Better Sanga

3 years, 8 months ago by AKD in Personal Sadhana Reports

Please accept my humble obeisances. All Glory to Sankirtana Movement by Gaur Nitai & All Glory to Srila Prabhupada and his faithful devotees.


ASA - 😁 😁 😁 😁




Dear Gurudeva: How was your travel? no doubt your constant activities in devotional service are very inspiring to continue in this way, (sato vṛtteḥ) the Sankirtan's way. I chant everyday and I like reading Srila prabhupada books, I constantly try to share what I have learned, (dadāti pratigṛhṇāti).

It is very difficult for me to serve others, it is sad to know of devotees who were very enthusiastic, good preachers or pujaris and now have lost their faith, or have left the movement, especially when new people meet them and they are their reference about the devotees.


ASA/Buck White: https://vedabase.io/en/library/sb/4/31/6/ !!!

Pracetas were good devotees, go deviated, but came back. Is a common story, no? So, we have to look for devotees who have deviated but because of their experiences are now ripe to hear the advice of Narada Muni!


Even within ISKCON there is a lot of disunity, it's difficult to be honest and humble, but even there are devotees who do not believe this is essential. I don't stop trying to get a better sādhana, I'm still a very neophyte, although I feel very fortunate to have your tireless effort on this path, you're a great example for me to follow. I'll keep by your grace chanting Hare Krishna and sharing what I learn from the Bhāgavata.

HpS - ASA --- You are getting bigger challenges so you can be a bigger devotee! Maybe you will be Vidura in your next life!!!!

More news as it develops.

Rama Vijaya - Second Initiation

3 years, 8 months ago by sugopiradha in Personal Sadhana Reports

Hare Krishna, Guru Maharaja. Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada.


Since the beginning of this year, I've been contemplating the benefits of taking second initiation. I remember how you often mention in your classes that first initiation is experimental, and that real initiation is second initiation. At the time of second initiation is when Krishna accepts one as similar to Himself.


HpS - Yet, as we understand Srila Prabhupada is commenting that according to Srila Jiva Goswami Hari-nama diksa is sufficient. The second initiation is a formality. A very good formality in most cases.


Guru Maharaja, I wake up at 3:45 AM daily, chant my rounds, do Mangala Arati, and listen to SB and BG classes. I wanted to humbly request for second initiation from you. I received first initiation in 2017 and have seriously kept my vows since then. I think that second initiation will help me achieve a greater degree of purity, cleanliness, and punctuality to serve Krishna.


If you bless me with second initiation, I wish to serve Sri Sri Jagannath, Baladeva, Subhadra, and Gaura Nitai along with my parents, after the grand opening of our temple on October 3rd.


Your servant,


Sugopi Radha Devi dasi


HpS - Sounds fine to us! I think Srila Prabhupada would be very pleased. Brahmana and then a Goswami and then Vrajabasi!

You have taken the disciple course, no?

We would need the blessings of your local association, Mama, Poppa, all the devotees here in the Blog!

A letter of recommendation from the Temple President (Piyari mohana Das).

Yes, Rama vijayotsava would be a great day.

Who will do the fire sacrifice?

Hare Krishna dear Gurudev

All Glory to Srila Prabhupada, Please accept my obeisances

I hope you are well I have seen that you have arrived in Peru, I regret not being able to visit you for the moment, I have been very absorbed with my challenges, just this month I was able to reflect a little more, I was in Rosario and in Buenos Aires in the temple, it was a much needed recharge, ... on the farm in general well, from January to June I was accommodating the Asram, the success was to spend the winter without allergy and heated, I contracted covid at the end of July, it was mild, and I had a vaccine. I have returned to my reading of NOI and finishing the SB for the first time Canto 10 part 4, I got in Portuguese the songs 11 and 12, and I go for Them, my life slow in reading, now I am in Pinamar visiting some Devotees, I will stay a few more days, later I will travel to the South, to visit My Parents. Over 4 starts and 16 rounds fine Mangalartik could be even better, positive mood His disciple, Chitrak Prabhu, has taken me in Service, in live classes on FB for Buenos Aires, and he has been very good for Me. I hope to be able to visit you and serve you at some point, as well as ask you personal questions when you go to live in Radhakunda, even if it was only a short time that I stayed there. Thank you for accepting me as Your Disciple. At Your Service Adi Yajña Das

