All Glories to Srila Prabhupada!! All Glories to Guru Maharaj HpS!

PAMHO at Your Lotus feet....Dandavat Pranaam!

Dear Guru Maharaj,

While we wait for Yamunesvara Prabhu's reply, may I update your good self about the programme to be scheduled at RIMS. Had a talk with the Head of Department of Community Medicine, Professor Brogen and he suggested that adding SPRITUAL HEALTH would be a very nice theme, something like  SCIENCE, PSYCHE and SPIRITUAL HEALTH. Dr Brogen says , very soon the WHO will incorporate Spiritual Health as another aspect of health and will be introduced in our teaching curriculum.

HpS - O.K.

Will be having a word with Dr Gojen, a leading Psychiatrist here. Probably, together with ISKCON, we will incorporate these 2 departments. Surely , we will have a Chief Guest, probably the Director of our Institute....still have'nt finalised on that. Can we send letter of invite to Prof Samaresh this week Guru Maharaj? Professor wants it ASAP so that he can apply for leave as soon as possible.

HpS - He will come with his good wife, Smt. Nandini Bandhyopadaya. She is a very delightful respectable lady and as there is time I think you can also put her to good use. She is Bhajan singer with harmonium. Directs the cultural programs for the annual civic festivals in Lake Town. Like Vice-President of All India Ladies Relief Fund.
If you and Dr. think it is useful for him to come, we think it will be fine. We can make a lasting step forward for Krsna consciousness.

We are having daily classes with H.H. Bhakti Ananda Haridas Goswami, starting at 5.30am for Bhakti Sastri preliminary classes and SB class after Guru Puja. Feeling Your immense Mercy of which we would remain forever indebted.

Your most fallen,desperately seeking Your mercy forever ....hopeless servant,

HpS - ASA -- Hare Krsna!!!!  Sankirtan........

Hare Krsna gurumaharaja. Por favor acepte mis respetuosas reverencias a sus pies, y sean todas las glorias para Srila Prabhupada. Espero que usted se encuentre muy bien.

HpS - ASA -- Ha! Ja!     Hare!!!     Eso es el mundo material.  Luchando con nuestra debil dedicacion a Krsna.  Por misericordia, sufrimiento de Srila Prabhupada, adelantando.

Estoy meditando en su consejo de cantar el Maha-mantra continuamente, la verdad que me cuesta acordarme. Por lo menos estoy intentando hacerlo cuando me siento mal. Sigo tratando de cumplir con las 16 rondas y los principios. Estamos haciendo mangala arati a las 5 am más o menos tres días a la semana con Damián y Pandavanatha. También vamos a empezar a leer el Bhagavatam y compartilo en grupo una vez cada 15 días con prabhu Param Padam como coordinador, el 24 de septiembre es el primer encuentro. Vamos a leer un capítulo cada 15 días. 

Como me pregunta en la última carta Damián es 14 años menor que yo. Sigo trabajando con mi crisis de ansiedad y miedo, y estoy viendo muchos anarthas, cuán alejada estoy de Krsna, cuántos sentimientos de egoísmo y de desamor que tengo. Estoy bastante tiempo triste por darme cuenta en la condición en la que estoy. Tengo una imagen distorcionada de mí misma y gracias a Krsna estoy trabajando para conocerme un poco más. Gurumaharaja usted ha tenido crisis durante su proceso de conciencia de Krsna, se ha sentido triste?

HpS - Cada persona es diferente. Nuestra sendero no es solamente de esta vida, pero vidas pasados. Si, ahora, cada dia, constantamente estoy luchando con depresion. Eso es el mundo material, modalidad de ignorancia: Yo soy mal, no puedo hacer...      Pero con asociacion de otros devotos quien son 77% sincero como nosotros llegamos a nivel mas elevado.

Pues, no hay otro opcion mejor que ISKCON, Srila Prabhupada, entonces adelantamos como podemos y cada advanza es eterno. Vamos a vencer contra egoismo.  Krsna es infeliz sin nosotros.

Siempre estoy agradecida por permitirme ser su discípula. Y siempre lo recuerdo en mi corazón y en mi mente.

HpS - Si, no podemos cantar all the time, then ocupanos en Karma-yoga, haz lo que podemos hacer para Krsna, jardinero, limpiando, atencion a imvitados.   Krsna dara inteligencia como adelantar. 

Hare Krsna Gurudev.

Por favor acepte mis respetuosas reverenvias.

Todas las glorias a Srila Prabhupada!

Gurudev, respondiendo a Sus ultimas preguntas. Yo no he sabido nada acerca de la revista acerca de la Educación en ISCKON en español. Yo creo que Prabhu Jagad Gutu debe estar trabajando en eso, pero supongo que hasta cuando se deba escribir algún artículo acerca de lo que hacemos en el Departamento aqui en Chile, vamos a poder apoyar en algo para la revista.

Con respecto a los grupos de estudio para Homeschooling. Yo podría participar, cuando eso esté listo, aunque no es mi foco ahora. Estoy concentrada en hacer programas enbel templo para los niños devotos.

En el 2015 por consejo de Prabhu Param Padam, se tomó contacto con Bhakta Rupa Prabhu, quien dió la autorización psra que yo fuera Administradora y Grader de Bhakti Sastri en Chile. Todo se hizo a través de Srila Virabahu Maharaja, quien me pidió todos mis certificados de los cursos que se requieren para poder hacer ese servicio. Yo no entiendo bien si él, Bhakta Rupa Prabhu, es o no parte del ministerio de Educación de ISKCON, quizá Usted me lo puede decir Gurudev.

HpS - Jaya!  Si, tiene muchas cargas en ISKCON pero es Secretario del Board of Examiners cual es parte del Ministerio.

