Nitay Gauranga!  

Quarantine in Vrndavan. 

Dear Gurudeva

pamho AGTSP all the glories at your lotus feet that are REALLY THE ONLY way to get out of this stinking material world full of temporary desires,

HpS - We see that whatever determination we have is probably the mercy of Srila Prabhupada.

...for more attempts and strength I have it is useless to get out of here, but your blessings are the only way to make any progress on this path. 

I am in Vrndavan due to the miscerity of the Karuna virus and I have never felt so much in Maya like now 😆, the only thing that has made me stay in Vrndavan are your classes and your comments on the Vrndavan Mahimambrita of Purnamasi in his appearance (I don't know what it is called) of rest I only suffer for my ignorance. So since I can no longer travel with Harinama Ruci due to the current situation and I do not have a ticket to leave India, we are participating in the "Harinama Vrndavan" Group from Monday to Friday at 4 pm to 9 pm in the Vrndavan parikrama, On Saturdays we do FFL with my partner (planning to get married in November) if everything goes well with the blessings of the Vaisnavas, on Tuesdays a Namahatta Group and on Sundays Parikrama, we are also doing a series of 1 minute BG videos explaining each chapter From the BG, we go to chapter 3.

my rounds a chaos sometimes at 2 am sometimes at 4 am sometimes at 6 pm sometimes 3 days finishing them, I will be able and staggering devotional service cannot establish me firmly.

Beloved Gurudeva I always carry you in my heart, please humbly bless me to overcome all obstacles in devotional service, and not leave Vrndavan with more debts than I came,

I'm only suffer from mosquitoes, mosquitoes, 48 ​​degrees centigrade , skin allergies, and constant criticism of my mind, please bless me, (like that Gopi who prayed to Krsna that she would be homeless without food with incurable diseases, still she would not take a step outside of Vrndavan), I am very weak Gurudeva please humbly ask you to help me. Thank you for being my Guide. You are the best of this material world. 

from the bottom of my hard heart your would-be servant

Vrajendra Kumara Das. 

ps: now I know what the KD key is 😌😂😉 I am now fully following all his classes and KD, (I did not find Vrndavan Mahimambrita's book in Jayarama.com neither in English nor in Spanish 😣😣😔 )

HpS - jayarama.us ..... not .com. ....... Hm??

http://www.jayarama.us/archives/ and then look at the following links. The first has some Spanish transtions but I don't think much. The other are old and modern Microsoft word files. Just to sit in Vrndavana is glorious. Krsna!!! Krsna!!!! As long as we can breath we can chant.

thank you. Go ahead!!!!

Querido Gurumaharaja.

Por favor acepte mis respetuosas reverencias.

Todas las glorias a Srila Prabhupada! 

Si me permite por favor dedicarle unas cortas palabras de agradecimiento porque parece imposible evitar hacerlo, pido disculpas si robo un tiempo importante. 

Desde hace algunos años estoy reflexionando mucho en que cada vez que veo a Gurumaharaja parece más y más cualificado, es como el océano que parece no tener límite, tal como Srila Visvanatha Cakravarti Thakura nos dice. Esto es maravilloso, porque incluso alguien enceguecido como su aspirante puede apreciarlo.

Muchísimas gracias por enseñarnos a mantener la calma ante las calamidades, a entender la naturaleza del mundo material y a vivir siempre en una eterna conciencia de Krsna refugiado con tanta fe en su amado Srila Prabhupada, Su ejemplo literalmente nos arrastra de las constantes lamentaciones que no son dignas. 

Oramos humildemente al Señor Nrsimhadeva para que lo proteja y Su sankirtana continúe eternamente. 

Nuestras oraciones sinceras también para nuestro estimado y respetado Nitaigourasundara prabhu. 

Les dedicamos rondas pidiendo perdón por un canto descualificado. 

