Japa Meditations

7 years, 3 months ago by aja.govinda in Personal Sadhana Reports

Dear Guru Maharaja,

Please accept my most humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada and to your glorious service unto him.

I have been working on improving my Sadhana and have been actively trying to improve my meditation during Japa.

ASA - Super!!   You will burn up Texas!

      I found that these days my meditation has been that I am collecting spiritual gemstones. Each Mantra is a spiritual gemstone talisman that I am collecting, which will help me fight my lifetimes of bad karma and will protect me from evil within and without. This meditation helps me fight my base animalistic urge to resist chanting, an urge that always tries to push my mind towards other directions, anything other than japa. I still have a lot of improving to do, but I am trying to strengthen my meditation on the spiritual gemstones of hari-nama.

HpS - Rupa Goswami wrote about a miser collecting the jewels of Hari nama and not sharing them with anyone.

This Christmas, I was remembering very vividly hearing about your lectures on Lord Jesus Christ. You described him as logos, the word incarnate, the incarnation of God's word. I remember the saying, "In the beginning, there was the word, and the word was with God." I hope to always keep your precious teachings in the core of my heart. Praying for your mercy on the auspicious day of Christmas (the day celebrating logos, Lord Jesus Christ).

Aspiring to be your disciple,

Aja Govinda Dasa

HpS - Hare Krsna!!   More news!  Who are you friends, associates, plans.   So much to do!!!

Hare krsna guru maharaj

por favor acepte mis respetuosas reverencias,

todas las glorias sean a srila prabhupada,

todas las glorias sean a sri sri guru y gauranga,

todas las glorias a los vaisnavas,

toda las glorias a usted.

Aqui estamos en maraton de sankirtan al norte de buenos aires, estuvimos en parana y santa fe, ahora estamos en rosario. Este mes en esta actividad hemos experimentado muchas aventuras; dias con dificultad para dormir por los insectos, dias con 40 grados de temperatura, dias de tormentas y lluvia, gente que intento golpearnos e insultarnos, dolencias del cuerpo, hambre, sed, sueño, gente interesada  agradecida, algunos programas de predica, etc.

En toda circunstancia krsna siempre estuvo ayudandonos y dandonos fuerza para continuar. A veces quise abandonar todo y no predicar, a veces infeliz, a veces la mente como enemiga, pero antes de tomar la decision y hacer algo, krsna se manifestaba y daba el impulso para seguir...

ASA - Jaya, Sri Krsna!!

El dia de su vyasa puja no pude hacer nada para glorificarlo, espero mejorar...

Lei su carta de ofrenda a prabhupada y me siento muy pequeño, pero con el deseo de aportar en algo a la mision. Tambien intento ser una menor carga para usted, por favor ayudeme, deseo mantenerme predicando y experimentar amor por krsna, espero que eso le de fuerzas a usted y a mi. Su aspirante a sirviente mandara sakha das

HpS - Cuando estamos en la Tierra y miramos a Venus, es muy brillante y nos hace sentir inspirados, y cuando miran a la Tierra desde Venus sienten lo mismo. En ambos casos, es el planeta que refleja el sol. ¿Quién es este Sol que estamos reflejando e inspirándonos unos a otros?

Maharaja, necesito su consejo

Hare Krishna maharaja, ¡Todas las glorias a Srila Prabhupada!

Primero quiero agradecer por la respuesta a mi pregunta sobre el guru, debo ser paciente para aceptar a mi maestro. 

Yo me dedico a la música, no tengo un título universitario pero trabajo en ello, específicamente dando talleres en colegios sobre música folclórica en el lugar donde resido, Cabildo (quinta región, Chile), también trabajo con la municipalidad de Cabildo en diversas actividades culturales.

Este año postulé a un FONDART, los fondos nacionales de cultura, para crear un disco musical de cueca, la música tradicional de Chile, para rescatar la historia y cultura del lugar donde vivo.

