Hare Krishna Gurudev!!

Toda gloria a Srila Prabhupada!!

Por favor acepte mis humildes reverencias!!


Querido Gurudev, en relación es está según entiendo propuesta

HpS - Thank you. More news of our Sankirtan soon and then maybe you will see some help you can give!!


Cuente con migo, y lo seguimos hablando..


HpS - I think I am not advancing but then I think about my Lord Nrsmha deva getting lost on the airplane of something and the thought is devastating. We don't realize how attached, much love we have for the Holy Names, dieties until they go away!

Does your heart begin to melt? Even a little bit?


Si, cambia mi día , si atiendo bien a mis Deidades, y cuando no puedo siento su Ausencia.


Ahora estoy visitando a mis padres en el Sur, y después volvemos a Mar del Plata.

Estamos bien en los cuatro principios y las 16 rondas,

Por Su gracias hemos obtenido siertas realizaciones que confirman lo que dicen las escrituras, que muchas veces solo las repetimos, pero ya no tenemos dudas, producto de la confusión de Kali.


Seguimos con el Curso de Electricidad.


Pregunta.

Por qué cuando bañamos a las salagram Shilas, e invocamos a los Ríos Sagrados no se invoca el Río Gandaki, del cual las Salagram Shilas son originarias.


A Su Servicio Adi Yajña Das


Hare Krishna Gurudev!!

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

Dear Gurudev, in relation is as I understand proposalHpS - Thank you. More news of our Sankirtan soon and then maybe you will see some help you can give!!

Count on me, and we'll keep talking about it..

HpS - I think I am not advancing but then I think about my Lord Nrsmha deva getting lost on the airplane of something and the thought is devastating. We don't realize how attached, much love we have for the Holy Names, dieties until they go away!

Does your heart begin to melt? Even a little bit?

Yes, it changes my day, if I attend well to my Deities, and when I cannot feel their Absence.


Now I am visiting my parents in the South, and then we return to Mar del Plata.

 We are good in the four principles and the 16 rounds, By His grace we have obtained certain realizations that confirm what the scriptures say, that many times we only repeat them, but we no longer have doubts, product of Kali's confusion.

We continue with the Electricity Course.

Ask. Why when we bathe the Salagram Shilas, and invoke the Sacred Rivers, the Gandaki River, from which the Salagram Shilas originate, is not invoked.

At Your Service Adi Yajna Das


HpS - Very good question. It is a general Mantra to invoke sacred rivers for service of all Deities, not just Saligram. Maybe that is partially why.

We see very selfish, strong demoniac attitudes coming out of our heart as we advance in devotional service, no? Guess that is a sign that we are advancing. We are getting to the deep desires and then again and again and again we must chose to abandon them and chant Hare Krsna or just continue as egoistic deomons.

Hare Krsna Guru Maharaja

My obeisances at your lotus feet.

All glories to Srila Prabhupada and all glories to you.


Here Deva-Vrata das from Córdoba Argentina.


I hope as always that you are in good health and in all aspects.


HpS - 74-year old body! Eyes etc failing. Intelligence increasing?


Reporting...

Here continuing with my humble sankirtan, distributing the mercy that Srila Prabhupada gives in his books.



In May I was able to distribute 159 books and 8 Bhagavad Gita.


ASA - 159!


It is insignificant, but preaching and going out with books keeps me alive and I feel useful in life.


ASA - Super, super, super. Every student of Nimai feels the same way: How can I do Sankirtan? Even a dog can take part and dance in ecstacy. What can I do?


Gurudev, I can really realize how insignificant I am...


HpS - You are very advanced!


Recently, I discovered on the YouTube channel of ASA Audiovisual a book by your disciple Jambavati dd called "Cada Oso has Its Dance -Autobiography of a Yogini" that inspired me a lot in sankirtan and made me see how great you and How much service have many of your disciples done...


HpS - Just hearing her name we feel strong emotion! She has got so much mercy. If you can meet her and get some association from her it will be wonderful.


To you and to them I want to give my humble obeisances.


Sometimes when I see all the service you do I don't want to bother you with my things, but I say to myself how can I have a personal relationship with my Guru if I don't communicate with him and raise my concerns?


TB/BW - You can also talk with us, Monkey and Piggy!


I am at a point in my life where the only thing that keeps me going is Srila Prabhupada's promise in his books that if we follow the path of Krsna consciousness, we will return to Krsna.


HpS - We will see rapid progress!


I perform my Sadhana to the best of my ability. But my material life is quite insipid. I don't find much motivation in material life itself.


