HpSwami- AgtSP. Great inspiration for us. Thank you.

Lalita and Visaka will work to get us more and more back to work in Goloka.

Continue with more expertise daily.

Take students.

If have not done post formal report under Report tab above.

Thank you.

Hare Krsna, Guru Maharaja

Please accept my humble obeisances

All glories to Srila Prabhupada.

HpSwami - By his divine grace we can be one step above beasts, no?

I`m finally back to Chile, quite tired and with a lot of heat, but happy and thinking in Krsna, since I stopped to speak with that mataji I started to chant Nrisimha Kavaca and I see him protecting me, I have not stopped my Sadhana and that mantra fits very well with it.

HpSwami - Also, prayers by Prahlada around SB 5.18.12!

Also I started to do sankirtan and I can see that Krsna is helping me with it a lot, now I`m doing almost in the nights (Around 9 to 10 pm) and works very well, the day is not that hot and the people are more open, I usually go to restaurants and similar places, usually people are more open to receive any book or anything if they are eating and relax.

Also I want to ask you if you would like to come to my home to spend just one afternoon with my family and some devotees that could come, not to make any specific program (I mean give any class about topic, etc.) but to just be here and have a nice meal with Jagannatha, Baladeva and Subhadra.

HpS - Like to, but let us make detailed plans and little more in the future!

I`m quite happy also with how life is going, I feel more stable and happy, I don`t feel any rush to go and travel now or get married or anything like that, for now my only concerns are to keep my family happy and serve Krsna in the way that I can.

Also I started to do some seva in the temple and I`m kind of wondering if I could take second initiation, I just wonder if you think is a good idea, I have all the "paper work" needed to take and also I`m quite excited to be able to have a Sila and worship and serve the deities as a pujari I think could be a nice step forward, I heard some of your classes when you speak when is a good time to take second initiation, also I have being following what you have told me to be mostly fix in the mood of goodness and now you are coming so I ask you what do you think?

HpS-Seems nice.

When do you get up regularly?

Can you lead the full morning program, got basic Bhakti sastri education, cook kitri and halavah?

As always I hope your health is good and that your body is not making too many troubles for the age that it has.

Hare Krsna dear Guru Maharaja and see you soon :D

Hare Krishna Dear Maharaja

Please accept my humble obeisances.

All glories to Srila Prabhupada.

Thank you… infinite Thank you

PAMHO

Beyond philosophical speculation and human verbal expression...

 poetry… the one that knows nothing of prose.

The one that is not illuminated by the light

Of any sun

Nor of any shooting star

Its heartbeat is composed...

infinite poetry that never arrives

The one that has never gone

The one that does not hide

The one that hides from sight

The one that returns intact from its destiny

Illuminated and constant… active

Spear of the warrior in its shelter

The sheet that covers the disappeared bodies

That never carries

That change and age

That live dead for having been born

With the brilliant poetry

That knows nothing of prose nor of letters

Nor of so many words that describe and name it

The one reviewed by crows with mirrored plumage

The one in whose bubbles

Millions of universes

Peopled with shadows that it illuminates

Sometimes…

Over anguishes that have no name.

Impeccable swans travel its course

The waves of a transparent pond accumulating

Its passing through the waters… leaves no tracks

They leave its mirror… the clarity of the soul

Accusing the arrival…

The bearers of the Name

Hare Krishna Hare Krishna

Krishna Krishna Hare Hare

Hare Rama Hare Rama

Rama Rama Hare Hare

All glories to Your Feet

ENC das.

HpS - All glories to Your Feet.

Can you read the Krsna book in English with 100% comprehension?

110%?

80%?

Your English is super, super inspiring, for us.

Maybe others post response, comments.

Hare Krishna Querido Maharaja

Por favor acepte mis humildes reverencias.

Todas las glorias a Srila Prabhupada.

¡Gracias… infinitas ¡Gracias ¡

PAMHO

Más allá de la especulación filosófica y la expresión verbal humana

 la poesía… la que no sabe de prosas.

