Hare Krishna Guru Maharaj! All glories to Srila Prabhupada! All glories to Guru Maharaj HpS! Please accept our humble obeisences ...please

Thank you so much.....Thank you so much Guru Maharaj!!

In the last letter we wrote about HH Siddharth Swami Maharaj. We are sending a photo of Maharaj. Banamali Prabhu told us that HH Siddharth Maharaj was the head pujari at the Radha Rashbihari temple in Juhu way back in 1977 when Banamali began his training at ISKCON. HH Siddharth Maharaj is the temple president at Raigarh district of Chattisgarh at present.  Maharaj also talked fondly about our Guru Maharaj HpS. 

Yesterday , we had a wonderful Nagar kirtan. We are sending a photo....the onlookers are all Muslims and they have happily accepted Radha Krishnachandra prasadam. We feel so happy. 

In the month of July this year, ISKCON , Manipur will be organizing a series of lectures as a part of our preaching programme. It is an interactive value-based lecture programme for students and the school staff. Have been given the liberty to choose a couple of topics for the programme. Have chosen 'Positive Learning' and "Values and Ethics". Kindly instruct us for Krishna's pleasure dear Guru Maharaj.

HpS - Jaya!   One topic we use is: What is an Educated Man?

We are sending the photos of Our Silver armoured (plated) Nrshimha.....and the pond....

Thank you Guru Maharaj for the wonderful Mexico news.....we will try whatever we can to promote the pastimes of Govindaji through the dances.....we only need Guru Maharaj's mercy

We hope to hear from Guru Maharaj very soon.

Your unworthy servant,

Sarada Gaurangi DD

HpS -ASA   Thank you for your news.  We are in Houston and should be fixing your calendar for India with a few months. We will come in end of November or January and stay until beginning of March. The temple and your activities seem great. The magic will not be done by you nor me, nor any living being. The magic will be done by Krsna when we become pure devotees of Krsna!

I don't remember Maharaja!    Maybe we will meet him soon.

solicitamos su guía!

Hare krsna querido guru maharaj, por favor acepte mis reverencias, le deseo toda fortuna y bendición... deseo comentarle una situación que estoy viviendo, y humildemente solicitar su ayuda para mi avance espiritual...

HpS - ASA - AGTSP.   Paoho...  We will give what help we can!


...bueno aquí estamos en el templo de buenos aires, argentina, siguiendo sus pies y los de srila prabhupada... estamos asistiendo a mangal artik, cantando mínimo 16 rondas, saliendo a distribuir libros, saliendo a harinama-sankirtana, asistiendo a los programas de la tarde (gaura arati, clases de bhagavad-gita), dando clases de bhagavatam los jueves, y 1 ves por mes clases de bhagavad gita los jueves también, buscando el bhoga al mercado, la fiesta de domingo, sabado de maha-sankirtan 6 horas o más, lunes libre que no es libre porque siempre hay algo por hacer jaja, entonces para qué le comento todo esto... y es que si bien hay muchas actividades que nos permiten revivir nuestra conciencia de krsna latente, el cuerpo y la mente me hacen sentir agobiado. se que tengo un cuerpo de joven, pero tengo unos dolores de espalda muy fuertes, a veces me siento triste, agobiado, deprimido, porque hacemos tantas cosas que la purificación es tan fuerte que no aguando gurudeva... se que krsna explica que somos el alma, y que si a veces estoy triste, o sufriendo por diferentes cosas, es la mente la que sufre, pero el alma, que soy yo, no puede sufrir... a veces pienso en usted, en todas las cosas que debe hacer, y solo puedo decir que estoy a sus pies, pero necesito saber cómo puedo hacer para trascender las miserias del cuerpo y la mente y mantenerme feliz ejecutando las labores diarias del templo con entusiasmo... a veces hay dias en los que no leo nada porque hay muchas cosas por hacer, y eso me frustra... tambien por otra parte siento que me estoy purificando mucho, pues, por qué habría de sufrir si estoy en el proceso mas hermoso? y me respondo; estoy sufriendo porque tengo toneladas de anarthas que ahora, y solo ahora, porque krsna lo permite, ahora puedo ver. antes no los veia gurudeva, antes era yo y mis anarthas eramos uno, pero ahora siento que soy yo el alma eterna y sirviente de usted y de krsna, lidiando con la mente, con los sentidos, con lo anarthas, con las gunas, etc. entonces he comprendido muchas cosas, pero no he llegado a una realización profunda para poder sobrepasar esta tormenta. por eso recurro a sus palabras, que seguiré dando mi mejor esfuerzo, pues sinceramente, deseo avanzar, paso a paso, en esta vida he sido muy afortunado pues lo he conocido a usted, a los acaryas que son como el everest en mi vida, y que decir de krsna, radha, gauranga, nitay... que son mi vida y alma... en este momento una parte de mi esta cansada (cuerpo y mente) pero otra parte esta muy entusiasta y alegre, y haciendo nuevos proyectos, como reestablecer la fiesta de prabhupada (viernes o sábado), empezamos aqui bhakti-sastri también, tenemos programas inter-religiosos, etc... entonces krsna me muestra que lo que estoy viviendo es temporal, y que tengo muchas cosas por hacer, que todo es parte de su misericordia y que lo acepte. por favor deme su visión para dar un paso mas, de manera firme, y seguir los pasos de brahmacaris avanzados que me dan su ejemplo...

