Sunday School Curriculum

All glories toSrila Prabhupada. Dear Gurudev, please accept our respectful obeisances. After your last visit to Mexico, there was a need to improve the Sunday program ASA Kids México. For that reason we were thinking that with the help of the temple authorities, we can acquire   the “Hare Krishna Sunday School Program”, which was created by Mother Tapasvini dasi and Sangita devi dasi. The program is divided amongst 3 age groups: Madhava (6-8) years old,  Damodar (9-11) years old and Madan Mohan (12 – 14 years old). Here is the link if you want to check it out. http://harekrishnasundayschool.com/  We trust this program will help us give better tools for the good Krishna Consciousness development of our children community. As part of this project we will translate the program so future generations can have the benefit it offers. We would like to know your opinion about this plan, so we can continue working under your divine guidance. Thank you very much for you precious time, we pray so we can have your blessings so we can continue serving Srila Prabhupada through our children community. Your servants, Gopi Radha and Anuradha DD. ASA Kids México

HpS - AGTSP!  paoho -- As I know the program it is very good and has been used successfully in many Temples. Maybe somebody else on the Blog can make a comment. It may already be translated! Such nice work you are doing. Maybe Krsna will be a student in your class in your next life.

TPP-CB part II.

Hare Krishna Maharaja,

Please accept my respectful obeisances,

All glories to Srila Prabhupada!

Thanks for your answer. I see. Yes, You are right, $10 + postage/each is too much.

Maybe it would be better to scan the pages and upload it to jayarama.us or send it via e-mail.

It's cost-effective and fast.

What do you think about it?

Otherwise if you need to type your hand written stuffs in the future (and i can read it :) just let me know  i'm happy to assist you.

Maharaja, i would like to start my BhVai study. Will be a beginner group nowadays what i can join?

Thank you very much.

All the best.

Your servant, Sri Radhe dd

HpS - AGTSP - $10 is not too much. We are finally ready to mail some Tpp-cbs, and one will go to  38 Clarendon Road.

Piggy's plan has been to make photo copys of 1-5 and then send out an original copy as a sample to interested people like your good self. Then after Number Five we will use 8-1/2 x 11 paper and make quality photocopies.

Do you have the Bh. Sastri Diploma???

ASA - Standard for Ladys
by Guy "Uncle" Gismo
President of the ASA Civil Deadman's Society

(rev. 2014 May 26)

1) No, mini-skirts, dresses should be no higher than mid-calf, and usually longer.

2) Only short term contact with the opposite sex for preaching purposes.

3) Should get married by 15-years old ideally but in Kali-yuga get advice from six good people about the sitution. Actually best thing is to marry Krsna, the King of Vrndavana.

4) Don't talk with weak-minded Dudes in secluded places.

5) Don't bite people. Ask Radharana to ask Krsna and Balarama to protect you. Chant Hare Krsna and be happy.

6) Only listen to music, watch movies, read books that you would see with Srila Prabhupada.

7) Ignore all these rules if Krsna personally tells you to do so.

Thank you. We will try to follow this standard also. Please send your ideas to the Blog.

Ayudeme a mantener la ecuanimidad

Hare Krsna

Todas las Glorias a Srila Prabhupada

Todas las glorias Guru y Gauranga

Por favor acepte mis respetuosas reverencias

Querido Guru Maharaja ojala pudiéramos tenerlo cerca, servirlo directamente, siempre extraño eso, espero que su salud este bien, me alegra que ya tenga internet, mi problema es el Sgte: Siento que a veces hago las cosas por deber, aunque no me asocio con personas de mentalidad materialista, observo muchos devotos con esa tendencia fuerte al poder, dinero, posición, a veces poniendo en ansiedad a brahmanas, devotos sabios, avanzados, a veces siento compasión por ellos, otras gran desprecio,  y tengo una gran lucha interna por mantener la ecuanimidad, la mansedumbre, guardar silencio, veo las aparentes injusticias y entiendo que son propias del karma de cada uno. Sin embargo, mi temperamento es fuerte y algo de pitta debo tener, me siento manos atadas sin poder ayudar, evito el conflicto, y eso a veces baja mi entusiasmo, lo único que me ayuda a descargar esa frustración de ver devotos que se odian es salir a sankirtana, pero ello influye en mi, mi canto, mi sankirtana. Gurudeva sea misericordioso conmigo que puedo hacer, ayúdeme a desarrollar buenas cualidades.

Siempre muchos devotos me preguntan por Ud. cuando viene, donde esta y está bien.

¡Qué el Sr. Nisimha siempre lo proteja!

Su hija que lo adora:

 Yugala Kishora Dasi

                HpS - ASA - TlgaSP. Utiliza "translate.google.com". Upadesamrta-3. Enthusiasm is more important than patience. So, if you see people, maybe like Daksa, harrassing devotees, then you should be enthusiastic to correct them. Sati, Virabhadra, Shiva, they are reacted different ways.