Yo quiero mejorar mis prácticas espirituales mediante el fortalecimiento de mi inteligencia y el caracter, implementando a mi vida la etiqueta vaisnava. Para este fin planeaba realizar el curso bhakti sastri con maharaja Dhanvantari en Bralis este 2018, planes que se vieron "aproblemados" con la adjudicación del proyecto FONDART, al cual postulé, lo que implica un trabajo por todo el año 2018 para la creación del disco.

¿Que me aconseja que haga?

Hare Krishna Maharaja, All glories to Srila Prabhupada!

First I want to thank for the answer to my question about the guru, I must be patient to accept my teacher.

I dedicate myself to music, I do not have a university degree but I work in it, specifically giving workshops in folk music colleges in the place where I live, Cabildo (fifth region, Chile), I also work with the municipality of Cabildo in various cultural activities .

This year I applied to a FONDART, the national culture funds, to create a cueca music record, the traditional music of Chile, to rescue the history and culture of the place where I live.

I want to improve my spiritual practices by strengthening my intelligence and character, by implementing the Vaisnava label into my life. For this purpose he planned to do the bhakti sastri course with Maharaja Dhanvantari in Bralis in 2018, plans that were "troubled" with the award of the FONDART project, to which I applied, which implies a job for the whole year 2018 for the creation of the disc .

What do you advise me to do?

HpS - Debes aceptar el dinero, quedarte y trabajar en ese proyecto con la mayor conciencia de Krsna que puedas.

AgtSP!

Agt Guru Gauranga!

Hare Krsna Maharaja.

I wish You are perfect in all aspects.

Sadhana and principles all OK.

Is very interesting that the goddess of fortune are present there with the gopis. Then, how is the nature of the personal relationship that can't aspire like the young gopis have got?

HpS - ASA --  Hmmm!  They might be able to aspire, but rather than give up being Vaikuntha ladies, they hear of the Vraja ladies and glorify them.
 

Husband of all the gopis and goddess of fortune. Old gopis also?

ASA - Not exactly, although Madhurya rasa is the essence of all other Rasas.  He is the beloved son of the older Gopis.


Who are the goddess of fortune. The mothers that stay at home and don't go to secluded places?

ASA - The consorts of Lord Narayana in Vaikuntha.


Caitanya is visnu-tattva like said Srivas Acarya???

ASA -  No!!  He is Krsna, Himself, imitating Srimati Radharani.

I think all our movement is based in vibration (one kind of wave)(great devotees are like sharks in that waves, any can't stop)
Maha-mantra (sound and organ vibration), meditation (inner vibration). Spiritual energy (pure vibration), material energy (stopping the vibration of the Brahmajyotir with avidya, inactivity, darkness (zero vibration))
I have realized this, relating with the clearing of the temple. If one clean the temple with his heart, so nice, that attract people to come.
I always was thinking special vibration is impregnated with our service, thanks to the seva energy, but to unite this with the Gayatri and Krsna's flute, the increase of spiritual desire, desire for Krsna, real "I desire more and more...hahaha", is so beautifull and exotic.
The vice society of nowadays need that sex life, very interesting.

Scientifically, all is vibration, the same knowledge. 
I think that are seven islands, worlds, with seven seas, becouse are the representation of other wave vibration, other platfform of life-space-time vibration.
The yogis travel to the Universe through the waves vibrating in our energetic centers.
Travel to the energy, same like be in that space. We heard Maha-mantra to stay with Krsna.

Sorry my english.
I wish like to You Maharaja, is so nice speak about all this thinks!!

I will be attentive to Your twitter acount :)

Hare Krsns and Thanks for all Maharaja.

I will write to You soon explained other things about the last letter.

ASA - A. U. Mmmmmmmmmm.   A. U. MmmmmMmmmm.   A. U. MmMmmmmmmm.   Breath in as deeply as you can. Stretch you lungs, but don't hurt them, then with everything open as you can, as deep as you can chant, "Aaaaaa", then gradually contracting upward chant, "Uuuuu", then with everything, including mouth, closed let the final air and sound come out of the nose, "Mmmmm". The all closed up, don't breath bur meditate on the name, "Hara". Call to Her, "Hare!,  Hare Krsna!  Hare Rama!"

Until you have to breath again...  (don't have too".
