Todas las glorias a Goura Nitay

Todas las glorias a srila Prabhupada

Querido Gurudev Cada día analizo como mejorar mi servicio en casa, con LAD, las personas, mi familia mis deidades.... etc si bien cada día hago mi sadhana con los años he aprendido a siempre superar la calidad de mis acciones y me siento muy con tenta con mis avances, sigo leyendo a las devotas de Chile y preocupada de resolver sus dudas a demás de contenerlas en lo que necesiten, recordándoles Ekadasi y saludandolas en las fiestas co. Una lectura especial a la festividad, seguimos con distribución de dulces una vez a las semana donde ta las personas están donando desde su corazón algo para krishna, leemos cada día, B gita, Srimad Bhagavatam, biografía de Srila Prabhupada, CC además de ser oyente de los cursos que hace LAD donde recuerdo y aprendo cada día algo nuevo. estoy en el curso de Pada Patma haciendo ensayos PowerPoint donde es muy bueno nuestro aprendizaje.

A mis padres les escribo a diario están muy bien, junto con mis hermanos y sobrinos el tener este contacto a diario hace qué nos los extrañe tanto, tengo muy buena relación con mi familia somos muy unidos es maravilloso tener esa hermosa relación con ellos..

Por último quería informarle que hace un mes tenemos nuevos integrantes en nuestro altar Jagannatha, Baladeva y Subhadra estoy muy con tenta y muy ocupada haciendo turbantes, pijama, joyas para todos, ropa de fiesta y así el ser pujari es increíble siempre hay que mejorar como lo dije al comenzar mi reporte pero con las instrucciones de Srila Prabhupada, las de usted gurudev además de de las bendiciones de ambos, mi esfuerzo krishna me dará la inteligencia para saber que hacer.

All glories to Goura Nitay

All glories to Srila Prabhupada.

Dear Gurudev Every day I analyze how to improve my service at home, with LAD, the people, my family, my deities... etc. Although I do my sadhana every day, over the years I have learned to always surpass the quality of my actions and I feel Very happy with my progress,

I continue reading the devotees of Chile and concerned to resolve their doubts in addition to supporting them in whatever they need, reminding them of Ekadasi and greeting them at parties with. A special reading for the festivity, we continue with the distribution of sweets once a week where people are donating from their hearts something for krishna, we read every day, B gita, Srimad Bhagavatam, biography of Srila Prabhupada, CC in addition to being a listener of the courses that LAD does where I remember and learn something new every day. I am in the Pada Padma course doing PowerPoint essays where our learning is very good.

I write to my parents every day, they are very well, along with my brothers and nephews, having this contact every day makes us miss them so much, I have a very good relationship with my family, we are very close, it is wonderful to have that beautiful relationship with them.

Finally, I wanted to inform you that a month ago we have new members on our altar Jagannatha, Baladeva and Subhadra I am very happy and very busy making turbans, pajamas, jewelry for everyone, party clothes and so being a pujari is incredible.

you always have to improve, as I said it at the beginning of my report, but with Srila Prabhupada's instructions, your gurudev's as well as the blessings of both of you, my krishna effort will give me the intelligence to know what to do.

Bid farewell to his servant Raman Reti Devi Dasi

HpS - Thank you from all Blog readers for your nice report!! Thank you.... We have noticed more in the last year, months, that we are making progress every day. We try. We get shot full of arrows by The Evil One, but we go on doing what we can, and... by our little effort and the BIG pull from His Divine Grace. We make eternal progress.

We learn more materially.

We learn more about our Sadana!

Etc.

We need little, little books with stories that we can pass out to people with Prasadam, no? Some kind of story that goes on. Comments on local events. Chosika Voice!

Some pictures of people in Chosika!

Ask the Mayor to organize a different church each Sunday sing songs in front of large Jesus statue.

Have 24-kirtan, spiritual songs playing at his feet. Someone feels bad he can go and sit there and get strength . (Also good for tourism!).

