Gurudev ¿qué significa el éxito?

Hare Krsna Gurudev.

Please accept my humble and respectful obeisances.

All glories to Srila Prabhupada.

All glories to you.


Gurudev. I hope you are well, bringing the good news to Rāma that the ring is now in Sīta's hand.


Gurudev, I have several things to tell you. I don't want to take away your time and energy. That's why sometimes I don't write, and also because there is no relevant news.


First of all, I'm very anxious because I'm going to see you. I planned this trip 100% to be able to see you. If you were going to China or Mars I was going to try to go. But, by your mercy, it seems that I will visit the Holy Dhama, although I am not qualified at all. I am sinful and do not have a single drop of devotion. I am one of your newest initiated disciples, so I did not have much personal relationship with you, which makes me humble, since I am insignificant in all senses of life. That is why I am very anxious to be able to prostrate myself personally at the feet of my spiritual master, who is your beautiful and great person.


HpS - Trnad api sunicena. When we are fully awake we realize how we are servants of everyone.

Now, especially, we are servants of Srila Prabhupada. He is our Guru. He wrote the book KRSNA The SPOG.

He is the Founder-Acharya of ISKCON.

He also founded the BBT.

He lives forever in his books.


On the other hand, Gurudev, I remember that you once said that a disciple of yours realized, after 10 years of being your disciple, that "my guru is not my psychologist."

This was recorded in my memory and I try to take the relationship with you in a mature way and taking advantage of the fortune of having you, to ask you relevant questions about spiritual life, and to be able to do some service dedicated to you (BG 4.34).


HpS/ASA - AgtSP!


However, Gurudev, I want to ask you: What is success? Sometimes, I feel like I'm a failure in every way.


HpS - Success is ever expanding. The Gopis are successful in giving some novel delight to Krsna, but then is knowledge potency expands and He understands it.

Continuous, delightful competition between his Ananda and Cit zAktis.


Success is being able to chant Hare Krsna//Hare Rama.

If you can chant SKC, PNA... and follow it with HK//HR right now, you life is successful. Continue with that success and it will dictate to you how to make further progress.

🙂


My spiritual life is mediocre, I sing the 16 rounds but without enthusiasm and with many offenses. Yes I follow the 4 principles strictly. I don't have many spiritual realizations. I fail to have substantial friendly relations with the yatra devotees. I also fail to study the Scriptures seriously. I am not consistent in getting up early in the morning... I only distribute some books of Srila Prabhupada, and with that, I try to mentally convince myself that I am doing something for you and for him, but it is insignificant since I am not doing it with pure consciousness.


HpS - How do you know this?

How do you know the metal you have is not gold, unless you know what is gold.

So, you must have some higher consciousness.

Focus on getting up early and getting your rounds' done,

With enthusiasm

ie. meditating on the goal and and the path.

💥


In the material sphere, I also feel that it is a failure. I am 43 years old and within what materialistic society rewards as "success", I have none of that... No worldly love, no money, no worldly prestige, no children... nothing....


HpS/ASA - https://vedabase.io/en/library/sb/1/8/26/ 🙂


So? what sustains me? What should I do with my life, Gurudev?


HpS - Bible:

Look yee upon the Lilies of the field. Neither do they sow, nor do they reap, but I tell you, Solomon in all his splendor was not so arrayed.


If even a little sparrow falls, your father who is in heaven knows of this. Then do you not think that you, who are so much greater than these little beasts, are not being constantly observed by your Father who is in Heaven.


We can be eternal Sankirtan partners in Srila Prabhupada's party.


Act so that people can get help from you in reawaking their unique service, in the Sankirtan party, for Krsna.

Radha Krsna.

I know you don't know the details, but I wanted to ask you and ask for a few words.


Thanks Gurudev.

I love you very much.

I aspire to be your servant and be part of your entourage.


Deva Vrata das


..............

Hare Krsna Gurudev.

Por favor acepte mis humildes y respetuosas reverencias.

Todas las glorias a Srila Prabhupada.

Todas las glorias a usted.