p.d: hace 2 semanas participamos en una presentacion de un libro de una mujer anciana favorable al templo que estuvo en india, ella hablo sobre el yoga y el misticismo de la india, entonces fuimos invitados a cantar el maha mantra y hablar un poco. por decision del grupo tuve que hablar, y estuvimos detras de el telon. cuando abrieron el telon y nos presentaron vi que habian cientos de personas y fue wow! senti el peso de hablar frente a muchas personas y estuve muy nervioso, me sudaban las manos y se me secaba la garganta... sentia una presion terrible sobre mi, pero krsna permitio que dijera lo necesario y justo para que la gente se sintiera comoda... cantamos y nos fuimos entre aplausos... en ese momento paso por mi cabeza las charlas que usted da, frente a muchas personas, y me pregunto ¿de dónde saca la fuerza para enfrentar estas cosas usted? en general en la vida, que es una sorpresa, ¿qué es lo principal que debo saber para dar buena predica? ¿y qué actitud debo tener?

se me sale el corazón al escribir esto guru maharaj, pues son muchas emociones y pensamientos de muchas vivencias que he tenido, espero que esto me haga crecer... reverencias a usted y que sri nrsimhadeva le muestra su misericordiossa mirada siempre... su aspirante a sirviente mandara sakha das

HpS - Jaya!  www.translate.google.com     Thank you for your letter.  It is long and we do not read Spanish so well, but we ran through it well. Thank you so much.

The answer is that we are not doing pure devotional service. We are not doing all these things, austerities, completely for Krsna. The SB is our means of success. All the answers are in there and in CC we see Lord Caitanya's demonstration on how to use it.

There are so many subtle material attachments. I do many things so I will think that I am St. Peter, or Hari das Thakura et al.

Really it is 50% for glorifying my false ego. I want my material personality, mask, and its vehicle to be noticed, glorified.

Just continue with the process. Keep good rounds and four principles strict as your standard. Adjust your Sankirtana and Temple work to improve those two things.

Then gradually, rapidly, you, we, will become more and more pure.

If we want to serve Krsna then we have to see how his instruments, auto, body, computer, are being cared for properly.

Of course, this is the material world and there are problems everywhere, but if we are in KC then we see how these problems are perfect impetous to advance.

O.K. Go ahead for Krsna!!!

Dear Maharaja,

PAMHO, AGTSP

Maharaja, it has been a long time that I communicated with you. I raed your Kapi Dhwaja regularly. As you may already know, Shatakshi got married to a boy of Mumbai situated in Pune and aspiring from H H Radhanath Maharaja. Both are under the counselling system of Maharaja.

They have their own newly married couple stuggle and both are doing exceptionally well. Aja is in Kingville, Texas and job wise he is trying to get a regular tenured faculty job. Always busy and not chanting very super well and hoping he will fix more time to chant.

My job here in GLA University as Head of the Civil Engineering Dept is very peaceful and nice. I am able to rise at 3:40 am and after full morning program, four principles, and 16 rounds, I go to job at 10 am and return at 6 pm. Driving time is about 15 minutes. Management, faculty and staff here are mostly all brajvasis and there fore lot better consciousness.

They have allowed me to start a 4 credit Open Elective Bhagavad Gita course in English dept. I was able to draft the outcome based syllabus only due to your mercy, guidance, and association through your online Bhakti Sastri and Bhakti Vaibhava classes. What ever little bit of understanding of BG and SB I have is only due to your online classes. The syllabus is attached for your comments.

Maharaja, how is your health and when you are planning to visit India.

