5th Report: ART and the SACRED

7 years, 3 months ago by abhiramdas in Other

5TH report ART and the SACRED

Hare Krishna respected Gurudeva, please accept my humble obeisances
¡All Glories to Srila Prabhupada!!
¡All Glories to you!!

After an intense work of more than 16 hours of editing and concordance of text, now yes, Héctor Béjar already has, in Spanish, H.H. HpS interview Kalyan Kumar (many thanks to m. Kamalangui from Chile, m. Candra-muki and p. Gandharva from Peru for their valuable contributions in the translation).

ASA - Thank you. Thank you. Thank you! !!

The interview with Héctor will be next week, maybe it's on the beach or in the Inca sanctuary of Pachacamac, which in Spanish means: "The soul of the earth", any suggestions?

HpS - ASA - No, we have been corresponding with Oscar and talked today with you and Hector. By Srila Prabhupada's desire this looks like it may be a super, super, super, BBC level tool. I sent a report to Dr. Kalyan also.

We have started to make two designs: 1) The bilingual brochure on ART AND THE SACRED and 2) a handout, also bilingual: "ART AND THE SACRED, materials" the content is the interview of HpS and KKC, is it all right?

HpS - Let us see the sample before it is too fixed, please.

Now Dr. Alejandro Neyra is no longer Director of the National Library but Minister of Culture, that is favorable in itself because it is a superior position, but, the current political situation in Peru is chaotic, we hope, Krishna, that this situation does not disturb the academic Sankirtana.

With respect to the visits of the NIOS videos, these have not increased significantly at this time the most watched has 464 visits, then 288 and the least visited 166.

HpS - Hare Krsna!!   Please post the links so we can do our work!

Dear Gurudeva, we will try to establish a weekly report rhythm every Friday

Hare Krishna, his insignificant servant, Abhiram Thakur das.

5to Informe EL ARTE Y LO SAGRADO
Hare Krishna respetado Gurudeva, por favor acepte mis humildes reverencias
¡Todas las Glorias a Srila Prabhupada!!
¡Todas las Glorias a Usted!!

Luego de un intenso trabajo de más de 16 horas de edición y concordancia de texto en español, ahora sí, Héctor Béjar ya tiene en español la entrevista de SS HpS con Kalyan Kumar (muchas gracias a m. Kamalangui de Chile, a m. Candra-muki y a p. Gandharva de Perú por sus valiosos aportes en la traducción).

La entrevista será la próxima semana, tal vez sea en la playa o en el santuario Inca de Pachacamac, que en español significa: “el alma de la tierra”, alguna sugerencia?

Hemos empezado a hacer dos diseños: 1) un Brochure bilingüe sobre EL ARTE Y LO SAGRADO y 2) una separata, también bilingüe, en base a la entrevista de HpS y KKC que se llamara EL ARTE Y LO SAGRADO, Materiales o Separata, ¿está bien?

Ahora el Dr. Alejandro Neyra ya no es Director de la Biblioteca Nacional sino Ministro de Cultura, eso es favorable en sí porque es un cargo superior, pero, la situación política actual del Perú es caótica, esperamos, Krishna mediante que esta situación no perturbe el Sankirtana académico.

Con respecto a las visitas de los videos de NIOS estos no han aumentado significativamente en estos momentos el más visto tiene 464 visitas, luego 288 y el menos visitado 166.

Querido Gurudeva, vamos a tratar de establecer un ritmo de reporte semanal todos los viernes.

Hare Krishna, su insignificante sirviente, Abhiram Thakur das.

a swami, well, hmm, haha, not, just a co-worker,, you remember sir how ,, maharaja how the,,,,,, peacock thing, which Prabhupada used to say: the real one and then the copycat peacock, a copy, but then he said also that one shouldn't be negative, too negative also about the real one

HpS - Hmmm. AgtSP. We don't understand this Nanuk Ji. Swami is supposed to be more Das than Brahmana Das, no? Servant of other devotees more than co-worker.   We don't remember any peacock example. What is it?  We are little Sannyasi. American Sannyasi. Follow 4-principles striclty except for too much peanut butter and jelly some times; 16-nice rounds, full-morning program etc.   Yes, lot of room for improvement to come. Definition of Sannyasi we take is NOI 1.

Is O.K?

HARE KRSNA GURUDEVA

7 years, 3 months ago by Germán Vegas in Personal Sadhana Reports

Hare Krsna dear Gurumaharaja
Please, accept my humble obeisances
All glories to Srila Prabhupada!


I hope you are in good health, we are very happy to have your association daily through the FMP, we are very lucky although sometimes we are not aware of that fortune. I wrote to you at the end of last year sending you a short tribute for your Vyasapuja but the message was part of the avalanche of greetings that reached the end of their lives orbiting the sun. Anyway, the celebration of your Vyasapuja was very sincere and was impregnated with your mood, Gurudeva.

ASA - Thank you very much!!  God who sees all things in private will reward us in private! <img alt="angel" height="23" src="http://hps.monkeywarrior.com/sites/all/libraries/ckeditor/plugins/smiley/images/angel_smile.png" title="angel" width="23" />


Regarding the request of Prahlad Nrsimha Prabhu, I can offer my service for anything he needs, it would be great to serve a devotee in his meaningful endeavour. Please, put me in contact with him for coordinations. My email account is: gandharvxxx.


