Agt Radhe Syam!!!

Agt Nimai Nitai!!!

Jay Srila Prabhupada!!!

Hare Krsna Gurudeva!

I hope You had a happy birthday from Balarama.

HpS - Also hope Lord Balarama had a Happy Birthday!!

I wish You all the best in Krsna consciousness, and that You are doing your best.

I just wanted to tell you that I am very well. My rounds very good. Advancing very well in Krsna consciousness. Very happy, and I believe tt this is exclusively the merit of the association by the holy names.

ASA - Su SU S U P E R!

I don't have much to tell you, and what I would like to tell you I cannot say here because it would be politically incorrect, except that people are looking for their own ruin by living as they live.

All the hours that I am conscious I recite internally or externally the holy names, or some holy name. This is the same as the first Christians, the desert fathers, or like the real Sadhus or Babajis.

At this moment in my journey, it is being a good complement for the rounds, and above all, for meditation on the objective of the rounds ... the why.

Honestly, I'm ashamed of people and how they behave, and I see it impossible for them to have a good ending.

I would like to tell you a lot of things, but I think it would be artificial at the moment.

...Oh, I have read the entire SB, without meanings, and it has been a very different experience, I imagine that especially for those who are familiar with the teachings of SP, if not it is perhaps a bit disorienting.

I wonder if the timelessness of this SB recitation is Sukadeva Goswami's sting. I don't think Suta Goswami would have recited it so out of chronological time but for Sukadeva Goswami.

I think it helps to understand that this universe is outside the laws of time ... for advanced, of course.

My humble obeisances, Gurudeva.

I remember a lot about you and me at the Vrndavan Parikrama. One of the best things that has happened to me in life, without a doubt.

At your feet, and greetings.

Hare Krsna.

HpS - Thank you.

Some information about Desert Christians in antiguity, no? Have to dig through some of the infomation to find the valuable. Have any other sites? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Copts

Querido Gurumaharaja.

Por favor acepte mis respetuosas reverencias.

¡Todas las glorias a Srila Prabhupada! 

Hace poco hablaba con mi esposo sobre la grandeza de Srila Prabhupada, él vino a esta parte del mundo en el momento correcto, no antes cuando era más joven, no después, el Occidente necesitaba de aquel sabio de edad justa que demostraba tanta sabiduría y potencia en sus palabras, toda una vida de preparación para satisfacer a su Gurudeva; los malestares, mareos y ataques al corazón en el Jaladuta no fueron más que enseñanzas de como se sirve al maestro espiritual en medio de las dificultades... es un humilde razonamiento. Nos gustaría saber su apreciación por favor. 

Me siento muy agradecida con Usted Gurumaharaja, porque por su infinita misericordia puedo intentar ser parte del glorioso ISKCON de la gran personalidad Srila Prabhupada, aquel ISKCON que Srila Prabhupada visualizo un día, aquel ISKCON que nunca fue pequeño para Su Divina Gracia.

Muchas gracias por sus esfuerzos de cada día por mantenernos en la práctica espiritual, soy sentimental y a veces me preocupa mucha actividad de Su parte para nosotros, sin embargo sé que Usted irá equilibrando lo necesario, tal como él médico dosifica la medicina al paciente, Usted es el maestro y por acá su tonta discipula sentimental.

PEDIDO

Realmente mi intención en esta carta es implorarle por favor si nos puede compartir su ofrenda de Vyasa-Puja 2020 de Srila Prabhupada. 

Seríamos muy bendecidos! 

Gurumaharaja, por otro lado, el Templo de Ciudad de México ya está abierto al público en general bajo un protocolo de sanidad del gobierno, hay un cupo límite de asistentes, uso obligatorio de cubreboca, gel, distanciamiento etc. 

Hemos celebrado Jhulan yatra, estuve a cargo estos 5 días de atender a Radha Krsna chotas y sus variados arreglos para tal pasatiempo, gran misericordia una vez más este servicio, ahora en medio de la pandemia a sido una gran bendición.

Ayer en el festival de Sri Balarama varias patrullas circulando y supervisores acercándose al Templo, es muy cierto que los devotos son como gatos : ) difíciles de organizarlos a cada quien en un lugar. Nos informaran cómo serán los próximos festivales.

Hubo propuestas de que se celebre los festivales con austeridad pero también pujaris que desean que no se deje de ofrecer lo máximo posible a las Deidades haciendo el mejor esfuerzo, en este festival una vez más Su Señoría Mandan Gopal ha demostrado que El es quien provee a través de sus sirvientes con variedad de flores, más de 108 ofrendas de bhoga, abhiseka, un gran pastel y buen varuni. 

