Hare Krsna, Guru Maharaja.

Por favor acepte mis respetuosas reverencias.

Todas las glorias sean para Srila Prabhupada.


HpS - ASA -- !!!!


Gurudev, muchas gracias por toda Su inspiración diaria en el servicio. Es de gran ayuda contar con Ud. en FMP y es difícil pensar que en algún momento ud ya no estará ahí.


HpS - Who knows who will be the first removed from this world? As I write this you may have been killed by an elephant falling from a circus truck.


La verdad es que gracias a Ud, y a la asociación de los devotos y devotas serios y puros, nosotros podemos mantenernos y darnos cuenta cuando no estamos en la senda correcta.


HpS - Si, oir grabacion de Srila Prabhupada puedo ver que estamos desfiando de la consciencia de ser humano, devoto, Gauranga Bhakti.


Estuve 2 semanas con estrés, producto de las exigencias en el trabajo, servicio y que haceres. Parpadeo del ojo izquierdo, y otros síntomas menores.


HpS - Arjuna y Draupadi had to participate in the butchering of millions of people day after day after day, no? Pero, no menos nuestras pequeno desafilos con los peguenos recursos que tenemos realcionar con ellos. Krsna listo manejar sue caroza en la batalla.


Tuve que aliviar un poco las responsabilidades y volví a mi centro. Ahora vuelvo a tomar responsabilidades, pero de a poco.


No hay mucho que contar, solo que seguimos en pie, con japa, gayatri, lectura, principios, estudio, etc.

Sólo planificando, si Krsna quiere viajar cuando podamos.


Mis eternas reverencias.

Su aspirante a sirviente

Priya Sakhi dd


HpS - Y su Prabhu? Como esta el, y los ninos? Su iglesia? Su sociedad?

Seeing that all living entities are our guru

4 years ago by stopngo in Personal Sadhana Reports

All glories to H. H. Hanumatpresaka Swami.

All glories to Srila A. C.Bhaktivendanta Swami Prabhupada.

All Glories to Sri Sri Radha Giridhari.


I enjoyed the insights in your last letter, serving guru means serving Srila prabhupada this puts things in proper perspective.


Seeing that all living entities are our guru. this is a axiom worth striving for.


Presently I'm trying to serve the disciples with the best of my ability. most bramacharis are in there 20's.

My temple commander is Damodara carana das. He has the wisdom to lead in a supportive way. He engages me in the Food for Life Program and he makes the work seem so effortless, and I am inspired by their enthusiasm, and everyone fearless to do more outreach programs.


The elder devotees are miraculous. they have the experience to handle all of the considerations I might have.

Some of the senior devotees are

Dravida Dass.

Rajendrananda Dass

Para Shakti Dasi

Dharmasetu Dass and Dayanidhi Dass are rock solid in there service.

Vrindavan Dasi had to have a appendix surgery and Dayanidhi spent the evening at the hospital and he still made the morning program to dress the dietys. they are super servants of their Lordships.


I see that your schedule brings you for a super west coast visit.


I remember how the Boise community enjoyed your programs.


My understanding is H. H. Badrinarayan Swami e-mailed you regarding me becoming your disciple. did you by chance receive this message?


ASA - Aye, aye, Mate. We exchanged about messages and he's gonna send your beads on to chant.


I would personally would like to have your association while you're visiting in August.


HpS - Talking with Badri seems nice if you can be initiated in the ceremony in San Diego, but your could visit Boise while we are there for three weeks right after that. Nity-sara Das might be able to help you with accommodations.

🙂


Thanks for these exchanges as they help me understand the proper mind set a disciple should foster.

I appreciate your generosity of your time, your mastery of guru disciple relationship and the encouragement for me to continue on this path

Nitai/Gaura!

Your servant Mike Jarvis


HpS - Thank you for your letter. First initiation, second initiation, third... fourth... fifth.. 122! More and more accomplishments are possible. Even Krsna is marveled by the possibilities of Vrndavana Dhama and Sankirtan in the material world.

First initiation, then learn how to integrate your full personal abilities in Krsna's service. Then be poetical about it!!

"On the beach thinking...as the song goes " What a wild and crazy trip this has been"

.

ASA - Well, pack your carry-on luggage, because the CIA (Caitanya Intelligence Agency) wants you on their next run. What is Nimai planning in Nabadvip just to have fun?


We are looking at the Kapi Dhvaja and thinking. 😖 Too much for us today. Yet, Balarama will always have his way.


On the beach.. the ocean within easy reach.. news of Dominican you can teach.

Parashuram or Bhisma?-2

https://monkeywarrior.com/detail/12382/

Hare Krsna Maharaj,

PAMHO, AGTSP,

 

This is letter is regarding your teachings and observation, esp with fool like us.

We think we like to be something like Hiranyakasipu with different reasons.


Once you said (in hawaii sanga) if Harsh Pradhan becomes prime minister, he will say Chant Hare Krsna, Otherwise I will launch ICBM.


Famous King Aurangzeb was also like this, externally he lived austere life, he always chanted on rosary.