HpS - How can we??? It is a two dimensional movie of a three (plus) dimensional relaity! Of course, as we advance we see that "material" life is also real, like the work of the hospital is also real life.


I don't know how long I can stay fixed in spiritual life, how long my feeble faith in Krsna can stay, when sometimes I feel so dissatisfied with my life in general.


I read a lot of Srila Prabhupada's books. I eagerly seek explanations to the enigmas of life, to apply them to my life. I want to find answers.


I started reading the Bhagavad Gita again, in detail, word by word. I want to untangle this constant dissatisfaction in my life that has haunted me since I was a child.

And also Srimad Bhagavatam.


My service is of low quality. I am always waiting for recognition. And when they don't give it to me, I suffer.


I wanted to ask you, how can we not be constantly waiting for recognition from others? It is a state that keeps me in anxiety... I would like to act for Krsna regardless of whether others see me or not...


ASA - We remember a nice instruction from the Bible: When you do your fasts and religious austerities, do not go out in public with a long face to show what you are doing.

Do your austerities alone in your closet, in private, and the Supreme Lord who sees all things in private, will reward you in private.


On the other hand it is not wrong to see that we are making the devotees happy! They are good windows to Krsna, no?


Be enthusiastic to ask questions. Solve problems, but be enthusiastic to be patient also, or your enthusiams will turn into passion!! 🎉


Thank you for everything Gurudev.

I am very, very, very fortunate that you have given me this opportunity to accept me as your disciple. When I see your face I am filled with joy and reverence.


HpS - Don't mistake the mailman for the letter writer! AgtSP!!! Maybe we have done a

little

to help Srila Prabhupada.

Your association. All ISKCON, ASA, members is essential.

Will we meet each other again taking birth in Nabadvipa with a very unusual neighbor


Since I met you in 2017 in Chile, I was able to understand how great and pure you are, and how insignificant and impure I am.

I hope I can do something useful for you one day.


Hare Krishna!

Hare Krsna Guru Maharaja


Mis reverencias a tus pies de loto


Todas las glorias a Srila Prabhupada y todas las glorias a ti.




Aquí Deva-Vrata das de Córdoba Argentina.


 


 Espero como siempre que estés bien de salud y en todos los aspectos.


 


Reportandome y revelando la mente.


 Acá siguiendo con mi humilde sankirtan, distribuyendo la misericordia que da Srila Prabhupada en sus libros. 


 En mayo pude distribuir 159 libros entre grandes y pequeños y 8 Bhagavad Gita. 


 Es insignificante, pero la prédica y salir con los libros a la calle me mantiene vivo y me siento útil en la vida.


 


 Gurudev, puedo darme cuenta realmente cuan insignificante soy... 


 Hace poco, descubrí en el canal de youtube de ASA Audiovisual un libro de tu discípula Jambavati dd que se llama “Cada Oso tiene Su Danza -Autobiografía de una Yogini” que me inspiró mucho en el sankirtan y me hizo ver cuán grande eres tu y cuánto servicio han hecho muchos de tus discípulos…


 A ti y a ellos quiero darles mis humildes reverencias.


 


 A veces cuando veo todo el servicio que haces no quiero molestarte con mis cosas, pero me digo a mi mismo ¿cómo puedo tener una relación personal con mi Guru si no me comunico con él y le planteo mis inquietudes?


Estoy en un momento de mi vida donde lo único que me mantiene en pie es la promesa que Srila Prabhupada hace en sus libros, de que si seguimos el sendero de conciencia de Krsna, volveremos con Krsna.

Cumplo con mi sadhana lo mejor que puedo. Pero mi vida material es bastante insípida. No encuentro mucha motivación en la vida material en sí...

No sé cuanto tiempo puedo mantenerme fijo en la vida espiritual, cuánto puede mantenerse mi endeble fe en Krsna, cuando a veces me siento tan inconforme con mi vida en general.

Leo bastante los libros de Srila Prabhupada. Busco ávidamente explicaciones a los enigmas de la vida, para aplicarlas a mi vida. Quiero encontrar respuestas.

Comencé nuevamente a leer el Bhagavad Gita, detalladamente, palabra por palabra. Quiero desenredar esta insatisfacción constante en mi vida que me persigue desde que era niño.

Y también el Srimad Bhagavatam.


Mi servicio es de baja calidad. Siempre estoy esperando que me den reconocimiento. Y cuando no me lo dan, sufro.

Quería preguntarte ¿cómo podemos hacer para no estar constantemente esperando reconocimiento de los demás? Es un estado que me mantiene en ansiedad... Quisiera actuar para Krsna sin importar si los otros me ven o no…


Gracias por todo Gurudev.