Very nice pictures!! We added a very old one of the Simha dvara entrance.

Hare Krsna, Gurudev, Dandavat pranam at your lotus feet.

ASA - Lettuce feet.

All glories to Srila Prabhupada

Gurudev my realization and reflection is that definitely due to my being part of a established sampradaya , I am sure to succeed.

In my current stage I feel I have done some bhakti so, I might have to take birth again. But I sincerely hope that next birth I won't have the anarthas I have now. I will be born in ISKCON vaishnava family and be blessed with association of devotees from my childhood. This I somehow think might happen.

HpS - Maybe in Nabadvipa with Nimai.

I also feel that maybe by extreme mercy of Radha and Gaura Nitai and yourselves, I might be succeed this life also.

We also!

I have never tried to justify my wrongdoings by philosophizing it. By nature and it's weakness sometimes I fail. But as you said we get up again and try again. I sincerely hope Srimati Radharani will notice that. If not, still I hope to keep trying. Someday my heart will melt and that will attract Sriji Radharani to notice me.

I am chanting my 16 rounds and following the 4 regs . Mangal aarti also somedays .

I also started going to a nearby narasimha temple and sing harinaam everyday evening for 40mins loudly . No one joins but still this loud harinaam kind of gives me enthusiasm to follow.

Some one must notice!

I hope to continue it. Please bless that I can keep doing it. I feel this is better than going to ritwik temple for me now. End goal is to chant harinaam . And here I can loudly chant my heart out. I am attaching the pic of the deity there.

thankyou Srila Gurudev

Please keep your blessings on me.

HpS - Super!!!!! You are a Brahmana. Dhrda vrata. Yet, you should look toward being a part of an ISKCON community comesurate to your nature. Don your flying goggle and take off for the fight with the Flying Circus.

Now we work on our BOEX investigation.

Join Radha Natabara Friday program.

Will Tweet YouTube link.

Thank you!!!!! Best of luck in Sankirtan for Lord Nrsmhadeva.

Hare Krishna Dear Guru Maharaj

Please accept my humble obeisances

All glories to you

All glories to Srila Prabhupada

Guru Maharaj hope you are doing well. I am chanting my 16 rounds and doing my gayatri but due to health conditions i have miserably failed to do my daily sadhana and i am trying to catch up. Please help me Maharaja.

HpS - Hare Krsna!!!

Your association for 5 days in RadB

rakund were very very amazing and acted like a power booster through which we were able to survive. Willing to see you soon Maharaj.

HpS - We are seeing each other now!!! Every push forward, no matter how small, in Bhakti-yoga is eternal. You will learn by being rewarded and bounced what are the priorities in Sadhana-bhakti (Vaidhi bhakti). You will. You will. Then you will

B

U

I

L

D !!! Habits that you will take even into your next life.

Life was miserable couple of months before with lots of ups and downs due to which i was not able to give you updates about my Sadhana. Please forgive me Maharaj.

HpS/ASA - Ooof. We all missed your reports.

I have learned a very big lesson after coming to India, that without temple service and devotee association its hard to survive and continue doing daily sadhana.

I have been begging to Kalachandji to call me back to Dallas and engage me in His service.

Here in India it is very difficult to practice bhakti since there is no temple service nor devotee association.

It has become a habit of going to the temple and doing service since 4 years. By your mercy we got lots of services from last one and half year since we were second initiated.

Kalachandji is very very merciful [and handsome!]. Without temple services its very frustrating and empty Guru Maharaj.

HpS/ASA - Our lives are like dancing on the heads of Kaliya as he tries to bite Krsna. You have to juggle responsibilities for your body, family, society, Church etc. Ooof. Daily dose of Hari nama Japa and constant chanting, and in Kali yuga we can dance on Kaliya's heads with no mortal bites, and even help Krsna subdue this evil one.

!HK/HK!

We went to Tirupati for 2 days

and we were able to take darshan of Lord Balaji

very closely [!].