Even present Pakistan Prime Minister does this.


We are much attracted to the opulence of Krsna of fame, renunciation, knowledge and Power, in decreasing order.


We heard one statement from Gauranga Prabhu in GEV during Narsingh Chaturdashi lecture.

"Hiranyakasipu could tolerate Tornados, but could not tolerate 'no' from a child."

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9J24Jc3P960


We are very attracted to austerity, that's why we are also attracted to Bhisma, (somebody like Arnold Schazneggar and  still unmarried).


We are ever even attracted to Vishwamitra , who could create heaven himself.


we are even attracted to Shaolin Kung Fu, for that reason. One can does not fear lances, or rods etc.


ASA - We saw a video by a England born Indian who actually lived and study in Shaolin Monastery for several years. He was identifying the halls, people, proccess, friends, teachers, and said that this business about not being affected when kicked in sensitive place when by tourists was not true. It hurt but they were trained to not show it and then slip behind a tree and grimace and double over. 🤔

Seems Krsna book is very important for we who like soldier stories.


We still have hidden desire of head of state, we hear interview of big shots G-7, G-20 with that perspective,


what should be Prabhupada perspective on this problem?


HpS - Adjust to take first initiation = Sambandha, I am servant of Krsna.

Continue to second initation = Abhidheya, I am now developing my service in terms of my Ksatriya, B'mana, et al Karma, like Arjuna.


However we could see all this austerity is for our ego. It hardens us, not soften us. Our pride increases, we become very demanding and loose our soft side. We become very rough, critical.


Even austerity is what attracted us toward your self ( getting up at 130),

but we can see you dont get hard hearted instead you are becoming more soft.


We can see we can get deviated from Bhakti due to Yoga, Jnana and Karma (and decreasing order).

May be I was envious of Krsna he being Yogeswara.


Please guide me, how to use this attraction of austerity in manner which is useful for all souls.


ASA - This helps? Joan of Arc? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g8uFwwGvfBM but no solution for you, nor me, nor anyone except for becoming hero of Japa vrata.


hare krsna,

Harsh Pradhan


Urgent: Monkey Brain

AGTSP

All glories to you

Radhe Syam

 

I hope you are well, I am very sorry that you have received a complaint against me,


HpS - ASA --- AGTSP!!!!! paoho. . . . generally speaking there is nothing to be sorry about:

it happens to everyone all the time. radha and candravali criticize each other. canto five, in this world are the sounds of crickets which keep us awake at night and we can't find them, which is unfair criticism, but we can't find where it comes from. criticism from well wisher who only wants to help us improve our service. we did not know the critic, and could not edit the attached fotos, so we could not publish the letter.


the truth is that I was recently told by a friend and truly was my ex-partner who wrote, I apologize for the way she wrote to you, I think she identified with her ego, she is a very good person but like everyone has imbalances and unresolved issues, I remember I asked about your opinion about me entering into family life with a woman and you told me that only if there was non-Vedic marriage as it was not allowed and that it should be a very renounced relationship,


ASA - we don't remember the dialog, but we certainly advice 4 principles and 16-rounds in any situation. and as srila prabhupada defines it, marriage is bisexual for getting kids, but rama took a vow of friendship to the death with sugriva.


after a while of knowing each other from a distance, I decided to go to Brazil to meet her personally, unfortunately, I noticed a violent behavior of her towards her family although she sees it as normal, because she grew up that way, after a while, she recognized it, then after 3 months I decided to return to Chile to continue working and save so money to help my mother who for several years have suffered from chronic cancer. 


So she decided to go to chile to look for me and to visit her Guru, and I thought that we could put more effort into having a better relationship together, she already committed herself to improve her attitude, we looked for psychological help to treat her behavior, I am aware of that, from the beginning I told her that I suffered from Asperger's spectrum, something that for the moment she still does not understand and does not believe.


Over time I have learned to live with it but I cannot tolerate living in an environment of shouting, it is unnecessary and harmful, I also realized that she felt pressured by me spiritually, although she tried, I think she did not feel very comfortable, as I understood she was in another stage of her life. After some time my mother called me to tell me that her health was getting worse, then I told her that I had to go to El Salvador and she didn't understand that I had to go even though I had told her a long time ago,


in reality, it was very difficult for me to make her understand what was happening


before I left we signed a common-law marriage, I think it is the only thing we could do at that moment, it is not like getting married,


When I arrived here in El Salvador I realized that I haven't felt good for a while, I was not eating,  and I was emotionally and spiritually unstable, my psychologist said as well as several older devotees that it was not good for me to continue with a relationship, and I felt the same way.  So I decided to call her to tell her how I felt but I think she let her emotions get the better of her and did not understand or accept that it was not a good idea to continue with the relationship (since I did not consider it a healthy relationship) and I couldn't leave my mother alone since her husband left home and it is only me and my 19 year old sister and we are the ones who take care of everything.


