Hare Krishna!

All glories to Srila Prabhupada!

Please accept my must humble obeisances at your lotus feet.

HpS - AgtSP!!! We look at our feet and they look pretty youthful. That is amazing for 70-year old American feet. Must be the miracle of Yoga, miracle of Srila Prabhupada's path.

Maharaja , i hope you are in good health and doing good!

HpS - Actually we feel very bad. Oooof! Oink!!! Body is aching. Some nausea. Where is the Sun of the Yadu dynasty? Where is the baby that Devaki lost in a moment after He appeared?

Well, it´s been a while since the last time i wrote,

HpS - ASA - Yep. Everyone thought you had gone to the Great Banana Forest in the Sky.

. . . but i decide to take a time to organize everything to be able to handle all this that is under my responsibility, my daughter, my occupation and my devotional service.

ASA - Also your finger nails!

At the moment I'm following my principals at point, reading more and attending to the temple and Bhavagad-Gita classes as much as my occupations allows me. i started to do my service in the temple´s kitchen, and starting my bhakta course this month. i had a time were my job, my occupations and some health issues kept me really busy so i wasn't able to attend to Sunday´s service here at the temple, but i´m better now and everything for now is on point. H.H Bhakti Bhusana Swami was here in Panama a couple of weeks ago,

HpS - Why did he go there? Do they have first class basket ball?

i attended to his classes and kirtan he did in the Bhakti-yoga Center here in Panama.

I´m Venezuelan, and as i knew Maharaja was there before he came to Panama we got a chance to talk about the situation there. many question came to my mind, and i asked few to Maharaja Bhakti-Bhusana, but some other came to me after he left the country, and i was wondering to ask this questions to you, as a way to clarify some doubts i have.

first question would be: What could be a reason for the collective Karma this people are suffering, and i refer specifically to spiritual matters.

HpS - They crucified Jesus in their last lifetime.

. . . if there is, could you give me an example of an ancient civilization that has had to suffer collective karma? i would really appreciate your answer, so i can be able to understand the aspects of karma better.

HpS - Aaag! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nanjing_Massacre

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Holocaust,

etc. etc. Taking birth in USA where Mac Donalds is King is also the Karma of all the people.

Association with Maharaja was pure nectar, i asked for advises to keep my Sadhana steady, and he told me to associate with elder or more experience devotees, to keep my service and bhakti strong and growing!

thanks for you valuable time and for reading this!

Hare Krishna!!!

HpS - Thank you for news of Maharaja! We sit and talk sometimes. https://www.vedabase.com/en/cc/madhya/22/113

Hope we get pictures here soon!!! Read the answers to other letters!!

Todas las Glorias a Srila Prabhupada y a su sankirtana

Hare Krsna Gurudev, pamho, perdone por estas cosas que han pasado con el prabhu. ...., estoy tratando de asimilar porque hizo eso, quizas no es grave, pero es la actitud como lo hizo, yo estoy muy mal también de todo esto y trato de entender su error y lo perdono. Este año ha sido muy difícil, muchas decepciones de devotos que confiábamos para hacer el proyecto Club Gauranga y quizás también se decepcionaron de nosotros..., estamos luchando y queremos que las cosas se hagan correctas, pero todo sale mal, empiezo a perder fuerzas, siento que ya no doy más querido Gurudev, quisiera aveces irme corriendo lejos tan lejos son demasiadas pruebas o maya no lo se..., recuerdo cuando Ud. nos dijo en la ceremonia de fuego en nuestro matrimonio, muchas pruebas, muchas pruebas..., seguimos con nuestras 16/4 rondas y principios, quizás no estén bien nuestras rondas y oramos a las deidades para que todo esto mejore y las cosas se puedan dar para club Gauranga, quizás nos falta más sinceridad e inteligencia ... ¿porque pasan estas cosas querido Gurudeva, quizás no estamos siguiendo como debe ser sus instrucciones?

Necesito meditar más en sus instrucciones de nuevo y empezar de cero y seguir orando... solo me queda eso...

por favor perdónenos por la carta que le enviamos a su correo, nosotros también lloramos por lo que pasó, fué una instrucción de la autoridad para informarle a Ud. de lo que estaba pasando.

tratando de mejorar,

Nadiya Nivasi Dasi

HpS - Hare Krsna. Hare Krsna!!! Va a morir veinte minutes despues de leer esta carta. . . .

Entonces, que vale? O tiene que ir a China 20-minutos despues de . . . nunca volver. Hmmm! Que vamos a hacer? Buscamos devotos? Si, no? Cantar "Hare Krsna, Hare Krsna...". Leer el Caitanya Caritamrta? El libro KRSNA? Hare Krsna, Hare Krsna!!!! Solamente hay UNA persona confiable? Quien es? Todo la demas son confiable como ayudamos acercarse a EL. No esperamos ser conocido por El. Solamente esperamos que El es feliz. Hay placeres cual solamente incrementen? Podemos arrelegar ellos para nuestra amigo?

NitayGoura Premanande!!! querido y siempre recordado Gurudev,

por favor acepte mis humildes y respetuosas reverencias,

"TODAS LAS GLORIAS A SRILA PRABHUPADA"

HpS - ASA -- Hare Krsna! Mataji! Gracias para el tryptico de Gaura-Nitai et al. Con Senyor Nrsmha y Hanuman es nuestra altar.