Gurudev. Espero que te encuentres bien, llevándole las buenas nuevas a Rāma de que el anillo ya está en mano de Sīta.


Gurudev, tenga varias cosas para comentarte. No quiero quitarte tiempo y energía. es por eso que a veces no escribo, y también porque no hay noticias relevantes.


En primer lugar, estoy muy ansioso porque voy a verte. este viaje lo planifiqué 100% para poder verte. Si ibas a China o a Marte iba a tratar de ir. Pero, por tu misericordia, parece que visitaré el Santo Dhama, aunque no estoy cualificado para nada. Soy pecaminoso y no tengo ni una gota de devoción.


Soy uno de tus discípulos iniciados más nuevos, por lo cual no tuve mucha relación personal contigo, lo cual me vuelve humilde, ya que soy insignificante en todos los sentidos de la vida. Por eso estoy muy anssioso por poder postrarme personalmente a los pies de mi maestro espiritual, que es tu bella y grandiosa persona.


por otro lado, Gurudev, recuerdo que una vez dijiste qie un discípulo tuyo se dio cuenta, luego de 10 años de ser tu discípulo, que "mi guru no es mi psicólogo". Esto quedó grabado en mi memoria y trato de tomar la relación contigo de una manera madura y aprovechando la fortuna de tenerte, para hacerte preguntas relevantes y la vida espiritual, y poder hacer algúm servicio dedicado a tí (BG 4.34).


Sin embargo, Gurudev, quiero preguntarte: ¿Qué es el éxito?

A veces, siento que soy un fracaso en todas los aspectos.

Mi vida espiritual es mediocre, canto las 16 rondas pero sin entusiasmo y con muchas ofensas. Sí sigo los 4 principios estrictamente. No tengo muchas realizaciones espirituales. No logro tener relaciones sustanciales de amistad con los devotos de yatra. Tampoco logro estudiar seriamente las Escrituras. No soy constante en levantarme temprano a la mañana...

Solo distribuyo algunos libros de Srila Prabhupada, y con eso, trato de convencerme mentalmente de que estoy haciendo algo para ti y para él, pero es insignificante ya que no lo hago con al conciencia pura.


En el ambito material, también siento que es un fracaso. Tengo 43 años y dentro de lo que la sociedad materialista premia como "éxito", yo no tengo nada de eso... Ni amor mundano, ni dinero, ni prestigio mundanos, ni hijos... nada....


entonces? qué me sostiene? Que debo hacer con mi vida, Gurudev?


Sé que no sabes los detalles, pero quería preguntarte y pedirte unas palabras.

Gracias Gurudev. 

Te quiero mucho.

Aspiro a ser tu sirviente y formar parte de tu séquito.

¡Hare Krsna! Querido Guru Maharaja, por favor acepte mis humildes reverencias 🙇

y todo mi afecto.

 

Todas las Glorias sean a nuestro muy misericordioso Fundador Acarya A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada y todas las Glorias sean a Sus fieles seguidores.🌻


Gurudeva, muchas gracias por su incansable servicio, ejemplo e inspiración, en la ejecución del Servicio devocional. Gracias por empujarnos a mantenernos en este trascendental ejército de Srila Prabhupada.

Solo por vuestra misericordia sin causa, nos mantenemos firmes 16 rondas diarias (mínimo) - 4 principios, Mangala Ararika regular (fallamos 2 o tres veces al mes), servicio humilde en el templo (una vez por semana), mantengo asociación con agradables vaisnavas🙂

, atención (y relación) con nuestras Señorías, Kirtan y Lectura-estudio diario de los significados Bhaktivedanta.


