Standards for Jagannath

5聽years, 11聽months ago by Sugopi Radha dd in Special Category A

Hare Krishna Gurudeva. Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada. I had a question about JBS deities. In the past, people have asked us to have Jagannath but we weren't ready so we did not accept.

On Saturday, someone brought them to our house. My parents think we are still not ready to worship them because our standard is not enough. I was wondering if you could enlighten us on what standards Jagannath requires and if you think we could be qualified to worship him. Thank you very much 馃檹

Your insignificant servant,

Sugopi Radha dd

HpS - AGTSP.... paoho.... Very nice question for everybody. I don't think we have any perfect knowledge on the subject. JBS are 80% merciful as I understand. Gaura-Nitai 100% except for Vaisnava aparadha. Radha Krsna, very strict. Love, Cleanliness, Punctuality, Paraphernalia-Rituals.

Those are the priorities.

You can keep Them in the house and don't have to worship Them by Arcana. There are pictures of JBS in Srila Prabhupada's books.

On the altar, if you are following Japa vrata and 4-principles and can keep Them clean and have regular offerings of Incense, Flowers, Lamp, and Bhoga, then that would be nice worship.

Mangala arati, Evening Arati.

It can be simple eg. Incense, Lamp, Flower.

O.K.??

Isvari*s Report (little urgent)

5聽years, 11聽months ago by Isvari devi dasi in Personal Sadhana Reports

Hare krsna Dear Maharaja,

PAMHO, AGTSP!

All glories to sankirtana of Sri Caitanya!

May your love for Krishna always grow and deepen.

It is amazing how Krishna teaches and guides us. 2 weeks ago you recommended us to hear a SBG class from Srila Prabhupada, and I did this (class of SBG 1.2.6).

Too, I read your offering to SP.and thanks to those 2 events I could understand the importance of to realized Srila Prabhupada. That SP disappears would be a catastrophe for ISKCON, we would be a dead body.

Now I understand in greater depth the vital importance of partnering with SP and of seeking at all costs to be pure and this as you sometimes mention it is not an option is a necessity.

If we do not do SP we will not be able to keep ISKCON devoted to SP. Thank you very much for allowing me to understand this, I do not want to overwhelm you with so many words, more thanks to you I understand the really important and urgent: If I realized SP, he will always be with me and I can share SP with others.

HpS - "Hello. I want you to meet my grandfather!"

Regarding my sadhana, lately I have not been able to get up at 4am. I have felt very tired in part to the excessive use of the computer and I was loaded with activities that exceed my capacity. I am now organizing to do what I can really do.

HpS - Have the same problem, but not so bad that we don't get up.

For now I have left pujari services, I am concentrating on other services among which is preaching and supporting Gandharva das in the tasks he considers I can do.

I finish my rounds even more, I must improve the concentration, it is a fact that if I get up at 4am my concentration will improve.

The last time you came unfortunately for me I could not interview you, I hope this time I come I can do it.

HpS !!! Con el otro mitad de la naranja.

In conclusion, I am very grateful to you. Despite all the problems I feel optimistic. Here in Lima the administrators have many problems and fail to harmonize, when I found out about this, I felt very sad. And thanks to you I understood that Time is short and the disciples of SP will soon leave, if we do not value the disciples of SP and turn our gaze towards him, he will have lost a great valuable opportunity.

All glories to Srila Prabhupada!

All glories to his good disciples that lead us to him!

May Sri Nrsimhadeva always protect you.

with much appreciation and respect

HpS - Brahmanas have to protect and inspire the Administrators.

Hare Krishna Gurudeva

PAMHO! AGTSP!!

About my initiation, in Barcelona, i will be there 27th and 28th and the only possible day to do it is saturday 28. I have talked with Sadhya Sestra, the brahmana who will do the jagya and he olny can on saturday. It is good for you to do it that day?
