All Glories to Srila Prabhupada

All Glories to You

HpS/ASA - Maybe.... maybe... a few glories to us.

My most humble reverences

We had a meeting with the temple authorities, Mother Asta Sakhi DD and my parents, where, like my previous meeting, we still do not have a date for the recommendation letter. Another year is considered adequate if everything flows properly.

We continue to chant at least 16 rounds, we continue to practice the 4 principles, we have a small morning worship program at home, holding garland services and every day at the Radha Krshna Boutique of the CDMX Temple.

Responding, devotee Caitanya Nitay is my boyfriend.

HpSwami/ASA - We would like to hear from him about his Sankirtan etc as he has time. Seems like you may be bother very lucky, like Devahuti and Kardama Muni.

We have the email address [email protected] and the telephone number +52 5538...

HpS - With some effort Tom Brown, Secretary for ASA put them in our Contacts!

Pamho. Agtsp.

Excellent class. So much information. How can I digest?

Can you text me the reference you made from 1st canto about similar question?

[1/2/2024 3:53 PM] HpS/ASA: Chini Desa, Sugar Land, Where Radha Gokulananda's sweet smiles shake the hearts of all the devotees?

https://vedabase.io/en/library/sb/2/8/7/ is what I think asks that question. I could not research it in detail, but I certainly remember the same question in Pada padma.

Thank you.

Año nuevo, Yatra nuevo!!! - Casi Urgente.

Hk querido Gurudeva al fin puedo escribirle, el león saltó hasta la finca de Brihuega, la casa de Radha Govinda Candra, es como lo soñé, gente muy comprometida con el servicio devocional, buen estándar de pujari, clases, prasadham, Maharaja Yadunandana un super líder, un hermoso asram muy tranquilo, hermosa naturaleza, y un frío intenso sobre o bajo cero, llevadero por las comodidades del lugar.

Mucha ayuda de mis compatriotas, muy agradecida con ellos. Es gracioso las Yasodas de Tilda y España, son como mis ángeles de la guardia. Arreglos de Krsna. En Lima servía al Señor Jaganatha y aquí el Krsna también es negrito y grande, muy hermoso. Sus bendiciones para poder servirlo pronto.

Prometí este año estar aquí y aunque hubo muchas pruebas de todo calibre, como la partida de mi papá, gracias a su ayuda pude recuperarme rápidamente. Lo logré! Misericordia de Krsna.

Como brahmacari me siento muy a gusto con actividades espirituales desde muy temprano, más si es en grupo, uno se entusiasma, así que mi vivienda esta sobrecargada de una atmosfera espiritual gracias a sus bendiciones.

En la tradición católica hay muchas monjas, en la nuestra la mayoría de mujeres creen que su vida se resuelve casándose, para mi es una bendición tanto, tener hijos o no tenerlos, casarse o no hacerlo.

Es bonito ser brahmacarini, esa es mi naturaleza, libre para servir donde Krsna me mande.

Desde que vine me regulé en el uso del celular, menos prajalpa.

Le pido sus bendiciones para distribuir muchos libros, de alguna manera debemos generar ingresos para pasajes. Es muy diferente que la gente de Perú, vi a un devoto que le va bien, cuento con que a mi me ocurrirá lo mismo.

Estoy con muchos devotos peruanos y algunos que conocí en latinoamérica.

Me ilusiona saber que pronto vendrá, mientras nos veremos en Su vyasa puja.

Jay Gurudeva! Hay tanta gente a quien agradecer. Empezamos el año nuevo, en nuevo Yatra, nuevas deidades, nuevos amigos, nuevo hogar, camino de vuelta al Supremo.

Feliz año nuevo Gurudeva!!!

Hk dear Gurudeva, I can finally write to you, the lion jumped to the Brihuega farm, the house of Radha Govinda Candra, it is just as I dreamed, people very committed to devotional service, good standard of pujari, classes, prasadham, Maharaja Yadunandana a super leader, a beautiful, very quiet asram, beautiful nature, and an intense cold above or below zero, bearable by the comforts of the place.

