Pregunta sobre depresión.

2 months, 3 weeks ago by Yulisa Yugala in Personal Sadhana Reports

Hk pamho querido Guru Maharaja, aquí reportándome, regresé muy feliz de un pueblito piadoso de Murcia, me quedé con una devota amiga de Prabhu Karuna, ella suele venir como voluntaria a NVM.

Se separó de su esposo y no se recupera. Es común encontrarme con gente depresiva, mucha gente se acerca a Krsna por temor a la pobreza, por aflicción, etc. Por eso quería saber que nos recomienda, como podemos ayudar a esas personas, como ellas pueden sobrepasar esas dualidades, la mayoría sufrimos por condicionamiento material. Todos quieren algo necesitan algo, algunos están más locos que otros, frustrados, todo esto hace que descuiden sus prácticas espirituales, merme su fe, muchos caen en inacción.

Le mando unas fotos como reporte de mi servicio en NVM. Y algunas del evento, muy poca gente, faltó publicidad efectiva, algunos creían que venía de India. Recordando Su espíritu, pensé que, aunque sólo hubiera una persona, me esforzaría igual que si fueran 100. Fue una bonita experiencia.

Gracias a sus bendiciones y la venía de Krsna, aunque estamos en cero, sin un plan trazado, espero pronto tenerle un reporte con el que espero aportar en España al Movimiento de sankirtan de Lord Caitanya.

Su humilde sirviente:

Yugala Kisora Dasi (El león blanco de Brihuega)

Hello, dear Guru Maharaja, reporting here,


HpS/ASA - Jaya!! AgtSP. Paoho.


I returned very happily from a pious little town in Murcia. I stayed with a devoted friend of Prabhu Karuna. She often comes to NVM as a volunteer.


She separated from her husband and hasn't recovered.

It's common to encounter depressed people.


Many people turn to Krishna out of fear of poverty, affliction, etc. That's why I wanted to know your recommendations,

how we can help these people,

how they can overcome these dualities.


Most of us suffer from material conditioning. Everyone wants something, needs something, some are crazier than others, frustrated. All of this causes them to neglect their spiritual practices, diminishes their faith, and many fall into inaction.


I'm sending you some photos as a report of my service at NVM. And some from the event.

Very few people,

there was a lack of effective publicity,

and some thought I was coming from India.


Remembering His spirit, I thought that even if there were only one person, I would make the same effort as if there were 100. It was a wonderful experience.


Thanks to your blessings and Krishna's blessing, although we are at zero, without a plan in place, I hope to soon have a report with you with which I hope to contribute to Lord Caitanya's sankirtan movement in Spain.


Your humble servant,


Yugala Kisora ​​Dasi (The White Lion of Brihuega)



HpS - AgtSP. We cannot say much about depression. I guess the best Sanskrit word is Shoka. Lamentation. That is described as Arjuna's state at the start of the Bhagavad Gita, through out the Gita, and in the end Krsna says, surrender unto me and you will not Shocati. Lament.


Brahma bhuta prsanatma...


I see, many times, my mind is falling into lamentation, because my stomach is upset. Of course, it could also be our even lower chakra.


Then, if I give my stomach some Prasadam, it is "happy".

Not enough rest.

Checking with our face to see if it is "smiling, happy" or "frowning, depressed".

Just a bodily reaction. Of course a spouse can be viewed as a complex physical, psycho-social machine for complex bodily gratification.


Hare Krsna!!!

HARE KRSNA!!!!!!!


If we want to lament, develop complicated systems of lamentation:

  • He said this. They said that.
  • He doesn't understand me.
  • I am a monster.
  • No one can love me.
  • I will smoke opium, tobacco, marijuana... shoe-polish and die. Sleep.


Then Krsna can't do much to stop us. We want enjoy elation, we want to enjoy depression.


Yet, Krsna is more kind than just, so even if we want to be depressed, then He still tries to tickle our funny bone...

Make us laugh.

Send a friend.

Send some courage.


You don't have to chose to be a victim.

Look at any depressing situation with a service attitude and then you can develop enthusiasm.

Eg. My boss is a moron, neurotic. Always verbally abusing me and others.


How can I help him?