Felizmente continuamos estudiando Bhakti Vaibhava, bajo la magnífica guía de SS Yadunandana Swami, en compañía de compañeros muy eruditos como Jayanta prabhu. Recientemente realizamos la evaluación de la primera sección del 3er canto del Srimad Bhagavatam. Pude darme cuenta, de que por la misericordia sin causa de Sri Guru, las experiencias vividas, nos han empujado a apreciar de manera más profunda los significados Bhaktivedanta, también pude observar de cerca algunos aspectos en los que debo y deseo trabajar. 🤓


La misericordia de Srila Prabhupada se expande a través de su trascendental legado; sus significados Bhaktivedanta, Su ISKCON y por supuesto Sus fieles seguidores. ¡Se lo debo todo!, de no ser por su misericordia ¿Qué clase de vida animalesca llevaría?🙏


Cambiando de tema: Continúo trabajando (poco) en auditoria interna, con buenos amigos que cuidan de mí. Y, como es normal, la salud de este cuerpo sigue deteriorándose, después del más reciente estudio decidí detener todos los procedimientos invasivos, porque el tratamiento ha sido peor que la enfermedad. Así que mantendré los tratamientos más leves y haré lo que esté de mi parte para no ser negligente con el cuidado de este burrito.


Muchas gracias Gurudeva, por su misericordia sin causa (que representa la de Srila Prabhupada y la de Nuestras Señorías) me siento una persona muy afortunada, la única manera que tengo para demostrar mi gratitud es vivir conforme a vuestras instrucciones y tratar de comunicar conciencia de Krsna a todos quienes conozco (Claro, hasta donde puedo entender). Sé que falló con frecuencia, que soy un estudiante torpe y que frecuentemente abuso de su misericordia, le ruego me disculpe… Por favor, bendígame para que algún día pueda ser un soldado útil en esta trascendental misión.


Siempre a sus órdenes

Hare Krishna! Dear Guru Maharaja, please accept my humble obeisances 🙇 and all my affection.


All Glories be to our very merciful Founder Acarya A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada and all Glories be to the faithful followers of him.🌻


Gurudeva, thank you very much for your tireless service, example and inspiration in the performance of Devotional Service. Thank you for pushing us to stay in this transcendental army of Srila Prabhupada.


HpS - We are 99.9999% puppets. Srila Prabhupada, Krsna, are pulling the strings.



Only by your causeless mercy, we stand firm 16 rounds daily (minimum) - 4 principles, regular Mangala Ararika (we fail 2-3 times a month), humble temple service (once a week), maintain association with nice Vaisnavas 🙂


ASA - NoI 1 --- You can make disciples all over the world!! Do it. Accept people who come to you for shelter.


, attention (and relationship) with our Lordships, Kirtan and daily reading-study of Bhaktivedanta meanings.


We happily continued studying Bhakti Vaibhava, under the magnificent guidance of HH Yadunandana Swami, in the company of very learned companions like Jayanta prabhu.


HpS - ASA - We will be with them in a few weeks, no?



We recently conducted the evaluation of the first section of the 3rd canto of Srimad Bhagavatam. I was able to realize that through the causeless mercy of Sri Guru, the experiences we have lived have pushed us to appreciate the Bhaktivedanta meanings more deeply.

I was also able to closely observe some aspects that I must and wish to work on. 🤓


HpS - Our relationship with Srila Prabhupada, his books, certainly changes more and more. Becomes very individual. You have to develop your own way of understanding, reciting them.


Srila Prabhupada's mercy expands through his transcendental legacy; the meanings of him Bhaktivedanta, the ISKCON of him and of course the faithful followers of him. I owe him everything! If it weren't for his mercy, what kind of animalistic life would I lead?


HpS - You are fortunate. I would be living an amoeba life. 🐛


Changing the subject: I continue to work (a little) in internal audit, with good friends who take care of me. And, as is normal, the health of this body continues to deteriorate, after the most recent study I decided to stop all invasive procedures, because the treatment has been worse than the disease. So I'll keep the treatments lighter and do my part to not be negligent in caring for this burrito.


HpS - Use the donkey Krsna has given you well. Then when it is not useful let it be recycled to make new bodies, and transfer to the next body Krsna sends. Maybe a Mercedes of Lamborginig or ... just come out in your Vaikuntha, Goloka body and laugh and sing!

Really would be nice to hear that you have died a happy death.


