All glories to Srila Pabhupada

Excuse me for not connecting to all the programs, we have been with several changes, the country was an hour early and the deities returned to the temple on September 4, the same day I was my birthday.

HpS-ASA --- Hare Krsna!

Also, due to the curfew in the country, now the program starts at 5.30 AM. I have as a fixed service in the temple cooking to the deity, in addition to other online services such as the magazine. I feel loved and appreciated by the devotees, that reassures me, knowing that I have people who support me.

ASA - Like the warm salty hands of the waves of the deep foaming ocean!

Thanks to his mercy I have been able to maintain my sadhana of getting up at 2.00 and it has been like a medicine for my life, I don't need to take a nap if I fall asleep early (20.30). I calmly sing my rounds and I can better organize my life, everything has become cleaner, clearer and more orderly.

HpS - Soon you will be ready to join Rommel in the Africa Corp!

I am more sure of myself and with greater peace of mind. As for reading, he began to take what he said in a class; for certain times people it is good to read briefly several times a day and it works. Sometimes it is a bit difficult because of the services, but it is better for my limited capacity. I have some intellectuality, but also a lot of passion to create and organize things, I like that.

ASA - New songs, new drama, for the thousand dancing eyes that look along the path as Krsna and his friends and cows return in the evening light!

Yesterday I did the 8th reading of the birth chart, it's quite a lot, I know, I think the 9th will be done by me, I would like to study astrology, Ayurveda, etc., to be a counselor and guide people.

He told me that my nature is quite brahminical, especially in the communication aspect, everything that has to do with the use of the voice and the intellect. It was Daru Krishna prabhu who did the reading and I was impressed by his work. So, broadly speaking, I can already understand that my nature can be turned on the one hand in the artistic and commercial area (buying and selling) and on the other hand being a counselor, advisor, and perhaps specializing in being a leadership coach.

ASA - ... and plucking fruits in the forest of Vaja with Subal.

From time to time I think a lot about traveling. The plan was to travel at the end of this year. I don't know what will happen and I await your instruction for it. On the one hand, it would be good to stay and help in the temple for a while longer. The target locations are Spain, India and the United States. In Spain I would come to Vrajamandala with Yadunandana Swami, we have already been talking for more than a year about my visit there. Prabhu Amara made contact with Kamala Lochana prabhu from India, he agreed to teach me about administration. He is co-chair in the Miraroad India Temple. He said that I can accompany him to preach in India and there teach me about administration and devotional service. On the other hand, I would like to be in the United States and visit Pyari Mohan das, I have not been able to have an answer to my proposal to stay serving in his yatra and learn about administration with him in Connecticus (maybe he will teach me a magic trick). What do you suggest I do? I was thinking of traveling to Spain first, then India and finally the United States, but I know that you would like me to travel to the United States, so if you want I can go there first, as you wish. Or do you want me to travel to another place? I know I am getting ahead of myself, with the pandemic the whole plan changed.

I wish you can guide me.

My obeisances Gurudeva Thank you for everything you give us daily.

His Clown Piyari mohan das

HpS - ASA - Yes, does seem to be ahead of ourselves. Now there can be no plan of travel beyond our villages. Start to preach in the neighborhood. Start a periodical for the neighbors.

Todas las glorias a Srila Pabhupada

Disculpe por no conectarme a todos los programas, hemos estado con varios cambios, se adelantó una hora en el país y las deidades volvieron al templo el 4 de septiembre, el mismo día en que estuve de cumpleaños. Además, debido al toque de queda en el país, ahora el programa comienza a las 5.30 AM. Tengo como servicio fijo en el templo el cocinar a la deidad, además de otros servicios online como la revista. Me siento querido y apreciado por los devotos, eso me tranquiliza, saber que tengo personas que me apoyan. 