A lot of help from my compatriots, very grateful to them. It's funny the Yasodas of Tilda and Spain, they are like my guardian angels. Arrangements of Krsna. In Lima he served Lord Jaganatha and here Krsna is also black and big, very beautiful. Blessings to him to be able to serve him soon.

I promised to be here this year and although there were many trials of all caliber, such as my father's departure, thanks to his help I was able to recover quickly. I did it! Mercy of Krsna.

As a brahmacari I feel very comfortable with spiritual activities from very early on, especially if it is in a group, one gets enthusiastic, so my home is overloaded with a spiritual atmosphere thanks to his blessings.

In the Catholic tradition there are many nuns, in ours the majority of women believe that their lives are resolved by getting married, for me it is such a blessing, to have children or not to have them, to get married or not to.

It is nice to be a brahmacarini, that is my nature, free to serve wherever Krsna sends me.

Since I came I have regulated my cell phone use, less prajalpa.

I ask for your blessings to distribute many books, somehow we must generate income for tickets. It is very different than the people of Peru, I saw a devotee who is doing well, I am counting on the same thing to happen to me.

I am with many Peruvian devotees and some that I met in Latin America.

I am excited to know that he will soon come, as we will see each other at his vyasa puja.

Jay Gurudeva! There are so many people to thank. We begin the new year, in a new Yatra, new deities, new friends, new home, path back to the Supreme.

Happy New Year Gurudeva!!!

HpS/ASA - AgtSP. I think that all of ISKCON is changing! Some places sooner. Some places later.

After years and years and years of struggling with own minds and senses and the social problems, we seeing a result.

Maybe Daivi varna ashrama Dharma is really developing.

Of course, it is all a Battle of Kuruksetra in this world, but we do want to see the Pandavas win!!

Our respects to all.

Hope you get a wave of book distribution, with many partners.

Repectst to the very senior ladies there!!

We are russsshhhhing to the temple for sunday festival.

More nectar than poison

Hare Krishna Maharaja

Please accept my humble obeisances

All glories to Srila Prabhupada

Dear Maharaja,

During these days I have remembered with enthusiastic gratitude the suggestions you gave us in response to my last letter, in combination with the university text that Radha-vallabha Das gave you “On writing well”

I have tried to apply the idea following your instructions. So we get this new card. Which I planned to send in a few weeks, so that there is enough time for maturation in the important things that are written, but I have just read the letter about the incidents in Peru, and although I am totally ignorant about the matter, I have felt urgency to send you this letter right now. I think it is because it has caused me distress that you have been distressed. So please kindly accept this humble offering from me.

…………

More nectar than poison

On one occasion, we witnessed an argument between two devotees (sadu sanga).

One of them. The older devotee argued emphatically in favor of the “quality” of the singing over the “quantity” of Names that could be achieved by vibrating them – by pushing them-.

While the youngest, highlighted as a priority, the commitment to reach the certain number of daily accounts without dwelling too much on “quality.”

As an observer, we try to balance both fundamentals internally, so that we can take advantage of the incident and improve our practice.

After treasuring the antagonistic words between the two... The personal analysis of the discussion witnessed naturally began...

“We have made a promise to our Gurudeva to complete -1,728- beads at least /4 daily. I told myself.

We truly have the firm conviction to do it (with enthusiasm, by will, or by force?).

“The warnings about the offenses that may be committed while we sing and the displeasure of feeling like offenders are not minor.”

The weakness of the mind barely allows, sometimes, only sometimes, small areas of sanity while I sing... relieving, fresh and sweet spaces, perhaps comparable to the palliative experienced by a thirsty person on the verge of dying, who, upon recovering a certain emotional balance by drink water in that oasis, which he has fortunately found, and which he tries to hold on to with nails and teeth, anticipating the imminent offensive of the crazy elephant. He resists having to give up.

We simultaneously feel the presence of Maya in her black aspect, trying to prevent us from escaping from this world, but who... submissively surrenders herself to the will of Radha Krishna, exhibiting her essence before the Lord, who leans towards His devotee, already on the verge of crying. … orders the mooring to be unblocked, as far as possible. TGSP

¿’How many times have I caught my mind red-handed in frightful distractions, having already sung a considerable number of accounts before having discovered it? …

¿How can we evaluate any positive result without expediting the virtue of extracting nectar from poison?

