Moonbeams from a Larger Madness [MmBLM]

Jack and Bill crossed o'er the 'ill in Sunny Southern DWARKA [KA].


None of them could swim,

nor none of them could float

but they had a boat named Retriever 🚄


Swam! Bam? RAM!!?


On whose back they'd ride.


DANVILLE IN THE GLEN

The town's name was Danville because everyone gave charity by the handfill.


When it was break-fast every One gave pease porridge to your soul-fill (w/ a little orange pickle).


Pickle Dickle.


. . . .


Barely able to wipe their bowls clean and 🐻 Bear, Ape, Riot & Pig🐷 were hustled into a sloop bobbing at the dock with "Hurray. Hurray. Hurray. We have to catch the tide. This is all within the 'jurisdiction of DWARKA Dhama. Raise the Jig!'


...and intu the water they glid.

Gandharva das report

2 weeks, 6 days ago by Germán Vegas in Personal Sadhana Reports

Hare Krishna, dear Gurudeva

PAOHO, AGTSP


I hope you are in very good health. I want to thank you for allowing us to serve you during your stay in Lima and I ask you to please forgive any offense or clumsiness on our part.


HpS-ASA -- AgtSP. My body is in 90% catastrophy from allergy here in Tennessee. Probably to same for you. 😆

I want to apologize for so shamelessly taking such fantastic service from you and everyone while in Peru.


For the past couple of months, Indira Sakti dd and I have been participating in the Saturday programs at the preaching center in Miraflores. We have decided to collaborate with the devotees' efforts to support Srila Prabhupada's mission, understanding that this should be our path, regardless of any perceptions we may have had in the past.


HpS - "As long as you think you are the servant in any situation, material or spiritual, the more you wil become happy. The more you think you are the master, the more you will go to hell," Srila Prabhupada to Bhakta Das, our first temple president, upon occasion of his initiation!


I was asked to give a Sad-acara course, which I taught to about 14 devotees, mostly bhaktas who are drawn to the glories of kirtan. The course turned out better than I expected. We were able to approach it from the perspective of sattva guna and madhyama-adhikari, understanding that interactions among devotees don't depend solely on a rigid set of rules, but above all, on appreciation for the members of the community. We based it on Bhakti Caru Swami's manual and the Upadesamrta.


In a few weeks, I will begin teaching a course on basic home worship, specifically for younger devotees who want to learn some details to improve their service. I ask for your blessings, Gurudeva, so that I may transmit to these young people the feelings that my wife and I have developed for our beloved deities. Caring for devotees at this level is something we can contribute to, and we are content with that, as long as it is Lord Jagannatha's will.


HpS/ASA - 🐒 🐷 🎰 Hare Krsna!!!!! Make them teachers.


Finally, I would like to ask if you would permit us to worship Salagram Sila. There is a possibility that we might be entrusted with His service, but that would be impossible without your blessing. My wife and I have been worshipping deities for some time and are content with our principles. We await your reply, Gurumaharaja.


HpS - I don't think there is any harm is keeping Them clean and comfortable, but real worship is very challenging. How are your Gayatri sandhyas?

I think Jayananda Das worshipped Japa beads. 108-silas!

Who will teach you the details?


Thank you again for your presence among us; you have, as always, sown beautiful feelings in our hearts.


Your servant

HpS - Chemo therapy????

Medical marijuana?

❓❓ ❓.

Chew and Chant (Don't eat too much and work hard)."


who we are writing to Bachelor Huber, TB, HpS, Psychiatrist, Spiritual master..

all of them may be

our mind does not feel even wasting your time to send you any update. but as you said better do mistake of communicating.


we are taking chemotherapy yes- on gross level it has side effects. our bodily son is going through parental alienation. we feel heavily responsible for it. though we no we are not supreme controller or benefactor or enjoyer, but we can not leave things to fate.... so non brahmanical. we are fighting legal cases. just to meet him.


our promise of 4 rules very intact, up at 3 am average 5 days in week, inconsistent mayapur TV for mangal artik. attentive chanting far away, but enthusism come back and goes.


we have lot to say -----


we propose we do series of Podcast with you where we talk about Carl jung, psychology psych as science, artifacts,movies, imagination, world of sound, sound of mahamantra, from SB and Guru Parampara perspective, once a month/ depending on your grace health.


will always try to serve you, even if we can not/ dont want, to do simple/best service to CHANT

from


hayagriva to das of bodily father


HpS - AgtSP. Paoho.

Your update echoes with like 90% of our Blog readers.

So, nice to hear from you, Professor, from Varunasi University.


If our children expect to have God for a father, then they are going to have to do a lot more austerity than they have so far.

😏


You and I have gone thorugh so much together: First meet after Bh. Gita class with your wife in Gaziabad, The Iron City.

You sleeping in the Calcutta temple library for weeks to promote the NIOS symposium with Dr. Samaresh and Indian National LIbrary.

Your help and association during every visit to India.


Thank you.


You aren't perfect but your son will look around and realize that Krsna has sent him into a very special family.


Wars are not won by good looking soldiers after a good breakfast with well pressed uniforms.


Wars are won by wounded, dirty, starving soldiers who pick up other wounded soldiers and push ahead with 55% fighting strength.

Of course, the "enemy", Maya devi, is really our friend. Trying to help us become detached from her and attached to KRSNA!!!


What do you have cancer of?


Our eyes, ears, heart, brains, back, skin.... are all failing.

Doctor says we will live a long time.

In what condition?


Old age is a goo friend for a devotee.

This time let us take the push for Krsna to use whatever resouces we have in Old Age in this shadow world to serve Him here, and also purify our intelligence, heart, for eternal progress i waking up, to His call, alarm.


We find that this 16-concentrated rounds before Managala arati is GREAT. Makes our little Sankirtan during the day 10 times stronger. More intense. More deep.


We almost feel like we are making permanent progress continously.


Hope to have some messages for Dr. Samaresh through you in a few days.


Our Rich Mound, Nash Ville tour has been, is, intense!


Hope you can make real change in your students and fellow workers lives!

RE: Summary of the Srimad Bhagavatam

2 weeks, 6 days ago by jagat pavitram in Special Category A

Hare Krishna Guru Maharaj,

Please accept my humble obeisances

All glories to Srila Prabhupada


Here I’m sharing the link to the first part of my production: https://youtu.be/YkTAuHbd_38

This is the second part: https://youtu.be/Te0Mk65xAxg


Now that I have completed this production, I would like to prepare a two-month course entitled “Summary of the Srimad Bhagavatam.” This course would be based on my six-hour production, with the purpose of helping both new and senior devotees see it as a reliable overview of the Srimad Bhagavatam. I would also like to help viewers deepen their understanding of the human side and practical teachings embodied by each character. The course would not be a detailed academic study, but rather a concise and accessible summary.

Therefore, I humbly request your permission and blessings to begin this new project.


Thank you very much, Guru Maharaj, for your dedication and guidance

HpS-ASA - AgtSP! Camp: Nashville, Tennessee.

Thank you.

Very stimulating.

Links worked this time.

Seems like it has taken years to produce and will take years to be fully appreciated.

Next 10,000 years.

I hope devotees share these links and send their comments.


Hope your class plan keeps the same purity and you always focus on the reaction of the sincere, patient audience Krsna sends to stimulate them to become Bhagavatas.