I went to Tirupati after 20 years.

It was very nice Maharaj [Well being in India is not ALL bad!].

We also went to Varadaraja Perumal temple.

The deity their is exact carbon copy of Kalachandji.. with such a big and welcoming smile.

We are going back to Dallas on 18th [of May?] and then will take things from there and plan accordingly.

By your mercy hopefully Kalachandji will engage us in His services and I will be able to assist you in His services.

Please engage me in your services Guru Maharaj and give us your blessings always… we are in need of it very much. Your blessings are the biggest strength for us.

Yours Humble Servant

Divya Sri Devi Dasi

ASA - Hey, how are your father, mother, brothers, sisters, cousins, nephews, grandparents, in-laws.

Encourage them to get up early and get their rounds done.

"Hare Krishna Maharaj Ji 

Your question made me think. I apologize for late reply. I think by nature we look for easier things acccoustic and visual is easy.

That's why so many friendships are superficial.

My firm belive is that if you are a serious devotee and your heart is regularly cleaned everyday with chanting, including living your life with good principles, we have an access to one more connection.

Connection through the heart.

A devotee can feel and communicate with his or her heart.

That connection, that love, that compassion is so special that you don't need visual or acoustic help to have friendship or connection to the devotee. 

I don't know if I am making sense or not. Forgive me

Jai Prabhupada"

🙏🙏🙏🙏

HpS/ASA - Hare Krsna. Thank you for your text message. Posting here in Blog because ten more people might benefit, also

we will be able to express our thoughts on the matter 9-less times. 🙂

Our thought would be that in the beginning our hearts may be very hard, even stonelike.

We may see everyone and everything for our gratification.

Even if our gratification is to be praised by others for our "charity" and "humanism".

So, we can't communicate heart to heart, or Buddhi to Buddhi, Bhava to Bhana, spiritual intelligence to spiritual intelligence.

So, Krsna and Guru come in front of our eyes and ears, and smile, chant, dance with such potency that it can reach our dull heart and change it.

As we become purified, softened at heart, become Goswami, then (BG 10.12-13) we can associate with other soft hearted people, saints, but it will always be possible, like in Caitanya-caritamrta through the purified senses also.

O.K??

Hare Krsna querido Gurudeva, por favor perdona mis ofensas y acepta mis humildes y respetuosas reverencias

Nosotros sabemos teóricamente que un devoto como Usted está prácticamente en el mundo espiritual y protegido siempre por el mismo Señor, pero nuestra falta de fé hace que nos preocupemos siempre por su cuerpo... Y en nuestra Puja diaria oramos a Nrshimhadeva por su protección... 

HpS - AgtSP. We pray to Krsna every day to reduce how much we abuse our body. We struggle inch by inch to offer proper Bhoga to Lord Nrsmhadeva so that our Body will be satisfied by honoring the remnants. We try to hear from the Parampara and not mundane tidings of the flickering world.

Nosotros estamos bien, hemos estado sirviendo a los devotos y a Sus Señorías JBS, GN, Govardhan y a nuestros KB y G, aquí en Río por cuatro meses.

HpS - Rio de Janero?

Ahora estamos partiendo por un tiempo a Minas Gerais, un estado de Brasil a cinco horas de Río de Janeiro [Aaah!].

El lugar se llama "El canto del Papagayo", llegando vamos a averiguar porque el nombre.

ASA - Gracias!

Dicen que es un lugar paradisíaco, proyecto con visión de establecer una comunidad rural - eco - turistica cómo ofrenda a Srila Prabhupada al servicio de Iskcon de una mataji de aquí de Brasil... No tenemos mayor información por ahora, nosotros estaremos un tiempo allá y quizás volvamos a Río después de un tiempo... Este mundo es muy cambiante.

ASA - 1) Quien soy, 2) Quien Somos, 3) Cual es la plan, 4) Que parafernalia necesitamos.