With my best regards,

Yours Servants,

Shri Hari Dasa

Hare Krishna dear Gurumaharaja

All glories to Srila Prabhupada and Sankirtan Movement of Lord Caitanya

All Glories to your Sankirtan

Hopping you are in better health now

Gurumaharaja,

We wanted to share a little about our actual personal situation in Mexico City but Your health is more important and of course technology media is there to make this more practical.

After a long an exhausted fight with lawyers and Immigration to get my Husband, Ranchor Krishna Das, his Mexican residency, we finally succeed.

HpS - Jaya!

And after almost two years of been living in different places he finally reached Mexico last week.

HpS - ASA -  Muy Jaya!.

Separation was a good teaching on how to improve or interactions, communications and our real propose in marriage.

We trying our best following the words you told us in Vrindavan. Been controlled with my words has been the more challenging part. My family is Happy we are formally together.

So far everything is good and we are happy to start our family life together, just getting adjust to balanced behavior as grihastas. We have morning program in the house, japa and Indi-mexican Prasadam for Goura Nitai.

We are both working in the creation of Retreat and Travel Company, we named Giriraj Retreats

ASA - Just a thought. Many people may not know wah "Giriraja" means and may have a hard time remembering it. Maybe another name would be better for business.

, http://girirajretreats.com that already is taking 50 people to India this 2018 and the goal for 2019 is 200. Mainly Yoga teachers, Ayurveda practitioners and even a group of architects that want to study indian Architecture. Our goal and inspiration is that we can facilitate the connection between Indian and American culture and bring them to Holy land India and Vrindavan Dham and they can become devotees.

ASA - Super!.

Even serve Latin-American devotees in their visit to all holy Dhams in India during Karthika month. We will be spending almost half a year in India and the second half in Mexico.

Please bless us so we can perform this service accordingly.

Govinda Pramodini Dasi & Ranchor Krishna Das

HpS - Jaya!!!!   Tourism for Indians might also be nice. There is so much to see in Latin America also. You don't have to make money. Just engage in devotional service, which is always fun and purifying, and money will be there.

Hare Krsna!!!   Have fun!!  With Krsna!

Arina de Valencia. Haribol!

Hare Krishna,  dear Hanumatpresaka Swami!

 

Please accept my humble obeisances.

 

All glories to Srila Prabhupada!

 

I'm very happy about your travel to Spain. I hope to meet you in person and learn a lot from your association. I had planned to do the introductory course to Bhakti yoga and the Disciples course this summer, but I am in a difficult economic situation and I do not know what will happen in summer, if I can pass it in NV or if I will stay in Valencia.

 

Maybe I have to work to pay for university next year.

 

I'm learning a lot in university. In arts, it is very easy to focus on Krishna. For example, I did a work about the '' Ego '', in which I present the idea of ​​the true Ego (which waters the roots of the tree) and the false Ego that tries to irrigate itself (leaf).

 

I thought that I could represent analogies of this type that are described in the scriptures. Janardana Das gave me the idea of ​​representing  complicated concepts (ego, subtle body, detachment ...), because the majority of Krishna art presents pastimes.

 

I try to be focused on Krishna as much as possible. I made an oral presentation in History of Art about the material modes of nature throughout the history of art: neoclassicism -bondability), romanticism -passion, modernity -ignorance). It is interesting how the gunas are acting, and how this is reflected in the ideals of each era. I was lucky that my teacher is interested in these types of subjects :).


Lately it's hard for me to go to bed early and get up early, it starts getting hot and more noise from the street and noise from mosquitoes! I keep doing mangala aratis every day at 5.30 am + -, reading, sing 16 rounds and go to class. 4 principles ok.

 

I continue to do service and participate in temple programs.
Sometimes the imps tempt me, but ok.. thanks to the mercy of the devotees and the writings of saintly people, I end up focusing on Krishna again.

Thank you for everything, I hope your health does not bother you too much, and that you can continue serving Srila Prabhupada. At your service, Arina. I hope to see you soon!

(The sculpture is Lord Caitanya)

HpS - Such nice Saints in Spain to follow.... Teresa....   Then Rosa, Lima....    If they were here today would become ecstatic in the "Teachings of Lord Caitanya", no?

Nice book to read and then distribute in the university.

Your body is like your shoes. Develop a consciousness far beyond them.

We also hope to see you all soon.

We wait for some more news in a few weeks, no?  Are any of your fellow students CIA agents or Agents of Satan?