Thank you very much Gurudeva, for your causeless mercy (which represents that of Srila Prabhupada and that of Our Lordships) I feel like a very lucky person, the only way I have to demonstrate my gratitude is to live according to your instructions and try to communicate awareness of Krsna to everyone I know (Of course, as far as I can understand). I know that I failed frequently, that I am a clumsy student and that I frequently abuse his mercy, I beg your pardon... Please bless me so that one day I can be a useful soldier in this momentous mission.


Always at your service

HpS / ASA - Super!!! Now we go to Friday night FES. Thank you!!!! See you soon.

Bhagavat Purana is Superior. The Voynich Manuscript, probably a Big Joke on Scholars

9 months, 1 week ago by etasa in Personal Sadhana Reports

HK, AGTSP, PAMHO,

Dear Gurudeva,


Same old, same old, as they say. Nothing particularly exciting to add, except that existence feels more like waiting to complete a jail sentence in this realm than anything else. Evil always seems to pervade over good in every corner of this world.


One may wonder: Is what we were promised in the sastras truly delivered, fully developed, or attained (for the lack of a better term), or is it all a fantastic hoax? Humbly, I reiterate the question from my previous report that remained unanswered:


HpS - AgtSP. Previous report?? Did not see it! 😲

So, nice to hear from you.


https://vedabase.io/en/library/lob/28/

"The devotees of the Lord, therefore, make the best use of the bad bargain by utilizing the temporary creation in the service of the Lord."


We are in a prison. There is chance for psycho-therapy, occupational training, family counseling. We want to get out, but right now this is the best place for us. We become ready for the spiritual world. Not dumped back into prison again after three months out because of our violent nature and inability to make money nicely.


We can even become psychologists and guards!


I would like to ask about CC Madhya 22.158, regarding siddha-rūpeṇa. I've read a brilliant article by Vraja Kishor Prabhu on Madhurya Kadambini titled Why Our Japa Still Stinks, where he suggests a logical progression to improve Japa by using the eight steps of Patanjali's Yoga Sutra as a template. The immediate goal would be to finally reach some substantial improvement in concentration, thus leading to nishta-bhajan (Dhyana and Samadhi). The author emphasizes that after Pratyahara, or trying to leave behind the "false" identity to stop distracting thoughts successfully, it is crucial to fill that gap with a "real" identity fit and ready to serve Krsna in a particular way, embracing this role internally, Dharana. Even if, at the beginning, it is a faceless character, chanting from such a role is what allows more depth while chanting.


Of course, this seems to be a very personal practice, but this devotee insists that if we think we are not qualified for it, we shoot ourselves in the foot. What is your advice on this matter? What do you suggest as reading/practice to start working towards that step? Is any specific approach facilitated by the spiritual master, or does it all fall into a homogeneous, holistic, general instruction?


ei nivedana dhara, sakhira anugata koro, seva-adhikara diye koro nija dasi


Thank you very much for giving me shelter, Dear Gurudeva.

Respectfully and affectionately,

Your servant,

Etasa Krsna Das


HpS - Preparing for Friday night class. Stomach ache. 90-degrees Fahrenheit. 🙂

Same as you, no?


We think about above a lot.

We remember Srila Prabhupada says, that for every stage in the Astanga yoga system, there is a corresponding stage in the Bhakti yoga system.


In our practice it seems so.


Above description of stages in contrast seems fine. We see little different but not means we are better.

Don't remember exact list from SP of the comparisons.


Eg. we take Pratyahara as the change when we stop letting the drum play us and we play the drum.

In the beginning it is very gratifying to the senses to beat the drum in regular strong strikes. It is sense gratification.

Because it is dovetailed with Hari kirtan it is like Nama-bhasa. It liberates us. We like the freedom.

Yet, we are not withdrawing from the external sensual experience and hearing the meaning of the Mantra or trying to use the percussion to ornament, illuminate, the Mantra. When that happens, even though it may not be ecstatic for the senses, we feel ecstasy, satisfaction in illuminating the meaning, punctuation, for the Mantra.

We take it to a deeper level.


