Lost, Surviving, Seeking Shelter

Dear Hanumat Presaka Maharaj,

PAMHO AGTSP!


I've been focusing on my book, applying for grants, teaching and trying to use social media platforms to publicize KC through dance.


Maharaj, I wanted to ask for some advice regarding this...I feel like maybe there is a calling to do something with regards to reaching out to many people through KC and dance.


However my digital platform is quite small still. I'm feeling a bit lost and it's really difficult to survive after leaving my dance school. Seeking some transcendental vision, knowledge and light🙏


You're aspiring servant,

Yajnaseni D D


HpS - Thank you for your letter and association.

In Kali-yuga we can see that women (like you), children, old men (like us) and animals are all in very difficult position, but there is one Greatly Good Thing. Just chant HK! and get liberated and go to Goloka and learn how to dance from Lord Balarama.

He is a a very great dance teacher.


So, the real thing is how much we can be engaged in kirtaniya sada harih. Am I writing this letter without chanting??? Stop!!

Krsna writes the best letters.

Within that then 16-enthusiastic rounds, Kirtans morning and evening... then!

We can see our Dharma well.

Music, Dance, Drama are Gandharva veda. We are doing GV, not Vastu, not Ayur, not Danda... LC was always dancing out the meaning, Bhava, of the songs, no?


So..... it is great preaching.

We need and ISKCON Dasa-avatar to show to other traditions.

We need Gaura-arati dance. It is a very descriptive son.

Jaya Radha Madhava. Udillo aruna. So many songs need to be put into dances.

  1. Who are you?
  2. Who are we? Find maybe five people who have some good idea about the first question and then connect with them.
  3. Then What is the Plan?
  4. What Things do we need.

Set a standard of rounds you are going to do until the next Purnima. Really consider what you can do, live or die.

Hmmm. 4/day... 11/day... 1/year on Janmastami... but DO IT. Then you will advance in "Who am I". (NOD)

Then.... Krsna will put you in contact with different people.


Was life easy for Kunti?


Gandhari?


Mandodari?


Radharani?


Devaki?


Devahuti?? Hmm. How is it going to be for Yajnaseni D D.

There are several girls working in this area. One I know but she is in Spanish language. She writes here. Prati-jalps.

Do what you can do now, but get your Japa down

Hope this helps a little.

Hare Krsna Hare Rama.


Lecciones de vida y nuevas noticias

3 years, 10 months ago by Nadiya Nivasi Dasi in Personal Sadhana Reports

Todas las Glorias a Sri Sri Guru y Gauranga.

Todas las glorias a Srila Prabhupada.


Hare Krsna Querido Gurudeva, Pamho, espero que ésta carta lo encuentra muy bien de salud. Nuestro reporte es el siguiente; Sadhana algunos días 3:30 am, aveces 4:30am, cantando 16 rondas, 4 principios, ekadasis, 3 gayatris, turnándonos con p. gadai gauranga del baño de salagram silas y govardhana, cocinamos todos los días temprano para hacer las ofrendas del desayuno y almuerzo, el jardín está hermoso, tenemos mucha variedad de flores así que las deidades tienen flores frescas todos los días, también estámos cosechando papas, alverjas, habas, hierbas, zanahorias, lechugas, rabanito, beterraga. Tenemos buena amistad con los vecinos, nos venden leche, regalan choclo.

Nos gusta sembrar y estar en contacto con las plantas, ésta vez están saliendo la segunda parte de girasoles para Goura Gurnima.


Mi Rutina diaria es salir muy temprano al trabajo, estoy como monitor de ventas en una empresa de telecomunicaciones, mi trabajo es más mental, llevo el almuerzo todos los días a veces almuerzo en la oficina y salgo temprano o me voy a almorzar a casa de M. laksmi.


Estámos retomando los estudios del canto 3 del Srimad Bagavatam con P. Laksmana Agraja das, los días jueves en la noche, el grupo es bueno, está p. Ramananda de arequipa, p. gandharva, Apsara gopi, P Govardhana y nosotros.


Quiero contarle también que me enfermé hace un mes de covid, tuve experiencias buenas y malas, la mala fué; perdón por revelarle esto; deseé no seguir viviendo porque mi conciencia aveces no es buena, le oré a Krsna que acabe con éste cuerpo para empezar de nuevo en otra vida y enfermé a los pocos días, ésta enfermedad me llevó a la profunda depresión de no seguir viviendo, no tuve miedo de dejar el cuerpo, sentía como si me estuviera purificando, pero mi esposo oraba por mí, las noches eran difíciles porque perdía el oxígeno totalmente, amanecía sentada algunas veces con la bolsa de yapa en mi mano, mi esposo me atendió con productos naturales y mejoré, así que estoy aquí todavía reportándome 😊

. También en esos días difíciles conversaba por watsap con una amiga de krsna que estaba en UCI, ella me decía que no quería vivir, tenia covid, riñón e hígado muy deteriorado, yo le decía que luche por su vida por su hijo, pero era en vano estaba decidida a dejar su cuerpo, así que no tuve de otra que conversar para que se prepare para la siguiente vida, ése día en la madrugada le hicieron diálisis y a las pocas horas dejó su cuerpo, al inicio me puse feliz por que dejó ése cuerpo deteriorado, pero después de unos días me puse muy triste, y lloraba cuando la recordaba, ella era muy entusiasta en los festivales de harinam, muy atenta con los sankirtaneros, le gustaba bailar y comer prasadam.


