Día del padre en Argentina.

7 years, 11 months ago by Julieta Corzo Fillmore in Personal Sadhana Reports

Hare Krsna Gurudeva!

Toda Gloria a Srila Prabhupada!

Toda Gloria a Sri Sri Nitay Gourasundar!

Gloria al Movimiento de Sankirtana de Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu!!

 Espero Gurudeva que Usted se encuentre bien de energía.

ASA - Oink!

 Quería contarle que hoy es el día del padre en Argentina y es inevitable para mí no pensar en usted y en la persona que hizo posible que yo esté aquí en la tierra. Así que le hago un regalo. Le envío unas fotos del altar del Buenos Aires mandir de hoy!!!

ASA - Oink!!!!!!

Tuve la posibilidad de adorar una vez mas a Sus Señorias Sri Sri Adi Goura Nitay y Govinda Sila y Srila Prabhupada. De hecho es mi servicio fijo los domingos y otros tres días a la semana. Estoy aprovechando una vez mas mi paso por el templo para poder servir en algo en este movimiento dorado de Srila Prabhupada. Claro que todo esto no sería posible si no es por su misericordia. Realmente estoy muy muy muy inspirada y agradecida. Mis rondas bien y mejorando, los principios fijos, mantras gayatri noventa por ciento, sorry!! El corazón sanando pero mas inteligente... Jajaja.

 Le envío también la única foto que tengo de mi padre, su nombre es Juan Ricardo Corzo. No lo he conocido en persona pero en algún sentido estoy en deuda con el.

ASA-Nos siento que nunca has visto su Padre. Puede ser chispa de Dios.

Por favor Gurudeva disculpe las ofensas de esta sirvienta suya. Estoy en deuda con usted y Srila Prabhupada así que mientras esté respirando voy a intentar servir en algo en esta fiesta trascendental. Gracias...gracias.,.gracias....gracias.. gracias....gracias!!!

 A su servicio, Jahnava Devi dasi.

Haribolo!

Your advice is needed

All glories to Srila Prabhupada

Im hoping that you finally can get some rest in Houston after all your successful preaching travels to South America. I was hoping also that by this time you could have the opportunity to see our previous letter and from there take our decisions. But I totally understand your busy schedule.

We just wanted to share with you that we were talking to different advisors and family members about our family situation, in which for more than a year my husband and I have been separated. This situation start to affect our relationship and also has been difficult to plan and take action in the same direction.

I was attached to the idea of attending school in US and get a OK job but in conversations with Ranchor Pr seems more practical to start a business together. My family in Mexico offered help so we can start there, and also Ranchor Pr is getting in contact with his family members in Mumbai after many years.

We were thinking to go México and continue serving there, start some practical source of money and at least together think in future plans.
We will like to know your opinion in this regard because obviously want to keep our family, consciousness and in general Center our lives in KC.

The idea of sacrificing family and relationships in order to get green cards in US with the hope of material stability seems not worth it for us anymore.

HpS - Ugh!  Seems stupid to us the way you describe it.

Temple in Columbus Ohio still want us to contribute to their projects but is uncertain when they will be able to get my husband here.

Please advice us

*i personally prefer to receive the answer to our emails but is under your discretion [email protected]

Yours in service 
Govinda Pramodini Devi Dasi 

HpS - We arrived 6pm on Wednesday and drove straight to Nila madhava Dhama for evening Bh. Vaibhava program. Yesterday a little rest and today we are on the road again for a visit to Ksiti kapoor's home and an evening program in Sugar land. We will get back to the Temple about 9.30PM.   Let us answer your question here because about 6-more people probably have the same question.

The basic decision factor is what will improve your service to the greedy, selfish, Lord Sri Krsna. He wants to enjoy (but He shares it with everyone). You first service is to chant Hare Krsna all the time. After that chant Hare Krsna on beads 1728 times daily with ENTHUSIASM#$%^! while follow>>ing strictly the four regulative principles. If you do this then your family life will follow like a shawdow (Don't think it will be materially happy. (It will be purrr i fying (and internally very happy (for everyone))).

Like you say bow down to your husbands feet and remember that he is 5-years older than you and then offer your suggestions on the family affairs, and success or failure, follow his decisions. Making money in Mexico sounds great. Get your PhD in husband following! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w70-1b9SCj0

So, moving to Mexico seems O.K. from here. It gives a lot of options.