Espero se encuentre bien he visto que ha llegado a Perú, lamento no poder ir visitarlo por el momento, he estado muy absorto con mis desafíos,recién este mes pude refleccionar un poco más, estube en Rosario y en Buenos Aires en el templo, fue una recarga muy necesaria,...en la finca en general bien, desde Enero a Junio estube acomodando el Asram, el éxito fue pasar el invierno sin Alergia y calefaccionado, yo contraje covid a finales de julio, fue leve, y me di una vacuna. He vuelto a mi lectura de NOI y terminando el SB por primera vez Canto 10 parte 4 conseguí en portugués el canto 11 y12,y voy por Ellos, mi vida lenta en la lectura, ahora me encuentro en Pinamar visitando a unos Devotos, me quedaré algunos días más, después voy a viajar al Sur,de visitas a Mis Padres.

Sobre 4 principios y 16 rondas bien.Mangalartik, podría Ser mejor Aún, Estado anímico positivo

Hare Krsna Maharaj,

PAMHO, AGTSP


We will be short. We want to take initiation from you or your representative. But we also know you may be leave this manifested world, by 2024.


In node:12424, HG grace said .


"what should be Prabhupada perspective on this problem? ,

HpS - Adjust to take first initiation"


This word Adjust for not clear to our head, but to our heart -it means to make up for offences we did towards mother (espousa) of great vaisnava (hijo). [Sane man thinks from heart].


We are contacting multiple teachers to get rectified for our Asrama properly.


We are in university, we dont know how would Krsna and parampara will like to use us. We have to purify ourself, before get used by Krsna . (you said in once lecture: Arjuna was first purified, then used by Krsna).


We deeply desire to be near to Head of State (nation or university). We will be working in that direction as service to SPOG.


But for Asrama, we now need to earn more money, (Laxmi ji comes for service for Vishnu ji).


over and out.

bown down

Horse (waiting to be bridled)


HpS - AgtSP. We really want to be with you in India always.

Srila Prabhupada commented that he thought: First Money then Preaching, but Krsna demanded and got: First Preaching and then Money.


Do you have anything to offer the King of India? Can you increase your offering? Eg developing a realization of the Krsna book. Firmly rejecting Lord Caitanya or accepting after seriously investigating His suggestions.


If you chant 16-nice rounds and follow the 4-rpinciples strictly for one year, having made your home a Temple, you can be initiated.


If you wife and son don't want your life, what can you do?


If the do then learn how to share it.

What are you teaching now?

Hare Krsna Beloved Gurudeva:

AGTSP

PAMHO


The adventure of Sta Eulalia and the movie is just beginning ¡¡¡¡

It was so refreshing to see you again. Thanks for all your mercy, association, insights, gifts, etc


Today I had a very busy day as a professor in 2 universities such a lot of material to be prepared and corrected pffff. I have classes until 10: 30 pm. So I totally agree to your suggestion that I have to work only until 50 years old. That's it ¡¡¡¡


The university insisted that all their professors join an " International Neuropsychology and Education Internship" It is pretty demanding but also very compelling.


As we were discussing about my trip to Houston I am attaching some pictures that maybe you find it useful. I am chatting with Subhra Mataji. She has some suggestions about your next Sri Vyasa Puja, January 3rd 2022. I will go to Sta Eulalia on October 7th. So I hope to have the opportunity to talk to You at least 20 minutes about this topic.


Thanks in advance

See you in FMP

Trying to be your disciple

CMDD


HpS - Thank you for using the FMP, Blog, Priority Code! Today it was "Hawaii". Haw. Haw. Haw. A sinister way to get devotees to join the FMP!.

😈

Haw! Haw! Hare!


Your news is very inspiring for us. We realize that we are small people in this academic atmosphere in many ways, so we are trying to find our way to help others in preaching in the academic atmosphere.

We are just investigating this Sta. Alelelia Ashrama. It is a nice name, nice Sta! So far is very good facility offered by Krsna. Of course a large part of it is to arrange for freedom from pandemic and unknown serial killers by living in a village.

For those who want to enter in the village and live without masks, there needs to be proper health and quarantine, no?

What is that?

Your travel in taxis, not busses, no?

Are they certified safe?

Other wise it is so nice here that we can sit outside in the many nice patios at a safe distance, even without masks, and talk in the swift breezes!


Nueva asoka van, Ki Jai!

Srila Prabhupada's Sankirtan Ki Jai.


The photos are very nice, but need captions, explanations. I guess we can download them.