Hemos intentado resumir todo lo que quisiéramos contarle acerca de lo que regularmente hacemos, pero no queremos robarle mucho de su valioso tiempo...

Voy a mandarle un apéndice.

Por favor perdóneme por ser incapaz de ganar su misericordia...

Su tonto aspirante a sirviente AmD.

HpS - Super. ===:>> Proxima carta!

Hare Krsna dear Gurudeva, please forgive my offenses and accept my humble and respectful obeisances.

 We know theoretically that a devotee like you is practically in the spiritual world and always protected by the same Lord, but our lack of faith makes us always worry about your body... And in our daily Puja we pray to Nrshimhadeva for his protection. ..

 We are fine, we have been serving the devotees and Their Lordships JBS, GN, Govardhan and our KB and G here in Rio for four months.

 Now we are leaving for a while in Minas Gerais, a Brazilian state five hours from Rio de Janeiro.

 The place is called "El canto del Papagayo", arriving we will find out why the name. They say it is a paradisiacal place, a project with a vision of establishing a rural-eco-tourist community as an offering to Srila Prabhupada at the service of Iskcon from a mataji from here in Brazil... We do not have more information for now, we will be there for a while and maybe we will return to Rio after a while... This world is very changeable.

 We've tried to summarize everything we'd like to tell you about what we regularly do, but we don't want to take up too much of your precious time...

 I'm going to send you an addendum.

 Please forgive me for being unable to win mercy from him...

 Your foolish would-be servant AmD

Hare Krishna Gurudeva

HpS - AgtSP! "Gurudeva", hmmm? ❓I can function as Patha-pradarsika siksa guru, giving advice to get back to platform of initiated disciple of Srila Prabhupada! Doing 16-nice rounds and following 4-principles strictly?

Please accept my obeisances

All glories to Srila Prabhupada.

Gurudeva, I want to apologize to you (again) and to my godbrothers, as several of them have been affected by some letters that I have sent to the blog. Recently one of them let me know of his annoyance.

HpS - Oooh? What annoyed him? Your letters didn't seem more annoying than our prayers to Srila Prabhupada?

I have not written with the aim of generating conflict or discord. This is simply due to my clumsiness, lack of intelligence, and my misinterpretation of your instructions.

For example, I interpreted that you wanted to give me a second initiation, how I also misinterpreted your instructions on administrative matters, etc.

Another thing that has happened to me is that I take your jokes as if these words were serious or as if they were instructions.

HpS - Yes, that happens sometimes. We will try to be more literal, but it is hard for us. Nitai-gaura-sundara Das' father, big Hindi scholar, wrote an epic poem about Hanuman, 'Sancar-mochat'. He said that it would be hard for us to keep from jumping around physically and mentally if Guru gave us a name following Hanuman. He was a monkey, always jumping and joking.

My stupidity has not allowed me to discern, I keep making mistakes, since I am a conditioned soul.

However, my desire is to serve, there is no other intention, of that I am sure.

your servant

Piyari Mohan das

PS: In the last letter (https://monkeywarrior.com/detail/13972/)

You told me the following:

So, you must learn how to engage your body, words and mind in Krsna's service. Direct experiments with Yoga might be a natural part of your work, just as Anandamaya Devi Dasi or Jaya-prema Devi Dasi in their letters might be involved with children and mothers or aunts.

my question is:

Do you mean that I should experiment with Yoga in the sense that I should practice Hatha Yoga exercises?

HpS - Get advice from local devotees, Brahmanas, and then you might experiment with all aspects of Patanjali's yoga: Asana, Pranayama, Meditation in terms of using your propensities in Rupa Goswami's yoga.

It is a personal tendency, not for the Temple so much, but for dovetailing our passions with Bhakti-yoga.

I hope you can make retribution for offenses to Vaisnavas, get situated so that they don't occur again, and seems that first initiation may be enough, safe postion, to become a pure devotee.

Thank you.

Now we prepare for local FES (Full Evening Service).