Sacinandana y Arya Srestha prabhus están apoyando mucho en el templo.

Prabhu Tejasvit ahora es el nuevo encargado del Templo ( aclaró que no es el presidente) 

Que Sri Nrsimhadeva nos proteja en estos intentos por servirle. 

Muchas gracias por su generosa atención .

Vuestra eterna aspirante a sirviente

Asta Sakhi dd.

Dear Gurumaharaja.

Please accept my respectful obeisances.

All glories to Srila Prabhupada!

Recently I was talking with my husband about the greatness of Srila Prabhupada, he came to this part of the world at the right time, not before when he was younger, not after, the West needed that wise man of just age who demonstrated so much wisdom and power in his words, a lifetime of preparation to satisfy his Gurudeva; the discomforts, dizziness and heart attacks in the Jaladuta were nothing more than teachings on how to serve the spiritual master in the midst of difficulties ... it is a humble reasoning. We would like to know your appreciation please.

HpS - We read Lilamrta from vedabase.io almost every day and we cry at how much mercy, effort, blood, srila prabhupada gave to make this movement grow. then it could reach many people including you and me.

I feel very grateful to You Gurumaharaja, because by your infinite mercy I can try to be part of the glorious ISKCON of the great personality Srila Prabhupada, that ISKCON that Srila Prabhupada visualized one day, that ISKCON that was never small for His Divine Grace.

HpS - We feel that Srila Prabhupada is 99.9999% pulling us. We try too little to help.

Thank you very much for your efforts every day to keep us in spiritual practice, I am sentimental and sometimes I worry about a lot of activity on Your part for us, however I know that You will balance what is necessary, just as the doctor doses the medicine to the patient. he is the teacher and here his silly sentimental disciple.

ORDER

Really my intention in this letter is to implore you please if you can share with us your offering of Vyasa-Puja 2020 from Srila Prabhupada.

We would be very blessed!

Gurumaharaja, on the other hand, the Mexico City Temple is already open to the general public under a government health protocol, there is a limited number of attendees, mandatory use of mask, gel, distancing, etc.

We have celebrated Jhulan yatra, I was in charge these 5 days of attending to Radha Krsna chotas and his various arrangements for such a pastime, great mercy once again this service, now in the midst of the pandemic it has been a great blessing.

Yesterday at the Sri Balarama festival several patrols circulating and supervisors approaching the Temple, it is very true that the devotees are like cats:) difficult to organize each one in one place. They will inform us about the upcoming festivals.

There were proposals to celebrate the festivals with austerity but also pujaris who wish that they do not stop offering as much as possible to the Deities by making the best effort, in this festival once again His Honor Mandan Gopal has shown that He is the one who provides through his servants with a variety of flowers, more than 108 offerings of bhoga, abhiseka, a great cake and good varuni.

Sacinandana and Arya Srestha prabhus are supporting a lot in the temple.

Prabhu Tejasvit is now the new head of the Temple (clarified that he is not the president)

May Sri Nrsimhadeva protect us in these attempts to serve Him.

Thank you very much for your generous attention.

Your eternal would-be servant

Asta Sakhi dd.

HpS - ASA -- Thank you so, so, so much for the ISKCON Mexico news!!!!

Vyasapuja Offering

We offer our humble obeisances to His Divine Grace Srila A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada, author of the book, KRSNA: The Supreme Personality of Godhead, and Founder Acharya of the International Society for Krsna Consciousness.

Srila Prabhupada, we suspect that our attempts to illuminate your glories on your Vyasapuja day are like a candle trying to illuminate the sun. The flame just becomes invisible. On the other hand if we are allowed to consider the task like a fire-fly trying to illuminate some of the features of your lotus feet then we might be able to make a small contribution to today's activities.

When your divine grace was in Berkeley. California in 1975 we heard from your lips that anyone who chants the Pancha-tattva Maha-mantra and follows it with the Hare Krsna Maha-mantra has achieved the perfection of life, but if they wanted to preach they should probably read your books.

Then, when asked by a reporter what would happen to your movement when your divine grace died, you answered firmly that you would never die, you would live forever in your books.

These two statements are our life an soul.

Thank you.

We try to always be chanting Maha-mantra internally and externally under the shelter of your divine grace's lotus feet and over and above that read and preach from your books.