Tuvimos hermosos festivales desde Jhulan Yatra , en un momento la mente me dijo talves es mejor hacerte a un lado y limitar tu naturaleza a únicamente glorificar el servicio de los demás, pero de alguna forma Sri Krsna me arrastró una y otra vez en cada oportunidad y terminé a cargo del maha abhiseka de Radhastami!! : ) ha sido increíble Gurumaharaja !!! Una gran oportunidad para las madres pujaris que están haciendo servicio en el altar en estos tiempos, 12 pujaris haciendo un poquito cada una y de forma organizada pues había que aprovechar tal oportunidad, parecían como las asistentes de las asistentes de las asistentes de las gopis... 

Todo esto gracias a Su infinita misericordia de aceptarme formalmente en el hermoso ISKCON que amamos con sus aciertos y sus desafíos, si por mis ofensas una ola de este grandioso océano me arrastra hacia afuera apelo (por mi tontería) que venga otra y me arreste adentro porque el pez tonto moriría afuera, esas olas de rescate siempre serán su ejemplo e instrucciones. 

Eternamente agradecida

Vuestra eterna aspirante a sirviente

Dear Gurumaharaja.

Please accept my respectful obeisances.

All glories to Srila Prabhupada!

If I can please say a few words of thanks because it seems impossible to avoid doing so, I apologize if I steal important time.

For some years now I have been reflecting a lot that every time I see Gurumaharaja he seems more and more qualified, it is like the ocean that seems to have no limit, as Srila Visvanatha Cakravarti Thakura tells us. This is wonderful, because even a blind person like your aspirant can appreciate it.

HpS - It seems that all of us, if just stay in this movement, by the great power of Srila Prabhupada we become detached from mater and our hearts become flexible. So of us are making progress faster than others.

Thank you so much for teaching us to be calm in the face of calamities, to understand the nature of the material world and to always live in an eternal Krsna consciousness taking refuge with so much faith in your beloved Srila Prabhupada, Your example literally drags us out of the constant lamentations that are not worthy.

We humbly pray to Lord Nrsimhadeva to protect you and His sankirtana to continue eternally.

Our sincere prayers also for our esteemed and respected Nitai-goura-sundara Prabhu.

We dedicate rounds to them apologizing for a disqualified song.

HpS - Thank you. I am sure it will mean a lot to him!! I just talked to him. He was better the last two days, but is little worse today?? Eternal pastimes. Life outside the Cinema.

We had beautiful festivals since Jhulan Yatra, at one point the mind told me maybe it is better to step aside and limit your nature to only glorify the service of others, but somehow Sri Krsna dragged me over and over again at every opportunity and I ended up in charge of Radhastami's maha abhiseka !! :) It has been incredible Gurumaharaja !!! A great opportunity for Pujari mothers who are doing service at the altar in these times, 12 pujaris doing a little bit each and in an organized way because they had to take advantage of this opportunity, they seemed like the assistants of the assistants of the gopis. ..

HpS - Sometimes Krsna seems to give us a little taste of what real life is like. Even if it is only mental pictures, what to speak of Bhava, it is better than any material experience, no?

All this thanks to His infinite mercy to formally accept me in the beautiful ISKCON that we love with its successes and its challenges, if for my offenses a wave of this great ocean drags me out I appeal (for my foolishness) that another come and arrest me inside because the silly fish would die outside, those waves of rescue will always be your example and instructions.

Eternally grateful

Your eternal would-be servant

I share some photos

HpS - The photos are so nice!!! Window on the spiritual world, but one thing a little funny. All the ladies look like very proper Arabian, Muslim ladies, with their faces covered.

Hare Krsna, Hare Krsna. Krsna Krsna, Hare Hare!!!!!! Hare Rama, Hare Rama, Rama Rama, Hare ......

Hare!

Hare Krsna Gurudeva!

AgtSP!

Agt Radha y Krsna!

I hope you are doing your best in all aspects.

HpS - ASA - Thank you, and the same to you!!

First of all, thank you very much for everything Gurudeva, your letters are like reading letters from a very close relative who is abroad.