Hara-lila Das just came up and asked us when we wanted lunch and I reminded him that he saw us cut up all the mango we had received before it went bad and make a kitri in the blender of the yogurt, peaches, bananas and pnut butter we had also received before they went bad, so all we needed was some puri and subji at 5PM.

Then  he said that Govinda called and I said that we spotted her letter and were taking first chance of hitting the ground to answer her first. We will call her, you, as soon as he finished lunch so we can talk together because "He (sannyazi) is even forbidden to talk with a woman in a secluded place. ", BG 16.1, and talking on the telephone is talking alone.

O.K. Let's check the yahoo - mail! and work on the ISKCON Journal!

All glories to Srila Prabhupada, all glories to you dear Gurumaharaja.
Escuse me, I want to apologize for distracting you in your sankirtan, I know you have been very busy, I've been able to see photos and tweets that have been shared by devotees, it makes me very happy. Since two months ago I arrived with my family to India, Mumbai, maybe soon you will find a letter in the blog, which I sent last month.
The next week we have the desire to visit Vrindavan with my family, I feel worried because I have not asked for his permission, and advice to enter the holy dham, I think necessary for not making offenses, and to have a better vision of This blessed place. I know that I am nobody, and a insignificant disciple (if, at least, I could even be that) ... and very foolish to try to understand a little about the purity of Vrndavan, but I live with the faith every day yhat never forget all mercy of Krishna and Srila Prabhupada in this life, also thank you Gurudeva for all your mercy without cause.
Please forgive my offenses.
Your servant Satyabhama dd

DESPERTANDO...

7 years, 11 months ago by Amparo Hernandez Castillo in Personal Sadhana Reports

Hare Krishna Gurumaharaja!

HpS - ASA -- Hare Krsna!  Mejor dirigir a nosotros como, "Maharaja", como "Guru Maharaja", por que acuerdo con etiqueta ISKCON, "Guru Maharaja" es despues de ser una aspiranta formal

Por favor acepte mis respetuosas reverencias !

Todas las Glorias a Srila Prabhupada !!!

Gurudeva,después de un tiempo me conecto,le diré que estoy cantando 16 rondas no siempre en la mañana termino,pero si en el transcurso del día,4 principios cumplidos.

Sigo con mi colecta de pan ,por eso no canto todas mis rondas de mañana,pues estoy muy cansada, es físico y también creo mental,me disculpo por eso pues se nada debe interferir con las rondas lo mejorare.

Sigo con la lectura ,volví a leer el terraplén de la separación ,en cuanto al SB. hicimos una pausa ,Prabhu Amala esta en lima con su papá, ya regresa y retomamos,el es mi asociación y guía,pues hablamos mucho d3 lo que leemos,seguimos viviendo en la misma casa y aunque las cosas no son iguales ,pienso que están mejor,pues solo podemos ver todo vida espiritual o eso tratamos ya que después de tanta frustración entiendo que es todo lo que existe que es real y siempre me lo dice.

Estoy atendiendo a Tulasi pues a pesar del clima sigue creciendo bonita,le ofresco incienso y le canto,hago ofrenda del medio día,tengo un altar pequeño y ese es mi servicio(yo lo tomo así),ya tengo internet en casa,así que podré conectarme diario al fmp...

Gurudeva he leído libros de Narayan Maharaja,y también citas ,hay veces las lee Amala y me explica, y me pasa que después cuando leo libros de prabhupada todo es mas fácil de entender.

Gurudeva agradesco por siempre responder y guiarme,lamento mucho haber perdido tiempo,haciendo cosas opuestas a lo que usted me decia,espero algún día poder ser hija suya y poder tener la misericordia y dejar de ser esta persona torpe e inutil que soy ahora ,para poder así ser una devota o mejor aun ,volverme vaisnava.

Su sirvienta bhaktin Amparo.

HpS - ASA -- Desculpa la demurra responder. Como estivimos explicando en el Kapi Dhvaja hay demasiado actividades mientras viajando responder a todas cartas. Estamos en casa despues de 27 Julio.  Muy buenas sus noticias. Hemos pasado un dia en Cusco y nos vio el senor Amala durante esta visita. El sentio que no tiene una relacion practico con su estimable presidente en Cusco, entonces nuestra sugerincia es communicar con Mathuresa Das con copia del carta aqui.

Sin duda, acuerdo su carta, Vd es en el sendero correcto y solamente va a pasar bueno para Vd. y sus relacions.

Hari Bolo!!!

