DTC Sa(8)

6 years, 8 months ago by hps in DTC

HK/HR  ----  Finally got good campsite and good internet and good (70 years old) body energy to communicat. 13 rounds done. Do 3 more en route to Rathayatra. Now there is rain. Expect to leave at 5PM and get back at 10.30PM from Rathayatra. FMP with short class and good questions here in Jayanta Das' ahsrama.  SPAIN!!  Madrid!!!

10,000 devotees here.

Next is regular Saturday ASA/ABC/SB class. We have 30-minutes to prepare. We have been on the computer (from Gopinatha Das) for one hour with MOE, NIOS and ASA mail. OUr eyes are beginnging to fail.

We will honor Prasad after class. We will do the class preparation and cause a little permanent damage to our health. Permanent damage is another name for regular daily activities. Everything we do brings our death nearer, but that is O.K. for a devotee (even monkey/pig devotee) because it means getting a new vehicle. We get a chance to upgrade!

Each incarnation Krsna and Balarama improve their service. (of course so does The Black Witch (may she be blessed)).

O.K.   See you in cyberspace.  Back in USA next Wednesday.  We get Text messages.

This evening I watched a Joseph Campbell documentary in which he quoted the Pima Indians of Arizona, USA. 

 

In the beginning there was only darkness and water. The darkness congealed in certain places and it is from this that the Creator was made. He wandered aimlessly above the water and began to think. He became fully conscious of who he was and what he was to do. He then reached into his heart and pulled out a magic creation stick.”

HpS - ASA == This "Solaris" is going to be great.   We are almost dead from this travel through Spain: 1-night in Brihuega, 3-Barcelona, 4-Brihuega, 2-North Madrid, 3-Central Madrid; 2-4 classes/day and many, many, many dialogs, consultations with devotees.

Health is fine.

Hare Krsna.

Trying to arrange meeting with Atul and RK Das before the latter leaves the USA.

Oranizing the Sankirtan??!!!        Vidya vadu jivanaman.     Our conclustion is that Sankirtan is the result of hearing, classes, and the basis of systematic classes is Daily SB classes. Traveling is an integral part of our life and we then encounter different, even random assortment of SB classes. Sometimes we can chose the topics.

Right now we are reminded that we can write some notes for our ABC Year, classes and study based on the events of the Vaisnava calendar, from our experiences of Janmastami.

Of course, Word is not working on this new machine, but Wordpad is.

 

URGENTE REPORTE GOVARDHAN CUSCO MANDIR, FELIZ SRI KRISHNA JANMASTAMI Y VP DE SRILA PRABHUPADA

6 years, 8 months ago by Govardhana das in Personal Sadhana Reports

HARE KRISHNA DEAR GURUMAHARAJA, AGTSP, PAMHO.

Dear Gurudeva, first of all, you want to develop some fiery feasts and that the Mercy of Sri Krishna and your Gurumaharaja His Divine Grace AC Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabbupada, always be poured out on you. I also want to thank UD and Srila Prabhupada for allowing me to continue and be part of this great ISKCON, and try to contribute something, even if it is insifignificant, we realize that we need to do something more, but of course, you have to improve first, we only ask for intelligence to to do it, and our promise to you and Srila Prabhupada is to improve each day more so we can serve you in the best way. All glories to Srila Prabhupada !!!!!!

HpS-ASA - Hare Krishna!

For being away, it is very difficult to do a service for the Temple in Cusco, but whenever I can I go to the programs, the last time I was in the Temple, I felt the annoyance of some devotees. LAD, once told me they see me as disinfected by the TEMPLE, but hey, I know they see the glass half empty, or they see my reality, but surely they must be right, nobody has ever asked me how I am, if I am Well, once I wrote to P. Gourarupa, comment on my activities, keep him informed, but hey, sometimes you also have to know how to give to receive.

I wanted to give the class for the Balarama Festival, it was Saturday, and I made arrangements to be there. It could not, the service is not cheap, I know. They had already organized, the party was held the following Sunday, the class was given by P. Astavarga. Those days I was very bad for a strong flu (change of climate), that Sunday I went to the hospital to give me some remedy, I could return to my house, but I wanted to be in the Temple, and so I went wrong, we believe that was Our desire, and by the mercy of Sri Balarama, can participate in the kirtan, although I did not stay long, I saw how beautiful the party was. I saw P. Amalakaruna and P. Jagaisvara, I could only greet them with joy, I saw them very well, also the family of Jagaisvara was there, how beautiful it is to see all the devotees gathered.

We could not participate in the Sri Janmastami and Srila Prabhupada parties on weekdays, and the work and my memte, did not let us participate. But we did fasting, we broke at midnight and at noon, glorifications in silence but with much love, we sang our rounds, our sadana, we felt that we improved little by little.

Dear Gurumaharaja, thank you very much for your time to read this letter of stupid servant, thank you very much for your mercy without cause, and although we have so many limitations and problems, we try to maintain, we try to improve our sadana, our family, although with many problems , but we know that everything will improve too. We will tell you more things in our next report. May the mercy of Sri Krishna, always be poured out on you.

Hare Krishna Dear Gurumaharaja.

Your useless servant

DTC 4 (Tu)

6 years, 8 months ago by hps in DTC

About, AGTSP, paoho, twelve devotees in the Temple room chanting Japa. Day after Janmastami. We did pretty well. The fast was tough but we did lectures, initiations, conversations....   Now we got internet for few minutes so lets grab it.

Our Vyasa puja offering is in post from Nikunja.

This trip through Spain has been intense: One night in New Vraja Mandala, three nights in Barcelona, Ramblas. It is one of the biggest tourist places in Europe. The smell of alcohol, urine etc floats in the air. People are dressed in loud, plastic colors and trying to beat their bodies like dead horses to get Rasa from their sense.

So unfortunate. We go out with the Sankirtan party and they have an option. Some come. Som join us!

We will write about how to celebrate Janamstami for our ABC Year curriculum.

We sent our Solari article to Abhirama Das.

We wrote back to Sugopis radha Devi Dasi's professor in Boise and will work on an introduction to alternate medicine in psychiatry for her.

O.K. Back to Japa and then presentation from 9-10AM on Srila Prabhupada.
