HK! querido Guru Maharaja, me alegra saber que sus programas de predica son imparables, ojalá

pronto podamos verlo y ayudarlo en sus programas como antes, ya casi se acaba el año siento que mi aislamiento pronto termina.

Hay un programa muy lindo en la página de Iskcon Chosica, una buena devota de Perú trasmite desde Vrndavana, lo cual me permite viajar de regreso al menos en el recuerdo, y tener siempre presente ese maravilloso lugar, e inspirada en ello, una vez a la semana repartimos maha prasadham a la policía, a señores de construcción civil, a devotos alejados y esta semana tocó a los minusválidos, no es mucho pero recuerdo que el lema es que cerca al templo siempre se distribuya prasadham.

Estuve reflexionando y deseo pedirle su permiso para seguir enseñando BS, soy como un león solitario, tengo pocos alumnos, así lo prefiero, pero los mejores, tenemos más herramientas manuales, por favor permítame seguir enseñando, quien corrija su examen final puede ser otra persona. Ese es mi pedido. Después del taller de la surabhi azul, donde gente nueva leyó los libros bases, las traducciones del gita y verso resúmenes, va al BS con una visión general de los libros y con las exigencias del BS, esa es mi estrategia.

HpS - Como entiendo. TlgaSP!!!! Aparece buena estrategia. Estudiar para ensanyar!

Le mando la hermosa foto de Jaganattha Swami su entusiasta discípulo que viste a Prabhupada y espera un saludo de su parte.

Su hija que lo adora:

Yugala Kishora Dasi (La Surabhi Azul)

HpS - Hare Krsna!!!

Hare Krsna Guru Maharaja.

Por favor acepte mis respetuosas reverencias.

Todas las glorias sean para Srila Prabhupada!

Gurudev, muchas gracias por Su últimas respuestas.

Me inspira mucho eso de dar clases de Danza, Teatro y Música en "Atma Kula". Espero concretarlo.

En unos días comenzaremos reuniones sobre experiencias de educación en casa. Se llama "Historias de Homeschooling".

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

Muchas gracias por Su deseo de ayudar a Jagannatha en su servicio en la administración.

¿Cómo se puede concretar esto?, ¿Jagannatha tiene que escribirle a Usted o quizá pueden reunirse?

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

Hace algunos días estoy con dolores de cabeza e insomnio. Por Purusottama estamos haciendo Mangala Arati, antes de FMP, junto a unos devotos y devotas. Nos reunimos en zoom y hacemos un programa de 1 hora, a veces transmitimos en Facebook. Algunos devotos y devotas siguen la transmisión.

Comenzamos otro curso de Discípulos con 10 estudiantes.

Nos quedan 3 semanas para terminar Bhakti Sastri. Luego tomaremos un curso en Vaisnava Care", sobre "El arte de cuidar Vaisnavas".

Últimamente he tenido el deseo de predicar más y tener la experiencia de "hacer" devotos/as. Tengo mucho que aprender de esto. No sé lo que es plantar la semilla del Bhakti en las personas, y quisiera hacerlo. Así que me gustaía incrementar mi servicio de prédica y capacitarme también.

Guru Maharaja, muchas gracias por todo.

Su aspirante a sirviente

Hare Krsna Guru Maharaja.

Please accept my respectful obeisances.

All glories to Srila Prabhupada!

Gurudev, thank you very much for Your latest answers.

I am very inspired by that of teaching Dance, Theater and Music classes in "Atma Kula". I hope to make it happen.

In a few days we will begin meetings on homeschooling experiences. It's called "Homeschooling Stories."

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

Thank you very much for Your desire to assist Jagannatha in his service in the administration.

How can this be done? Does Jagannatha have to write to you or maybe you can meet?

HpS - Jaya! Both are fine with me!

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

For a few days I have had headaches and insomnia. For Purusottama we are doing Mangala Arati, before FMP, together with some devotees. We meet in zoom and do a 1 hour show, sometimes we broadcast on Facebook. Some devotees follow the transmission.

We started another Disciples course with 10 students.

We have 3 weeks left to finish Bhakti Sastri. Then we will take a course in Vaisnava Care ", on" The art of caring for Vaisnavas ".

Lately I have had the desire to preach more and have the experience of "making" devotees. I have a lot to learn from this. I don't know what it is to plant the seed of Bhakti in people, and I would like to. So I would like to increase my preaching service and train myself as well.

Guru Maharaja, thank you very much for everything.

Your would-be servant

Priya Sakhi Devi Dasi

HpS - Lord Caitanya's preaching formula of preaching: https://vedabase.io/es/library/cc/madhya/7/128/

is very nice, no? Wherever you go, whomever you meet, tell them about Krsna based upon BG and SB.