Indira Sakti and I continue to serve in Wilson's pujari, happy, enthusiastic and convinced of the path we have started under your instruction. Likewise, we continue to study Bhakti sastri and  my reading of Srila Prabhupada Lilamrta. It has been fundamental for my enthusiasm and conviction to know a little more about Srila Prabhupada, this work has given me the reasons I urgently needed to lift my spirits and continue my devotional life in his ISKCON.


I thank you again for your association, I hope someday to understand the enormous fortune with which we have been blessed.

Your insignificant servant

Gandharva dasa

HpS - Lilamrta... the one volume or the many volume??     We are sending your address to the Prahlada-nrsmha Das!!!  See you in about 49 day 4 hours!  Export your ISKCON Peru.

Learning from your instructions

Dear Guru Maharaj,

Please accept my most humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada.

Maharaj, I feel so fortunate that you remember this fallen soul and that you send instructions to remind us how to serve the Lord. I am so fortunate that you sent me instructions in the previous email. You have very correctly instructed me that the jewels and gems of the hari-nama have to be shared and not just collected but also distributed to all. I hope to do the same in my weekly Bhagavad-Gita As It Is reading programs that I do every week in Texas A&M University - Kingsville at my STA Newman Hall room. In this program done weekly, we have kirtan, Bhagavad-Gita AS IT IS reading, lecture by senior devotees (over Skype sometimes), aarti, offering bhoga, and distribution of prasadam. I am the faculty advisor for our Vedanta club at Texas A&M University - Kingsville. There is one devotee from Pune - Hrishikesh Prabhuji who is the President of our Vedanta club at Texas A&M University - Kingsville. Then there are Bhanu Kishore Devisetty, Mithilesh Korrapati, Poorna Sai Sama, Sai Srinivas, Sai Krishna Jangala, and many others who are students at Texas A&M University - Kingsville who are committee members of our Vedanta club at Texas A&M University - Kingsville. This Vedanta club at Texas A&M University - Kingsville is now registered officially as a student club.

Early on in this new year, we hope to get your blessings for our continued success of our student club Vedanta at Texas A&M University - Kingsville.

YAS,

Aja Govinda dasa

Vyasa Puja Offering 2017

7 years, 3 months ago by srinath in Personal Sadhana Reports

Dear Guru Maharaja

Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada! All glories to you!

On this auspicious occasion of your Vyasa puja, it gives me great joy to write my first offering. Pure devotees of the Lord like you are not born due to their karma.

HpS - We think you must be seeing the hand of the puppet master, Srila Prabhupada, and talking about him!

You appear on this planet out of your causeless mercy to save conditioned souls like me. I am forever indebted to you Gurudeva for showing your causeless mercy on me and accepting me as your disciple although I have so many faults and am not worthy of it. I am also deeply indebted to Radhika Ramana prabhu for mentoring me. It was because of his mercy that I was able to meet you in Boise. Thankfully, the nature of mercy is causeless.

In the first canto of Srimad Bhagavatam, the sages in Naimisaranya talk about the qualifications of Suta Goswami. In the purport, Srila Prabhupada writes

All bona fide representatives of Śrī Vyāsadeva in the chain of disciplic succession are to be understood to be gosvāmīs. These gosvāmīs restrain all their senses, and they stick to the path made by the previous ācāryas. The gosvāmīs do not deliver lectures on the Bhāgavatam capriciously. Rather, they execute their services most carefully, following their predecessors who delivered the spiritual message unbroken to them. (SB 1.1.5)

You embody Srila Prabhupada's purport and are the perfect representative of Srila Vyasadeva and Srila Prabhupada. Your teachings are so faithful to Srila Prabhupada's teachings and your life is non-different from Srila Rupa Goswami's Upadesamrta. After you doing all the hard work for my initiation, you gifted me the Upadesamrta, which is so close to your heart. I have memorized all the verses from it and it is the least I could do. I want to make Upadesamrta the basis for my spiritual life.

Your unflinching faith in the Maha Mantra and its prioritization is a great example for me. When I was driving you to the airport in Chennai, you were chanting slowly and so enthusiastically. I pray to Krishna that that voice of you chanting the Maha Mantra always stays in my mind. Your advice on the questions I ask are so practical and to the point, so that a neophyte like me can understand and apply it.

Although I have associated with you in this lifetime for a very short period, I feel like I have known you for a very long time. Guru Maharaja, during my initiation lecture, you specifically asked for me and said, "Initiation means Radha Rani gives you magic shoes to fight against the black witch, but you still have to run and you still have to fight". I will fight but the fight can only be successful with your mercy. I hope I will be successful in my fight in this lifetime and not cause you any more pain. On this auspicious day, I hope and beg to Krishna that my actions do not bring displeasure to you and I can be of some service to you in your service to Srila Prabhupada.

Your unworthy servant

Srinatha Krsna dasa

HpS - AGTSP!!  We are just an ill formed peanut trying to be of use to Srila Prabhupada and if you see  us as an elephant it is because the elephant has taken an interest in eating the peanut.

Sankirtan!!!!     Moving to Dallas???
