All glories to Still Prabhupada.

HH Humanumantpresaka please accept my obeisances.

HpS - ASA --- AgtSP!

You're Grace, I'm so fortunate to finally [have] figured out how to get your association and I feel I struck gold to be able to see how a Sannyasi deals with a platitude of situations and challenges that this world puts us in.

HpS - Ya gotta keep 'ur chin up, Mate!

You've showed me that you are person that I can dedicate my life to and try to do some kind of Seva in this world.

HpS - ASA - Huh!?     We showed you that???    You must be misinterpreting the data.   AGTSP!   We are like a link to Srila Prabhupada, but not perfect, so get others also eg. His books!!

If there's any way I can provide services in India, Australia or anywhere on the planet,vthis monkey will try to stay out of the way.

Thanks for your patience and mercy on allowing me access into the inner sanctum.

HpS - This is like the middle sanctum. The inner is reserved for madmen like Lord Caitanya.  '@'pop~ 

One "service" you can do, is to look at your life from the viewpoint of a common guy in your country, write it down and send it here.

Querido Gurumaharaja 

¡Por favor acepte nuestras respetuosas reverencias!

¡ Todas las glorias a Srila Prabhupada!

El grupo de estudios de iniciación Harinama queremos hacerle una pregunta.

Estamos hablando del tema  "Fe y Religión en Conciencia de Krsna"

Hemos leído que  un madhyama adhikari aunque no sepa respaldar su posición con las sastras su FE ES FIRME pero si no toma asociación de un devoto de primera clase el madhyama adhikari no progresa. 

La pregunta es:

¿ La fe de un madhyama adhikari puede caer a la posición de kanistha adhikari?

HpS - Unos esta dejando servicio devocional completa, no, y convertiendo a Karmis. Entonces, fe de ellos es en actividades frutivas basado en su recursos materiales.

Entonces, si uno puede caer de Madhayma a Kanistha. 

La próxima semana estaremos enviando detalles del taller de estudios.
HpS - ASA -  Jaya!  Harinama Sankirtana en Mejico!   Musica!   Banderas!    Baile...  Tamales!   KRSNA en la corazon...

Gracias por Su misericordiosa atención Gurumaharaja.

Sus aspirantes a sirvientes. 

HpS - ASA  --- Hare Krsna/Hare Rama!     Jaya Radha/Jaya Shyama!      Vamanos a la proxima carta! >>>>>>>>  >>>>>>  >>>>    Buena suerte con su curso...

HpS - ASA -- Please accept ours, Sir! (Figure 1, below)

we persay are writing HH asked us to report....

ASA - Report!

we thank you for asking editor of Viplavah, to send us individual email. you thought about us, thats our hope.

what can we say seems its all mind rambling.

we moved near to Sri Sri Radha Parthsarthi, Delhi. Apartment is only 400 metres. We try to attend morning program. and other program.. so temple visit 4 days in a week ....

but still struggling to make associates here/chant regularly/read regularly...

we are Dr. frog now........

HpS - ASA - Before you were Bachelor Horse!

by studying astrology . we found that we as partners are incompatible--only pleasure is of upastha....

ASA - Should move to Italy. Everyone loves pasta there.
 

our mind will remain agitated,
however we will be spiritually inclined.
_____________________________
we find it tough to integrate our karmi life with rounds / no-onion garic diet/ book reading/family life.

seems v r living fake life/ like bellow pipe.....
 

gradually v r getting convinced that without parental or  spouse or local devotee support, we can can not continue dual life of karmi
/devotee....... v got two opt one.....

though we know there is no loss in this movement, but we get agitated, frustrated that we are not moving close initiation levels.

i thank you for remembering us, being our light, hope we can follow some day path chalked by you.....

Monkey/Piggy - Don't be a fool.    Don't trust The Witch, "Be a Karmi and Enjoy Life!"    Meditate on it, notice it, for one week, what things you like to do, then write to us here with the exciting news eg. arm wrestle with pythons in the Amazon, throw chairs at iritating students...

.... waiting with baited breath!!!!!!

You are our main hope for ISKCON Zanzibar.

All Glories To You Guru dev

hope that the health of your eyes is better.

HpS - AgtSP!!!    Paoho......    You are very kind to write to us!     We hope that our eyes are better. Seems that resting them is important. They are maybe a little better.   How is your donkey.

we are here in the winter of cordoba cutting wood to heat the wood stove. 

to much dead trees help us to be warm.

