once upon a time there were three little pigs living in goloka.

Érase una vez tres cerditos que vivían en Goloka.

Hare Krishna dear Gurudeva,

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

ASA-We got this while we were traveling, months ago!

Thank you for your reply. In reply to your questions, the kirtan event is in April and September or October, fitting with events in the Dutch Yatra calendar. We prefer Vaishnava holidays, but are not attached to it.

So far we had five hour kirtans where people sing preferably 45 minutes or an hour. Some sang 30 minutes. I prefer longer kirtans for deepening the meditation. We've had the Damodarastakam, but generally we just chant Hare Krishna. We mix seniors with juniors who are in good standing. Besides that we still work on inviting Manu and his good wife (Radhadesh Mellows), Kadamba Kanana Swami or Sacinandana Swami. And perhaps 6 hours is worth the experiment (12-18).

HpS - Long time, but some may be ready. Advertise for early starting time for more advanced souls?

I'm still looking forward to make it to Spain whenever you are there, but so far i failed.

Your aspiring servant,

Raghava Pandita dasa

HpS - O.K. Send news of your April Kirtan experience!.

Hare Krsna, Hare Rama!

• We answered a lot of letters.
• We prepared for the SB class and made our presentation.
• Worked on the Sankirtan calendar for North America with RGD and RKD (Texas).
• Also... started to look at the tickets for Peru (Chile-Argentina??). Thinking of arriving for Rama-navami, 2nd April. Nice festival! Welcome appearance of Lord Ramacandra into our hearts, Sankirtan!

If we buy a round-trip-ticket from Nashville (Houston) to Lima it is $650

If we take the same ticket directly from Houston to Lima it is $840. Robots are crazy. Longer trip is cheaper.

Guess we buy tomorrow.

O.K.?

April 2-May 26 Lima then other local tickets within that.

BROTHER ASS's eyes hurt. He is pretty happy. Monkey and Piggy offered all the popcorn and popsicles to Lord Nrsmha deva so they had to offer simple things like oranges, and oats with peas today.

Tomorrow is Ekadasi.

No morning SB class tomorrow. Esanga.org at 10 or 11AM. Then Thu/Friday special classes for Nityananda and Varaha!!!

Hare Krsna. Hare Krsna!!! Chant, chant, chant and Krsna will be able to always engage us in His plans!!!!!!!

Querido Gurumaharaja

Por favor acepte mis respetuosas reverencias!

Todas las glorias a Srila Prabhupada! 

Tengo una pregunta de una Clase de SB acerca de los sintomas de kali yuga.

Hemos leído, escuchado y a veces experimentado lo que es bueno y lo que es malo para nuestro avance espiritual, lo favorable y desfavorable. 

Por qué olvidamos los buenos consejos y somos arrastrados a actuar de forma errónea? 

Se debe la perdida de memoria por Kali yuga, a maya, a nuestras ofensas, nuestro karma o es la suma de todo ? 

Qué es lo que nos perjudica más y cómo corregir? 

Por favor bendiganos porque como seres olvidadizos a veces tomamos el camino incorrecto. 

Muchas gracias por sus misericordiosas respuestas. 

Vuestra eterna aspirante a sirviente

Dear Gurumaharaja

Please accept my respectful obeisances!

All glories to Srila Prabhupada!

I have a question from a SB Class about the symptoms of Kali Yuga.

We have read, heard and sometimes experienced what is good and what is bad for our spiritual advancement, the favorable and unfavorable.

Why do we forget good advice and are dragged to act wrongly?

Is the loss of memory due to Kali yuga, to Maya, to our offenses, our karma or is it the sum of everything?

What harms us the most and how to correct?

Please bless us because as forgetful beings we sometimes take the wrong path.

Thank you very much for your merciful answers.

Your eternal aspiring servant

AGTSP!!!!!!!!!! paoho........ Thank you for your letter. In the start of the section of Sadhana bhakti, Rupa Goswami presents one verse. Del Padma Puraṇā: smartavyaḥ satataṁ viṣṇuḥ: Debemos recordar constantemente al Señor Viṣṇu. Vismartavyo na jātucit: Nunca debemos olvidar al Señor. En eso consiste la perfección de la vida. Esta citado en fin del Significado en:

https://vedabase.io/es/library/sb/6/16/53-54/

Eso es smaranam, mos como meditacion como cual es el capitol de Francia. Es posible in Satya yuga, Kali-yuga, Bondad o ignorancia. Pero, claro, es basicamente mas facil recordar a Krsna in bondad, pero, para ellos quien quiere recordar a Krsna in Kali-yuga hay gran ventaja... Canta Hare Krsna..

