Todas las Glorias a sus señorías Sri Sri Nitay Gauracandra

Todas las Glorias a Srila Prabhupada y a su sankirtana eterno

Hare krsna Gurudeva, Pamho, estamos aquí en Huancayo - Perú, las lluvias empezaron y con ello la primavera esta llegando, sembramos algunas plantas.

Nuestro sadhana 5:00 am., 16 rondas, 4 principios, 3 gayatris, atendiendo a las deidades de casa y bañando a las silas los días que me toca, una vez a la semana le hago turbantes con las flores que sembramos el año pasado.

En el día cocino en el Restaurante y le ofrecemos a las silas y a JBS pequeñas, nos reunimos 3 veces a la semana con 5 devotos para leer el Bagavad Gita.

Prabhu Jagad Bandhu Das estuvo por unos 3 días, hubo clase de bagavatam y bagavad gita. Hablamos sobre el proyecto "Club Gauranga", tenemos el deseo de hacer una base de sankirtana en la casa y hacer retiros espirituales esperemos a largo plazo se vaya dando, nos gustaría que ya empiece el proyecto pero tenemos que tener paciencia...

Por otra parte que debo de hacer con mi padre que es una persona muy autoritaria, el vive en ansiedad por sus propios deseos que tiene con sus dos hijos,  pero Gurudev deseo saber ¿cual es el deber de una hija para con su padre?

HpS - Para Kali-yuga, ser una amiga, y trata compartir la conciencia de Krsna con el acuerdo de la situacion.

Estoy viendo la película el Mahabaratha, me encanta mucho, estoy en el cap. 41 cuando aryuna rapta a subadra y Draupadi se encuentra con Subadra.

P. Gadai tiene una pregunta del Bagavad Gita; Arjuna fue puesto en ignorancia, ¿porque energía fué tocado, por yoga maya o maha maya ( energía interna o energía externa)?

HpS - Claro, Yoga maya. La energia interior, como Krsna puede predicar la BG para nosotros almas  condicionados.

Gracias por todo querido Gurudev, hacemos lo que podemos pero siento que falta algo en mi proceso, tratando de mejorar...

Nadiya Nivasi Dasi

HpS - Gracias su carta!    We are running very fast with the Sankirtan here in Chile and hope to write a report soon.

Todas las glorias a Srila Prabhupada. 

Por favor acepte mis humildes reverencias Gurudeva, por ahora llevamos bien nuestro sadhana (16 rondas 4 principios), hoy 26 de Octubre se presentó por parte del Festival Internacional de Santa Lucía "danza clásica de Manipur" y con mi familia presenciamos diferentes danzas y mi esposo recordó cuando viajó con usted a Manipur, al final conocimos al elenco y mi esposo habló un poco en manipuri con un músico del grupo de danza fue muy interesante, no tengo las palabras sobre mi experiencia pero fue increíble la oportunidad de apreciar en vivo la danza rasa de Manipur.

Mi esposo se encuentra muy bien de salud, él tiene diferentes proyectos de negocios y mantenemos el restaurante.

Mis pequeños hijos continúan creciendo y mi maternidad por ahora está muy bien con mis actividades de sadhana y trabajo diseño gráfico en mis tiempos libres en casa, continuo la lectura en las mañanas y cuidar y atender mi hogar.

Le agradezco su tiempo y cada dia en mis oraciones pedimos por su salud y bienestar, le anexo fotografías que tomé en el Festival...

hPs - ASA   - Increible.   TlgaSP.   Quien llevo las bailarines?????   Reverencias a todos.  Esta en ruta a Goloka.