¿ ?

Meanwhile I continue… I continue: attending to “quality” over “quantity”, and “quantity” over “quality”…

…….

The demon Balvala flew over the places of sacrifice, spreading all kinds of filth on them. However, his offenses motivated the brahmanas to take him into account during what happened at the Naimisaranya assembly, when Lord Balarama decided to kill Romaharsana Suta by hitting him with a blade of kusa grass.

(Krsna The Fountain of Pleasure- 26/ The Killing of Dantavakra, Vidurata and Romaharsana. Pg 183)

…………

I honestly believe that it would not take me too long to fall into the mud of spiritual inappetence, if Lord Krsna did not help my memory, with what would allow my mind to overcome its malpractice.

“I will never die,” Srila Prabhupada once said. “I will live forever in my books” (The science of self-realization Prologue)

……..

The breathing.

The touch on each account.

I will close the doors to external agents.

The noises.

The mosquitos.

The dream.

hunger and thirst

To the colored lights and the ordinary commitments of daily life etc.

………

…dear mind

I am your well-wisher

Our intention is to conquer you

Let's drink the nectar

Please do not be angry

…now that you have softened your treatment of this confused soul. Take the unlimited nectary flow of the transcendental pastimes of the Lord.

We can continue?

- Father Brain: Of course...I could even help you build a neat articulated machine that automatically pours ice water on us the moment our head falls suddenly in sleep!

- Max: mmm… It could help!

IMAGINATIVE PICTURE

We travel driving a car

A Ford A

Over an ocean of mud

The companion carries the route sheet in his hands.

Srila Prabhupada

All glories be to his lotus feet.

About the rearview mirror

The traces are left behind

In perspective

A zigzagging journey.

Ahead the horizon

In the firm image of faith

Thousands of gopis established in diversities of colors

Safeguarded by the storm cloud

On a painter's palette

Intense colors and textures delicately blend on the horizon.

Dancing

Thousands and thousands of goddesses of fortune

The extremely attractive young man…

simultaneously dances with each of them.

And each one of them believes that only she dances with Him.

can't save you. You can't save yourself. Only KRSNA can save you. (HPS)

…all glories be to your apple and honey feet.

HpS/ASA - Our basic appreciation is that anyone who chants sixteen rounds with as much enthusiasm as they can to follow Srila Prabhupada's instruction, and then chants the Maha-mantras as much as possible the rest of the day is a disciple of Srila Prabhupada, and is purifying himself in the best possible way!

Hare Krishna Maharajá

Por favor acepta mis humildes reverencias

Todas las glorias a Srila Prabhupada

Querido Maharajá:

Durante estos días he recordado con entusiasta gratitud las sugerencias que nos diste como respuesta a mi última carta, en mixtura al texto universitario que Radha-vallabha Das te diera “Sobre escribir bien”

He tratado de aplicar la idea siguiendo tus indicaciones. Así que conseguimos esta nueva carta. La cual pensaba enviar en unas semanas, a fin de que haya suficiente tiempo de maduración en las cosas importantes que se escriben, pero acabo de leer la carta sobre los incidentes en Perú, y si bien me encuentro totalmente ignorante acerca del asunto, he sentido urgencia por enviarte esta carta ahora mismo. Estimo, se debe, a que me ha provocado angustia el que te hayas angustiado. Así que, por favor, ten a bien aceptar esta humilde ofrenda de mi parte.

…………

Más néctar que veneno

En una ocasión, presenciamos una discusión entre dos devotos (sadu sanga)

Uno de ellos. El devoto mayor, argumentaba enfáticamente a favor de la “calidad” del canto por sobre la “cantidad” de Nombres que se pudieran llegar a conseguir vibrándolos -a los empujones-.

Mientras que el más joven, subrayaba como prioridad, el compromiso por alcanzar el determinado número de cuentas diarias sin detenerse demasiado en la “calidad”.

