All glories to Srila Prabhupada

All glories to His Holiness Hanumat Presak Swami

Hare Krsna dear Gurudeva, please accept my most humble and respectful obeisances.

In fact it is strange to write again, it seems that from my thoughts to my actions there are many years of Brahma in between.

This is very difficult for me, I'm confused, I feel lonely, dirty. The decision by majority was to leave the temple. To tell you the truth, I thought that everything would be simpler. "It's not a good time for you to be here" - they told me. "Follow your dreams, I'm glad you're flying".  Is it recommended to look for a job? To study? Go to another ksetra to intensify my sadhana? Or go back to the temple? My spiritual desires are mixed with my reality and conditioning.

So many fantasies, memories, and ideas pass through my head. I really put myself at your feet, my vision is very short, my senses very impertinent.

I know I must go little by little so I don't fall. My main objective is only to fulfill my promise. A year has passed since that very lucky moment for me, I did not deserve it. But I thank you infinitely for carrying me. I feel so weak without your closeness.

Mom agrees with everything I do, she wants to visit the Cueramaro farm with the devotees. Mother Gauravani insists that she spends some time there. Dad quit smoking. I warned him about the risks of doing it... Other family members have tried some prasada that I have prepared for them. I missed so much spending time with them.

I want to continue painting. I have read more about God in Prabhupada's books. Purification from Sankirtan, distributing books, is truly refreshing, a relief, a respite for the soul. I was going on buses, person to person, on Harinama... Different modalities until finding myself. The temple president, didn't let me out, I think sooner or later he was going to, unfortunately, after some talk, I thanked him and apologized.

So I've been living outside the temple for a month, still adapting and taking care of some aspects of my karma. I understand that I still need to purify myself. For the time being I remain waiting intensely for you, or until I can visit you.

I say goodbye to you Gurumaharaj, but not before presenting my Gaura-Nitai... Can I have them? and / or worship them? They came to me during the year, I inherit Them from a Srila Prabhupada's disciple after having helped her a couple of days when she stayed at the ashrama. This is her story, They were careless and obscure, but now They are shining. Deva Dharshan prabhu is helping me take care of them since now I have build a place for Them at home. Is this okay? What name should They have?

Your aspiring disciple Dadhisara Devi Dasi 

HpS - Hare Krsna.    ....   Sri Sri Gaura-Nitai is fine. Yes, keep Them. 1. Love Them, 2. Keep Them clean, 3. Offer punctual service, 4. Increase the rules and regulations as time and place permite.

Offer Incense, Lamp, Flower, Fragrant Oil, Food.  Have Mangala arati for them and in the Evening. Bhajana and Kirtan. Hope your new Ashrama situation is fun!!!

   All glories to Srila Prabhupada!

  All glories to Sri Gaura Nitai!!!

   Dear Maharaja Accept my most humble obeisances at your lotus feet!!! 

  Dear Maharaja, I deeply hope with profound love that you have a happy and auspicious new year's eve. 

Initiation. Did you read our Guru-tattva, how we understand the role of Guru?

answering what you asked me i did read the English version because the Spanish version wasn't available and i want to thank you and tell you i would never be able to thank you enough for guiding me and taking your precious time to answer all my questions and doubts. now i know what i have to do in order of being aspirant to take shelter under your guidance to become a disciple of yours, and I'm working on it, and start doing what i need to do, and I'm starting from now. I'm going to talk to the temple's president for his guidance in all these subject matters.

Here is the address in Spanish. I think it is pretty current, but the English location also follows. What do you think about it?

 It's the perfect guide, just exactly what i needed, i appreciate you take the time to send me this helpful links dear Maharaja.its also true what is said in the Madhudvisa explanation, where it says that if we cannot follow the instructions of attending to Mangala Arti, chant 16 rounds and following the 4 principles and learning how to live in ISKCON, how can we execute further duties. first things first, right?

