AGTSP

All glories to you

Dear Gurudev
I apologize for not write before, I hope're very good, I've been reading the Kapi dvaja
 and at the moment i heard you are in America?.i tried to enter the blog many times but somehow my account got block,
but i sent you a letter  with Caytanya p. i couldnt see if you answered in the blog, so Tungavidya M gave me this email, but i couldn't sent maybe this mail it's espired.
 Day by day im getting more happy to be in Vraj, im still doing my service in the school: num 1. art classes, 
num 2. Now we are organizing a cleaning program in All Vraj, my rounds are getting better but I have to get better at organizing my time
 ..... I have a lot of work  between school work, sadhana and painting deities (this is the ways how can give to my gopal his daily ladhu). 
The association of Tungavidya M and her beautiful family is helping me a lot, one day we were talking and I asked to her that i dont know what to do?
 some Babas asked me to paint their temple deitie's, which are sometimes Silas and  i dont think that im cualified to touch them,
 They also asked me to paint the walls of Radha kunda which im planing to do as soon as we get donations for the paints, 
I feel very lucky to be here and everything
that daily comes from the  beloved Srimati Radharani its to sweet for me, I look forward to progress a little  in this year, when are you planing to come to Vraj? i have many places to show you. We hope to have your  asociation soon here.

please forgive me my offences .... and the lack of seriousness in letter..

A donkeys questions

11 years, 7 months ago by Bhakta Reilly in Other

Hare Krsna Hanumat Presaka maharaja,

Please accept my humble obeisances at your apple blossom feet,

          HpS -   AGTSP.   Paoho at your potato flower feet.

All glories to SP & Gauranga

Maharaja I've been working things out lately as things have cropped up in family life.. My father was sadly arrested a few days ago for digital fraud in his online trading. It doesn't look good. Because of this me and my siblings have been forced to move away. After a big family meeting my siblings have gone to my fathers grandparents house while I stay with my mothers grandparents for education in Boise. My grandather has very short patience although he's been kind enough to tolerate this situation, I'm grateful he has let me live with him for sake of college schoolwork, but it's been hard these few days avoiding eating questionable vegeterian food & onions/garlic.

All this crazy has encouraged me to do my 16-4, I've taken sri sri goura-nitai with me here and packed Jagganath, Baladeva and subhadra away safely with my other deity forms. I'm sort of sad my siblings will be going away, I told them they can make they're own choices in devotional life as to what they want to eat and do and we all may have to make some sacrifices for now.. My fathers grandparents are very inimical towards K-con sadly..

My mother is in Europe and wanted by police in the states. I respect her because she's my mother but I just cannot agree with her on many things. She's a devotee so I don't want to commit vaisnava aparadha. I wish her well..

But I remember the Gita and know this is just Karma and our reactions, also to not lament over things cause that's just ignorance. Family is just like the temporary meeting of strangers passing by. I've been taking steps to securing a GED and becoming a full-time student in order to secure student loans and grants for college. I'm hoping everything will be possible by your grace maharaja. I really just want to know your not upset with me over all the foolish things I've done.. ..

Sorry about all the crazy. But things seem O.K. now, I was very happy to help serve for Janmastami festival at the Boise temple and fast.

              HpS - ASA -  Wow!     AgtSP.        What a circus!     You never told us anything about this stuff before.    Well, we all have our Karma.     A lot of time this stuff runs in the family, being politicians or thieves or artists...   We can join Krsna.  He's a thief. Your response seems good so far.  You have nice friends in Boise to help you make decisions.  Try to keep the onion and garlic out, but the meat, fish or eggs is basically non-negotiable requierement.

I wanted to ask some questions though maharaja.

1). Why in this age of kali has man created such wonderful things like Internet, Radio, Computers, Phones, TV, Video cameras, airplanes, printers, electricity, 'Modern medicine to cure diseases', cars, etc. But don't seem to be something in previous ages?

