[KDPC] Blue baboon Birthday party.

5 years, 9 months ago by laksmana-agraja in Personal Sadhana Reports

Hare Krishna, dear Gurudeva. Pamho, AGTSP

This little letter, just to tell you that I'm fine. This quarantine has served me well.

  • My Sadhana is fixed.
  • I read more, study more, listen to more classes, I give more classes, seminars.
  • I finish my rounds before the 6am gayatri.
  • And I can enjoy the day with freedom. I can chant extra rounds when I go out or have some free time.

This pandemic has also served to appreciate the association with devotees. With some friendships have been strengthened and I have had the opportunity to make more devotee friends.

I have also had the opportunity to relate more and better to my family. I have been able to offer more Prasadam and talk more about important issues.

We recently opened our Forum Cinema on Sunday nights. We watch movies with some good content. The other day we saw a good movie called "God is not Dead." This has given us the opportunity to exchange ideas.

ASA - Yes, we also promote Spiritual Cinema Night!!! Eg. Saturday. Free popcorn (with lots of salt) and drinks $2.00 ea! (😎)

For my birthday we saw "The Breakfast Club", about some boys who remain in detention on Saturday at their school. You can appreciate the concerns of young people and thus improve our vision to deal with them.

I send you two photos:

A cake that my sister made with much affection and I offered it. The other time for Sita navami I occupied her in service and she made a beautiful cake for Sita devi. I send another photo of my preparation for the Brahmanas. Lately I only interact physically with a Brahmana, to whom I will offer some chocolate brownies (carob) that came out very good. I have also learned to cook very tasty things for the Lord and take advantage to distribute Prasadam to my family. Especially my niece who became a vegetarian a while ago and cook for her too.

I was just reading something from the Diary of a Traveling Preacher from Indradyumma Swami that seemed appropriate to the date. Her son said to him: "You have lived a full life. Even if you were to die today, you would have nothing to regret. ” It made me think. One day closer to death. Can I die satisfied today? I think not, there is so much to achieve, to do… And Maharaj continued and said: “I have not been able to understand the mercy that the Lord has given me. Having my spiritual master, the holy names, the association of the Vaisnavas… those gifts are to share with others. ”

That is my brief report, for now.

Heavy subjects, another day.

Thanks for everything Gurumaharaja.

ASA - Oink! Whoop! Whoop!!!!

Any news of your fiancee! What's happening in Chosic, A Different Kind of City? Temple??

What about Cervantes and Vyasa?

After consulting with local devotees...

Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada

Jaya Gurudeva!


After having carefully read and re-read your responses to me and after having spoken with Dayanidhi prabhu, his wife Vrindava Vilasini mataji and a fixed up Vaisnava couple about my situation and your responses, I think I have something of an understanding of my position and how to move forward.

I am chanting my rounds. It seems to be the consensus that I am following the four regulative principles well. I believe that I am meeting 16/4.

HpS - You are in a group that occupies probably less than .001% of the worlds population! Special Dude! Thank you!

I also know that to stay stable I need the regular association of the devotees and some service. Chanting in my back yard, reading alone and listening to pre-recorded classes is simply not sufficient.

ASA - Awk!

Due to the virus, the details are not clear, but I am continuing to talk to Vrindavan mataji to find a way forward. I need to turn my feeling of fear and shame into humility.

HpS - Maharaja Bharata became and ANIMAL. At least we are walking on two legs!!!

I have also been advised that ending my current relationship is likely to cause more problems than it would solve. I think that I need to make sure that there is plenty of warm, fresh prasadam for my partner to honor so he doesn't have the room to eat out or consume unclean things. I also need to get him more association with my devotee friends here. I think in this way I can work to purify our relationship. There is also a small service that he may be able to use his talents (computer engineer) to help the temple. There is hope for him.

ASA - Don't feel pushed to help out of fear! Krsna will help you. What appears like losing material resources, usually is so that Krsna can give us better resources! Help out of abundance!

