Reading Journey to the West

5 years, 9 months ago by Nityananda-rama dasa in Other

Please accept my humble obeisances, All glories to Srila Prabhupada!

Guru Maharaja, you asked if I had read Journey to the West. I had not, but have started reading an abridged (~500 page) version called 'The Monkey and the Monk' by an author named Anthony C. Yu. His version seems to be the most widely recommended. I am currently reading it before Krishna Book before bed. I intend to read Mr. Yu's full translation once I have finished this abridged version.

I do not need a reply, but I wanted to answer your question.

Your servant,

Nityananda-rama dasa

HpS - Thank you! We got the full version on our Kindle reader. The introduction is super in terms of understanding Chinese religious history and current world view. It is long and we just got to the story. We read it before, maybe twice, over many years, but now our comprehension will be much deeprer.

Know your students!

Educational programs for children

Dear Maharaj,

Please accept my humble obeisances and all glories to Srila Prabhupad!

Dear Maharaj, thank you for being that pillar in our life that gives stability, security, ability to breathe, sleep and even live in the most turbulent times, when no one or nothing else can. Such is your grace, saints like you selflessly live for others. You keep yourself pure so others can find some solace and relief from material miseries. Thank you for your kind and most valuable association which we do not deserve. It is Krsna's causeless mercy, for probably the sins we have performed, we may not deserve anything good. Yet He is so merciful, He has given so much love and affection through His dear devotees. Relationships with whom, I realize is the most important possession without which one is unfortunate, and very poor. Hence having spiritual relationships like with you is the actual wealth of the soul. Nothing of this world can equal or surpass this sustainence, without which material nature will factually render us insane. I'm going through a difficult time, but I pray that when this phase ends, I never ever forget this one thing I have in my life from the spiritual world. My sadhana: able to chant 16rounds, some hearing, working on improving reading and morning program (really a struggle when living with my husband).

Dear Maharaj, you had asked us to share this message on your blog:

Someone messaged us a few days ago asking to make online videos for basic dance training videos for children 7-12. Any guidance on this subject how to give them some Krsna consciousness through educational dance training (maybe some theatre, yoga, dance steps etc as well)? Is this something I should pursue? Thank you!

Your aspiring servant,

YajnaseniDD

HpS - ASA --- AGTSP!!! We don't have any real ideas about the dance videos. We worked with Ranganiketana, Manupuri Dance Theater for many years, but only thing I might think of specifically is "Improvisation for the Theater" by Viola Spolin. It is one of the most useful books in the world.

I think that probably you know more than us.

Krsna is in control. He gives us free will, but if we have even a little energy to be His friend again, then He sends an Acharya!!

Please accept my humble obeisances

How are you?

ASA - AGTSP!!!! paoho....... About the same as you.

I am better now, I was very sick. Coronavirus attack me, very strong, but no so much. I think that i become sick for my offenses. I start an a fight with the new authorities because i considered that they were not doing well his work, but all this effort create in my hurt a desert and depression that open the door to the virus. My japa become without flavor, very sad situation. 

After of be in bed for 4 days and dont feel nothing with the holy name, i considered surrender to my new autorithie and beg for an apology, and i do. Then of that, my japa comes back, in that moment i realize very much things, but especially my problems with the autoriety, the inclination of be the lider, the controller, the judge. In the other hand i really see my most anhartas, pride, anger, intolerance, impatience, and so much dirt.

ASA - Most people think that they are all right! Don't even see the dirt!

For this situation and my bad action, i decide to leave the charge of temple commander, the new administration want that also. This was a very good experience, full of new goals and challenges. Thank you Gurudeva for give me that instruction.

Please accept my humble obeisances

Pamho! AgtSP! 

Hare Krsna

Gurumaharaja, disculpe el atrevimiento pero me angustia sentirlo con hipo, a mí me da algunas veces y dura mucho, es horrible incluso causa dolor. 

Me ayuda un ejercicio de respiración, talves está en la pasión hacerlo pero me ayuda. 

Inhalar profundamente, retener ese aire cantando maha mantra el número que más puedo alcanzar y luego exhalar lentamente. Si logro hacerlo sin que el hipo interrumpa el ejercicio , es exitoso, usualmente me funciona mucho.  

Espero que le pase pronto Gurumaharaja, usted es un gran ejemplo de servir a Krsna y a los vaisnavas tolerando estos inconvenientes. 

Su aspirante a sirviente.

Hare Krsna.

Asombroso.

Lo hemos estado haciendo durante años por varias razones.

Recordamos a Srila Prabhupada dando un Pranayama simple, y comentando que cantar y bailar para Krsna es Pranayama.

Hare Krishna Maharaja Ji

Please Accept My Humble Obeisances, All Glories to Srila Prabhupada,

Thank you for blessing us with your words. We would like to send some donations. Kindly provide account info or mailing address where we can send check. Also, kindly find below recording of lectures loaded on Facebook and You Tube.

HpS - It was so, so nice to join the program. In Whatsapp we sent the info for sending checks to NIOS. We hope we can use them for nice Sankirtan. Nice movies on the internet abut Krsna. Putting SB into modern circumstances.

Bhisma, Arjuna, Karna they can be flying in Huey Apache helicopters.

Some drama, same super weapons, but totally real in modern eye! So much to do.

Srila Prabhupada gave us the books. We can use them as a base to make the movies.

I told Bh. Caru Swami that many years ago and he said that he had come to the same conclusion!

Thank you for the links!!!!!!
