BnD: HK Gurudeva pamho, TlgaSP!!!

Could you give me a few minutes to call you on the phone please? If possible. You propose the time and I will call you on WhatsApp.

I am [xxx]

Gurudeva, my current wish is to withdraw from Iskcon, in order to end this political persecution to which I have been subjected.

I do not want to give up on you or Srila Prabhupada, and I wish to continue supporting your Sankirtan... But not within Iskcon, I will look for a way to continue serving Srila Prabhupada in Lord Caitanya's mission. I will find a way to do it,

[LPlease give me your permission to withdraw from Iskcon.


[8/16, 7:05 PM] HP Swami - Prof HHR:

Why, agtSP, let them win?

☹️💪💪💪💪


I will never leave ISKCON.


It does not belong to anyone but it's Founder Acharya!


If people are dressing themselves falsely as leaders of the institution but at heart are self seeking demons then we shall chant Hare Krsna, Hare Rama, praying for Rama and Krsna to save all the honest members of Srila Prabhupada’s ISKCON, and if They want us to kill demons it will be obvious that we are just Their instruments. 

You me and Prabhupada will always stay in ISKCON even if everyone else leaves?

hPs/ASA -agtsp. paoho. drowning her in sankirtan. saw excel sheet on whatsapp and just answered.

we cannot read or edit excel well.

  1. arrival = 6am not pm.
  2. 14th-17th there are over seven festival days, no?

in general, looks good. we can refine details when we arrive in spain, no?

friday upendra das/hps does not conflict with guests arriving to nvm for weekend?


body not too predictable. maybe focus on tasks rather than calendar events.

thank you.

Hare Krishna Maharaja

Please accept my obeisances

All glories to Srila Prabhupada


I have thought about what we have been talking about and my decision is to continue as a “house brahmacari” for a while longer.


Since my mind is very lustful (as if I had a demon inside), I tell her that in the future we can get married.


You ordered me that at the end of this period I should make the decision to either get married or continue as a brahmacari.


If I can remain in this condition of “house monk” all my life, I think it will be most beneficial, both spiritually (particularly in preaching) and also materially, as it would save me a lot of trouble.


Thank you Maharaja


HpS/ASA - Hare Krsna. This is excellent topic.

I don't remember and specific instruction on the matter, but the general principles are the same, no?

This is not the age of:

  • Meditation.
  • Fire Sacrifice.
  • Deity Worship.
  • Varana ashrama Dharma.

It is the Age of Sankirtan, Congregational Singing of the Name, Fame, Pastimes of Krsna.

Jaya!


So, engage as much as you can in Sankirtan, Japa, and that will give you intelligence how to develope VAD, Deity Worship etc.


Married our B'cari.

Living with family or alone or with wife an children. Which will help our Sankirtan. Specifically 16-rounds and 4-principles under the authority of Srila Prabhupada!


Ideal is to make the decision by 25-years old (SB 1.17.38) but some of us come from barbaric families, so adjustment is necessary.


I know big leaders in ISKCON who stayed B'cari until 30-years old and then went directly into Vanprastha with a like minded lady devotee.

Emotional association but no gross.


Chant and pray for you position.

Try out things in a sane fashion.

Talk with nice advisors.

Read Srila Prabhupada's book for help!

SB Workshop timings discussion during Spain and India visits of Maharaja

Hare Krishna, Maharaja and dear devotees.


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


The purpose of this message is to start discussion about the timings for our weekly sanga of SB workshop. Maharaja's travel dates are as follow:


Spain: September 10 - September 17 & October 09 - December 03

India: September 17 - October 09


The time difference between Spain and USA (EST) is +6.0 hrs.

The time difference between India and USA (EST) is + 9.5 hrs.


During a preliminary discussion, Maharaja was thinking of doing SB workshop on Friday at 7: 00 pm - 7:30 pm when he is in Spain. Maharaja is visiting India for 3 weeks in those 3 weeks he is going to spend 2 weeks in Manipur, where internet access can be a problem due to political situation.


Point of Discussion:

What time we shall have a for weekly SB workshop class during Maharaja's visit in Spain?

Shall we have weekly SB workshop reading during Maharaja's visit to India?



HpS/ASA - Thank you! In other post we have made some comments on this.

We are waiting for comments from devotees in Spain.

Also, for India it seems best not try to connect by internet for classes for the full three weeks.

We can work out something else!