La buena experiencia de ésta enfermedad fué que una semana soñé con el puyari de Radha Madhana Vihari, fué tan real porque despertaba llorando y recordando la sensación y el sabor del servicio junto a los devotos de chosica y continuaba el sueño donde me quedaba, ¡todas las glorias a los devotos de chosica que hacen servicio incondicional todos los días!. En verdad sólo quería irme a chosica a hacer servicio y la otra semana soñé con los himalayas, soñé que caminaba e igual me quedaba en un sueño y al día siguiente empezaba donde me quedaba, hasta que al final encontré al Sr. hanuman y me daba permiso para entrar a los himalayas, ahora tengo ese deseo intenso de ir a india y llegar a los himalayas y visitar algún templo de Hanumán. Hace poco leí en el Bagavatam en el significado de Srila Prabhupada cuando krsna le instruye a uddhava visitar los lugares sagrados; Badarikasrama (en los himalayas donde se encuentra las deidades Nara - Narayana), Ramesvar, Jaganath Puri y Dwarka y en verdad no deseo dejar el cuerpo sin llegar al santo dham.


Le cuento que hay buenas probabilidades de comprar pasajes a India con p. Gadai, espero éste año si todo sale bien o para el próximo año, así que le quiero pedir porfavor; ¿Qué tengo que hacer para purificarme y llegar a India?


La fiesta de Goura purnima lo haremos en el templo de M. Laksmirani, llevaremos a nuestra deidades de Goura Nitay, cae un día domingo así que haremos nuestras mejores ofrendas para Gouranga y Nityananda , llevaremos bhoga de la chacra, girasoles del jardín y verduras, le estaré enviando fotos del festival y de los devotos.


Eso es todo querido Gurudeva Gracias por su asociación día a día.


Esperanzada en llegar al santo dham


Nadiya Nivasi Dasi.

All Glories to Sri Sri Guru and Gauranga.

All glories to Srila Prabhupada.

Hare Krsna, dear Gurudeva, Pamho.

I hope this letter finds you in very good health.

Our report is the following;

Sadhana some days 3:30 am, sometimes 4:30 am, chanting 16 rounds, 4 principles, Ekadasis, 3 Gayatris, taking turns with P. Gadai gauranga Das for the bathing of Salagram Silas and Govardhana.


HpS - ASA --- Do they have Names? Are they happy? What are They doing??


We cook early every day to make the breakfast and lunch offerings, the garden is beautiful, we have a lot of variety of flowers so the deities have fresh flowers every day.


ASA - !!! Same here. Flowers on all the trees, bushes. Just like jewels, better! [Allergy]


We are also harvesting

  • potatoes,
  • peas,
  • beans,
  • herbs,
  • carrots,
  • lettuce,
  • radish,
  • beet.

We have good friendships with the neighbors, they sell us milk, they give us corn.


HpS - Do fire sacrifices for them!! Is ther a local Catholic church? Priest is nice? Other churches? How far is nearest town? Is there a university, secondary school, there?


We like to sow and be in contact with the plants, this time the second part of sunflowers is coming out for Goura Gurnima.


HpS - Gauranga! Hope there are fotos attache! We can't see them until we "Publish" the letter.


My daily routine is to leave very early to work, I am a sales monitor in a telecommunications company, my job is more mental, I take lunch every day, sometimes I have lunch at the office and I leave early or I go to have lunch at home. M. laksmi.


We are resuming the studies of Canto 3 of Srimad Bagavatam with P. Laksmana Agraja das, on Thursday nights, the group is good, it is p. Ramananda from Arequipa, P. Gandharva, Apsara gopi, P Govardhana and us.


HpS - Super! I hope there is a report from him in the Blog.