La que no se ilumina con la luz

De ningún sol

Ni de ninguna estrella fugaz

Su latido es compuesto

 poesía infinita que no llega nunca

La que nunca se ha ido

La que no se esconde

La que se oculta a la vista

La que regresa intacta de su destino

Iluminada y constante… activa

Lanza del guerrero en su cobijo

La sabana que cubre los cuerpos desaparecidos

Que nunca lleva

Que cambian y avejentan

Que viven muertos por haber nacido

Con la poesía brillante

Que no sabe de prosas ni de letras

Ni de tantas palabras que la describen y nombran

La que revisan los cuervos de plumaje espejado

La que en sus burbujas se cuentan

Millones de universos

Poblados de sombras que alumbra

A veces…

Sobre las angustias que no tienen nombre.

cisnes impecables transitan su cauce

Acumulándose las olas de un transparente estanque

Su paso por las aguas… no dejan hullas

Dejan su espejo… la claridad del alma

Anunciando la llegada…

Los portadores del Nombre

Todas las Glorias a Srila Prabhupada!!!

Hare Krsna Guru Maharaja, por favor reciba mis humildes y respetuosas reverencias.

En mi carta anterior usted me dice lo siguiente:

HpS - Thank you!!! I think I may have met Maharaja and know him by his Brahmacari name.

Are you going to take Sannyasa? 🙂

Es una pregunta muy complicada de responder, yo diría muy, pero muy complicada de responder, pienso que solo los valientes podrían tomar Sannyasa.

A lo largo del tiempo hubo Sannyasis que no se cayeron y otros si. Uff Dificil. Maya es muy poderosa.

Otro factor es que tienes que tener mucho conocimiento, saber muchos versos de memoria, ser practicamente un erudito, cosas que yo no tengo.

ISKCON y el GBC siempre te observan. Que dificil.

Si tan solo fuera para viajar y hacer sankirtan y armar programas de distribución de libros, sería muy bueno para los valientes devotos que desean Sannyasa.

Tengo 46 años y quiza ya sea hora de morir, pero soy tan cobarde ante la muerte.

La Brahmacarya es más facil, creo yo, al menos no tan complicado.

Tengo muchos deseos y lucho con ellos todos los días.

Es la segunda ves que me preguntas sobre tomar Sannyasi, a veces pienso que es alguna broma tuya Guru Maharaja. Claro lo digo con todo respeto 😊

No se que más decir,,

HpS - We just checked and sixteen devotees have filed Reports. Considering our incompetence that is nice. If we only have sixteen disciples to serve following Srila Prabhupada in Disciplic succession we might be able to do the job properly.

Thank you so much.

More News of your developing Sadhana and Sankirtan as it develops.

Mi Sadhana marcha muy bien, me levanto a las 4 am, Mangal artik 5 y 30 am conectandome con usted Guru Maharaja, canto 16 rondas de Japa y algo más, sigo los 4 principios regulativos, estudiando el Bhakti Vaibhava con Prabhu Laksmana Agraha. Atendiendo a mis Salagrama Silas.

¿Guru Maharaja para usted fue facil tomar Sannyasi?

Bueno Guru Maharaja me despido y que el Señor Nrsimha lo proteja siempre.

Gadai Gauranga Das

HpSwami - AgtSP.

It is a good question to contemplate right up to the time of death.

Yes, it has so many formalities in ISKCON as an institution.

If it practical to take it formally in ISKCON that is great.

If not, then one might take formal vows in front of devotee friends and goswamis to give up physical and social intercourse with the opposite sex.

Use a saffron colored bead bag.

Within the institution, with our friends, in our direct contact with Srila Prabhupada, we can, must, find ways to advance in the rules and regulations if Bhakti yoga.

💪💪💪🐒

In many ways, I think many Bloggers take you as their inspiration.

hare krsna, agtSP, paoho/bw!!!

As we announced before, and every year, Annual Disciple Reports, must be posted under the "Reports" tab above, by 19th December, if we, Hp Swami, initiated you with Harinama or Gayatri mantras on behalf of Srila Prabhupada and his ISKCON.