Gracias a su misericordia he podido mantener mi sadhana de levantarme a las 2.00 y ha sido como una medicina para mi vida, no necesito tomar siesta si me duermo temprano (20.30). Canto tranquilamente mis rondas y puedo organizar mejor mi vida, todo se ha vuelto más limpio, claro y ordenado. Estoy más seguro de mi mismo y con mayor paz mental. En cuanto a la lectura comencé a tomar lo que dijo en una clase; para ciertas personas es bueno leer en momentos breves varias veces al día y funciona. Aveces es un poco difícil por los servicios, pero es mejor para mi limitada capacidad. Tengo algo de intelectualidad, pero también bastante pasión para crear y organizar cosas, eso me gusta. 

Ayer me hice las 8va lectura de la carta astral, es bastante, lo se, creo que la 9na la haré yo, me gustaría estudiar astrología, ayurveda, etc, para ser consejero y orientar a las personas. Él me dijo que mi naturaleza es bastante brahminica, sobre todo en el aspecto de comunicación, todo lo que tiene que ver con el uso de la voz y el intelecto. Fue Daru Krishna prabhu quién hizo la lectura y me impresionó su trabajo. 

Entonces a grandes razgos ya puedo entender que mi naturaleza puedo volcarla por un lado en el area artística y comercial (compra y venta) y por otro lado ser un orientador, consejero, y talvez especializarme en ser coach de liderazgo. 

De vez en cuando pienso bastante en viajar. El plan era viajar a fin de este año. No sé que va a pasar y espero su instrucción para ello. Por un lado sería bueno quedarse a ayudar en el templo un tiempo más. Los lugares en mira son España, India y Estados Unidos. En España llegaría a Vrajamandala con Yadunandana Swami, ya hemos estado hablando hace más de un año sobre mi visita allí. Prabhu Amara hizo un contacto con Kamala Lochana prabhu de India, él accedió a enseñarme sobre administración. Él es copresidente en el templo de Miraroad, India. Él dijo que puedo acompañarlo a predicar por India y allí enseñarme sobre administración y servicio devocional. Por otro lado me gustaría estar en Estados Unidos y visitar a Pyari Mohan das, no he podido tener respuesta de mi propuesta a quedarme sirviendo en su yatra y aprender sobre administración con él en Connecticus (tal vez me enseñe algún truco de magia). ¿Qué sugiere que haga? Pensaba viajar a España primero, luego India y al final EEUU, pero se que a usted le gustaría que viajara a Estados Unidos, así que si usted quiere puedo ir primero allá, cómo usted desee ¿O quiere que viaje a otro lugar? Sé que me estoy adelantando, con lo de la pandemia todo el plan cambió. Deseo me pueda orientar. 

Mis reverencias Gurudeva

Gracias por todo lo que nos entrega a diario.

TlgaSP! Si estuvimos leyendo su carta!! Muy bien. Esta vd trabajando como abogado? Puede comunicar unas ideas a sus asociados profesionales.

Hare Krishna Maharaja, please kindly accept my most humble obeisances; all glories to Srila Prabhupada; all glories to Lord Chaitanya's sankirtan movement; all glories to your devotional service!

I heard that you will have been tested for Covid 19. My first thoughts were "please Krishna, kindly protect him." But then I thought "how silly. Krishna always protects His devotees." We all know the body will die; this is Krishna's first instructions to Arjuna, and Srila Prabhupada's first message to all of us.

I recently learned of a godbrother who passed away: Sriman Anadi Krishna dasa prabhu. Not having a Facebook account, I don't know anything about the details, and when I last looked on a couple of other devotee websites, I didn't notice any write-up about him. I felt some shock to learn of his passing, as we joined together in Denver, we were initiated together, along with two other godbrothers. I felt sadness when I saw a picture of Anadi Krishna lying dead at his moment of passing. I thought of my own inevitable passing to come, as I often do these days.

I dread the mistakes that I have made over the years as a devotee, knowing that I will have to account for them; I sometimes cry during my sadhana because of those mistakes, not knowing my fate. I somehow always felt that I would be lucky to die young, but here I am still alive, still getting older, and still making the same mistakes: still not learning any better.

I often wonder how my own demise will happen: my wife and I both think of "who will go first;" not all the time, but often.

Well, needless to say, "I didn't get the job as TP." And although it didn't come as a surprise, still, it made me unhappy, because I felt (and still do feel) that I could be of valuable service to this community if I did. And my false ego won't allow me to settle for a lesser position.

