HpS/ASA - Ekangi Devi Dasi, two months ago!!!

TlGaSP! Pamho! Querido Gurudev, como está? Hasta cuando estará residiendo en Houston? Por favor disculpe las preguntas.

Quiero contarle que al término del año pasado, ayude en la organización de un programa para niños en el templo; un estilo de fiesta de fin de año, en el cual los niños tuvieron un espacio para ellos con clase, dharsan, pradadam y regalos. Resultó se

r muy exitoso. Me gustaría seguir realizando actividades

educativas para niños dentro y fuera de Iskcon y que éstas fueran parte de Asa/Nios. Es posible querido Gurudev? Puedo obtener su permiso y bendiciones en éste proyecto? Estoy siendo guiada por el team de protección al menor a cargo de Krishangi Dd en cuanto a los lineamientos y protocolos y ésto ha sido aún más inspirador porque quiero servir a los pequeños (magnánimos) Vaisnavas.

De antemano gracias por leerme y permitir que intente ser útil.

Un gran abrazo querido Guruji

Vanca kalpa! Cuídese por favor.

TlGaSP! Pamho! Dear Gurudev, how are you? How long will you be residing in Houston? Please excuse the questions.

HpS/ASA - I hope, agtSP, that we answered these questions in other posts, Twitter and now WhatsApp anveSaka groups!!!

Jaya!

I wanted to tell you that at the end of last year, I helped organize a children's program at the temple; a kind of end-of-year party, in which the children had a space for themselves with a class, dharsan, pradadam, and gifts.

It turned out to be very successful. I would like to continue doing educational activities for children both inside and outside of ISKCON and for these to be part of Asa/Nios.

Is that possible, dear Gurudev?

Can I have your permission and blessings for this project?

HpS - NIOS is kind of a distant organization. Like an elephant.

ASA is HpS, Monkey, Piggy et al.

I'm sure that they all approve as long as there is kirtan, stories, kirtan prasadam!!!!

I am being guided by the child protection team headed by Krishangi Dd regarding the guidelines and protocols, and this has been even more inspiring because I want to serve the small (magnanimous) Vaishnavas.

Thank you in advance for reading and allowing me to try to be helpful.

A big hug, dear Guruji.

HpS - 😟 My goodness! A lady trying to hug us!!! 😆 😆 🐘

Vanca kalpa! Please take care.

ASA - Thank you!

TlGaSP

Mi muy querido Guruji. Espero que se encuentre muy bien, principalmente de Salud.

HpS/ASA - AgtSP!!!! Hare Krsna//Hare Rama. Body, Mind and Spirit!

Es una alegría saber que se encuentra muy bien en Houston Mandir.

Éste escrito es para agradecer toda la bondad que tiene hacia nosotros.

Gracias por permitirnos estar conectados en M Arati y por estar diariamente motivándonos a través de los mensajes de WhatsApp.

HpS - Seems a lot of our survival is Krsna and Radha accepting our little service in the regular Deity worship that Srila Prabhupada gives us.

Es tan afortunado tener un maestro tan dulce y bondadoso. Agradezco cada día más a Sri la Prabhupada!

En lo práctico, hace un tiempo estamos (Por fin) cantando 16 rondas y principios.

ASA - ! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FoqxYqTNKmU

Retomar ésta base ha traído muchas bendiciones y tranquilidad a mi corazón y esto, irrefutablemente es gracias a su constante misericordia.

Con mi hija seguimos tratando de ser útil en el programa de niños durante los festivales.

Tuvimos una linda actividad para Nrsimha Caturmasi y hubo una obra Teatral realizada por devotos adultos lo cual trajo a mi corazón una nostalgia por la compañía Gauranga que dirigí hace tantos años.

El arte dramático es tan cautivador...

HpS - There is nothing greater than Theater! Our Yoga is Gandharva Veda. Singing,

Dancing and Drama!!!!

It is a science.

Become a great Director.

Los Domingos escuchamos su clase junto a los devotos. Yí Lin disfruta escuchar su voz y ahora dice que usted también es Su Gurudev.

Disculpe Guruji por contar cosas tan simples y básicas.

Agradezco su tiempo y comprensión al leer.

Por favor reciba mis respetuosos cariños. Una molécula que intenta servirlo y ser útil.

Con afecto, Edd e Yí Lin Gadhadari (dibujó esto para usted)

HpS/ASA - Super photos. Can take a drama and then sketch it and make it into a video clip. Practice going from stage shows to videos, no?

Post them!!

