HpS - ASA - AGTSP.   Thank you. We have seen most of the links, but the interview we wait to see. Dr. Mabbett has arranged a big program for us with the Center for Oriental Studies at Monash University. It seems that our reading of E. T. Hall was arranged by God because that is the topic for this lecture.  Thank you!
 

Mythology

11 years, 8 months ago by tcsd in Hot Topics

Dear GM, PAMHO I have been thinking about this for sometime, so I just want to respond to your reply on the post about mythology. Essentially what you are teaching is that I don't know very much and that I should just thoughtfully try to follow the footsteps of our teachers and our tradition.

       ASA - Jaya!  Thank you so much for this topic.  We are back from the jungle!  When you day, "I", do you mean we our you?  We do know enough to follow our Acharya's with realized knowledge of Sankhya, and I think you have a lot of this too from your contact with other Asian systems, but as you do not have it, you should acquire it, and you can!

Science is not very definitive in its account of the big questions. And our experiential base is quite limited. Hence deductive knowledge tends to be more helpful than knowledge built on induction. Do I have the basic points correct?

ASA - Well, even our citations from Einstein make this point that science doesn't answer the big questions in terms of who or what is in control actually and even the so called little questions of how cats see ghosts, how we can actually fly to other planets, and how to avoid divorce are not answered well. The atheists were better in the past.

I just want to keep listening and learning because conviction is the quality that seems to develop very slowly in my case. By conviction I mean the faith and understanding and willingness to accept Krsna as God and everything that this entails. If I can just remain to some degree in the association of devotees and listen and speak about the absolute truth, preferably in a personal form, then this seems to be the best path for making life worthwhile. Please don't forget me. YHS, Tcsd

        ASA - We think about you a lot. How is the Baladeva????       We just finished reading Edward T. Halls, The Dance of Life, that Harsh gave us. Of all the anthropologists we have read he is the greatest. We recomend all of his books and Carl Jung's Tavistock lectures.    From this we can see that the SB is not mythology. There are many cultures that can do things that American and European science CANNOT explain. By following the principles of SB we begin to see things differently and then we can live in that world even.

Hare Krsna Beloved Gurudeva :

AGTSP ¡¡¡¡

PAOHO 

I am in Japa joe right now at the university U aren't there buuu jeje.

I really miss iur association during my japa: It is really difficult but I still wake up in Brahma muhurta.

              ASA -  AGTSP   paoho..   SO do we!             It is incredible the pressure and the results.   The tension in the air travel is beyond belief and then six hours of having to hold on to the hand bar above the car door to  keep from banging our head. then..  chanting on 45 beads, then 100 people all crying when we leave!!!!    !!!!  ...  one day back iin Imphal,  squeeeeezing time on the computer..... and back to the jungle.  who knows what will happen tommorrow!

I just remembered that U asked me to sent U the reports about NIMSAR I will do it tonight so sorry I have to my get use to my new schedule....

I am having more association with devotees doing programs at home, yesterday for instance we were to Jambavan's house made some bhajams took prasadam, talk about our lives in terms of NOI (T4) nice ....

Pujari is good in chosica in wilson but we do not have enough pujaris in wilson to do all the turns ¡¡¡ but it something that I can handle ...

I have to go to see LAD I really miss him, I feel bad because I do not have enough time to go and visit him buuu

One Godbrother asked me if U are going to go to India next year .. I told him I can not tell, but he wants some hint about that because he wants to go next year with a group of godbrothers but he wants your association during his first trip. May U comment me about this topic?? 

Thank all so much Gurudeva for your inspiration hope to connect with U soon 

Your eternal servant

Agt Srila Prabhupada!
Agt Nitay y Gauranga!
Pamho.
Hare Krsna.
Hola Maharaja, soy bhakta Pablo del Parikrama, de España.
Espero que se encuentre muy bien de salud Maharaja, y en todos los aspectos.
Me encanta poder leer Sus DTC y cartas, y poder meditar en Sus respuestas.
Desde la ultima carta, he intentado levantarme todos los dias al Brahma-muhurta, pero solo me he podido levantar la mitad de los dias.
 
HpS - Jaya.  TlgaSP!   Pero es bueno!
 
Tengo que mejorar mucho. A veces estoy muy cansado.
Cuando me levanto mas justo de tiempo solo canto las rondas enfrente de mis Deidades.
Me esfuerzo por concentrarme lo max posible en el Maha-mantra, y luego intento cantar todo el resto del dia de una manera u otra.
He vuelto otra vez a la lectura.
 