So far there are only about 30-reports posted.

Of course, that is a relief for us 😎 . We only have to take responsibility for thirty people under Srila Prabhupada's glance.

How are you, Gurudev? This is Deva-Vrata das, currently living in Córdoba, Argentina (we don't know about tomorrow).

Today, November 30th, my mind is focused on trying to have a good distribution of books during this marathon. With a clear conscience, for my own spiritual benefit, the benefit of others, and to please you and Srila Prabhupāda with this transcendental activity.

Today on the "Japa Joe" program, I asked for your blessings for this endeavor, because without your blessings and those of the paramparā, I am powerless in every aspect.

A year ago, I was with you, Gurudev, in Spain... what a privilege and undeserved gift of life... thank you for everything once again...

What else can I do in life besides distribute Srila Prabhupāda's books? I'm useless, I'm not even good at it, I have no talent, but I do have a bit of stubbornness...

Besides, my faith is weak... but, I ask again, what else can I do?

I know your way of thinking a little... this isn't about selling books... It's about trying to give Krishna to people and encouraging others to do this... And I know you're not interested in numbers... but I need to motivate myself, haha.

I'm recording Vaisesika das's book, "Our Family Business," to motivate myself and the devotees... https://t.me/SankirtanaSrilaPrabhupada

We'll be together in December in the streets of Traslasierra, Córdoba—you, me, and Srila Prabhupada.

Hare Krishna Gurudev

HpS/ASA - Hare Krsna. AgtSP. Paoho. Thank you for this news. Numbers aren't bad. Our only Karma is to think about how to distribute books in anyway possible, but especially by making people into book distibutors.

Offer people five books instead of one. Ask them if they think these might be really useful for some of their friends. Then they are in the Sankirtan mood. Buy a book to learn, is like Jnana, no? Most people cannot do Jnana yoga in Kali yuga. Yet, joining the Sankirtan movement. Learning to teach. Is the Yuga dharma.

Then we have our technique.

SP said, Every salesman has his own technique.

We are worse than you, but we also try.

We bought books, got books from the library. Read books mentioned in other books we had read.

Bought a KRSNA book. Big hardcover from maybe Buddhimanta Das when we was in a dhoti and kirta at the Whole Earth Day festival at our university campus.

Best of wishes for a very pure Marathon!

Hare Krsna Gurudev. Pamho. AgtSP. Agtyou.

¿Cómo está Gurudev?

Aquí Deva-Vrata das, actualmemte viviendo en Córdoba, Argentina (mañana no sabemos)

Hoy 30 de noviembre tengo mi mente enfocada en tratar de tener una buena distribución de libros esta maratón. Con buena conciencia, para beneficio espiritual personal, beneficio de la gente y para complacerte a ti y a Srila Prabhupāda, con esta actividad trascendental.

Hoy en el programa "Japa Joe" pedía tus bendiciones para esta empresa, ya que sin tus bendiciones y las del paramparā soy impotente en todo aspecto.

Hace un año estaba contigo Gurudev, en España... qué privilegio y regalo de la vida inmerecido... gracias por todo una vez más...

¿qué otra cosa puedo hacer en la vida que no sea distribuir libros de Śrīla Prabhupāda? Soy un inútil, ni siquiera soy bueno haciéndolo, no tengo talento, pero si un poco de obstinación...

Además, mi fe es endeble... pero, vuelvo a decir ¿qué otra cosa puedo hacer?

Conozco un poco tu pensamiento... esto no se trata de vender libros...

Sino de tratar de dar a Krishna a la gente y de incentivar que otros hagan esta actividad...

Y sé a tí los números no te interesan... pero necesito motivarme jajaja

Estoy grabando el libro de Vaisesika das "Nuestra empresa familiar", para incentivarme a mi mismo y a los devotos...

https://t.me/SankirtanaSrilaPrabhupada

Estaremos juntos en diciembre en la calles de Traslasierra Córdoba, tú yo y Śrīla Prabhupāda.

Hare Krsna Gurudev