Of course, we can pray to Krsna for inspiration about where to go so that we meet more people, but basic principle is just hear BG and SB etc. and then react to the people we meet by explaining to them what we have heard. Eg. Vyasadeva and Narada Muni et al.

HARE KRISHNA HARE RAMA!!

Dear Guru Maharaja, please accept my most humble obeisances!!

¡All Glories To Srila Prabhupada!

¡All Glories at Your Lotus Feet!

HpS - Lettuce Feet. AgtSP!!

I write this letter thinking you can remember me and to make a small report of my sadhana. In December 2019 in Mexico City you were very kind to give me shelter, we continue singing 16 rounds per day and following 4 regulative principles. Nowadays my job consumes me from 9 to 10 hours at day (a lot of wasted time), however, the pay allows me to keep the department in which I live. I live alone. They also promoted me to manager.

HpS - In whatever position we find our selves, we should accept it as Krsna arrangment and then try to serve Him there, better and better. Then if any change of position is necessary it will happen naturally. How can you expand the Sankirtan movement through those 9-10 hours. Look for a room mate, share apartment. B'carini ashrama?

Immediately after work I go to the temple (5 days a week), I have paraphernalia service in the afternoons for three days and the other two I practice Odissi. Again I reconnected to FMP and the morning classes. It is very inspiring to listen to you in the morning.

HpS - !!!! 🙏 !!!

!!! !! !

The relationship with my family is now better than ever, my parents support me a lot in Krishna Consciousness, even when mother cook “for me”, she does not taste it thinking in Krishna and to be offered (Jaya).

In the last letter I asked you if I could worship Tulsi that a sister had given me, she is growing very fast and pretty, I see her comfortable and healthy.

A few weeks ago I invited the devotees to my home. Their holy association filled the home with joy. Kirtan was done, a fragment of the Nectar of Devotion was read, and we ate maha prasadam. I hope I can do more programs at home and invite more devotees.

ASA - Pictures?

Finally I would like to tell you that I have just associated with a resident devotee of the Radha Madana Gopala temple, he is the commander of the temple and in charge of the kitchen, he is a disciple of H. H. Bhaktisundar Maharaja, his name is Vraja Mohan Das. He is a good devotee and very responsible. We had talked about making an announcement of a possible courtship until next year, however the authorities (the president) advised us and asked us to do it ahead of the plan, so they recommended that prabhu wear white, making an announcement of the relationship publicly in the temple, after the program, getting a good response from the community. Many blessings. HH Bhaktisundar Maharaja spoke with the devotee and then with me, giving us acceptance and his blessings. We are aware of the process we have just started and that the ultimate goal is to be able to serve Krishna properly.

I am very happy for the last few months, in which the Krishna Consciousness process is echoing in all my activities, in a few days will be my 26th birthday, so the renewal of vows, activities and association is present day by day.

Thank you so much Guru Maharaja, please excuse me for any offense I committed.

Your fallen aspirant, Natyelli Garza.

Gouranga!!!!

HpS - Kali -yuga is a mess. You should have been married by 16-years old. How old is Vraja mohan Das? Best is to have second initiation before marriage. Etc. Etc. Etc. so we make the best use of a bad situation. 16 rounds, 4 principles, association of devotees. We ----may----- escape from...

THE WITCH

It is honor to have your association. Become successful. Become a Mother to so many people.

More Temple News!

Hare Krsna Gurudeva!

I hope you are doing very well in every way.

HpS - Wow! That is a big hope!

I'm fine. My spiritual life very well thanks to Radha and Krsna.

I have not written to you before because I did not know what to say without repeating myself, or without being as ugly-analytical as I am.

I love your handwritten KDs ... you once gave me one when I asked !! ... they are beautiful, they remind me of children's books. So simple, so cute, with such funny drawings. Avatars ?? Hahaha!

HpS - Hmmm!

With the pandemic, I go for a run almost every day, 8 kilometers. I swim in the sea almost every day. Now the water is crystal clear thanks to the fact that the currents are colder, not like in summer. With your eyes open, one can see almost as if wearing diving goggles. It just makes you want to play in the water. It is as if one were in another world in those moments.

Times when sunlight is crystal clear and yellowish-white. It seems the light of the brahmajyotir of the mystic yogis.

The waves, soft, as if not wanting to break the moment, break on the shore as if they were felt on marble. The sea in these months is like a swimming pool, a dream.

HpS - Sounds like the Yamuna with Krsna!