Tengo mucha, mucha, mucha, fortuna de que me hayas dado esta oportunidad de aceptarme como tu discípulo. Cuando veo tu rostro me lleno de alegría y reverencia.

Desde que te conocí en 2017 en Chile, que pude entender lo grande y puro que eres, y lo insignificante e impuro que soy.

Espero poder hacer algo útil por ti algún día.


Hare Krishna!

[PC-Oink] - Vuelo del ave.

2 years, 9 months ago by YugalaKD in Personal Sadhana Reports

HK, pamho querido Guru maharaja, pedimos su sus bendiciones estoy partiendo del asram, traté de complacerlo al quedarme después de su partida, sé que ese era su deseo para mí, pero no todos comparten el mismo deseo. Mi presencia en el asram por más de 20 años ha sido para servir a Sus Señorías, pacíficamente y muy entusiasta. No he amenazado a nadie, como dicen las malas lenguas, ni quiero, ni tengo tiempo. Trabajo con niños, es una bendición, ellos son geniales. Yo estoy a full en mi trabajo, tratando de equilibrar practicas espirituales y profesora eficiente. El poco tiempo que me queda libre deseo emplearlo en lectura del sastra, estudio para poder seguir predicando. Continuó haciendo servicio con devotos de harinama en Lima una vez por semana. “Aves del mismo plumaje vuelan juntas y en bandadas”, como le conté el líder de ese programa es un caballero. Pido sus bendiciones para poder seguir sirviendo a la misión de predica, si un día, Prabhupada desea que distribuya libros, lo hice, si desea que sirva como pujari, lo hice, si desea que enseñe, lo hago. Por favor sus bendiciones Gurudeva, en el área de enseñanza me siento a gusto. También continúo sirviendo con Gandharva en área administrativa educativa.

Esas son las novedades. Tratando de aplicar en nuestra vida las enseñanzas de Mahaprabhu, por ese esfuerzo sincero aunque insignificante, caen muchas bendiciones siempre, estoy muy agradecida y me voy en paz.

Su hija que lo adora:

Yugala Kishora Dasi.

HK, pamho

dear Guru maharaja,

we ask for your blessings I am leaving the asram,

I tried to please you by staying after your departure, I know that was your wish for me,


HpS - ASA -- Hare Krsna, YkD. Thank you for your letter. Actually, no. We did not especially wish that you stay in the B'carini ashrama in Chosica. If it was possible, then that is very good. Very good. Maybe good for you, and also you could give your help to build a nice Temple Ashrama for ladies.

Yet, one can be a B'cari, B'carinia, and not live in a Temple ashrama. One can share accomodations with other single ladies and some Grhastha family.

Secondary consideration. Primary is how we can be occupied in the Sankirtan of Lord Caitanya!


... but not everyone shares the same wish. My presence in the Asram for more than 20 years has been to serve the Lordships of him, peacefully and very enthusiastically. I have not threatened anyone, as gossips say, nor do I want to, nor do I have time.


I work with children, it is a blessing, they are great. I am full in my work, trying to balance spiritual practices and an efficient teacher.


The little free time I have left I want to use in reading the sastra, I study so that I can continue preaching. He continued to do service with Harinama devotees in Lima once a week.

“Birds of the same plumage fly together and in flocks”, as I told you, the leader of that program is a gentleman.


I ask his blessings to be able to continue serving the preaching mission, if one day, Prabhupada wants me to distribute books, I did, if he wants me to serve as a pujari, I did, if he wants me to teach, I do.


Please blessings from him Gurudeva, in the area of ​​teaching I feel comfortable. I also continue to serve with Gandharva in educational administration.


HpS - As far as I know that is also and area where devotees in Peru are trying to adjust there administrative relations, but as Brahmanas we can always associate with other devotees and do very nice things without much administative complexity, and work to expand things into wonderful efficient instritutional programs! Srila Prabhupada wants us to learn this, no? How to be Brahmanas AND Ksatriyas.


Those are the news. Trying to apply Mahaprabhu's teachings in our life, for that sincere effort, although insignificant, many blessings always fall, I am very grateful and I leave in peace.

His daughter who adores him:

Yugala Kishora Dasi.


HpS - Thank you. Please offer our respects to everyone. Try to be a good Mother to everyone.

Where is your Ashrama accommodation now? See you soon!

[Nrsimha Bhoga]-Realizations from spiritual illness-Trip to Spain

2 years, 9 months ago by bhaktanicasio in Personal Sadhana Reports

Hare Krishna Beloved Gurudeva,


Please accept our humble obeisances,


All Glories to Srila Prabhupada,


!