If in doubt chant "Hare Krsna / Hare Rama!!!!!", "Oh, Radharani, please call for Krsna and Rama to help me!". In Vrndavana only Krsna and Balarama kill demons, but sometimes they engage us as Their tools.

So, chant HK/R, if Krsna gives you intelligence then it will be very natural to use verbal and intellectual force to protect weak devotees.

Nice fotos. We add one!

What is Ideal Marriage.

11 years, 1 month ago by zareth bhaktin in Hot Topics, Other

Pamho, AgtSP! Dear Gurudeva.

Answer, what is the Marriage?

After listening and remembering what I've read, I will try to share what I understand about marriage Gurumaharaja .

Marriage is an agreement that two people make to society and families, who along with obligations and rights, with together, they can achieve progress in the spiritual process by putting Sri Krishna in the center and see completed projects that they are planned, family, work preaches and service. It is the stage at which test the tolerance, respect, honesty and loyalty, also the enthusiasm, determination and compassion for the couple.

The basis of all communication is, what one wait to the future short and long term and ensure that both have understood what the couple want, without false expectations that become disappointment. The expression of ideas and desires that everyone has and how that is displayed, it is important; spiritual growth, travel , children, work , etc. . The feeling is important but not the most important construction project, they need to admire the effort of the person in the service of Krishna to eventually develop true love

The word marriage / matris munium from two Latin words : the first " matris " , which means " mother " and the second , " munium ", " assessment or care ," coming to mean " mother care " in therefore considered that the mother was contributing more to training and parenting . Another possible derivation come from " matreum muniens " meaning the idea of ​​defense and protection of the mother , involving man's obligation to the mother of his children . Its very Interesting!

I heard a time in a course of Grihastha Ashram that to be an excellent Grihasta sometimes  first should try to be, at least, excellent Grahamedi , later, I heard the same thing in my class Bhakti Sastri and an assay of Kaunteya das , but everyone knows that the ideal is and always will be what Srila Prabhupada presents. I wonder if it is possible to know what you think on this point Gurudeva .

Plan

For now Prabhu Marco is looking to rent near temple alone or with a devotee, I still live with the devotees near the temple. The short-term plan is that I continue with my studies at university for 2 years more, and he will make service in the temple, and Sankirtan, search refuge in you Gurudeva and during this time the communication continuing in association of devotees.

Like any plan sounds good, but both know that always a beautiful rainbow appears, after big clouds , wind storms and cover the sun , so we hope tribulations but be firm and determined to fight to rescue Mother Sita in team . Guru Maharaj I ask for your blessings and I hope always life after life to follow the instructions of Srila Prabhupada following in their footsteps they are so merciful.

                 HpS - ASA --- Jaya. AGTSP. Paoho. Very nice description. Very heroic effor to write in English. I think you have some ability to write poetry in Spanish. You should develop it.

With Marco you can read the story of the marriage of Kardama and Devahuti in 3rd Canto. Like three chapters. They are example of Grhastha ashrama.

No, "ideal Grhamedhi" IS Grhastha. The result of feeding the fire oil is bigger fire. You are more and more addicted to lusty acts and finally separate in great hate, pain and frustration with NO benefit.

Hare Krsna!

AgtSp!

Agt Guru Y Gauranga!

Vivan Radha y Krsna!

Viva Gurudeva!

Hare Krsna Maharaja, soy Bhakta Pablo del Parikrama, de españa.

I wish You are soooo good in all aspects.

This letter I don´t know if is better be private or not.

The first think I want to say, is that Dandava ( Madrid Mandir ) had say that my principles are good, but I had explain to him that in 2013 I had broke 2 principles. Now is Ok but i don´t say that all was perfect all the year. I thinks he said good, but I want to say specificly.

The second think I want to say Gurudeva, I will not came back from Mayapura or India. All the thinks I see in the movement, politics thinks, make me burnt in fire. I don´t want be like that. We are very little devoties Vaisnavas in the world, and we are very very special persons, but my mind only can feel that in quite meditation ( Maha-mantra ). When I see the politics, I burnt, my mind is so weak. I hate politics thinks, always duplicities.

I don´t want thinks like this for the devoties, I want take shelter of the Dham and work under her shadow waiting mercy for the Rottweiler like me.

I always wanted be green veret, my father was also, and is my real profession in heart. They training us to be rottweiler, and now I know that I am one.

I only want chant Hare Krsna and try to have mercy of the Dham. My mind is always finding faults in others.

16/4 OK. Lecture some days not. Mangala arati some days later.

Hare Krsna Gurudeva.

At Your feet, Your fool fool servant.
Hare Krsna.

HpS - ASA -- AGTSP Thank you for your letter. I think you are on the airplane now for India. You can only really enter the Dhama by following the instructions of Rupa Goswami, like Upadesamrta. Otherwise, we will be on the surface, like trying to taste the honey through the glass jar.

But it is also a fact that the Dhamas are very merciful. So, as you are sincere you should have nice experience in the Dhamas, but don't think that it is better than ISKCON Madrid, London, New York. We need both.
