Morir para vivir

Hare Krishna dear Maharaja

Please accept my obeisances

All glories to Srila Prabhupada

How are you?


HpS - Very happy to receive a letter from you! With more work than our tiny brain can handle. Especially at 73-years old brain. So we prioritize for everyone's benefit and know Krsna is God.


I try to write, and then I find redundancies in my words, and without further ado, I suspend the writing.


HpS - Better just to edit and send, no?


Despite everything ... - my doubts always dissipate when I enter the Blog and read your comments, advice and blessings .. It is a great relief to experience happiness in the face of such mercy.


For example: A few days ago, while we were doing work with one of my sons on a terrace, he had an accident falling and seriously fracturing several bones in his arms.


HpS - My car only started after five attempts a few days ago. Of course, body is more close than car, but is basically the same, no?


Witnessing the incident, and as desolation, despair, frustration and grief invaded me ... I did not remember Krishna! Rather, lamentation was the only focus of my soul. A great sorrow in my heart. So you wrote: TB: Krsna sends advice through the devotees and the heart, but if we ignore that, then He sends a strong impetus from the environment (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JIRE0FSvrw8) that we can't ignore the message. We just have to accept all this mercy. (hps)


So, without pretending to justify my failure to deprive myself of blogging and sharing, I call on myself to have to deepen my service, over the vanity that indolence inspires.


In another vein, the agricultural activity seems to be directed towards the desired purpose ("Tons of beans for the boys of Nanda braja"). The citizen garden model is seen as adequate to the current circumstances.


Chanting Hare Krishna before sunrise.


The observance of regulative principles progresses.


Thank you very much Maharaja. Their association is undoubtedly the result of the causeless mercy of Srila Prabhupada, His Lordships Goura-Nitay, Krishna,

Ekachacra N C das


HpS - I only remember having your association for a few hours when we were in Argentina. Your good self is father of Vrsabanu nandini Devi Dasi, no?

You impressed us as a very potent person.

It is a matter of understanding how to release that power, no? Where to focus? In this life or the next.

Just short notes of your service and of your community would be wonderful.


Hare Krishna estimado maharaja

Por favor acepte mis reverencias

Todas las glorias a Srila Prabhupada


Como estás?


Intento escribir, y luego, hallo redundancias en mis palabras, y sin más, suspendo el escrito.


Pese a todo… - mis dudas siempre se disipan cuando entro al blog y leo sus comentarios , consejos y  bendiciones.. Resulta un gran alivio experimentar la dicha ante tanta misericordia.


Por ejemplo: Hace unos días, mientras realizábamos con uno de mis hijos un trabajo sobre una terraza, él se accidentó cayendo y fracturándose seriamente varios huesos de sus brazos.


Presenciando el incidente, y mientras me invadía la desolación, la desesperación, la frustración y la pena… ¡no recordé a Krisna ¡ Más bien, era la lamentación el único foco de mi alma. Una gran pena en mi corazón.


Entonces usted escribió:  TB: Krsna envía consejos a través de los devotos y el corazón, pero si ignoramos eso, entonces Él envía un fuerte ímpetu desde el medio ambiente (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JIRE0FSvrw8) de que no podemos ignorar el mensaje. Solo tenemos que aceptar toda esta misericordia. (hps)


Así pues, sin pretensiones de justificar mi falta por privarme de escribir en el blog y compartir, me llamo a tener que profundizar mi servicio, por sobre la vanidad que inspira la indolencia.


En otro orden de cosas, la actividad agrícola, pareciera hallarse encaminada hacia el propósito deseado ( “Toneladas de frijoles para los chicos de Nanda braja” ). El modelo de huerta ciudadana se aprecia adecuado a las circunstancias actuales.


 Cantando Hare Krisna antes del amanecer. La observancia de los principios regulativos progresa.


Muchas gracias Maharaja. Su asociación es sin duda el resultado de la misericordia sin causa de Srila Prabhupada, sus señorías Gouranitay Krisna.

HpS - AgtSP!!


All Glories to Srila Prabhupada !!!


As each letter I start telling you about my sadhana, 20 rounds, 4 principles, lately a bit difficult to concentrate on good rounds, I follow the FMP and connect to classes when they are in Spanish, I attend Tulasis (4) at home, I attend Jagannath Baladev Subhadra, Goura Nitay, I offer sweets, capatis, half day offering and milk, my reading at this time is based on the books of the bhakti sastri course, which I continue with P. Gandharva and again reading the krsna book.


HpS - ASA - !!! 👌


"Please do not publish this part of the letter, because you are a sanyasi, this letter to the blog goes with a copy to the mail of P. Gandharva and his Wife de él"


. . . .


HpS/ASA - We won't even read it. 😊

Best process is to have Gandharva Das or Karuna Krsna Das or some such nice devotee to send the letter to us. We are waiting. Thank you for all you determined efforts to help this movement.