Here we are at our asrama at Sri Govardhan, Mar del Plata,

Recovering from spiritual illness. We got caught by "gold fever", mode of passion and ignorance, greed, longings. Although we made good profit the price was too expensive!! We weakened our spiritual practice and started to feel depressed! We feel like Dhruva Maharaja before his realization of bhakti. Seeking glass!!


ASA - Gosh! What did you do? Buy shares in a new airplane company?


What we realized:

1) Nothing is worthy unless connected to Krisna!! Hare Krisna mahamantra is the most powerful medicine!!


2) Sangat sanjayate kamah!! Be careful of your Sanga!!


3) Money doesn't solve your emotional problems. Wealth is not money but pure relationships!!


4) Never forget the isavasyam culture! Everybody have their quota. Accept your karma!!


5) People are suffering because they don't know the above. Promoting Krishna Consciousness is the greatest service to humankind!!


6) We must keep endeavoring to take the medicine!! There is no limit for purification!! Chanting, reading, feasting!!

7) Srila Prabh

upada's process works, is scientific and bonafide!! Begging for his mercy!!



We have our tickets to Europe!! All the family to the old continent!!

Madhu and Bhuri are joining Jara Mara's Prabhu program for two weeks. Juli, Marga and I will be in Murcia, Spain, Ramanuja Prabhu invited us to work with Ayurveda. Then all together one week in italy!!


We arrive at Nueva Vraja Mandala july 23rd until 29th. Hope we can meet you there and be of some utility to yourself!!


ASA - Oink!


Thank you Gurudev, you make everything much easier!!

We are big fools, need improvement,

At your service,

Nikunja Bihari das.


HpS - 😁. I think Ambo-Nandi-Vamsi will be traveling about that time.Too. Saca bastant fotos en su viaje. meet nice people en route who are des[ert

Jay Maharaj HK!!

Please accept my obeisances!!

All Glories to Sri Sri Guru and Gauranga!

All Glories to Srila Prabhupada!!


How are you? How's your health doing???


ASA - Just like yours!


Are you still in India?


ASA - Never went? To whom are you rye ting?



Well, this is the first letter I send you after a few months since last time I wrote you. Here many things happened, my child Indiana is 1.5 years old, she's so big and enjoyable, she loves playing and whatching Little Krishna and Bal Ganesh's movies,



the other day on Little Krishna we were watching how mother Yasoda after Krishna killed the bird deamon (I think it was bhakasura), takes his little hands with the palms opened and says "this little hands which are cooler than a lotus flowers killed a deamon?" (or something like that) so after that my daughter put her hands in the same way so I began praising her hands as mother Yasoda did.


She brings so much joy to my life!! Now I keep working every day in my family's company, always performing graphic design tasks, and other stuff. And I'm trying to occupy myself in watching some designers' YouTube channels so I can cultivate myself professionally.


And I decided to continue my computer systems analyst career, I'm starting studying next semester :) With my ex conjugal partner, I tried to fix the relationship but there was no case,


when we were separated she was distant and indifferent, and when finally we decided to retake the relationship we couldn't get along, so well now we're just friends.


HpS - A nice friend is hard to find.


My personal sadhana got better in average, I began waking up earlier in the morning (excepting for weekend when I try to get a little bit more rest), I keep chanting a fixed amount of rounds every day, and I'm still reading Srimad Bhagavatam,

now I'm on canto 2 chapter 5, it's really sooo beautiful,


I'm enjoying a lot Srila Prabhupada's purports and I hope I can read more and more. I keep attending my Gaura Nitai in my home's altar, and offering the bhoga.


I'm buying organic produce here in my city which are really cheap, unluckly I wasn't able to convince the other Yatra's devotees to do the same, how can I make the aware of the benefits of eating healthier?


HpS - Speaking logically and setting a good example, but in the end everyone has free will.


I keep following an ayurvedic diet, trying to eat my dosha's according ingredients and food, and taking account Ayurvedic recommendations. I started following ekadashis again.


I was wondering about some topics Maharaj, I'm sure you can help me out with them: how can I wake up early in the mornings every single day?


HpS - Do you need to? Is it time? Then get a wake up partner. First one up calls the other.


and how to keep myself fixer in my sadhana? how can I clear my mind and become more appreciative about what Krishna has given me? How can I become humbler?


HpS - Hmmmm. Basically you have to really desire to do it. Then you will use your unique intelligence to find ways to advance and Krsna will send good association and little miracles. That is all that I know.



Thank you very much for being there always!

Sincerely,

Federico


HpS 🐵 Do better every breath? ?