             HpS - You look at miracle like the Pyramids of Giza and so many other things and it seems that they had this high-tech stuff, maybe geo-magnetizm, but was probably much more efficient and the demigods made a better general atmosphere. Don't need a lot fo this stuff on Hawaii.  Even the pigs were eating mangos in Hawaii.

Although besides the heavy petrochemical pollution it puts on Bhumi and her oceans, it gives everyone this great sense of mans "evolution" towards 'space travel', independance from any 'god', and the 'pursuit of happiness'.

             HpS - The demons acquire many mystical powers. Krsna lets them thing they are God!

2). If the moon is really in vedic astronomy extremely far away, why do astronauts and scientists claim to have gone there to a dead rock and collected samples? In fact "China" is planning to visit the moon at the end of this year..

          HpS - Look at BG 8.25.  Sometimes P'pada talks about this subtle aspect of the moon and going there and other times going to the gross aspect. The distances then depend on which destination you are talking about.     Big topic.     Many people thought that the gross trip involved cheating.  Maybe the first one was faked and others were real...  I think if you look for Moon Hoax on the YouTube you will drown in an ocean of problems with the trip.

with all forgiveness your fallen servant,

Bhakta Reilly G.

HARI BOLO! PabloParikrama.

Agt Srila Prabhupada!
 
Agt Guru y Gauranga!
 
Jay Radha Govinda Candra!!!
 
Hare Krsna Maharaja, pamho.
 
Soy bhakta Pablo del Parikrama, de España.
 
Hola Maharaja, espero que se encuentre muy bien en todos los aspectos.
Me gustaria informarle un poco de mis ultimos acontecimientos.
 
               asa - nos gusta oir.
 
Yo sigo con las 16 rondas y los 4 principios.
 
              asa - alla akbar.
 
Programa completo. La lectura, ahora que tengo a Varuna, varia mucho pero un poco floja...ummm, lo intentare arreglar, pero he estado leyendo el 4 canto para poder participar en NIMSAR BhV cuando pueda ser posible.
 
              ASA - Super.  Puede leer un poco y explicar a Varuna por su modo.
 
Hay una cosa que olvide decirle; desde hace ya varios meses, Virginia ha vuelto a permitir que Varuna vuelva a ser vegetariano otra vez...Jay!!, me alegro un monton. El tambien esta muy contento.
 
                                            ~ super ~
 
Me alegra mucho comunicarle que, creo, he solucionado bastante mi problema de relacion practica con ISKCON, ya que por fin me he decidido a comunicarle a Madrid
Mandir que me gustaria volver a vivir en el ashrama y hacer servicio para Gaura-Nitay, principalmente para mi beneficio, dado que Ellos no me necesitan mucho. Pero espero poder complacerlos.
 
           ASA - Es bueno hacer una programa para un tiempo fijado, eg. voy a quedar para una mes, y despues revisar todo.
 
Aun tienen que comunicarme formalmente que me aceptan, pero Jayanta me ha informado que soy bienvenido, asi que no creo que haya problema....Jay!!!.
 
La verdad es que tengo muchas ganas de empezar esta nueva etapa otra vez, ya que, creo, lo necesito mucho. Ojala Gaura Nitay me permitan estar a su lado siempre haciendo servicio al lado de muchos Devotos.
 
En el ashrama ya estarian Isvara Das, no le conozco, y Jarikhanda HPS, Jay!!, creo que va a ser muy bonito, varios devotos para los programas..Jay!!
 
Espero que esta noticia le alegre Maharaja, y me permita acercarme mas a Usted, estar mas cerca de Diksa con Usted.
 
Estuve unos dias en el festival The Holy Name festival, en Nueva Vrajamandala. Solo me preocupe en el Santo Nombre, y debo decir que tuve una experiencia asombrosa, saboreando largos Bhajanas y dulce asociacion de Los Santos Nombres, Praladhananda Maharaja, Sacinandana Maharaja, Yadunandana Maharaja,.....e increible Devotos. Pude tener una experiencia muy viva del canto congregacional con devotos, como un arma mistica y yuga-dharma, el lugar de habitat de los Santos Nombres. Heche mucho en falta
Su asociacion Maharaja, y de otros devotos.
 