Algae, so ugly for many people, is as if they were the sea's invitation to play with one. And in the background, an airplane of the military academy of the air (it is very close) raises and lowers revolutions, and in height, with its training propeller motor, as if a bird, noisy or enraged, did not stop making sounds, losing itself and approaching in the heights.

In my mind, it's like hearing a sound in my gut. Sunday sounds, clear light and crystal clear waters. Smell and sea breeze, with sand stuck on clothes, and on the knees.

It is impossible for me to understand how people allow themselves to be carried away by their imaginations, to such an extent that they do not behave like real living beings.

Lately, when I read your Twitt's, I remember the Goswamis. And from one of their phrases, I don't remember if it was from Rupa Goswami exactly ... something like "I no longer know if what I say is true or a lie," as if only Krsna knows.

I have had some strong experiences in recent months, spiritual, . . . the material ones, I don't even count them anymore, and every day I am more aware that the only network of reality is Krsna and his networks (associates, worlds, thoughts ...)

I have to admit that I am very happy, and I don't know why.

HpS - I guess we have to all accept that Lord Caitanya's mercy goes to the fallen!

I understand Krsna's wishes in Caitanya Mahaprabhu's mood about this world, but right now, I think the only thing that would be worthwhile now is to go back to Vrndavan Parikrama and never go out again, with people like You, and many other devotees, from deep and human soul that I admire. Some famous, others not. Some young, others not.

I hope you have a very good morning in this material hell.

At Yours feet, my obeisances.

Hare Krsna Maharaja!!

HpS - Thank you!!! Do you read CC??? Does Krsna send innocent people for your to talk with?

P.D: Here I take a bath almost every day. Of all beaches, the best!!! hahaha

All glories to Goura Nitay

All glories to Srila Prabhupada

Hare Krishna Gurudev, I begin my report, it is difficult for me to sleep at the time I did before, I continue to wake up early for my rounds and the morning program but my body must rest at inappropriate times, it must be because of the confinement, I am with different techniques to improve the situation warm milk with orange peel, lavender, lemon balm etc ...

I will be able to improve this, I must regulate it for my health I have been very well with regard to epilepsy so it is necessary to return to my previous break,

...moving on to another topic, I continue With daily reading, studying the second Bhagavatam canto, learning new techniques of summarizing, memorizing, diagrams etc ...,

HpS - ASA - Wow! [Guau!]

... he continued with the work by zooming in reading writing twice a week making templates by power-point to motivate the little ones, finally I continue to preach by phone reading a book that the girls chose, Krishna book, (smart girls) in addition to containing it in their spiritual life I try to do a good job so that they are comfortable and know that I am here for them, thank you for your attention, concern and inspiration,

your humble servant,

Raman Reti devi dasi says goodbye.

HpS - Thank you!!!! The Encyclopedia Britannica says that Lord Caitanya was a 'religious epileptic'. So funny. Hmmm. Maybe Raman-reti Devi Das, Madhu-mangala et al are actually covering their intense spiritual ecstacys with medical excuses. Hmmf. Epilepsy, old age, they are both good chances to exam the body and understand how to use for Krsna, even in the next life. Super success with your Sankirtan. Krsna may be preparing you for a big battle.

Hare Krishna dear Gurumaharaj,

Please accept my humble obeisance and gratitude to you, again and again.

All glories to Srila Prabhupada!!.

While visualizing you to the extend [extent] that our limited perceptual capacity allows us and appealing to your kind and compassionate nature, [we actually have a very selfish demonic nature but by Srila Prabhupada's intense love it is under control and diminishing] we write this as another attempt to approach you.

It is like a mischievous dog after wandering and sniffing around got its muzzle smashed; then, it runs, looking for its master for safety and when it is almost nearby, it crawls towards the master carrying a straw with its teeth along with remorse and embarrassment.

HpS - Sounds like a Bengali dog, Rupa Goswami's dog.

PLEASE FORGIVE me GURUMAHARAJ, due to my rebel attitude, false ego and pride I kept myself aloof from you, starving myself from your direct protection (looking at you from a distance and wishing to be close to you = self-inflicted pain). Please Gurumaharaj help me to COME BACK AND TAKE SHELTER AT THE SHADE OF YOUR LOTUS FEET FOREVER. I don't want to be away anymore!!

HpS - ... and Narottama Das Thakur confesses that he is lower than the Jagai and Madia. I feel that I probably have the same attitude toward Srila Prabhupada in so many ways.

This is a public confession of my mistake = faults.

HpS - Not public, this Blog is only comprehensible to members of the Anjana Suta Academy, a pioneering branch of ISKCON.

