Jai Maharaja

HpS-ASA -- AgtSP!!

Very bewildered this wéek.

Watching Bhagavatam class from last month

Guru Bhakti Mataji said some thing to the effect of "once a devotee surrenders they still suffer but it doesn't bother them as much."

Considering this from a material stand point, first were assuming after engaging in devotional activities we become God conscience, and death or the material effects from the dwindling of the body may or may not 'bite' as much as a mundane person thinking " I am this body forever..." 

But what about after death? 

HpS - Same thing but just with a new umbrella?

There are so many vivid descriptions in the puranas regarding the process of the sutle body ripping from the gross body (30 thousand scorpions) and it linger about the material world being wafed by desires (fulfilled and un fulfilled).

ASA - This is not for a surrendered soul exactly, no? At least they are able to take it all as a final experience of all the retribution due us.

 Not to mention the spear that pierces our intelligence to weigh our good and bad deads that we percive against what actually happened, cycling through past future and parallel expressions. 

Obviously for the majority of people are in for a horror show but is it different for all levels of devotees? 

HpS - Best to focus on Lord Kapila's description of this, no?

We're usually taught the yama dutes don't take us if we are wearing tulsi neck beads. Are we safe if we've taken harinam? Safer if we take diksha? 

In some proport Prabhupada says to be Leary of those who don't chant japa, don't take initiation and just hang around the temple. Apparently thier karma gets shared by the whole society. So if we're initiatied do we suffer collectively by our degree of surrender. In that case will we suffer for the misdeads of the society or does the spiritual master suffer only or is Prabhupada going to suffer for us? Does it differ varga to varga? Will my God brothers suffer together of will we suffers individualy? 

Or will we think of you Maharaja and you pass is up the parampara all the way up to Radharani?

HpS - Was your father a lawyer. 😆

What does Lord Kapila say about this?

HpS - AgtSP. We will send you the link to Isvari Radha Devi Dasi who is a leader for ASA Carnival. Thank you.

All glories to Srila Prabhupada. All glories to Guru Maharaj HH Hanumat Presaka Swami Maharaj.

Hare Krsna, Precious Guru Maharaj. Please accept my humble obeisances at Your sweet lotus feet.

We talked to HH Bhakti Ananda Haridas Goswami Maharaj about the initiation process . Maharaj suggested taking shelter first and then formally getting initiated in the month of August. So the devotees met and discussed with Maharaj. Thank you Guru Maharaj , let me be of some service to your mission.

HpS - AgtSP. Thank you for your letter. We are gradually adjusting our schedule to answer these important Blog Posts more timely.

By your mercy, I passed my Bhakti Shastri teaching course conducted by HG Padmamukha Nitai Das. The official certificate will probably reach in a few weeks time. How may I serve you dear Guru Maharaj.?

We had 2 workshops on Yoga, one at the Manipur University and another at our Hospital as a part of International Yoga Day Programme.

At Manipur University, I was invited as Guest of Honour and a resource person. The other resource person was Swami Vidyapradananda of Belur Math, Howrah. Swamiji invited me to Belur Math for sessions for his students at his research centre. Would you allow me to present Science and Spirituality at Belur Math, Guru Maharaj?

HpS - Seems fine. Could send a description of your presentation for publication in Solaris.

Send a little notification and invitation to the Kolkatta temple President also, no? Ask them for any advice and offer our respects to them.

Thank you for the transcendental classes every Sunday. I try my best to join. Sunday is a special day...lots of special spiritual activities.

Looking forward to getting your Darshan soon in India. How I wish I could travel with you dear Guru Maharaj...in this material world as well as the spiritual world.

Always meditating to be accepted as your disciple ,no matter how fallen I may be...

With all my love,

Your worthless servant,

Sarad Gaurangi DD

HpSwami ASA 🐒.. Hare Krsna. No bother. Your mercy.

I tried contacting you on WhatsApp. Using it?

Hare Krsna Gurudeva

pamhO, agTSP.

I have debit of 7000 rounds. Now whenever I make chanting my rounds I become sort of freaked up. Esp as it's an goal nobody around helps or reminds.

I see my interaction with them burden, hence I fail external exhibition of being a devotee , I don't know what to smile for.

Then we remember a senior devotee old that Srila Prabhupada was asked who is devotee ?

Then devotees replied. One who chants 16 rounds, other said one who does service.

But Prabhupada replied+ devotee means he is gentleman..

This become easy thing for us when do not take 16 rounds as top priority.

When we try to chant we sleep.

We remember we asked you similar question 2 months before initiation.

We got the jist- food is good, but when u eat, u hv to pass stool, if u don't know how to pass stool, u will make ur life mess. And will think food is the cause of your mess.

Similar chanting/ dev service is good, but there is something specific which we are missing or doing wrong, our intelligence can't see it. Please show us.

HpSwami - Hare Krsna.
