Hare Krsna Guru Maharaja.

Por favor acepte mis respetuosas reverencias.

Todas la glorias a Srila Prabhupada!.

Guru Maharaja, para Su Vyasa Puja envié una carta desde la cuenta de Jagannatha Caran, pero creo que nunca llegó😥

.

Bueno, ha pasado algo de tiempo y yo no le he escrito. Puedo contarle que ahora en marzo comenzamos con el servicio de los cursos en el departamento de educación en ISKCON Chile. Ese es mi único servicio en el templo.

En casa estamos atendiendo a Goura Nitay todos los días. Cantando en familia por las tardes, y antes de dormir leyendo el Krsna Book a Indira, y Jagannatha lee a Sukadeva el Ramayana y el pasatiempo del Señor Nrsimha.

Estamos levantando temprano y cantando 16 rondas cada día. Tengo insomnio desde los 10 años. A veces despierto muy temprano y canto japa, pero luego debo descansar un poco antes de hacer mis otras actividades. A veces FMP es a la hora que debo ir a trabajar, así que intento estar presente.

Sukadeva está cantando 1 ronda cada día. Y volverá a estudiar en su colegio anterior.

Indira a veces imita a Sukadeva a cantar japa. Y le gusta mucho bailar mientras cantamos en casa. También ella toma los libros y "lee" pasatiempos de Krsna. Le gusta mucho Little Krsna. Ella irá al Jardín éste año.

Jagannatha sigue con su servicio de recomendaciones para iniciación y nos ayudará con el curso de Bhaktas en el departamento. Él sigue con su trabajo.

Bueno Guru Maharaja, espero que éste reporte sea de Su agrado.

Su aspirante a sirviente

Letter to Shonu Shamdasani

5 years, 2 months ago by hps in Special Category B

AGTSP paoho. We have been struggling, struggling, struggling with our institutional efforts to contact Dr. Shamdasani et al to push forward our dialog between Jung and the Bhagavata. Bhati Vijnana Swami told us once, "Jung is essential for our preaching!" but so many difficulties. So, we are finally just writing a letter from our actual lowly position to him with copy to esteemed!!! Professor Bernardo Nante.

-0-0-0-0-

Esteemed Prof. Shamdasani,

We hope you remember us. We were the Bengali Sannyasi who gave you the Laddus and a copy of our magazine, Solaris, when you were on stage in Buenos Aires with the very poweful Prof. Bernardo Nantes. Later we were able to participate in the programs in Cordoba.

We have been developing East-West bridges with National Museum of India, Govenors of West Bengal, three day excellent Seminars on Contribution of Ancient India Toward Making a Better World,

National Library of PeruPsychology and the Sacred,

San Marcos University (oldest in the Western hemisphere), Lima,

And ISKCON (now with one million members).

Our most active title is "Science, Psyche and Spirituality: The Encounter of Prof. C. G. Jung with the Mysticism of Ancient India".

We would love to converse with you for any given time, but we feel that you are far too busy for that, and would like to know if there is anyone you can recommend who is conversant with Jung's cosmology, development of this ideas, and would resonate with integrating these with Indian, Caitanya Vaisnavism, for general illumination of this world.

As a common academic standard there are texts such as Prof. David Haberman's translation of the 15th century, Bhakti-rasa-amrta-sindhu, of Rupa Goswami and of course, our Srila A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami's, translations.

We will be in Argentina in April and hope to continue work in this area with Prof. Bernardo Nantes et al. He has been essential inspiration to us, and guided us most recently, to "Jung in India". Of course, in this effort we have read "Jung and the Making of Modern Psychology" et al.

Thank you so much for any time and direction in this matter.

(Srila A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami, after reviewing all of the major Western philosophers commented with some intensity, that amongst all of them Carl Jung seemed to have the most common sense!)

Govardana⛰ --Sonu Shamdasani interview in Cba-

5 years, 2 months ago by Victoria in Other

Hare Krsna Gurudeva, por favor acepte mis humildes reverencias 🌺

Todas las glorias a Srila Prabhupada 🌼

Todas las glorias a usted 🌷

It's been a while since I wrote this letter but I didn't send it. Sorry for my poor communication.

Thank you very much for your visit, for your dedication, patience and love. A wave of enthusiasm came to hear your classes, to have your association. Thank you

I know I have a lot to improve and sometimes I feel that I am getting further and further away from the goal. These last years have been very big tests and changes ... As life is. I feel that everything shows me that one must become more and more serious, because nothing is easy, nor will it be at the time of death

Today, more than ever, I find meaning and joy in knowing that Krsna promises that every advance one makes is not lost. I feel that I have not advanced for a long time, even that I am going backwards… but I know that they are clouds that cover the consciousness and sadden.