HpS - El libro Krsna!!!
 
Un devoto como yo, sin estar iniciado, no creo que sea el mejor para nada. Solo puedo decir que intento mejorar cada dia con todo mi deseo.
Sigo pensando como poder tener una mejor Sadhu-sanga en mi vida.
He leido Maharaja que va a dejar de iniciar. Me da pena no haber conseguido ser Su discipulo. 
 
HpS - Puede ser mi "Discipulo" si sigue mi disciplina!
 
Estamos empezando el mini-Templo-Ashrama a las deidades, unos 9 m2. Va a quedar bonito, un kunda pequeño, Radha-kunda Bindu, un pequeño Ashrama, Vasanta-Vrnda Ashrama, las Deidades, Avadhuta Nityananda Gaura Candra, Laksmi Yoga Nrsimha, Namacarya Thakura, y Tulasi. Espero poder terminar rapido y enseñarlo. La foto es mirando al norte desde el futuro templo-ashrama, realizando un  Parikrama a Balarama Loka en Vasanta Panchami, el comienzo de la primavera en Vrndavana.
Yo, de una manera o de otra, me siento feliz. Estoy muy agradecido por este Yoga.
Perdone por no haberle felicitado por su Vyasa-puja, pense que lo habia hecho, pero veo que no es asi.
Me gustaria agradecerle de todo corazon su esfuerzo por Sus acciones, pensamientos y palabras,  en que personas inmersas en la ilusion como yo, obtengamos conocimento trascendental, para poder saborear la dulce realidad del Sadhu-sanga con Krsna. Muchas gracias de todo corazon, por luchar para salvarnos.
Me gustaria ofrecerle mi promesa de estar 3 meses con un Sadhana completo. Arati, baile y Japa en Brahma-muhurta, lectura de Srila Prabhupada, principios estrictos, y Gaura-arati. Ya le informare.
Gracias Hanumatpresaka Swami por empujarme a resolver mis problemas, mi maya, de todas las maneras posibles.
A Sus pies.
Hare Krsna, Hare Rama. 
P.D.: ¿ Donde fisicamente podremos obtener su Darshan cuando se retire Maharaja?
 
HpS - O.K.  Tres meses.   Donde esta Vd?        Esta ano estamos visitando a Espana para tres semanas en Mayo!

Recommendation for Mirabai and an invitation to visit Valencia

11 years, 9 months ago by tirtharaja dasa in Hot Topics, Calendar Development

Dear Hanumat Presaka Maharaja!

Please accept my our humble obeisances! All glories to Srila Prabhupada! All glories to Sri Guru and Gauranga!

My name is Tirtharaja Dasa, and I serve as an (almost) a temple president of (nearly finished) ISKCON Valencia (Spain) temple. We are in the midst of construction works of the new temple and our inauguration date, by Krishna's mercy, is set to 31 of March. I am writing for two reasons, one is a recommendation letter for bhaktin Mirabai, and another one is to invite you to visit us in May, during your visit to Spain.

Yadunandana Swami asked me to do the recommendation letter and necesary formalities (the exam and so on), since Mirabai lives in Valencia. Maharaja is very much in favour of Mirabai taking the vows and your shelter through a Harinama initiation. I´m happy to recommend Mirabai Platón for Harinama initiation. As far as I know she has been chanting a minimum of 16 rounds of japa every day strictly for at least one year and following the regulative principles for more (much more) than one year. Moreover, she has successfully completed the official ISKCON initiation exam, proving sufficient philosophical knowledge. As an ISKCON devotee living outside of the temple, she has been doing regular morning programs and puja at home for many years and is active member of our community.

We would like to invite you to come and visit us during your May visit to Spain. Valencia is hour and a half by train from Madrid (AVE) and some 3 and a half hours from Barcelona by train too. If traveling by car, the distance is pretty much the same, 3 and a half to 4 hours from both cities. 

Your servant,

Tirtharaja Dasa

      HpS -  Jaya!  AGTSP  paoho.   Thank you so much.  Can you send us Mataji's full name and date of birth at [email protected] ?   Also her e-mail address?    She is on the Japa forum many days each morning.      We would like to visit Valencia.   Our visit this time is being organized by Jayanta Das.  You can talk with him and he would have the best idea of what is practical!!   BEST OF WISHES for your Temple inauguration and more and more and more success!!!