HpS - They collect sunlight!

 i m accepting my karma to be humble and tolerant, also triying to contemplete the diferent situation. some are with to much dificulties, for example i continue with the house without bathroom , without some walls, i have to close it, etc but the main thing is the lonliness and the dificulties to organize preaching programs. may be the biggest obstacle it s myself. i m contempleting and i need better inteligence and sadhana to be with a better perspective. i continue with difficulties to be regular on wake up early and finish my rounds.

hari vamsi dhari is growing very well and happy, we dance, chant and worship the deitie together, same time the worship with him is dificult, he want to do what i do. 

a few weeks ago some devotees of another province (600 km from here) invite us to give a lecture and participate in a vaisnava festival.

they were happy with our service and want to visit regularly and help with the preaching there.

we are working with videos and edition, ( we are waiting for work now) and we star selling prasadam so that is a good service and help us to survive. 

please bless us to go to chile to have your asociation and be usuful in service.thank you

Waiting for any suggestions for our service.

Dear Guru Maharaja, please accept my humble obeisances.

All glories to Srila Prabhupada!

Herein I am answering to your question from Twitter: “CC Madhya 9.362. Why is this purport worth $1,111? Please answer in Blog [paib].”

• If one is envious, the first two sentences give a method how to become non envious. (One must have firm faith in the process of devotional service and the scriptures that support it. If one hears the activities of Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu with this faith, he can be freed from his envious position.)

• (Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam is meant for such nonenvious persons, nirmatsarāṇāṁ satām.) I find this sentence important but can not collect my thoughts to write it down why is so. <img alt="indecision" height="23" src="https://hps.monkeywarrior.com/sites/all/libraries/ckeditor/plugins/smiley/images/whatchutalkingabout_smile.png" title="indecision" width="23" />

HpS - It struck us that we are envious. Thus we cannot understand SB.

• (In this age a person should not envy Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu’s movement but should chant the holy names of Hari and Kṛṣṇa, the mahā-mantra. That is the sum and substance of the eternal religion, known as sanātana-dharma.) Gives the basic meaning of eternal religion.

HpS - It also gives the more basic understanding of "Hare" in the Maha-mantra as the vocative form of "Hari" rather than "Hara". Most people would take the Maha-mantra as addressing Hari, Krsna and Rama, not Radha, Hara. We have access to an esoteric meaning!

•  

• One who follows a pure devotee and fully realized soul [you will have to find him/her first], the evidence of transcendental sound and chants the holy name of the Supreme Personality of Godhead will actually be situated in the transcendental disciplic succession. Meaning, you want to be in the chain of transcendental teachers, then do this. Moreover, by doing this a follower attains life’s ultimate goal.

• Srila Prabhuapada gives a verse from Srimad Bhagavatam in the purport, Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam (11.19.17). It is interesting to compare this translation with the one by Srila Prabhupada’s disciples. Then thinking about it, few ideas come:

  • how translations differ but in the deeper meaning do not differ (is that so?)

  • There are the four kinds of evidential proof. Everyone should stick to these principles for the realization of the Absolute Truth. Meaning, direct perception, history and hypothesis are also good to use for a devotee and not just get rid of it completely.

HpS - Of course, these are the three aspects of epistemology that we see in the Introduction to the Isopanisad and we have heard that they are also the basis for the Tattva-sandarbha of Jiva Goswami!  Is it all coming from this SB verse!  Is SB really the basis of all these things!

~~~

Do not know why, but just by sitting down, considering your question and writing the ideas, I feel a solid fulfillment. <img alt="heart" height="23" src="https://hps.monkeywarrior.com/sites/all/libraries/ckeditor/plugins/smiley/images/heart.png" title="heart" width="23" /><img alt="smiley" height="23" src="https://hps.monkeywarrior.com/sites/all/libraries/ckeditor/plugins/smiley/images/regular_smile.png" title="smiley" width="23" />  Partly it could be because of CC Madhya 9.364 The more one hears the pastimes of Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu with faith, analytically studying them, the more one attains the ecstatic riches of love of Godhead.

Thank you!

Your servant

Namacarya das

PS: At the end of your question you wrote “[paib]”. What it means?

HpS - Post Answer In Blog.  We noted in our heart that this Chapter of CC is very long... but the last few verses are incredible quide to our books, epistemology. I want to get free from lust and find my position in the cowherding Goloka again!   Lot to do.

Thank you!!!