In your last letter you asked me if I had more information about the first Christians, the ones I call the desert fathers, because that's what some call them.

They are not exactly the Koftos as I understand it, as the Desert Fathers were the first cloistered monks according to Christian history. The precursors of the monasteries as such, since apparently there were not before, of course ... they were the early days of Christianity. And surely the Koftos are descendants of these communities, or the base communities of those Christian times in those areas like Egypt, I don't know exactly that.

The desert fathers were hermits, and they isolated themselves imitating Jesus Christ in the desert, waiting for communion with God thanks to their Tapasias and devotion.

For me, what impressed me the most about them, as I read, is that they practiced continuous prayer of the heart, or a very similar method. They prayed to Jesus Christ, or mantra-like formulas, non-stop.

Statements like this one inspired me with great respect and admiration for those people or communities:

[... However, taking into account the nature of the prayer to Jesus, its origins can be discovered in the search environment of a continuous prayer that intensely seals the spiritual history of the first Christian centuries, particularly the pilgrimage of the Fathers of the desert. The common doctrine of primitive monasticism is the search for the ideal of continuous prayer. It is said of Saint Anthony of Egypt (c.250-356), who has gone down in history as "the father of monks" that he "prayed constantly, as he had learned that it was necessary to pray incessantly in private." The aspiration to incessant prayer is nourished by orientations like those of Saint Paul that exhort us to live "persevering in prayer" (Rom 12,12) and to pray "without ceasing" (1Thes 5, 17) ... ]

Here I leave the link of a pdf talking about continuous prayer, it´s ok; http://www.acharia.org/downloads/oracion_continua_corazon-2.pdf

The closer one gets to the original practitioners, close to some envoy or prophet, the more one realizes that the Vedic Vaisnava culture is the original source of all the water that falls on the world, not due to a material origin in time, that a lot of that too, but because this Vedic knowledge drinks water from the hand of God, Krsna, in person.

Really, if I think about it calmly, to this day, that due to the corruption, the influence of kali yuga, and the time itself that bundles everything when being moved by living entities, it is almost impossible to really see the teachings of Jesus Christ somewhere, or Muhammad, etc etc ... even Krsna ... and even Srila Prabhupada if we look at it closely. Therefore, it is as if Srila Prabhupada's quick preaching is really, without exaggeration or mythologizing, a true new global evangelization on the essence of the “perfect and private teachings” of the prophets or guides of all the religions on earth, previous at this time, that have been lost.

Srila Prabhupada was empowered to expand on earth again, to all places without distinction, in unison, this river of life, lost. I am fully sure of this statement.

Forgive such a long letter this time.

Have good days until the next letter, I'll see you on Twitter and blog every day.

Hare Krsna Gurudeva.

Haribolo.

P.D: How young you "happy hippies" were!!

HpS - Thank you! Here is a Text and Purport you might like??!! https://vedabase.io/es/library/sb/3/24/34/

Hare Krishna dear Guru Maharaja,

Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada.

As per your brilliant suggestion, yesterday we made a cake for NOI's anniversary (pictures attached),

HpS/ASA -- Jaya Srila Prabhupada. Maybe it will become more robust! Add more pages from having so much birthday cake.

. . . and offered it to the NOI copy that you signed for us many years ago. I also read the Sanskrit and English translations as you mentioned in the SB class.

HpS - Rupa Goswami, Rupa Manjari, must like that!

Guru Maharaja, after three years of being initiated, my dull self is finally beginning to realize the importance of strict Sadhana that you emphasize. A few days ago you mentioned in a class that getting up at 4 AM, FMP, chanting, morning SB class, and evening BG class are essential for all devotees, regardless of their Varna and Asrama. Then, if one is a brahmana, one has to do at least 1-2 hours of extra reading a day.

HpS - We heard Srila Prabhupada instruct a Temple President that no intelligent man (or woman (or thing)) would be happy without one hour of reading each day. An intelligent person needs to satisfy their mind with stories, reading, no?