We have a nice new Bhaktin renting with us, as well a nice young lady with great potential for devotional service, having been a vegan since she was 6 years old, she said.

I gave her a Bhagavad-gita along with some other small books, and she even attended one of my online classes, although I don't feel very qualified to speak. I do have 2 online classes that I have been holding on ZOOM.

One is merely a power-point presentation on the 5 subject matters of Bhagavad gita, with one night a week dedicated to each topic. The other class is more structured, following the curriculum of VIHA North America.

HpS - AgtSP! What is "VIHA"?

I have 5 students, and maybe these 2 new tenants may also join, although I can't say just yet. My sadhana has been mostly steady, sometimes rising by 4 AM, but sometimes I oversleep until after 5 or 5:30 even.

My wife and I feel very fortunate that Krishna has finally allowed us to rent out our rooms to devotees and potential devotees: it has generated a nice mood of rejuvenated enthusiasm in our home.

I beg you, with all the humility that I am able to command, please bless us, that we may not forget Krishna at any moment. It is not always so easy to remember Krishna when Maya says "look at me, look at me!" and I pretentiously look away, and like what I see. And even though we are getting older, and we can see inevitable death approaching closer and closer, my mind is still attracted to sense enjoyment, because I am still attached to the body. What will be my fate when death comes? Hare Krishna.

Your lowly servant,

Sriman Balabhadra dasa

HpS - Jaya! So nice to hear from you! So nice. You are doing just fine. Try to make little progress here and there. Eventually you will find a chink in Maya's prison walls and be able to make big progress.

Please send more news like this!

We publish the Kapi Dhvaja especially for our friends and leaders like you. You have always been and example for us. Thank you.

Hope your tenants become teachers!

Hare Krsna Dear Gurudev,

  Please accept my humble obeisances at your lotus feet.

  All glories to Srila Prabhupada.

  All glories to Guru parampara.

  we enjoy the gayatri a lot. if my concentration

  is good and deep then we want more to be there, can i double the gayatri?

HpS/ASA - No, not today.

your fallen servant,

Girivaradhari-Gopal Das

Por Favor acepte mis humildes y respetuosas reverencias Gurudeva.

Todas las Glorias a Srila Prabhupada y al Movimiento de Sankirtan de Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu.

Gurudeva sigo distribuyendo libros, Bhagavat Gita, Ciencia de la Autorrealización, Viaje al Autoconocimiento, revistas y Mahaprasad.

Este es mi principal servicio devocional todos los días.

También realizo puja a Sri Sri Radha Madhan Gopal, bañar, vestir, despertar, ofrecer bhoga, dormir etc.

Mi esposa Marina tiene el servicio del departamento de guirnaldas hace un año y yo del departamento de pujaris por misericordia de S.S.Guru Prasad Swami.

Quiero pedirle permiso para dejar esta responsabilidad pues soy un Grhasta y el templo ahora hace 5 meses no me da ningún donativo. Pensando en el futuro necesito producir dinero para mi familia, quiero ir a predicar a otra ciudad. Por favor sea misericordioso conmigo para seguir distribuyendo libros como mi principal servicio a sus pies de loto. Su eterno e infernal Sirviente Sacinandan Das.

p.d. Krsna no escucha mis rondas pues mi voz es muy espantosa..

HpS - Sudama Brahmana era us Grhasta, pero viviendo muy pobre, y Kolavece Sridhara, tambien. Sacci/Maraina los desprovistos de dinero! Pero enrquicido sin limite en riquezas espirituales.

Hmmm. Pero, Draupadi y Arjuna fueron summamente ricos. Tuviernon palacios de marmol y oro en Hastinapura. Tivierno hermanos y co-esposos. Pero,,, ellos tambien sufriendo. Sin nada en el bosque.

Ayi de mi, Que lastima.

Si, como Grhasta es natural buscar ingressos. Si puede hacer for Sankirtan, su futuro va a ser super brillante! Va ser Indra en su proxima vida con un GRAN corona y Mariana va a ser Saccidevi, esposa de Indra!

