personal life and second intiation-2

Hare Krsna master,


your grace wrote --"


1.

Marriage, family, civil, institutional relations are important but Hari Kirtan is the basis of those in Kali yuga."


can you kindly elaborate on word "basis " ? we can fathom this ..



  1. "hari kirtan" means what here, I think our conception is flawed



our conception of Krsna consciousness changed in your association..

earlier I used to think Krishna means only the deity. But after talking with you, we realised even if somebody is able to appreciate sunshine, we are trying to increase his Krishna consciousness.

so what does "hari kirtan" means in progression ?


3. In general I would say that you should try to have pleasant, civilized contact with your family --

the word "pleasant" is very struggling for self.....



4. "Take the Bhakti sastri course with some one! Ask Temple President for recommended source."


I am not against your recommendation, but just to control our strong/stubborn mind by feeble intelligence, we might need little more help



we are finding solace in krsna book narration for children [the fifth regulative principle] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VOBQQLG_DKI&list=PLvRIsRHyTI9l7gKgOQlnucVWDnv1j-KmL&index=5. somehow we are telling ourself, we are fool or at best intellectual fools[coder],

so hence on Hari nama and Direct Krsna past times.


We were consciously avoiding classes like Isopanishad, Bhagvad gita, SB, primarily because we are not able to apply all this, seems to us at this moment impractical, especially

when we don't know what is that we should "eat" or what should we do in "work", in day to day life.



secondly, we have always overlooked "sadachar" and over emphasized on "sadhana", then "svadhya", not find us to be useful for "most of sangas" and hence not able to do "seva" to any specific. {5s model of GEV}


This was highlighted by our temple president also on 26 feb 2023, and it hurt us the most when words [ not verbatim ] " is this what you have been taught by your Guru". i knew it was my fault only , and your appreciation.


but we are just trying to find to serve and be worthy of called your disciple in anyway

HpS/ASA - Hare Krsna, Hayagriva Avatara Das.

Krishna speaks through the mouth of a horse for some reason. We can't remember why?


Also, he incarnates as H'g'va twice, no?


Your questions cover a large range of topics.


We have come to: Harer nama anukirtanam.


If you don't know what to do, you are not chanting "Hare Krsna".


First regulative principle is to chant HK/HR loud enough to hear it.


Then, if you are not inspired to do anything else, even after a few mantras, then their is nothing else you should be doing, eating, teaching.


May be that any moment Krsna wants us to leave this world, and get to work in another, so we just chant and "die".


=-=-=-=


If family does not want to share your world nor wants you to share theirs, then subject is finished, yet we are always open if they change their mind, mound, mend, mund, mand.


=-=-=-= === Srnvatam sva katha Krsna... SB 1.2 If we chant we become 'punyatma' pious people. Then high class activities eg. Detiy worship, fire sacrifice, meditation (con tem pla tion) are accessible to us one after another.

So nice to chant.

No better service you can offer Krsna.


At the feet of Prabhupada.

Hare Krsna, master, in the service of real Master.

Careful Dandvats, All glories to representative of Krpa Shakti of Lord. The closest lense of transcendental telescope.

Thank you for being transparent.



This poor man has heard from audio vibrations generated from your lips that -- "Sannyas like SB 1.5 of Narada Muni is not practical in today's age.


We always had this conjecture that - " what is practical householder life in today's age" or more importantly what is not practical? we somehow try to imitate the scriptural standards mentioned for householders.


We are asking this again somehow our mind somehow trust you only, I know its great burden on you. So many times we try to stay away from you and be close to your vani,

but that's make us less functional in this world.

Hare Krishna Maharaj,

I just increased the 3GB high speed mobile hotspot data to 15GB. We are now on the unlimited extra data plan which has the 50GB premium data, unlimited text within U.S which we had previously and now unlimited includes Mexico and Canada. Hope that helps🙏


HpSwami/ASA - AgtSP. Paoho. Wonderful, but Nios wants to know if they can contribute to the cost of the service.

Annual Report- Sugopi dd

2 years, 8 months ago by sarita108 in Personal Sadhana Reports

Hare Krishna Guru Maharaj,

Please accept my humblest obeisances. AGTSP.

 I apologize for going some time without reporting to you. I hope your health is better. I’ve been joining the morning classes via ASA facebook page and GoToMeeting when I’m with my mother (Sunita). She’s on almost every meeting. She’s been doing lots of service at the temple and going forth with the local temple president’s recommendation letter. Hopefully you’ll see that soon.


Ive been following your settling in Radha Kund. I am trying to visit Vraj in April (Radha rani willing). I was in Jagganth Puri last month which was unreal. I got to see the rock which melted from Lord Caitanya’s love. I saw his finger indentations in the pillar at Jaganath temple in Puri. It was an amazing experience.