Now we read Caitanya-caritamrta daily before Mangala-arati, and it is 90% a novel experience for us. We understand it with so much more depth than before. We see that your divine grace's book is deep beyond our abilities to plumb.

Then after Mangala-arati we read and discuss a little with the devotees in Spanish. Before we were doing Nectar of Devotion, but now we are read a verse a day from the Light of the Bhagavata. We find the purports as direct truth, illumination, on such topics at Veganism, administration in ISKCON etc.

We keep a daily Srimad Bhagavatam class. Sometimes it is with an online group, sometimes local temples. We are integrating our study with the development of questions for the Bhakti-vaibhava diploma with your ISKCON Board of Examinations.

We cite your books from Vedabase.io and the concepts we have learned therein in our humble attempts to preach in the university, Jungian, world classical literature and interfaith communities.

They are the guide for devotees advancing from adau sraddha, sadhu sanga... to prema.

Thank you Srila Prabhupada. We feel we have always been a heavy load that you have had to drag forward in our purification, but we are experiencing practical advancement.

We hope that we can be a little, pleasing, grain of sand under your lotus feet, in the sandy path that is your ISKCON, helping your Sankirtan expand and expand and expand.

Thank you.

Your very fallen servant, Hanumatpresaka Swami

Hare Krishna Gurudeva 

Por favor acepte mis reverencias 

Todas las glorias a Srila Prabhupada 

Por la misericordia del santo nombre me he sentido apegada a cantar temprano mis rondas y ha conectarme con usted algunos días para hacer mangalarrik, todo esto hace que mis días sean más activos y felices, y de los sucesos tristes logre sobrepasarlos de la mejor manera.

He estado leyendo el segundo libro de Srimati Radharani ahora que lo traducieron al español. Tiene tantos pasatiempos de Satyabhama y Rukmini con Krishna que siempre quise conocer, no cabe duda que las cualidades de Srimati Radharani son ilimitadas, me sentido muy atraída y refugiada a ella últimamente. He extrañado mucho el santo dham, pero sobre todo el templo de Rādhā- Damodāra y Sri Radha-Kunda. Tengo muchas ganas de volver algún día, aunque me siento ya sumamente afortunada de haber podido estar aunque sea una sola vez, esos momentos viven en mi corazón.

Por ahora me encuentro escribiendo mi tesis de la universidad, respecto a temas como la migración y el arte. Y también haciendo cubreboca para vender. estoy por terminar un diplomado de educación en la Universidad de Anahuac, que me ayudo mucho a reforzar estrategias para dar clases de Arte. En el módulo sobre desarrollo humano, vimos una película llamada El estudiante, está en YouTube, https://youtu.be/KD5HXtRxf8M la he estado recomendando mucho Gurudeva ya que habla sobre las etapas de la vida humana, la adolescencia y el ser adulto, las pruebas y dificultades de la vida. Ocupando como base las enseñanzas de El Quijote de La Mancha, me hizo recordarlo mucho a usted y su prédica. En mi ensayo final concluí que, un adulto tiene la capacidad de resolver problemas y situaciones difíciles, pero que para la prueba más grande que es la muerte, las personas siguen sin tener la preparación adecuada y que solo la conciencia de Krishna puede brindar para lograr un desarrollo completo de la humanidad.

Le manda muchos saludos mi mamá, aún agradecida por haberme dado su refugio. 

Siempre mi mayor prueba será vencer al sueño, al capricho de dormir, vencer el embrujo. Y a qué mi memoria me falla para recordar versos, y leer más. Desearía hacer mejor las cosas y ser más experta. Pero no logro perfeccionar algún servicio aún.  Agradezco que por medio de la tecnología sea posible estar cerca de su persona tan ejemplar en las mañanas. 

Gracias por ser tan comprensivo, piadoso y paciente conmigo. Sin su refugio sería muy difícil Gurudeva. Oro porque su salud siempre se encuentre bien 🙏

All glories to Srila Prabhupada

By the mercy of the holy name, I have felt attached to singing my rounds early and connecting with you for a few days to do mangalarrik, all this makes my days more active and happy, and I manage to overcome sad events in the best way.

I have been reading Srimati Radharani's second book now that it has been translated into Spanish. She has so many Satyabhama and Rukmini pastimes with Krishna that I always wanted to know, there is no doubt that the qualities of Srimati Radharani are limitless, I have been feeling very attracted and sheltered to her lately. I have missed the holy dham very much, but especially the temple of Rādhā-Damodāra and Sri Radha-Kunda. I really want to go back one day, although I already feel extremely lucky to have been able to be even once, those moments live in my heart.