I also want to tell you that I got sick with Covid (Karuna virus) a month ago, I had good and bad experiences, the bad was; sorry for revealing this to you; I wished not to continue living because my consciousness is sometimes not good, I prayed to Krsna to end this body to start again in another life and I became ill a few days later, this disease led me to a deep depression of not continuing to live, I did not have afraid of leaving the body, I felt as if I was purifying myself, but my husband prayed for me, the nights were difficult because I lost my oxygen completely, I woke up sitting sometimes with the bag of Japa in my hand, my husband treated me with natural products and I got better, so I'm still here reporting 😊


HpS - At 9PM last night our phone starte buzzing, buzzing, buzzing! I looked and there was an emergency tornado alert! "If you are in a mobile home (we are) immediately move to a more substantial structure. There is a tornador South of Murfreesboro and moving North East"

We took some water, cell phone. Covered with hat, blankets and got in the bathtub!

The rain hit like a canon, house shook, sirens howled, we chanted.

Pretty ready.

Stay, go.

It is a spiritual decision. Do we have work here or in the next body??


Also in those difficult days I used to talk through Whatsapp with a friend of Krishna who was in ICU, she told me that she did not want to live, she had Covid, kidney and liver very deteriorated. I told her to fight for her life for her son, but it was in in vain she was determined to leave her body. So I had no other way to talk to get her to prepare for the next life, that day at dawn they did dialysis and after a few hours she left her body.

At first I was happy because she left that one body deteriorated, but after a few days I became very sad, and cried when I remembered her, she was very enthusiastic in the Harinam festivals, very attentive to the Sankirtaneros, she liked to dance and eat Prasadam.


HpS - Same has happened to me when B. S. Damodara Swami left. At first we were feeling that he was still with us! We just had to carry on his work, but then after a few days, at one festival where Lokannatha and Gopal-krsna Maharajas et al were telling there remembrance of their association with B. S. Damodara Swami we were just overwhelmed with remembering our personal association with him. It was very meaningful, and when they wanted us to talk, we could not. Prabhupada said it is like seeing your lady friend going to work in some foreign country. You and others see here at the airport and say good bye. You are sad, but you know she has not existed. You can, must, keep in touch with here. Continue her service in this world and then you will meet her again in the Sankirtan movement.


The good experience of this disease was that one week I dreamed of Radha Madhana Vihari's puja, it was so real because I woke up crying and remembering the sensation and taste of the service with the devotees of Chosica and I continued the dream where I left off.


All glories to Chosica devotees who do unconditional service every day! I really just wanted to go to Chosica to do service, and the other week I dreamed of the Himalayas. I dreamed that I was walking and I still stayed in a dream and the next day I started where I left off, until at the end I found Lord Hanuman and he gave me permission to enter the Himalayas.

Now I have that intense desire to go to [back to] India [like I was in my last life as a Yogi] and reach the Himalayas and visit a temple in Hanumán.


ASA - So many people in this movement were Oriental monks in last lifetime.


I recently read in the Bagavatam, Srila Prabhupada's purport when Krishna instructs Uddhava to visit the holy places; Badarikasrama (in the Himalayas where the deities Nara - Narayana are found), Ramesvar, Jaganath Puri and Dwarka and I really do not wish to leave the body without reaching the Holy Dhama.


HpS /ASA - Let us all charter our own airplane for 500-people and go in a group in 2022? We can have our own tents, and camels and security guards, and do dramas along the way. People can make copies of Srila Prabhupada's book.


I tell you that there is a good chance of buying tickets to India with P. Gadai, I hope this year if everything goes well or for next year, so I want to ask you please; What do I have to do to purify myself and get to India?


HpS - Krsna will arrange it. It seems He may have already started, no? Accept that mercy.


The festival of Goura purnima we will do in the temple of M. Laksmirani.


We will take our deities of Goura Nitay, [!] it falls on a Sunday so we will make our best offerings for Gouranga and Nityananda. We will bring Bhoga from the farm, sunflowers from the garden and vegetables I will be sending you photos of the festival and the devotees.


HpS - Maybe we get to Peru in a few months. Maybe rent some land next to Rupa-anuga's Ashrama, Valle sagrado, and stay for six months. We don't need a special visa for that. Just stay one place. People could come, do some quarantine in the garden houses, and then come in to the village, New Ashokavan. We could work on developing our cultural community: Movies, puppets, all kinds of Sankirtan presentation and training. Then we could all stay there or move everything to a better place.

A pandemic free village.

Plans are nice to give direction, but then we see how Krsna develops things.


That is all dear Gurudeva. Thank you for your association day by day.

Hoping to reach the Holy Dhama.

Nadiya Nivasi Dasi.


HpS - ASA ---- Thank you for your association! It is 9.02PM. hare kRSNa, hare rAma!!!

Now we offer Lord hot-milk and KRSNA, book!

See you soon! Respects to everyone.

HpS/ASA - AGtSP. We sent the audio clip. I don't think we should "pray for" Nanda Raja Das. I think we should chant for him, so he can hear us! On the mental (and spiritual platform). Are we correct!


2.36PM --- one sincere round in front of NRD picture --- 2.43PM


Everyone else do the same?!! 🐏

Haré Krishna. Pamho agtsp all glories to You.