What abuse is really deserved and good for me!

What abuse is just part of his insane view of reality based upon his childhood.

How can I listen to what he is saying and help him with his problem?

At least a little bit, today!

If we help from a Krsna conscious platform (BG 700 verses [Just see what a sunny day it it]) SB 18,000 verses... Devahuti's Laments, then every little bit of help will eternally build up.


Not all lamentation is material.

Radha and Her friends are drowning in the ocean of grief because Candravali and Her friends made better cookies for Krsna and the cow herd boys!


Ayi de mi, caramaba. Boo Hoo Hoo! 🐶 😿

(15 year, 8 year old little girls!)


Prahlada is lamenting for all the imbeciles caught in the material world.

Lament for our fall-downs but just for purification. Don't make a mountain out of it. Do something practical to get back up.


So, these are some thoughts.

  • Listen to the lamentation. 🙉
  • Give Krsna practical conscious comments, encouragement. 👷
  • Set a good example. 

O.K.???

TlgaSP! Amado Gurudev,


por favor acepte mis reverencias y permítame ser perdonada por los años en que estuve alejada de su corazón y de la gratitud incondicional de Srila Prabhupada. Fueron años de mucho ajuste de Karma que con la bendita aparición de mi hijita, maya disminuyó su gran influencia y la conciencia volvió a recordar la verdad eterna. Agradecida de las Vaisnavis que siempre estuvieron presentes y de usted amado Guruji por su infinita tolerancia, paciencia y compasión. Siempre, aún en mi más baja oscuridad, recordaba su dulce amabilidad. Y en ésta Vyasa Puja agradezco la oportunidad de poder escribirle y tener su misericordiosa atención. Deseo que usted mejore su salud y se sienta muy bien (reconozco el gran egoísmo de mi parte en esta petición). Sueño con poder verlo y compartir con usted como antes, está vez junto a mi dulce hijita. 


Feliz cumpleaños mi muy querido Maestro Espiritual. Que el Glorioso y protector Nrsimha Deva lo siga cuidando. 


Con mucho amor y respeto,

Ekangi DD

TlgaSP! Beloved Gurudev,


Please accept my obeisances and allow me to be forgiven for the years I was separated from your heart and from Srila Prabhupada's unconditional gratitude.


HpS/ASA - Speaking quite esoterically, agtSP, we really thought about your esteemed self often, hoping the best for you as you wandered in the world or Shakespeare and Don Quixote. Monkey was pretty sure you would come back up: She's too mean to drown! 🐒


They were years of great karma adjustment, but with the blessed appearance of my little daughter, maya diminished its great influence and my consciousness once again remembered the eternal truth.


I am grateful to the Vaishnavis who were always present and to you, beloved Guruji, for your infinite tolerance, patience, and compassion. Always, even in my deepest darkness, I remembered your sweet kindness. And in this Vyasa Puja, I am grateful for the opportunity to write to you and have your merciful attention.


I hope your health improves and that you feel very well (I recognize the great selfishness on my part in this request).


HpS/ASA - Should we all just pray to rot and die as soon as possible so that we can get back to our real life and responsibilities in Nabadvipa?? 😟 of course, if Gauranga wants us here, then O.K.!!


I dream of being able to see you and share with you as before, this time with my sweet little daughter.


ASA🐖 - little piggys are really the cutest!


Happy birthday, my very dear Spiritual Master. May the glorious and protective Nrsimha Deva continue to watch over him.


With much love and respect,


Ekangi DD


HpS - Thank you so much.

Practice loving sense objects in this world as replicas of Goloka, but chant nice rounds etc to see the REAL form of our associates.

Today I sent another letter to Dr. Samaresh Bandyobadhyay; I await his reply. Right now I'm hard at work, designing two medical books for Primary Health Care. The author studied medicine at San Marcos and Harvard. She is a believer, intelligent, and pious.


She may be elected dean of the Faculty of Medicine, which would allow us to try to introduce Krishna consciousness to that important faculty.


Gurudeva, besides practicing and preaching yuga-dharma, is there anything I can do for you now? I'm attentive.


Thank you for remembering your insignificant disciple. JAY SRI RAMA!!!!