I spend the whole Christmas season here at the temple as same as new year's eve. I've been attending to mangal aarti every day and finally chanting my 16 rounds as well. I'm waiting for the temple's president to come back from India to ask him if i can stay the 6 months needed for the process required to be under your shelter, as an aspirant, i want to do my best in order to get everything well settle. I also wanted to talk about a behavior I'm developing and which is bothering me, hurting me really bad, to the point its affecting my eating schedule or sleep, I'm  becoming too attached to my ex-boyfriend, we broke up two days ago,  and even tho i want to be back with him he just doesn't want to be with me anymore, i guess i scared him away with an almost obsessive behavior of mine from last week after we had a big fight about an argument where i wanted to react in a different way than the way he did. what should i do? i really need to work on my patience dear Maharaja, but i still don't know how. i don't want to lose him, but it seems everything is lost already. i will always wait for your answer to analyze what I'm going thru and make the best desition. 

  thank you for your guidance Maharaja, I would never have enough to return all the time you spend on answering my letters.

HpS - For decisions about personal relations we cannot say much being a long way away. You should keep a nice connectiong with nice people and ask them for their opinion. In general we have Nectar of Instruction, especially text five.   Four and five give nice perspective. Arjuna had to kill his grandfather, teacher, cousins and nephews, but he saw that it was the best thing for them. If we get Krsna then we really have all these family relations, for ever.

Hare Krsna!!!!

Hare krsna Dear Maharaja

PAMHO AGTSP!

Thank you very much

HpS - We mostly just communicate through the Blog. Just put, "Message for PND" in the Title field and he should see it.  If not we could try to write to him.

HpS – ASA --  The questions that come up to my mind, and others, is the function and position within education in ISKCON of the GBC College. Why wasn't it made a part of the Ministry of Education?

Kaunteya Das -- ​I am not sure I understand the question; the Minister of Education himself is a member of the Board of Advisors of the GBC College:

http://www.gbc-college.com/ board-of-advisors/

As a GBC, Sesa Prabhu has been active part of the step-by-step establishment of the GBC College in various presentations to the GBC and the various votes thereby.  

As you may remember, we personally invited you to also become a member of the Board of Advisors. 

I am personally open to any suggestion on how to further collaborate or interact. 

HpS – Wow!   We, me, Rama-giri-dhari Das et al were very misinformed about this. Thank you for clarifying it, but we never received any invitation to be on the Board of Advisors. We are very humbled and will read the information that Rupanuga Ji sent us and go ahead.

Hare Krishna Estimado Gurumaharaja,
Por favor acepta mis humildes reverencias.
Todas las glorias a Srila Prabhupada.

Recientemente hemos agregado índices palabra por palabra en la nueva versión de Vedabase (https://vedabase.io/en/search/synonyms/). Hasta ahora solo en inglés, pero lo agregará a más idiomas.
Nadie ofreció ayuda para importar español. Es un poco frustrante, pero así es la vida. Entonces mi esposa estará importando español a una nueva versión lenta pero segura. (Estoy seguro de que Srila Prabhupada está feliz con ella)
Preparar un buen almacenamiento en caché, por lo que vedabase.io será muy rápido. En general, tenemos entre 35-55 personas en el sitio al mismo tiempo, nos gustaría ver a cientos :)
El cliente de escritorio fuera de línea está en progreso (Ekanatha Prabhu de Archives acordó usarlo, si es agradable, en lugar del antiguo software Folio) - Debería funcionar en Mac, Linux y Windows
Tener el primer libro en hindi (https://vedabase.io/hi/library/) y primer libro en bengalí (https://vedabase.io/bn/library/)
...
El servicio de Vedabase es muy satisfactorio pero frustrante ya que algunas veces recibimos cartas groseras sobre por qué este y ese libro en este y ese idioma no están ahí. Probablemente reacciones por mi mentalidad grosera y egoísta en vidas anteriores.

Pero también hay cartas alentadoras y nos alegra ver cuántas personas están obteniendo la asociación de Srila Prabhupada a través de ella.

Estoy muy agradecido con usted, Srila Prabhupada y Krishna por permitirnos hacer este servicio ya que fue nuestro refugio y esperanza en los momentos más difíciles.

Tu sirviente Prahlad Nrsimha das

Mono y Piggy! - ¡Nuestra cara está en la tierra! ¡No tienes ofertas para ayudarte a migrar a los españoles! (Tal vez deberíamos haber publicado en español (Haremos eso)). Incluso si ya terminaste, habrá más trabajo para el español en el futuro.

Vedabase.com es un desafío directo a Maya The Black Witch. Solo estamos resistiendo sus ataques porque White Whitch lucha para protegernos. ¡Necesitamos ayudarla no siendo traviesos!