Hare Krishna Guru Maharaja, please accept my humble obeisances. I have a question, reading Upadesamrita, I have a doubt, on what depends, the rasa we have with Krishna?, Santa, Vatsalya, Madhurya... it, depends of us or from Krishna, or from both?, thank you very much,

Your servant

Danistha devi dasi.

HpS/ASA - As far, AgtSP! paoho... as we understand we already have a relationship with Krsna. https://vedabase.io/en/library/noi/4/#bb5903

We are made that way by Krsna, but He we are like Him because we have free will and we discover newer and newer types of service we can offer to him

The flute is in Shanta rasa in Braja, no? Yet, that is Shanta Rasa in BRAJA!!!

So, we can always improve our Rasa.

Maybe we are in Dasya rasa in Vaikuntha. No one is going to give up any spiritual gift they have, but .... if they join Sita, Rama, Laksmana, Hanuman in an incarnationin the material world, they may follow Hanuman and then add some Sakhya Rasa to their Dasya Rasa and have connection, residence, in Ayodhya?

Does it help?

Sorry slow to answer Blog posts around Gurupuja time. There were so many. Taking us five months to really begin to digest them and also read the Reports to Srila Prabhupada.

Thank you.

Great question.

Ask more.

Hare Krishna, Gurumaharaja 

Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada. 

Wishing so terribly that I could be there with you in Nila Madhava Dham but

accepting Krishna’s arrangement.

I feel

AGTSP

great separation from you but

also connected to you in the morning program and in my attempt to chant enthusiastically. 

It works! 

It all works. 

If I do it. 

If I follow you.

ASA - 🐖 follow us to prabhupada then follow him if we stop off.

You have delivered Srila Prabhupada’s message to me and you gave me this monumental name of a messenger. 

To live up to and to serve. 

The work has only just begun and I am praying everyday to stay with you in my heart.

The witch Maya is always there waiting for me to deviate. The only thing that is keeping me afloat is your instructions and this connection to the Parampara that you have provided. The sacred road carved out.

HpS - I hope you have pictures of you family altar in your house.

If in the Leonard Cohen song, 

Suzan is the Guru (like you say)...than you have taken me down to your place near the river (Yamuna). 

And I want to travel with you, and I want to travel blind

“And Jesus was a sailor when he walked upon the water

And he spent a long time watching from his lonely wooden tower

And when he knew for certain only drowning men could see him

He said all men will be sailors then until the sea shall free them

But he himself was broken, long before the sky would open

Forsaken, almost human, he sank beneath your wisdom like a stone”

Maharaja, you continually show me where to look among the garbage and the flowers. 

I want to write so many wonderful songs for you and put Bhaktivinode Thakur's words to guitar but for now I must listen. 

And get my rounds done early for you and gaze upon this path.

This path back home that you are on. 

“There are heroes in the seaweed, there are children in the morning

They are leaning out for love and they will lean that way forever

While Suzanne holds the mirror”

Thank you, Maharaja. 

Your aspiring servant, 

Nitisara Das 

knit e-sarees?? 😕

from e-Bay?

the king has no clothes!

start by giving people the idea of clothes on the internet.

giving them the idea that maybe they can become immortal.

for fools the foolish seems real.

for saints the sunshine is nice. the world is full of people, laughing to have us back.

laughing that we understand what a silly thing we did, but it is o.k.

others have done it.

so silly,

but not un natural.

just dressing up and playing like KRSNA and everyone for some time.

boise, boise sankirtan.

saving them from the golden fawn.

HARE KRISHNA REMENBERED AND ADORED GURUDEVA🙏💐🌻🌹🌷🌺 PLEASE ACCEPT MY HUMBLE OBEISANCES TO YOUR BEAUTIFUL; MERCIFULL LOTUS FEET🙏💐🌻🌹🌷🌺

ALL GLORIES TO SRILA PRABHUPADA!!!

ALL GLORIES TO YOU MY GURUMAHARAJA 🙏🌺🙏🌺🙏🌷🙏🌹🙏🌻

IT'S TRUE...HOW CAN I ASPIRE TO TAKE CARE OF YOU?

EVEN MOREOVER... SINCE I DISCOVERED NRSIMHA KAVACHA IN 2010, I HAVE NOT STOPPED CHANTING IT FOR YOU FROM THAT DAY TO THIS; AND I WILL CONTINUE TO DO SO UNTIL THE DAY I LEAVE THIS BODY.

AND ALTHOUGH I SHOULD NOT CHANT IT BECAUSE I DON'T DESERVE TO DO SO, I KNOW THAT KRISHNA APPRECIATES LOVE SO MUCH; THAT HE LISTENS TO ME ONLY OUT OF LOVE AND HEARS MY WISH THAT YOU BE ALWAYS PROTECTED.