I made a wish at the Bakula tree of Haridas Thakur. I also made wishes at the kalpa vriksha trees in the Jaganth temple….I prayed for a partner to help me on the path of Bhakti. I’ve been praying for years maharaj- I’m now 30 and it’s starting to feel futile. I’ve been looking for years and consulted astrologers who all say there’s nothing hindering my ability to find a husband. I’ve signed up for the devotional matchmakers and websites, but there’s slim pickings and no one I can connect to. My mentors told me to ask you, but I know that’s not really your purview. I pray for your blessings to make this happen- if it’s meant to be. If not- I pray for acceptance.


HpS - AgtSP!! Thank you. Kali yuga! Well maybe you can take birth in Afganisthan and be the Gandhari and marry the oldest son of the Kurus!!

Hmmm. Nope. All your 100-babies will get killed (Squash. Slice. Oooo/Awww ...Argh).


O.K. You be like Mother Saci.

Hmmm .... Also, no. She lost like seven babies before she got Nimai and Visvarupa.


Hmmm..... Sita? Nope (Exiled by Husband). Radha (Nope, boyfriend went to the Big City and never returned)...... Hey what do you want? Hmmm (smile) guess the best use of a bad bargain.


For sure there is a very precise reason for your situation. Very precise, and if you are 16/4 initiated devotee, Radha is personally managing things for you.

What is it?

I don't know, but chanting etc should give you some idea.

Lot more stories in SB, MBharata that give perspective. Maybe Krsna wants to marry you?

O.K.?

Agreeable to that proposition?


Service wise, I’ve been co-instructing gita discissions at the local yoga studio in DC. I’ve also been teaching yoga on weekends. The prasadam food truck is gaining donors and we’re working on getting grants to support the efforts. Chanting has been going…good days and bad days.

I hope I get to see you this year. Praying for your mercy.


Your aspiring servant,

Sugopi dd 


HpS - Jaya!! Are you engaged in the dog-eat-dog business world? Is your boss a dog?

Report, service Manjuali Dd Chile

2 years, 8 months ago by Bhaktina Maria in Personal Sadhana Reports

Hare Krishna, Gurudeva!

Please accept my respectful obeisances

All glories to Srila Prabhupada, all glories to Sankirtan and service to him.

I hope his health is much better.


HpS/ASA - Thank you! Very, very nice to hear from you. Our health is like yours just older. 😀


I want to thank him for his determination, effort in service, perseverance in classes and talks, for always guiding us and showing us devotion to Srila Prabhupada and Krishna. I am an eternal

Grateful to have your association and that of the devotees, I hope to always improve to be a worthy disciple.

I apologize for not writing very often, I have many things to tell you.

✓My sadhana is good, we follow 4P/16R strictly, there are days we don't reach all the

rounds but other days we sing more.


HpS - This is a formal ritual. Like paying your taxes to the government of Chile. If we fall behind in 16-rounds, then we should catch up the second day. Once I was president, head pujari, etc. etc. in big temple and could only do like 12-rounds a day. Finally I told the GBC I just can't do this much and they said, o.k., and made some adjustment. I kept track of how many rounds I was behind and chanted extra rounds each day and caught up.

If I can do anyone can do it.

😂

Krsna wants you to have some many disciples, students.


✓In March of last year I started to study the Bhakti Sastri course, my teacher is Priya

Sakhi dd, she has many good qualities, she is very patient and always concerned in

solve our doubts, P Parasurama AD and P Raga Sindhu D also participate.

months we took the final exam of Bhagavad Gita, I did well, we continue with NDD, NDI and Sri

isopanisad.


HpS - Jaya!!


✓I am going to adore your Lordships Sri Sri Gaura Nitay ISKCON CHILE twice a week,

It has been a fixed service for now, a year and a half.


✓The new administration and president of the temple (Jagad-Guru prabhu) assigned me along with others

three devotees among them (Indulekha also your disciple) participate in the initiation committee,

in which we collect the information and follow up on future initiates. I beg your blessings in this enormous task, I know that without your blessing I am

insignificant. I would very much like to know what you think of this new service that was assigned to me, could you give me some advice on how to perform this service in the best way?


HpS - Seems like a nicely defined service. Do it for some time and see how it goes. Much more to do soon!


On the other hand, I must say that Lalita Madhava Das is a very good husband, he inspires me and

drives daily, I am very happy for him, since he has had to participate in several concerts

with Om bhakti and he is going to do the bhajan programs on Sundays in the temple, it is

a very good service and also we always see it as an offering and good preaching.

Thank you Gurudeva for allowing me to have the good fortune to more intimately serve the

Lord, it is a very big responsibility but I pray to always be attached to the feet of

lotus of Sri Krishna and be a contribution to his Sankirtan.

Excuse me for taking too long

HpS - We had very nice association of Parasurama avatara Das in Spain. All the devotees were very impressed with his upright character and great service attitude. We felt very connected to OUR Chile Yatra and hope to have more connection through our visit to Mexico.
