Guidance on Performing Prenatal Samskaras

2 months ago by am in Other

Dear Gurudev,


Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada and Sri Sri Radha-Krishna.

Happy Radhastami🎊


I hope this message finds you in good health and blissful Krishna consciousness.


Thank you so much for your guidance and considerate responses.


I am writing to seek your guidance regarding the prenatal samskaras (Garbhadhana, Pumsavana, and Simantonnayana) as I am currently 6 weeks pregnant and residing in Peru. I have only received Harinam Diksha and am not married. I am eager to perform these samskaras to spiritually bless my child and seek Krishna’s protection, but I am unsure how to proceed given my circumstances.


Is there a way you could conduct or guide these samskaras remotely, or should I approach a local ISKCON temple for assistance? Additionally, does ISKCON offer specific procedures for these samskaras, especially for someone in my situation?


I am deeply grateful for your wisdom and guidance on this matter. Please let me know how I can proceed to ensure the spiritual well-being of my child and myself.


Your humble servant,

A


HpS - AgtSP!! We are not expert in these things! Local devotees with some Brahminical training should be able to help, but the essence of any ceremony in Kali-yuga is Hari kirtan.

Eat nicely for your baby. Read and Chant for your Baby individually or in groups, Sankirtan.

That really is very, very good.

Send us more news as things develop.

All Glories to Srila Prabhupada, please accept my humble obeisances



Dear Guru Maharaj,


HpS - One letter, one devotee asks Srila Prabhupada if he call his local GBC, Sankirtan leader, as his guru, and Srila Prabhupada says, "Yes, but do not forget you is your real (or ultimate) Guru", So, we only feel comfortable with this title, Guru Maharaja, rather then Maharaja, for a Sannyasi, if everyone who uses it have accepted Srila Prabhupada as an uttama adhikari guru. NoI 5, last paragraph.

I think you have a very healthy understanding of this!!


When we saw you last year in September we told you we were expecting a baby, we were blessed by a little boy. He was born in Laredo Hospital, April 25th, his name is Karuna Avatar Nitai.


We’ve been pretty busy with visits from family and friends who came to meet the new addition to the family, while working on our new house in Riaño, currently building the rooms and the electric installation. 


HpS/ASA - 👍


Recently we were in Janmastami in New Vrajamanda. They had a gorgeous festival, never seen anything like that there, nicely organised by Yugala Kisor Dasi with lots of kirtan and activities. We saw the whole community coming together, working towards the festival and creating a nice atmosphere.


HpS/ASA - Is ISKCON in the third phase? 1st they will laugh at you. 2nd they will attack you. 3rd they will start asking you for serious guidance? Challenges at every phase.


We hope to be able to move into our new house soon, just before winter arrives, Krishna willing, and work on our winter farm vegetables and spring water.


I hope these few words meet you well and that my little one’s schedule will improve so I can join Japa Joe and the full morning program.


your servant

Sukanya Sita devi dasi


HpS - Jaya!!!!!

We always remember SP's comment that these are not ordinary children. Krsna does, not send ordinary children to be children of devotees, so the parents must protect them very carefully so that they can grow up well and do wonderful things for Krsna!!!

Family affection is very natural. Kapila recommended it to Devahuta, but He also recommended that she always temper it with a little bit of Sankya, remembering that your, my, baby, husband's, all bodies are just biological robots that have nothing more to do with us than your cellphone.

Thank you all so, so much.

All success like Kardama and Devahuti!

Please accept my humble obeisances to your lotus flower feet pushpanjali to them 🌺🪻🌹💐🌷🌺🪻🌹💐🌷🙇🏻‍♀️💖🙏🏻🎵


HpSwami - In our present existence, level of spiritual development we do not have lotus feet. Confuses us when you say these things! Wonder about the perspective of the rest of your questions and comments!!!!!


All Glories to Srila Prabhupada!

All glories , all Glories, all glories !!!!!

All Glories to You my adored Spiritual master eternal!!


Here I just wanted to tell you that:


I've found a way to bring the signal from outside to inside the house, so I feel very happy!


Franco actually made a system that uses a car battery to charge our phones and provide some light in our home at night. We live without electricity, and I've always wanted to live this way, very simply. Because of where we are, sometimes when there's a very thick cloud cover and it's overcast, I don't get a signal, not even outside the house.


I just hope there aren't any cloudy days so I can connect with Your lovely person. You help us so, so much!!! If I don't return to God, I'm a big fool!


I could do you some service, please ask me: Your attempt at being a servant:

Japa Prati Jalpa Radha Devi Dasi

HpS - AgtSP. Your public contact is already so nice. Service for Gopal and Franco Swami. Send a clip of 25-maha-mantras of Japa kirtan.

Congratulations on your advance in the cellular connection!

Living simply like that sounds very nice.

Have you got a garden?

Neighbors?