 Prabhu Nanda Raja is very very serious, the Dr. told to his wife to get ready and prepare the childrens because at any moment he can leave the body, the last laboratory tests were very bad and they consider that does t have much sense to keep invading his body with appliances (aparatos) At this moment he is not conscious. Many devotees and godbrothers are praying for Nandaraja


HpS - ASA === Please send a photo (to the Blog)!!! Then we can meditate on him.

SB 10.47.63

  • He is on the earth (Bhu)
  • He is in the sky (Bhuvah)
  • He is in the heavens (Sva (Goloka))

We can chant and that will fill his ears AND his Astral world. For that, meditating on a picture is very valuable. Please send.

Then... he will probably go to Nabadvipa to be with Srila Prabhupada, Nimai et al.

He would make a nice robust Brahmana playmate of Nimai, no???


Ambo: If You want You can send and audio to Nandaraja, it's ok?


HpS - ASA: How?

Personal connection with Srila Prabhupada

3 years, 10 months ago by harsh_horse in Personal Sadhana Reports, Special Category A

Hare Krsna Maharaj, PAMHO, AGTSP,


We were hearing your lecture on books are the basis. In that you mentioned

"one should build personal relation with Prabhupada".


For steel framed heart , a loner, low EQ person, (all this my mind not me ), 2 leg- animal, like us how can we establish personal connection. Is it okay to have personal-indirect connection all the time?


We are struggling with our necessities of eating, sleeping, working and defending. but one thing is good----16 rounds and 4 rules are intact and increasing in seriousness.

Virtual Mangal artik is more regular.


The best time is when we hear your lectures, and as you said "books are the things which you want to remember", kindly give us permission to transcribe your lectures.


I know personally you don't want to eclipse position of Srila Prabhupada,

but for fools like us, we need bridge like you.


We are not that fortunate and sincere as you are, but still somehow we got your association. We know once you are physically gone, only your voice will be remaining.


Frankly speaking we don't see any other purpose than to serve you in any capacity, in current life.

our wife and kid left us. its not a problem. you leave this world is a end of world for us practically.


I know you want us to preach, then what an two leg animal like us can do to preach.


we are saying this because in our department somebody regularly criticked us and then in reaction our hands legs started shaking, with rush of blood. We could not stop it immediately. now this is strange behaviour. reason we could figure out was hunger as trigger.


everybody has sort of disowned us, they expect us to be mature.

we are just two legged animal, who studied things to get bread.


but we console ourselves by saying that we had fortunate to share rooms, car, flight with HpS.

Srila Prabhupada took care of fool like us by making us meet you.


as Srila Prabhupada said he will live in his books forever, please allow us to make you alive forever also.


Youtube lectures are there, but still books seems to be more integrated.


robotic, automated, 2 -legged animal


HpS - Esteemed two legged animal with Doctorate !!

1) Your association is always nice. How can Srila Prabhupada or any one who reveres him forget the work you did to make the 'International Symposium on the Contribution of Ancient India in Making a Better World', in Calcutta. So many other ways you have helped Srila Prabhupada's mission.

Maybe you have shortcomings (in the material world everyone will show that [NOI-6]), but anybody with good heart and good brains will find some way to get the good aspects of your association.,


2) Transcribing: First work on the ASA(e). We seem to have stumbled in moving it forward. I (and TB/BW) just need a file that we can open with Word with everything in one alphabetic sequence ie. Essays and References.

O.K? Some of the DTC-UT presentations that we are making now could be made into publications and well as movies. First the ASA(e), no? The lectures could be edited into it.


3) Personal relationship with Srila Prabhupada: "The spiritual master is the transparent medium, although it is true that the experience is still direct." https://vedabase.io/en/library/bg/18/advanced-view/#bb4272

It is like seeing the world through glasses. You have a direct experience of the world. So test of Guru parampara is that we have a direct experience of Srila Prabhupada through:

  1. Paramatma
  2. Deity
  3. Books
  4. Devotees
  5. Dreams
  6. Process
  7. etc.

We used the weed whipper yesterday with goggles. It was good. Trimmed down a lot of weeds. Now we have Texted Don [Christian] is he can come and cut the major part. Many blossoms here. Hope to get to Discount Tire and get the Mercedes tire fixed.


Cooked two tablespoons of fennel seeds, two tblspns of rolled oats, and one robust carrot, and few walnuts and little salt, little olive oil, for Lord's lunch.

Was nice offering. As soon as we thought about how much to cook for Him etc. our consciousness changed and usually we cooked less and had a finer idea of what kind of food was needed for Him to have full energy.


We do not know anything.

Whatever plans we have, memories, are the result of chanting.

They keep the Calendars.

They defend us, or sacrifice us to the mall assassinators.


AGTSP Paoho..
