Personal News, India Calendar, Pausing the Wifi in the Boro While you are away

2 years, 10 months ago by sriram in Personal Sadhana Reports, Calendar Development

Hare Krishna Guru Maharaj,


Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada.


My personal sadhana is going well Guru Maharaj, especially after Sadhu Sanga kirtan retreat. I feel a boost. I also spent a day with at Radhika Raman Prabhu's and it was wonderful.


I am chanting 16 rounds and following the 4 regulative principles. I am doing the FMP on most days and trying to make it so that i dont miss.


Thank you so much for giving me and my parents your association in April. It was a blissful afternoon and my parents were overjoyed that you could spend that time with us.


HpS/ASA - The feeling was very mutual. We spent about 1/2-hour preparing. Decorating!

Was very nice.

Hope they are realizing Lord Chaitanya's vani.


We had Rath Yatra and Panihati festival in Atlanta last week and it was ecstatic.


I saw in the Kapi Dhvaja that you'll be in India from September to January. Thats great news Guru Maharaj. I am also visiting India for my Visa stamping at the end of October and will be there till end of December.


If you'll be there in Vrindavan during Kartik, i'll also plan to be there for at least a week during my trip so that i can have the good fortune of participating in parikrama with you.


HpS - We can coordinate a calendar. We may be able to accomodate some guests in Radha kunda for a few days!


Also, with regards to your travel Guru Maharaj, i wanted to ask if there will be someone at the ashram in Boro while you are out of the US for the better part of a year? If its going to be empty, can we put the Wi-fi on hold like we did during your South America trip last year?

Your humble servant

Srirama Krishna Das


HpS - Jaya! paoho.... No one will be in the Ashrama, so maybe best to terminate and restart again when we are back from India (?) next Februrary, March? Whatever is best.

If we terminate, then they have to come before we leave town, because there is stuff to pick up for them.

We can always us the hot spot on our AT&T service.

Your Brother and Sister in law are here. They are a wonderful example to everyone.

Focus in becoming purified so that you can help Krsna in His Sankirtan. Everything else will follow automatically like the sun rising every day.

Thank you.

Thank you!

HpS/ASA - AgtSP! Paoho.... 🐒 🐒 🦍🐒 What day and time is the program? Can we video tape the presentation and edit a copy for them and us?

Here is the link to promo for DTC-1 that show the quality of our work: http://vimeo.com/ondemand/dtc1

Id it to far removed from the theme of the lecture?

Nayanamrta Das has us scheduled for morning SB classes 23rd, 25th, 28th and 30th of June. July is not yet scheduled.

Of course, we want to consider with Raula, Pablo et all about using these in our DTC video.

GBDD - Also Devender Krishna & Sumitra Radha Prabhus would like to do a program at their home. Would you be okay doing it on a Fri evening?


HpS/ASA - How delighful! As we mentioned in the previous post, Hari-lila Das has directed us to do a "NoI, Tava Pache Pache" seminar each Friday night.

So, Friday the 1st of July might be nice. If we get CoVid (##!) then that gives us two weeks to recover before the flight to Madrid, but should be outside in the fresh air with sufficient spacing etc, no?

Thank you!

Querido Gurumaharaja

Por favor acepte nuestras respetuosas reverencias. 

Todas las glorias a Srila Prabhupada! 

Muchas gracias por su infinita misericordia día a día.

En otra carta envío mi reporte personal, por acá continuamos con el tema de la visita a México con las novedades recientes.

Propuestas:

• Posibilidad de extender la visita por un mes

• Invitación a celebrar con nosotros el festival de Gaurapurnina, Lunes 6 de Marzo 2023


Hasta el momento tenemos la propuesta de la finca de prabhu Gadhadara Gosai y Ananda maya dd con importantes proyectos que vienen trabajando desde años pasados y que les gustaría dar más formalidad, tienen buenas propuestas que son motivo de otra carta para más detalles, en cuanto a la distancia con el aeropuerto, es una hora y media por carretera. 


Por otro lado hay inquietud de algunos hermanos espirituales por la distancia entre Monterrey y Ciudad de México en donde viven la mayoría de discipulos, surgió la propuesta de encontrar un lugar más cercano con las características para su Sankirtana. 