Hare Krsna, Guruji Maharaja, Dandavat Pranam,


All Glaries to Sri Krsna, Sri Gouranga Mahaprabhu and Goura Bhakta Brinda.


Please accept my humble obeisances unto the padmacharan of Guruji Maharajah that this as year gone, Guruji's Vyasa Pujah also finished. Some pictures are attached for memory.


HpS - AgtSP


Just for increasing spiritual knowledge in serving Radha Krsna, Panchatatva, Jagannatha, Balabhadra, and Subhadra, I am reading the translation in Manipuri the book Prem Bilas of Rupa Goswami Thakur Maharaja.


HpS - We do not have an English copy.


After initiation and brahma diksa also we have never discussed / taught how to serve deities. The most important thing is to serve Nityananda first to get Gouranga Mahaprabhu likewise, we should serve Radharani first to get Krsna. Again, we should fix a particular kunja following a particular Manjuri. Please instruct me my particular kunja and Manjuri to be followed. All such things are not in the Bhagavat Gita and Bhagavatam.

Yours fallen servant,

Yamunesvara Das


HpS - Hare Krsna!!!! Text Eight of Nectar of Instruction, Srila Rupa Goswami's, Upadesamrta, seems have complete answer to this question, no? NoI is first book of Srila Rupa Goswami, the more we study, assimilate, it deeper and deeper, the more we can go to the other instructions of Srila Rupa Goswami.

In the beginning as second initiated devotees, we can worship Lord Nityananda and Srimati Radha on our ISKCON temple altars as given by Srila Prabhupada, Bh. Siddhanta, Lord Caitanya... Of course, such nice pujaris as Bana mali Das et al can give instructions about this.


Then gradually our worship will come to Ruci seva, Raga-anuga seva (See https://vedabase.io/en/library/noi/7/#bb5985 and following verses). This comes when are Goswamis, formally or by practice and realization. Ladys must also come to this stage before becoming pure devotees.


Are you Nistha, fixed, in Vaidhi Bhakti, service by rules and regulations:

  • Every day 16-nice rounds.
  • Four principles strictly.
  • Mangala arati and proper bath and dress for your Deity's daily.
  • All day fully engaged according to the daily Seva.

If we can do this, then Guru-Gauranga will reveal our Eternal Place and Leader.


How is your service progressing like this???


Your letters are very inspiring for such dummies as us.

About Giriraja Deitie

4 years, 7 months ago by brian tellez in Personal Sadhana Reports

Desr Gurudeva

pamho AGTSP

I wanna ask u finally what to do whit our deitie of Radha Giridhari, whit out your blessing we can't obtain the Supreme Lord service. Only 4 points.

👉

1)Before the wedding, we prayed that Krsna would come to our family in the form of a Deity (in any way the Overlord chooses) Because we can not create a good family if there is no Krsna in the center and worship Him in the form of a Deity. And Krsna came to us in this form.


HpS - Great! AGTSP!


2) I have already started worshipping Him and I have become attached to him and I cannot just give up serving him, but at the same time, I am not qualified and especially without your blessings I have 0 qualifications, because in reality you are serving the Deity of Krishna, not me, I am only serving as your instrument and helper in your worship.


3) we also told our sitation about this Guru of my wife, we told him your opinion on this matter and he said taking into account your words that if he gave his blessings for the worship of Giriraj, he would recommend that before worshipping Giriraj, prepare for it and at least a year , every day, regularly offer prayers in order to invite Giriraj to the family and worship him. 

(Before Giriraj came)


4) but the one thought that's sitting in my head is that I can't do anything for Him without your blessings, because I don't do worship, you do worship, and I just help in your service, and if you don't do it, how can I help you, then I can't do it.

On my part, I can follow the instructions of Niranjana Swami and my wife and I will offer prayers to Giriraj every day for a year. But maybe you could give me some other recommendations and instructions on how I could become a qualified brahmana to be your instrument in the worship of Giriraj. Could you give your blessings to this plan, or will you give us other introductions?


HpS - My only knowledge, AGTSP, is that unless you are living like a Brahmana, 4-principle strictly and 16-nice rounds/per day, then there can be very bad reactions from worshipping Govardhana and Saligrama sila, deaths in the family etc.

If you can do this for one year (with prayers) before starting Giriraja worship then, O.K., but must also continue after you start. It is like having a baby. You can't just put him aside because you are tired of him.


Attachment is Okay. https://vedabase.io/es/library/sb/1/6/19/ and following verses are illuminating, no?


Gaura - Nityananda! Gaura-Nityananda! 😁

Dadati- un prasadham a cambio de una confidencia.

