Oink!

Hare Krsna. Tandavika Das may come at any moment, so we will write now. 

It is 1.54PM, two Gayatris, 13/16 rounds done.  Class on internet this morning. Offered potatoes, oatmeal Kitri to Lord Nrsmha Deva.

It is 36/3 Farenheit/Celcius degrees outside and dark. It is O.K. here. NGD and all the family have gone to Dallas for the New Years Kirtan with 700 devotees and gurus.

We are very small. This world is very violent. We try to move carefully so that we don't get mangled, mauled. A tongue surrounded by sharp teeth.

Besides being violent it is also booring. Prabhupada says that everything in the material world in dull.

We have the NIOS accounts mostly under control from the India Trip. There are $28,000, but many expenses coming!   Hope the first movie with Oscar, Kalyana, Hector... is a very big success.

So, may projects like that: ISV Bhakti-vedanta, MOE Viplavah, Brazil GBC College.   Hmmm?   How can we think that we have enough energy to deal with all these things, surrounded by -10 degree (tonight) weather.

Haw!    Haw!!  Haw Ray!

We answered all the letters to one week ago. Now we will read a few Annual Reports before Tandavika Das comes (from Franklin (45-minutes)))>     Thank you.

Boom!      Booom!          Bo oomm !        We keep on throwing rocks at Ravana whenever we get back on our feet. Sita is sad.

Jay Gurudeva!     Haribolo!

Toda Gloria sea a Srila Prabhupada!

Toda Gloria sea a Usted!!!

 Como somos muy tontos, seguramente hemos olvidado parte de la etiqueta en esta celebración, pero no quiero dejar de enviarle nuestra humilde ofrenda que le ofrecimos en el día de su trascendental aparición.

Cuando la intención viene del corazón, y el propósito es el verdadero amor, Krsna nos demostró que no hay obstáculo que no pueda ser derribado. 

 Humildemente hemos ofrecido las naranjas mas dulces de Buenos Aires, ensalada de frutas, ladhus trascendentales elaborados por la esposa de prabhu Nandaraja,  té de anís, batido fresco de leche y coco, agua frezca, y pastel de crema de leche y frutos rojos. Esperamos que usted se encuentre complacido y que haya tenido un hermoso día de celebración.

HpS - Y estamos pasando ellos a Srila Prabhupada.

 Personalmente si estoy complacida porque, una vez mas, he comprobado que una humilde acción trae con sigo la verdadera felicidad. 

 Gracias una vez mas Gurudeva por hacer todo mas simple! 

Pronto volveremos a enviarle la ofrenda de su Vyasa Puja y responderemos las preguntas de las carta anteriores.

 Por favor disculpe nuestras ofensas, la verdad es que a veces nos gana la ansiedad! Ha ha!

 Intentando servirlo humildemente, Jahnava devi dasi, ys.

Hare Krsna!

Hare Krishna Gurudeva! Please accept my obeisenses.

Hope you have had a very nice Vyasa Puja celebration.

HpS - It was kind of booring.  Ha!  Ha!  Ha!   There was no local celebration and then we had some little contact with the devotees by internet. It was O.K.    We are happy with it.   Really, for us every day is a Vyasapuja Day. Every Mangala-arati is a Vyasapuja. It is a nice festival. In some ways it was nice not having a big event for a change. How are you??

I am very very thankful to  Krsna of [for] presenting me a reliable spiritual master and so sad i m so hard hearted  that i could not take real benefit.

HpS - Yes, I feel the same way about my selfish relationship with Srila Prabhupada, but we are coming to this human form of life after 100s of millions of births. We can only be so merciful to others as he is being merciful to us.

Is so difficult to find at this times  such souls, such sanctity and humility is not very common, and this is a reflect of your loyality and discipline to Jagad Guru Srila Prabhupada.

There is some long time i m not reportin,  this have been a very very very intense year for me, adpative process social, work, livin with a baby,not sleepin at all, many changes, is very nice and very very tangled.  needin much as water in the desert to improve sadhu sanga, sankirtan and my  personal sadhana.

House, the construction almost ready.  Proyecting for next year (please bless me) to start some kind of programs , mostly sankirtan programs. Was thinking with homa, lecture and  kirtan.

HpS - H a r e   K r s n a !!  May it become an Ashrama that is famous for hundreds of years.

Developin in work mostly with Ayurveda, Yoga, Sound therapies,  havin nice oportunities in that field to share some sparkles of Krsna conciesness.

ASA - Achaa!! 

Will travel India next january for a month, taking my parents and a group of people that are with the intention of knowing india spirituality, could you give me some recomendation? 

HpS - Don't travel too much. If you do, all you see, experience, is the inside of cars, buses, airplanes, trains, waiting lounges.  Go a few places and sit and watch things.   Arrange to have nice hosts wherever you will be going. They will let you see the Vedic India.
 

Hankering your personal asociation,

your very mistaken pseudo disciple,

Madhavendra puri das

Pd: Attach some photos,nice meditation workshop in the Ratha yatra of Bs.as, last november, like 100 people! 