Cantando Japa-nama en cuetas de perlas!!!

Que quiere Krsna que hazte??

Ganar dinero aparece bueno.

Relacionar con devotos, 16-buenas rondas, 4-principios estricas !!!!! Va tener inteligencias como realizar sus asuntos cotidianos.

Esperamos oir mas.

Utiliza el protocolo del Kapi Dhvaja, como enviar cartas aqui como no estan perdidos!!!!

Reverencias a todos. Reverencias a Madana Gopala y Radha!

All Glories to Sri Sri Gaura Nitay

All Glories to Srila Prabhupada

Hare Krishna dear Gurudeva, please accept my most humble and respectful obeisances.

HpS - Please accept ours.

Our sadhana is fixed 4:30 am, 16 rounds / 4 principles, personal reading of the NOD chap. 10 a beautiful book that I never finished reading, connects me more with devotional service and being able to better understand the relationship between devotee, service and krsna. Attention to the deities, silas, good ekadasis, 3 gayatris and fasts.

HpS - Jaya!

I'm sorry to say that my mind is very confused Gurudeva, every day I pray to the deities to help me, I am struggling with subtle things in my mind, but I have them under control and I do not want them to become gross, maybe I will do more fasting and channel my mind . We all have our own demons and I realize that the more enthusiastic I am in taking a spiritual vow, the worse it is and I sink into a black hole and depression comes where only I can get out.

Also training the body and mind with physical activity, running and doing 10 laps around the stadium, doing hatha yoga and prana yoga to control pita, my father trained me in sports since I was a child, especially in swimming and in college I competed and won some competitions and I have decided to resume my sports life. We are cooking rich and healthy for Krishna, we are gradually leaving the packaged bhoga, preparing our own cheese, breads, gee, etc.

We had closed Janmastami and Radhastami festivals with some close devotees in the Huancayo cultural center of M. Laksmirani, we cooked, we made turbans, garlands, we changed to JBS deities.

On the other hand, I am making turbans for some JBS deities of a mother, painting my deity Nrshinja, sowing, enlarging the garden, we have sown carnations, sunflowers, roses, and some infusion herbs, we put some tulasi seeds.

We have turned the earth for the sowing of this year, the products that we will sow will be; corn, beans, peas, pumpkins, vegetables, squash, potatoes, a friend of the tractor driver named Jesus told us that the best way to plant ecologically without using insecticides and pesticides is to plant several things at the same time to protect themselves from diseases, that's what the ancestors of this area have done. Some drops of rain are appearing, we are happy to see everything green again. I am going to reread the light of the bagavata to connect more with God and nature, but sometimes it makes us very sensitive in every aspect.

Her association and that of the devotees is wonderful every morning, helping us to be awake and enthusiastic to sing our rounds.

I have the great desire to go to India, and to be prepared both physically and mentally, and above all with a good spiritual conscience, every time I have had the money for the passage, including vaccines and passport, the trip has been postponed, no I know why, but now I am struggling to make this spiritual dream come true, I don't want to leave the body without knowing vrndavana, govardhana, mayapur, Navadwipa, etc. I think I would love the parikramas because I'm an inveterate traveler lol jejeje.

Dear Gurudeva, now that we can listen to you every morning, I feel more connected to you. And I thank you for your effort and dedication that you give to all of us, I am very happy to have you and Srila Prabhupada.

Hare Krsna, may Nrshinja protect him.

HpS - "...y me doy cuenta que cuando más entusiasta estoy en realizar un voto espiritual peor es y me hundo en un hoyo negro y viene la depresión donde sólo yo puedo salir." This sentence is not clear to us in Spanish or Engish??? Do you mean that when you take a vow of austerity then your mind becomes very depressed? Very interesting. Of course, we have to examine if there is some thing bad in the type of austerity we are doing or the purpose of the austerity.

We heard that Srila Prabhupada said that if we try to do the austerities that Raghunatha Das Goswami was doing, then we would be come sinful.

