paoho

Esteemed Monkey Warriors, Vanara-sena,
If you go to www.coursera.org you will see a super website with accredited university courses for free. Even more specific there is a course starting like January 26th on designing and implementing on-line courses. HpS would take it for sure but he will be traveling so the internet will not be good enough, but Patrak Das will take it and maybe you should to.

Hare Krishna Gurudeva paoho agtSP agtY! I writing  to apologize to you , I want you to know that although we havent written on about your  calendar and activities that take place during your  visit here, the devotees were  considering many options, but we have not taken a hit yet , but something will come up , sorry i canot not help with that, the truth is that I leave here before i get more involved in  debts again,  i apologize  to you again Gurudeva i feel really bad about not being able to help with this , who wants to serve Sarad Bihari Dasi

HpS - ASA - O.K.      We try to be Krsna conscious and really depend on Krsna to fix the Calendar!

   A  G  T  S  P !    (((paoho(((          Basically we are fighting for our life.     It started like around 6AM this morning.   We had to go into complete withdrawl and start doing Pranayama like anything, like we have never done before and anytime during our life.    It took about 10-minutes to get our right side open. We almost sufficated doing it.   Now, 8.42AM, its keeping about 70% open. We've COMPLETELY stopped left side breathing.

Srila Prabhupada's Maha-mantra Bhajan is playing in Nandulal Das' cellular.  Intense, deep, inhalation through the right side and blowing it out forcefully through the lips from intense diaphram thrusts.  We are trying to respirate our heart. It is INTENSE.

Hari bolo..    We don't know what's happening, but the most simple sane estimate that we can come up with is that Laksmana-agraja Das is dying and we have a strong Karmis connection with him. Our feet swelled up for no reason when he went into shock from the diabetes and colonic perforation.

Are we breathing for him?

Don't know but sure seems so.       Mind very clear.              Presence of Srila Prabhupada and Lord Nrsmhadeva very strong, clear!!!!!!!           We are servants.           We will keep you informed.  Please don't bother us.

Breathing has to penetrate.    Pratyahara in heavy effect.     Deeper.   Deeper.         Srila Prabhupada Mantra!!!! ! ! !      !           !

T.L.G.A.S.P.

QUERIDO GURUDEVA:

Hello gurumaharaja, Hare Krishna.
Please accept my humble obeisances, all glories to Srila Prabhupada.
 

In response to your reply to my letter, sorry that you have to explain again how things work in ISKCON, it could have given a bad impression from my side. Not that i don't know these things, but i have understood from our personal conversation at the time that after six months we would be okay. This is what i've been keeping in mind all the time and what's been my inspiration. That's why i was waiting for your visit to Radhadesh, early 2013. Sadhana wise, not much change. Sure, i am up to date with chanting a minimum of sixteen rounds daily,  after i picked it up again last april, and i've followed the four regulations strictly. I take part in (temple) programs at least once a week. I'm already almost a pure devotee (wink). Getting up at brahma muhurta is fluctuating, but GUERD is my motto. Therefore i was a bit upset at first to read your response, because i have been looking forward to it, and have meditated on it on a daily basis.

So, my apologies for this misunderstanding. I was thinking about this development, what to do? I am but a puppet, grumbling. Frankly, it impresses me as somewhat unpractical, we coming to Radhadesh during a short symposium in may when there's two weeks time in februari, but i was thinking, as an alternative, perhaps in may we can do a honeymoon to Spain, New Vraja Mandala. Still, i hope for february, financially that is certainly a lot more secure for us.

I wish you a good time in your writing marathon, good health, and i hope to have the chance to meet you and the other devotees at Japa Joe's.

Signed,
an inspiring devotee.

           HpS - ASA -  AGTSP!!!  paoho.   This Guru-Disciple thing is very individual in many ways. Some are more strict on the exact dates, some are less strict, some preach more strict but are less strict...   We are kind of bull headed about the basic stuff and more intuitive about other stuff.
You may have seen another letter with this same situation. It is common, but it is good.  The marriage has certain ritual actions and words, but those are authorized and then the relationship is a personal contract between God and (wo)men.
Your going to chant for the rest of your life, so what difference does some formality mean?

This Brahma-muhurta thing, up and chanting 96-48 minutes before dawn is ESSENTIAL in our discipline. Basically we won't be chanting ENTHUSIASTIC rounds without it.  Then after five years you will be depressed because of the lack of progress and then you will give up altogether. We have seen it so often.
Yes, Spain, may be the best option. If you are fixed in the Sadhana for a year then Spain would be VERY nice place for initiation!

What ya think?