For now I am writing my university thesis, regarding issues such as migration and art. And also making a mask to sell. I am about to finish a diploma in education at the University of Anahuac, which helped me a lot to reinforce strategies to teach art. In the module on human development, we saw a movie called The student, it is on YouTube, https://youtu.be/KD5HXtRxf8M I have been recommending it a lot Gurudeva since it talks about the stages of human life, adolescence and being an adult , the trials and difficulties of life. Based on the teachings of Don Quixote de La Mancha, it made me remember you and your preaching a lot. In my final essay I concluded that an adult has the ability to solve difficult problems and situations, but that for the greatest test which is death, people still do not have the proper preparation and that only Krishna consciousness can provide to achieve a complete development of humanity.

My mother sends her many greetings, still grateful for having given me her refuge.

My greatest test will always be to overcome sleep, the whim of sleeping, to overcome the spell. And why my memory fails me to remember verses, and read more. I wish I could do better and be more expert. But I can't perfect any services yet. I am grateful that through technology it is possible to be close to his exemplary person in the morning.

Thank you for being so understanding, compassionate and patient with me. Without his shelter, Gurudeva would be very difficult. I pray that his health is always good 🙏

HpS - Thank you for sending fotos (!) but use the Protocol for Letters described in the Kapi Dhvaja or our Sub-human Mail Clerks will send your letter to Timbuktu.

Chant all the time!!!!!

Dear Gurudeva

Please accept my humble obeissances, all glories to Srila Prabhupada!

I think you asked your disciples should write you letters very frequently. So, I am understanding that I've been failing so much on this. I am ashamed!

HpS - Once a year at least in the Disciple Report, but other than that it is nice every few weeks or as things progress.

How are you? How is your health? I heard you in some online class, and I thought you were in good health.

HpS - Go to jayarama.us/news.html

I'm very happy to contact you again!

HpS - I am happy but to here that you are happy makes me VERY happy also.

Tomorrow you are giving lecture for Bhakti-sastri students from Ecuador, I am one of them, so tomorrow we'll meet you there!

HpS - Did you join the class?

About sadhana still I am having difficulties with my rounds, I did what you said, (to write down as a debt the rounds not finished every day) and worked well, but then again I forgot to write them down... I have to start again with this.

HpS - Yes, otherwise you will become Indra in your next lifetime.

I am a little committed to my work, this is giving difficulty, but at least the good point is that I am understanding that it's not that I don´t have time, but I don't have proper organization and productivity (for Krishna).

Still we are organizing the sunday feast for Medellin devotees (we were doing it until the "plandemic" started). We rented a place in the center of the city. That was a small success, and more devotees were coming. Like 10-12 devotees and guests every sunday.

When the virus crisis started, then we started to give every day class in the evening by internet for Medellín members. Still today we are doing it, every day. And that is being a super good experience, devotees and guests are learning very fast, and taking very seriously the sadhana and the practices. I think that was a huge discovering for congregational preaching.

HpS - And you can mail Prasada to each other?

The fact that they are participating every day becomes a strong connection with other members of the congregation and gives them strength and enthusiasm to practice the sadhana.

Also we have one special guest one day every week, until now we had the visit of HH Bhakti Sundar Maharaja, HH Bhakti Prabhupada Vrata Damodar Maharaja, and HH Yadunandana Maharaja. Please also we would like to invite you, of course, to share with us one meeting. Maybe you can contact me by Whatsapp +573046044200 to speak details on this.

Maharaja I feel like my preaching is some kind of independent from your desire, your personal service. Should I do something different? Should I change something?

Your humble servant

Jambavan das

HpS - Please read the Kapi Dhvaja at the above link! That will give you all the answers and connections for your next step with ASA!!

Thank you.

Dear Guru Maharaja

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

HpS-ASA -- AgtSP!!! Pamho... -[;o]/\___

I came across the attached painting yesterday and immediately thought of you. I think you might like it. It has the entire leela of Hanuman delivering the ring to Sita. It was painted by a famous artist from Chennai called Keshav. You might know him.

HpS - No..... my loss.

I have uploaded the DTCs in google drive that others can download from here - https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/11EPWsm3vFp9WmKMOsw7EXLhexnazc3Dt?usp=sharing

HpS - The paramhamas can extract milk from water! It is a media experiment for us. How to preach? How to do Sankirtan? Srila Prabhupada was experimenting with new forms always.