All Gloris to Sri Guruji Maharaja, Sripada Maharaja and A.C. Prabhupada

Gouranga Mahaprabhu Ki Jay, Radha Krsna Ki Jay,

Goura Bhakta Vrinda Ki Jay

Guruji Maharaja! Dandavat Pranam,

Please accept my humble obeisances unto Sri Guruji Maharaja’s padmacharan that I had already informed to H H Haridasa Swami Maharaja and Sarda Gourangi D D about Gurujis tour programme in India. A final date will be suggested from their side and they will directly inform or write unto You or to me. In their openion the programme may be at Mayapur, it will be convenient of Guruji and all initiated bhaktas and matajis of N.E. States (Manipur, Silchar and Guwahati, Agartala) during Guruji’s stay at Mayapur.  Please suggest the convenient dates. We are eagerly waiting Gurujis Amritabani.

HpS - !!!!   <img alt="smiley" height="23" src="https://hps.monkeywarrior.com/sites/all/libraries/ckeditor/plugins/smiley/images/regular_smile.png" title="smiley" width="23" /> <img alt="smiley" height="23" src="https://hps.monkeywarrior.com/sites/all/libraries/ckeditor/plugins/smiley/images/regular_smile.png" title="smiley" width="23" /> <img alt="smiley" height="23" src="https://hps.monkeywarrior.com/sites/all/libraries/ckeditor/plugins/smiley/images/regular_smile.png" title="smiley" width="23" /> <img alt="smiley" height="23" src="https://hps.monkeywarrior.com/sites/all/libraries/ckeditor/plugins/smiley/images/regular_smile.png" title="smiley" width="23" /> <img alt="smiley" height="23" src="https://hps.monkeywarrior.com/sites/all/libraries/ckeditor/plugins/smiley/images/regular_smile.png" title="smiley" width="23" />      I think we will arrive in Maypura about  February 24th and then be working with Ministry of Education and GBC until March 6th. After that we can stay in Mayapura and associate with devotees, but Gaura-purnima is 21st March. So devotees will be coming before that and it will be difficult to get accomodations and other facilities. Maybe good to travel to some place in the Northeast. March 27th we have to be in Bombay!!

Last Sunday, the 14^th Oct. 2018 a book “Madanamohan” was released with a grand function with K. Shyam Singh, Cabinet Minister of Manipur State as Chief Guest, Prof. H. Tombi Singh, former V.C. of Manipur University and present V.C. of UBC as Guest of Honour and Principal of Jawaharlal Nehru Dance Academy preside the function. 

On 19^th Oct. the Tirobhava of Dr. T. D. Singh, Sripada Maharaja will be organized at ISKCON Imphal, Radha Krishnachandra Mandir. Some bhaktas and matajis from Thoubal will participate including me.

My personal sadhana is reading Bhagavatam regularly with reference to Gita and on Sunday or Holidays I read C.C.; BRS, NOI, NOD etc. following the four principles and 16 rounds of chanting.

HpS - !!!!  !   ! !!.

My family members are all fine. My wife is also practicing her sadhana regularly. My daughter who is working at Bangalore is coming home on the 2^nd Nov.  Her engagement will be during Nov. and probably the marriage ceremony will be in the month of Feb. or March next year. My son is living as it is without earning from any side. Please advice him through this block.

HpS - Canakhya Pandita says that poverty cannot stay where there is constant effort, ignorance cannot stay where there is constant recitation of the Vedas (SB) and sinful reaction cannot stay where there is constant chanting of the Holy Names.    So.....   your son should keep endeavoring for some productive position. If he sees that he needs more qualification, more education, more preliminary qualifications, then he should adquire them.   He should work to get work.

O.K.?       Of course, the Pandavas were un-engaged for 14-years in the forest. Krsna has His plans about our work.

Yours fallen servant,

Yamunesvara Das

HpS - What is the content of the Madan-mohan book?    What are you reading in CC??

HpS - Jaya!    Todas las glorias a Srila Prabhupada.  Su ayuda en Arrequipa era inestimable!!!    Como esta occupado?  Trabajo?   Estudios???    Cual es su Karma????

Hare Krishna dear Hanumatpresaka swami! Please accept my humble obeisances! All Glories to Srila Prabhupada!