HpS - Thank you! Lalita is cute. The one picture looks like a lot of people died in a catastrophe and you covered them with blankets. <img alt="laugh" height="23" src="http://hps.monkeywarrior.com/sites/all/libraries/ckeditor/plugins/smiley/images/teeth_smile.png" title="laugh" width="23" /> <img alt="laugh" height="23" src="http://hps.monkeywarrior.com/sites/all/libraries/ckeditor/plugins/smiley/images/teeth_smile.png" title="laugh" width="23" /> <img alt="laugh" height="23" src="http://hps.monkeywarrior.com/sites/all/libraries/ckeditor/plugins/smiley/images/teeth_smile.png" title="laugh" width="23" /> <img alt="laugh" height="23" src="http://hps.monkeywarrior.com/sites/all/libraries/ckeditor/plugins/smiley/images/teeth_smile.png" title="laugh" width="23" />  First Aid, Primeros auxilios, del Goloka!

Hare Krsna, Gurudev Maharaja!
Please accept my humble obeisances at your lotus feet.
All glories to Srila Prabhupada, Sripada, and Guru Parampara,                          

Goura Bhakta Vrnda Ki Jay, Radha Krsna Ki Jay.

Dandavat Pranam

HpS - ASA -- And our Pranams to you and all the ISKCON Manipuri Bhakta Vrnda!

In the BRS Sloka 2:1:113 Translation – Another example from Stotraratna of Yamunacarya (60) – O Ramachandra, best of the Radhu [Raghu?] dynasty! You are so merciful to the crow which packed [pecked?] Sita’s breast, but which then offered respects to You. O Krsna, so forgetful of others sins! You gave attractive impersonal liberation to Sisupala who offended You for many lifetimes. Tell me what offense exists in him that You would not tolerate?   …….. The reference to omitting offenses for many lives (pratibhavam) indicates tht Krsna is superior to Rama because Krsna liberated him.

* Footnote : Jayanta, son of Indra, took the form of a corw and packed ber breast, and Rama sent His arrows after the  crow. The crow finally surrendered to Rama, and lost only his right eye.

Guruji! What is the underlying story mentioned above? Please let me know the story

HpS - I looked for the story in www.vedabase.com. There is nice Ramayana summary there by Krsna Dharma Das, but I didn't find the story. As I remember from ready many Ramanyanas Indra wanted to test Lord Rama to see if He was actually Bhagavan. So while Sita and Rama were lying, resting, side by side in the jungle, he took the form of a crow and then began to claw the breasts of Mother Janaki even drawing blood. This is so horrible, no? There can be no justification for this. Lord Rama saw this and then empowered a blade of grass and it flew after the crow to kill it. Indra flew away but could not escape but then came to Lord Rama bowing down and asking for forgiveness. Rama said that He would forgive him but after being invoked the Astra had to do some damage, so Indra sacrificed one eye.

I will go an participate ISKCON foundation day at Manimandir, Imphal which will be celebrated there on the 25th Dec. 2017.

Yours fallen servant

Yamunesvara Das

HpS - Hare Krsna. It is very nice to hear from you. We hope that Krsna is giving you more and more confidential service in His mission!!!

AMANECIENDO

Es de noche

Al mundo lo cubre una gran nube gris

El sueño cubre en el alma,

Cada pueblo y cada ciudad duermen

La vida camina sobre una cuerda floja

Mirando al vacío y vacilando con caer.

Un bello sonido a lo lejos

Sankirtana yajña en el corazón

Para sostener a esta mente equilibrista

Inmersa en un túnel obscuro,

Jalando el carro del bhakti.

Lo miro caminando frente a la carroza del Señor Jaganatha

Observando ese letrero que anuncia “frutos prohibidos”

“No queremos, no gracias”. Dice usted.

Así es su amable servicio a Srila Prabhupada

Un paso a otro cual campanitas tobilleras

Sonorizando sus libros:

Un poco de gracia, un poco de ironía

Y mucho amor por Krsna.

¿Qué más se puede hacer en ésta existencia sensible?

El 75% del Mundo terreno está viciado en Kali-yuga

El otro 25% es impreso por la huella de la religiosidad.

¡Esta época es afortunada en comparsa con los Santos Vaishnavas!

De bendiciones plena.

¡Qué difícil tratar de seguirlo, pero vale la pena!

FELÍZ VYASA-PUJA.

A mi estimado maestro, de Aristasena das.

It's night

A large gray cloud covers the world

The dream covers in the soul,

Each town and each city sleep

Life walks on a tightrope

Looking at the void and hesitating to fall.

A beautiful sound in the distance

Sankirtana yajña in the heart

To sustain this balancing mind

Immersed in a dark tunnel,

Pulling the chariot of bhakti.

I look at him walking in front of the chariot of Lord Jaganatha

Observing that sign that announces "forbidden fruits"

"We do not want, not thanks." You say.

So is your kind service to Srila Prabhupada

One step to another which ankle bells

Sounding your books:

A little grace, a little irony

And a lot of love for Krsna.

What else can be done in this sensitive existence?

75% of World terrain is flawed in Kali-yuga

The other 25% is printed by the footprint of religiosity.

This time is fortunate in comparison with the Vaishnava Saints!

Of full blessings.

How hard to try to follow it, but it's worth it!

HpS - ASA --- Creo que la prueba de su poesía es que es tan simple que incluso un robot, translate.google.com, puede entenderlo. Un poema tan bueno, gracias!

AGTSP.