Pronto comenzamos con los cursos para los devotos y programas de estudio y talleres para los niños.

Estamos haciendo Sankirtan en las Univerdidades junto a Indulekha y Gokulesvari... Un servicio muy nectáreo... muy necesario!!! 

No pude conectarme a FMP por unos días, ya que nos mudamos de casa y no teníamos internet. Ya tengo internet en casa y estamos intentando retomar Su programa de manera regular.

Muchas gracias por Su ejemplo, e indpiración..

Su aspirante a sirviente.

Priya Sakhi dd

HpS - Hare Krsna!    Muy, muy bien.  Siempre recuerdas que ensyamos los que realizamos. Si levanta para Mangala arati, Kirtan, SB, rondas y principios, eso e lo que estamos ensenyando. Si, no, eso es lo que estamos ensenyando.

Esperamos adelantar Home Schooling y Revista en Chile todo pronto.

Dear Sir,
PAMHO, AGtSP

Could you please facilitate an email adress , so I can write to you .

your aspiring servant

M d.

HpS - AGTSP!!    Hare Krsna!!   Esteemed Lone Ranger.   We sent an address in the last letter and then never heard from you.  Here it is again: [email protected].

If you don't get a response promptly then write this Blog again.

We are sorry for any delay. We seem to be dealing with things as best we can but are of limited capacity.

All Glories to Sri Guruji Maharaja, Sripada Maharaja and A.C. Prabhupada

All Grories to Sri Gouranga Mahaprabhu and Goura Bhakta Vrnda Ki Jay

Radha Krsna Ki Jay,

Dandavat Pranam Guruji Maharaja!

Please accept our humble obeisances unto Guruji’s padmacharan that we are so sorry for the inconveniences caused from our side for the programme fixed earlier. Without the co-operation of Imphal ISKCON we could not arrange such a big external programme at RIMS (Regional Institute of Medical Sciences) and on such scientific topic. Thoubal is too small in comparision with Imphal as it is the capital city of Manipur and the head center of ISKCON Manipur. There are big initiated bhaktas and well educated citizens also. The gathering will be more successful. We are ready to change the timing of the external programme of 2^nd Nov. from 2.00 p.m. to 4.00 p.m. as suggested by Sarda D.D.

The idea we felt during the framing of the programme was Gurujis rest time instead of consested programme. Guruji needs only one hour road journey on the 2^nd for the function and on the 3^rd the Bhaktas’ and Matagis’ sanmelan on NOI with book distribution will be at Imphal ISKCON Mandir and after 12.00 noon Guruji will take rest on the same Mandir. It will be more advantages to arrange prasadam for 100 or more in Manimandir, Imphal than Thoubal in space (area) for meeting and prasadam. Not only that the pujaris of Imphal is more familiar for preparation of ISKCON Prasadam. Next morning Guruji can leave Mandir for Imphal Airport easily, it is only 2/3 kms. In Manipur, we could not say anything in any time (strike/band/bloket). From that point of view, we fixed the earlier programme.

I am nothing; I can't do anything independently, Guruji’s amrtavani will be filal.

Yours fallen servant

Yamunesvara Das

HpS - Jaya!   Sounds very nice.  Land and go to Thoubal.  Very simple. Fresh air. Then next day back for university program....   Then 2018, then 2019, then....   we plan to move to India 2022 and then move to Goloka (We hope) 2024.  Need YOUR blessings also.

Dear Maharaja
PAMHO AGTSP
Couple things for Melbourne:

Seminar
Melbourne is quite conservative. Srimad Bhagavatam classes are text book. Would you like to do a seminar, over 1 or 2 evenings, on Jung and Mysticisim?  It would be Sunday evening 7:30-9:00pm, after Sunday feast class (which you are also booked for) and prasadam. If there were to be part 2 it can be on Monday evening 7:30-9:00pm.

HpS - Hare Krsna! Let us just introduce it in the Sunday Feast and then do it on Monday. Any news from Madhu-manjari Devi Dasi??

Diet
I have passed on your diet to Melbourne but they still are requesting what times would you like the bhoga for Nrsmhadeva. If you could give some approximate times for morning, lunch, dinner so I can pacify them that would be great.
HpS - Is there not general devotee Prasadam after the Morning Program? Basically we could just take then, with them, what they eat, no?

Brisbane:
University of Queensland
Urban Monk program topic request?

“I think a nice topic name would 'The Timeless Vedas', where Maharaj can discuss some of our concepts in relation to the modern life and also possibly explore the Vedas alongside western Philosophy too…  Also maybe one more thing that would be good for the talk would be if Maharaj can provide some practical tips to encourage people to sort of take up the practice of Krishna Consciousness (i.e. mantra meditation, reading).”

If you are happy to go ahead with this topic they will prepare everything, including posters.

HpS - ASA -- What about continuing with "'Science, Psyche and Spirituality - Prof. C. G. Jung and the Mysticism of Ancient India'. Hanumatpresaka Swami [Prof. Huber Hutchin Robinson], world renown in bringing the treasure of classical Indian mysticism into the modern academic and practical life will give thought provoking insights into this tradition with help from the work of Carl Jung and his followers.
Don't miss this very rare opportunity",
Ys Dhruvananda Das

Here are some posters.

I made the hpsBio.jpg  poster just to let people know you are coming. Is it ok? 

The Brisbane Poster is ready. It was made by Madre Bhakti Candrika from Peru. 

Other (program specific) posters are nearly done also. Coming soon...

HpS - The posters look great. Who is this guy? We want to go. Sell books to new folk. Inspire old folk to distribute them!       FINIS>>

P.S We added a foto of Australian Sankirtan man.
