HpS - ASA --  Hare Krsna. Como se llama?  Cuantos anyos tiene?  Cual es su modo de trabajo - carpenteria, limpieza, abogado, prensa?   Muy bien conocerte.

All glories to Srila Prabhupada!

All glories to Gaura Bhakta !

Hare Krishna Gurudeva! Please accept my obeisenses.

Hope you have had a very nice Vyasa Puja celebration.

HpS - It was kind of booring.  Ha!  Ha!  Ha!   There was no local celebration and then we had some little contact with the devotees by internet. It was O.K.    We are happy with it.   Really, for us every day is a Vyasapuja Day. Every Mangala-arati is a Vyasapuja. It is a nice festival. In some ways it was nice not having a big event for a change. How are you??

I am very very thankful to  Krsna of [for] presenting me a reliable spiritual master and so sad i m so hard hearted  that i could not take real benefit.

HpS - Yes, I feel the same way about my selfish relationship with Srila Prabhupada, but we are coming to this human form of life after 100s of millions of births. We can only be so merciful to others as he is being merciful to us.

Is so difficult to find at this times  such souls, such sanctity and humility is not very common, and this is a reflect of your loyality and discipline to Jagad Guru Srila Prabhupada.

There is some long time i m not reportin,  this have been a very very very intense year for me, adpative process social, work, livin with a baby,not sleepin at all, many changes, is very nice and very very tangled.  needin much as water in the desert to improve sadhu sanga, sankirtan and my  personal sadhana.

House, the construction almost ready.  Proyecting for next year (please bless me) to start some kind of programs , mostly sankirtan programs. Was thinking with homa, lecture and  kirtan.

HpS - H a r e   K r s n a !!  May it become an Ashrama that is famous for hundreds of years.

Developin in work mostly with Ayurveda, Yoga, Sound therapies,  havin nice oportunities in that field to share some sparkles of Krsna conciesness.

ASA - Achaa!! 

Will travel India next january for a month, taking my parents and a group of people that are with the intention of knowing india spirituality, could you give me some recomendation? 

HpS - Don't travel too much. If you do, all you see, experience, is the inside of cars, buses, airplanes, trains, waiting lounges.  Go a few places and sit and watch things.   Arrange to have nice hosts wherever you will be going. They will let you see the Vedic India.
 

Hankering your personal asociation,

your very mistaken pseudo disciple,

Pd: Attach some photos,nice meditation workshop in the Ratha yatra of Bs.as, last november, like 100 people! 

HpS - Thank you! Lalita is cute. The one picture looks like a lot of people died in a catastrophe and you covered them with blankets. <img alt="laugh" height="23" src="http://hps.monkeywarrior.com/sites/all/libraries/ckeditor/plugins/smiley/images/teeth_smile.png" title="laugh" width="23" /> <img alt="laugh" height="23" src="http://hps.monkeywarrior.com/sites/all/libraries/ckeditor/plugins/smiley/images/teeth_smile.png" title="laugh" width="23" /> <img alt="laugh" height="23" src="http://hps.monkeywarrior.com/sites/all/libraries/ckeditor/plugins/smiley/images/teeth_smile.png" title="laugh" width="23" /> <img alt="laugh" height="23" src="http://hps.monkeywarrior.com/sites/all/libraries/ckeditor/plugins/smiley/images/teeth_smile.png" title="laugh" width="23" />  First Aid, Primeros auxilios, del Goloka!

Dandavat Pranam

HpS - ASA -- And our Pranams to you and all the ISKCON Manipuri Bhakta Vrnda!

In the BRS Sloka 2:1:113 Translation – Another example from Stotraratna of Yamunacarya (60) – O Ramachandra, best of the Radhu [Raghu?] dynasty! You are so merciful to the crow which packed [pecked?] Sita’s breast, but which then offered respects to You. O Krsna, so forgetful of others sins! You gave attractive impersonal liberation to Sisupala who offended You for many lifetimes. Tell me what offense exists in him that You would not tolerate?   …….. The reference to omitting offenses for many lives (pratibhavam) indicates tht Krsna is superior to Rama because Krsna liberated him.

* Footnote : Jayanta, son of Indra, took the form of a corw and packed ber breast, and Rama sent His arrows after the  crow. The crow finally surrendered to Rama, and lost only his right eye.

Guruji! What is the underlying story mentioned above? Please let me know the story

HpS - I looked for the story in www.vedabase.com. There is nice Ramayana summary there by Krsna Dharma Das, but I didn't find the story. As I remember from ready many Ramanyanas Indra wanted to test Lord Rama to see if He was actually Bhagavan. So while Sita and Rama were lying, resting, side by side in the jungle, he took the form of a crow and then began to claw the breasts of Mother Janaki even drawing blood. This is so horrible, no? There can be no justification for this. Lord Rama saw this and then empowered a blade of grass and it flew after the crow to kill it. Indra flew away but could not escape but then came to Lord Rama bowing down and asking for forgiveness. Rama said that He would forgive him but after being invoked the Astra had to do some damage, so Indra sacrificed one eye.

I will go an participate ISKCON foundation day at Manimandir, Imphal which will be celebrated there on the 25th Dec. 2017.

Yours fallen servant

Yamunesvara Das

 Accept my most humble obeisances, dear Maharaja!

  Dear Maharaja, we celebrated Vyasa puja yesterday, it was one of the most beautiful experiences I've lived so far, I hope Krishna blesses you with good health so we can continue receiving your enlighting teachings and find our path to spiritual enlightening to be good devotees. I've been attending to Mangal Aarti every day lately, trying to organize everything so I can continue to assist, doing service,  and also improving my chanting every day. Following the principles has been my main task since I learned about Krishna consciousness as chanting my rounds as well, but I've felt close to the process by attending mangal aarti, it has changed my life. I wanted to ask for your shelter, it's my most deep and humble desire of becoming one of your disciples. I want it to ask you if you remember the letter i sent you with your disciple Japa Nama Rama Das, with the draw of the monkey dancing to Lord Jagannath, back in July? I humbly ask for shelter under your teachings but never received an answer to my question. I don't mean to be impatient (in fact I am mostly, but Krishna knows how much I've been working on getting better and control it). my association with devotees its centered on charing with devotees who live in the temple and the ones that come for Sunday's festival. I'm planning to go to Peru next year. 

Bhaktina Andrea. 

HpS - Thank you. Thank you for getting closer to the Temple. Yes!    Thank you for the drawing. I can't remember exactly where he went but I remember thinking, "Oh, he can go here very nicely!"

Initiation. Did you read our Guru-tattva, how we understand the role of Guru?

Here is the address in Spanish. I think it is pretty current, but the English location also follows. What do you think about it?