4 years, 7 months ago by YugalaKD in Personal Sadhana Reports

Hk pamho Querido Guru maharaja, aquí la Surabi azul vuelve al rebaño, hoy regrese de casa de una amiga, hubo un intercambio amoroso prasadham a cambio de una confidencia. El año pasado y creo que sobre todo este año mi servicio de entregar prasadham de Radha Madama Bihari a los que por distintas razones no pueden tomarlo y lo desean me a traído felicidad. Cada visita es como una revelación Krsna manda un mensaje, estoy haciendo mi plan en esta persona, veo que hace milagros, concede deseos desde tiempo inmemorial. Me alegra ver que Krsna cambia la vida a las personas, reciprocara según la entrega. Espero que mis deseos valgan la pena. Krsna últimamente me muestra que todo tiene un precio, a veces ese precio es muy alto. Quisiera por ello ser honesta y que mis pedidos no sean vidrios rotos. Estoy pensando sumar a mis actividades aparte de Pujari y distribución de alimentos alguna más como un servicio a la comunidad. Aunque sea un día a la semana. Así es mi lucha contra la monotonía. Me siento feliz cuando el día termina lleno de servicio y me acuesto cansada pero contenta porque fue un buen día, digno. Estamos buscando salir caminar, cantar rondas fuera un grupo antes de pujari y el resto en lugar neutral fuera de casa y templo, en tranquilidad, caminar es mi único ejercicio, extraño bailar, una amiga llego a Vrndavana, es muy determinada, me cuenta que muy pocos usan tapa boca, cerrando fronteras se solucionó el contagio y los índices muestra que la pandemia esta de bajada. Así me parece genial, eso es vida, lejos de un mundo de paranoia, visitando un lugar sagrado lleno de sabios. Extraño a esos encuentros de sabios en presencial, quisiera estar siempre en asociación de grandes sabios, para no dejarme influenciar por mediocridad. Pienso que este periodo para la salud de los maestros es bueno, todo tiene su precio, viajar siempre deteriora la salud, pero que bonito es, verdad. Bueno deseaba compartir eso con Ud. estamos más optimistas y abiertas a cambios siempre que mejoren las condiciones, los astrólogos hablan de malos periodos, que importancia tienen realmente si actuamos como vivos, almas nada podrá afectarnos, confiamos y hemos constatado que donde están tus pensamientos es lo determina el estado de conciencia. Por favor sus bendiciones para que este año me permita lograr una meta, volver pronto al Dham. Tener la asociación de santos.

Hk pamho Dear Guru Maharaja, here the blue Surabi returns to the flock,


today I returned from a friend's house, there was a loving exchange prasadham in exchange for a confidence.


End of the year and I believe that especially this year my service of giving Radha Madama Bihari's prasadham to those who for various reasons cannot take it and want it has brought me happiness.


Each visit is like a revelation.


Krsna sends a message, I am making my plan with this Person, I see that He performs miracles, He grants wishes from time immemorial.


I am glad to see that Krsna changes people's lives, reciprocating according to surrender. I hope my wishes are worth it. Krsna lately shows me that everything has a price, sometimes that price is very high.


ASA - Srila Prabhupada says that he is selling diamonds. Not as many customers as for cut glass.


I would therefore like to be honest and that my requests are not broken glass. I am thinking of adding to my activities apart from Pujari and food distribution some more as a service to the community. Even if it's one day a week.


ASA - Super!


This is my fight against monotony.


ASA - Mono Tone. Would be Nirvisesa! Yes, we fight against Nirvisesa and Sunyavadi! Wonder Girl to the Rescue.


I feel happy when the day ends full of service and I go to bed tired but happy because it was a good day, worthy. We are looking to go out for a walk, sing rounds outside a group before pujari and the rest in a neutral place outside the house and temple, in tranquility, walking is my only exercise, I miss dancing,


HpS - In Goloka, every step, walk, is a dance. Practice!



... a friend came to Vrndavana, she is very determined, she tells me that Very few use a cover, closing borders the contagion was solved and the indexes show that the pandemic is on the decline. So it seems great to me, that is life, away from a world of paranoia, visiting a sacred place full of wise men. I miss those meetings of wise men in person, I would always like to be in association with great wise men, so as not to be influenced by mediocrity. I think that this period for the health of the teachers is good, everything has its price, traveling always deteriorates health, but how beautiful it is, right. Well, I wanted to share that with you. We are more optimistic and open to changes whenever conditions improve, astrologers speak of bad periods, how important it really is if we act as alive, souls nothing can affect us, we trust and we have verified that where are your thoughts It is what the state of consciousness determines. Please your blessings so that this year allows me to achieve a goal, to return soon to the Dham. Have the association of saints.

Yugala Kishora Dasi


HpS - ASA - We should all take lessons from Walter Leon, how to organize our life/Vastu veda, so that we can live alone and in the Big House at the same time. Many b'cariinis, Grhasthas in the same complex so that they don't have to wear masks.