Por el momento no se han presentado propuestas contundentes, así que si Usted nos permite, por este medio queremos llegar a más miembros de ASA México, estamos esperando propuestas para poder avanzar en la organización con suficiente tiempo, pueden contactarnos por favor por cualquier duda.

Tratamos de valorar cada aporte y con sus bendiciones Gurumaharaja tener buena comunicación e inspirarnos unos con otros, al final del día los monos se reúnen con el resultado de Sankirtana... 


Gurumaharaja la prioridad es su salud y ser instrumentos para su Sankirtana, sabemos que los viajes son demasiado austeros, sin embargo, para despejar dudas es necesario preguntarle si su estancia en México sería en una única base o se contempla algún viaje en el interior?


Muchas gracias por ocupar nuestros pensamientos y esfuerzos en el servicio devocional. 


Vuestra eterna aspirante a sirviente

Dear Gurumaharaja

Please accept our respectful obeisances.

All glories to Srila Prabhupada!


HpS - ASA --

Srila Prabhupada



Thank you very much for the infinite mercy of him day by day.

In another letter I send my personal report, here we continue with the topic of the visit to Mexico with the recent news.


Proposals:

• Possibility of extending the visit for a month.

ASA - 27 days. Ha! Ha! Hare. Little hard to fix details so far in advance.

• Invitation to celebrate with us the Gaurapurnina festival, Monday March 6, 2023

Possible. Need ticket details from Jayanta Das.




So far we have the proposal for the farm of prabhu Gadhadara Gosai and Ananda maya dd with important projects that they have been working on for years and that they would like to give more formality, they have good proposals that are the subject of another letter for more details, in terms of the distance from the airport is an hour and a half by road.


On the other hand, some spiritual brothers are concerned about the distance between Monterrey and Mexico City, where most of the disciples live. The proposal arose to find a closer place with the characteristics for their Sankirtana.


HpS - Seems like good idea.


At the moment, no compelling proposals have been presented, so if you allow us, by this means we want to reach more members of ASA Mexico, we are waiting for proposals to be able to advance in the organization with enough time, you can contact us please for any questions.


HpS - ArtDas et al had to look so hard until Nitya-kishori Devi Dasi found opportunity for stay in hacienda de papas de su amiga.

Abajo de un arbol?


We try to value each contribution and with his blessings Gurumaharaja have good communication and inspire each other, at the end of the day the monkeys meet with the result of Sankirtana...


Gurumaharaja's priority is his health and to be instruments for his Sankirtana, we know that travel is too austere, however, to clear up any doubts, it is necessary to ask him if his stay in Mexico would be on a single base or would he contemplate a trip to the interior?


HpS - Seems single base is best. Hare Krsna village.


Thank you very much for engaging our thoughts and efforts in devotional service.

Your eternal would-be servant

Asta Sakhi dd


HpS - Krsna

is

very

attentive

to

the

situation

of Srila

Prabhupada's

Sankirtaneros.

From WhatsApp:

Hare Krsna Maharaja,

This is Nayana-amrita dasa. 

Please accept my humble obeisance. All glories to Srila Prabhupada. 

Maharaja, I understand that you will be visiting us from June 21st through July 20th. 

Please let me know which days you would like give Bhagavatam classes in June. 

For July, we will work on it after you arrive in Houston. 

Thank you very much. 

YS,

Nayanamrita dasa


HpS-ASA -- Hare Krsna, Prabhu! Brahma bhuta prasanatma... you are a Brahmana? Always happy? AgtSP!!! Paoho. Wednesday mornings we usually do SB class in Spanish. Other days are pretty much all available, but our Ayurvedic doctor caps us at one (maybe two) big classes/day. So, for example, we would need to pass on SB class in the morning, Sunday, if we do Sunday Feast class during the day. Monday evening is NoI in Spanish.


Hari-lila Das et al, have suggested that we do a General/Bhakti-vaibhava level Nectar of Instruction seminar while we are in Hugh's Town. That could be Friday nights?