Yesterday I found these two interview videos with Sonu Shamdasani that the Jungians of Cordoba made during the time he was here. They say they will publish the third part soon.

HpS - Jaya!!!! We will write a letter to him and Bernardo Nantes now! Thank you. One who does good my friend is never over come by evil.

We are struggling to get the LOB readings onto Youtube.com so, many obstacles. They will stay, I think for 3-months before they are automatically erased, so we can work on them while we are in Argentina!!!!

We look for tickets now. Yesterday found the best tickets but robot would not accept reservation.

!"GOVARDHANA"! Thanks Gurudeva!!

Hare Krishna, dear Gurudeva. Pamho, AGTSP!

Thank you very much for your support and response to my previous letter.

All we can do is accept and tolerate whatever corresponds to us by karma.

HpS - No, no, no!!! If you are chanting 16-nice rounds a day and following 2-principles strictly then what happens to you is not "Karma". Even if it is Karma it is now under the control of Radharani not Durga! So, see what happens to you! Draupadi had to see what was happening to her and her husband(s) and try to be very, very, very Enthusiastic do join Krsna's drama!!!

There is nothing else to do and say. If you surrender to the supreme lord he will know how to proceed before the problems. They are difficult days, but they could be worse.

HpS - You could have five husbands!!!

I am helping in the edition of one of the books of SS Bhakti Tirtha Swami and in reading he speaks precisely of suffering. He explains that we have to suffer for the karma of other lives and for the offenses (aparadha). Vaishava-aparadha, guru-aparadha, dhama-aparadha, nama-aparadha and seva-aparadha. Even if we are engaged in devotional activities, such offenses cause us to suffer imbalances and stagnations. But these challenges help us increase our meditation on God, Krishna.

I can only see in all this, the divine intervention of the Supreme Lord.

We know you are coming to Mexico for June, we would like to know how can we serve you during your visit?

HpS - It is a plan!! Arrive Houston end of May, then Education Symposium first weekend. So we could slip away to Mexico!! During that time!!

Prabhu Vidagdha sends you greetings and is very grateful to you for your support always.

Gopi Radha DD

HpS - We also had very nice exchange of letters with H. H. Guruprasada Swami about this situation. If we are Temple President, Project Manager, Head Donkey, we should never act independently in administration without Brahminical consultation. We don't have that authority, no?

“Govardhana”! Personal Sadhana Report

5 years, 2 months ago by divya in Personal Sadhana Reports

Hare Krishna Dear Guru Maharaj... Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to you and All glories to Srila Prabhupada.

Guru Maharaj, Thank you so much for giving me initiation on your vyasapuja day and adding the best memory in my life. It was your birthday that day, i should have given you something but instead you gave the biggest gift of my life. Thank You dear Guru Maharaj.

I am following four regulative principles and chanting 16 rounds daily. By your mercy I am doing some services in the temple and contributing something to Sri Radha Kalachandji.

Guru Maharaj this Feb 2nd we would be completing one year worshipping our deities Nitai Navadwip Chandra. THANK YOU so much Guru Maharaj for engaging us in their service. We love serving them.

Guru Maharaj our God Sister Rukmini Mataji from Peru is here with us. Urjeshwari Mataji a senior disciple of Tamal Krishna Maharaj who looks after the Gift Shop gave lots and lots of clothes including sarees for donation to the devotees of Peru. She said this is my small service to Maharaj. I was so touched maharaj by this humble gesture of Mataji.... I remembered you taking sarees to Peru the last time and felt that Sri Radha Kalachandji is so so merciful.

Guru Maharaj I like worshipping Lord Rama and have a liking towards Lord Rama from many years. Can we keep Lord Rama in our altar and worship him?

HpS - Yes... if you want a very special Deity will appear!

Guru Maharaj though I keep myself busy in some activities like stitching dresses for the deities and making jewellery for them, chanting, doing household chores but still sometimes I feel that I am doing nothing. I feel i should do some course and work for sometime. I dont know stiching still I somehow manage to learn the basics by myself, i feel i should join some classes for my hobbies or rather do some further course related to academics and start working rather sitting idle as I use to work in India.

These things keep rattling in my mind making me helpless to take decision. Please help me Maharaj and give me your blessings so that i may serve you and Srila Prabhupada.

Please always keep me in your service

Your Humble Servant

Divya Sri Devi Dasi

HpS - Hare Krsna!!!! What do Srinath-k. Das and your family think? They see you often and can give practical perspective on you nature. Which books of Srila Prabhupada's do you like????