I always tried to wake up early at 3:30 or 4 AM and it would happen for about 3 days of the week, and then I would fail for the rest of the four days. But recently, I have been trying to follow that instruction and by your causeless mercy, as I have no strength, I was able to wake up at 4 AM for 6 days of the last week and finish my rounds (there is still a lot of progress to make in controlling the mind) before the Bhagavatam class. I also am trying to listen to either Srila Prabhupada's class or another class on BG in the evening.

HpS - Radharani and the Gopis will give you your Super-girl cape in a few weeks if you keep this up! Then you can fly all over the world with Them fighting evil in the hearts of men! We are not joking (much [we are basically monkeys])!

My reading was also on and off before. For the first few months of the year, I read 30 minutes of Bhagavad-gita every day (with only a few rare exceptions) and finished reading it once, but then I stopped that when my Sanskrit course started. Now I decided that I should read something (whether a paragraph or a few pages) every day based on the workload I have from school.

HpS - Yes! Just read a little of CC before Mangala arati, Lilamrta during Prasadam.... Read little here and there regularly and you will become addicted.

In another class you mentioned that this is a Sankirtan movement and we all cannot just hear and be content. We have to spread the message to others. So I am trying to make a simple graphic containing a quote from Srila Prabhupada based on my reading for the day. I post them on my whatsapp status and some people look at them (though I am not sure if they read them :)).

HpS - If the same thing keeps happening again and again and again and agaain... and.... someone will notice it, no?

Guru Maharaja, how do we gain enthusiasm to follow the process strictly?

HpS - 'Tad gada mula hantri', NoI Three, no? How does a dry sponge become wet by being repeatedly plunged in the water? Watch it! Science experiment.

I also watched a cartoon of the three little pigs story to learn more about how to connect it with the modes.

HpS - For some like you, with which pig do you identify? What construction materials do you get from Home Depot? Who is the Big Bad Wolf in your life?

Guru Maharaja, I beg for your mercy that I may follow your teachings and Srila Prabhupada's teachings sincerely. The reason I wrote all of this is because I am a very dull-witted and fallen soul and I have no power to fight Maya other than your mercy. I didn't want to be bragging in any way, I hope it did not come through like that. I am only learning the basics of devotional service.

With heartfelt gratitude and appreciation,

your insignificant servant,

Sugopi Radha DD

HpS - We are still learning the basics. Hope we can help you a little is relating to Srila Prabhupada. We all continue as eternal members of his Sankirtana Party. Super respects to your esteemed Father and Mother and (Aunts and Uncles??).

You have joined a University with incredible heritage. I guess the Wikipedia article is correct.

Beautiful looking house.

Hare Krsna Maharaja!!

Acepta por favor mis respetuosas reverencias ....AGTSP !!!!

.-Maharaja, como cada reporte empiezo a contándole de mi sadhana,4 principios y 16 rondas ,desde hace más de 2 años canto 4 rondas más que lo hice como voto y las canto durante el día,ahora se hace un poco más pesado el terminar...

.-Ya Goura Nitay está en el altar ,siguiendo lo que me dijo,les ofrezco incienso,fuego,agua,flor,pañuelo, perfume,tratando de conservar siempre puntualidad y limpieza,como usted me dijo,las despierto con dulce y a las 4.30 AM me conecto al fmp y mientras cantan yo hago el aratik y a media día les ofresco lo que haya cocinado,siempre con un dulce y a las 6.30 pm leche.

.-Tuve la oportunidad de hacer algún servicio en las fiestas para Radha Madana Vihari,mucha felicidad para mí .