So, as our calendar stands now SB for June could be 23, 25, 26, 28, 30. We can do one or all (!) as you decide.


Thank you.

We hope to see you siddha-svarupa soon.

Papas Gouranga. Visita a México

2 years, 11 months ago by Asta Sakhi Devi Dasi in Calendar Development


Querido Gurumaharaja.

Por favor acepte mis respetuosas reverencias.

¡Todas las glorias a Srila Prabhupada! 


Nos alegra que se encuentre mejor de la alergia. Usted siempre nos enseña a servir a Srila Prabhupada y la misión de Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu en medio de cualquier dificultad, de acuerdo al BG 8.14 Sri krishna es su-labhah para sus devotos que lo recuerdan y se dedican constantemente a su servicio, es infinitamente purificante la meditación en vaisnavas como nuestro Fundador Acarya A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Srila Prabhupada y sus fieles discipulos como Usted. Muchas gracias por sus enseñanzas. 


Gurumaharaja respecto a la pregunta de recibir visitantes de Latinoamérica en México.

México es uno de los países que no ha cerrado sus fronteras durante la pandemia y tiene escasas restricciones a diferencia de otros países, sin embargo el cuidado por los contagios ha recaído en la responsabilidad de los habitantes, en este caso nos esforzaremos con todos los cuidados y protocolos que sean necesarios para que nuestros hermanos espirituales no tengan ansiedad por ese motivo, aunque la situación es cambiante en este tema hay más calma en este momento, por lo que cualquier visitante del Norte, Centro o Sur no tendrá mayores inconvenientes en llegar a México.


Gurumaharaja sabemos que falta varios meses para su visita, sin embargo nos serviría mucho para la organización un par de datos de ser posible por favor.

1) El tiempo aproximado de estadía.

2) El lugar útil de estadía para su Sankirtana. 


Con respecto al segundo punto, es de conocimiento de sus discípulos de México que prabhu Gadhadara Gosai y familia tienen abierta la invitación para Usted y discipulos desde que adquirió la finca. 

Está sería una opción inmediata de hospedaje atendiendo la pregunta de los visitantes, también considera los cuidados de salud, ventilación, naturaleza y está relativamente cerca de Houston.


Prabhu Gadhadara Gosai nos compartió que le escribirá.


Nosotros estaremos iniciando nuestras reuniones para trabajar cooperativamente para más propuestas de ser necesario. 

Esto nada más es el comienzo. 


La situación en el templo está bien, siempre avanzando con los retos diarios que surgen. 

El restaurante está funcionando bien, ahora los comensales también pueden ocupar el área del patio. 

El Jueves 2 de Junio inician las celebraciones del aniversario de los 50 años de la primera visita de Srila Prabhupada a México con la presencia de SS. Guruprasad Swami y SS. Bhaktisundar Goswami. 


Muchas gracias por su misericordiosa atención, por favor disculpe la premura, es muy emocionante saber que pronto lo veremos, parece que cada célula del cuerpo está reviviendo para ser conciente de Krsna.

Vuestra eterna aspirante a sirviente

Dear Gurumaharaja.

Please accept my respectful obeisances.

All glories to Srila Prabhupada!

We are glad that you are better from the allergy. You always teach us to serve Srila Prabhupada and Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu's mission in the midst of any difficulty, according to BG 8.14 Sri krishna is su-labhah for his devotees who remember him and constantly dedicate themselves to his service, he is infinitely purifying meditation on Vaisnavas like our Founder Acarya A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Srila Prabhupada and his faithful disciples like you. Thank you very much for teaching him.


HpS - AgtSP!!!! We are just a simple instrument beaten into some shape after years of sacrifice by Srila Prabhupada. We are trying to be more submissive and sincere!



Gurumaharaja regarding the question of receiving visitors from Latin America in Mexico.

Mexico is one of the countries that has not closed its borders during the pandemic and has few restrictions unlike other countries, however care for contagion has fallen on the responsibility of the inhabitants, in this case we will make an effort with all care and protocols that are necessary so that our spiritual brothers do not have anxiety for that reason, although the situation is changing in this matter there is more calm at this time, so any visitor from the North, Center or South will not have major inconveniences in reaching Mexico.


