Hare Krsna Beloved Gurudeva:

AGTSP, PAMHO


Happy Anniversary ¡¡¡ Our Smaranam today was about HH Bhakti Svarupa Damodara Goswami and your very good self. We have so much mercy to our disposal and me at least not taking advantage of it.


HpS - Nor I of the mercy in this movement, yet Lord Nityananda is pushing the spoon inour mouth.


This year I mostly take many courses in order to enhance my teaching at college.

I want to make this as an offer to You. This last is from Oxford Education ECDT: European Certification for Digital Teaching. I thought I will just get a merit certificate, but by the mercy of Krsna I got distinction.


Tom Brown - Distinguished from whom? ? ? Will they build a statue of you in a Designer Academic Gown sitting with your hand resting our your hand, digits? What does Digital Teaching mean?


Nowadays I am working on tackling maya haha.


TB - Ooof! Big woman. Russian weight lifter.


By tuesday I will end my activities in one university I hope to have more time in order to develop my hearing and chanting.


HpS - ... and writing for the many projects we have. We should make a movie.


In January I will give classes to Rukmini, she is preparing for CAE: Certificate for Advanced English. She will come home. Please I humbly request your blessings.


HpS - Very nice. She needs a fairy godmother. You would be good at that.


Maybe we can work on reading comprehension with the Srimad Bhagavatam.


TB: Pregnancy of Diti in the evening, no?


Jaya Gurudeva

See you tomorrow at FMP


HpS - Unless someone bombs the radio station!


If I take birth again, will I be a woman and marry a Jehovah's Witness and drink coffee and eat omelettes? Ooof! I hope I can be an ISKCON devotee and take more advantage of the opportunities eg. Play sports with Krsna get raped (swept of my feet) by Krsna.



Trying to be your disciple

CMDD


HpS - Trying to be your servant!!

Hare Krsna Dear Gurudev

Hare Krsna Dear Gurudev,

  Please accept my humble obeisances at your lotus feet.

  All glories to Srila Prabhupada.

  All glories to Guru parampara.


  Gurudev, you have 3 questions for me on https://monkeywarrior.com/detail/11868/


  1. 10 mins, some time 15 mins. 

HpS - ASA -- Amazing. If we are just chanting with concentration it takes us about 5-minutes.


  2. :), we realize, how you see Radha-Krsna in Person. You have super

    excellent Japa and Gyatri for many years and a GREAT Recluse ( vairaagee ). 

    So for you it is very normal to see Radha-Krsna in person.

HpS - That would be frightening!


   Also we realize, how you access Krsna's daily routine.

HpS - Only if we follow Mother Yasoda.


  3. we speak with devotee ( who are good sadaka, bhajanandi ) who speak about 

    Radha-Krsna.

HpS - Try to trick regular people into appreciating the light of the Sun, the taste in water also!

        

    Normally, we speak frequently with 2 sadaka devotee - one who chant 1.75 lakh 

    japa per day. Two - who was a great chemical scientist with Dov ( Post PhD from 

    USA after IIT-Mumbai ). He quit job 8-10 Years ago, live in Mayapur and Translating 

    Srila BhaktiVinod Thakur's bengali books.


    we become a less speaker but we have your yahoo letter about preaching instruction, 

    direction for me.



your fallen servant,

Girivaradhari-Gopal Das


HpS - Thank you. Only in India!

Bhagavatam 11/23 and 12/5

4 years, 3 months ago by mittalga in Other

My dear Maharaja!

Pranams! Namaste!


Bhagavatam 11/2/41: ... seeing everything that exists within creation as the body of the Supreme Lord, Hari, the devotee should offer his sincere respects to all beings

(hareḥ — of the Supreme Lord, Hari; śarīram — the body; yat kim ca — whatever; bhūtam — in created existence; praṇamet — one should bow to; ananyaḥ — thinking nothing to be separate from the Lord.)


Bhagavatam 3/29/34: Such a perfect devotee offers respects to every living entity because he is under the firm conviction that the Supreme Personality of Godhead has entered the body of every living entity as the Supersoul, or controller.


Above 2 verses are meaning of "Namaste". Namaste to you!