Of course, the senses begin to like this position more than their blind, juvenile, gratification with no depth.


O.K.?

Is one idea.


Chanting and Dancing obviously handle aZana and prAnayAma, no?

Four principles, Tri-sandhyas ~= Yama, Niyama.


When you come to Goswami ... ? .... nistha/ruci... you start Raganuga Bhakti. Goswami, male, female, eunich, must be very intuitive: Gita = jitAtmana prasAntasya paramAtma samAhita, Intro to NoI = Once one becomes goswami everything else about how to advance will be automatically revealed.

So, our use of Srila P's books becomes more intuitive, not so regulated and linear, German, when we reach goswami - Pratyahara/dharana/dhyana.


Also, not like quantum jumps - You are Nistha! or you are Ruci!

More like a Bell Curve.

I might be little bit of neophyte, mostly Nistha, beginning Ruci and sometimes Prema (once every five years).


O.K.?


If we want to discuss more we should organize a colloquia, no? 🙂

Requesting your blessings and guidance

9 months, 1 week ago by madhumanjari in Personal Sadhana Reports

Hare Krishna Gurumaharaj.

Please accept my respectful obeisance and gratitude.

All glories to Srila Prabhupada.


Pray this finds you well, and healthy in every aspect (as much it can be).


It was very inspiring, enlightening, and touching reading Balabhadra Prabhu's letter. I couldn't help, but some tears came out, it was out of appreciation for Balabhadra Prabhu's greatness and humility, being vulnerable, revealing his mind (oh Krishna, it is a precious gift, a Vaisnava treasure that he kindly is sharing with all of us).

My humble prayers to Krishna, may Sri Krishna reveal more and more of the sweetness of His heart to Balabhadra Prabhu and then, he can keep sharing with us, so we can chew that nectar too. Jai Srila Prabhupada!!


On the other hand, I wanted to let you know that finally, I got a ticket to Spain ( Sep 8th -Nov.25th) and then India (Nov 26th - Dec 30th), with your blessings may this plan take place..


HpS - We, agtSP, always remember a citation from the KRSNA book where Srila Prabhupada says that great devotees, like Narada Muni, go from different Holy Places to others and in route they meet and deliver many innocent people. So, while traveling   expect Krsna to send innocent people. Have literature. Peanut prasadam.

  1. We have to be pure: 16/4/FMS.
  2. Krsna will send innocent, curious, people.
  3. They have to be tolerant of mistakes in our preaching to understand what is the real situation of this material world.

There is another issue that I humbly request your guidance and blessings. My younger sister (Madhan Priya) who has been away from Krishna Consciousness, has shown some interest in reconnecting with devotees despite the challenges of her current circumstances; to encourage her and help her to reconnect with devotees, I am thinking of inviting her to visit Spain and spend some time with devotees while I will be there, and if you consider this appropriate, I could try to help her to do so and ask authorization to [from] H. H. Yadhunandana Swami for her to stay on the farm too. Maybe this can be an opportunity for her to regain faith and trust in devotees and Krishna Consciousness. Is this okay Gurumaharaj?


HpS/ASA - We don't know the details of the situation, but in general I think the New Vraja Mandala Yatra is great!!!

The only thing is that they have limited space to accommodate people so you have to be careful about that!

For yourself and her self, no?

I think Yugala kishora Dasi and Yasoda from Peru are coordinating that.


My parents passed away long ago and I haven't seen my siblings for almost 20 years, it seems that I won't be able to visit Peru soon, so if I can help to spark a bit of my siblings' spirituality and connection with Krishna, it would be a good fortune. I want to ask for your authorization to invite Madhan Priya to Spain and perhaps India if you consider it appropriate.


HpS - Again we don't know the details of the travel, her character etc. but in general it seems like a fine idea.

Ladies need to be a little tough and adventuresome to travel and stay in different places but some girls are like that, love it.

My Mother was that kind of person.


Thank you Gurumaharaj.

Ys,

Madhumanjari dd


HpS - Thank you!!! We pray that you can get free from all of your 'vasanas' from this life and previous lives. You seem to have been involved in Vedic culture for several life times.