Sin mas Mahajara, a Sus pies.
Muchisimas gracias por todo.
 
Hare Krsna Hare Krsna.
                        asa - !!!   !!!  .....    !     bueno pasando tiempo en madrid, pero aparece bueno participar en asuntos familiar con la granja tambien...  poco a poco un buen plan, exoterica y esoterica!

Asokavan

11 years, 8 months ago by jaynityananda in Other

Hare Krishna gurudeva, please accept my obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada!

Can you clarify why mother Sita is lamenting in the asokavan, while asokavan, according to the name, is a place without soka, lamentation?

I hope this meets you in good spirits.

Your servant,
Raghava Pandit das

             HpS - ASA - AGTSP...  paoho.     We don't know exactly.  Tricky question.  You should become a lawyer.   Please look at http://vedabase.com/en/sb/5/19/5  , like the last paragraph.  Some light, no?   Maybe Her lamentation is Asokavan.

Hare Krsna, Victor.  We have deleted the letter, but it did not seem anything too confidential. Please excuse our mistake. Mostly we publish whatever comes to the Blog, so you can use a pseudonym or generalize offerings and then we can give a general response.  Thank you!!

¡Hare Krsna! Answer to Your question and other. Kriya Sakti dd. from Chile.

All Glories to Sri Sri Radha Krsna!<img alt="" src="http://hps.monkeywarrior.com/sites/all/libraries/ckeditor/plugins/smiley/images/40.gif" title="" />

All Glories to Sri Sri Goura Nitay!<img alt="" src="http://hps.monkeywarrior.com/sites/all/libraries/ckeditor/plugins/smiley/images/40.gif" title="" />

All Glories to Srila Prabhupada!<img alt="" src="http://hps.monkeywarrior.com/sites/all/libraries/ckeditor/plugins/smiley/images/40.gif" title="" />

Please accept my humble obeisances!

Guru Maharaja, first of all thank You for your quick response and for Your time. <img alt="" src="http://hps.monkeywarrior.com/sites/all/libraries/ckeditor/plugins/smiley/images/01.gif" title="" />

In relation to what you're asking me, I think I made drafting mistakes: Oscar lives in Santiago de Chile, he's Paudram Das’s brother (*** Paudram returned to Chile after years in Mexico).

             HpS - ASA -  Jaya!   Very nice for Paudram Das also.   AGTSP... paoho..

In other hand, I commented You that we are moving forward on a project to bring Radhanath Swami to Chile in some time. Radhanath Swami is Oscar’s Guru. Just we have something concrete on the project, I will tell You.

I checked your list of disciples and found that the date of the fire ceremony that took first initiation Dhanistha dd, Guna Manjari dd, Raga Sindhu das, Sripati das and I, appears as 2009 Mar 8, but it was actually 2009 Mar 7. I remember it well.

            HpS - ASA - Just testing to see if you were alert!   On your recommendation we will change it.

Excuse my bad English, and to waste Your time with this sort of thing. 

16R +4P + to improve in the worship of Sri Sri Gaura Nitai.

I hope your health is improving, and has a beautiful celebration of Balarama Purnima.<img alt="heart" src="http://hps.monkeywarrior.com/sites/all/libraries/ckeditor/plugins/smiley/images/heart.gif" title="heart" /><img alt="" src="http://hps.monkeywarrior.com/sites/all/libraries/ckeditor/plugins/smiley/images/40.gif" title="" />

My most respectful obeisances.

Your aspiring disciple,

Kriya Sakti d.d. <img alt="" src="http://hps.monkeywarrior.com/sites/all/libraries/ckeditor/plugins/smiley/images/37.gif" title="" /><img alt="" src="http://hps.monkeywarrior.com/sites/all/libraries/ckeditor/plugins/smiley/images/38.gif" title="" /><img alt="" src="http://hps.monkeywarrior.com/sites/all/libraries/ckeditor/plugins/smiley/images/a39.gif" title="" />

             HpS - Jaya!   Thank you for your letter...  We put some more news in the DTC.
