Todas las Glorias a Srila Prabhupada

Acepte por favor mis respetuosas reverencias.

Aquí le envío la letra del primer intento. Estamos tratando de componer canciones basándonos en las canciones de los acaryas previos al idioma latino.

UDILO ARUNA

Cuando el sol apareció

ASA - Donde?

Gourasundarn [la joya de los doble nacidos] despertó

Sus amigos él llevó

Cada pueblo conquistó 

[Aldea?]

Sus tambores sonaban

Las campanas jugaban al son

Su bella forma dorada, temblaba

Pura expresión de amor por Dios

Hare Krishna 

Hare Krishna 

Krishna Krishna 

Hare Hare 

Hare Rama 

Hare Rama

Rama Rama 

Hare Hare

Todos juntos coreaban 

mukunda mādhava yādava hari

A las personas clamaban, ¡despierta!

Pierden tiempo al dormir y gastan mucho en su vestir

Usted no aprecia el regalo

Que es tener un cuerpo humano

Si no te vuelves sirviente

Te vas hundiendo hasta la muerte

Hare Krishna 

Hare Krishna 

Krishna Krishna 

Hare Hare 

Hare Rama 

Hare Rama

Rama Rama 

Hare Hare

Cada salida y puesta de sol

Cada segundo se pierde

Si el tiempo gastas sin razón, por no ver

Quién reside en el corazón 

Este negocio te espera

El santo nombre libera

Del sufrimiento del dolor 

Ciclos del mundo sin valor

Hare Krishna 

Hare Krishna 

Krishna Krishna 

Hare Hare 

Hare Rama

Rama Rama 

Hare Hare

Tal como el sol brillante

Es el santo nombre, radiante

Ilumina la oscuridad 

A todo el mundo quiere llegar

Bebe las dulces palabras

Que el maha mantra regala

No necesitas más que estos versos 

Lo más preciosos en el universo 

Hare Krishna 

Hare Krishna 

Krishna Krishna 

Hare Hare 

Hare Rama

Hare Hare

Por favor Gurudeva, dígame que le parece y si es posible seguir componiendo. La música de esta canción es estilo reggae. Si usted lo aprueba, podría darme un listado de las siguientes canciones para poder seguir escribiendo. Sería genial poder ir lanzando cada semana una canción nueva, es bastante trabajo, pero no imposible, debo estudiar más las canciones de esos grandes Vaisnavas.

Su payaso

Piyari Mohan das.

HpS - No se??? Es poesia en otro idioma. Deficil para mi. Aparece bien... Bien.... posible mas detalles as we noted at the start. but it is nice the way it is, as we could scan it!!!

Cancion, video, espectaculo!

Hare Krsna su santidad, acepte mis reverencias por favor.

Me presento, soy Gopinath, mis padres son devotos, Maha Madavi DD y Rama Priya Das. naci en Ecuador. Tengo 31.

I was away from Krsna consciousness for practically all my life (since I was 12yo), mainly because I wanted to have a normal life, also because I did not wanted to believe in god, which is absurd because I cant avoid to pray at night.

I was not able to understand the real implications of been Krsna conscious, I read the books but they did not make any sense. So I stayed away.

Then a couple of years ago, after spending lots of time trying to find happiness with a material perspective (finishing my under graduate and graduate studies, buying a car, getting a place to live, having a girlfriend and all that) I get bored, and realize that I needed something more. I always remember my sister kunti saying: "dont be afraid of being a deep person". And then I started to embrace my spirituality, first, I went to a vipassana course of ten days, and it was so awesome, its like I was born for meditating.

HpS - AgtSP one of my best friends from University became big Vipassana Dude!

It happened that last year in august, I took my japa for the first time in decades, I had always keep it near me, but never touched it, it was my japa from when I was a kid. And I started to chant a little. And it felt great!!!! Then I decide to go to the temple in santiago, to the morning program. Hahahah of course it was hard because its too early so I never get up in time and in consequence I never went. But one day, I said like man, if you dont do it now, you are never going to do it.

So I woke up at 4, take a quick bath, get into the car and to the temple. I was really nervous, but the devotee that was there, Sebastian, welcomed me with a lot of enthusiasm and give me a garland, it was so nice, like every little thing, from the sounds of the bell to the majestic altar remind me of my childhood.

I went ther to leave at 10am, but ended up leaving at 10pm!!!!!

HpS - ASA --- My, God!

Helping in the temple, talking about cosmology. It was great.

Well, I have a lot of things to say, I went to India also, but I dont want to take a lot of your time.

Just want to say hello, and pay obeisances onto your lotus feet.

Thank you, Im at your service,

Gopinath.

HpS - Jaya!!!! Hare Krsna. Do you read the KRSNA book (with others)?

All Glories to Srila Prabhupada,

Dear Guru Maharaja,

I came here to tell you that unfortunately for us Lila Sakti Devi Dasi left her body last night WITH 92 years old, and advanced alzheimer.

HpS - ASA - She was so great. We wondered what had happened to her. One time we came over from Santiago to VP on the bus and when we got of, three of us, we didn't know which way to go to get to here flat for the weekend.

Then some Dude, walks up ans sees us in Vaisnava dress and say, "You looking for Mama Lila-shakti", and we said, "Uh, yes... ", and he says, "Come with me, I show you. I show you."

