Hare Krishna Maharaj 

Pamho. 

How are you managing in these circumstances. Sorry I haven't communicated much. Read Prahalad prayers which is just fantastic. 

Pray for Lord Mercy on all of us

Respects, Hari Bol, Rknd

Hare Krsna, Prabhu et al,

We are struggling to be pure devotees! We have been in Murfreesboro for weeks now.

For the benefit of our reading audience, RKnd Das is a former astronaut or some such service for Nasa. He was invited to be the first man on the moon I think but decided to go to the Houston Temple for the Sunday Feast instead.

He is an avid SB reader and our long time associate from Houston. Mataji is an equally avid scholar.

Prabhu, we do very little communication outside of this Blog, because we are too stupid to function without 9-other people looking at us. Join here. Post news on your research into the service of Bhagavan.

We also send our daily news from here and fortnightly from the web page... www.JayaRama.US.

PLEASE - PLEASE - PLEASE

Join us here and send your research results!! Respects to your esteemed family.

Mexico 31 May

4 years, 11 months ago by Asta Sakhi Devi Dasi in Calendar Development

Please accept my respectful obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada

So grateful for accepting the transmission for ISKCON Mexico dated May 31.

I submit the topic proposal.

"Psychology in multicultural context"

Questions:

1) What should be the psychology of the devotee who is in a bicultural situation in which he faces being Hare Krsna and being inserted in a situation that demands fruitive activity?

2) How to healthy reconcile the differences derived from the cultural variables between devotees?

3) What does it mean to assume the identification as Vaisnava in a context like today?

Sincerely,

Your aspiring servant,

Govardhanesvari devi dasi

Member of the Administrative Committee, 

in charge of the Communications Department

HpS - Thank you... AgtSP. Multi-cultural, Australian Bushmen and Paris Fashion Designers??? Can you pick say three or more as you think best, different cultures that we should look at! Sounds like fun.

hare krishna

4 years, 11 months ago by Bhakta Jorge España in Personal Sadhana Reports

hare krishna Maharaj pamho agtsp.

Maharaj I am happy to receive your letter thank you so much.

well thank you Maharaj what can i say.. agtsp!

yeah its been few years already like people says time flys.

here the two certificates of the courses that i did at the manor back in 2015.. !

the fact its i am happy i guess due to the mercy of the holy names. i practically haven't stop chanting all this years, more exactly like since i was 15 years old back in Colombia, when i received the mercy some books, now i am 29 years old, so yes i may know many things about this krishna movement, but still stuck in the basics. lets be positive, still chanting.

what happens i believe in krishna´s plan, and i appreciate how things slowly slowly get on place. right now i think i have to keep chanting an praying for things to improve, but the reality its, i don't feel like taking initiation i am not surrender. like Prabhupad explains guru its not a fashion. I think i need more more more time, i don't want to make a mess, maybe even next life. still i keep myself near to the holy names.

HpS - Everyone is different. Srila Prabhupada took initiation like 11-years after he met Srila Bh. Siddhanta, no? Srimad Bhagavatam's goal is reality distinguished from illusion for the welfare of all. Is that O.K.?

The situación, it's still difficult here in barcelona. still locked at home, you can go out to do some sport in a stipulate hours.

finally just want to say thank you one more time for the inspiration and example.

waiting for your thoughts and advice with great hope and emotion.

now we are dispose to chant a round hare krishna hare krisna...! !!!

HpS - Rupa Goswami, Srila Prabhupada, suggest: Think about it very clearly and then set a number of rounds to chant, a sacrifice of your mind and intelligence, each day for a certain time. Eg. I will chant 4-rounds at least until Ekadasi... Then DO IT... don't let your mind defeat your intelligence, and then evaluate the results:

  1. Was a waste of time. I shall follow Tom Cruise.
  2. Was O.K. but really I should do 3-rounds until the next Ekadadi.
  3. I can do 7.....


Publishing Japa Joe

Srinatha Krsna Das wrote to us:

Dear Guru Maharaja

Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada! All glories to you!

Sorry for the late reply Gurudeva. The last week has was crazy. We are trying to consciously go though grhasta ashrama one last time so as to not have this desire again. Buying a house has definitely helped with that! It was a painful process but we could clearly see that Krishna was helping us all along. It is incredible how Krishna communicates if we try sincerely to hear Him. It is only through your association and mercy that we are able to have tangible experiences.

We should definitely plan on going ahead with the Japa book Guru Maharaj. Divya Sri said she will help. I will take care of the publishing.

Radhika Ramana Prabhu can oversee it although he doesn't have to be deeply involved till we finish the TPP book. I already spoke with him about this in brief sometime back and he was excited about the book. He said if we had about 7500 words, we could make a nice book. It is currently at about 2900 words.

Srinivasa-acarya prabhu can also be involved if he has time. He wrote a very nice Meaning of Vyasapuja essay for the Vyasapuja offering book. He can expand on a the section in Japa Joe, where you mentioned texts and purports from Srila Prabhupada's books. You can then go over it and do a round of editing.

I can coordinate the entire thing and do some editing as well Gurudeva.

Your servant

HpS - ASA --- AgtSP! paoho.... Whatever Krsna wants!!! It seemed to have some value and was relatively developed. Japa Joe. Then the next article would have been. "Return of Japa Joe", then "Japa Joe Goes to Harvard", then "The Joe's Last Round", then "The Son of Japa Joe".

😎 Maybe first step would be for Srimati Divya-sri Devi Dasi to make some comments?

EL BOLETIN YA ESTA LISTO!!! en español e ingles a la pagina de facebook