.-Sigo el curso de Bhakti Sastri ,hice un ensayo sobre el 1 capitulo del Bg y las razones de Arjuna para no pelear,esto me llevo a pensar muchas cosas de mi vida ..... Y pude ver cómo en muchas ocasiones es el sentimentalismo lo que nubla la razón y por más que nos dicen que no somos el cuerpo y se acepta en teoría ,pero cuando debo vivirlo enfrentarlo no es tan fácil. Tambien quedé pensando ,en el Bg se dice que Krsna ya había decidido matar al bando opuesto (los kurus,duryodhana) ,el ya les había dado muerte ,por el hecho de haber ofendido a su devoto y solo usaba a ARJUNA como un instrumento y eso lo aplique a mi,dándome cuenta que cuántas veces me pasaron cosas y si salían bien yo tontamente pienso...... ES PORQUE YO ASI LO QUISE!!!! Y en realidad es Krsna quien así lo dispuso ,siento tanto tiempo perdido luchando con la mente y el cuerpo para vivir una mentira ,una vida no real..... Cada día pido porque a pesar ,del apego a la familia, las personas que quiero ,la aflicción y tristeza que esto genera,siempre sea conciente de Krsna y acepte su voluntad, de que todo pasa porque el así lo quiso y es lo que me corresponde ...

.-Pero todo lo que me corresponde por karma, ¿Es Lo Que Krsna Quiere?...

.-Mi lectura va en el BG cap 9 ,el krsna Book cada noche y estoy leyendo otra vez los libros pequeños.

.-Agradezco mucho poder participar y tener su asociación en el fmp ,en las clases ,el poder participar me motiva e inspira mucho para mejorar mi servicio,mis rondas,mi entendimiento.

Siempre agradecida por haber conocido la Conciencia de Krsna,a Srila Prabhupada y a Usted Maharaja..

Hare Krsna Maharaja !!

Please accept my respectful obeisances .... AGTSP !!!!

.-Maharaja, as each report I begin to tell you about my sadhana, 4 principles and 16 rounds, for more than 2 years I chant 4 more rounds than I did as a vow and I sing them during the day, now it becomes a little heavier finish...

HpS - Siempre ua desafilla! Es la Yajna mas fuerte, pero el resultado mas fuerte tambien!

.-Goura Nitay is already at the altar, following what he told me, I offer them incense, fire, water, flower, handkerchief, perfume, always trying to keep punctuality and cleanliness, as you told me, I wake them up with sweets and at 4.30 AM I connect to the fmp and while they sing I do the aratik and at midday I offer them what I have cooked, always with a sweet and at 6.30 pm milk.

HpS - Espero hay un foto de Ellos fin de esta carta

.- I had the opportunity to do some service at the festivals for Radha Madana Vihari, much happiness for me.

HpS - Probalmente para Ellos tambien. AgtSP

.-I follow the course of Bhakti Sastri, I did an essay on the 1st chapter of Bg and Arjuna's reasons for not fighting, this led me to think many things about my life ..... And I could see how many times it is sentimentality clouds reason and even though they tell us that we are not the body and it is accepted in theory, but when I have to live it, facing it is not so easy. I was also thinking, in the Bg it is said that Krsna had already decided to kill the opposite side (the kurus, duryodhana), he had already killed them, for having offended his devotee and only used ARJUNA as an instrument and That applied to me, realizing that how many times things happened to me and if they turned out well I foolishly think ...... IT'S BECAUSE I WANTED IT SO !!!! And in reality it is Krsna who arranged it, I feel so much time wasted fighting with my mind and body to live a lie, a non-real life ..... Every day I ask because despite my attachment to family, people What I want, the affliction and sadness that this generates, always be aware of Krsna and accept his will, that everything happens because he wanted it that way and it is what corresponds to me ...

HpS - Un libro tan fuerte, no? Y SB, CC, solamente son mas detalles, mas detalles!!!!

.-But all that is due to me by Karma, is it what Krsna wants? ...

HpS - He has his plan. His servants, like Srila Prabhupada, have their plans, but they all, also want to know what is our plan!! We are little, but we have some potency!

.-My reading goes on BG chap 9, the Krishna Book every night and I am reading the little books again.

