitation/dp/B00WJ4SAIO 

https://www.amazon.com/Thoughts-Synthesis-Science-Religion-Singh/dp/8190136909

http://www.bibangalore.org/uploads/1/4/4/3/14433808/sep-oct_2018.pdf

So, please, I need more time, and also more info and references, but they are not available in the web. I have realized that Professor Samaresh ir really a living legend, because he is very famous among the world of scholars of indology, but he is such a mystery into the internet world. This is personal to me now, wikipedia won't beat me, I just want to post the bio. For the meantime, we will do another new try uploading the spanish text and later an english new one that I wrote a few a hours ago.

Thank you very much for the opportunity you give me to try to do something for you.

HpS - AGTSP. Rest a little and I will try to get more more references. Please keep reminding me!

Your aspiring servant,

Carlos Rold

HpS-ASA --- Your aspiring servant. Are you going to move to a village and grow potatoes, corn and beans with devotees? Karuna virus go away, come again another day!

Guy Gismo PhD (Doctor of Phallocracia) aka Uncle Gismo,

Is an Extra Terrestrial being from Warp World Nine (WW9).

He came to Earth some years back when his space ship crashed in the Pacific Ocean and Monkey and Piggy just happened to be passing by in their newly acquired sailboat, Allah's Bold Cruiser.

He immediately took command of the ship and crew and has been a dominating figure in the Anjana Suta Academy ever since.

He is ASA Science Officer, President of the ASA Civil Deadman's Club and Chairman of the ASA Supreme Undifferentiated Absolute Commando. The ultimate managing authority of the ASA.

=-=-=-=

He describes that his world, WW9, is a plane, and planet, [kind of like cigar and cigarette] just like this world . . . only different.

There is an ISKCON there.

=-=-=-=

He has observed that in The European Heaven:

1. The British are the police,
2. the Germans are the mechanics,
3. the French are the lovers,
4. the Italians are the cooks and
5. the Swiss are the judges.

In The European Hell:

• The Germans are the police,
• the British are the cooks,
• the Swiss are the lovers,
• the French are the mechanics and
• the Italians are the judges.

=-=-=

Focusing on French poets he has heard with interest the phrases:

• No man can sink so low that some dog or some women won't love him.
• No one ever finished a poem (or Power-point Show?). They just stopped working on it.
• Everyone should be allowed to talk to himself, as long as he proves to be amusing.
• I would rather live as if there was a God and find out their isn't, than live as if there wasn't one and find out there is. (Camus<Pascal)

He also heard with great enlightenment that one time, in WW9, one ISKCON French Sannyasi had a fall down and married his Brahmacarini secretary.   Two new French Bhaktas in the B'cari Ashrama were talking about it, and one of them said , "Srila Prabhupada said that if a Sannyasis goes back to Grhastha Ashrama and gets married, it is like a dog eating his own vomit!!!!".  🤨

"... and the other French Brahmacari said, "Ahhhh, yes . . . but look at the quality of the vomit!" 💪💪👍

The first nodded and said with some contrition, "Ahhh, yes. It is a fact. It is a fact".
