HpS - AGTSP paoho. Was so nice to be with you in India. When we were there in 1978 we heard that one old man said that he remembered how there was more water in the Yamuna, more trees and herds of deer used to drink water from the Yamuna. Of course, more poverty in some ways also.

Strange thing is that although the Parikrama path and many of the Holy Places on it around Vrndavan are almost completely convered in asphalt we still felt transcendental satisfaction in doing the Parikrama. It is just an inevitable feature of Kali-yuga.

Photos are incredible!

Parampara.

Only solution.....  ????

Hare Krsna Maharaja! Todas las glorias a Srila Prabhupada!! Por favor acepte mis humildes reverencias.

Espero se encuentre bien. !! Aquí, Belen desde Buenos Aires - Argentina    ---   .U.

Por un lado..... En el BG 9.29 acerca de la reciprocidad entre el devoto y Krsna.. Dice "La reciprocidad del Señor no se debe considerar que se encuentra bajo la ley del karma".. mi pregunta es, cómo sabemos si estamos teniendo una real relacion con Krsna o si estamos actuando y teniendo reacciones bajo la ley del karma?

            HpS - Different answers at different levels. AGTSP. A Goswami is in touch with the supersoul. A new devotee takes instruction from Prabhupada's books and Guru. Chanting 16-rounds is not a product of Karma. It is a relation with Krsna and He will personally make it hard, easy etc.

BG 9.28 PRahupada habla de los sannyasis, de que aquellos que dedican su vida al servicio del Señor se deben considerar completamente liberados en el presente y en el futuro, su ida al hogar, de vuelta a Dios, está garantizado. Pero en el curso de discípulos me explicaron que los maestros espirituales no se liberan del ciclo de nacimiento, enfermedad, vejez y muerte hasta que no liberan a todos sus discípulos. Es decir, vuelven a reencarnar en este mundo para liberar a sus discípulos. Entonces no me queda muy en claro.

        HpS - There is a letter to Brahmanda where Prabhupada says that if the disciple follows the standard of the vows then the Guru is obliged to come and help him if he doesn't go back to Godhead in one lifetime. But if he is not following then the Guru is not obliged. So, if he is following the he should go back quickly. Even if the guru has to come back he doesn't come back under the influence of Maya. It is like a Doctor coming into the hospital to help a patient on his day off, his vacation.

BG 11.8, Prabhupada dice en el significado que Arjuna es el comienzo del parampara.. pero no entiendo a qué se refiere. Ya que Arjuna no está dentro del parampara...

HpS - There are many Paramparas, from Laksmi, Shiva... We belong to the Brahma sampradaya. But that goes through Vyasa deva and Vyasa deva gives us the BG. So in that sense Arjuna is the beginning of the Parampara because Vyasadeva takes the BG from Arjuna.

En cuanto a cuestiones personales... mantengo las 16 rondas diarias, los principios y el servicio me cuesta bastante.. Si bien lo hago, me cuesta relacionar la acción en sí de lo que hago con la causa, que es Krsna.. Como puedo mejorar esto?

                HpS - No entiendo. Hablo espanol como un burro. poco subtil para mi!!

Muchas gracias!

Hare Rama!

HpS - Grrracias su carta, sus austeridades!!!

I And Mine

<big>Dear Gurumaharaja,
Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada! All glories to your grace.</big>

<big>In my meditation on gita chapter 12 i ran into a difficulty. Mother Urmila's explanation of the bhakti path in 12.8 - 9 - 10 is that in 10 the focus is on working for Krishna to attain peace, in 9 it is trying to fix the peaceful mind on Krishna (abhyasa-yoga) in order to get the desire for Krishna, and 8 is raganuga (as mentioned by Srila Bhaktivinode Thakur). </big>

<big>If i'm not being karma-yoga-oriented, i find myself on level 10. The idea is that i should work for Krishna. Krishna is my boss. He is the proprietor. My difficulty lies in how i feel towards property. When i worked in the office, i had a computer, which was for me, but not mine. That i could feel as not mine. I had a different relationship with that computer as with household stuff that i have bought with earned money. That does feel like it is mine. Or at least, there is a different relationship. Now my inquiry is this. How can i work in the mood of not being the proprietor if i actually do feel like that? To put it in another way, how do i get to the point of feeling things aren't mine, but Krishna's property. Perhaps i'm overcomplicating simple matters, and all these things can be solved by prayer and Krishna's mercy. </big>

<big>AGTSP - By regular Deity worship. Have Deity of Krsna in your house or Temple and then connect everything with Him. When you buy new clothes put them in front of the Deity and say, "We have these new clothes for your servants, are they correct?".</big>

<big>And He will say, "Little fancy aren't they??"</big>

<big>And you will say, "Yes, its a fact", and take them back and get something a little more appropriate.</big>

<big>The regular process of Diety worship is essential in the neophte and grhastha stages and it works!!</big>

<big>I hope you are doing well, both physically and spiritually.</big>

<big>Your servant,
Raghava-pandita dasa</big>

7th chapter or all the Gita onwards

Hare Krsna Guru Maharaja. Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada! <img alt="smiley" height="23" src="http://hps-d6.monkeywarrior.com/sites/all/libraries/ckeditor/plugins/smiley/images/regular_smile.png" title="smiley" width="23" />

BG 7.1

The Supreme Personality of Godhead said: Now hear, O son of Pṛthā, how by practicing yoga in full consciousness of Me, with mind attached to Me, you can know Me in full, free from doubt.

---

Does Krsna mean here the 7th chapter or all the Gita from this point on? In other words, is this "how" (from the verse) explained in 7th chapter or is explained in all the forward  chapters  (7 to 18)?

Thank you!

Your servant Namacarya das

             HpS - AGTSP. Does Bhurijana Das, "Surrender Unto Me" give a commentary? I am not expert in Gita, but as I understand at the 13th Chapter Krsna regresses to more preliminary topics, like gong back to the Cover of the Book level that He presented from 1-6.