Yet that is still the situation. She still is so great! Unfortunate for us but she has gone to excellent destination, no? Where is she now? What is she doing??

She was a dear devotee by all the community here in Chile.

Disciple of His Holiness Jayapataka Swami, she was a devotee who performed tireless service for Krishna, who welcomed and trained many devotees and devotees in the "Región of Valparaíso", and with her example of humility and compassion inspired many people on the path of Bhakti Yoga.

For many years she conducted a program in Valparaíso, inviting new people, with Bhagavad Gita readings and cooking delicious dishes for all the guests. This program was the place where many people met Krishna and where many devotees continued to cultivate their faith.

Doing fast numbers, one of her vartmana-pradaksaka disciples, Madhava Priyasakhi devi dasi, said to me that more or less there are 15 active devotees now that met Krishna Consciousness because of Lila Shakti devi dasi.

Even ourselves we went there with you several times. She appreciated you a lot. Thank her contact with a director of a school we spend several days in one school on one summer in 2007 I think. Very nice programs in Biblioteca Severin, Conference in one Centro Cultural, Harinamas, et al. All the devotees remembered that program a lot.

HpS - Yes!

ISKCON Chile official post: "Last night Lila Sakti left this world leaving behind a life full of service and Bhakti. We will remember her with much affection, love and admiration. "

Ananda Vardhana commented:

Devotee's treasure !!!!! Great and resplendent Krishna consciousness programs in Valparaíso !!!!!

Dozens of memories in my heart with your Prasadam and big heart !!!!!

Hospitable host for every lucky guest who came to her home, a perfect example of a Krishna temple.

Guru Maharaj Hanumat Presaka Swami has great appreciation for her.

My sterile eyes moisten, thinking that she represents that devotee who speaks little, and does much.

All glories to mother Lila Lila Sakti, maker of Devotees !!!!!

HpS- The little train used to climb the machine in front of her flat!!! With Tulasi on the balcony and beautiful altar.

So, please, Guru Maharaja, a lot of her vartmana-pradarsaka disciples requested from you, if possible, your blessings and good desires to her. Keep her in your holy prayers.

HpS - Why do you even ask!??? She was always admired and appreciated by us. We hope to meet her again, to preach in Valparaiso again!!!!

Regards,

Your servant Jagad Guru Das

Todas las Glorias a UD, querido Gurumaharaja.

Por favor acepte nuestras reverencias

El boletín ya esta (en ingles y español) en el grupo de Facebook aqui:

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

Muchas gracias por su gran esfuerzo de enviar el boletín. Como siempre decimos, este gran tesoro nos da mucha energía.

Continuamos trabajamos en casa. Hemos perdido un poco el miedo, y hemos salido unas veces fuera de casa para emergencias.

La gran ventaja de toda esta situación es que podemos tomar mas tiempo para nuestro sadhana y la adoración. Aunque en varias ocasiones tomamos cualquier excusa para relajarnos. Tenemos algunas rondas pendientes, pero esperamos ponernos al dia.

Muchas gracias

Equipo de Traductores (Antuanette & Patrak das, por ahora)

ASA - Gracias EDT!!! No, tenemos accesso a Face book! Possible podemos aumentar accesso a nosotros, pero.... pienso 99% del mundo tiene Facebook.

Muchas gracias. VDs son inspiracion para nosotros escribir.

Uno mas!

All Glories to Srila Prabhupada

Hare Krishna,

Dear Guru Maharaja,

I'm happy to tell you that Rasarani will have a sister or brother in March.

The doctor says that probably, she will be a girl. I think that my mother, grandmother and godmother are coming again to the care of me or something or more, that I should take care of three women now. They were three strong women who passed away already and take care of me in my childhood in a very good, ethical and God-conscious way.

Anyway, we hope as a family to have your blessing to increase more and more our Krishna consciousness, every day.

We are following the process strictly and we can say that it works. We are stable happy, happiness with intelligence, understanding that we will die and the only thing important, ultimately, to be happy devotees of the Lord, and try to explain to other that is a good and real thing.

Maharaja Bhakti Vijñana Swami was very impressed when he went to the university in Russia and one his classmate and receive the news from the doctor that he will die soon because of a disease. In other words, he will die young, handsome, smart as he met him. But, his classmate despite the notice, he still continues to going to the school to prepare exams. Maharaja thought that this kind of meaningless life he doesn't want for himself.

Ourselves, we have obtained meaningful lives that deserve to live for Krishna thank to Srila Prabhupada, and thank you to teach us how we can use it wisely.

Hare Krishna querido guru maharaja, for all your patience with me all these years. I hope to fit to be your disciple soon. 

HpS - ASA --- AGTSP paoho. I thought we already answered this, but here it is again. Hmm! Well it deserves second, "Congratulations!". Maybe your daughters are partial incarnations of Lalita, Visakha... maybe not, but for sure they are not ordinary people!!! Krsna picks the father , mother, children in the families of devotees.

Still I can't add text inside the box that say: "Letter text" Maybe the whole content should be written just in the titles, good chance to learn to write in short "sutra" way

Hare Krishna,

Here is Prahlad Nrsimha das. It seems issue is in your computer. You can contact me over telegram (Nrsimha), FB Messanger (Prahlad Nrsimha das (HPS)) or email ([email protected]) and I can try to see over Teamviewer what is the issue.