.-I am very grateful to be able to participate and have your association in the fmp, in the classes, being able to participate motivates and inspires me a lot to improve my service, my rounds, my understanding.

Always grateful for having known Krishna Consciousness, Srila Prabhupada and You Maharaja ..

HpS - Donde esta su residencia? Chosica? Relacionada con La Yugala-kishora Dasi!!! Otros?

HK Pamho, Guru Maharaja quisiera que pronto viniera para ayudar en alguno de sus eventos, será pronto?

Estoy sembrando semillas espero que pronto den fruto, un jardín sin flores o frutos es triste, me parece pecaminoso no embellecer la tierra, deseamos que todo florezca, amo la belleza de la creación. En algún momento deseamos servir en el pujari y ahora a diario lo hacemos, una vez por día, es un buen ritmo nos da tiempo para otras actividades. Nos consuela, recordamos Vrndavana, con los pujaris nos asociamos, la mente está ocupada y satisfecha.

Estoy llevando un curso breve de educación TTC 3 on line, nos da entusiasmo. El encierro a veces nos sume en ignorancia y siento que me estoy acostumbrando a la soledad, y me estoy volviendo ermitaña, más de lo que soy, como algo impersonal, sabemos que Krsna nos lleva como el viento, ahora estamos aquí, mañana no sabemos.

En una clase donde Ud. mencionaba que estar en Vrndavana le dio tiempo de pensar y recordar porque se volvió devoto y lo que deseaba hacer. Me ocurre algo así, no me basta con tener techo y pan, o servicio. Espero que la soledad clarifique y nos permita entender como servir.

Las fiestas nos tuvieron bajo presión, a veces nos cuesta cantar, un año raro, de introspección y podemos descansar, tener paz. Mientras organizamos el pujari, las profesoras de colegio siempre piensan en orden, planificación, limpieza. Esperamos ayudar lo mejor que podamos el tiempo que Krsna nos lo permita.

Por favor sus bendiciones para el servicio actual y el futuro.

HK Pamho, Guru Maharaja would like you to come soon to help in some of your events, will it be soon?

HpS - ASA -- TlgaSP!! Pienso por hyper media y no con cuerpo burdo! Possible proxima anyo vamos a Peru para un anyo?

I am sowing seeds, I hope they will soon bear fruit, a garden without flowers or fruits is sad, it seems sinful to not beautify the earth, we want everything to flourish, I love the beauty of creation.

HpS - Nuestra deseo tambien! Abustio de rosas! Arbol de peras!!

At some point we want to serve in the pujari and now we do it daily, once a day, it is a good rhythm that gives us time for other activities. It comforts us, we remember Vrndavana, we associate with pujaris, the mind is occupied and satisfied.

HpS - Vd es una de las mas afortunadas personas en el universo. Mas que Donald Trump... !

I am taking a short TTC 3 education course online, it gives us enthusiasm. The confinement sometimes plunges us into ignorance and I feel that I am getting used to loneliness, and I am becoming a hermit, more than I am, as something impersonal, we know that Krsna is carrying us like the wind, now we are here, tomorrow we do not know.

HpS - Si, experiencias muy interesante. Pienso solucion es cambio de modo de vivir. Hector Bejar, su companero de baile, tambien piensa la misma. Pero que lastima! Vamos a dejar esta tierra, esta pais, pronto, entonces predica donde estamos.

In a class where you mentioned that being in Vrndavana gave you time to think and remember why you became a devotee and what you wanted to do. Something like this happens to me, it is not enough for me to have a roof and bread, or a toilet. I hope that loneliness clarifies and allows us to understand how to serve.

HpS - 👍

The festivals had us under pressure, sometimes it is difficult for us to sing, a rare year, of introspection and we can rest, have peace. While we organize the pujari, the school teachers always think in order, planning, cleanliness. We hope to help as best we can for as long as Krsna allows us.

HpS - Alumnos virtuales! Esta bien!!

Please your blessings for current and future service.