Gurumaharaja we know that his visit is several months away, however, a couple of pieces of information would be very useful for the organization, if possible, please.


1) Approximate length of stay.

HpS - ASA ---- I think we answered this before, no? Maybe like three weeks???


2) The useful place of stay for your Sankirtana.

HpS - Accessible but most likely out of the Urban congestion.



Regarding the second point, it is known to your disciples in Mexico that prabhu Gadhadara Gosai and family have opened an invitation to you and his disciples since you acquired the farm.

This would be an immediate lodging option in response to the question of visitors, it also considers health care, ventilation, nature and is relatively close to Houston.


HpS - Sounds good. The distance from the airport etc. is important, no?


Prabhu Gadhadara Gosai shared with us that he will write to you.


We will be starting our meetings to work cooperatively for more proposals if necessary.


This is just the beginning.


The situation in the temple is fine, always moving forward with the daily challenges that arise.

The restaurant is doing well, now diners can occupy the patio area as well.


On Thursday, June 2, the celebrations of the 50th anniversary of Srila Prabhupada's first visit to Mexico begin with the presence of SS. Guruprasad Swami and SS. Bhaktisundar Goswami.


Thank you very much for your merciful attention, please excuse the rush, it is very exciting to know that we will see you soon, it seems that every cell in the body is reviving to be Krsna conscious.

Your eternal would-be servant

Asta Sakhi dd


HpS - How is your body?? Your esteemed husband?

Now it is 5.09PM here. Arati is at 6.30PM. Some headache from letters. Maybe a few more.

🙂


Every blade of grass is controlled by Krsna

2 years, 11 months ago by dolores lalita chavez in Calendar Development

PAMHR, TLGSP, Por favor disculpe nuestras torpezas.

Estaba confundida sobre el código FMP. Quiero pedirle información sobre el Instituto de Investigación Bhaktivedanta (Calcuta). Para viajar a la India y obtener algunos permisos de trabajo en el campo académico, tal vez podría hacer algunos cursos en este Instituto porque he buscado en Internet y hay programas de doctorado, pero solo busco un curso para obtener una carta invitación. Esta carta tiene que incluir la idea de que me estoy suscribiendo a un curso especializado en filosofía védica. Además, esta carta tiene un objetivo polivalente: notificaciones de visa y permisos de trabajo que me dejen volver a trabajar después de seis meses de viaje. Ya nos había dicho que usted se quedaría en Calcuta (Kolkata), Manipur y Delhi el próximo mes de septiembre. Mi esposo Angirasa y yo podríamos comunicarnos con usted allí. Quizás puedas ayudarnos a conseguir esta carta. El tiempo estimado del viaje es de finales de septiembre 2022 a abril 2023

 

Every blade of grass is controlled by Krsna /Blue boy

Please excuse our awkwardness

I was confused about FMP code. I want to ask you some information about Bhaktivedanta Research Institute (Calcutta). In order to travel to India and get some job permissions in academic field, maybe I might do some courses in this Institute because I have had searched in the internet and there are Phd Programs, but I only searching one course in order to get an invitation letter for this institute.


HpS - ASA - AGTSP paoho. Please excuse our limited ability to handle mail! We are using this Priority Code system to encourage devotees to become informed by reading the news in the Kapi Dhvaja etc. before writing the Blog. Thank you for your letters!


This letter has to include the idea that I am subscribing to a specialized course in vedic philosophy. Also this letter has multipurpose objective: visa and job notifications that allow me to get back to work after six months’ travel. You have already told us that you would stay in Calcuta (Kolkata), Manipur and Delhi on September. My husband Angirasa and I would be able to reach you there. Maybe you can help us to get this letter. The estimated time of the trip is from the end of September 2022 to April 2023.


HpS - ASA -- We just sent a Whatapp to Sumanta Rudra, a Director of the BRC with brilliant descriptions of your qualifications, intentions, necessities and Whatsapp address. I then sent a copy to you. Is that O.K.?

Hope you are in swift route back to Goloka!

Respects to the Angirtasa.

Govinda pramodani and Ranchor are helping with all the travel arrangements.