I am engaged in ongoing dialogues with trusted grihastas to work out the specifics of my ashram.

It is my sincere hope that I have understood your instruction and have somehow used it to chart an acceptable course forward. If I have erred in my comprehension or application of the advice I have received, I humbly ask that you would correct me.

Your servant,

Nityananda-rama dasa

HpS-ASA = As the Black Doctor told Janis Joplin, "Honey, you doin jus fine!!". Of course she killed herself... but hey this is not a small deal! Turning Kali-yuga Karma into Goloka Bhava!!!! Right now you seem to be doing very, very well!!!!! Gonna be good resource for so many people.

你的中文学习怎么样

The devas revolt!

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

Gurumaharaja, the presiding personalities of the cellphone networks seem to have decided to cause havoc. There are nationwide service outages and Southern California has been hit. As soon as my phone is working again hopefully I will see your message, but at the moment my phone is little more than a very expensive parrot chew toy.

Your servant,

Nityananda-rama dasa

Edit 9:07 am 6/16: Phone is back! I have whatsapp installed but I have not received a message.

I have also attached a photo of Sri Sadbhuja Mahaprabhu

HpS - Jaya! Then we talked by Whatsapp etc.!

KDPC Misericordia para los más caídos

5 years, 9 months ago by YugalaKD in Personal Sadhana Reports

HK PAMHO

Querido Guru Maharaja, espero que su garganta este mejor,

quisiera correr llevándole la medicina.

Estamos en Chosica sirviendo a Radha Madham Bihari, somos pocos los que hacemos de pujaris de cuarentena.

Pensaba, por qué estamos ahí, y llego a la conclusión que los baños sagrados en el dham, kundas, Yamuna, Ganges, hicieron su efecto y tampoco deseamos ser el rey de la papa, o la presidenta del vaso de leche (en los colegios pobres se reparte vaso de leche). Queremos servir libres de motivaciones personales hasta nuestro último respiro, con las habilidades que Krsna nos ha dado.

La misericordia es para los más caídos, es un hecho. Nos sentimos muy afortunados y felices, es un tiempo muy bueno para mí. De crecimiento, de tranquilidad, Krsna revela muchas cosas, y las picaduras de moscos las podemos esquivar. No nos afecta. Quería saber, si le llegaron las preguntas del capítulo del Srimad Bhagavatam. Si podemos seguir ayudándole en ello.

Entonces pujari, clases on line de SB, enseño Bhakti Sastri, tenemos muy buena asociación, lecturas, maravillosas clases de todas partes del mundo, creemos que podemos morir felices.

Muchas gracias por su permanente asociación e instrucción.

Su hija que lo adora:

ASA - Muy bien!!!! https://monkeywarrior.com/detail/11272/ .... Que significa "KDPC"

Todas las glorias a Srila Prabhupada.

Todas las glorias sean a usted. 

Por favor acepte mis reverencias a sus pies de loto.

ASA - Pies de Loco! TlgaSP!

Espero que al momento de recibir esta carta lo encuentre muy bien.

HpS - Ha! Ha! Ha! HA! Eso es el mundo material, no? Es loco, no? Kali-yuga, canibalismo, mo, mo!!! "A place of distress". Yet, there is one good thing ......

Ante todo disculparme por mi falta de comunicación, estoy conciente que se encuentra con muchas ocupaciones y no quiero ocupar un poco de su tiempo.

HpS - Gracias, pero es bueno oir de Vd!


Quisiera comentarle que mi sadhana estaba atravesando un mal momento, no encontraba inspiración, y eso me ponía triste. Sentía que estaba perdiendo el gusto de cultivar mi conciencia.

HpS - If we lose our enthusiasm we can always find it in our intelligence. Sit down and think who you are and what you should be doing. Read and get intelligence. Be happy.

Pero eso últimamente a cambiado, encontré inspiración en devotos que predican en el programa de Krishna West en chile y argentina. 