I am not sure whether you read Bhagavatam chapters 11/23 and SB 12/5. Those 2 chapters describe how I see the reality these days. I wanted to know if you also see the reality in similar way. Instead of describing the reality in my own words, I think that Bhagavatam 11/23 and 12/5 chapters describe it quite well. So I would like to know your understanding on those chapters.


Please ignore this request if it is inconvenience.


Namaste,

Gaurav Mittal


HpS - I might have read them at some point. I have been plodding and dancing through the SB for many decades. It is wonderful, no?

Right from BG [https://vedabase.io/en/library/bg/5/18/] this attitude, Bhava, is suggested, no? My consciousness depends on what mode of nature I am in. In general I do not hate anyone as my enemy, and when I am and I put myself in the mode of goodness I see that every thing is real, detailed, wonderful.

Hare Krsna Dear Gurudev

Hare Krsna Dear Gurudev,

  Please accept my humble obeisances at your lotus feet.

  All glories to Srila Prabhupada.

  All glories to Guru parampara.


  HG Jibesh Prabhuji is very happy after your message for him. 

  He expressed humble gratitude for you. He says - he is the most 

  least educated among all disciples, despite Maharaj accepted him. 

  He is very grateful to you. He has no words to express.


  Gurudev, he has so many stories from book distribution (Sankirtan story). 

  Actually he distribute books in fair at different places. Many people come 

  to him with material problems and ask solution.


  Among many stories, am writing one in 5-6 lines:

A small boy ( 6-7 years old, 4th standard ) come first time to his book stall 5 years ago. He purchased a book, read entire night and come back next day and brought one of his same age friend and purchased same book for him as well. He boy explained content of the book and encouraged his friend to read such book, book has answers of everything. 

  After that he brought his father and explained importance of SP books & 

  encouraged to read those. After that the same boy used to come to his stall every 

  year to purchase book. This year when the boy came, Jibesh probhu was not able 

  to identify him then the boy started telling about last 5 years. Then Prabhuji realized. 


  He has many stories. He meets all kind of people and gain stories.


  HG Jibesh prabhuji is very simple by heart, leads a very simple life.


your fallen servant,

Girivaradhari-Gopal Das


HpS - Of course, we want to hear more stories!

Dear Guru Maharaja, Hare 💛

Krsna 💜, all glories to Srila Prabhupada! 🌼


In the text of the last Kapi Dhvaja you asked about us. Thank you for your care and remembrance of ourselves on the other side of the Bhumi ball. 🌍


I do not write much (or at all) here on the Blog. Different reasons for that. Do not have much to say. Kind of nothing new, especially in comparison to your activities. Of course, life is always new and fresh and changing. You cannot step in the same river twice, said bhakta 'fellow from ancient Greek'.


I still have a job in the school with a kid with disabilities (behavior disorder). By working with him, I get a lot of new perspective. Hope that it is making me a better person and a Krsna bhakta.


Nirgata is doing online classes due to COVID-19.


Our bodies, now almost turning 50, are with less energy and more pain. Learning to deal with it positively.


We continue with puja, japa, sastra reading (little less then previous years), hearing classes online, etc. For Gita Jayanti we plan to have online reading of the all slokas of BG (translations only).


Your (this) Blog is still my most visited website (+ your Tweets).


Having some thoughts about various topics: diksa guru, devotee attire, ways of reaching out/sharing Krsna consciousness, being relevant (language) to people. Still not putting that into written words.


Parents becoming quiet old now (85 years). Some adjustments for that needed.


Are there any news from devotees from Spain (Tirtha-kirti and Laksmana, Jaya-sakti, etc.) I read here on Blog from Jayanta and Jaramara Hari.


HpS - We don't hear from The Thirtha Kirti or the Laksmana DD. I guess that means they are fine. I hope so. Such nice people.


I read news from Pandaveya? (Pablo). I met him in person once (for a few days). And your comments to his news.


HpS - Pandava-prsni Das


I lost touch with Indradyumna (Serbia). We tried to meet once on Vaisnava summer camp in Serbia but he had to work those days.


HpS - He comes on to the FMP program some time. I think he is on the road a lot doing trucking and of course he has like 400 fruit threes. He also seems fine.


It is nice to write letters (or journaling), however I still like to talk face to face. It feels warmer, more organic. That is maybe because I do not talk much or have much live conversations, so there is no enough quantity to feel it as energy sucking.