Chant more. Pray for intelligence how to increase the Sankirtan! Increase how people are reading the KRSNA book and distributing it to others!

How people are Chan Ting "Skc, PN, Sa, G, S agbv" ... .. "HK /// HR"!

Seems like you can do wonderful service for Krsna. You deities with your garden. Find ways to meet people and tell them what you know about Krsna from the BG and the SB!!!!!

Hare Krsna! Hare Krsna!!

Super fotos!!

Todas las Glorias a Sri Sri Gaura Nitay

Todas las Glorias a Srila Prabhupada

Hare Krishna querido Gurudeva, porfavor acepte mis más humildes y respetuosas reverencias.

Nuestro sadhana está fijo 4:30 am, 16 rondas/4 principios, lectura personal del NOD cap. 10 un hermoso libro que nunca terminé de leerlo, me conecta más con el servicio devocional y poder comprender mejor la relación entre devoto, servicio y krsna. Atención a las deidades, silas, buenos ekadasis, 3 gayatris y ayunos. 

Lamento decir que mi mente está muy confusa Gurudeva, todos los días oro a las deidades que me ayuden, estoy luchando con cosas sutiles en mi mente, pero las tengo controlada y no quiero que se vuelvan burdas, quizás haré más ayunos y canalizar mi mente. Todos tenemos nuestros demonios propios y me doy cuenta que cuando más entusiasta estoy en realizar un voto espiritual peor es y me hundo en un hoyo negro y viene la depresión donde sólo yo puedo salir.

También entrenando el cuerpo y la mente con actividad física, corriendo y dando 10 vueltas al estadio, haciendo hatha yoga y prana yoga para controlar pita, mi padre desde niña me entrenó en el deporte sobre todo en natación y en la universidad competí y gané algunos concursos y he decidido retomar mi vida deportiva. Estámos cocinando rico y sano para krsna, estamos dejando paulatinamente el bhoga envasado, preparando nuestro propio queso, panes, guee, etc.

Tuvimos festivales cerrados de Janmastami y Radhastami con algunos devotos allegados en el centro cultural de Huancayo de M. Laksmirani, cocinamos, hicimos turbantes, guirnaldas, cambiamos a las deidades JBS.

Por otro lado estoy haciendo unos turbantes para unas deidades de JBS de una madre, pintando a mi deidad Nrshinja, sembrando, agrandando el jardín, hemos sembrado claveles, girasoles, rosas, y algunas hierbitas de infusión, pusimos unas semillas de tulasi.

Hemos volteado la tierra para la siembra de éste año, los productos que sembraremos será; maíz, habas, arverjas, calabazas, verduras, zapallo, papa, un amigo tractorista llamado jesús nos dijo que la mejor manera de sembrar ecológicamente sin necesidad de usar insecticidas y pesticidas es sembrando varias cosas a la ves para que se protejan de las enfermedades, eso es lo que han hecho los antepasados de esta zona. Van apareciendo algunas gotas de lluvias nos alegra ver todo verde de nuevo. Voy a volver a leer la luz del bagavata para conectarme más con dios y la naturaleza, pero aveces nos vuelve muy sensibles en todo aspecto.

Su asociación y la de los devotos es maravillosa todas las mañanas, nos ayuda a estar despiertos y entusiastas para cantar nuestras rondas. 

Tengo el gran deseo de ir a India, y estar preparada tanto físicamente y mentalmente, y sobre todo con buena conciencia espiritual, cada vez que he tenido el dinero para el pasaje, inclusive las vacunas, se me a postergado el viaje, no sé porque, pero ahora estoy luchando para hacer realidad este sueño espiritual, no quiero dejar el cuerpo sin conocer vrndavana, govardhana, mayapur, Navadwipa, etc. Creo que me encantaría los parikramas porque soy una viajera empedernida jejeje.

Querido Gurudeva ahora que lo podemos escuchar todas las mañanas me siento más conectada a Ud. Y le agradezco su esfuerzo y dedicación que nos dá a todos nosotros, me siento muy feliz por tenerlo a ud y a Srila Prabhupada.

Hare Krsna, que Nrshinja lo proteja.