Si no podemos cantar HK/HR todo el tiempo entonces hay Sadhana Bhakti (BG 12). Es desenyado recordar nostros de Krsna eg. Mangala arati, Sankirtan... pero claro es mas fuerte se ejecutamos Sadhana Bhakti con nuestra esfuerza personal. Eg. memorizar el significado de las palabras del cancion de arati.

No importa el ambiente, satya, kali,... toma cuenta de la Yuga Dharma, pero puede recordar a Krsna y sus instrucciones en cual quiere situation tomando apoyo del Yuga dharma etc. Y mas que recordamos, mas que vamos a recordar El. Nehabikramo naso sti... BG 2.30+

O.K.

All Glories to Guru Parampara,

Radha Krsna Ki Jay, Gouranga Mahaprabhu Ki Jay, Goura Bhakta Vrinda Ki Jay

H H HpS Maharaja! Dandavat Pranam!

Please accept my humble obeisances unto Guruji Maharaja’s Padama Charan that when I read Bhagavatam 10.69.24 Translation : " The five maha-yajnas, or great sacrifices, are defined as follows : patno homas catithinam saparya tarpanam balih – “reciting the Vedas, offering oblations into the sacrificial fire, waiting on guests, making offerings to the forefathers, and offering [ a share of one’s food] to living entities in general.”  

           Srila Prabhupada comments as follows on these sacrifices, “In another place Krsna was found performing the panca-yajna sacrifice, which is compulsory for a householder. This yajna is also known as panca-suna”.

           The same is also mentioned in the book Sri Krsna the Supreme Personality of Godhead…. Chapter-69 (Narda’s visits different homes of Lord Krsna

           What is panca-yajna or panca-suna? What are the mantras? In kali yuga also, is it necessary? Please explain elaborately so as to clear my darkness.

HpS - So sorry we could not answer your posts, letters. When traveling it was very hard, We had meetings with many devotees every day, and then when we got back to our Base takes long time to recover and we are nearing our death, leaving this body. It is getting old. We cannot talk or chant so long. Our eyes cannot handle so much computer.

Please read the Kapi Dhavaj each two weeks and then write to us here using the Priority Code in the Title of your letter. Tell us how we can make the KDh better for you!

Those purports, after chapter 14 in tenth canto, are written by Hrdayananda Goswami an Gopi paranadhana Das, two nice devotees.

I don't know the details of those sacrifices, but I see Prabhupada mentioning them and then commenting that in the Kali-yuga they are all accomplished best by Hari-nama Yajna and Prasadam distribution. Sit with devotees and chant, chant, chant... Nice Japa... and distribute Prasadam. Go out for Sankirtana (play the BIG Mrdanga!)

           Guruji, is there new plan for coming India during Goura Purnima at Mayapur and Manipur? I could not communicate with Dr. Sarada Deve Dasi. One day Prabhu Radhacharan Das inform me that Guruji is coming during May, is it confirm?

HpS - No!! We are too old for so much travel. We came December last year and plan is to come in August this year!!!!!

• This letter was written one months before but no reply from Guruji, so I am writing again. Excuse me if any commit mistake from my site. Without Guruji's mercy no disciple could develop any spiritual knowledge. Pardon me thousands time, as an innocent bhakta.

Yours fallan sarvent,

Yamunesvara Das

HpS - It is so nice to hear from you. When we hear from you we think of Manipur and even how it smells!!

Hare Krishna Maharaja,

Por favor, acepte mis sinceras y humildes reverencias. Todas las glorias a Srila Prabhupada. 

Ya ha pasado casi un mes desde que nos despedimos en Madrid. Me gustaría decirle que usted me ha dado la fuerza necesaria para seguir con mi Sadhana en conciencia de Krishna, para cantar 16 buenas rondas todos los días y leer Bhagavad Gita y Srimad Bhāgavatam. Yo lo he aceptado como mi Guru en mi corazón. Si usted me acepta deseo servirle y servir a Srila Prabhupada, en ISKCON, siguiendo Sus instrucciones, como Él nos dijo y enseñó, todos juntos. 

Deseando tomar pronto Su darshan de nuevo, 

Aspirando a servir,

Diego

PD: Adjunto una foto con mi esposa que en la próxima ocasión espero que conozca.

HpS - TlgaSP... Fuimos a la universidad juntos? Many letters left from our travel. Please use the Priority Code in the Kapi Dhvaja!