Urgent regarding my marrige

7 years, 11 months ago by Bhishambhar Gauranga Das in Personal Sadhana Reports

JAYE SREE KRISHNA CHAITAINYA PRABHU NITYANANDA SREE ADVAITA GADADHAR SREEBASH ADI GAUR BHAKTA BRINDA

 

BOLO SREE KRISHNA CHAITAINYA JAYE RADHE JAYA KRISHNA

HARE KRISHNA HARE KRISHNA KRISHNA KRISHNA HARE

HARE HARE RAMA HARE RAMA RAMA HARE HARE

NITAI GAUR PREMANANDE HARI HARI BOL…

HARE KRISHNA GURUMAHARAJji,

Please accept my most humble obeisance onto Your Lotus Feet.

All Glories to Srila Prabupad.

How r U Guru Maharaj Ji? Hope recovering from your pain in chest and thereby feeling better.

At here regarding my Ph.D. on the meteorite that KRISHNA had gifted me, I have been trying my best to communicate with professors worldwide, with a faint hope in my heart if they give me one chance to pursue research work under their kind guidance. But no positive result came back for me. Finally, a researcher from UC Davis came to know about me and the meteorite. He suggested me to appear GRE & TOEFL exams by November and after scoring good marks in those exams I can communicate with the professors from UC Davis, they might take me!!!

But for my home members, they are not supporting me in this respect. My father wants me to join his business and extend it more. And according to my mother, they are very old now so I should be with them. So, accordingly, I have slightly modified my idea to serve KRISHNA by research works. If I am bound to do business then I shall be doing distance education- BA, MA in Mathematics from some good universities and there by trying my best to delineate the mathematical principles’ that are beautifully ornamented in ancient Vedas, Upanishads and other holy books. Through this, I can show a link between science and religion.

I was born on 16/03/1985 at 12:50 pm, Imphal. So accordingly, in the meantime, my parents are in a rush to get me married as soon as possible??? Since I am the only devotee from my home so my parents don’t understand what type of life partner would be the best fit for me (a devotee). According to them, I eat pure vegetarian so a girl who eats vegetarian would be O.K.???

Many have introduced them with devotee girls for my marriage but they had shown little interest to them. Finally, a devotee girl from Shillong (born on 29/01/1997) is somewhat being liked by them so they have decided to meet her family (as because of both our birth chart matches 30 out of 36 gunas).  They want me to finish the marriage ceremony before the end of  Shrawan month (with in 20 days).

GuruMaharajji, please have mercy on me and kindly give your precious suggestion in this matter.

If I have bored you by my long mail then plz forgive me.

Yours most foolish and fallen servant,

Bishambhar Gauranga Das 

HpS - AGTSP paoho.  Thank you for your news and letter.  Very much. Hearing from you brings back many nice memories from Northeast.   First principle is that Canakya Pandita says that victory comes from good advice, and good advice comes from many counselors. So, that is my first advice, discuss your marriage and ashrama with many people.

Second, is that we cannot possible know the details of your life with so little contact as we have, so you need to develop relations with people who know you in more detail, Siksa gurus. Drona was the Siksa guru for the Pandavas and Dhaumya was the Kula-guru, family guru. SB 1.9.67, "He was actually the right type of priest of a householder, for he could guide the Pāṇḍavas on the right path of religion. A priest is meant for guiding the householder progressively in the right path of āśrama-dharma, or the occupational duty of a particular caste. There is practically no difference between the family priest and the spiritual master. The sages, saints and brāhmaṇas were especially meant for such functions." Someone like HariDas Maharaja could help in this function.

Third, yes, 32-years old is really very old in Varna-ashrama-dharma for getting married. SB 1.17.38 "2. There must be compulsory marriage of young boys and girls attaining twenty-four years of age and sixteen years of age respectively.", but this is Kali-yuga, but maybe you should remain B'cari.   My intuitive since would be that it would be best to get married and a couple of children quickly. Then you could progress from Grhastha ashrama to Vanaprastha, Sannyasa by 60-years old, maximum.

Fourth, the basis for all of these decisions is, "How will this help me chant 16-enthusiastic rounds and follow the four principles strictly?"

Regarding career path. I would say that the metiorite study would be too specific and difficult. Better to try some business with your father. You don't need a diploma for that work.  Just try doing business and then you can judge from the results. You can find time to develop your intellectual service along with your daily business actvities.

O.K. On to the next letter.

Thank you.