The same day I ended the relationship she started to insult me and threaten me in different ways, afterward my friends and family and to this day she continues to do so with my friends that are in different countries that she doesn't even know,


I guess she can't accept that I can't and don't want to be with her, I consider and I explained to her from the day we started our relationship that if at any moment she didn't feel good with me and vice versa, that we were free to continue our lives in a good way . At no time have I ever treated her badly, insulted or abused her, she had a confrontation with Tilak's mother to the point of offending her (I will not mention her name), I think she contacted her because she is my teacher and has made up many things that she has created in her mind just by supposing them,




I wrote to her to apologize because I knew I should but she still she took everything in a wrong way, likewise Gurudev, I offer my apologies for the horrible mail that you received, I don't understand what was the purpose of sharing intimate photos or anything that came to you,


HpS - We just looked at the beginning of the letter, and could not identify who it was, so we did not progress. We would have erased the rest and explained that we needed to know wo was writing, what was their motive and the Blog was only for discussing general situations for general benefit and requesting proper individual communication, but we could not even do that because there were photo files attached that we could not preview or edit/delete if necessary, so we could just publish what we did and we see another letter has arrived, so we will try to deal with it with respect, but of course, the Blog is not a forum for constructive work on these detailed relations. Other forum are available.

We never read the letter or opened the picture files.


I have come to realize many things with this experience, one of them is that it seems that most of the marital relationships that we have in this material world are not valued by the spiritual life, but rather by the physical exchange and it seems that I am out of the normal standard and I think few can understand it.


Gurudev I really don't like to talk about these issues with you, since  I respect that you as a  Sannyasi and my spiritual Guide, and I am the one who has to apply the Spiritual knowledge in the material life, I always try to let you know what I am doing.


HpS - Mangala ananda Das in Argentina told me a few years ago that after several years he had realized that I was not his psychologist, I was his spiritual master. 🙂

Above we made our basic comprehension of the situation. We feel as suggested by Rama-Sugiva vows, that people can have same sex friendships, even taking vows of fidelity, but that is not marriage. It is friendship, again for spiritual development, and not an excuse for any kind of debased sensual gratification. 🐷



At the moment I am at home working, taking care of my mother, and studying Vedic Astrology, it is quite challenging the situation of my mother but we are fine, I have not been able to enter FMP since I am in El Salvador as the time is 3:30 am, but I hope to fix my schedule to see if I can attend, apparently you didn't receive a report I wrote to you in February but I will try to look for it again where I answered some questions you asked me.

 

HpS - Is possible. As we explained we got too many letters at V-puja, January, so we just asked devotees to send again. Guess, maybe, we should require devotees to send their Annual Reports on their birthday's not ours.


I am sorry for all the offenses and I guess I never thought this would happen and that she would react this way, but I think this experience will help me a lot in my spiritual process. I have to accept these reactions and work on them.


HpS - How can we expect others to be compassionate to us unless we are compassionate. Most case the anger, caused by pain, is not really aimed at us, no? We just look like some one, and get the other persons arrows. Eg My father neglected me. You look like my father, I hate/love you. Everyone chants then there will be a good resolution for everyone and we can all move together to the next stage.

Hare Krsna Maharajm,PAMHO, AGTSP

replying to question askedm

q:Have there been any new postings to the file from these Blog posts, Category B?..

ans: no ,sir, we were waiting for your orders. esp as far our dull brain understand

that TB was suppose to give a structure then we would add more data in file. As file blue print is not yet clear, even though intentions are clear.


Can we have interaction with TB and others, to go ahead?


HpS/ASA - Our brain may have more claim to being dull than your brain since we are from USA and are 72-years old, so please help us. Yes, lettuce meat sum thyme. Catch us!



https://monkeywarrior.com/category/special-category-b/


When horse feel tired, we remember, Parasurama, and swing 4 foot bamboo stick from Kerala (Parasurama Kshetra), We feel good. Even fighting is dance.


ASA - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lLuhWLNqpiA Real Ksatirya Dharma? Eat meat and drink wine?????? Yet, we can be Ksatriya inclined Brahmanas, no? !


We wish we could have Teacher who could go beyond gross, body movements.


ASA - Are there Tai Chi teachers accessible? Still, usually only goes up from visual to tactile focus. Earth, Water, Fire, Wood and Paper.

Wood and Paper????

Yes, in Chinese martial arts philosophy, Air is God!!

Dancing for Krsna with Kirtan, arati, is wonderful way to understand Pranayama and then Pratyara!!


Little info:

Capoeira (Portuguese pronunciation: [kapuˈejɾɐ] or [kaˈpwɐjɾɐ]) is a Brazilian martial art that combines elements of dance, acrobatics, and music. It was practiced by enslaved Africans in Brazil at the beginning of the 16th century.


ASA - ! One devotee in San Jose, Cafilornia (near California) was master of that!


Hiryanakasipu could tolerate Tornados, all demigods had to tolerate his anger, till he personally attacks Prahlad...


Hiranyakasipu Schools vs Prahlad School .. Thats what education is all about.


ASA - God helps those who help themselves.

Sticks are fun!!

Hope to talk with you within a few weeks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thank you so much for you association. You are such an example for us of determination. Hope your Sankirtan in the University is going well. The Queen and Prince are doing well.