Personal Reflections

9 months, 2 weeks ago by balabhadra dasa in Personal Sadhana Reports

Hare Krishna Maharaja, please kindly accept my most humble obeisances; all glories to Srila Prabhupada; all glories to your good self, his devoted servant and disciple.

So many things have been going thru my mind since my last letter.


HpS/ASA - We, agtSP, have so, so, so...

................................................so, so,..... so, ... so.. many thoughts that go through our mind, no? In one nights sleep, so many dreams, morphing into different things!


I think about the temple every single day still. I think about the devotees there: wondering how they are doing, if they ever think of me. I think about the offenses that I must have committed in my past life (lives); offenses that have led to this current separation from devotees: such agonizing sadness.


HpS - Visit once a month on Sunday with your pitbull tied up outside with a water bol. [Hari Bol!]


I sit outside in my backyard in the evening hours. It's peaceful and quiet. I find myself reflecting on what kind of life I was living before I came to Krishna consciousness: lost, dazed and confused.

As a child I was often lonely and alone, walking along the deserted beaches of NY, wondering why I was born.

As a young adult I got lost in the hippy world of drugs, sex and rock n roll: always asking myself what I was supposed to do with my life.

As my youthful years continued to pass on, I became more and more scared of a bleak future. It was then that I came to Krishna consciousness.


ASA 💥

Now, I'm an old man...

ASA - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uncle_Remus

...with most of my adult years having been lived as a devotee.




These days I find myself feeling sad because I still don't know what is Krishna consciousness;


HpS - Ha! Ha! Ha! Most people never ask!

Of those who ask, most people stop asking or caring, no?



I still don't know what is happiness, or what is love.


HpS - You must know or you would not be thinking that you don't have it, no?

Do you miss not having PeaMeakey?


I can only understand that I am getting older, and death is coming closer with each passing moment.


HpS - Then you will get a new body! You will be a Major League baseball pitcher with thousands of fans. Girls smiling to get you autograph.

You will be rich and famous

and ???? never go to Church on Sunday!!!

All the root beer you can drink.

Nothing for worth lamenting??


Or maybe we will all be with Nimai in Nadiya???


Yes, I understand the Bhagavad gita because I read it daily, even as much as I read Srimad Bhagavatam, chant Hare Krishna every day and worship my Deities every single day.

But my realizations are extremely shallow at best, and offer little comfort as a result.

Coming to terms and accepting these facts makes me very sad and unhappy.


My greatest moment of comfort is in the early morning hours, doing my japa in the peace and quiet of my living room temple, with some soft flute ambiance.

How I wish that those mangala hours could hold back the rising sun which results in dogs barking and people rustling and hustling about, disturbing my thoughts and meditation.

There is some solace when I am reflective on my life during those warm evenings in my back yard.

The evening air is cooling and inviting, pacifying my mind. Too bad the darkness follows soon afterwards.


HpS - What about your Uber clients? Any talk with them about the Taste in Water, the Light of the Sun.. the..??


Whatever happened to those evenings when devotees used to come to our home and celebrate Krishna katha, kirtan and prasadam? Where are they all now, in my hour of need for their friendship and association? So sad that they are so close, and yet so far. Where and when did I go wrong? In the Bhagavad gita Krishna says "suhrdam sarva bhutanam." He is the ultimate friend; He hasn't left me: and yet this loneliness and sadness prevails in my heart. How is it that I didn't see this period of separation and sadness coming?


I could go on and on in this manner in this letter, but I will not because I do not wish to simply lament for the sake of lamentation in some mood of self-pity. I simply needed to share these thoughts with you because I literally have no one else to share them with. Please kindly bless us, my wife and I; and kindly forgive me for annoying you with my foolish sentiments and thoughts.


Your lowly servant,

Bbd



HpS - AgtSP. Paoho. Please talk with Niti-sara Das about what service you can perform at Banki bihari's Temple. What mistakes you should avoid and tell us the result!!