I am very happy to have shared so many days with you in Spain. Thank you very much! You are a very special person, I hope to serve you and your mission to Srila Prabhupada. I have been reading El Cantar de los cantares and some sermons by Saint Bernard of Clairvaux. Wow! They are really moving writings! They go straight to the heart ...I’m doing a small project of sculpture of the university. It is conceptual sculpture, concept has more value than form. The requirement is that it must be a tetrahedron (a three-sided pyramid). I plan to represent the 3 aspects of the Absolute Truth in the 3 faces of the pyramid.

ASA - !!  https://www.vedabase.com/en/sb/1/2/11

The Brahman .. peace tranquility, inactivity, I think I will represent it with a light and a clear cloth above ... But I do not have it very clear. The Paramatma, is the guide, the partner who advises, I think I represent it with a blue traffic sign with white arrow. The arrow will point to Bahagavan, the personal aspect, intimate relationship with Krishna. ‘’ Kiss me with the kiss of your mouth ‘This is the most intimate thing you can experience ... Absolute sweetness. So I’m thinking of placing maha prasadam sweets of different flavors on that face of the tetrahedron. Thus the spectators can taste this sweetness, different flavors, different people. The purpose is to show an idea of ​​what the soul can experience in relation to the three different aspects of Krishna. In Brahman there is calmness and peace. The Paramatma accompanies you in the material world and instructs you. With the Supreme Personality of Divinity you can have face-to-face, intimate personal and sweet contact. It is a person, Krishna. So this implies activity, desire, communication. The act of eating a sweet maha involves the person in an activity in which he savors what Krishna has tasted with his lotus mouth. Is almost a kiss!

What do you think about it? It would be a correct presentation?

HpS - Super. The citation I gave is fundamental. Maybe even want to give the link to the Spanish source for your viewers.

I am singing 16 rounds, doing spiritual program in the morning at 5 am, mangala arati, japa, reading… Japa whith shehnai in the background. My sister likes to listen that so she approaches to sleep in the next room …. But for the moment does not dare to come to mangala arati.

In fotos: the pyramid, My mom and my sister, she is a dancer. My mom plays mridanga.:)

Hare Krishna, Arina.

HpS - Super!!!!   We hope you can be fixed and become formal disciple of Srila Prabhupada, ISKCON, very soon.

Dear Gurudeva,

Please accept my humble obeisances!  

I caught a glimpse & screen cap of the brochure that you shared in today’s class.  Ive been one of the many beasts in the field for so long that im worried that if someone was to open the door to the cage id fail to see that another option exists.  I am humbly asking you what kind of help could be of use to the goals you are working towards? 

HpS - Hare Krsna, Hare Krsna!!    We hope you have been having good association with Krsna. We are finally getting (taking?) time to answer some of the letters that we are getting. For example, right now, I am having pull away from conversations with Parama-karuna Das, Indira-shakti Devi Das, Gandharva Das and Abhirama thakura Das, to answer these letters. Both are necessary: Cyber talks and Goss Body talks!

"...what kind of help could be of use to the goals you are working towards". Our goal is to make Srila Prabhupada satisfied, enlivened. You can find so many ways to do that. Specifically we are working a lot with Carl Jung's followers. Have you read his biography, Memories, Dreams and Reflections with a Krsna consciousness eye?  You and your associates might like to read it together.

My other request is please ask the Lord that I be given the chance to constantly worship him with love, rather than remain a self centered nominal devotee that manages to do very little beyond what i had promised at the time of being accepted as your disciple.  Thank you for your mercy!

HpS - Haw!    Haw!!  Haw!!!   That's the trick.   If you just do what you promise to do at initiation you will become addicted to getting more and more of Krsna!

We will write a DTC now with you as part of the special audience.

hopeful to be of service,

Loka Bandhu Rama Das

ps-  i have no idea how the image from the last letter i sent became inverted,  apologize that i also dont know how to fix that :)