Como observador, tratamos de balacear ambos fundamentos en nuestro fuero interno, a modo de poder aprovechar el incidente y poder mejorar nuestra práctica.

Luego de atesorar las palabras antagónicas entre ambos… Comenzó naturalmente el análisis personal sobre la discusión presenciada…

“Hemos hecho la promesa a nuestro Gurudeva de completar diariamente -1.728- cuentas como mínimo /4. Me dije.

Tenemos verdaderamente la firme convicción de hacerlo (con entusiasmo, por voluntad, ¿o por la fuerza?).

“Las advertencias sobre las ofensas que se puedan llegar a cometer mientras cantamos y el disgusto por sentirnos ofensores no es algo menor.”

La debilidad de la mente apenas permite, a veces, solo a veces, pequeñas áreas de cordura mientras canto… espacios aliviosos, frescos y dulces, quizá comparables al paliativo experimentado por un sediento a punto de morir, que, al recuperar cierto equilibrio emocional por beber agua en ese oasis, con el que afortunadamente se ha encontrado, y al que intenta asirse con uñas y dientes, previendo la inminente ofensiva del elefante loco. Se resiste a tener que abandonar.

Sentimos paralelamente la presencia de Maya en su aspecto negro, pretendiendo impedirnos la huida de este mundo, pero que… sumisamente se entrega a la voluntad de Radha Krisna, exhibiendo su esencia ante el Señor, que inclinado hacia Su devoto ya a punto de llorar … ordena destrabar el amarre, hasta donde sea posible. TGSP

¡¿Cuántas veces he sorprendido a mi mente infraganti en distracciones espantosas, habiendo cantado ya un considerable número de cuentas antes de haberla descubierto? …

¿Cómo poder evaluar algún resultado positivo sin agilizarnos en la virtud de extraer néctar del veneno?

¿ ?

Mientras tanto continúo… continúo: atendiendo la “calidad” por sobre la “cantidad”, y la “cantidad” por sobre la “calidad” …

…….

El demonio Balvala sobrevolaba los lugares de sacrificio esparciendo sobre ellos todo tipo de inmundicias. Sin embargo, sus ofensas motivaron a los bramanas a que fuera tenido en cuenta durante lo ocurrido en la asamblea de Naimisaranya, cuando el Señor Balarama decidió darle muerte a Romaharsana Suta golpeándolo con una brizna de hierva kusa.

(Krsna La fuente del Placer- 26/ La matanza de Dantavakra, Vidurata y Romaharsana. Pg 183)

…………

Honestamente creo que no tardaría demasiado tiempo en caer al barro de la inapetencia espiritual, si en caso el Señor Krsna no prestara auxilio a mi memoria, con aquello que le permitiera a mi mente superar su mala praxis.

“Yo nunca habré de morir”, dijo una vez Śrīla Prabhupāda. “Viviré por siempre en mis libros” (La ciencia de la autorrealización Prólogo)

……..

La respiración.

El tacto sobre cada cuenta.

Serraré las puertas a los agentes externos.

Los ruidos.

Los mosquitos.

El sueño.

El hambre y la sed

A las luces de colores y a los compromisos ordinarios de la vida cotidiana etc.

………

Querida mente

Soy tu bien queriente

Nuestra intención es conquistarte

Bebamos el néctar

Por favor…no te enfades

… ahora que has suavizado tu trato para con esta alma confundida. Tomemos el ilimitado flujo nectario de los trascendentales pasatiempos del Señor.

Podemos avanzar¡?

- Padre Brain ¡¡Por supuesto¡¡…Hasta podría ayudarte a construir una prolija maquina articulada que automáticamente derrame agua helada sobre nosotros, al momento en que la cabeza caiga bruscamente abatida por el sueño¡¡

- Max mmm… ¡Podría servir ¡

CUADRO IMAGINATIVO

Viajamos conduciendo un automóvil

Un Ford A

Sobre un océano de barro

El acompañante lleva en sus manos la hoja de ruta.

Todas las glorias sean a sus pies de loto.

Sobre el espejo retrovisor

Las huellas van quedando atrás

En perspectiva

Un zigzagueante transitar.