                                                     Quedé muy triste, pues no pude ir a despedirlo a su partida de Lima,

HpS - Prabhupada dijo, "Cuando estamos cantando, estamos impactados juntos, no hay separacion. HK/HR".

. . .no pude conseguir el permiso en el trabajo, mi tristeza continuó pues tampoco pude escribirle por el Blog al parecer está ocurriendo unos inconvenientes en la línea ..... en realidad, mi tristeza ya viene de tiempo, con las complicaciones de mi salud ya no tengo la oportunidad de verlo mas seguido, o de hacer servicio fijo en los Templos como antes lo hacia, llevo una situación bastante restringida .... el proceso de la enfermedad va en aumento he perdido fuerza en la mano derecha ahora trabajo con la izquierda....  siempre en la vida de un discípulo caído como yo, necesitamos su asociación en Vapu, es lo que nos dá fuerzas, nos llena de entusiasmo!!! ..... pero, en las circunstancias que me toca vivir, sólo puedo recordarlo, y, decirle a mi Mente :"todo esta bien, Gurudev me dijo, que mientras haga servicio a Krishna él siempre estará junto a mi" .... todos los días en el traslado trabajo hago Sankirtan y, pienso en ud. en el canto de mis rondas pienso en ud. , leemos el Bhagavad Gita conmi Padre, y, pienso en ud... siempre en cada actividad de Conciencia de Krishna pienso en ud., el grupo de Chat de mis amigas devotas en Uruapan(mexico) predican a las chicas nuevas con el libro audio de la Sankirtanera, y, sólo puedo pensar en ud. cuán magnánimo y compasivo es ud. con un alma tan caída e inútil como yo, ..... finalmente querido y siempre recordado Gurudev, en Separación sólo puedo llorar como un perro que extraña ver a su dueño.... en ésta Sagrada Maratón de diciembre, dedicaré los fines de semana para hacer Maha-Sankirtan, para recordar su Sonrisa, pues, cada libro que distribuya para el placer del Patita Pavana "Srila Prabhupada"  ud. SONRIE ....

                                                                  Radhe, Radhe, Radhe......

su inútil y torpe sirvienta

m. jambavati d.d. 

HpS - Jaya, Srila Prabhupada. Cuantos libros necesitamos distribuir. Puede distribuir uno libro a una persona quien va a distribuir mas libros que hay estrellas en el cielo.

Llevando noticias de Krsna a Su amigas, "Esta noche vamos a bailar." Envia mas noticias aqui como es posible. Que cuerpo quiere en su proxima vida? Puri con Gauranga?

MORE MOON BEAMS FROM A LARGER LUNACY

I ONCE KNEW a bear named houdini,

who was never inclined to be greedy.

he lived on fried almonds and sesame buns,

that he bartered for swift, certain, messenger runs

-postal service of goloka.

-messages for mount govardhana.

with a small boy on his back,

carrying a sack,

he would lope from village to mountain.

-lunch bags.

running to keep cows together,

you work up a big appetite.

-one hundred, thousand, million, billion cows running everywhere.

on wild celery they crunch, the cows,

while the boys eat their lunch,

and discuss the tales in puranas and veda.

some will back subal, and some will back rama,

some varutthapa, some will back shyama.

cottage cheese, pints of beer, with no alcohol to make it queer.

a whole village singing, and dancing, so rama-krsna can hear.

BLACK and WHITE had a fight,

And RED was born between them.

What about T. BROWN and Buck WHITE?

ORANGE will always team them.

===============

Dinky opened the door and an enourmos head jumped out.

It had slavering fans and rapacious claws.

" I am the demi-urge", it did shout.

Then it jerked back violently, standing upright in livid pride.

Dinky slammed the door and said to himself, gasping for breath, "No you're knot! There's no hue-mill-it-tea in your stride!"

-One must have both power and humility to be a Church Governor.

===============

donkey david and ducky dan,

lived on flax and roasted bran,

in the deserts of afganistan,

with a very awful plan,

to rescue the writer, thomas mann,

from buring in the frying pan,

where his wicked karma ran.

===============

Thomas Mann, born June 6, 1875, was 21-years when Prabhupada was born and died August 12, 1955. when Srila Prabhupada was fifty-nine years old. His early novels, "Buddenbrooks" (1900), "Death in Venice" (1912), and "The Magic Mountain" (1924), earned him the Nobel Prize for Literature, 1929.

Mann’s concern is to provide a myth for his own times, capable of sustaining and directing his generation and of restoring a belief in the power of humane reason.

Hare Krsna Dear Gurudev,

   Please accept my humble obeisances at your lotus feet.

HpS - ASA - At least they are clean!

   All glories to Srila Prabhupada.

   All glories to Guru parampara.

   Gurudev, going to start tomorrow (December 14, 2018) for chhattisgarh and will be back

   on January 11, 2019 in Pune.

  During traveling internet won't be accessible for some places and same for cell also.

   would post annual report in few days.

   Thank you Gurudev.

your fallen servant,

Girivaradhari-Gopal Das

HpS - Jaya!!!! Got your Whatsapp message. Preach, preach, preach, smile at people!! Chant while you are in transit.