Due to your compassionate, practical and visionary nature, one of your instructions to all of us is, to write and contact you using this Blog. There are many reasons for it; mainly, everybody can derive benefits by reading your responses to ours letters; yet, out of false ego, pride and selfishness I dared not to follow your instruction and questioning its validity; excusing myself by saying 'THE BLOG BLOCKS ME', alleging the need for confidentiality (what the heck, Madhumanjari?).

HpS - As far as I can understand, the desire to be an intimate associate of Guru and Krsna can have two elements: Pride and Natural impulse. We remember Srila Sanatana Goswami writing that... every cowherd boy thinks that he is KRSNA's closest friend, and this bothers him... "How can Krsna deal with me like this??? There are so many other boys greater than me, who love Him so much more than I do?".... So he thinks, "I am Krsna's closest friend!?!", and Sanatana Goswami says, "By the nature of the internal potency it is a fact".

So this is a reality. You, me, we ARE Krsna's closest friend. Srila Prabhupada's closest associate. Sikhi-mahiti's sister was one of the 3-1/2 closest associates of Lord Caitanya (try and top that), but as a Sannyasi she never got within smiling distance of Him. Iskcon is OUR movement. Its health and success depends on us.

... but material desire for fame (I am worse than you {I am the most fallen, Ha! Ha! Ha!}) also motivates us to be a 'special disciple of Guru/Krsna. Of course, that very stewpid desire keeps us from becoming and intimate disciples, gotta keep sweeping it out.

This is GURU-APARADA. I have offended you again Gurumaharaj and deprived myself from your guidance and protection, putting myself at risk. Please forgive me Gurumaharaj!!!. I am really sorry!!

Despite of my offences, there is a bit of spiritual consciousness in me, which is there only because of you Sir, you care for us (your disciples), you hold us all alive. I give witness of that.

In spite of my stupidity, the thoughts of you, remembering your example of dedication, service and surrender to Srila Prabhupada, your selfless and intense preaching, by remembering your compassion and forgiving nature, your purity and transparence in your dealings with devotees and people in general, your knowledge, witty and wisdom, your all encompassing and visionary approach to spirituality, your humble and meek attitude, your firm conviction and faith in Srila Prabhupada's books, your deep faith in the Holy Name - Maha mantra HARE KRISHNA, your taste for chanting and remembering Krishna, your creativity and out of the box view of life and death, your constant effort for taking care of us (your disciples) in a personalized manner. The remembrance of all these and more gives me the strength to face my weakness of character and to surrender to you.

What a great fortune!!!

HpS - AGTSP who can use devils as instruments to deliver a pure message.

Due to causeless mercy, we have the great fortune to have you Gurumaharaj as our spiritual master. It is only because of you that we can have the opportunity to be engaged in devotional service, giving real meaning to our existence and be part of Srila Prabhupada's movement (with all that that implies) - ISKCON (Srila Prabhupada's offering to his spiritual master Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Thakura). It is because of you that we all eventually will go back to KRISHNA. For all these and more, THANK YOU SO MUCH GURUMAHARAJ!!.

Gurumaharaj, I pray to you, Srila Prabhupada and Krishna that this attempt to follow and please you, it should not remain just as an attempt rather it should become a constant attitude and a fact.

It seems that this became too lengthy. Sorry Sir.

HpS - It is O.K. It is in English! (😎) Good English.

I planned to write you about many points, but got stuck with this important one; thus, now there is another reason to push me to write you soon.

Please forgive me for all my offences and kindly bless me.

Thank you Sir.

Your aspiring servant

Madhumanjari dd.

HpS - Thank you for giving us some perspective on how to go ahead in our own relation to Krsna and Guru. Honestly we face challenges. Because we are taking this role of Diksa guru for Srila Prabhupada we should comment that we have been able to follow the four principles since before initiation. Of course, in the beginning there were so many bad dreams and etc, but that goes away. However, until death lusty thoughts will not go away, as long as we have this Western body. We get 16-rounds done.. well... but so often have to catch up from day to day.

We have confidential confession from so many disciples about their very unfortunate falls into Maya, but we always remember what we read, that Rama told Laksmana: There is no mistake we can make that we cannot correct.

If we pay for the murder of cows to be served as beef we have to approach them and apologize and compensate for the damage we have done to them until they are happy with us.

Thank you! I think you have done pretty well. At least 65%, maybe 95%. Like you say we have not been too much Siksa guru for your good self, but that is O.K. if you have been taking advantage of others eg. Devamrta Swami? Anniruddha Das? ... Diksa is keeping the link by 16/4. We are your servants!! AgtSP! Next letter.