AND BECAUSE I AM JUST A FOOLISH GIRL AND HAVE THESE MATERNAL FEELINGS, I HAVE ALWAYS HAD THEM FOR YOU. I HAVE ALWAYS WISHED THAT YOU ALWAYS BE WELL, THAT YOU EAT WELL, AND THAT YOU ALWAYS FEEL HAPPY IN THE COMPANY OF THE MOST BELOVED: OUR KRSNA.

I READ THE QUESTION OF MY DEAR FRIEND PRIYASAKHI, SHE ASKED HOW WE SHOULD PRAY FOR YOU. THE SAME THING HAPPENED TO ME WHEN I WAS PRAYING, AND THEN I SAID: I JUST WANT GURUDEV TO BE HAPPY WHEREVER HE IS, AND SINCE WE CAN'T BE HAPPY WITHOUT GOVINDA, I ALWAYS ASK THAT YOU, WHETHER YOU GO SOMEWHERE TO SERVE SRILA PRABHUPADA, OR RETURN TO GOLOKA, I JUST ASK THAT NOTHING DISTURBS YOU IN YOUR SPIRITUAL LIFE, AND THAT YOU ALWAYS BE HAPPY IN THE COMPANY OF KRSNA. 

A BIRTH CAN BE USELESS!

OR A BIRTH CAN BE GLORIOUS!!!

THAT IS ONLY BECAUSE OF YOU!!!

BY MEETING A PURE DEVOTEE AND RECEIVING HIS MERCY, ONE CAN MAKE THIS TROUBLESHOOTING HUMAN BIRTH A SUCCESS!

THANK YOU FOR ACCEPTING MY MATERNAL FEELINGS AND THE FEELINGS OF MANY OTHER MATAJIS WHO ALWAYS WISH FOR YOUR WELL-BEING.

MY FATHER ONCE TOLD ME THAT BEFORE I WAS BORN, HE WENT TO CHURCH AND ASKED FOR HIS DAUGHTER TO BE A GIRL. I BELIEVE GOD LISTENED TO HIM, BUT HE DID NOT JUST GIVE HIM AN ETERNAL GIRL, BUT GAVE HIM A VERY LUCKY GIRL BECAUSE SHE WAS GOING TO MEET HER GURU IN THIS LIFE!; AND SHE WAS GOING TO HELP HIM (MY FATHER).

AND ALTHOUGH I WAS NOT BORN INTO A KRSNA-CONSCIOUS FAMILY FOLLOWING REGULATIVE PRINCIPLES, I DARE TO BE SO HAPPY ALWAYS REMEMBERING KRISHNA AND ENJOYING SO MUCH BEING A KRISHNA DEVOTEE. AND THAT'S ALL THANKS TO YOU!!! ADORED GURUMAHARAJA!!!

YOU ARE LEADING ME TO KRSNA IN THIS BIRTH!

I HAVE NOTHING ELSE TO ASK FOR. I HAVE YOU; I HAVE SRILA PRABHUPADA; I HAVE KRSNA!!! I HAVE EVERYTHING!

THANK YOU FOR MAKING ME IMMENSELY HAPPY!!!

THANK YOU FOR COMING INTO MY LIFE, GURUMAHARAJA, MAY I BE ALLOWED TO PLEASE YOU WITH THE BLESSED DUST OF YOUR LOTUS FEET NOW AND FOR ALL ETERNITY.

YOUR FOOLISH KUMARI WHO ASPIRE TO SERVE YOU FOREVER: JAPA PRATI JALPA RADHA DEVI DASI

ASA - Once upon a time there was a duck. he went to goloka, but as he did he realized that he was just a big tree by the bank of the yamuna dreaming he was a duck, in the external energy.

How silly. 🙂

He should not have tried to become God, by becoming a Duck!

Hare Krishna Gurudeva

PAMHO - AGTSP

Thank you for supporting us in our spiritual life through your programs and the information you send us.

I've thought about resuming the service of the "Molinos de Viento" magazine in the future.

However, I believe very few people read and truly appreciate this service.

Might it be better to channel that effort into providing better service on ISKCON Chile's social media?

Hare Krishna 🙏🏻

PMD

HpS/ASA - Hare Krsna. We do not know.

We answer our Blog and try to preach to the immediate community.

We have not done a periodical for a long time.

The NEWS page in our Web page has not been updated for a long time.

all we can suggest is to just experiment, and do some sankirtan in some media always.

thank you!!!