I was not sure about distributing it to others. You can delete the link if you feel so. They are incredible.

We are chanting our rounds and following the principles.

HpS - Thousands of homeless dogs sleeping in the street thank you. When we are "chanting our rounds and following the principles" the whole world benefits. Chant with your lips, brain, heart!!!

In our daily reading we are reading SB 4.7. Divya and I really like reading together and it has become an activity we like doing together. In Saturday SB classes when we read the 9th canto, there were many chapters about family lineage. I was not very interested in knowing the names. But when we went through the same in SB 4.1, it was as if I knew those people. I was eager to know Devahuti's family after reading so much about her in the third canto.

ASA - Yes! It is a fact, no? Each time we go through it, it becomes more know to us. That will happen eternally, no??

By your mercy, we are getting a little taste for reading Srimad Bhagavatam. We are enjoying reading Srila Prabhupada's purports and are able to understand a bit too.

We will be completing NoI in the Bhakti Sastri program in the next 2 weeks. I am learning so much running this program both in terms of knowledge of scriptures and also dealing with devotees. We started with 20 students and 2 students dropped out, which I think is no so bad. It is taking a lot of my time and energy, but I like doing it.

ASA - 10% drop out is great.... the result is eternal, 'nehabikramo naso sti...'

I have been listening a lot recently and I can genuinely feel that my perspective of Bhakti has widened. I had a very narrow view of how things should be done, probably due to my upbringing. But now I think I am understanding things from a deeper perspective. This podcast between Caitanya Caran prabhu and Hari Parsada prabhu titled Intellectual diversity in scriptural understanding was especially enlivening - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X9AvIEF7JlU.

The temple is still closed. Nanda Braja prabhu and family are here. Janmashtami and Vyasapuja are going to be online. But luckily, my service in the temple is on Wednesdays and Vyasapuja falls on Wednesday this year. I'll get to do Prabhupada's guru puja arti if no one pulls rank on me :)

The process seems to be working although there are so many more things I need to work on. It is only by your mercy that I am able to perceive it. Thank you so much Guru Maharaja for everything you do for us.

Your servant

Srinatha Krsna dasa

HpS - Thank you!!! We prepare to the Friday presentation through Youtube for Nashville yatra. If you just go on like this Srila Prabhupada says we will become preachers on the level of Narada Muni. .

Hare Krishna dear Maharaja !

Please accept my respecful obeisances...

All glories to Srila Prabhupada!

I just hope you are in good health or the best as is possible.

ASA - Do cockroaches have good health? Does Lord Brahma have cholera? ? . ?

I'm writing to you regarding one of your answers, 5 weeks ago approx., when I sent an attempt from a Bhaktivinoda poetry's translation:

https://monkeywarrior.com/detail/11283/

You said: "Save copy of the poem. Maybe work on the translation more. You can also write another poem in Spanish based upon the ideas."

So, I wrote a new one with a new lyrics, more personal, but trying to keep the original spirit of what I felt Bhaktivinoda wanted to transmit, and keeping the same verse structure as Bhaktivinoda's original. It goes in spanish at the end of this message. Please, accept it as an humble offering in this special Balarama Purnima day (in fact, night: full moon is hanging on the sky right now).

ASA - Moon, moon in the Sky, Do you see witches flying by?

I want to take this opportunity and let you know that I'm so happy working for Solaris again, this is very very important for me in every sense. So, thank you so much for give this opportunity to me and letting me try serving you using my skills... you are so merciful... The dynamic duo is again in the house and little monkey is back! 

Thank you so much for everything,

all glories to Srila Prabhupada !

Hare Krishna!

Your aspiring servant,

Carlos.

HpS - ASA --- We have been run over by a herd of rhinocerous today. Maybe 1000 with pearls in their ear ring stampeded this way.

Seven people called on the tele phone. 42-were in class today, the Hawaii, ballet...

Now we will continue with our search for Sita. We are sending out drones all over the universe.

We hope your song travels just as far. We have a lot of ground to cover. Journalism is the devotees best service. !!!! Hari Bolo!!!! Hari Bolo!!

Bh V Tha wrote pages of song BOOKS, what to speak of songs!!!! So much to translate??



​Canto al Alma del Saragrahi Vaishnava (Oda a Bhaktivinoda Thakur)

1. ¡Qué pobres aquellos 

Que pierden sus días

En alborozo sin sentido y alegría festiva!