HpS/ASA

Hare Krsna/Hare Rama.

So very, very nice to hear from you.

Such good news.


How do you find the new WhatsApp Community? 🐵 🐷 🗿


Thank you so, so much for joining the FMS at GoToMeeting.com 382 688 053.

So Much.


[we think of running away to lima, santiago, bsas at times.] 🛫

quarterly report

3 months, 2 weeks ago by Nadiya Nivasi Dasi in Personal Sadhana Reports

Hare Krishna, dear Gurudev, please accept my respectful obeisances.


This is Nadiya N D, reporting after a long time.


HpS/ASA - Better, agtSP, late than never!!!!!!


I want to inform you about what I'm doing in my spiritual life. I wake up between 5 and 6 am and start cooking for my household deities. I offer fruit and vegetable extract, nuts, a subji, brown rice, chapatis, vegetable salad, chopped fresh fruit, and water.


ASA - A feast.


In the evenings, I prepare some snacks for my deities, samosa, pakoras, cookies, cakes, etc.


I have eliminated all refined foods like sugar, salt, and oil from my diet, and I prefer to cook everything at home.


I also do hatha yoga, a little dancing, and drink plenty of water.


Resuming the reading of the Bhagavatam, Canto 4, chapter 1. 14.


I'm studying English five times a week.


My family is doing very well; I have a very good relationship with my father and brother.


In the evenings, I chant 16 rounds, following the four principles, fasting for Ekadasi and festivals, and bathing my deities once a week. I have a devotee association and regularly visit an ISKCON temple.


That's all, gurudeva. May you have a beautiful Gaura Purnima.


May the merciful Caytania Mahaprabhu bless me so that I can continue chanting rounds, engaging in seva, and having the association of devotees.


Atte.

Nadiya Nivasi Dasi.


HpS/ASA - Very nice. So, many other things will develop from this basis. Hope to hear of your association more. Where you are etc.


Your pictures are so nice!

We added three at the end.

You seem to be recovered from so much pain??!!!

Hare Krsna beloved Gurudeva:


AGTSP, PAMHO


I hope this meets you well.


I had problems with the gotomeeting app. My phone couldn't update it, that's why I haven't been connected to the FMS. I think it's also due to the fact that Mercury is retrograding


I'm also still a little sad about the whole situation of ISKCON Peru. This is my own Kuruksetra


Last Saturday Palika, P Caturatma, Patraka and Jambavan came to visit me for my birthday...

It was a very nice meeting, their association keeps me enthusiastic


Regarding the WhatsApp group, we already shared our ideas along with Parasurama in our WhatsApp group. The decision is always yours. Whatever is offered, we are here to help.


HpS - Thank you for the news. Association. How is your Sister. Other biological family. 🌴?

We really feel like we are moving to a new platform in life.

You can see the Notice in the other message in this Blog from Steve Brown about setting up a Whatsapp Community.

Let us see how it works.

In this phase, hanuman is no longer looking for Sita, Kali-yuga, in his big form. He is dreaming.

So, we take that as our participation in many ways.

Draupadi was not satisfied with ISKCON Hastinapura either. She wanted Yuddhisthira to rise up a fight.

So did Bhima and Arjuna.

They were only restrained by Yuddhisthira's adhesion to Dharma.

When Yuddhisthira was satisfied that they had followe Dharma to the limit, then he was willing to fight, but he knew and the others finally realized, that the solution was not going to be deep felt satisfaction of revenge.

So what is awaiting ISKCON Peru for "the Pandavas and Draupadi"?


4P. 16R ok


HpS/ASA - Super Girl! (How is Super Dog)?


Rama Navami is coming ¡¡¡ Please your blessings so I can have the opportunity to take darshan from SIta Rama Laksman Hanuman


HpS - Hare Krsna! Hare RAMA! Share you darshana here. Hope it is a great festival. Hope we are invited to attend.


Our job is ok but a little bit demanding


We are paying attention to your calendar I hope to be able to visit soon


Trying to be your disciple

CMDD


HpS - Yeah. If not in Nabadvipa in our next bodies, then maybe around Janmastami, Radhastami???????


One more letter then Snooze? 9. 36PM now. Hope CCD et al still with us!!