HpS - One old man in a Spanish village that had quite modern houses but went back to the time before the Romans said that he noticed that the current generation can't look at each other and talk. It is almost like they have to have little emo signs to put into their hands while they are talking. 😁


Something I was wandering about ... Please withhold name details here if you find it needed. There is a devotee, now sannyasi, I forgot his sannyasa name (Bhakti something), ex Maha-

mantra prabhu. You remember him? I know him from my Vrindavana days (half year spent in 2000.). When I accompanied you in 2006. in Vrindavana (Vraja Mandala Parikrama, etc,.) we were on one of his evening lectures in prasadam hall. After the lecture you told me :" Bhakti xyz is crazy". We did not comment much later. So, maybe you know, few years later something happened to him. I do not know the details but is interesting how you sensed it. It opened few questions up? All time brahmacari and full of sloka devotee at age of 60 having mental problems, and similar inquiries. Would you like to comment on that?


HpS - I don't remember the details. I think I know of whom you are talking. I never considered him exactly crazy except if a joking sense, that he was eccentric. Of course, the Britannica considers Lord Caitanya eccentric also.

I was doubtful of his talking to woman for what seemed hours during Japa in the Krsna-Balarama Temple, but that is all I know about his specific case.


In general, even Lord Brahma, with four heads and cognizant of like 80% of what's happening in the universe just by "figuring it out", was intoxicated by his daughter, Sarasvati, and began to run after her for romance.


In general, we can have accidental fall-downs at any point, but we don't lose our progress. We may even become deer, but we don't experience it like an ordinary Dude, no?


You have that experience, no?


You know you should not eat the extra samosa, but like Ajamila you can't stop yourself, and then your body suffers, but you don't suffer because you tried, and your body learns a lesson.


Some thoughts. O.K.?


Our respects to your esteemed family. We always think that Nir gata means No Cat.


Your servant Namacarya Das


Kapi Dhvaja 14 de Dic

4 years, 3 months ago by Patrak das in Other

Hare Krishna Querido Gurudeva!!!!!!!!!!!

Todas las Glorias a Srila Prabhupada

Todas las Glorias a USTED.

Por favor acepte nuestras reverencias familiares. PAMHO


El boletín ya está (en ingles y español) en el grupo de Facebook, este es el enlace:

https://www.facebook.com/groups/166681160058275/


Finalmente acabaron las clases en el colegio. Fue un año muy intenso, pero aprendimos muchas cosas, especialmente la capacidad de los niños por aprender de una manera diferente a lo habitual.


Hace unas semanas pudimos por fin ver a nuestra doctora. Despues de varios meses pudimos conversar con ella y ver como estaba esta maquina (cuerpo). Su conclusión: Necesito comer algo de carne para poder mantener mi sistema inmunológico fuerte, mas en esta pandemia.


Respondiendo sus preguntas


HpS --- Thank you all. How is your venerable Mother? Your Aunt live nearby also?

Mi madre esta muy bien. En las mañanas esta haciendo ejercicios físicos, también algunos ejercicios para trabajar la memoria. Mi tía, que vivía cerca, dejo el cuerpo el año pasado.


How old are your students?

tienen 11 años


What are you teaching them?

Enseño todos los cursos. Matemáticas, lenguaje, personal social, ciencia y tecnología, música, manualidades, ingles, etc.


Of course, you are teaching them what is life, by your attitude, no?

Si. Muy difícil, porque basicamente enseñamos con el ejemplo. La relación del ser humano con la naturaleza, a través de los cursos que damos. Descatar al ser humano como un ser en devenir.


Can you describe a couple of them?

Hay un niño que es como yo cuando estaba en el colegio: muy inteligente, muy hábil, pero muy distraído, muy hablador y muy gracioso. Tengo otra niña que le encanta leer, todos los días lee mucho porque quiere saber muchas cosas y quiere ser presidente de la república y cambiar el mundo.



Muchas gracias por darnos este grandioso servicio. su misericordia es increíble.

EDT (Patrak das & Antuanette )


HpS - Awk! https://vedabase.io/en/library/spl/1/1/#bb1561487

I heard that in Japan SP said that the people (not necessarily devotees) could eat fish, because there was so little land to grow food, but he asked them to PLEASE not kill the cows! ??


Super success in the spiritual life of your family. Make this the last one. Krsna is waiting!!!