Consciencias ocupadas para siempre

Por formas venenosas de líquidos alcohólicos.

2. Estallidos de cristales sobre la calle 

Que brillan y hechizan el mirar

De quienes se sienten atraídos

Hacia el abrazo de licor perdido 

Y entregan el corazón;

Esclavos del vino que nunca ves superar

Lo que ha sido llamado desgracia y deshonor.

3. ¿Acaso estaría el hombre destinado a ser

Un bruto en su actuar y sentir?

¿Será esa la suerte del que finalmente creyó 

Ser el dueño de todo lo que le rodea?

¿Apartarse de la intuición y del sentido común?

4. La gloria del hombre tiene significado 

Cuando relata con gracia cómo alcanzar lo Divino,

El hombre está hecho para vivir y amar

Aquel hermoso abrazo que afirma desde el Cielo.

5. Vehículo de carne nuestra desgracia

Cárcel mortal que encadena

El alma, 

Por muy antiguos errores ha sido confinada

Y dentro de un cuerpo 

Debe intentar elevarse de nuevo.

6. ¿De qué sirve este juego infantil?

Nunca ganamos, nunca disfrutamos,

Realmente nunca lo alcanzamos...

Y decae dentro de cien años

Una rosa marchita que se lleva el viento.

7. Ni tan solo un rosado matiz queda

De esta y la otra vida 

Ir y venir, antes y después, 

Dentro y fuera del tiempo, para nada;

Alma solitariamente independiente se le ve pasar

Con el bien y el mal sobre la mente.

8. ¡Eco profundo se escucha rugir

La voz inmemorial del pensamiento! 

¡Qué feroz se ve su aspecto!

Envueltos en asombro divino 

Nosotros leemos los Libros Sagrados de la Naturaleza.

9. Para el hombre su vida es un problema oscuro

Cortinas y humo de izquierda a derecha

Y no se encuentra aquel alma

Que venga a decirnos 

Lo que existe más allá de nuestra vista.

10. Y entonces una voz, reconocida y tan profunda, 

Sentimiento que aparece intenso dentro de nuestro interior;

¡Ser Humano! ¡Eres un alma eterna!

La muerte nunca te podrá disolver.

11. Para ti, el Ser Supremo en lo alto 

Eternamente mantiene

Una reserva de felicidad, allá arriba,

Sin tiempo ni final; 

Tú eres el que anhela Su más puro amor.

12. ¡Oh mi amor eres Tú! 

Poder benigno que hechiza

Ahora derrito mi alma ante Dios

¿Cómo poder describir con palabras de la tierra

Aquel suave y expansivo sentimiento?

12. Disfrute, tristeza, 

¿Qué más de lo que hereda la carne?

El alma que duerme 

Finalmente concluye que puede participar.

13. Y entonces, mis amigos, para qué tal disfrutar

De qué lamentarse por todos los demás;

Las mujeres, el vino y la carne de las bestias,

No encontrarás ahí jamás el amor que anhelas.

14. Tu naturaleza es amar a tus hermanos

Y devolver tu corazón a Dios

Solo Él sabe que tu esfuerzo ha sido sincero;

Testigo cierto y claro.

15. Olvida el pasado que duerme

Y deja de soñar con el futuro

Actúa siempre en el tiempo donde estás

Y el avance llamarás.

16. No digas esas frías ideas sin razonamiento 

Que el alma se crea espontánea 

Y que será destruida;

Las inertes reglas mecánicas de la Naturaleza Material.

17. Solo el Ser Supremo entiende

Por qué nos dio la vida y todo

El alma puede extinguir

O conectarla con los placeres elevados

Su promesa eterna cumplir.

18. Así que tú, Alma, 

Empuja tus pasos hacia adelante

Lucha contra todo acto malvado 

Odio y Lujuria son sus soldados 

¡Haz de ser un héroe de verdad!

19. Mantén tu posición original 

En el mundo espiritual

Tan firmemente como puedas 

Nunca dejes que la ilusión te derrote

¡Aguanta alma héroe!

20. Alma del Śaragrāhi Vaiṣṇava

Tú eres el ángel más hermoso

Tú que guías,

Guíame a Vrindavan

Y dime el poder de Su espíritu.

21. Allí mi alma descansa 

Una vez libre de la materia 

Sobre los brazos infinitos de mi amante

Paz eterna y amor trascendental

Son la magia de mi canto.