Realmente me siento muy feliz de poder cantar mis rondas con mayor entusiasmo por las mañanas y aprender día a día más del conocimiento entregado en el SB y BG. 

HpS - Jaya!

Me encuentro muy activo especialmente en el programa de Argentina, armando junto con el líder un club de lectura del Mahabharata, simultáneo al programa de BG que dicta los viernes.

También me encuentro cursando por plataforma zoom, un curso de discípulos facilitado por Iskcon Buenos Aires, deseó poder profundizar como mejorar mi servicio a Usted, Srila Prabhupada y al Señor Caitanya.

 Solo me queda recibir sus instrucciones, sin ellas, estoy perdido.

Me resta agradecer por su gira en Sudamérica, en especial Argentina, sus clases son agua en este desierto.

Si sirviente y bienqueriente.

Bhakta Ever

HpS - Jaya!!!!! Krsna West-(South- East).... Make Krsna smile!!!!

Hare Krishna maharaja

Por favor, acepte mis más humildes y respetuosas reverencias

Todas las glorias a Srila Prabupada

Quisiera contarle un poco acerca de mi presente.

Este año 2020, me propuse cantar las 16 rondas todos los días, y gracias a Krishna lo estoy logrando. A veces me quedan algunas que las recupero al otro día…

HpS - No deseas nada mas! La perfection de la vida si siguien los 4-principios simultaneamente bajo la autoridad de Srila Prabhupada!


Siguiendo lo 4 principios bastante bien.

HpS - Jaya! La bruja está gruñendo y rechinando los dientes.

No intoxicación (solamente tomo mate), alimentación estricta lacto-vegetariana desde hace ya varios años, ofreciendo los alimentos. No juegos de azar. Tratando de seguir celibato pero es difícil. No estoy casado y no estoy en pareja en este momento. No creo que mi posición sea la de un brahmacari, pero en este momento es lo que está pasando.

HpS - Ahh! 80% por 100%. La Bruja aun esta luchando, pero si continua va a ver que sus apegos disminuen....

Desafortunadamente, aún no sé cuál es asrama correcto y sincero para mí. Qué posición (brahmacari o grhasta) beneficia de mejor manera mi evolución espiritual...

HpS - Brahmacari para un tiempo para apreciar el placer ilimitado disponible en la plataforma tracendental, y entonces Grhasta, maybe para dejar los detalles de apego del corozon. Puede ser casado con Santa Rosa de Lima.

El camino espiritual hacia Krishna siento que marcha bastante bien.

Gracias a Krishna, en el barrio donde vivo hace poco tiempo comenzamos a utilizar el salón del "Radha-Krishna Mandir" y eso ayuda para regular mejor los horarios. Mangala arati con los devotos y japa grupal.

También “Bhagavatam sanga” cada 15 días (actualmente canto 3 capítulo 28). Mi servicio es grabar audios de cada capítulo para que los devotos puedan escuchar.

También repasando los cantos 1 y 2 de SB.

Cursando Bhakti Sastri online en “Cultura del bhakti”. Actualmente capítulo 7 del Bhagavad Gita.

También el curso de discípulos con ISKCON Buenos Aires.

Con los devotos del barrio la idea es juntarnos semanalmente a cantar kirtan e invitar gente de la zona.

Mi servicio, como me dedico a la distribución de los libros de Srila Prabhupada, es invitar gente y llevar una base de datos de las personas invitadas, seguimiento, etc.

Realmente, desde que conocí a Srila Prabhupada (y a Krishna y a los devotos, hace poco más de 4 años, mi vida cambio mucho. Siento que ahora mi vida tiene un sentido.

Gracias maharaja por el contacto.

Un saludo afectuoso

HpS - Adelante. Pronto puede seguir todo pefecto. Es como un bebe esforzando caminar. Cayendo, cayendo, pero su trasero es gruezca, entonces no gran problem y mama esta cerca [todas las glorias a las mamas!]. Y entonces caminando!
